How thick is the ice on the lake Baikal

[@andrewpestotnik5495]

See y'all in 4 years when this pops up in your reccomended Edit: Anakin: What have I done? 😂😂😂😂

[@MaxwellBenson80]

I'll see you now.

[@prilep5]

It’s been 3years

[@HourRomanticist]

3, but close enough.

[@betnav1288]

3 lol

[@b.l.5437]

Only took 3 years, jokes on you 😂 (sarcasm off course)

[@t-bonejones3576]

Here in Canada, the northern residents often have to use 3 foot extension sections between the handle and drill sections. It is common to have 5 or 6 feet of ice. Siberia is cold but is still more south than 1/3 of Canada!

[@HakuryuuSimp]

So, how the big and deep are lakes in canada? Here is yakutsk we have -50°C as normal weather, not cold.

[@t-bonejones3576]

@HakuryuuSimp Canada has the most lakes of any country in the world. Of course, the more north you go, the thicker the ice. Canada reaches farther north than Siberia does, and the northern most communities are as cold as Yakutsk. -50C is normal in those villages. Also, there is a fair bit of Canada north of these places where no one lives at all. No one is sure how cold it gets there

[@t-bonejones3576]

@HakuryuuSimp I live on the west coast of Canada. Here we grow kiwi fruit, lemons, and palm trees, so it's not really cold. Have had only 2 nights with frost so far this season. It hit -1C. 5 years ago on this island (Vancouver Island) it hit +50 during summer for a few hours at a friends place. Not all of Canada is very cold ! I think the northernmost point of Canada is just as far from here as Yakutsk is! Like Russia, Canada is huge

[@benguensche]

Gets much colder in siberia though

[@firstlast476]

didnt know ice thickness was a sense of pride for anyone.

[@mkogrady6078]

Answer.... pretty thick.

[@Mental_Illboy]

Just like the girl.

[@okamijubei]

Safe enough to ice skate

How good is that drill. Not even a motorized and drilled through the ice like butter.

[@0ompaLoompa]

Ice is actually pretty soft.

[@BrianM-44041]

Looks like about 2 ft thick. You can drive on that. Nice for ice fishing 🎣

[@Mattessj]

More like 3 🤣

[@BrianM-44041]

@Mattessj I would fish there that isn't insurmountable

[@LESLASLESLAS]

No shit you can drive on that. You could drive a fully loaded semi on that.

[@BrianM-44041]

@@LESLASLESLAS you can walk on 3 to ten inches, but I prefer a foot thick to feel safe. Driving a vehicle it better be more than a foot or you could lose your vehicle. A semi fully loaded would need 2 to 4 ft thick ice, which is the case here apparently. It's not obvious to people who aren't familiar with frozen bodies of water. I was simply stating that's it's more than sufficient to fish on. You don't have to be rude.

[@julioperez-delgadojr2976]

I wish I was there. Such a cool frozen lake.

[@Ahmadabdal_]

That's pretty cool Is the entire lake frozen or just the coast?

[@felixgodin3244]

All the lake is like this. Temperature average is -30°c in winter.

[@TriremeBoy]

​@@felixgodin3244 What the hell. I live in a tropical country and that cold would've killed me 😮

[@DaDaDo661]

​@@TriremeBoyit's not that bad if you dress properly for it. You should still limit your outside time to 20-30 minutes and don't have any exposed skin

[@DmitryT-f7s]

@@DaDaDo661time limit can be waay over 30mins if you dress properly, also you may leave your face uncovered if you want. The most important parts of the body that need to be taken care of are feet and hands (fingers mostly).

[@0ompaLoompa]

Just don't wear cotton.Cotton is really bad when it's that cold.

[@Fishhunter2014]

Those are some nice auger blades

As thick as a brick, Jethro

Lake Baykal has more water in it than ALL the Great Lakes combined. And it is ALL FRESHWATER. What is a real treasure If not this?

[@banzaiib]

Ok.

I am subscriber 22 and I also likeice fishing 🎣

[@20121961]

Glad she didn't drop her phone down the hole.

[@alcoholfueledgaming9431]

Looks cold.

[@PoutinePete]

They need to get boot grips so they don't slip on the ice.

[@thehammurabichode7994]

How don't they slip?? I've known people who've gotten terribly injured just from entering or exiting (a place/vehicle) in Canada.

[@DaDaDo661]

It's different if you know you are on ice. If you don't expect it, then that's when you slip. It's easy to walk on ice

[@carlantaya175]

It's most slippery when it's mixture of water and ice. As the temperature gets colder the ice becomes harder it starts to gain some friction.

[@albertofranco6122]

Really good winter boots also help

[@ozchalupkova4688]

they are drunk... so it cancels out

[@remi009340]

As stupid as it sounds you just have to walk with your weight forward a little like a penguin. Crampons help too.

[@BertPle]

Why is the video mirrored?

[@salchst]

What do you see that indicates that?

[@BertPle]

@ The drill turns counter clockwise to drill a hole 😉

[@salchst]

@@BertPle I saw that. I guess it would be rare to see a left handed drill.

[@BertPle]

@ Turning counter clockwise to drill is very rare indeed.

[@chanhmilner2670]

Where are you ice cleats?

[@Vishwesh-S680]

Netflix and Chill 💀

[@firstlast476]

i could bring my date onto that ice. 💪

[@michaelboykin9881]

To each his own, but I'll stay here in Florida and keep fishing the rivers lakes and Gulf.

[@projectisaac]

We all gotta do the balancing act, hehe. Up in MN the prospect of hurricanes and no white Xmas spooks me, lol. But I have to contend with the cold and long winters. Nothing like this, though!!! That screams "way north" to me

[@dot7107]

I would like to be there. So smooth ice surface

[@oscar4058]

Wow that's some fucking thick ice lol

[@LeeSeoungSu]

와.... 도대체 얼마나 존나게 추워야 얼음이 저렇게 두껍게 얼 수가 있냐😅😅😅

[@joso5554]

I’d say it’s thick enough !!

[@chazbenningfield3743]

If water starts coming out of that hole, that means to get off the ice fast.

[@MrT------5743]

Not really, sometimes there is pressure on the water and once there is a whole, it will flow out. That ice being 3 feet thick could be driven on with a semi.

[@judsonindustries8044]

Snow cones

[@harsh90868]

😮😮

[@dasheight203]

Thick enough

[@tommajor1013]

not thick enough 😬

[@MrT------5743]

Plenty thick enough for a semi.

[@Mental_Illboy]

CCCP ❤

[@frankeppenridge2027]

Not real smart not wearing ice cleats. Slipping and sliding all over the place. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MrT------5743]

It's not hard to walk on ice without cleats.

[@frankeppenridge2027]

@ You’re not very observant. They were having a hard time doing just that.

[@MrT------5743]

@frankeppenridge2027 one fell. So say that again! And i was speaking for myself anyway. It's not hard to walk on ice without cleats. Duh Just had an inch of ice last week, and there were no issues all for me walking on it.

[@frankeppenridge2027]

@@MrT------5743 I will say that again fool. They were sliding all over.
