hey guys it's whitney and welcome to my channel today
i am going to be trying to get my phone out of the lake
and if you're wondering how it happened basically me and blakely were out on the canoe it's the
middle of winter by the way we were out on the canoe and it was really cold so our hands like
frozen so we were trying to go we were trying to paddle back and we could barely make it
and we finally did and we were trying to get the canoe up back onto the dock
and i said hang on i grabbed my phone and i was going to put my phone on the dock
and as i was doing that my hands were so numb that the phone just slipped out me and blakely both go
and it just it sunk so fast we stuck a ladder down there to see how deep it was
and it's a good 20 feet supposedly the iphone 11s are water resistant
um to like six meters or something i might be wrong on that i'm hoping none of the water got
in because i have a lot of tick tock drafts and photos that i don't want to lose our plan is to
take the pool cleaner um scooper and attach the gopro on it and then put the gopro down
and then like we have an app where you can see what's on the gopro so then we're gonna
look for it and then if we see it we'll scoop it up but our only concern is that um
the signal of the gopro won't reach the phone and we won't be able to see it or maybe we won't
even be able to find it we probably won't find it i'm just gonna be honest because it's really deep
and it could have gone anywhere when i dropped it because there's 20 feet for it to go anywhere but
we'll never find it if we don't look for it so that's what we're gonna do
here's our setup
we've zip tied the gopro onto our scooper we have the light right here gopro scooper wishes luck
it says online that the signal won't reach but we're still gonna try it we're gonna try our best
and if the signal doesn't reach then i guess we'll just feel around for it i don't know
all right so this is around where it happened we had this green canoe right here and me and
blakely were trying to pull it up so we pulled it up right here and we were holding on to the sides
and i was trying to get out and i dropped it right around here
this area it's really cold so it says that it's my foot oh
okay so we've connected the gopro there's my dad's foot right there
all right i say we just dunk it in see how long it lasts okay do you want to screen record that maybe
i'm not sure if that's gonna do much better or not all right
he's gotta get it out of there all right gonna go in
all right i think we lost the signal
okay
okay i've hit the bottom that's good all right now what
dad's doing a run with the camera because we couldn't find anything last
time
have you hit bottom yet no
it gets deeper as you go down by the way even if we do find it yeah i know i got stuck over
there too even if we do find it how will we know where the camera was when it's hot
that's a tough one girl if we do see it this is going to be recording if we to get our reaction
you don't think it'll be like buried i think the only way i could i could
there it is oh my god there it is
go back
oh my god how does it look there's water in between the case but that doesn't matter
okay guys we found my phone on the camera so we're gonna double check we're gonna put the
camera back down make sure we know where it is and then we're gonna scrape the seafloor and try and
get it and i'm a little nervous because we've seen it and i'm afraid that if we stir it up
we might not be able to find it again but that's good news we have hope
we saw it on the video we're gonna try again
oh is it right on top of it yes right there oh my gosh just a little bit towards closer to the
okay so we saw my phone again it's right
at this crack here we know exactly where it is it's all about luck now we just need to
hopefully have it in the right spot and we're gonna scoop it up unfortunately there's a ton
of rocks right where my phone is so hopefully we're scooping up my phone and not the rocks
but let's go it's already recording all right this is right at right at the crack here
worst case
get it dig it in there did you get stuck
did you skip something
oh
that's so frustrating
look at how close we get it's right there oh my gosh we're gonna get it
there there it is you scratch from my phone
be careful when you bring it up so it doesn't fall out
we couldn't get it so we're at best buy right now i hope that i'm hoping that it's
not too busy so they actually like have phones because sometimes they run out so we'll see
so that was also a failure we could not get a new phone because we did not have the old phone so the
only way to do that is to contact straight through apple not best buy so we're gonna go home we
might try and get it again just because we're not quitters that was our waste so that was a waste of
time except for braxton because he got i gotta put my charger so it's the next day and we're going
to walmart to get a wetsuit because for some reason sterling wants to get my phone for me
i can't believe you i can't believe you would do that for me he's getting coffee cake of course i
gotta get my coffee with my coffee and cake it's gonna be so cold i know it's going to be colder
all right we'll see you in march then thank you bye-bye
temperature of the pool is about 41 degrees 42 42 or something like that all right so the lake will
be a little colder than that so the plan is we're going to bring the ladder down and we're going to
have sterling kind of ease his way into the water and then he's going to dive down i've been saying
that it's 20 feet but we actually figured out it's only 12. so that's very good because it's
just like a deep pool so he's just gonna dive down try and find it he has goggles and then
when he comes up we have towels that are ready for him i still can't believe he's doing this
let's see this is scary and it's not even down there so
don't do this at home you can still bail out i'm not so sure about the rock honestly
i think if i just swim down yeah use the ladder i'll hold the ladder down
remember the phone should be about where this is give or take
just in case
hello
um not good
that is awesome thank you sir thank you i hope it still works like i said if you i
put in a bag of rice overnight it'll probably you know take the case off right
dad dad you have the phone okay so we've had my phone in rice for the past like
30 hours and i'm gonna try and see if it works now it was in the water for three days
okay so see all the scratches on my screen protector that's from us trying to get
it with the net but us failing i'm just gonna take it off because that bothers me
all right moment of truth
all right so it's dead because it was at like 20 a week ago when i dropped it
and so it makes sense that it would be dead i'm hoping this doesn't fry the insides
okay i'll check back with you in 10 minutes
check back with you in five minutes
this is a good sign
oh my gosh it's working
there it is
wow
let's see if the photos are here
oh my gosh i'll show you guys some of the photos that we took but i got them all back
my phone's working a little delayed
because um it's like at one percent right now but i'm getting texts that were sent to me
a little glitchy but that'll probably fix
wow
all right guys well if you ever drop your phone
if you guys ever drop your phone in the water please do not give up because we almost left
my phone in the lake for eternity and turns out it was working fine so
that's crazy in conclusion my iphone 11 was 12 feet deep in murky lake water for
three days and three nights and i got it out put it in rice for about 30 hours and now it
seems to be working perfectly fine so unless something happens in the next couple hours
i think we're in good shape so thank you guys so much for watching and i'll see you next time bye
you
