Winter survival training (Patreon)

What happens when you drop a bunch of guntubers into the Finnish wilderness for a crash course in winter survival? This was a one-day training session designed to teach us the basics of handling yourself in cold weather.
The course was simplified because let's be honest, most of us never experienced such extreme winter conditions. It wasn’t brutally cold, and no, we didn’t have to sleep outside or build shelters (thankfully).
But we did strap on skis and learn how to move through the snow without breaking our necks. We practiced making fires with freezing hands, and the highlight was breaking through the ice into freezing water and figuring out how to get out and warm up before hypothermia set in.
This wasn’t some hardcore survival ordeal, but it was enough to humble us a bit and remind us how unforgiving nature can be if you don’t respect it. Watch us stumble through skiing, flail in icy water, and learn a thing or two along the way.
