"Deadliest Catch" star Sig Hansen has ice water running through his veins, as he is used to fishing in the most dangerous waters in the world, but even the salty captain doesn't mess around when it comes to health and safety around COVID-19.

Hansen and "DC" narrator Mike Rowe teamed up for a conversation to talk about the importance of social distancing and protection during the coronavirus pandemic and gave some insight into how he is making sure his family stays healthy.

In the video, released by Discovery, Rowe wants to know how the captain of the Northwestern is getting on during the pandemic, and feels that Sig's take on things could "help the country."

Sig doesn't need to think long before explaining that he's taking things seriously. He says that whenever he goes out in public to a bank or store, he's wiping things down and being extremely "critical" of cleanliness.

"I'm afraid," Sig admitted, adding "I'm not the kind of guy that's afraid, and I'm telling you right now I'm afraid."
