Abstract: An ice prod set comprises two ice prods, each of which comprises a handgrip having attached to one end thereof a metal spike which extends coaxially with the handgrip and each of which prods is held detachably in a two-part prod holder. A first safety line extends between respective parts of the two-part holder, such as to form a loop for placing the ice prod set around the neck of a bearer, and a second longer safety line is securely fastened to the handgrip of each ice prod and to the holder. Each of the handgrips incorporates a hollow or cavity in which the second longer line can be stowed when the ice prods are carried in their respective holder parts. According to the invention the cavity has a part which extends axially within the handgrip of respective ice prods and merges with an opening provided in a lower outer wall-surface of respective handgrips.
