To me, God is cold. You could say that I think of the cold as a noble force. It's bringing me back to the inner nature the way it was meant to be.

Wim Hoff

Introduction

Wim Hof has proven under scientific scrutiny that he can stay submerged at freezing temperatures for nearly two hours without his core body temperature changing.

Hof has also climbed Mount Everest in shorts and run a marathon in the desert without any water.

At first, scientists thought that Hof was an anomaly, but he has shown that by using his breathing and meditation exercises, anybody can do the same.

In this VICE documentary, journalists Matt Shea and Daisy-May Hudson meet Hof and try to learn his techniques, while interviewing scientists to discover the potential medical ramifications of Hof's methods.
