This video shares a self-rescue technique that can save your life if you fall through ice. Every situation is different, but this technique is your best chance to get out of thin ice. Remember to perform your rescue in the direction from which you came, where there is thicker ice.

This are the skills every kid (and sadly, most adults as well) should be learning at school.
The capitalist paradigm is so dependent on pooling us into metropolitan areas that skills like these actively threaten it's rule. To the rich, it's better to keep us scared of our natural world and dependent on man-made ways of living, so that we remain inside the system to circulate money up to the 1%
There are aspects of adult life they should learn that they will almost definitely need and school doesn't teach them those things. I'm afraid this skill is even further down their list of what to add to the curriculum of what is already a broken system.
Thank you for this practical demonstration!
Absolutely!
Such an underrated video
Thank you for this Brother, God bless!
🙏✝️
Thanks my friend =)
Never thought of the feet paddle very very very good advice
Good time of year to educate people who couldn’t figure out not to walk on it and people who’ll save those people 🫡
Loved this video, really great advice. Happy trails, brother.
Thanks for sharing. Everyone up here in Alaska is wild ice skating this week. So this is good info to share on self rescue.
Fun! Must be amazing!! We still haven't frozen here in Wisconsin =)
Really well made video! I always think about the lives that may he saved from warching videos like these. Hope you had some backup out there just in case 😅
YES!! THIS!!!!!
Thank you so very much. People can learn all the "right" things to do, but the very first is to breathe and calmly THINK.
May I suggest a small waterproof bag (dry bag) with emergency heat in it? A little fire starting lint/tinder, dry matches (or other fire making tool that you are VERY good at using) and perhaps even some of those air activated heat pads? Something that will fit under jacket or be comfortable to wear any time one is hiking or exploring in icy areas.
When choosing emergency supplies for this, it's really important to remember your fingers will likely be numb and clumsy, and you may be shaking quite a bit. Think of what you'll be able to use if your hands were taped up into curved mitten shape, because that's likely to be the case.
Be adventurous, be educated, be safe. I always tell my kiddo "the ONLY person that will always be with you to help you in any desperate situation ... is YOU."

Great advice all around! And so glad you're sharing that attitude with your child. If you want to see a scenario challenge I did after falling through the ice, check it out!

i never seen anything like this for self rescue where shock response is mentioned and the following. Simple yet comprehensive, thanks.
Absolutely! I'd say "my pleasure", but it wasn't, lol! =)
Thank you for this demonstration! You are hard core!
I feel like you could calmly talk me through ANYTHING life could throw at me!
Huge compliment! Thank you =)
Most important rule: Remain calm. When you panic you can't help yourself and the clock is ticking!
Weight distribution is everything. Crawling on the belly is the best even it is slow, on arms and knees once you got to thicker ice is still better in distribution before getting on both feet if you are really far enough away from the hole.
Danke for the practical demonstration.
thank you for your teach effort for us. have a good day man.
Wow never thought of that method. Thank you sir, you just saved many lives with this video. 😊
I appreciate those words! It's been one of the most rewarding videos I've done, as I hear every year from people who have saved their lives with this technique. I couldn't ask for a better reward!!! =)
Get yourself forward, not up is definitely the center piece to retain here, I bet too many people just break more ice and get nowhere while panicking...
Good to know on my next Antarctica expedition, thanks 👍
Wow that’s really good advice
Very good info.
Ah yes! I remember the "retro" Rewild video days of old. Aloha
Indeed! Thought I should start posting this annually about this time to spread the skill . . . =)
It’s great info! I have only walked on ice one time I. My life, as I live in Florida. But in case I go up north on vacation, now I know 😂
This is awesome. Thank you!
Thanks Friend! You've had me researching Vancouver Island over the last day -- the more I see, the more amazing it looks! As you said in another comment, what a place to be grateful for!!
Thank you for the advice!! I’ll keep it in mind for my next hikes
that is damn impressive!
Very nice
Great video!
Thanks, that is quite some dedication for a short!
Thanks! It's actually cut from a longer video I did:

This is just a clip from a longer video. The original was posted a year ago and the link is up top.
As someone who lives on the water, here is some great advice that I hope I never have to test out myself! (But if I *do*, I'll be ready!)
Agreed -- may you never need! =)
Great vid. I lived in Detroit and the lake we were on Lake St Clair had a bit of a current. Might have saved a few people withis vid didn't know that about kicking.
That was cool.
Thanks!!
Much easier to relax if you can stand on the bottom
This was actually deeper than I am tall, but if you spread your arms as you are falling you'll usually prevent yourself from going in fully.
Oh man. I think this was the first video of your that I discovered a few years back. Your videos are what has motivated me to get back out in the woods and have adventures again. This was very nostalgic to see thank you for bringing it back this is great information.
Your words totally made my day! That's my primary goal -- to get people outdoors. Thanks for sharing this. You should see my smile right now =)
"Such an underrated video" it is more than just underrated. just 6k views =(
My friend, thanks for your words. This has been used by many people on different platforms and gotten tons of views -- a few times even being top post on reddit. My only real concern is that it gets out there and can save lives, but I SO appreciate people like you who ask before using it. Thank you!!
Absolute unit! Lol
Good job. I could not do that voluntarily. Brrrrrrrr
I used to go into the water in Feb off Virginia Beach and that water was too cold for too long no matter how fast you swam. I was thinner then so I didn't have any blubber to keep in the warmth
I moved to Hawaii
Lol! We did that too a few years back -- but then we missed winter =)
Oh my goodness! When will you ever learn to stay off thin ice?
Telling myself that this was probably a clip from the more detailed video mentioned in the comments. Very good advice but I would probably lose it at the point of trying to relax when I'm cold and probably also scared since I'm not that much of a water lover to begin with!
Yes indeed -- didn't freeze here yet, though we did get a few flakes of snow today! Any for you?
@@ReWildUniversity no snow here yet.
Thanks! I've never seen the proper way to self rescue. Of course I live in Texas. But you never know when we'll have another "snowpocalypse".
Wow, I remember that! Snow in Texas. How crazy is that?
@@ReWildUniversity We do have snow more than you would think but we don't have Sub-Zero temperatures hardly at all. I had to re-plumb my entire house.
That sucks. I hope you have more seasonable weather in future winters =)
Or just never walk on thin ice 🤯
Always a good idea! =)
