mnwildpunk Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I am at lake minntonka in -5 wind chill standing in a bathing suit wait to jump in icy water for donations to charity from homeless shelters to my job the lift garage which is our non profit
Snake45 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 That's great, and the homeless will really benefit if you get pneumonia. Seriously, good luck with all that.
crazyjim Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Sure hope you get lots of donations and not sick.
Danny Lectro Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 That does not make you a dummy. That makes you ONE BAD DUDE. Good stuff, man. Make sure you get dried off, warmed up and covered up when you are done!
Roadrunner Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I'd have a heart attack. There has to be an easier way.
Belugawrx Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Good on ya brother This is taking the ice bucket challenge to a new level. Stay safe and get warm Cheers
disabled modeler Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Dave buddy...good luck and I hope you get loads of donations for the cause....anyone willing to put themselves through things like this is special and has a heart for others out there.
mnwildpunk Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 I took the plunge about ten minutes ago and on the way home my wife keeps asking if I'm warm enough I'm still freezing and she is sweating to death!!!
mnwildpunk Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 I'd have a heart attack. There has to be an easier way. well half way through I had to grab onto a pole cause I didn't think my old butt could make it (thx don whistler for having that pole)
slusher Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 As Rocky Balboa said about charity " Bob Hope would" You made it through it. Stay warm friend...
unclescott58 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Ah, a polar bear plunge. People here in Minnesota have been do this for years. Mainly around New Years Day. I've lived here all of my life. And I'm of Finnish and Norwegin descent. In fact the the Finns have a tradition of jumping in frozen lakes or rolling in the snow after taking a Sauna (the greatest thing the Finns ever invented). But not I! I admit it. I'm a wimp. I admire your courage Dave. But question your sanity. Scott
