People in northern climes do really stupid things to fight cabin fever. To wit: pedaling a fatbike to a frozen lake.

What was the one thing I took from this you asked, you like fishing a helluva lot better than I do. Lol
So this is what Les Stroud did after Survivorman!
Something I was taught, tho have yet to use, when crossing a frozen lake you're not sure about:
Two dowels/broom handle sections about five inches long.
Attach them to either end of a piece of twine (or paracord or w/e) that's a little longer than you are tall.
Insert a nail or other pointy thing into the dowel securely, with the pointy end facing outward.
Now run the contraption through your coat sleeves and around your back/shoulders, so that the dowels hang out from your cuffs on a little bite of twine.
Now you have undroppable ice picks at the ready in case you go in, allowing you to get enough traction to hopefully haul yourself out.
Ive always wanted to go ice fishing! Ive worked, hunted and fished all over the US and done most everything but ice fishing.
Seeing the, fuck-all, im over it.
Wow. Things that are rewarding are seldom fun, things that are fun are seldom rewarding. I've never heard that before but man thats good
When it warms up can we all come up for a steak ans beer bbq?
When I see videos like this I start to think that they should have got AVE to voice the guy in The Long Dark video game…
Best fishing trip I've ever had was with my dad who had a buddy with a cabin in BC – skookumchuck was the name of the place . We all had our limit of big beautiful trout within an hour or two . Just wow
You can adapt the hand auger to a Millfawkee..
Next time just have Baby doll buy some pork chops lol
Ice fishing. Two words that don't belong together. I go store fishing and I'm fucking exhausted. I surely am not the first human to figure this out. I've spent enough time at sea to realize it is more economical to pay the iron price.
Next time you may want to film it then narrate it is easier to breathe when you're in doors LOL
Maybe just maybe its time to put the bike away and get out the snow-crawler…….Just sayin.
Everyone should do a polar bear swim at least once in their life. If not for the fun of it, just to have the experience and learn how to react to the sub-zero water temps.
I've done 2… so far… but I'm also slightly retarded
Narrator- "Uncle Bumblefuck ventured out in search of sustenance into the unforgiving BC wilderness, a land not fit for man or beast. His GoPro recording ending with him standing on a questionable lake, far from home, with the frigid Canadian night falling. It is up to you dear viewer to decide if he ever caught a fish, or even managed to return home to edit and post his adventure. Did he make a meal or become one?"
