Lake Ice Safety | 3-Step Test & 7 Essentials

Learn a fast 3-step lake-ice check and the 5 essentials you should always carry. Works for skating, skiing, or dogsledding
—field-tested in Swedish Lapland.
In this video:
• The 3-Step Test — LOOK • PROBE • DECIDE
• The 5 Essentials — flotation layer/vest, ice picks, throw line, dry clothes (waterproof bag), ice spike/skate pole (axe optional if you already carry one), a buddy
Safety Note!: No ice is 100% safe. Ice quality matters more than thickness. As a guideline for walking/skating, look for 5-10 cm / 4" of new, clear ice, keep spacing, and measure locally.

👋 We are Stina & Matti, and we live in Northern Sweden in a small place called Jokkmokk. Except for making videos, we also run a small company called Jokkmokkguiderna and a kennel called Working Husky Kennel. We offer guided outdoor tours in Swedish Lapland all around the year. During the winter, we mostly do dog sledding tours, and in the summertime, it’s hiking tours, wildlife safaris, canoe, and packraft trips. We live year-round in Jokkmokk with a bunch of Siberian Huskies and 2 Border Collies.
