I got a cold and spring allergy. And lived in a cave. Winter was cold af. I did scratch my leg on a rock when I was fishing but I was prepared; I brought some bandages. And I also got stung about a hundred times by both mosquitoes and wasps. The bee didn't really mind me.
Coolest thing you have ever done.

Cool =/= special, necessarily.
But in any case, to labour the point - *sigh* - it's the coolest thing I have ever done.
I make no claim that it's the coolest thing ever, anywhere. I'd be willing to bet a shiny US dollar that it isn't. (And I'm no gambler. Neither do I have a shiny US dollar, but that's another issue.)

So that's how the more peaceful Scots get their stab on.
It's hard to say what gets defined as cool, I fought in a few semi-knockdown rules karate tournaments and I think it's one of the best things I've ever done with my life. But more in a personal growth way than a strictly cool one.
I drove across country last year from Georgia to San Francisco and back in 9 days with my undergrad roommate. That was really cool just to see so much of the country and so many different landscapes in just a few days.
One of the coolest little tricks I've ever tried, never managed to land it flush though

Getting angry and screaming around in Romania embassy because they treat us like bugs, and the security with gun went to secure me outside, and they were pretty nice to me and admit the peoples in the embassy are quite a jerk while they do that just because they should do their job.

Giving an intro/101 class on D/s hypnosis to a roomful of like-minded couples, and trancing close to half of them as a demonstration. For a professional hypnotist that might be another day at the office, but for me it was pretty awesome.

You guys are probably tired of hearing of this, but probably hiking over 4 days and 90km to Machu Picchu, and then spending 3 and a half hours making the ascent of Machu Picchu mountain. Hiking at high altitudes was not something I was ready for.. It was definitely the toughest thing I ever asked my body to do.
It was insanely crazy and by the time it was day 5 and we were making that ascent I was sort of in a weird trance. That's what it felt like anyway. My left ankle was hurting, my muscles refused to move, I was chewing on coca leaves, and.. all sorts of chemicals were washing through my brain and body (I have no idea what the brain releases in situations like these, but it was releasing a whole crapload of stuff. I could feel it.)
So I felt weird. But finally getting to that top was such an unbelievable feeling, I'd say it qualifies as the "coolest" thing I've done. The climax of the hike was me reaching the summit and erupting in joy. The last 5 days were behind me.. such crazy amounts of walking, in such crazy (for me) conditions.. I couldn't believe I had done it. I felt feelings at that moment that I have never felt before, nor I have felt since. It was an indescribable experience and I will never forget it. The views down onto the Machu Picchu ruins were amazing too.. as were the views of the surrounding mountains.
It was a magical place and time. If I had a teleporter, that's the place I'd want to return to right away - the summit of Machu Picchu mountain.

That's quite cool. And I'm not sick of hearing it... glad you've been well these years.
Coolest thing I've done? Probably canoeing across the US-Canada border under cover of darkness and only starlight. It's okay, it wasn't illegal since we cleared it with customs! Barring that, maybe getting asked to play some harmonica with some strangers in a pub in Knoxville?

I was once instrumental in getting the Baseball-Almanac updated.
We were playing trivia. I asked what pitcher was the only one to have an immaculate inning* in the World Series. My answer was chanllanged with a reference to the Baseball-Almanac. I produced the pitch by pitch from game 5 of the 1985 World Series, which settled the argument.
Some time later, one of the participants posted that he had sent the pitch by pitch to the Baseball-Alamanac and they had updateed their page to include the occasion.
