So I'm Icelandic and just wanted to add a few things from my experience as an Icelandic person. Most people I know regularly go to public swimming pools and most of them do get in the cold "buckets", I do every time I go but I keep my face and hands out of the water so I can stay in for a minute or few. yes we do sell water, but nobody but tourists buy them because you can get the exact same water from any sink. also if you go to a hot spring, don't drink the water it's full of dirt from the floor, other people and skin cells from other people and last but not least I cringed so hard when he went in the waterfall because that's how tourists die in Iceland.
Thank you for clarifying this as I was completely confused when he took water from the river. I think that people must mean that he could take water from the tap but that he misunderstood.
@@Sabrina_Pi Icelandic here, the water in most non-glacial rivers is extremely clean and full of minerals and very delicious. You can drink from tap but you can drink from rivers as well
The clean spring water anyone can drink , as they are doing in the video, and the water with bubble and little teast of lemon f.ex. is popular to buy . Not just the tourist buy water in a bottle also Icelanders when they go to the airport or on a flight. But the big water bottles for homeuse we dont sell. But you can also take a empty bottle with you to airport and fill it up an the bathroom, that is how good the water is. Many swimming pools in Iceland now have a cold tub. Cold therapy is a fast-growing popular activity in Iceland and is thought to be great for stress relief, to reduce inflammation in the body, relieve pain and be good for recovering after a physically challenging activity. A quick dip in the 15°c or even colder water for about 10-30 seconds can be revitalizing. Cold therapy is not suitable for people with heart complications and you should never enter a cold pot when feeling cold! Steam baths are also a part of many of Iceland's swimming pools, enjoy the cleansing hot steam during your visit to the pool.
Really envy how your kids are being raised and being exposed to explore the big wide world along with you guys. Hope they grow up to be explorers like you. :)
as someone from iceland, this is more the just feel good. laying in a random warm puddle out of nowhere surrounded by nature does something to me on a deeeeeeep dna level. Great video, glad you enjoyed Iceland and happy to have you ❤
@@fellipedasilva99 yeah still peaceful but now the US just brought their most expensive warplanes full of nuclear warheads. Bastards dragging a peaceful nation into the wargames of aggressive superpowers. It was on the news here recently. 😕
I started showering cold in the end of my shower routine half a year ago. It really lifts my mood and gives me this energy after stepping out, instead of feeling sluggish and slow from all the warm water. So, I can definitely agree to Johnny here :D
@@maazkalim Johnny did A LOT of research about the Taylor machine and its very convulsed workings in relation to mcdonalds he has a video on it check it out.
Bathing in cold water is amazing. I've used a sauna my whole life, and love it, but 2-3 years ago I started swimming in the ocean all year long. It begun when I was diagnosed with clinical stess, since I had heard it could have positive effect on people with depression, I thought I would give it a shot, since stress and depression has some overlapping symptoms. It was very effective to me, because of the adrenaline/dopamine kick and the mometary 'stop' of my racing mind. I begun doing it almost every day while I was on a sick leave, and continued as I gradually came back to work. I still do it once in a while, not because I have stress anymore, but because it makes me happy and refreshed.
Especially the part where he drinks untreated, unpurified stream water... Yummy microorganisms :) Honestly, I like this guy, but that was a terrible example.
I know that this might sound stupid or a minor thing but I wanted to thank you for using both Celsius and Farenheit to talk about temperatures. I know the reasons people use one or the other and the pros in favour of one or the other. I use Celsius because that's what I learnt growing up and more often than not I don't know the equivalent in Farenheit so thank you.
As a European, I've watched so many American channels who stubbornly use Fahrenheit and don't bother showing the Celsius equivalent that I've actually memorized the conversion formula and can convert it in my head. °F -> °C: (n-32)/1.8 When converting in my head, I round off the denominator to 2 for simplicity.
@@GTAVictor9128 thank you! I was taught the formula in high school but I didn't have a need for it then so I forgot it. So thank you for the good advice 😄
Celsius is less precise that Fahrenheit. Typically, I’d prefer America join the rest of the world in the way things are measured, but I’m not convinced when measuring temperature.
You're a perfect example of a role model. A friend, a husband, a father, a family guy, a ROAD TRIP person, a journalist, a researcher, a video producer and above all, a good HUMAN! 💯

It’s been about a month now and I’ve been taking cold showers every morning. Yes the science behind this is great but what I found that is also rewarding is that I am less reliant on a system that isn’t sustainable. Meaning, I can take a shower anywhere I want with any type of water I want at any time I want. That type of self reliance makes me feel really strong. And the euphoric happy feeling is a weird thing I get halfway into the shower. It may be the placebo but I can attest it’s there.
Same experience here. Doing cold showers in the morning since over 2 years now and feeling better, stronger, more awake and less dependend on oil/gas-burning. Win-Win-Win for me ;-)
Placebo is real. Something having a placebo effect only means that the cause behind the final result is your own body and not the external agent. It doesn't mean there isn't an end resulting effect. I find people sometimes confuse that, and take away some of the power of placebo. It rocks.
@@cardboardtruck1009 few tips, - Work your way up to it. - Get a thermometer and try your darn-est to get 40 degrees. That's where the real benefits tend to come in. Good luck!
It’s interesting when Americans ask us Canadians what does zero mean in Celsius, and we say “the freezing point of water”... and then they start wondering why the hell do they use Fahrenheit
So, just a little heads up on internal body temperature from a medical perspective. 5:35 +/- a few degrees isn't inherently lethal, what matters is whether or not that altered temperature is sustained long enough to induce damage at the cellular level, and the time to induce damage is inversely proportional to the difference in temperature between your current temperature and your body's homeostatic set point (typically 98.6 F, but this actually varies between persons based on a bell-curve distribution, and is also relative to time of day, age, metabolic rate, etc). On the hot side, very high temperatures can denature proteins within cells, but a raised temperature is actually beneficial in many cases of infection. This is because higher temperatures can reduce the replication rate of, say, viruses, buying your immune system time to fight the infection. Another way to think of it is that the infection doesn't make your body hot, your body makes your body hot to turn the tide in your favor. Unpleasantries like thick mucus and a painful cough are positives that keep new and existing viruses out. On the cold side, studies have been done to show that cooling the body way way down can buy medical workers time to treat and transport patients. What comes to mind are patients that have drowned in cold water and were revived long after thanks to careful, strategic re-warming and respiratory support.
@@kevinlebo1634 well, that was said in a joking way, I laughed. I think that's a way too obvious inaccuracy so that you sence the irony and a video is more fun to watch.
I've been watching you since your time at Vox. I really like your down to earth, open minded way of exploring things with sincerity. I'm from Iceland and living abroad and getting to know other cultures has really hammered it home how fortunate we Icelanders are. Poetic landscapes, beautiful and dreadful, a young piece of earth that feels ancient at the same time. Unforgiving weather, as nature in itself is. A land of big contrasts, fire and ice. The winters are beautiful sad and solemn, and the summers short and fleeting. I really think it has a tendency to produce good, grounded humans though there will always be unlucky people anywhere, those who struggle. Iceland is not utopia but it is a stern but loving mother to its inhabitants.
Here in Iceland athletes will go a few minutes in freezing cold water and then the hot water. This makes muscles ease up and it makes you feel so comfortable, its unreal!
My mom is always like "we need to drink clean water that has been treated with a 200 step process, has 0.0000001% of the regular amount of bacteria in it, and be sealed in an airtight container or else we're all gonna get a cold and die" so I'm guessing that if my mom finds out this is a thing I'm never going to iceland
not on "Naked and Afraid" water...of course they are in much warmer locations...I had water like in Iceland in the Adirondacks....delicious fresh, freezing cold, mountain water to drink right out of the side of the rock!!!
Iceland is such a unique country. I've been there once, and the volcanic landscape makes you feel like you're on Mars or something when you're driving between cities. I did the blue lagoon hot springs, and it was awesome. Oh and I want one of the authentic sweaters, but they're expensive. Definitely want to visit again sometime!
I went to Iceland about 2 years ago and did most of the stuff Johnny did in this video and its genuinely amazing, I would definitely recommend to go here
Johnny, I do this all the time, I shower with hot water and the last 30 seconds I will turn the tap to the coldest settings and stand in there for a mere 20seconds. I feel that feeling all the time
I have no idea how Johnny posts a video each week and maintains such a high quality of content. It honestly feels illegal to get this level of quality each week or so.
The swedish word for saturday (Lördag) also means something like pool day or washing day in old swedish. So its not so much a islandic thing as it is probably more of a nordic thing.
We've been showering in Ice cold water for years at my household mostly due economic reasons but now you're telling me we've been avant garde all this time? What a way to start the day!
Yep I can confirm! Soaking in freezing cold water is a jarring experience at first, as your skin feels like its burning and your nerves are electrified to the max! As soon as you come out, the weather all of a sudden feels warm, and you feel renewed and energized! I have been showering with cold water for 2 years now, and every morning I feel more awake and active than before with my cosy hot water...
Pet peeve: He mentions that there are randomised, controlled studies about cold water immersion, then talks about a natural experiment which is neither randomised or controlled. Not all research is randomised and controlled, and in fact in anything about humans it mostly isn't because it wouldn't be ethical
@@auro2992 I can't speak to the ethical part, but the very nature of cold water immersion makes it difficult to do a proper blinded study. You could do randomized, controlled, but you'll always have the placebo affect of the cold water.
@@auro2992 To make a study you need to compare two different ways. It wouldn't be ethical to make half of the people get the treatment you think will work and half of them getting nothing or something se know is harmful. We can't compare things if we already think one is better because of "do no harm", you have To get the best alternative for pour patient. that's the ethical part. That's why to test a New treatment you study the New treatment VS the better one yet. Although i disagree that studies involving cold water would be unethical because he just listed the benefits of both cold and hot water. That's why comparing cold / hot water would be cool in my opinion : they might be avantages for your patient either way. Sorry if its not well explained, my english is rusty
For years I go to the gym, I wash off, jump in the pool, get in the jacuzzi, jump out, get in the pool and then sit in the sauna for 10 minutes. I feel AMAZING afterwards. Thank you Johnny for making this video. And you don’t have to live in Iceland to get these effects!
Love this video Johnny! I recently started cold sea swims here in Edinburgh, Scotland and in soo hooked right now. Its my 36th birthday today. Its gloomy outside and a bit rainy but I will be going to the beach and celebrate my life in the water being happy. I cannot care less about bad weather anymore since I started those cold dips, working out and jogging also before going to warm up. Feeling so alive and so much better, less depressed and stronger. It works just like you said it the video! yehey ;)
Hey I just wanted to thank you to put out Iceland such in a way that ive literally been saving my money since I saw your first video of Iceland to visit this place as soon as Covid goes away. Cheers mate from a guy in a small village of India. I hope I visit this heaven, soon.
I was fortunate enough to try this effect myself in the old public baths in Budapest! Getting into hot water feels good of course, but it doesn't even compare to the sensation of getting into freezing water, then getting into a hot pool right after. They had dual pools with steps between them for this purpose.
I'm impressed how you can take a transformative and personally meaningful experience from your life and turn it into such great content. Next Johnny Harris video be like "how a trip to Japan convinced me that pillows are unnecessary. I stopped using pillows for months now and have never felt better".
everybody who is vaccinated can visit Iceland. just today and tomorrow Iceland is expecting about 4000 people. It's still mainly from states but other countries are also comming.
@@fai.salrahman I will not get you place to sleep but i can help you with planning and avoiding tourists traps also we can meet for high five and a beer.
Good practice when filling a bottle in a stream is to point the opening downstream that way if a stick or other debris come down, it won't go right into you bottle.
@@Egerit100 Beach water rarely is still hot enough because it really has to be so hot it hurts a bit at least if you give it a bit of time. If it is not that hot it feels just awful.
This channel never dissapoints me, you literally put any kind of knowledge in this channel. From 1 country you can make many interesting stories from it. Thank you Johnny!
“A hot bath strengthens the women and weakens the men.” Said Glynis Johns as Mrs Firth in the movie, ‘The Sundowners’. A sexy voice and a sexy line. The voice of Glynis Johns as this experienced woman was so sexy. Still vivid in my mind 60 years later.
Johnny: Hey can I buy some water? Cashier: ummm just go get it from a river or a stream. That part was truly awesome. In the U.S. their is only a few places where you can do that and many of them are disappearing.
Denmark speaking. I am all for getting free water from nature, which is not always possible here either. But here all tapwater is 100% pure and drinkable.
@@troels1979 We get good tap water to that is always pure, but about 2-3 times a year we have to boil our water for about a week. We only get free water from nature are in shut ins and their is only about 500 left in the U.S. from the estimated 1 million
I'm an icelandic cashier amd I cringe so hard when people buy water. Like bro, just go to any public bathroom and fill your bottle, it's the same water basically. If you buy water in Iceland you are basically just paying someine else to fill a bottle with tap water for you.
We do this in the winter in Canada all the time. Every ski/snowboard trip we get we in the hot tub then jump in a snowbank, make some snow angels, then back in the hot tub. Rinse repeat. Its nice, especially when you're drinking.
Wow great video, I was always very skeptic about that Wim Hof guy, because he got like a cult vibe around him. I always associated an ice batch with that guy, like it was his idea, and denied it just all, however now you made it more clear with some analytical data, it feels more compelling.
I keep it a practice of getting the shower at least twice a week with shivering, painful cold water in the winter season for the past 4 years. you feel awakened. senses are at an all-time high. you can feel as if your skin is breathing. it's painful but soothing.
Ahah! That is why the Japanese live longer! Along with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, extended work years and aggressive government intervention have helped the Nagano region produce the longest life. Love you johnny keep up the good work!
Johnny: I’m in Iceland and I’m on one of the most popular beaches and it’s completely empty and it’s midnight. Also Johnny: Let’s talk about hot and cold water! …
Nice work. Very informative. I've been cold water swimming in Lake Superior. My goal is to swim, or at least dip in it, everyday until there is ice on the shore. The clarity and power you feel after coming out is amazing. I think you summed it up very well "it's like you're seeing the world for the first time". 100% true.

My mom is always like "we need to drink clean water that has been treated with a 200 step process, has 0.0000001% of the regular amount of bacteria in it, and be sealed in an airtight container or else we're all gonna get a cold and die" so I'm guessing that if my mom finds out this is a thing I'm never going to iceland
@@Egerit100 Your mom needs a doctor asap
@@Rafaal03 we try to tell her it's fine if it's from the sink or something like that but she won't budge
not on "Naked and Afraid" water...of course they are in much warmer locations...I had water like in Iceland in the Adirondacks....delicious fresh, freezing cold, mountain water to drink right out of the side of the rock!!!
That's pretty disgusting to be honest
"Look, it's the Taylor machine" Nice Easter Egg lol
Everytime I go into a McDs now, I wonder if their ice cream machine is broken
@@ThrawnTheater you don't have to wonder, it's pretty much set it stone that it won't be working lol
I love inside jokes. I don't know why I was giggling when he said that lol
So apparently Taylor employs at least 1 maintenance person in Iceland.
@@rOCKINxsOCKIN Not really, in my country its mostly working
It's good to see you out traveling again! I appreciate all of the work that goes into your videos.
Iceland is such a unique country. I've been there once, and the volcanic landscape makes you feel like you're on Mars or something when you're driving between cities. I did the blue lagoon hot springs, and it was awesome. Oh and I want one of the authentic sweaters, but they're expensive. Definitely want to visit again sometime!
Oh, So you have been on Mars? (Think, maybe Mars is just a light in the sky) ;)
I went to Iceland about 2 years ago and did most of the stuff Johnny did in this video and its genuinely amazing, I would definitely recommend to go here
Johnny, I do this all the time, I shower with hot water and the last 30 seconds I will turn the tap to the coldest settings and stand in there for a mere 20seconds. I feel that feeling all the time
I have no idea how Johnny posts a video each week and maintains such a high quality of content. It honestly feels illegal to get this level of quality each week or so.
Phenomenal content and editing Johnny ... You're hitting your stride as a creator. Still waiting on those Emu Wars though!!
So well edited! Dang. High quality stuff here yo..
The swedish word for saturday (Lördag) also means something like pool day or washing day in old swedish. So its not so much a islandic thing as it is probably more of a nordic thing.
I always learned it as washing day as well (lørdag). Hello from Norway!
is it because people long ago used to bath all together in a specific day
Johnny yelling in the cold water while Iz was talking about how cold everything is was my favorite moment.
We've been showering in Ice cold water for years at my household mostly due economic reasons but now you're telling me we've been avant garde all this time?
What a way to start the day!
Yep I can confirm! Soaking in freezing cold water is a jarring experience at first, as your skin feels like its burning and your nerves are electrified to the max! As soon as you come out, the weather all of a sudden feels warm, and you feel renewed and energized! I have been showering with cold water for 2 years now, and every morning I feel more awake and active than before with my cosy hot water...
The ancient Romans had frigidarium, tepidarium and calidarium at their thermae!
Your boys are so blessed to have these mind opening experiences. I wish your family the best of everything x
He’s doing right!
Body: *freaking out
Person: Ahh that feels good
That is how the drugs work.
He protecc, he attacc
But most importantly
The Orange suit is bacc
You’ve somehow became my favorite RUclipsr because you’re able to make me interested in any subject that no high school teacher ever could
I love this guy, these videos are addictive
What Johnny taught us?
Maps Maps Maps
Map Men: Are we a joke to you?
@luke lifter That has nothing to do with anything you troll
Always a great day when Johnny posts!
Agreed
Pet peeve: He mentions that there are randomised, controlled studies about cold water immersion, then talks about a natural experiment which is neither randomised or controlled. Not all research is randomised and controlled, and in fact in anything about humans it mostly isn't because it wouldn't be ethical
Hi! Could you please explain the second part of your last sentence?
@@auro2992 I can't speak to the ethical part, but the very nature of cold water immersion makes it difficult to do a proper blinded study. You could do randomized, controlled, but you'll always have the placebo affect of the cold water.
@@threatened2024 they are just starting a cohort with women I believe. But the men’s cohort was statistically significant in its findings iirc
That particular study was an observational study not an experiment. There was no random assignment, only random selection.
@@auro2992 To make a study you need to compare two different ways. It wouldn't be ethical to make half of the people get the treatment you think will work and half of them getting nothing or something se know is harmful. We can't compare things if we already think one is better because of "do no harm", you have To get the best alternative for pour patient. that's the ethical part. That's why to test a New treatment you study the New treatment VS the better one yet. Although i disagree that studies involving cold water would be unethical because he just listed the benefits of both cold and hot water. That's why comparing cold / hot water would be cool in my opinion : they might be avantages for your patient either way. Sorry if its not well explained, my english is rusty
For years I go to the gym, I wash off, jump in the pool, get in the jacuzzi, jump out, get in the pool and then sit in the sauna for 10 minutes. I feel AMAZING afterwards. Thank you Johnny for making this video. And you don’t have to live in Iceland to get these effects!
Love this video Johnny! I recently started cold sea swims here in Edinburgh, Scotland and in soo hooked right now. Its my 36th birthday today. Its gloomy outside and a bit rainy but I will be going to the beach and celebrate my life in the water being happy. I cannot care less about bad weather anymore since I started those cold dips, working out and jogging also before going to warm up. Feeling so alive and so much better, less depressed and stronger. It works just like you said it the video! yehey ;)
Us going to the sauna here in Finland is almost the same thing, hot and cold.
Except now it’s hot.. but yeah we still do sauna.
I think being out in icelandic terrain in springs is way superior to any sauna.
@@somethung8188 Going to the lake in the finnish midnight sun could be even better. But I've never been to Iceland.
Hey I just wanted to thank you to put out Iceland such in a way that ive literally been saving my money since I saw your first video of Iceland to visit this place as soon as Covid goes away. Cheers mate from a guy in a small village of India. I hope I visit this heaven, soon.
Me who bathes in cold water everyday because my hot water stopped working:
*happy noises*
I was fortunate enough to try this effect myself in the old public baths in Budapest! Getting into hot water feels good of course, but it doesn't even compare to the sensation of getting into freezing water, then getting into a hot pool right after. They had dual pools with steps between them for this purpose.
This is such a pure you in this video. I can feel how happy you are about making this
I'm impressed how you can take a transformative and personally meaningful experience from your life and turn it into such great content. Next Johnny Harris video be like "how a trip to Japan convinced me that pillows are unnecessary. I stopped using pillows for months now and have never felt better".
Someone needs to sponsor me for my Iceland trip. I just wanna shout “I freaking love Iceland”
Your Mota Bhai
I really like the yellow bar at the bottom for the ad break!!!!
Agreed. It's such a simple and yet innovative feature that I hope more content creators start using.
8:00 - As someone who grew up in beaver country, you have no idea how anxious just drinking from a river makes me.
the video editing is literally so beautiful i cant ahh!
The cinematography level just keeps going up 💜
It's crazy that to see Johnny can visit Iceland during this pandemic.
Once I get fully vaccinated, I hope to fly to places like Iceland too.
everybody who is vaccinated can visit Iceland. just today and tomorrow Iceland is expecting about 4000 people. It's still mainly from states but other countries are also comming.
@@MoonLander85 sounds like an invitation mate
All restrictions in Iceland will be removed at midnight.... hope it holds :)
@@fai.salrahman I will not get you place to sleep but i can help you with planning and avoiding tourists traps also we can meet for high five and a beer.
Johnny: 𝑊 𝐴 𝑇 𝐸 𝑅
all of us: mhh.. interesting 🤔
Johnny, you and your wife are truly brave bless with these two beautiful sons.
Good practice when filling a bottle in a stream is to point the opening downstream that way if a stick or other debris come down, it won't go right into you bottle.
As a person that lives in Canada, I can confirm that we regularly get the chance to get our bodies and extremities cold 🥶!
Cold countries love Hot water , But as I live in a Hot country I absolutely Hate Hot water
Yeah living in a warm place whenever I'm at the beach and the water is super hot I don't rlly wanna get in but it's nice when it's cool
@@Egerit100 I grew up in SoCal, pretty hot overall, still loved hot showers in the summer.
@@kray97 showers are a different thing though. I like hot showers however when we're talking about the beach or the pool I prefer it cold
dont know man I live in tropical climate but people around me still prefer hot springs
@@Egerit100 Beach water rarely is still hot enough because it really has to be so hot it hurts a bit at least if you give it a bit of time. If it is not that hot it feels just awful.
I love your content - just have been in Iceland as well and made a video as well just on the trip. Thank you for being such a great inspiration!
This channel never dissapoints me, you literally put any kind of knowledge in this channel. From 1 country you can make many interesting stories from it. Thank you Johnny!
I love how totally unassuming the video captions are, you watch and you get mind-blown by how informative the video is
In Russia the “obsessed temperature” is 36.6 C. That’s what every doctor will say you, if your case aren’t unique
I think that's most of Europe, 37 is a little bit high, but normal for a few people.
In Western Europe as well. 37C would be a 0.3C fever
Me in Saudi Arabia with almost 50 C : pethetic
This is one of those channels I'm happy RUclips suggested for me.
“What I’ve learned about it is…is probably going to change my life”
It’s WATER
Ur point?
@@DxvinderSingh1699 water is liquid, its pointless.
@@tsuol7296 so you're 80% pointless? I agree
@@Dish.Washer yeah.
Thank you 💝
Jonny Harris
Im learning more and more on this channel than my whole high school years combined. Awesome facts on every subjects!
My wife showed me this video but no, I'm still not showering in crazy hot hellwater!
“A hot bath strengthens the women and weakens the men.” Said Glynis Johns as Mrs Firth in the movie, ‘The Sundowners’.
A sexy voice and a sexy line. The voice of Glynis Johns as this experienced woman was so sexy. Still vivid in my mind 60 years later.
"In your warm house, in your warm clothes"
South Indians and Africans "No, no, that's wrong that's so wrong, wtf would you want to be warm!!!"
Are u indian
@Tejas Krishan Telugu
@Tejas Krishan where are u from
Johnny: Hey can I buy some water?
Cashier: ummm just go get it from a river or a stream.
That part was truly awesome. In the U.S. their is only a few places where you can do that and many of them are disappearing.
ok
Denmark speaking. I am all for getting free water from nature, which is not always possible here either. But here all tapwater is 100% pure and drinkable.
@@troels1979 We get good tap water to that is always pure, but about 2-3 times a year we have to boil our water for about a week. We only get free water from nature are in shut ins and their is only about 500 left in the U.S. from the estimated 1 million
I'm an icelandic cashier amd I cringe so hard when people buy water. Like bro, just go to any public bathroom and fill your bottle, it's the same water basically. If you buy water in Iceland you are basically just paying someine else to fill a bottle with tap water for you.
@@ivory9217 that is so cool
We do this in the winter in Canada all the time. Every ski/snowboard trip we get we in the hot tub then jump in a snowbank, make some snow angels, then back in the hot tub. Rinse repeat. Its nice, especially when you're drinking.
I love this channel. When ever you upload I know I'm gonna learn a lot. 10/10
"I freaking love Iceland"
*goes into the truck*
"Cold shower are trendy these days"
Well in my country(india) it is always adviced that people who do mor mental work should bath with cold water.
because a large portion of india has hotter temperatures so. the sauna culture doesn't match w our climate
Huh! Makes sense, given everything the video just taught me.
India is a tropical country majorly so extreme water bathing is supposed to be rare. As it is with most tropical countries
I love how his wife has to reel him in a bit,like playful five year old full of wonder.
I love how your videos are not only with you but with your fam
You have a beautiful family Johnny. Enjoy your life!
"ALARM! Get the blood from the those, we don't care about toes"
Next part should be "Meeting Wim Hof himself"!
Up this comment!
Wow great video, I was always very skeptic about that Wim Hof guy, because he got like a cult vibe around him. I always associated an ice batch with that guy, like it was his idea, and denied it just all, however now you made it more clear with some analytical data, it feels more compelling.
I keep it a practice of getting the shower at least twice a week with shivering, painful cold water in the winter season for the past 4 years. you feel awakened. senses are at an all-time high. you can feel as if your skin is breathing. it's painful but soothing.
Johnny I can't get enough of your videos! You're such a good journalist /content creator. Love all your videos my man. Keep up the good work!
Ahah! That is why the Japanese live longer! Along with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, extended work years and aggressive government intervention have helped the Nagano region produce the longest life. Love you johnny keep up the good work!
Similar to Icelanders
You know its weird when iceland and greenland is just a really big rick roll
ok
ok
Not really, it makes sense historically.
Ok
or mass clickbait
Johnny: I’m in Iceland and I’m on one of the most popular beaches and it’s completely empty and it’s midnight.
Also Johnny: Let’s talk about hot and cold water!
…
Nice work. Very informative. I've been cold water swimming in Lake Superior. My goal is to swim, or at least dip in it, everyday until there is ice on the shore. The clarity and power you feel after coming out is amazing. I think you summed it up very well "it's like you're seeing the world for the first time". 100% true.
You have some super beautiful shots in your video. I hope it's as satisfying for you to be able to enjoy the end results as it is for us.
