Hey everyone! :) We just read some of your comments after posting the video, and you have no idea how much your kind words fuel us to keep going further and deeper in telling stories around the world. Forever grateful to have you all here. Here’s to a wild year ahead! ⚡
If you ever need a seasoned, off-the-radar hacker with a sharp mind and a light footprint, hit me up. No camera time or at least a blurred face, definitely no ego,, just pure technical firepower. I thrive in the details, the unseen layers where real innovation happens. I've got global connections, including government circles, and a deep understanding of the evolving cyber landscape. You guys should definitely do a cybersecurity deep dive, visit the top five 'hacker hotspots' in the world. In this new era of tech, a series like that wouldn’t just attract the next-gen crowd, it’d pull in everyone. And let’s be real,, you already know who I am, or at least you’ve heard the whispers. But let’s keep that under the radar for now. Been rocking with your content since 2016,, never missed a drop. Keep pushing boundaries. Cheers.😎

Capitulation to the masses of manipulated uninformed baseless fans will be a tarnish on your reputation that will only be forgotten by those aforementioned fans. There is probably still time for a bit of self analysis before you are completely ideologically captured. 🍄

"You can almost hear the stars..." Steffan is a very deep person. Being a motivational speaker comes naturally to him. Bless you, Steffan.
Proper shout out to Quentin for the cinematography!! The visuals are breathtaking
He is great! Check out his youtube channel :) @quentinbuggia
Thanks a lot !! 🩵
@@QuentinBuggia Amazing work!!
62 Years old and looking like that and being as energetic and active ! Ma Shaa Allah !
Amazing how living one with nature does to your body.
A guy born in a cave on an island in Yemen knows more English than some of my relatives who have been in America for decades... Abdullah is incredible
Been waiting for this video for weeks. Super hyped. Keep up this type of content, showing us the and the world places and cultures that we'll likely never get to see for ourselves.
Happy to have you here, let us know what you thought about the video after you seen it :)
The people of Yemen are so inspiring. Hope we get to see a war-free Yemen one day, thank you Yes Theory for always highlighting pertinent issues worldwide
8:43 how is Thomas so nonchalant about the camel almost biting his hand off? hahahaha the quiet ''oooh'' makes it so funny
How I’ve missed your videos. But it was well worth the wait. Excited for the new year and what’s to come for y’all ❤️
Bot
As soon as I saw "island" and "most dangerous country" I knew it was going to be Socotra. Such a beautiful place and definitely high on my bucket list
Fantastic video! I love hearing the thoughts of the people. The peacefulness!
But, sometimes you had a woman from Yes talking to the local woman. I want to know about their lives, their inner thoughts, their hope and dreams...
same! I also mentioned it. I wished they had talked to local women too!
Such a magical adventure together 🎬🩵
We are so blessed that you were on this adventure with us Mr Buggia!
Thank you YesTheory for inspiring me with every video. Again and again. It gives me the feeling that I am coming back to life and it makes me aware of what my purpose is in this life.
My wife and I had our first child a couple months ago and I cannot wait to to share your experiences with her while we create our own. Your optimistic perspective of the world and it's people is so refreshing. Congrats on all your well-deserved success!
Oh, guys! This was just unbelievably beautiful to have the pleasure to watch. You guys being there on the ground must have felt so blessed!? What an incredible part of the world this is. While the landscape and views are phenomenal, I'd get on the next flight tomorrow - if I could - just to be surrounded by the people of Socotra! Thanks so much for sharing another corker of a video, much love, Rx (*adds to bucket list places to visit!)
I love how @24:36 Staffan is in a tent in a remote forest on a remote island and next to him is his laptop and phone lmao. The grind never stops!
We had to backup footage 😅
Who else loves yes theory
We all do, that's why we're here
First comment to get likes. But yes, of course we love Yes Theory.
Anyone who doesn’t… has serious issues
Your mom
9.37 million of us do
I was truly moved when I heard how long it takes for the Dragon Blood trees to fully grow! Seeing how many of them they were and knowing that each of them has been there for at least 200 years just made it even more beautiful. Nature is truly incredible.
Welcome back! Hope you had a great break, can‘t wait to watch this! :)
Thank you :) We all recharged our batteries and are so excited for what this year has to bring to us all. Thanks for being here!
@ well, I‘ll be here as always, can‘t wait :D love the video so far, the cinematography and editing is top tier as always! And it just shows again that governments don‘t make a country, the people do
I just realized how dedicated these men actually are. we should all appreciate them while we have them 🤩
Yes Theory is the best channel out there 💙
Epic as usual. Good to see and it is so nice to see that there are friendly places even where the reputaions are a bit wonky. Keep on doing what you are doing
Your content brings relief and calmness to my soul guys, being patiently waiting and you have delivered beyond my wildest expections ❤you inspire me to explore not only my mother land but also got out of my comfort zone, big THANK YOU Yes theory
Hell yeah brother. Just got done binging your content and I've literally never wanted to do something more than what you guys do. I'm gonna get it done.
Saw this island on social media a few years ago… it’s even prettier than I imagined
Thank you for sharing these magic experiences with us. 🙏 As a woman, some of the experiences you guys get to have are likely unattainable due to maintaining personal safety. So it’s nice to watch and occasionally dream about seeing remote parts of the earth like this.
I’m commenting right after the intro. Already gave it a thumbs up. I freaking love you guys. This is such a good video. Can’t wait to continue to explore the world.
The landscapes are breathtaking! And so is the kindness of the people ❤
I can tell this video is going to be a banger!
I have never been this early to your videos!
been binging the videos like three at a time, just finished another and seeing a new one go up right after 🙌🏽
stunning scenery
Awesome video. I am so glad you are back! I come away from videos like this feeling recharged in my hope for the goodness of our humanity.
We live in turbulent and uncertain times. A lot of what keeps us apart is a desire of a few to prevent people from truly getting to know others and realize we all want the same thing. Love, respect, and community are global values spared by everyone.
I cried to this because it is so beautiful and you managed to show us also the feelings of the place. thank you for being!
I really enjoyed this one, especially after you guys are back after a long time.
The energy was overwhelming and also the love and peace.
Can’t wait for the next video. Love you guys❤
A wonderful video! It certainly seems like paradise for both visitors and the men of the island. I wonder how it is for the wonen of the island who clearly cannot be on camera...
I love watching you guys. I always learn and get to watch love of the countries and each other. It is so humbingly to see how a culture exists so differently, but so peaceful & lovingly too. ❤ Roza Bedad here ❤
Awww❤ Stefan’s spirit gets me every time. I could feel the loving and joyful energy thru my screen in this one. You 2 are very lucky imo to experience a place like that, I’d love to go to the places you go to but especially this one ! ❤ xo
I would literally leave everything behind and travel with them. I love their adventures and the connections they make with people.
i still remember meeting Thomas in the Last ever Project Iceman premiere in Amsterdam , and i told him u need to Go to Yemen its best country in the world and after i left i rememeber said to myself well our country is going from worse to even worse situations everyday i dont think they will ever go to Yemen . but this makes me happy that u guys showcased one of the beutiful things about Yemen and i hope u guys get to experiance Mainland Yemen in the future . Its also emotional for me since i am from Mainland Yemen , but particulary north yemen. and its even more complicated for me to go to Socotra and i dont think i will even go there in the near future but am glad u guys did it . thank u guys !
This place reminds me of home (CNMI 🇲🇵). The welcoming community, the love of the sea, and the preservation of nature. I hope one day Yes Theory will come and visit and tell our story just as beautifully. Thank you for sharing Socotra to the world!
Wow my wanderlust is off the charts! Thank you once again for bringing these amazing stories to the world. As a marine scientist, I love learning about coastal areas I had never heard of before - those fish were huge!! The seascapes and landscapes are breathtaking! The people and the culture seemed so welcoming and really remind you that it's the simple things that matter the most 💙
28:46 its astonishing for me how even if nothing else reached to the most remotest part of the earth, its religion which travelled to many of the remotest location
Wow! What a beautiful place, Socotra, never heard of it. And those sand dunes are the most picturesque. The roaming goats give the island a character like no other island
The title of the video did not give away your destination, so when I started watching and realized you went to Socotra I was so hyped. I only knew this Island by the stories and myths. Really enjoyed some actual footage.
Definitely added to visit list, great video, thank you for sharing
Finally you went to yemen I've been waiting to see you guys experience the beauty of yemen ever since i started watching you guys!!! Much love so glad you guys had fun in yemen
Our planet is beautiful.
Yay! Your back! My weekly "pick me up" is back. I am truly excited and inspired by your show each episode. It reveals such humanity 💖 and my heart beams with joy just watching it ❤️
I would never see anything like this without Yes Theory. So grateful!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderfully eye opening experience of Yemen! Never have i seen in a nation with more goats than women.
Thank you so much for posting, I love your videos!! ❤ Helps me through the tough times. One day I’m going to get out there and seek discomfort!
The trees in Zelda Breath of the Wild HAVE to be heavily inspired by the dragon blood tree.
*Thanks for sharing your journey with us* 🙂
I've never seen a place this beautiful and untouched before absolutely breath taking
I so enjoyed every second of this! My son was in the Navy and spent 18 months in Yemen…it is a very dangerous place..I’m amazed you guys got to take such a trip. Socorta was beautiful and the people were awesome ❤❤
I don't think you understand how long I've been waiting for this video to come out!!😊
I‘ve always wanted to see a video about this island
I love yes theory so I much! I’ve always wanted to travel but you guys have inspired me to travel and actually see the different cultures and beautiful people who live in these different countries, to actually explore and not just stay at a resort. ❤
I have no. words. What a most precious experience - so happy this could be yours, Thomas and Staffan!! And, of course, THANK YOU for taking us along❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am always crying watching your videos. This connection to other humans, full of love, without shyness. The connection to nature. The simplicity without all that fake bullshit we strive for in the west. I love it. Thank you for showing this to us.
This sound like a crazy experience so happy for you guys
This is truly a special place. The people there are happy with small things. I wish I could also be like them in my everyday life. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story of people and this Majestic and specila country with us. Take care and for more meaningful adventure!
thank you for this episode, this one has really warmed my heart in a challenging time in life.
Incredible video! You are so inspiring to explore the world and all the different cultures out there. Love your work!
The cinematography in this video is next level !! Well done Quentin
Fascinating perspective of a place I had no idea existed. Stunning imagery and storytelling. Thanks for sharing.
watch these every morning when i eat breakfast, love learning from you guys
Yay! Can't wait for all the adventures this year❤
This is so beautiful to see. I wish the world could be more like this island and it's residents
The moment I saw the thumbnail I was hoping it would be about Socotra! Has been on my bucketlist for a while, great to see a video from you!
Such a beautiful story….amazing people so peaceful while going thru so much turmoil.
Once again I’m in awe! Thank you. ❤
OMG, ive always wanted to visit socatra and you brought this breathtaking island so much closer to me! THANK YOU!
Yayyyy a new yes theory video!!
❤❤❤
Such a beautiful, precious place, really hope it stays untouched, Yemen people deserve this to be as divine as it is forever.
Visit but always with respect. I think this was the best video so far guys, is so pure brought tears to my eyes. Hope one day I can visit it and absorbed it in all it's glory ❤
Good afternoon gentlemen. I truly enjoyed this weeks adventure. I live right in the middle of the USA in St. Louis MO. Never been able to do much traveling, So I leave vicariously through you . Yemen looked like a magical place. Thanks for sharing.
Your journey is always a pleasure to watch!
some of the best and important content i have seen ever!
I kept coming and looking through your channel for more videos. Thanks for the upload! Felt like something was missing
I have been dreaming about visiting Socotra. I am excited to see your perspective on this place. Hopefully I can visit soon and it doesn't get too crowded after you and Lost Leblanc made videos about it.
Socotra has been the highest place on my bucket list it's so beautiful I hope one day I'll be able to go
Let’s go! Pumped for the stories to continue in 2025!
Beautiful video, yet I couldn’t help but notice that except for a few little girls towards the end, there weren’t any women to be seen. I wonder if they are repressed, and what their life is like in Socotran culture
Knew immediately which island was meant. A pure dream! I was able to visit it a few months ago 🥰
It’s the people that makes this place even more magical
And from the second they stepped on the island, not one woman was seen, or shown, during the entirety of the video. Not sure what that says about the culture there.
Oh shut up. You know our culture our women are modest. There is some RUclips videos show the socotry women and Yemen women. They just not in this video.
Keep crying
Sadly women do not want be filmed, we tried asking a few but none of them wanted to. That being said, Yemen was indeed shockingly conservative in a way that even Syria and Iraq wasn’t. It was tough to come to terms with that side of the culture and we wanted to adress it but didn’t find an appropriate moment to do so.
Matt, I finally got you read your book. Loved it! Now trying to find a new yes-member to pass it on to!
Havent watched in a while, life has been busy, but I will be catching up. This one was another great video
This is my favourite Yes Theory video ever! Much love ❤
thanks for helping me and my shocks in life. you guys are my family.
Been waiting for this video for weeks. Finally! ❤
YAYYYYYY a new videoo❤❤❤❤ love it! Thanks guys for sharing this
29:02 Abdullah is beautiful, inside and out. You can feel the good energy he radiates, I would love to see more from him, somehow, whatever that may be 🙂
This is has to be the most beautiful paradise. ❤
7:52 Goat is like "Dude, wtf are you doing? I'm here for the food, not your shenanigans!"
Yeah, I've been sending in Socotra with videos and challenges! Already fantastic!
Thank you YesTheory to remind us to live fully in the moment and taking us on your new adventures of a lifetime ❤
Definitely one of my favorite episodes yet
Eye opening. I cannot believe how Abdullah lives on this same planet. Brilliant perspective. Thanks guys!! 🎉
amazing video as always!! thanks for sharing this beautiful place
What a beautiful place
The best yt channel is back with a banger
