It was –40 degrees out there. Luckily I brought two diesel heaters, one as a backup in case something went wrong. Honestly, I have no doubt that if my heater had failed, I could’ve frozen to death out there.

I’m born and raised in Saskatchewan where -40 isn’t exactly uncommon. I am used to the cold and have gear for the cold. But there is no way you get me to go into a pop up shelter with any amount of heat to go ice fishing below -30.
You’re either brave or reckless. Likely both. Hats off to your survival.

Nope, I last year stayed out over ish with my kid and it got down to -13f propane heater couldn’t keep us warm. When it’s that cold everything seems to break. I don’t even consider going out if it’s going to be below 0 now.

I don’t think it’s worth to ice fish in those kind of temps.
