Thanks for sharing that misfortune of going through the ice. It has to be the most terrible and helpless feeling. My son and I were snowshoeing near a lake in northern MN and that same thing happened to a couple crossing a lake. They also could safely return to their vehicle which was somewhat nearby. We saw them upon our return as they were parked near our own vehicle. It was a lesson that WE learned through their mishap. We always carried those hooks to pull us up and onto the ice should it ever happen to us. We enjoy both your videos as well as those of Xander and realize the cold winter camping experience through them. Thank you.

I started to panic and as i was starting to freak out my entire boot started to completely fill with water. I eventually got my snowshoe and thus leg back but the temps were single digits the whole weekend. Needless to say we survived, i had a second pair of columbias in the truck for winter so i was fine.

Some people might question why you tested the lake and fell in, but I for one, think this is a great video and how things happen in life.

I love watching Winter Survival video's and there are a lot of other youtubers who would not have shared the footage and the realistic events that can happen. Much Love from Australia. I think the lowest temp I have been in was -9 Degrees Celsius and - 42 Degrees Celsius, But I was working at a Ice Cream factory. We were not allowed in the -9 for more than 30 minutes and the -42 Snap Freeze for more than 2 minutes. We don't get much lower than -5 in most parts of Australia though. (Can be lower in the Ski/Snowboard destinations though During winter).

Thank you so much for your kind words Teri! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Eeep! I fell onto the pool once and went right through the ice, completely submerged. Fortunately, I was able to be in the house and out of my wet clothes within a minute or so. The trek back to your car in wet clothes must have been a bit uncomfortable. Hope you were able to change into something dry once you got there. Life's little lessons... ;)

It worked out okay - I had nice dry clothes to change into. Wow being fully submerged sounds painful! Merry Christmas, Alan! Thanks for watching

Stay warm looking very cold out there. MERRY CHRISTMAS
