Video Transcription

about negative 18 Celsius zero Fahrenheit today and Hunter wants to go first one so the hunters really wanted to give this a try and it's really kind of too cold to do it we have to be careful about with temperatures like this about tissue damage when you're wet and then exposed to this cold air and the wind it's really dangerous so we're gonna keep them in the water as long as you want in that we shall regulator someplace safe from wind you can get redressed I wouldn't jump in just because of that we don't know what's what's done you slide yourself hey I think it's frozen over already [Applause]

[Applause]

well I did yeah definitely the mud feels a little frozen definitely a lot different than laying in the snow how's that oh it's you're completely submerged I mean though you're like every inch of you is yeah instead of just the few parts started to snow definitely arms feel tingly yeah something is gonna be a little deeper have it start shivering yet no no you seem fine yeah it's actually simply my hands and arms a lot of people the hands toughest thing it's pretty painful but you're not describing it's being described

so how you yeah it's gonna be fun going all the way under at the end you're gonna do it [Laughter]

that'd be warmer cuz with the cold of the outside yeah yeah definitely feels like moving a slow motion you know kind of like they'll have that full control and i clenched my fists don't feel you have my full strength why did someone do something like this a lot of people are wondering right now right just to destroy it I guess you know you don't get to do this often experience yeah yeah it's kind of what you saw when you came here just like learning things and experiencing things that's what your life is yeah absolutely that's what I live it to the fullest you know you could live in your nice little house and never leave if you really wanted to now with like ordering online and everything comes straight to your door or you just go explore the world and that's part of what you're gonna do after yeah this is some exploring around the world yeah I got this unique opportunity to see is so much of the world instead of back in the day when people just saw no more than 100 miles around them and this isn't because you have great wealth or anything that's gonna allow you to travel you're just gonna find your way yep do it however I can pretty day isn't it I don't know I'd hazard to guess maybe we [Music]
