When going out onto the ice, follow a well used path if there is one. Don't go alone if possible & walk single file about 20 feet apart. Carry a 50 ft. length of nylon rope with you in case somebody falls through the ice. If you fall through the ice, try to stay calm & catch your breath for the first minute, before you attempt to get back on to the ice.
