Hi friends, it would mean the world if you supported our ability to keep making videos like this one and our fundraising efforts here through Seek Discomfort's new drop live now:
🌎 For US & Worldwide (minus Europe): https://www.seekdiscomfort.com/
🌍 For Europe: https://eu.seekdiscomfort.com/

Thanks to our fantastic guide and friend Aya Salih @aya__0_0/@safraty__ for making that trip so memorable. Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you ever want to travel to Baghdad.

Then just a note from Thomas here, I am super grateful and humbled to have the ability to create and share stories like this one. I know this isn’t the most algorithm-optimized, easy to consume, but I do feel that we need more stories like this more than the mindless YouTube challenge content. So I do hope it resonates with you and that it can, as I say in the video, build a bridge or plant a seed for empathy within us. I appreciate any and all of your support whatever it looks like from liking, commenting or buying some Seek, all of it goes a lot further than you can imagine. Much love to you all, see you on the next one.

Thank you to Aya for taking us, follow and contact her here:

Spending 24 Hours with Wim Hof 2020: https://youtu.be/rCYXM1Z0QVo

Dislaimer: The following features stunts performed either by professionals or under the supervision of professionals. Accordingly, the producers insist that no one try to recreate or re-enact any stunt or activity performed in this film.

We've admired the pioneering work of Wim Hof for years now from afar. This January however we got an opportunity to spend four days with him in the mountains of Poland. We didn't know what to expect. We had no idea that Wim was at a place in his life where he wanted to push his findings to the next level....we had no clue that we were his experiments in proving just how powerful the mind is.

If you want to learn more about Wim's method, go visit:

Thank you to Wim (@iceman_hof) and Enahm Hof (@enahm_hof) for making this possible and for letting us into their lives.

Thank you to our incredible producer Sky Cowans (@skycowans) You can check out her amazing video on how this crazy adventure came together and more on her personal experience here: http://bit.ly/SkysVideo

A huge thank you to our badass team of editors and partners who crunched this documentary down in 5 days...that shit is unheard of. Our very own Thomas Dajer (@thomasdajer) and Colin and Samir (@colinandsamir).
