Getting permie off of the ice

One my friends put his 6×10 ice shack on a local lake in January sometime well in SD they need to be off by march 1 he has tried salt and warming the shack up can’t get it off any ideas wud be helpful

Get some pressure under it on the frame if you can, either a bottle jack or a handyman. Then start chiseling, usually the pressure will help. And then there’s always the old 30/30 rifle method. I bet he learned a lesson regarding blocking it up, this usually only happens to a person once.

Ya that’s what I heard where are we supposed to shoot?

If you’re serious, shoot around the walls close to the skids. Be careful to use earplugs! The pressure method usually works though. I have an old bar the railroad uses for track ties that can usually pop anything loose, know anyone with one or a friend that works for the railroad? Do you have skids or is the whole floor and cross members all frozen in? If that’s the case I don’t know anything (legal) you can do besides start taking it apart or take the fine and wait for warm weather to thaw it loose.

Use a rosebud to help melt the ice, chisel the ice and use a big pry bar, it’s gonna take time but it’s better than a fine.

It’s the kind that the hitch swings up in the air

Outdraft is right, you might have to get a little meaner. 2 x 4’s are replaceable in the spring and if it’s 2×6’s or skids it will come loose.

Thanks guys

Primacord ?

chainsaw???

chainsaw is good
just to be clear, more desirable to cut the ICE “under” the edges of the shack rather than cutting off the bottom of the shack
