this was a routine train following its regular route from one siberian city to another. in the vestibule of the last carriage a man was smoking a cigarette. as he tends to go back to his compartment he pulled open the door and stepped into emptiness. a moment later he found himself lying on the track there was a crackle of frost of the it was forty below zero and he was wearing just a t. shirt sweat pants and slippers so began his struggle against extreme cold.

inside this climate chamber the temperature was ten degrees below zero the volunteer has been in there for about half an hour this experiment his condition is gradually deteriorating he's on the verge of the early stages of hypothermia his body temperature has fallen by about a degree in a huff and a shiver is approaching fast canal the second stage follows his pulse rate will plummet shivering uncontrollably kill experience a very slow reaction to blood will gradually be drawn back from his limbs to concentrate around his vital organs brain lungs and liver. blood vessels in the extremities will contract. final stages of hypothermia. i will now undress myself or mediately because there's a certain adaptation process. now i want all of you to go to some place as soon as

you experience some sort of cold shiver. what could be more bracing that meeting a frosty sunday morning by sitting in the snow wearing practically nothing for a physiologist. who practices yoga it's a normal event he demonstrates his own method of overcoming the cold for the other workshop participants it's something of a feat. now it doesn't mean that you immediately stop feeling the cold you will feel the cold in your thermal receptors will be working. the only difference is that you will not feel the cold penetrating your body with the heat you're meeting some of you may even be sweating. and you need a get. well that is our task. we're even feeling. tries to explain briefly to his students his method for overcoming the cold he's borrowed some elements from the ancient practices of tibetan monks others come for

discoveries in physiology we believe that with proper breathing and special exercises a man can survive the extreme cold for up to two and a half hours. our body cells have a temperature limit no more than forty two degrees. therefore temperature flow is insufficient to warm the whole body. when the body is in a cold environment it requires a significant amount of heat. this he can be produced outside of the cells and good then that the most suitable candidate for this role is the lungs were all the old sacks can produce large amounts of heat. that's. according to the lungs help to produce additional heat when there's a lack of oxygen known as hypoxia the process of burning body fat also generates heat.

my first thought after the fall was to get up and run i wasn't about hurt i just told the muscles in my arm and leg so i got up stretched and began to bump i decided to head in the direction of the departing train and you know the most important thing was not to free. this rare footage from the made eighty's taken by a soviet documentary crew shows an elderly bearded man in shorts walking through the snow. his name was puffy or even off founder of a semi religious doctrine. for the last forty years of his life ivanoff won nothing but shorts regardless of the season or the outside temperature. wise i want can sure it's true. i believe that anyone in the world can wear just

shorts. of shorts or in ephemeral phenomenon but the audi which needs to live and breathe the fresh air is another thing she's. i don't want to say that no one can do i believe everybody can. they just don't want to because the body feels cold. because it feels cold people try to protect themselves in a physical way. believed that the cause of all human disease was people's own delicate nature because of the fact that they had removed themselves from nature and that the only way to return to the right way of life was to reject the trappings of civilization including clothes. called water is full of life it is natural. in definitely helps the

body generate heat inside. not to heat their clothes. comes from the body. of the cold received message exposure before the soviet union collapsed and soon after his death thousands across the country followed the musters example walking out in the cold wearing just underwear and pouring cold water over themselves. no cough is not a typical ivanoff is an entrepreneur a former high ranking official and his wife is a successful fashion designer they have four children so again believes that he owes his personal well being to the ivanoff health improvement program. but my lungs were almost completely blocked my heart wasn't working properly at the same time there were other health problems too including allergies and allergy to

the cold analogy to the cold is the most terrible when you get your feet wet you get asked maher and by the time i was fifteen i almost got to the point where i simply had no chance with normal social life. according to say again after he started pouring cold water over himself twice a day old his illness is disappeared. poor cold water over yourself in the morning in the neve when you wake up you just take a bucket of cold water and pour it over yourself you should stand on the ground in the winter right in the snow and ask for good health for yourself you need to find the opportunity to be thankful that you're alive no surprises his neighbors with his daily cold water treatments which he takes in his backyard along with his whole family. of course. twenty three years is a long time after all. not expecting

a call but the feeling so i have now if you look you can see that the water evaporates and my body feels really warm now. if i feel comfortable i can spend an hour here if i don't feel good. i never felt completely frozen i was never involved in extreme activities. who was nicknamed. volunteered to take part in this experiment under the supervision of doctors he'd sit without clothes in a climate chamber at a temperature of minus ten degrees. thirty six point eight. ready. ready.

this is. a famous. it's how the men from a group of women in susie. the scope of their weekly ice cold sweat. with this little. become celebrities in various international swimming festivals. been doing it for such a long time it became boring for us just to swim so we came up with this idea and it caught on this routine is about sixteen years old even older you can't get used to the cold you can tolerate it and you can struggle with here we're struggling with it using our bodies resources. people who enjoy swimming in icy water recalled his in russia. swim in subzero temperatures maintaining that cold is

a classic example of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. i haven't been wearing a hat in winter for the past twenty years now i've gradually been training my body to the cold. extreme conditions. of the baptism of christ the outside temperature is about minus twenty and there are long queues on the river bank for a large hole in the ice it's a russian tradition openness with this religious day that hundreds of people believe that it's a time when the water requires healing powers. right now only ten percent of people here swim and they will go on swimming while others will still be waiting for the next step is i'm of christ. the average person can survive in water

in these conditions for more than a quarter of an l. before fatal hypothermia sets in when a body is in icy cold water adrenaline production increases and once out of the water there's a spike in endorphin production causing a sense of euphoria usually felt by the winter swimming just after leaving the cold water it's similar to a narcotic high. when people come out of the water if you touch their backs. please come here for a minute come here. touch his back it's warm around the kidneys it's even hot for you and your porch are a no good. person so that means quickly in cold water it's completely harmless thanks that's what i'm talking about. the cold during winter swimming the conditions are identical to those that we went through exposure to minus ten degrees. winter swimming veteran

undergone such tests before. the experiment was primarily carried out with a remote. he just said in the hole in the fetal position he's arms and legs were crossed and he was there for about forty five minutes. and i was in the next hole. he was about ten meters long so while he was sitting in he's all i was swimming back and forth in mine. for maybe thirty five minutes or so with. the trainer had only one chance for survival to reach the nearest station but he

had to move quickly wearing nothing but slippers on his feet and without the protection of gloves his hands immediately began to freeze the temperature was more than forty degrees below zero. the temperature outside was minus forty five it was pretty uncomfortable to run along the track my slippers came off several times i wasn't afraid of any animal or of death i didn't even think about the cold i just one thought in my mind run run run. victims multiply here. it's very profitable to invest in colombia. this is a very high return on investment. but i've been

working in this area for thirty years and i've always had to pay the armed groups of me to. change their name and strategy but still the same. high ranking suspects you know coming. pretty upset about that mr president. the president. but. i won't give an interview i'm sorry but no. investigation is it. says sick and stop your bullshit and keep quiet or else you'll suffer the consequences. even if your bodyguards to watch themselves because the same goes for them. regards from since i've never heard of such a case as ours are so much money gold has stolen so many. for all the

gold in colombia.

it's impossible to get used to the cold cold is elemental if there's conflict oh yes you definitely can cold an element to submerge you can feel your hands starting to freeze plain gets dog you have to feel everything with your fingers to do that you have to take off your mittens whereas word of school then at best for the real thing is a medically turn red in the worst case scenario which is that they start to go pale . it's minus forty five degrees celsius on this poll tonight eighty seven degrees north the sun won't shine over the horizon for another two months. russian explorers but with and for a small of a pitching their tents and preparing for another twenty kilometer walk towards the

north pole. but without it we saw it here at that all to cape the northernmost point of russia and then we walked all the way to the north pole. it's one thousand kilometers but because the ice in the i'll take is constantly moving and she's been without one thousand kilmer says ends up becoming one thousand. if you were. small and had to face many challenges during the night walk to the north pole even in such cold conditions people still sweat and that's considered to be the main threat to polar explorers because of minus forty degrees with wind speeds of twenty meters per second moisture on the skin evaporates quickly leading to fatal hypothermia ten times quicker than usual. such extreme temperatures the body

enormous energy simply to maintain its core temperature which if we did many calculations over our journey every day we ate five thousand calories worth of food an ordinary man and. maybe two thousand five hundred per day when egypt piece of bacon after an hour and a half maybe two hours working turns into calories and that's when you feel unwell. and worried that he started to shake uncontrollably. and his body temperature is starting to fall. he says he feels ok. let's get him out of there.

the subject believes that he can carry on the thirty minutes he's already spent in the climate chamber is nowhere near his limit according to vitale martin off the fact that he started shivering is the body's normal response to cold and he could spend at least another half hour in the chamber but the doctors observing the test were adamant that he should not continue. no you don't feel anything at all if you would stand the cold apathy sets in and your brain switches off. i began to freeze almost immediately after ten minutes my feet were really cold i only had my slippers on. fifteen minutes later i began shivering badly and after twenty minutes i just wanted to lie down in the snow and do nothing. in this part of western siberia winter temperatures often reach minus thirty five

degrees celsius. soldiers from russian army special units deployed here learning how to fight in the extreme cold. reconnaissance troops night may have to keep almost completely still for hours in the cold special uniforms help them to fend off hypothermia. boardroom we used various devices like a multi-layer uniform. the first layer is also working material to prevent the body from sweating. it draws all the moisture from the surface so the body remains drawing. the second is fleece material and the third is a warm jacket and pants.

some of these soldiers have been drafted into the army from russia's southern regions it took them at least a month to a climate to the extreme low temperatures of siberia. in december we had the lowest temperature of forty degrees below zero when we go to unfold exercises we tried to take fat in greece with us we spread it over the exposed poured so the mandala can sort of face and physical training takes care of the wrist. it's to do our best it contains liquid nitrogen which has the boiling point of two hundred degrees below zero we can demonstrate by putting a flower into this container. look what happens. ok let's take it out any frozen solid. therapy which has recently become popular in medicine and cosmetology uses the short term exposure of skin to very low

temperatures inside the cryo chamber liquid nitrogen evaporates to one hundred sixty degrees below zero. this. really cool. to feel ok. isn't it good. when released from the cryo sauna the patient feels about the same level of euphoria as the a swimmer in icy water and the physiological impact of temperature shock therapy is also about the same. during the procedure the troyer tree. it's what we call an air barrier to the heat has nowhere to go at the skin temperature. it is cooled down to below zero degrees below zero but this doesn't

result in the deep penetration of the cold into the muscles or internal organs and that's why the procedure is for a very limited time it lasts no longer than three minutes but during this time there's a peak in various processes within the body. fifty five minutes into the experiment yogi and physiologist winnowed has to perform more of his breathing exercises to slow down the cooling of his body but gradually the cold takes and his body temperature continues to fall steadily and his blood pressure drops an hour into the experiment and removed from the climate chamber. he did it. of course it was my first hour long test and it was rather extreme in the end i felt as though i was reaching the point where i even wanted to stop

the experiment. damn for the first half hour i felt quite comfortable sitting there . then obviously i was approaching my limit and somewhere around forty five minutes i had to stand the cold in my own way. but you know the more of them to. when you're not started feeling the colts. he started to do some exercises with his abdominal muscles and also a particular breathing drill. so in doing that. he production increased scenes and he had a faster heart rate. which by the way went up significantly. even a layperson can survive extreme cold with no clothes but instead of using special take needs designed to enable survival adrenaline and that sheer will to live what

helps the body to save itself. the adrenaline the desire to live and the ability to run the distance but. in other words he knew what he was doing so he knew what he wanted and what he had to achieve so he survived he clearly understood that he had to run in exactly that direction. i finally sold the station after half an hour of running those last few hundred meters were the hardest for me. when i finally ran up to the judy guard he looked at me in complete shock and then he poured me some hot tea and called the police the newspapers wrote a byte me but there's just one thing i really don't understand why did they write that i was drunk i wasn't i was stone cold sober.
