Grab your warmest gear and pack a hot lunch, as this episode features a lengthy chat about Jason’s return to the land of ice and snow (and the frigid waters below) following his recent outing to go ice diving. From setup and life on-the-ice to the specialized gear, managing a camera, and how to stay warm in near-frozen water, Jason has all the details from his adventure under the ice.

In a not dissimilar fashion, James is gearing up for some winter camping and both of the TGN boys have cold weather-appropriate picks for Final Notes as Jason sees the return of a long-lost ship, and both offer their feelings about the latest in adventure-specific online documentaries.

Good for you, Jason! I do quite a bit of ice climbing, but I would be much less confident under the ice. Is the claustrophobia inherent in diving 10x worse under ice?

The ice diving recap was fascinating. I was also delighted to hear you share the article I sent in on Amundsen’s Maud. Of course no need to apologize for any delay, I am just glad you enjoyed it and hope a larger audience will too. As you suspected, I am not the actor but I can share some mistaken identity stories with you if the NYC meetup returns. Keep up the great work.
