More Frozen Turkey: Watch Russian Guys Drag A Sunken SUV Out Of A Frozen Lake With Logs, Rope, And Human Power!

We have to thank our man Arild in Norway for the tip to this great video featuring a group of crafty Russian dudes extracting a sunken Honda SUV out of a frozen Russian lake with smarts, wood, and rope. There are no other trucks involved, no cool machines, just a basic understanding of physics and mechanical advantage to score a big time win in non-dramatic but 100% BangShift approved fashion. While it is true that we bag on Russia for the endless stream of crazed dashcam videos that flow out of the country on a near daily basis, there are somethings exhibited in this video that illustrate the Russian spirit and some of their history. These are hardscrabble, crafty people. From the little we know of Russian society, it isn’t really an environment where people are coddled or patted on the head for every little thing. It seems a lot like a place where people value strength, toughness, smarts, and the ability to fight their way through any situation, no matter how rough.

The Honda obviously hit a soft spot in the ice and commenced to do an impression of the sub from The Hunt For Red October. There’s no way to tell how long it has been in this position, but let’s assume it only happened a short while before the guys flipped the camera on to show off their recovery skills. Off in the distance you can see some of those sail powered ice racer boat things that guys zip around iced up ponds and lakes with. When we translated the information on the video it seemed to indicate a lack of wind cancelled the plans of the racers and maybe that is when someone sunk their car horsing around on the ice. Anyway, the happy ending here is that the Honda does live again, according to the above mentioned video description.

We dig the fact that these guys just handle this deal like they have done it 10 times before. The whole operation is very well coordinated and dare we say, kind of fun looking! One thing about the video which may annoy you is the Russian heavy metal song playing in the background, but whatever. Watching these guys fish the car out of its ice fishing hole is really cool.

Congrats Russian dudes, you are 100% BANGSHIFT APPROVED!

Thanks for the tip Arild!
