John's Ice Shack 

Great Story...Some Grandchild will have a great mentor to learn from!

He is so cool. The ice shack was great and that can crusher is ingenious! They have some long cold winters. The first time I saw the Ice shack way of life was on "Grumpy Old Men". Back then I thought that would be so fun to do.

Made me smile. We oldsters still have it!

Love the shack would love to see more of how you put it together

You are so cool Joe . I agree with you on the type of ice fishing you do. . Good luck this season 👍 . Thx for sharing . Glad I ran across your story.

I love this state and it's people. I can only hope I manage this at that age.

Good Job JOE! You have a Great Mind for mechanical things. What a great idea!

I love this, we can learn a lot from our older generation.

love these creative guys. I have met many in my lifetime living in Northern Wi. I am a machinist and the old guys like this are creative and independent, not may left in our throw away society.. I am going to remake my shack into something likes Joe has so I can move to find the fish and not have to drill so many holes all the lake. Great idea. If you see my shack on Lake Alice in Tomahawk Wi I will give Joe the credit he is due..

I really enjoyed his dialect as well. "And I says" strong "O" sound. Very Upper Midwestern.

That can crusher idea is totally brilliant, and there's a huge market for something like that today. Two thumbs up to Joe Podner for inventing it.

That's an intelligent man. Hopefully he has young family members to pass it on. I could listen to his stories all day long

My son would love this. He is a tinker too and a ice fisherman. Any kind of fishing is his thing.

Joe is a genius!! People like him should be praised for his expertise!

Apparently I have been ice fishing all wrong. Here's to you Joe! What a treat it would have been to sit and chat with this gentleman and catch a few fish on hard water.

What a wonderful guy. God bless him and his ideas. My Mom used to make pickled northern too. Great snack. This motorized ice hut would be a hot seller around the lake areas. Thanks for the vid

That's awesome! Great ingenuity. I don't live in an area that snows, but if I did, I could definitely see this as a deer blind as well.

A very creative old man! I love it!

Hats off to John....how many guys have thought about a shack like this and never followed through with it.

I love this! I need to look around for some tracks wish I knew how he did it. What a slick idea.

This man is a genius

I love it. Credit goes to Joe in his senior wisdom !

Brilliant idea and I'm sure there are a number of commercial applications.

Excellent idea Joe! They would sell big up here in Canada for sure.

Wow what a cool old man Jack is

good to see Joe was an Old Style man, a toast to Joe, landed a nice northern there too

The 1st Snowbear.

We NEED this fish shack! Would be so much easier to take our wheelchair bound son fishing!!

This guy is my hero

This gentlemen is my hero....

And we now have the sno bear! And it’s selling like crazy. Polaris shouldn’t have turned that idea down

Just love this, a strong midwestner, must be swede or norweigen. Love it.

VERY COOL!!! I love a great idea...........

My track truck is going to be the next ice fishing shack!!!

wickid sick

This is the type of Ice House I need. Cheaper than a snow bear!

That is awesome!

Love that man👍

I love his hat.

Very smart common sense thinking and environmentally responsible

love it...what a guy !

Good job Joe. Hope you're enjoying yourself.

....luv it Buck......

What America Is All About !

Really inventive!!!

I think it is just awesome. My respect to you!

This is pretty cool. Think I will stick to Fly Fishing though!

Someone from my hometown would do something like that.

I believe his name is "Joe" not "John".

I bet his father was from Russia ....

Is his name Joe or John, "you know?"

very cool

How can anyone leave a negative feedback on this???

Good stuff!

gotta love it!

Am I the only one bothered by the video being entitled "John's" when his name was "Joe"?

Joe P. is the man!!!!

Wonder what ever happened to his ice shack? I'd buy it

Awesome

OLD STYLE!!! YOO BETCHA!!

He is a thinker "

Why is the video called "John's ice shack" when the guy's name is Joe? (Joseph Podner).

so funny

My father's "Pickled Pike" recipe is/was much better than this guys tasty dream but I have no match to his motorized ice shanty... Whatta true blue ice fisherman...
