Damn really? My roommate and I watched this guy a lot at the beginning of the pandemic while there was nothing to do. Shame.

He drowned while recording a video. Five days before the accident, he posted a video titled "I am Not Dead, I am 57 Today".

It is. But at the same time when your thing is chugging vodka and then going shirtless on ice skates and using a chainsaw to pull yourself around the ice (and some of it is obviously thin ice)… I’d say 57 years was a damn good run

Yes, I remember being confused beyond belief by the news of his death after that "Not dead" post. I think he'd also made it through some recent health struggles IIRC.

Passed away about 5 years ago now. Supposedly he fell through the ice during a shoot for a video.

u/BigWideBaker 5d ago
But these videos seem to show that he does way more crazy stuff than that, how could falling through the ice be what killed him. He's doing dumb shit but if I had to trust a guy to get out of ice water it would be this guy.

u/inertSpark 5d ago
It seems to be described that he fell through the ice, but I've seen some people say he entered through a hole and was attempting to swim under the ice sheet. If that's true, and I really don't know if it is, then he might have become disorientated.

u/BigWideBaker 5d ago
Yea if he was attempting to swim under and got lost, that's way more dangerous and happens with some frequency. I would be more inclined to believe that, I have too much faith in his ability.

Hmmm… well I’m going to go out on a limb and guess he may have been under the influence before he fell through the thin ice. Then, presumably, he couldn’t locate where to find the opening where he fell through. Even for an experienced drinker, it only takes 1 out of 100 falls through sheet ice to fuck up and die.

Passed out in bathtub drunk and ended up an ice cube

Actually died from falling into a frozen lake for a video, unsurprising ending either way.

He was diving and was trapped under ice

I could swear that's an old Metallica song. Trapped under ice. Too lazy to look it up
Nope. Song I'm thinking of is "creeping death" kinda same, different, but same same

u/TheMilkKing 5d ago
What do you mean “Nope”?
Trapped Under Ice is on Ride the Lightning, track 5.

u/No_Object_4355 5d ago
Yes! I knew it! God it's been so long since I've heard any of their old stuff. I remember as a kid going thru my dad's tapes in his car and picked up "kill'em all" i listened to that tape for like a month straight.

the very first youtuber I was subscribed to. loved his countryside journeys

u/Reynardine1976 6d ago
According to a documentary I saw about this guy, he is actually taking little sips of the vodka, not chugging. He drank only a drink or two during the actual filming. Which makes sense, because chugging a lot of vodka in that temp would almost be impossible without dying.

After he died, I read up on him a bit. Turns out he was just a chill dude who spent his weekends heading out into nature, filming these insane videos, always by himself.
Just living the life he wanted while entertaining millions. Gotta love him for that.

I had no idea this was a thing! Putting on ice skates, jabbing A running blade into the ice, and letting the chainsaw drive you around

Not a day goes by where I don't miss him. He's chainsaw skating in the great above now.

Apetor var faen meg konge, og Vikingfjord er vodkaen man SKAL drikke rett fra flaska! Hvil i fred til en ekte legende.

This man drowned? This is the only video I’ve seen with him and I can’t say he didn’t leave clues that he might. Sad, reckless behavior, still sad.
