SOLO CAMPING on an ICEBERG!

[@catherinegoldie6724]

Talk about risk taking, you fear nothing do you, you are an Amazing adventurer.

[@TravelersTale]

Appreciate it!

[@oxygensun6403]

You underestimated the risk, when camping on that iceberg. I have spent many years in the Arctic watching them, not just roll, without warning, but also collapsing in the middle, or have large chunks falling off. This happens much more frequently, than you suggest in the video, especially during the summer. That berg could have rolled as soon as you set foot on it, or one hour later, or five, you just can’t tell, in advance. What often happens, is that it it is slowly melting on one side, more than the other. It then rolls into a new stable position, very suddenly, and without warning. This means that your tent becomes a death trap. Even just standing on it, near the edge is more risky than it appears. There are often underwater, horizontal "shelves", extending some distance out from the berg, These can be, far enough below the surface, so that you can't see them from the water surface. When the berg rolls, even though you might be in your kayak near the berg, and not on it, you will be caught up on that hidden ice shelf, and trapped underwater, unable to escape. I’m saying this for the safety of other watchers, who might be tempted to follow your example, thinking the risk is much lower than it really is.

[@arianaholiccc]

this is very helpful. Tanks a bunch!

[@dancingtrout6719]

or a ship can hit it that doesnt have enough Life Boats\\🤣

[@Dirlewanger.]

Shut up Karen. People will live their lives regardless if YOU don't like it. No one cares. Stay in your bubble and let people live.

[@Bluebloods7]

I love that you're brutally honest with yourself; knowing the risks you're taking and weighing the rewards, without being totally irresponsible and throwing all caution to the wind. Could the worst still happen even if only because of sheer bad luck? Yes, but you've clearly decided that the rewards are worth those risks.

[@TravelersTale]

Exactly. To be honest, the odds of something terrible happening in one night are relatively low but never 0.

[@insaynbcr]

Risk for reward is one thing (and I am guilty of such as well). However, when I take these risks, I also take into consideration "will I be putting someone elses life at risk as well if something goes south real quick"? Relying on the Coast Guard as a fail safe without removing as many risk factors as possible can be deemed selfish. I did not see a PFD, but it is possible to wear an inflatable under a loose jacket. Then there is dressing appropriately for the water temperature, not the air temperature. In the event of a kayak capsize event. Without a PFD, very slim chance of finding a flipped over kayak paddler. In 45-60°F water, you have very few attempts to get back into a kayak before extremities are useless regardless of how awesome of a swimmer or shape you are in. Water that is right up against freezing, your time to reboard a kayak is reduced to a handful of seconds. Everyone's adventure (including my own) should take other folks lives into consideration. I am so glad we are able to see this adventure from the traveler himself, and not from the news.

[@WeAreLegion-]

He "woke up" in the exact same spot. I almost doubt he even slept there overnight looked like a shader to me. What a tool.

[@Bluebloods7]

@@WeAreLegion- you're so upset 😢

[@RunRun458]

Wait a minute I'm not stupid and I'm a critical thinker. If all the water around a so called iceberg is running how did the " iceberg " come to be in the first place? How can ice form on top of running water if the temperature is higher than the "iceberg " , the temperature of the water would melt the ice. The whole body of water would have to be ice even then you wouldn't have big giant ice mountains jump on top of the water like that,,,,,how did that happen? And how long has the so called iceberg been there 🤔 ? They got busted this is CGI icebergs don't exist prove me wrong I DARE YOU!

[@Overcomer-do1mr]

2 things are unimaginable here, for us in Africa, especially South Africa: 1. Seeing midnight like this 2. Standing on iceberg and sleep there You took us on a wonderful trip today. God bless you

[@justinblanche4425]

Now I want to braai there. Actually South Africans want to Braai everywhere

[@RapidGW]

Man I spent 30 years around the glaciers of Southeast Alaska. I can't tell you how many icebergs I've seen roll. One rolled near the Mendenhall Glacier and two people drowned, and I've seen others roll all over SE Alaska. Camping on an iceberg is a really bad idea. Now camping on a glacier, now that is a different story - highly recommend if you have some trining.

[@kemhughes5895]

That is so scary…

[@TravelersTale]

I’ve done both now…even though it’s sketchy, iceberg camping takes the cake.

[@Chillaxing113]

Ok, now you've done it, survived, and most of all you enjoyed it and made memories to last a lifetime. You've definitely got bragging rights now. Enjoy it! Just don't do it again. 😁 AND most of all thank you for sharing it with us.

[@tanyars3399]

I was thinking the same thing, icebergs are very unpredictable.

[@thomasrobinson117]

I’m so glad you fulfilled your life long dream of camping on an iceberg. But you’ve got a lot of living to do so I’m anticipating many more adventure videos. Your bravery to do these adventures is admirable but I’m sure your parents must worry constantly. Thank you for sharing not only the fun exploration aspects, but also you vast knowledge of the outdoors. Amazing!!

[@MariaWelsh-lu6fg]

Aaw! Im so glad you got to experience your life long dream. I was on the edge of my seat though. Getting in and out of the kayak without puncturing holes in it, that crazy sonic boom, finding out your glacier floated while you slept! This trip was insane but to see those beautiful blue ice caves was just everything. Cant wait to watch the next video! Stay safe please!💜🙏🏼

[@user-ij6xs4ut7j]

Beautiful as it is, I would recommend being a little more careful. Not the brightest idea. One dip in the water and game over more than likely.

[@m-bronte]

This was amazing and crazy at the same time, I think safety was not important here. lol! The camera shake captured the sonic boom, wow! I'm sure booms like that trigger glacier tippings

[@TravelersTale]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AndyLaskey]

Most serene place that ive ever seen. Am i right in thinking that any iceberg can flip over? Hence campjng on one could be quite scary. Great video and thank you for sharing your adventures.

Beautiful scenery in Alaska. Those Ice burgs are stunning. However, what I learned from ice burns in Nfld. THEY can flip over at anytime. I've never seen anyone brave enough to camp on one. But, I see you made it. Just getting in and out of the kayake takes skill. Thanks for taking us along your adventure.

That blast from a glacier calving was awesome! The most important part of experiencing the world is staying safe. Please stay safe. BTW, sleeping with a bunch of Kodiak bears on Kodiak Island wouldn't be a good idea either. Especially if you wanted to cook a big bacon breakfast in your Ford Transit van. (the bears in our area LOVE bacon). Thanks for all the videos and sharing them.
