When I was a young feller, had an uncle who made something like that for getting out ice fishing.
After the peak of his cap was cut off by the prop, he soon made a wire frame prop guard.
Next stop (or maybe the first) was probably down to the nearest store for new undies.

The Russians used similar vehicles as tactical and transport machines in WWII. They called them Aerosans.

Thanks Terry!
That looks like a severely re-engined Fudge Snowplane built in Moosomin, Saskatchewan.
There's one with a smaller engine at about 1:40 in this clip:
Creations like that were pretty common on the Canadian and US prairies in the 1930' to 50's. Some were homebuilt (a relative of mine made a 4-seater in about 1936) while others were commercial productions.
