BOX FORT ON ICE!! (GONE WRONG)

– What is going sharers?
I’m Stephen Sharer. We got this box fort and
we got this frozen pond. We’re about to stick the box fort on top of the frozen
water, will this work? Will it sink? I don’t know. Let’s find out, let’s put
it on, let’s give it a go. Box fort on ice, woo, here we go. Oh yeah, it’s working. This is seriously the
coolest box fort ever. It’s on ice and check it
out, it looks so cool. It’s literally smack dab
in the middle of the pond, nothing around it but
frozen water, sharers. This is so cool, here we go. I’m definitely not as good on skates. (ice cracks) Whoa, whoa, okay, okay. Oh my goodness sharers, I gotta go. Whoa, did you hear that? That was the loudest ice crack I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I’m pretty sure that’s the ice cracking. (ice cracks) Oh yeah, I think it is. Okay, we gotta get off this
ice, sooner than later, whoa. Okay, oh my goodness, I thought
that was a truck driving by. No, it’s the ice breaking, okay, when the ice starts to
crack, what you wanna do is get as much body weight
on to the ice as possible so it’s not on one, you gotta
spread your body weight out because, okay, I think
the ice is about to crack. We gotta get off, we gotta get off. (yells) Oh, yes! Ooh, fresh pair of skates. What is going on sharers,
welcome to the vlog. As you can tell, I got
a new pair of skates because, check it out, the pond is frozen. Now sharers, the pond has not really been frozen for a couple of years now, it just has never gotten cold
enough in the winter time. But because it has been so cold recently, it actually froze over, and
the other day I tested it. I walked on the pond and
it was frozen enough, so I went and I bought
ice skates and now I think it’s time to test it out again, see if I can actually skate on the ice. Ooh, okay check this out, uh-oh, actually I feel like the ice got thinner. (stomps) (gasps) Sharers, I think it’s gonna work. I think it’s gonna work, I think I’m actually gonna
be able to skate on the ice. And if that goes well, sharers, I think we’ll be putting
a box fort on the ice. Whoa! Although I’m not sure
how thick the ice is, check this out, it’s like a huge, oh wow, this ice is super smooth. (gasps) It’s so clean and
so smooth, look at that! Whoa, it’s like an ice
crystal. (chorus sings) Now, that is worth getting on the ice for. Check this out, I gotta get this, please be solid enough, oh my goodness. Look at this, whoa, oh
my gosh, what is this? (ice cracks) Oh! It’s like an ice jewel. Whoa, this is the coolest
thing I’ve ever seen. Check this out, look how awesome it is, It’s the clearest water I’ve ever seen. Oh and it sparkles in
the sun, look at that, it’s sparkling in the sun, how
amazing is this ice crystal? But you know what? Before I put these ice skates on, we should drill into the pond
to see how thick the ice is. You know, we gotta make sure
it’s safe enough to walk on. And what better to get
through the ice with a drill. (drill whirs) Woo, let’s do this! Okay, I’m on the ice, let’s
hope it does not crack, sharers don’t try this
at home, but let’s drill through the ice and let’s
see how thick it is. Here we go, will this work? I don’t know. (drill whirs) (screams) It’s working! Oh
yeah, it’s definitely working. Whoa this is so cool, it’s
spraying ice everywhere, whoa this ice is pretty
thick, it’s still going, it’s still going, whoa, okay,
we’re still not through. This is some thick ice. Whoa, okay we’re not even
all the way through yet. And this is a deep hole, whoa, sharers, this pond is so frozen,
this ice is so thick. I don’t think the pond
has ever froze this much. It has been so cold here, this is awesome. Let’s keep drilling, we
gotta get to the bottom. Look how deep it is
already, check this out and this goes all the way down
and it’s still not touching, we got a long ways to go,
let’s go. (drill whirs) And did we reach water
yet, oh, there we go. We reached water. (gasps) Woo, we reached water, okay, wow. This is one thick sheet
of ice all over the pond, and I’m pretty sure it’s
actually thicker in the middle. Sharers, let’s go ice skating. (intense, sci-fi music) Moment of truth, sharers,
it’s time to skate on the ice. Okay, let’s test out these new skates, I have not used them yet, I
don’t even know how smooth or how rough the pond’s gonna be. Ice skating in my own
backyard, whoa, okay. (gasps) This might turn out bad,
okay, be careful, here we go. Whoa, it’s like really slippery actually. Wow, whoa, whoa, okay, I’m on the ice. It’s really slippery!
Whoa, oh my goodness, whoa. Okay, this is a lot harder than I thought. (beautiful piano music) (yells) This is awesome! This is so cool! Okay, so the ice is not that smooth, so it’s a super bumpy
ride, but it still works. Oh yeah, I can’t believe I’m
over top of the pond right now. In the summer, this would be
like 14 feet of water below me. (chill music) So let’s hope it does not crack. This is so cool, you can see
like air bubbles and everything and the coolest part is,
there’s still fish underneath, so if you look closely,
I bet you we could see some of the koi fish swimming. This is so cool, I’m skating
on the pond! (cheers) You know what, let’s go get the box fort, let’s do box fort on ice,
box fort on ice! (yells) This box fort on ice is gonna be simple, it’s gonna be four wall and
a roof and an open bottom because you know, it’s so
cool, you’re going to be able to see the fish swim underneath your feet. So let’s get choppin, let’s get tapin, let’s get this box fort
on ice ready to go. (inspiring electronic music) Okay, so we got a roof,
we got the four sides, I’m thinking for this one, we’re gonna do a big giant front door and a big giant back door so that way we can skate in and out through it, it’s gonna be the coolest
box fort we’ve ever built. (yells) Let’s start by cutting a door
that’s like absolutely huge. (scissors snip) Oh, yeah, now that’s
what I call a giant door, let’s do the same thing on the back. The last and final step before
we take the box fort outside and test it on the frozen
pond is to decorate it with some awesome duct tape,
do you know what I’m thinking? I’m really digging this light blue tape, (gasps) we gotta some of this tape, too. Ooh, we got some awesome colors. Let’s make it an icicle box fort. Let’s get tapin. (tape rips) (inspiring electronic music) Sweet, check it out
sharers, the box fort on ice is ready to go, we got a
subtle little teal strip along the roof, just so when it snows, it’ll match the color of the snow. Then coming down here, we
have a nice blue window door with a white stripe and
blue to cover it up. This allows skater to know
that when they’re coming they can go right through
here and out the other side. But the real question is, how
is this box fort gonna look when we stick it in on the
frozen pond on top of the ice. Sharers come right now, hashtag #boxfort if this is the coolest boxfort idea you have ever seen. I’m so ready to test this
out, let’s put this up, let’s get this out to
the pond, and let’s go. Sweet, sharers! We got the box fort. We got the frozen pond, let’s put it on, let’s see what it looks like,
let’s do this, here we go. (gasps) Boxfort on ice, woo, here we go. Oh yeah, it’s working, okay
where should we put it? I’m thinking we put it
right in the middle. Right here because in the summer there is no way you can get in the middle. This is so cool (gasps) oh
yeah, it’s workin sharers. It is so slippery, okay,
let’s check this out. Box fort on ice, this is seriously the coolest box fort ever, it’s on ice and check it out, it looks so cool. It’s literally smack dab
in the middle of the pond, nothing around it but
frozen water, sharers. This is so cool, and you go up to it, oh hello box fort on ice, we go inside, check this out, this is so cool, whoa. It looks like frozen
Gatorade, this is so cool. You can just look down all day and I’m sure eventually you’ll
see a fish moving very slowly ’cause it’s super cold underneath here, but I’m sure you’ll see
a fish at some point. This is so cool (gasps)
and it’s freezing cold. Wow, that ice is so cold. (blows air) Yeah, that ice is really cold
and then you can look out the back door here and
see the beautiful view of more frozen water and the
paddle boat and some land. And you can even climb up to the roof here and look out, this is so cool. (yells) And now the question is,
can we skate through it? I don’t know, but I want
to put my skates back on so let’s go, let’s go
skatin through the box fort. Well, you know what, your shoes
actually work pretty well. Oh yeah, this is so cool, you know what? Let’s try with my shoes
first, see if I can skate through the box fort on
the ice with my shoes and then we’ll put the skates on, maybe I can jump over it or something, okay let’s give this a go, you ready? Okay, time to make it
through the box fort on ice. Let’s do this, here we go,
I’m gonna get a running start. Will this work? I have no idea. Here we go, three, two,
one, go. (box crunches) Ow, almost, woo, okay I think I can do it. Let me get some gloves on. Got my handy dandy
gloves, this will allow me to slide a little bit easier on the ice. So let’s put these on,
let’s do it, try number two. Will I make it all the way through the box from the backside to the front? Let’s try it again. Here we go in three, two, one, go! Whoa, yes, it worked.
(laughs) That was so cool. But it wasn’t the smoothest
slide, so you know what? Let’s strap up, let’s
put those ice skates on, and let’s skate through it,
I think it’s gonna work, ’cause look, when I went through it, I accidentally flattened it, so like, now there’s no door frame
left, this is better, because it’s flat on the surface. (gasps) Oh wow, check this out, ready? (slide whistle) Whoa that slides easy, okay
this is gonna be awesome. Oh yeah by the way, check this out. I put a chair and a
picnic table on the ice. You know, in case Carter comes
down and he wants a snack. He has a place to sit on the ice and watch me play in my box fort. This is the coolest thing. Sharers, if you have crazy awesome ideas on what we can do with this frozen pond, you gotta come up low, I’m thinking, ooh, like artsy car on frozen pond, ATV on frozen pond (gasps),
we could put the shared kitty Lamborghini and drive it across the pond, oh that would be crazy, sharers, comment your crazy ideas below. Okay before I come up
with too many crazy ideas, let me get these ice skates on and let’s go through the box fort, we gotta make it all the way through, slide it through, jump out the other end, this is gonna be awesome. (wind blows) Sweet, laced up, ready
to go, let’s do this. We gotta make it all the way
through the box fort this time, start on this end, go fast fast fast, jump through, jump out the
other end and keep on skating all the way to the other side. Easier said than done, but let’s
do it, let’s give it a try. Here we go, I’m definitely
not as good on skates. (ice cracks) Oh! Whoa, okay, (laughs)
okay, oh my goodness sharers. I gotta get off, whoa did you hear that? That was the loudest ice crack I’ve ever heard in my entire life, I’m pretty sure that was the ice cracking. (ice cracks) Oh! Whoa. Oh yeah, I think it is, okay, we gotta get off this
ice sooner than later. (ice cracks) Oh! Whoa. Whoa, okay, oh my goodness, I thought it was truck driving by, no it’s the ice breaking, okay. When the ice starts to crack, what you wanna do is
get as much body weight on to the ice as possible
so that it’s on one, you gotta spread your body weight out because, okay, the ice is about to crack, we got to get off, we gotta
get off, this is not good. Oh my goodness you guys, we gotta get off. I don’t know, I’m pretty sure
that was the ice cracking. That was the loudest
noise I’ve ever heard. Okay, phew, I made it to safety, whoa. I’m pretty sure that was the ice cracking. Let’s replay that. (ice cracks) Oh! Whoa. We’ve got to save the box fort, okay. I put my shoes back on,
I’m going carefully, I gotta investigate
sharers because something definitely happened,
so you gotta be careful and we gotta get this
box fort off the ice. Sharers, if the ice ever cracks, don’t try this at home,
do not go back on the ice. Did the ice crack, yes, no? Am I coming up with it in my head? I have no ideas, sharers, comment. Some of you know ice better than me, so comment and let me know. You show how thick it
was earlier in the vlog. (drill whirs) It’s definitely
working, this is so cool. It’s spraying ice everywhere,
this ice is pretty thick. So you think it’s possible that it could have cracked when I was on it? I was right over here, this
is my line from the skate. Oh, the skate, see how deep that went? Okay, so I’m thinking what
happened was the skate caused a lot of pressure and it pushed on the ice and then I heard it crack
somewhere down here. So, I gotta be careful. (gasps) Yeah, it looks like some
water started coming up here. (gasps) Yup, water came
up there, big spot there, more spots over there, more there (gasps) and I’m definitely not going over there ’cause look how many spots are over there. That must be super weak over there, and I think that’s where it cracked. Okay, well, you know what,
let’s get this box fort off the ice, let’s get
out of here, sharers, that was a close, close call. Let’s let the pond
freeze overnight tonight and hopefully we’ll be able
to go back on it tomorrow. (gasps) You know what,
we could probably even do a 24 hour overnight challenge,
box fort on the ice. How cool would that be? What would even happen
at night, I have no idea. And what is that on the tree? Speaking of 24 hours
overnight on the pond, I’ve been looking at this thing, this thing just caught my eye, I don’t know what this
is, it looks like a skull. I’m hoping it’s not, I’m
hoping that it’s just like a piece of trash that looks
like a skull from here. I have no idea but do you see
that, next to the zip line? That white dot, it seriously
looks like a skull. I’m gonna go check it out,
I don’t know how deep, thick the ice is here, though, so I gotta be very, very careful. Let’s see, can I cross
here? I have no idea. (squeals) I think I can. (ice cracks) Alright let’s go quick, it seriously looks like a skull sharers. It looks like a skull,
let’s check this out. This could be the start to
a haunted box fort on ice. What is this? What, no, what? Sharers, what? I’m pretty
sure this is from a beach. Like a conch shell, no way, seriously? What? This is so random. How did a conch shell end up by the pond on a tree like this? Last time I saw this
thing, we were in Hawaii with Carl and Ginger, I have
no idea how this got here. I have no idea what’s going
on, but you know what? I just thought of something,
we could ride this zip line across the frozen pond
(gasps) should we try it? Let’s do it, ready? (yells) Yes, it’s working. (cheers) This is so cool. Alright sharers. Well, I don’t know what’s
going on with that conch shell, I don’t know what’s going on the ice, but let’s let it freeze over tonight. And then tomorrow, we
can go back on the ice with the box fort, it’ll be pretty cool. We can even spend the night,
and then you know what? We’ll never get thirsty
’cause we can drill through the ice and get the water. (drill whirs) Woo, we reached water. That’s right, comment your
crazy ideas on what we can do with this box fort on
the ice or what we can do with the frozen pond, it only freezes like once every so many years, so it’s so cool that it’s actually frozen. Yeah, comment those crazy ideas, and if you’re not already subscribed, make sure you’re subscribed
