What is one tip for beginners wanting to start ice camping?

When you're ice camping, your tent is your temple. It's what stands between you and significant hardships that may cost you your health or life. Hypothermia or frostbite are no jokes. You'd want to double-check every sharp item in your possession, such as ice axes or ski edges, and make sure there's no danger of them tearing your shelter up. In fact, it'd be ideal to keep them outside.
