In January this year, Wim Hof ran a half Marathon (21 km) above the polar circle in Finland. He wore only a pair of shorts and no shoes. The ground (snow) temperature was 35 below. In a few months time, he'll try something similar on Everest's north side. The expedition, led by Dutch Werner de Jong, will try to set a new world record as Wim attempts to climb parts of Everest wearing only shorts.This is not your regular stunt. Wim already has 9 world records, and has trained hard for many years to withstand cold, much like some monks do in Tibet.Wim can actually regulate his core heat to control the temperature of his skin. Something of a medical enigma, Wim is able to withstand cold that could kill or seriously injure other people.On Everest, Wim will also put to use his free style climbing skills - which he once demonstrated hanging between 2 hot air balloons by his middle finger at an altitude of 1500 meters. Once back inside the basket, Wim finished by climbing to the top of the balloon.One of Wim's world record attempts took him to the North Pole, where he held his breath for about 6 minutes and 20 seconds below the ice.If you like this, make sure to buy the upcoming DVD; http://www.discoverychannel.ca...

thats not THAAAAAT extraordinary. just because he probably has trained himself not to feel cold since he remembers. its a very minor example but my boyfriend cant be tickled. he feels nothing, not even on his feet. and thats because he got himself used to it til he didnt feel anything.

Most people can't even finish the half marathon.

More body mass means a better mass/ surface ratio and a better metabolism/ surface ratio. It's better if it's fat (more isolating, less perfusion and therefore less radiating), but muscles (more metabolism) still do the job. A combination would be ideal.Don't know what really happened to you, but your explanation makes no sense.

this is also a custom in Tibet called "tumo" the ability to withstand cold.And "lung-gom" the ability to travel long distances in inhospitable inviorment...sorce of info: "super nature by Lyall watson"

Minus 18 degrees celcius (-18c) is nothing compared to the real frost of Lapland, which can reach up to -30c. Still not a bad achievement, though there's nothing supernatural or magical about this. Cheers.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
