Yukon River frozen but talking, 15 degrees




I went for a walk on the Yukon River this morning and it is still frozen. I walked to the middle and it was talking to me. It was making cracking and even moaning type noises. I went back to my side of the Yukon and walked to the dump. Saw a fox too.

1 - 10 - 1 rule If you fall through ice: 1- Take one minute to slow your breathing and get your wits about you, go cool and calm 10- take up to 10 minutes to get out of the water. (Go to the point where you fell in, it held your weight before it got too thin.) 1- Start walking to get the blood circulating - YOU HAVE ONE HOUR TO GET WARM or you will go unconscious. (Fire, blanket, sleeping bag)
