strengh of ice for ice travel.

[plott hound]

here is a rule of thumb as per the Disston lumbermans handbook.
this guide is a liitle outdated but still holds up today.

ice 2 inches thick will bear man on foot

ice 4 inches thick will bear man on horseback

ice 6 inches thick will bear logging team with light load

ice 8 inches thick will bear logging team with heavy load

ice 10 inches thick will bear 1000lbs per square foot

this table is for pure sound ice

is there an aatv conversion ratio

If I'm not mistaken, those stats are only accurate if there is water directly under the ice, IE, NO AIRSPACE. If the water freezes on top, then the water level drops under the ice, you're going DOWN

Ice over moving water will hold Trebmasters Argo....I saw it. I won't be outdone.....so I guess that ice will hold a Max also. LOL
