2. My parents showed me this when i could barely walk. Luckily I’ve never had to use it.

3. Cool, but perhaps the wrong season

4. Basically it’s meditation. You embrace and accept the cold sensation til your body adjust. Our bodies are quite amazing at surviving. I have fallen down frozen ice and I didn’t feel any chock because I logically knew it is cold and panicking won’t help. I also take cold showers /swim in cold lakes so my body is familiar with the feeling.

5. accept ur fate and die

6. Skönt att ha färskt i minne så här i slutet av juli.

7. Man I dated a Swedish girl like four years ago and this shit is still on my feed

8. I högstadiet fick vi lära oss det här och sedan hoppa i en isvak. Man fick inte klättra ut förrän man lungt kunde rabbla vissa personuppgifter om sig själv utan att staka sig. Bra användande av en idrottstimme för vi fick bada bastu efteråt.

   Jag fnissade lite och kom genast att tänka på härligt ostiga Gloryhammers låt The Epic Rage of Furious Thunder med textraden “And it came to pass that Zargothrax was cast into the frozen pool of liquid ice”.

10. IT’S JULY!

12. Fall through ice, take deep breath, stretch out, relax, take a short nap, do some crossword puzzles, order a pizza, realize you fell down in freezing water, panic

14. Han missar helt en av de viktigaste lektionerna – ta dig upp samma väg som du kom. Du vet att isen där bär, i alla fall fram tills du gick igenom. Det vet du inte åt något annat håll.

15. “and realize its going to pass…”

    Technically correct I guess, either way…
