Worse Case Scenario

Freezing Cold Water Immersion

Imagine falling into ice covered water in frigid temperatures (28 degrees F). This is truly a worse case scenario. This video demonstration isn't for the faint of heart and it's not one you'll witness that often. It's these types of demonstrations that show Jason's commitment to teaching cold weather skills that can save your life. Learn how to start a fire after you've fallen into freezing cold water and on the brink of hypothermia.
