Whats Your Preference...bucket or chair

[TopH2O]

I have been using a Cabela's Director's chair for the last few years. The feature I like the most is the height of the chair which allows me to get up quickly when there's a fish on. The design also provides some much needed back support during a long day on the ice.
The chair has an aluminum frame so it doesn't add much weight to the sled. The folding table arm on the right side is also handy to keep anything close at hand.

Years ago when I did use my bucket as a chair, I would put my boat cushion on the top of the bucket to avoid the toilet bowl effect. The boat cushion is my throwable rescue device and it has 100 feet of poly rope attached so it can be used to assist someone getting out of the water if they go through the ice.

Everyone should have a throwable rescue device available while on the ice. Such a device and some ice picks can make a huge difference in getting out of the water in an emergency. Let's all be safe out there...especially in the early and late season ice fishing.

PS.....I'll give everyone one chance to guess which fish finder I would recommend.
