#ColdWaterChallenge

[@wackyswanderings3627]

crazy man I shivered just watching. All, apart from tip of little fingers, is saying "NOPE!!!!" You crazy, crazy man. Well done.

[@JRPOutdoors]

It is a tad daunting at first, I can relate but even trying a cold shower is a good start 👍🏼

[@WyeExplorer]

Far out John. Loving the cold water chi mate. All credit to you the challenges are being overcome. All in the mind. Awesome. Mark

[@JRPOutdoors]

Loving it Mark! Still a shock to the system when I first go in but breathing is certainly the key to staying in for longer!

[@WyeExplorer]

@@JRPOutdoors Good that you come out with some breathe inside you. Ha ha! Peace dude.

[@TheNottmLass]

Ay-up! Finally got around to checking your channel out! OMG what a challenge!! I don't think I could do this. Body would go into shock or something D: Great video!! x

[@JRPOutdoors]

Ayy up! Cheers for having a look :D Well it was Jonathon from My 24 hour adventure that actually said I should tag you and get you to give it a go, so I think you should definitely consider it :D There is a bit of shock at first but 30 seconds will fly by! The perfect opportunity to just give it a try :)

[@petedevon]

Popped over and subscribed. Great chat last night with the 3 of you all bringing something different to the table regarding camping experiences with added humour. Cheers will be catching up on your films over the weekend ATB

[@JRPOutdoors]

Hey Pete mate, welcome! Had a great laugh last night, it was nice and relaxed 👌🏼 Enjoy the videos pal 👍🏼👍🏼 have a good weekend. John

[@backpacksandbruises]

Haha that warm up is epic! Love this challenge, will definitely try and do this on one of our outings 👍👍 well one of us will anyhow 😂😆

[@JRPOutdoors]

Very much looking forward to seeing the results 😎 you also need to do the warm up of course 😆

[@My24hradventure]

Well over 30 seconds there! Good job. I was down by the coast yesterday and fully intended to take the plunge. But I chickened out. The tide was too far out and it felt like too big a challenge with strong currents etc. But I like the bath idea - maybe I'll give that a go 😊

[@JRPOutdoors]

Safety first for sure man! It's a wall you have to break down for sure the first time you do it but if you focus on breathing and get past the first initial shock, 30 seconds will breeze by! You've got this man!

[@Abspro50]

I've been wanting to try this for ages but haven't had the guts to. We're up at Lady Bower quite often as we only live in Leeds so wild camping is something we'll be doing there. Good on you! 👍

[@JRPOutdoors]

This might be the perfect opportunity to give it a go then! :) If it's your first time wild swimming you could also try it in the summer first. Let me know how your wild camps go!

[@Abspro50]

@@JRPOutdoors will keep you posted! Thank you for the kind advice. We're popping back up there tomorrow to find a good spot 🙂

[@jay3825]

Brilliant mate .....mind over matter ....great horse riding stance lol 😀 might brave it NOT ha ha peace 🙏✌

[@Shaun-Wilson]

Fair play, you made it look easy mate 😂 I've just done mine today.... Wow is all I can say haha

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

You have got more chance of winning the lottery than seeing me do that 😂😂😂😂 well done John good challenge mate atvb jimmy 😎😎

[@JRPOutdoors]

Thats all good Jimmy mate 😆 hope you’re good man 👍🏼

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Amazing effort! I did a wild swim at Scales Tarn, underneath Blencathra 2 years ago, which was absolutely Baltic and that was on a hot day, in mid summer, I do not know how you do it! I get the warming up when you come out but warming up before you go in - will that not make it worse when you first go in? Cheers Alan

[@JRPOutdoors]

Hey Alan 👍🏼 I felt like this too before I started but the benefits after are too bloody good to stop. The warm up before helps keep your core temperature high as when you hit the cold water, your body naturally keeps the warm blood at your core. I’v found doing it helps me reduce the shock along with controlled breathing. Clever stuff. Check out Wim Hoff and his techniques 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ggff5580]

Awesome man! I'm going to Finland next week... Should I try? I'm not that brave! Lol

[@JRPOutdoors]

1000% give it a go! At the end of the day, it's only 30 seconds. You'll then see after that if you like it or not and get a prestigious sticker for doing so 😉

[@dongdipperadventures6565]

Quality!! Would of loved it if you'd have fallen in again 🤣🤣👍

[@JRPOutdoors]

Ah man I was so close to stacking it then haha! Would have been criminal not to keep it in the video! :P Cheers for watching again matey

Good work mate.... 🤙🏽 been taking cold garden showers for the past 9 months... amazing feeling hey 🥶 👌🏽. Oh and I did an overnighter in the cave Wednesday night 👍🏽

[@JRPOutdoors]

Amazing mate! If only I had experienced all this a while back. definitely something ill be keeping up. How did you find the cave camp man? Did you film it?

[@WoodsmanocD86]

Hats off to you John but sorry mate you can keep your badge buddy, not a chance am I don’t that 😂. Cheers pal 👍

[@JRPOutdoors]

😂😂 fair enough mate!

[@benhikescamps]

MAJOR RESPECT to you John for doing this! Just don't think I"ve got the guts to do it!

[@JRPOutdoors]

Cheers man! Perhaps try a bit of wild swimming in summer and then build to it next November/December time?

[@Abspro50]

Out of interest, I wanted to do the cold water swimming in Sandsend near Whitby. Do you think CW swimming in the sea works well?

[@JRPOutdoors]

As long as the sea isn't too rough, swimming in the sea is great! It also tends to be a couple of degrees warmer than rivers and fresh water pools. Give it a go eh!

[@Abspro50]

@@JRPOutdoors Cheers mate, definitely going to give this a go. Really excited!

Can I do longer.... how about in the sea

[@JRPOutdoors]

Do it man! 😆😆

[@clarissavaida4058]

Can you tell us a few of the benefits you’ve noticed from your exposure to cold water?

[@JRPOutdoors]

The main benefit I’v felt is how positive you feel afterwards and it can last for days! If you do it on a regular basis it can boost your immune system, help with muscle recovery & boost your metabolism. Plus bettering your mental health overall. 👌🏼🕺🏼

[@BurtonOutdoors]

Totally and utterly bat sh1t crazy dude 😂🤣 BIG UP to ya, hope it goes well... so pleased you didn't tag me!!
