Wim Hof first caught the attention of scientists when he proved he was able to use meditation to stay submerged in ice for 1 hour and 53 minutes without his core body temperature changing. Since then, he’s climbed Mount Everest in his shorts, resisted altitude sickness, completed a marathon in the Namib Desert with no water and proven under a laboratory setting that he’s able to influence his autonomic nervous system and immune system at will.
Almost everything Wim has done was previously thought to be impossible – but he’s not a freak of nature.
To demonstrate that any human can learn his methods, Wim offered to teach Matt Shea and Daisy-May Hudson to climb a freezing cold mountain in their shorts without getting cold. But when Matt and Daisy signed up for the training, they had no idea that the so-called Iceman was planning to lead them on a psychedelic journey across Europe that circled the chasm between science, spirituality and mystery.

25:38 "HI!" "bitch wuh"
One wonders if the couple that made the climb in shorts would be able to do it so easily again without the presence of Wim. He provides a lot of encouragement and support along the way, and the desire not to fall short in his eyes would be a strong motivator. Interesting stuff.???
maaazziizoooooo
the sound is really horrible on this one… its muffled
I would like to study his method
I believe he climbed Kilimanjaro with shorts and not Everest!
The guy can do all this but I can’t even put my back against the wall in the shower
The next Jack LaLane?
A true Legend?
I can think of something scary and my heart rate will increase along with my blood pressure…….we Pollocks are amazing
Wow mother holy mama
Put Wim Hof in an Avengers future film.. to the marvel realm put him.
There's also a woman in Russia that wears only dress and high heels in Winter, which can be a much lower temperature than Everest! Humans are powerful, it's all in the mind

Way to go! Some people are very lucky enough to turn into a great business and brand something that others had been doing , but in silence and amateurishly.
