You'd love ice fishing here in Minnesota, they take it SERIOUS!

Imagine an ice house with; AM/FM/Cassette/CD and 8 speaker system, Color TV with VCR, a microwave, card table and chairs, windows with curtains, often a rug, and propane heaters, bunk beds and some are even fancy by comparison. They are scattered on every lake in the winter, and on some lakes there are so many that they set them up in 'streets and avenues' so they can get mail and have pizzas delivered.(seriously) Some guys live on the lake for months, fishing, fishing, fishing, to their hearts content.

Grumpy old men, huh? Yeah, I saw many "ice houses" while living in North Dakota, but only from a distance. I've never seen one on the inside, but I can imagine how creative some can get. Perhaps When I retire I might look into trying this (might have to get an invite from someone who lives where ice fishing is possible). In California there aren't many lakes within a reasonable driving distance where this type of fishing is possible.
