How would you survive on land, without survival equipment.?

Question

The skidoo went through the ice and you got wet.
Everything went down under, few hours of daylight.
minus 30 to minus 40, it's very cold.
How would you survive.

Answer 1

I assume if there is ice on the water, there is snow on the ground. Forge somekind of shelter out of the snow just slightly bigger then your body. That should help keep your natural body heat in.

Answer 2

You would die unless you could build a fire.... or you were smart enough to wear one of those waterproof flotation suits for skidooers. You would be frozen instantly in that kind of weather unless you got out of your clothes and built a fire. Trust me, I got my legs wet falling through the ice into a creek when it was -30 C and my legs were frozen solid to the point where I could barely move them and they were totally numb in less than 5 minutes, good thing I was close to home or I would have died.

Answer 3

I only skidoo on land, leave the lakes for the tourists..

Answer 4

You probably couldn't. You'd die of hypothermia before you could think about surviving. If you had some Niacin you could take that to open your blood vessels, that could keep you warm for a few minutes. Otherwise you're doomed.
