How loggers survive the cold 🥶

[@illiniwood]

One day, when the young boy is old and gray he will reminisce with his grandchildren of this very day at the frozen creek enduring the cold water with his big sister. These are the memories that last a lifetime.

[@Urbicide]

He kind of looks like a very young Gary Busey.

it sounds like likea poem from long ago.if you know the author i would appreciate to know. i tried to clone a poem that was written by a british poet and bumbled to clone it but failed and i got caught and the law won. i was embarrassed be cause of being caught for doing a one and a billion chance of being caught but i got caught fair and square. and i thought i would forget by the day i retired not likely. i am forced to be in a nursing home so my sisters can steel my hard earned worked for honesty.money and sound investments later dinner time

emerald congratulations with setting a goal and attaining that goal. if you like this suggestion turn it to a goal. the idea that is across the internet with regard to firewood sales. one is selling dry or kiln dried firewood if you put it in small bundle your value added goes ups and soes your profit. m

You guys be careful breaking that ice with hatchets, your feet are so close, maybe you should get on your knees before you start to shop at the ice.

I'm glad you are sharing. You are showing us all how much potential and power we have over our bodies and mind.

I am Texas and I got shivers down my spine watching you take your shoes off.

[@chriswhite2151]

Wow, I was not expecting that! I wouldn't even have made it to the creek!. Good on you for pushing yourselves, going beyond what most would dare to do.

[@UtmostOutdoors]

Excellent presentation of the Wim Hof method! You two are definitely walking the walk with your cold exposure training! I've been doing the cold thing for a few years now myself, and I'm always surprised how difficult it it to get back into after the summer is over! Seriously impressive standing around for so long in bare feet while cutting away the ice! Keep up the good work and best of luck with growing your KZbin channel!

[@FFLFFS]

Agreed. I’ve been doing it for 6 mo. Pushing back the fake warm “comfort zone” is alway a challenge. The health benefits outweighs it by a long shot.

[@erikpierce5120]

WOW! Starting young. You are already having amazing lives. I am inspired by you both. Your futures are truly limitless.

[@Ineptsmeagol]

Lots of respect for you guys. It takes quite a bit of physical and mental strength to do that hats off to you!.... BTW love the channel keep the vids coming!!

[@johnchapman3646]

I love to see you and your family doing things. This looks great .I have respect for your little brother.x

[@FFLFFS]

Nice to see young people discovering this. This hot summer triggered me to adapt to my environment With cold showers. With the same mindset I continued my "therapy" into fall. There is something compelling about mastering the elements and having your body picking up the pace by adapting your metabolism to match. To anyone : start young, I've always enjoyed cold weather living north of the 53rd (im60+++young lol) but with Wim Hof method it's way easier. Knowing then what I know now I'd never let this opportunity pass by.

[@jeffd1919]

I don't quite go to this extreme, but I do enjoy finishing each shower with only cold water for the count of 100. So invigorating. Makes me think of how happy my Border Collie is to plunge into cold water and blow bubbles with her nose. You can tell she loves it. Such a smile on her face.

[@oby-1607]

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@tvviewer4500 Food for thought...hmmmm

[@larrylund2682]

I had weak ankles made evident by multiple sprains in football and basketball. The solution by coach was a 5 gallon bucket of ice water. That was really hard. I sort of got used to it. I had to learn to control the breath at first plunge. This helped me heal much faster. It also took much of the pain away too. Living in the great white north doesn't have to be so painful if you learn how to be better at it. My dad hardly ever shivered. Mom never stopped when temperatures dropped into the 40's. She was from Florida. Dad grew up in Minnesota, as did I. It is mental toughness that makes the difference.

[@mannysan6039]

Coming from sweden, I can relate. It is well known here that cold activates many beneficial things in your body that you would otherwise never trigger. Even as kids, my parents would always encourage to shower with cold water after a hot shower for 10-20 sec to build up the resistance to cold and activate your hidden core functions. Its a fantastic and natural way to increase everything in your body, including burning of toxic fat. I love that you bring this into the light in your channel.

[@sethlinerode1047]

I am curious how do you guys incorporate sauna with cold water training I have access to both but never got any straight answers

Worked at a sawmill in Northern Maine in 1988. The warmest day in Dec was -35. A couple days we could not work because the diesel in the log loader was frozen.

[@archael18]

That's an extreme exaggeration. It doesn't even get near that cold on average here and I'm way north. You can easily find historical weather data for Maine in Dec 1988 and it's nowhere close to what you say. Perhaps you meant the "coldest" day was -35? That would make a lot more sense.

[@caseykelso1]

That was amazing 🎉. Im going to read up on this.

WOW!! I live in Texas and complain when the temp gets in the 40’s. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it.

[@ronin2963]

My Husky (Silk) would love this. She loves running in the snow. I love watching her run from the warmth of my fireplace, with a cup of warm cider. Did you know that -10F is exactly the same temperature as -10C. You see when it is that cold metric and english systems align. Plus water saps body heat 25% faster.

[@ceselb]

-40 is equal in both c and f. -10f is -23.3c and -10c is 14f.

[@archael18]

Also, the thermal conductivity of water is 24x higher than air. So that is 2400%, not 25%.

[@pmarx4847]

Wow all I can say wow! You are a very brave young lady 😮

[@winterradicallds8353]

Life in cold water is the best when I was younger I joined the Polar Bear Club and it took me some time to get used to the cold but know its great I live off grid just of the Skykomish river in Baring Wa, and every 3 days I go and take a bath in the river right through winter everyone ups here thinks im crazy well....mybe I am but I love it and yes it is so healthy for you and its unbelievable how the human body can adapt to cold weather you just have to do it over come it and Love it, thanks for your videos I enjoy them a lot.

[@williamgibb5557]

I don’t mind the plunge when I am having a wood fired sauna! Well done!

[@SuperRistopaha]

We do this in Finland, we cut the hole in the ice with a chain saw and we use the sauna. We use wool socks and some use a wool hat. When you come out you feel warm...

[@stevenherd9799]

Does wool socks would I have to go all the way up to my neck and the hat would it have to go all the way down to my ankles

[@jofo1736]

BosSman, a chainsaw or AX ? Or a boxed /covered "trench" for no ice covered top ? Both swinging axes looks scary !!# love...

[@diverdave4056]

the best way to feel warmer faster when you get into the cold water ...is take long deep breaths of air and hold it for a moment and then blow out slowly ! I swim long distance of a mile or more in Lake Michigan during the winters wearing a 3mm wetsuit and I also swam with the Penguins in Antarctica wearing my swimming suit .

[@warrenchang7181]

Does Jade do this too? Or does she just hold the phone cam? Emmy you are really tough.

[@roostercogburn809]

Nice cold plunge. After lifting weights, we'd hit the steam bath for a good sweat, quick fresh water rinse, then 2 minutes in cold plunge, pretty exhilarating...

I put a chemical porta potty in the bathroom so my daughter didn't have to go to the toilet that was in the laundry of my small cottage as it was quite cold in winter in the laundry area. Maybe that's where I went wrong lol

I Rember my grandfather doing this as a child in a creek behind the farmhouse. Now it makes sense to me. He never spoke of it he just did it. A shame we as children never experienced it.

Ya know, I was just thinking how nice it was while was out cleaning off the van so my wife could go to work probably 10° F, but knowing grandpa Larry I've begun to believe a lot of his stories, well I never doubted them to start with.

[@PenDragonsPig-Jam_on_Top]

How could you not like these peeps?

[@archael18]

I started doing this 4 years ago to help negate my passionate hatred for the cold. It turned my hate into a passion. I don't do the breathing but take every opportunity to do the "ice man", as I call it. I can honestly say now that there is no winter cold, even up here in canada, that has made me shiver in these last 4 years. There is also no way that any unheated pool water gets cold enough in the year to even challenge me so I can swim in an unheated pool from april to november easily. I don't do the Wim Hof breathing technique but I do controlled slow breaths on first impact to get accustomed to extreme cold. Once that's over, it's almost meditative and more satisfying than a long workout. I highly recommend this to anyone but especially people who are faced with cold conditions often because it's even more useful for them.

[@joem5643]

It’s not just to help deal with the cold, there are tons of health benefits from doing this breathing and cold exposure. Watch a few Wim Hof interviews on KZbin, it will blow you away at what this man can do by using these techniques. The man is a living legend, and he has also taught these techniques to many people, allowing them to do amazing things as well.

cold water, definitely my kryptonite. I wouldn't say it changed my body any, but after one summer I definitely got used to it...for one year. I had a rule that every time I hiked to a lake, which was usually twice a week, I had to swim in it, total submersion. By the end of summer I never even turned the hot water tap on in my showers. You are very brave! well done
