Ice

So we are having a serious polar episode here in Mi. Got me thinking (scary!)….most everyone knows you can get taken out with a falling icicle. Does anyone know if Great Uncle Iceman could have ever successfully used hard ice as a sharp edged advantage somehow? You could certainly bash someone over the head with one, which would have been about as far as I’d have taken it:P

Beyond keeping the home brew cold, :?:?:?:?

Not sure about our ancestors but my brother in law (retired pathologist) once told me that the perfect murder weapon is an icicle through the heart–weapon melts away, no finger prints but if you have a big mouth:D you do the time. Think I’ll stick to long bow and arrow–just to keep this on thread.

Colmike,

That’s a reply I never saw coming. That was good! I wonder if it’s possible to chip out a sharp little ice point and actually have it work?

I’m pretty sure that Vanilla Ice has driven a few people off the cliff.

That’s all I got. 8)

Oh come on nobody else sees the possibility?

Ice knapping!

Well , it seems we need an INVENTIVE indidvidual to create a mold , and the means of getting a shaft perfectly centered and held in position while the water is added and allowed to freeze.

Next thought ? How big will a 300 grain ice broadhead be ?

Next thought ? Will it require ordinary tap water or dist-

illed ?

#3 Seems a COLEMAN 48 QT. cooler will need to be

to be adapted for use as a back or hip quiver .

Preserves broadheads and keeps the drinks and

Baloney cold too.

#4 Possibilty of a substantial yearround market

north of the Arctic Circle.

# 5 In the event of a good hit on a ,,,say ,,,

caribou , and not achieve a pass through , will

the melting broadhead allow better bleeding or

coagulate the blood ?
