No Snowmobile? No Problem: Get a Boat, a Motor and a Buzzsaw Blade

Just like the Inuits used to do it

Thought NYC was finally warming up, and I was wrong. This morning it was in the 20s. I have to keep reminding myself that there are a lot of folks dealing with cold a lot worse than this.

Like this man, Clayton Will, for instance. Will is a veteran ice fisher who runs WillCFish, a YouTube channel dedicated to giving tips to fellow ice fishers. You'd think maybe he gets around the ice on a snowmobile, but that's not his style; instead he rigged up a boat sitting on runners made from metal pipes, powered by an old gas engine—driving a buzzsaw blade:

I'm not sure exactly what part of the world Will is operating out of, but wherever he is, there must be a very irate sawmill owner nearby.

I am all about ingenuity and creativity. This thing is definitely unique! I feel a little anxious with that massive exposed buzz-saw blade hanging out, but as long as everyone is careful than I am okay with it, I guess. I think I will stick to my snowmobile. http://www.akcyclecenter.com

Probably much safer than a snowmobile. If the ice were to break, it looks like he'd stay afloat. Thin ice kills snowmobilers ever year.
