Held my breath. Went under the water. Unlaced my Sorel boots because when they got wet they were like two concrete blocks. I couldn't move my feet before I got them off. I then climbed up my friend like a tree. Stood on his shoulders and jumped far from the hole. I then pulled him out and we walked back the way we came. Thank God I had a long line from me to the sled or we would of lost everyting including my Jiffy auger.
I now have large screw bolts I use as picks with a line around my neck for safety. I keep my boots untied if I feel the ice isn't that safe. I'll even wear one of those thin comfortable life preservers too.
