A Chicago man — dressed in his swim trunks — braved the sub-zero wind chill to take a leisurely stroll on the pancake ice covering Lake Michigan. The man shared the footage on Instagram, writing, the cold-water exposure is “a deeply meditative and healing practice” for him.

Some people will do anything for attention…..
I was gonna ask how long do you have to let it freeze to be safe but nevermind 😂
Must be getting ready for the polar plunge 😂
Man with death wish out for a stroll.
Go home Jesus, you’re drunk again aren’t you?
Couple of polar bears would spice this up!
I really don't think that's safe to do 😮
He’s NUTS 🥜
well he was dressed for the occasion 😳
I thought he was bruce almighty.
If he fell in, he’d be swept under so fast, there would be no finding him.
As i watch this, the song playing on my radio in the kitchen is
'Keep Warm' By Jinny 😅.
Snow joke.
Major shrinkage going on there
Look at all that “global warming”
Guys all, "How much did you say you'll pay me to walk from the pier to the shore in my shorts?"
WTF 😳 🫢 🫣 🙄
In just his underwear…. Because why else do it? 😂
What’s cool ? When Taxpayers money is spent if an accident occurs. 🤔
He is crazy 😮
Stupid people doing stupid things.then they wonder how they lost there life 😢
Good to see he is wearing gloves!?🤔
Jajaja che vato Polar Bear 🐻❄️🤘🏽😜
This is a talent that is a combination of DNA, and mental training…. With a fair amount of learned techniques and conditioning.
I hate cold, I feel it strongly. But I’m able to do things that I’ve noted other people cannot, this is because I was taught a few techniques how to master your body feels. If I took the time to do the training, I could be so much better at it, but I lack the will and the desire. Have a fair amount of Nordic blood, which is the DNA holding the tolerance. This is not enough, but for a short time, I’m able to function and not get sick or have any effects. I do possess the inability to hold on to this condition, very long before the cold rushes threw me.
Do not rescue.
I don’t get it. Why would anyone want to be in just their underwear on a day that the windchill is below zero, walking on ice, chancing falling through? If he fell through that ice, he’d go into shock almost immediately.
“I’m walking on risky. Oh! Oh! Oh! I may be foolish! Oh! Oh! Oh! But it Feels Good! Hell yeah, it feels good…” 🤨Sunshine ☀️
In the summer people jump in the lake from the pier.
Man is looking for the old Chicago fire logo.
💛💚🌲💚💛
don't step on a small one bud……..
It's all fun and games until he falls through the ice and has to call 911. 🤦🏾♀️
He realizes they're called "accidents" for a reason, right?
Why gloves?
I’d rather be at a bar
