Abstract
A portable supply box particularly for use in ice fishing is disclosed. The holding unit includes a body mounted on a pair of parallel ski-type runners. The unit includes an interior that is divided into three sections. The first section is a lantern section, the second is an intermediate section, and the third is a rear section. A seat is provided over the intermediate section. Both the intermediate and rear sections include hinged covers. One or both of these sections may be used for storing goods. A tray is provided for holding fishing articles such as hooks. The user straddles the body so that his hands are disposed over the lantern section. There is an opening provided over the lantern section so that rising heat may be used to warm the user's hands. A window is provided on the front end of the lantern section so that light may pass therethrough for illuminating the local environment for fishing during the evening or at night.
