Alone again.
GlisGlis:
it seems that after day 45 they are allowed to use gill nets. That could change the game.
Looking at the vegetation types it seems that they are not in the same icy climatic zone as last year.
Maybe it will take more time for the lake to freeze

Most of these people that have gill nets don't think clearly. One of the first things I would have done while the water is still fairly warm is set up a sort of zip line system for the net and go out in the water to set it up
Pat B:
I thought the one woman that swam the net anchor out was foolish and lucky she isn't already dead. She spent 30 minutes in the water and got tangled in the line and almost didn't get out. Any of these folks should know the hazards of cold water on the human body and the affects of hypothermia.
Curious to see how Clay handles his marauding bear. I assume shooting a bear is off limits.

Yep. Cold water and tangled lines are a real hazard. Been there while kitesurfing. When your hands get numb, your body wont stop shaking and you are still entangled in icy water you have to be lucky to live and learn the lesson.
I was provident enough to have a knife with me and also stupid enough to wait to use it not to damage my gear...
At least Theresa left the fire going before entering the water
Marc St Louis:
I guess it depends on one's constitution. When I was younger cold water did not bother me very much
