out2llunge Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 The Recovery Well, yesterday was another interesting day as a salvage crew came to recover the sleds from the lake in front of my place. The guy who went through is a super nice guy who kept apologizing (and thanking us for the 911 call) to us and realized how, well foolish it was to head out. One of the funniest things that happened during the day was the hordes of sledders that came to watch. About a dozen at a time would stop by and all park beside one another (on about 3 - 4" of ice). we joked about lucky they were that the salvage crews were already there. Luckily nobody else went through. Here's an instructional video that I hope nobody will ever need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Great work on the video JP. I'm hoping they used the ice they pushed under to refill the hole with before they left. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsn Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Great work on the video JP. I'm hoping they used the ice they pushed under to refill the hole with before they left. Mike Yeah I was thinking the same thing Mike that way it'll freeze faster sealing the thin gaps from the block instead of the major hole. Great job on the vid. I learned something new today.

Joey Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Great video, thanks for that. I was wincing wondering if they were all going to fall through trying to get it out. The ice still didn't look too thick. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNODDY Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 You know what is really funny about these guys is that they already fell through and all of them trying to retreive a sled that has sunk and not one of them wearing a float suit that I can see FOOLISH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
