 What's up guys takedown here with a nether story time video for you I'm going to try to keep this as quick as possible because I am running out of time with recording as well today um As the title and the thumbnail will say I have almost drowned This actually goes back to Right before high school. So i'm counting it as like a high school memory type story time But anyways, let's just get right into it um So my school the end of the year school trip for the eighth grade before we're going into High school even though it's still in the school before we transitioning into the high school method of things They had an end of the year school trip And it was a three-day trip to camp wanona Which from where I live coach bus was four to six hours, I believe and um The park that it is located in is actually bigger than the province of pei if you're kanda, you know what pei is Or know where it is of size of it. Sorry um But anyways, so we went there And there's a lot of events. I loved archery. I loved a whole bunch of the stuff we were doing um, but what had happened and how I almost drowned Was kayaking which I've never been kayaking before but it was really fun. I did enjoy it It was a great experience except the fact that I almost drowned now How this happened? I think this might have been day two or late day one um Depending on when we got there. I can't honestly remember that because it was so long ago, but These kayaks it wasn't that it was a small kayak. Um, it was just snug. There was ones that were more roomier And so when I got in this kayak were the whole everybody the whole class. So I would say close to 50 people 40 50 people were all in this the beach area all on kayaks um All having a blast learning to kayak and then a tea one of the teachers actually decided. Okay. It's time to start trying to flip kids Needless to say I kind of blame the counselors for this They never really explained what to do when you flip And I was the first one to get flipped in my kayak And go under the water So I've been trying to think of how to explain this in a video Let's say my hand is the uh kayak So Getting in the kayak my legs went in And this is kind of my head not sticking out and whenever he flipped me. I'm under the water Well where I figured I'll just escape and get out um As soon as I went under the water My back flipped up and pinned me to it And I'm flailing my arms and everybody thought oh, he's just joking to that nobody Tried to help me or saved me and I was actually drowning Uh at the time And I think only one girl caught on I think she realized she's like and she started bawling I'm saying uh, I think needs help which I really did because I was at that point drowning And when my back pinned up against it because the back of it was raised up more than I think some of the other ones were My back kind of just gave and I was kind of stuck that I couldn't get free So now as I'm under the water, I think I kind of just gave up and said screw it And whatever happens happens and whenever I did that my legs kind of freed out and I just slid right out So now I know what to do if I actually flip but nobody really explained us that That day which to me is sad whenever you're you have this many kids all from around Canada or Ontario maybe Um going different times in the year different schools different events different stuff like that You would take the time to explain stuff like this because that could have ended really bad and I could have a potentially um died that day but The rest of that uh was fun the problem I had was the teacher was kind of pissed Not that I almost drowned or anything like that. He was more pissed because he had to stop Uh helped me take my kayak out of the water Get a bigger not not a bigger sized kayak, but one of the ones that were more roomier in them Uh bring it back from the water. So that gave him less time to be kayaking the rest of the The time because he had actually helped me to go and do that. So I will say that other than that canoeing There was a bitch The reason I say that is because we Meaning me my friend my cousin went into one. Uh, sorry canoe. We went into one canoe Uh, we're doing the late night canoeing the whole Class so everybody from our school when we're in our pajamas. So we weren't ready to go into water And we got the last canoe sadly. It was duct taped. No joke covered in duct tape Didn't have a problem with it while we did we did raise concerns, but they just didn't acknowledge it. They said it's fine. So Us being kids. We said, okay, it must be fine So we get in it We start canoeing couple minutes later we realize It's starting to fill up the water We managed to canoe to another part which isn't owned by our camp Needless to say we got out They told us we can't we have to get back in and go back. So we were pissed off And we were we were getting towed so we could go a little bit faster So people were holding on to our canoe while canoeing theirs and we were trying to go as fast as we could They told us it wouldn't fill up. Well at this point it was halfway, maybe three quarters of the way full We were back maybe six No, 10 feet from the dock Wet the rest of the way and we were soaked um But yeah, I I almost drowned and then that happened And there's a few other things that happened that day But unfortunately, I am out of time. This is just a quick little simple story time video for you guys Of a couple little things that happened at camp. It was camp onona. By the way, if I did not mention it I can't remember if I mentioned that or not but guidance counselor guidance counselors the counselors at the camp didn't really Explain anything and I don't think we're prepared to be counselors for a camp that had this many kids coming in every week every day type situation Especially when you give a give them a duct taped canoe And it fills up with water and within the first couple minutes and you say it's fine So you have them get back in it and then it sinks by the time you get back Like to me that was just poor poor management poor decision-making on their part um And with me almost drowning I feel that they should have acknowledged it a little bit better and maybe explained it Or maybe it's a learning experience for them too. Maybe now they know Shit, we got to go and um explain to the these kids when you flip You know try to release your legs and slide right out, which I didn't know and I got pinned Um, so it's not really their fault, but they should have explained how to get out So I would have known if I would have known I don't think that would have happened and I wouldn't have almost drowned But anyways, this video is longer than I think it had to be And I will see you guys in the next one Um, this is story time number four, I believe Number five number six are going to be out soon I'm going to be trying to do it weekly every tuesday as long as my hours I mean I get tuesdays off from work. I will continue that if work starts to pick up again Not that I care much anymore, but if work starts to pick up you'll receive it once a week on whatever day off I get that week So just look forward to that and I did make a playlist. So go check out all the previous ones. I done Uh, I done did and I'm going to continue to upload them in the playlist section So I will see you guys in the next one. I'm done rambling, but uh, yeah, I almost died And I just take care peace
