So if I'm walking on the ice and it breaks through, I want to get my arms up like this.

But I got my arms on the ice so my head didn't go under.

So the biggest thing is now to calm, relax myself and catch my breath so I don't panic.

Now, instead of trying to push on the ice like this,

I'm instead going to raise my legs to the back and I'm going to start kicking underneath like I'm swimming.

Now that I'm here, I could try to lift the leg out and push.

If you have a good angle towards shore, you could also roll like this.

And that's so you don't have pressure points to break through the ice.

until you get to a spot where the ice is thick enough.

Now, these are some ice picks that everyone should carry with you.

So if you don't have these, that's how you do it.

But if you do one good thing about these, you could put it under your jacket,

and have it come out exactly at your wrists.

I'm just going to show you how to use it right now.

My biggest thing is to not let my head go under so I don't gasp water and so I don't panic.

You could dig these in and still kick your way.

If the ice keeps breaking as you keep going, just keep doing this.

If you fall through again, kick those legs.

I'm DJ from the Bear Essentials, and thanks for stopping by.
