Cool Video, Thanks for Sharing. When i was a kid, the kids played Hockey on a lake. One of the kids fell in. Sorry and that was the first funeral I went to. I learned to ice skate after that. Not as good as you though. I worked for a guy that didn't pay a lot. I went to their house to visit his son. The son said "Hey you want to ice skate?" I said yes. He goes here try these on and they were his ice skates. they fit. and he said you can have them, I know my Dad don't pay good. So it began.
Wow! So sorry to hear about that kid falling through the ice. Exactly my fear. Which is why I was so cautious, especially skating alone. Skating is so fun no matter the skill level. Gliding on ice has such an ethereal sensation. Very magical. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Growing up in Minnesota, this is a normal winter activity. The hard-core lake/river skaters carry ice picks made into wooden handles that interlock. If you fall through the ice, you unlock the handles creating two ice picks. You use them to climb out of the water by jabbing them into the edge so you can pull yourself up and out. So cool you finally got to do it. Merry Christmas.
Yes I’ve watched some videos demonstrating the ice picks for self rescue. That was one of the reasons I opted for the shallow pond, since I didn’t have those. I’ll probably get some, with hope of NEVER having to use them. I envy your time growing up in a place where skating on frozen lakes was commonplace. A belated Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year!
@@NixAdventrex Thanks for the holiday wishes. Yes, I grew up in the frigid North and have had enough. Maybe that's why I like the Desert so much ! Here's to new travel adventures in 2024 !
Awesome video! Glad to see you took all the safety measures possible. Happy you were able to do something you always wanted to do since you were a little kid. Have a great new year.
I hope there will be more videos!

Hi Nix, haven't seen a new video in months, I hope all is well with you! Best wishes :)
I know. Sorry. I started a new a job a few months ago, so the channel has fallen behind. I’ll put something out eventually! I hope! 😊
@@NixAdventrex I know how that goes!
Happy to hear that everything’s fine though 😄
