I never thought I'd leave one of these cheesy comments. My Mom and I have been watching you for a few years, Mom found you guys and had me follow too. Mom had 4 heart stints put in on Dec 23rd and 24th and came home on the 27th. Celebrated her 80th Birthday on Jan 2nd. We watched the episode last Sunday morning and talked about travel during the episode over coffee and cherry turnovers. I was out running errands when she began suffering a heart attack, her stints became blocked by blood clots. She passed away in the ER after that. I Just wanted you to know that She loved watching your adventures and the things she had wanted to do. I had been full timing in my RV for a few years b4, and stopped to be with her. She did get to go one a 2 week trip with me in the spring of 2023. Thanks for having such a great channel and delivery of your quality content. Watching this episode a bit choked up, but I'm so glad that you're out there, and letting folks go along on your Journey. Dave
So sorry Dave! I love this channel and so very glad u had that time with your mom. I hope you remember those times fondly when it gets hard. And btw there's nothing cheesy about your post...of all things love is the greatest...this is indeed the most epic channel! I love it too. Hugs fellow adventurer.😊
I'm so sorry for your loss, grieving is hard and painful. I had the same experience (different channel) when my Dad was at the end of his life-the memories almost 8 years later are so wonderful to have! So thankful that these channels exist created by kind, thoughtful, inspiring folks who are living their lives and allowing us to come along.
Dear Dave. Thank you for sharing your comment. It certainly is not cheesy. Your Mom sounds like she was a wonderful person and we are so sorry for your loss. We are so happy that she enjoyed our channel. Hearing stories like this gives us meaning and purpose to keep going. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Wow that was a heart pounding video. Pete definitely lived through a miracle of God. Glad he is safe and the family is back together again. Congratulations on the fan boat. God Bless
Oh my word, Angels were looking out for you all! Who would have thought the ice had not thickened enough! So glad you now have the airboat ! I think that will be one of your best purchases! So glad you are okay Pete! 🙏
I was watching and thought that looks like water. Then when I heard Pete went in and y’all talking about it I had tears running for y’all. I love “our” walks Carol. Your willingness to share your feelings and take us on your journeys is so impactful. Pete I’m so glad you’re ok! God is great and he has blessed you and your family!
Pete so happy you are safe. I was in tears when you hugged your wife. I am soooo happy you got the fan boat now. Wish you and your family God's blessings. With the fan boat it will make your travels much easier for you guys.Keep warm and looking forward to your next video.
The dream! 😭 So glad Pete was alert and prepared! God is good! Carol, how were you so calm!? I think it was shock, then you had to wait to see Pete and hold him tight!! It can happen to anyone, even the prepared! Thankful Pete had calmness. Must've been his firefighter days kicking in! A friend went in the ice on a Men's church retreat years ago. I don't think he understood the gravity of it all. GRATEFUL. SO VERY GRATEFUL PETE LIVES TO TELL THE STORY. Grateful Pete Jr. didn't have issues on the ice.
From Ottawa: We are so thankful that you are okay Pete. That dream was a warning which combined with your cool head and expertise saved you. To the rest of your family, I am so glad that your husband and father is okay. You were all being watched over, protected and guided. We have property elsewhere on a lake and when we bought it, the previous owner told us that no one ever walks or ice fishes there as it is a deceptive lake that remains too dangerous all winter. Take care 🙏🙏
What an emotional video!! My heart is still pounding and I want to jump for praise and worship for our Heavenly Father's love and protective on Pete and Pete Jr. Carol, thank you for sharing even with teary eyes. I wanted to hug you so badly. What a lesson of Faith and the importance of safety with preparedness. Next time Pete dreams disaster, please heed the warning! ❤❤ Glad y'all have the Fan Boat and y'all are practicing to use it. Carol, will you try driving it too? Take care, love well and blessings to y'all❤🙏
Kudos to Pete Sr. for being safety-conscious and when so severely tested was strong enough to pull himself from the icy water. I'd still be shaking, from the cold and the close call. Until a couple years ago when you all got those flotation suits, I didn't know they existed. Safety and preparedness has been a consistent message in EFRT videos, thank you!
Wow what a show this was! My partner was just getting his snow gear together and his snow dog warming up to go fishing when your show started playing. Needless to saw we were stuck to the tv till the end. Glad everyone is safe and that’s all that matters. But thanks for the heads up with your snow dog and getting out onto ice. 🎉
So glad he's safe. Safety is absolute. Good on him on having the flotation suit and ice picks. The flotation suit looks amazing. And the fan boat will be a game changer for your family
I love your channel. You have such a beautiful family. I was so scared for you when that ice broke. Thank goodness you had the right gear and the angels of protection were there for you. Your family is living such a wonderful life. I lost my husband in 2008 , he was only 54. I wish so much we could be traveling like you are now that I am retired. Family is everything and you already know that. It is so lovely to see how close you all are. God bless and be careful.
2:12 I just finished watching your latest video and I can tell you it was an amazing, exciting and frightening watch today and I'm so glad that you were looked after and that you have the airboat now so that that won't be a problem. Take care, love watching all the stuff you're doing. Truly, Canadian wonderful!
My stomach was in my throat watching this episode. I'm sooo thankful and happy that Pete is ok and it wasn't worse. God bless you !! We love watching you and your family and Just praise God y'all are safe and together!!! Love the new fan boat and super happy You finally got one. Can't wait to watch the next episode. Until then Stay safe, Stay warm and never lose your smile 😊❤
The RESCUE SUIT COMPANY and the Ice Pick company BETTER GIVE YOU SPONSORSHIP NOW!!!!!! What a TESTIMONIAL!!!!! Thank GOD you had your wits about you to do the training you guys have been PREACHING to us!!! AWESOME JOB PETE!!!
Thank the Lord that Pete Sr. is a genius, stayed calm and knew exactly what to do. He really is all about safety and I'm sure the premonition of ending up in the water, jolted him into immediate action. I held my breath when I saw the camera go off and prayed he was alive and alright. So whatever that suit cost, worth every penny! I'm so thrilled for you all that you now have a fan boat cause you really need it during the winter. I love your life❣️
WOW! Thank God and Pete Sr and Jr's guardian angels... So glad you both are safe. This was a gripping video to watch, you taught the world the importance of having the right safety gear. Pete Jr, you have a very nice sled and Pete Sr, you found the perfect fan boat for your needs living on the remote island. Carol, I can only imagine what was going through your mind. So glad Dan was with you at home when this happened. What a way to start off the new year!
Praise the Lord!! Thankful everyone is on dry ground!! Thankful you found an air boat!! We know you've been shopping for one dor a while. God provided just in time!! This will be a great tool for you and your neighbors!
So glad Pete was able to act so quickly. The flotation suit sure paid off. I cannot imagine how he felt when he saw the open water he fell through. Now I’m sure you will feel less isolated during the winter with the fan boat.
WOW! SO frightening, but also great to know that it was Pete Sr.'s ability to function correctly in the emergency which saved his life- being prepared with all the right gear was crucial, but so was keeping a level head. Very thankful it turned out well, & that you're all home safely without injury.💖
When I saw your solution to the boltI figured something like that would happen. You need to find a lock knock when it has plastic on the end kind of tightened it up
Holy, holy mac and cheeeeeese!!! That was terrifying!!😮 Plus as i was watching, I could see all this water and ice all of a sudden, then a commercial came on!! Praise the Lord, holy ya, that was too close! 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! What a quick thinker, and survivor you are Pete Sr! I had to log on (I haven’t even finished watching the episode yet) and say how thankful we are that you are OK Pete! And yes Carol I 100% agree with your family had angels with you today! ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh thank god !!! Carol my heart sank when Peter went under and my body literally turned Ice cold , but in that second I knew he was fine , because he “ Always “ dresses for those , what ifs!!! Love & follow all your content , Including the boys … Stay warm !!!🫶🙏
Pete Sr I think the hand of God reached down and grabbed you by the collar as you clawed desperately with your ice picks. I've watched your family's adventures for years and feel almost like a family member. Thank the Lord you escaped that terrible close call. I am so relieved for all of you with the purchase of the air boat. I'm also thankful Dan didn't double up with Pete Jr on the snowmobile to venture home to the cabin after being absent for so long. God Bless you all !
One of the reasons why I always hike with gear no matter if it's a day hike to make sure I have enough to survive overnight. Survival equipment is more important than anybody could ever imagine. Glad Pete is safe.
Never posted a comment before but have enjoyed watching. So grateful to hear that you were okay. Thanks for taking all the safety precautions. My husband does the same with our family. Made me appreciate that more after seeing your adventure. Praying 🙏 you all stay safe.
I use to live and fish on Lake Simcoe with my Dad. You will never see me ever again on frozen water on a lake. Glad you are alive and when I saw you have to travel like this I have been praying since I started watching you since your daughters wedding, started watching about 3 months ago.
Pete, this episode showcased your accumulation of life lessons, and it was wonderful way to share what you have spent your life learning. The mindset that you created to keep you and your family safe has just been justified in so many ways. Safety first. ATGAT - "All the Gear All the TIme" is also My motto and what I preach and demonstrate to my sons. Your Financial responsibility, Awareness, Preparedness, Safety mindedness, Calm, cool and collective temperment in emergency situations, and then your Rigging training and Skills with the ropes was what blew my mind and literally had me cheering you on. I am constantly teaching my boys and Levelling Up myself ( I am 55) to be ready for whatever life throws at me. Well done Sir, you just proved that you are ON the RIGHT path. You live your life never knowing when your skills will be called upon, this episode called on some important ones. Pete, sit down and have a long talk with yourself, and know that the knowledge, skills and experience you have been focusing on is Paying off and justified and acknowledge that you are in fact, being the BEST YOU CAN BE. Thank-you for this lesson EFRT.
So grateful you got out of the mess. I also grateful you had the dream because it made you extra cautious and that’s what got you back to the family. My heart was up in my throat too Carol. ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely prayers answered! Thankful Pete Sr. is fine. I'm one of those who would rather be really cautious and have layers of safety....just in case. We lost a lot of our redundant safety items in a house fire two years ago-this reminds me that replacing the items we need in this new season is a top priority-walking out my intention to develop and implement with routines and tools the new systems we need in our new life season. Blessings!
Carol I hope you take some lessons on piloting the airboat…just in case of emergencies! Awesome addition. Love your videos. Thank you! I grew up with a cottage on an island on Georgian Bay in Parry Sound…an airboat would have made our lives sooo much easier and would have allowed us to use the cottage much more in the winter.
Wow, Im so glad you are all okay! Incredible that the ice held for the first snowmobile trip and the first crossing you made Peter. It was wild those few seconds of film that you captured with the ice breaking up. Does the suit protect your feet too? Or were your feet and hands frozen? I hope you don’t get sick, and it seems you warmed up okay. That was so scary to watch!! You are brave, and thanking God you and all are safe.
Close call Pete. Thank God you were properly prepared. I do Search & Rescue, and all too often people aren't properly prepared, and thus get into trouble. Glad you are safe!! The fan boat is a smart purchase and super cool.
Oh my gosh. I have tears in my eyes. Thankfully Dan is ok. Wet, but ok. WOW You guys take care and so glad everybody is ok now. STAY SAFE, DRY AND WARM.
Glad you got your airboat! You will love it and make life so much easier for you and your family. Be sure to get several sets of ear muffs to protect your ears from the sound of that engine you are so close to. Stay safe !❤
OMG guys so happy Pete is OK how scary! I only found your channel about a month ago and I Bing watched everything, just love your family and all your adventures. I live right across the st.lawrence river from Kingston in northern ny. This brought back a memories of my father going threw the ice at our camp on Butterfield lake back in the 70s thank God he wasn't alone and had friends there to help him get out but his snow machine spent the rest of the winter on the bottom of the lake. In the spring they where able to get it out and he had it running again before the nest winter. And by the way we have a German short-haired pointer named Winnie❤ please stay safe and relax for awhile😊 looking forward to your nxt post.
Glad he is safe,now is time for the fan boat.Peter had wonderful Angels watching over him and god was good.Please stay safe and it was a very emotional day for you all.Love your videos and please be well and Safe.🥰💙🙏💙🥰
Good to see you guys are knowing and prepared. Keep calm as you did and always always keep your pics close by. Hey Pete. Check your carbides. On the skis. The “scratchy” things. lol. Get your track studded. Not sure if you’re aware but you can also get scratchers that bolt on and scratch the ice in return sending ice up onto your coolers. Stay safe guys.
Pete, I was surprised you could talk after you submerged! I was hoping you would just get in the truck! Post haste! Glad you are okay! Congratulations on the new addition!
So happy every one is safe! I’m in Florida and air boats are not my thing, but I’m so glad you now have a safe way of getting supplies! Please be very careful!
When something like this happens to your family it really opens up your eyes and you truly appreciate the time and the conversation that you have with loved ones. May your skies always be blue
Wow. Your channel has inspired us on some many levels over the years. Pete's preparedness certainly paid off with his mishap and the power of a dream or premonition is undeniable. Be so cool if the floater suit company Striker chimed in somehow to promote/sponsor from such a legit life saving aspect. I for one just ordered ice picks to add to my suit as an avid snowmobiler. Consider producing more ice related episodes to educate on get out after falling in , using fire fighting rescue knowledge and resources. Big opportunity. Be well. Thank you!!!
First and foremost I thankGod for looking out for your wonderful family and looking out for for Pete senior and bringing them all home safely until you next video stay warm I was going to say God bless but he already did 🙏❤️✌🏼
I'm glad you're ok Mr. Pete. Going through the ice is always a scary ordeal. I've went through in -20 weather. Luckily was really close town. As for the food...try using a ice chest cooler. They will keep your veggies and other foods from getting to cold. Think of it ..we use thermos to keep coffee warmer longer. Cooler can do the same.
man, I've watched this twice. what an emotional roller coaster the last few days must have been. thank God everyone is fine especially Peter, y'all raised your kids right (adapt, conquer, overcome).🖖✌
Last time I spun out like that I had kleats on the snowmobile track. It caught and body slammed me on the ice, breaking 4 ribs and a collarbone 10 km from the nearest road and 60 km to the hospital. Be careful out there.
Voilà ce qu'il faut pour traverser en sécurité ce lac dangereux. La nature ne préserve toujours des surprises. Regardez par exemple ce qui se passe en Californie. Soyez toujours prudents! Que dieu vous protège, et merci pour le partage 😘💕. On vous suit depuis le Maroc, Morocco.

A friend went in the ice on a Men's church retreat years ago. I don't think he understood the gravity of it all.
GRATEFUL. SO VERY GRATEFUL PETE LIVES TO TELL THE STORY. Grateful Pete Jr. didn't have issues on the ice.
From Ottawa: We are so thankful that you are okay Pete. That dream was a warning which combined with your cool head and expertise saved you. To the rest of your family, I am so glad that your husband and father is okay. You were all being watched over, protected and guided.

Thank the Lord that Pete Sr. is a genius, stayed calm and knew exactly what to do.

I held my breath when I saw the camera go off and prayed he was alive and alright. So whatever that suit cost, worth every penny!
I'm so thrilled for you all that you now have a fan boat cause you really need it during the winter.
I love your life❣️
WOW! Thank God and Pete Sr and Jr's guardian angels... So glad you both are safe. This was a gripping video to watch, you taught the world the importance of having the right safety gear.

Great video and a lesson for anyone that enjoys the outdoors to always put safety first. Glad everyone is safe. 🇨🇦
Never posted a comment before but have enjoyed watching. So grateful to hear that you were okay. Thanks for taking all the safety precautions. My husband does the same with our family. Made me appreciate that more after seeing your adventure. Praying 🙏 you all stay safe.
Such a scary experience ! Thank God Pete senior was prepared for this. Underscores how very important it is to be prepared when living remotely.
Thank you lord for keeping the daddy safe .
Oh my goodness !! 😮 Thank god you're safe.🙏 I'm so happy you got the fan boat..Please be safe !✌️👍🇨🇦
I use to live and fish on Lake Simcoe with my Dad. You will never see me ever again on frozen water on a lake. Glad you are alive and when I saw you have to travel like this I have been praying since I started watching you since your daughters wedding, started watching about 3 months ago.

Thank you for sharing. Awesome you were able to get your airboat.
So grateful you got out of the mess. I also grateful you had the dream because it made you extra cautious and that’s what got you back to the family. My heart was up in my throat too Carol. ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad everyone is safe. You need some of the 18 inches of snow we received in SE NE last week. Keep warm!
So glad Pete is safe!
OMG thank the lord you are safe! You did all the right things!❤
Absolutely prayers answered! Thankful Pete Sr. is fine. I'm one of those who would rather be really cautious and have layers of safety....just in case.

Thankful everyone is ok ♡♡♡ especially Pete snr.Happy you have the fanboat now xxx Watching from New Zealand
Wow! What an adventure! So happy everything turned out well. Looking forward to future fan boat content!
Wow, Im so glad you are all okay! Incredible that the ice held for the first snowmobile trip and the first crossing you made Peter.

I hope you don’t get sick, and it seems you warmed up okay. That was so scary to watch!! You are brave, and thanking God you and all are safe.
Close call Pete. Thank God you were properly prepared. I do Search & Rescue, and all too often people aren't properly prepared, and thus get into trouble. Glad you are safe!! The fan boat is a smart purchase and super cool.
Oh my gosh. I have tears in my eyes. Thankfully Dan is ok. Wet, but ok. WOW You guys take care and so glad everybody is ok now. STAY SAFE, DRY AND WARM.
Glad you got your airboat! You will love it and make life so much easier for you and your family. Be sure to get several sets of ear muffs to protect your ears from the sound of that engine you are so close to. Stay safe !❤
W😮W is all I can say...so glad you're all safe and I can see why a fan boat is really necessary! Prayers up for you all!
When I saw that footage I freaked, I'm glad all went well and Pete is good. The air boat is pretty cool.
OMG guys so happy Pete is OK how scary! I only found your channel about a month ago and I Bing watched everything, just love your family and all your adventures. I live right across the st.lawrence river from Kingston in northern ny. This brought back a memories of my father going threw the ice at our camp on Butterfield lake back in the 70s thank God he wasn't alone and had friends there to help him get out but his snow machine spent the rest of the winter on the bottom of the lake. In the spring they where able to get it out and he had it running again before the nest winter. And by the way we have a German short-haired pointer named Winnie❤ please stay safe and relax for awhile😊 looking forward to your nxt post.
That is the reason why we believe, miracles happens, thank God you save. Lots of hippiness from Namibia.
Glad he is safe,now is time for the fan boat.Peter had wonderful Angels watching over him and god was good.Please stay safe and it was a very emotional day for you all.Love your videos and please be well and Safe.🥰💙🙏💙🥰
THANK GOD!
🙏🏻
Thank the Lord your ok! Angels watching over you.
Wow, that was tense! Thank God 🙏🙏🙏Pete is ok! Please take care out there on the water and the severe cold.
Thank you! We are so grateful Pete Sr is ok! ❤️🙏🏻
I'm so glad everyone is safe and sound and a little more enlightened.
Thank God you’re safe!
Good to see you guys are knowing and prepared. Keep calm as you did and always always keep your pics close by. Hey Pete. Check your carbides. On the skis. The “scratchy” things. lol. Get your track studded. Not sure if you’re aware but you can also get scratchers that bolt on and scratch the ice in return sending ice up onto your coolers. Stay safe guys.
My heart started racing as the story unfolded. I can't imagine how yours was!!!
Thank God!!
Wow, so glad Pete stayed safe.
Now that was an unexpected post- so glad you all avoided serious complications. Stay safe and take care❤️
Pete, I was surprised you could talk after you submerged! I was hoping you would just get in the truck! Post haste! Glad you are okay! Congratulations on the new addition!
Glad you had the safety gear and glad your ok.
Thank God everyone is safe! So happy you got your fan boat! ❤
So happy every one is safe! I’m in Florida and air boats are not my thing, but I’m so glad you now have a safe way of getting supplies! Please be very careful!
When something like this happens to your family it really opens up your eyes and you truly appreciate the time and the conversation that you have with loved ones.
May your skies always be blue
So thankful Pete is safe! My heart was racing.. 😮🙏
Wow. Your channel has inspired us on some many levels over the years. Pete's preparedness certainly paid off with his mishap and the power of a dream or premonition is undeniable. Be so cool if the floater suit company Striker chimed in somehow to promote/sponsor from such a legit life saving aspect. I for one just ordered ice picks to add to my suit as an avid snowmobiler. Consider producing more ice related episodes to educate on get out after falling in , using fire fighting rescue knowledge and resources. Big opportunity. Be well. Thank you!!!
Thank you Lord!!
We are so thankful 🙏🏻
Thank god Pete is good. Y’all stay safe. God bless.
🙏🏻
First and foremost I thankGod for looking out for your wonderful family and looking out for for Pete senior and bringing them all home safely until you next video stay warm
I was going to say God bless but he already did 🙏❤️✌🏼
Happy you find one security first! Take care ❤😊
I'm glad you're ok Mr. Pete. Going through the ice is always a scary ordeal. I've went through in -20 weather. Luckily was really close town. As for the food...try using a ice chest cooler. They will keep your veggies and other foods from getting to cold. Think of it ..we use thermos to keep coffee warmer longer. Cooler can do the same.
Wow Thank God Pete is Ok and alive!
man, I've watched this twice. what an emotional roller coaster the last few days must have been. thank God everyone is fine especially Peter, y'all raised your kids right (adapt, conquer, overcome).🖖✌
Last time I spun out like that I had kleats on the snowmobile track. It caught and body slammed me on the ice, breaking 4 ribs and a collarbone 10 km from the nearest road and 60 km to the hospital. Be careful out there.
