Breaking Through Ice WITHOUT Safety Equipment

I don't mean to imply that safety equipment is unnecessary, but a comfortability & calmness with ice water (and a plan for immediate shelter in the case of a breakthrough) are far more important to consider than having a life jacket and ice picks. Someone falling through bad ice is most likely to face tragedy by:
1. drowning quickly, if they panic and inhale water
OR
2. hypothermia long after the breakthrough, if they do not quickly get to warmth
Be safe by going slow with common sense and a chisel to check the ice before EVERY step.

Holy nostalgia that brought back memories lol

[@robertlessard9218]

Went through the ice on a slough a few weeks ago hunting, thought about your first video about this. Instant calm when I thought, step one calm down. Wasn’t alone but was able to get myself out

[@1Galag]

We lost Don Cherry, don’t loose the Wiebe next lol

[@DWSOutdoors]

"DONT PANIC!!!" lol Only guy I know that will willingly jump back in 3-5 times lol I have been through that water never gets any easier to be in! Nicely done once again Wiebe

[@NellysfishingAdventures]

I saw him jump back in and i thought he was crazy lol

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'll be sharing this to our group.

[@Kansas_Murph]

Good to see you back Arron. Always enjoy the videos.

[@NorthOntarioDave]

EVERYONE should try this so they know what to do when it goes down. PRICELESS Mr. Wiebe!

[@618Fishing]

Thems great tips

I just watched the video where u fell threw

[@trevormattson906]

Glad to see Aaron uploading again

[@northcountrycraftsman2558]

This was good to see. Thanks for uploading again.

[@bradyelich2745]

This your second video on ice safety, if you can call Jay thinking it was a hot tub. I think you need to do one of these every ice fishing season. The river is scary. My friend went under the ice in the Thompson River at Kamloops, BC, when he was a kid. Luckily, he came up in open water.

[@ahrenwagner4465]

Wiebe knows how to upload just as everyone gets out of school

Thanks for doing this Aaron, you continue to ROCK!!!! I do look forward to the episode where Michelle challenges you for upper body strength superiority.

[@petershea9818]

Crazy never stops with you keep up the great content!

[@minnesota4169]

Thanks for making this 😂😂 I’m thinking about going out this weekend hopefully it’s good and now I know how to stay safe

[@cameronboake]

Very good point in the fact that if you have fallen through the ice before you know what to expect but you also know the initial shock will fade if you can stay calm! nice work!

[@deathwish-vr6pp]

I'm so glad there is more and more videos on breaking through I fell through last year and good thing I saw a video on it ahead so I knew what to do

[@tharemyhopkins5873]

Went rafting at Glacier park where the water was [glacier ice] cold, and they let us jump in to swim for a bit. I remembered your last break-through-the-ice video as I sat there for the first 20 seconds just gasping to catch my breath because of the shock of the cold. You said wait till the shock passes before trying to get out. I agree, after it passed it was much easier to swim for a minute or so then climb back in the raft. Thanks for sharing!

[@adammarshall8963]

always been a huge fan of Wiebe and uncut angling super excited for the frostbite rods I have on the way.

[@kylesnavely6165]

Thank you for all your content and I can't wait for more!

[@traviscook7231]

A couple years ago I fell through the ice into about 4 feet of water and my feet got stuck in the mucky bottom. That was scary cause it was really difficult to pull my feet up out of the muck and get myself up into the thin ice.

[@fildiablos]

Hadn't considered falling through shallow..just assumed you could just push yourself out but doing alot of river fishing i totally understand getting stuck in the muck and it would add a unique challenge to getting out. I'd loose my boots for sure cause i wear them loose!

[@christheother9088]

That happened to me on snowshoes the other day...probably only up to my knees but the snowshoes really got mucked up and it took awhile to slowly pry them out. I was along the edge of frozen swamp and this was a small area between a couple mounds. Didn't expect any significant water there. Boom, no warning.

[@johnhanselman6371]

Great Video! The camera shots and demonstration was excellent.

[@chriskleist8352]

Aaron, this video saved my life. Thank you.

[@mnpluckedoutdoors9069]

Making a hole and jumping in isn’t how ice breaks on you, when you fall in its usually in between 2 big cracked sheets of ice collapsing in and you being in between falling in witch makes it difficult to climb up due to not having frozen stable ice to climb up on

[@nickweiland1244]

I agree! This knob took a completely controlled situation and made everything seem so easy peasy

[@willsonfishing8554]

He literally said that this situation is controlled and that this ice is strong unlike an actual situation so ur wrong

[@krisbarrow933]

Why are people thumbing this down this might save your life one day

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Never gets old seeing Aaron go through the ice!

[@epicoutdooradventures5715]

Love the videos! Keep up the great work!

[@lilajyoung1]

Great video i didn't know that.. Thanks for sharing and demonstrating..

[@Hogbellylife]

Thanks for the demo

[@jgonzalez4449]

Definitely got me a pair of picks this year and extra one for whoever wants to along with me

[@MidWestRiverRat]

Good video man. I went through a shallow pond this year. I sat in my shack for a few hours fishing. I did drill and check a lot of holes before deciding to fish it. Then while packing up my shack I went through right next to it in a spot that I didn't check. I felt really dumb. But I learned my lesson. That hard way. Could have been worse though.

[@sobifishing]

Great Tips & Tricks thanks Aaron!

[@johnathansawyer8736]

Love it! Thanks for this.

[@edboutdoors3632]

Aaron, you’re a gentleman and a scholar.

[@ceebfwmmuas1114]

Aaron is a trip!! Funny ass guy... “everyone should experience it once, or twice or three times... ahaha just keeps going in

[@chadclark2070]

Great video, will teach alot of people what to do!

[@jbonemalone]

"strong in-shape individual" was more funny

[@mariakihlstrom2176]

If the hole in the ice is bigger, it must be a lot harder to come up. Thank you for your video. It can sure save lifes.

[@thanhalicia]

talk about taking one for the team. WOW thats gotta be cold. great ice safety vid.

[@MrFuckface2013]

First two times were a PSA, 3 times... I'm starting to think this is some weird kink A-A-Ron has...

[@cokleecuz4824]

Nice video appreciate u showin people wad to do n how to get out of the ice hole

[@MountainStateAngler]

Great tutorial! Never have ice pics but do have a life jacket

[@matto.5093]

“Ice picks are for women and men that might be women” -Wiebe

[@kava8902]

As soon as I heard him mention if you don't have upper body strength perhaps if you're a woman I thought oh boy hope the feminists don't watch this. They'll go crazy...

[@customfliesbykluck8719]

😂

[@wishiniwasfishin8164]

My ice picks are kept in my wifes purse, prolly in the same pocket as my balls.

[@edstaart8548]

Totally right but there s also woman that look like man? What about them? Is it safe to say that when you r using ice picks you might as well wear lipstick?

[@sageen]

Lol only cool muricans would go without ice picks(and one less can't hurt), the rest of the world have them because safety is cooler. I bet aaron always have them on 😘

[@brycecoutney2841]

Love the vids man! Hope ping for a new video it’s always the first one I click on if I see it.

[@jonathanwieczorkowski3661]

At this point I swear you jump in for fun every year 😂

[@fishingwithchet6835]

Love your videos

[@WheresTheSauce]

It's also a good idea to walk around with a willow under your arm and ALWAYS remember the ice around pond weeds and grass sticking through is the thinnest.

[@hunterxbox11]

Tha k you for demonstrating

[@TaroMurata]

[@garybond3663]

Good tips

[@lukes.2014]

If I got to choose any big name in the game to fish with... It hands down would be with Wiebe. Preferably for some musky but could be any fish really. Easily the most entertaining guy out there.

[@tiefsa]

I got to get ice picks. Never been in, and don't plan on it, but I should get some just in case.

[@lukeluepke4665]

Hey come down to Minnesota and fish the Sauk rapids chain of lakes great fishing

[@SellsZac]

Ice pick races seem like solid content.

[@kylegendron3736]

never fail to deliver

[@RevampedOutdoors]

"Being a bit overweight." No mention of the obvious thermal advantage.

[@reliks14]

Hey there guy! I enjoy your videos quite a bit. Say I have a safety question about sight ice fishing. When your done and getting ready to head home is there any ways to warn other people to be careful about that spot in a potential fall through? Much thanks!

[@tiddiesprinkles]

Clicking this video WITHOUT thinking

[@345cleancutcustoms3]

Those are some sweet sunglasses

[@Morphman19]

Damn you really are crazy. Although I think Jay might have you beat, he accepted my idea of chiseling through 2ft of ice.

[@scottwilliamson1342]

Great video keep it

[@breckencoady1159]

Looks fun

[@pussywran]

Is this near breezy bend

[@ryan.m990]

Ice picks are good.... on clear ice, I fell in with atleast a foot deep of snow ontop the ice and that was a doobie, trying to move the snow away was energy killing. Lol ...

[@danielt.3152]

I fell thru ice near the middle of a frozen pond during a blizzard with high winds. Honestly I wish I would have had the ice picks for reassurance. That said, ice water is extremely cold and will get your full attention in a matter of seconds. I was a bit unlucky as the ice kept breaking as I headed to the shore every attempt I made to slide horizontally onto the ice a piece would break off and I would toss it to the side and keep going. It’s not as easy at it looks, because your clothing now weighs 100lbs I was wearing coveralls carharts , boots and multiple layers of cloths. Except now that the cloths are just more wet weight. If you are alone, wear the ice picks. I made it to shore, I sat down there to regain my composure then my clothing started to freeze, I had to walk home next. By the time I got back and peeled off all my cloths my skin was bright red like I had taken a beating. Based on my experience I would definitely recommend the ice picks, don’t go alone if you can avoid it, make sure u know how thick the ice is, and don’t trust some lakes,ponds and rivers have warm springs that create weak areas of ice etc etc I love ice fishing I would go anytime but no one needs to die for it.

[@seviensadventures1674]

Nice!

[@TheShelltrack]

Good video! Why do your sunglass lenses look like one is red and one is blue?

[@logangmiterek]

Where the la salle meets the red good spot Aaron! Any fish?

[@lildavies1140]

Legend 🔥

[@orvillemeek6893]

Excellent presentation on an important topic...I've had all my kids practice saving themselves after breaking through the ice and it is time well spent...they're confident in their ability to save themselves and both my wife and I are more relaxed when they're on the ice...good job!

[@tryn2goprobrozachwebb629]

Lol awesome job...

[@donnaclark873]

Were did you get your ice saw

[@jakejohnson5713]

Just out of curiosity, how many times have you fallen through ice?

[@edobroski]

I am a woman. I have poor upper body strength. I always wear my picks. 👍

[@chrisrobinson5713]

Great video, (except the lady comment you must hate that you said that, lol.) awesome that there is someone speaking against these people that think going through is a death sentence.

[@Pizzamanfish536]

You should tell AP to put the rods on the frostbite site already. I just want to buy one really bad! Take my money damnit!!! lol

[@LaegreidOutdoors]

Srsly. Been watching vids with the rods and they look great; just let me buy one (or two)!

[@Ohbear22]

Take my money also!!!

[@chrisdix1390]

I want to see some ice pit crawl races

[@fishwrld3982]

Now do one from in a car or truck 👍

[@Hogbellylife]

Try it without a float suit most ppl are not going out with all that gear . Just a hoodie , coat & long underwear.

[@Brit_explorer]

Ice pick belly racing..... now there’s an idea !!!

[@OwnLikeANinja]

looks like the red river/assiniboine river? You a winnipeg guy?

[@dalenesbitt]

Definitely not the Forks.

[@tbonechamp]

Did you fish that day on the La salle? Catch anything? How thick was the ice?

[@uncutangling]

We set tipups for a couple hours, no bites, maybe 4-6” of ice.

[@tbonechamp]

@@uncutangling Nice!! I fished there last year in the beginning of March ,after seeing a vid from Big China catching a master walleye there.. No bites or fish for me that day though! Seeing all the holes that were drilled there it looks like it is a popular spot for ice fishing though. Love your videos and Congratulations on your wedding!!

[@bigjohnoutdoors762]

Oh shit Aaron, forgot to hit the record button on the camera could you re run that please?
