On a windy winter day fourteen years ago, Duane Braaksma set out alone to ice fish on Big Green Lake Wisconsin. What should have been a quiet afternoon on the ice turned into a fight for survival when he fell through and found himself trapped in freezing water with no way out. With other fishermen nearby but unable to hear his calls for help, Duane only had minutes to act.
In this episode, we tell the gripping true story of survival against the odds. We also break down the science of cold-water immersion and how quickly hypothermia can set in. If you live where lakes freeze or you love winter ice fishing, skating, snowmobiling or exploring the outdoors, this episode could save your life.
When it comes to ice, what you don't know can cost you.
