It is so sweet to see you working together with your dad on this project.

Hi Gaz. My life partner Wendy has been following you with all your great tasting foods. She has made which is her favorite dish she made was the lentil meatless stew. And she also saw the video with you and your dad making the eggplant. She also saw the video of Wim as he broke just about every world record he did. She told me about it and she told me to start by doing a little at a time after taking my shower. I did 2 mins for the 1st few days. I start from cool water. After the 1st week I did 5 min. Now I'm doing 10 to 12 mins every day for about a month. I was 206 pounds due to 2 reasons my thyroid condition and just grazing on comfort food. Now since I been doing the cold blast showers I lost about 15 pounds and weigh 191. Her and I have been more active and more alert. From her cooking some of your foods and cold blast we are very active more everyday. She was very excited to see that you started the cold blast. Your her favorite chef. She wants to get me a barrel or those metal tubs. Keep reaching for your goals and also continue to be that warrior. Stay safe. God Bless you and your entire family. ✝️👍

I thought Dad was a rock star when he took a swig in the beginning, but to watch him drop down in that ice bath at the end... That is NEXT LEVEL! Go Dad!!! 🤩

Perfect :) I have to admit, that ponds or lakes cover in ice work much better for myself. Problem are fragments of ice. If it touches you, it will "burn" skin and sometimes causes little cuts. You have to be careful with it. I have some good advice for anyone would like to start. Never, if possible, put your hands in water and the best put warm gloves (try not to soak them). Do not put head underwater or soak it (especially at the start of ice bathing). For more sensitive people, it is possible to buy sort of "divers shoes" made from neoprene foam. It helps a lot :) It is important to do some exercise and warm up before going to water (speed up blood circulation). All this would make experience much better and positive for future. I have been doing it for years now, :) Best regards from Poland.

I’ve started cold showers. Haven’t missed a day in months. It’s addicting. Amazing to see you doing this.

I think that I was more worried for you drinking the whiskey barrel contents than the ice bath in the pond.😅. Nice going, Gaz and Tom!

Gaz, your country is SO beautiful! 😍 Really fascinating experience. The aesthetic of your life rn looks like such a dream 🌿 I've followed you for years and I'm SO happy for you!

Thank you for promoting the Wim Hof method! Im doing for more than a year now! I want to complement the cinematography: that after the cold plunges, you say your insights in front of the cosy fire in a nice warm sweater!

I love how your dad and mom support you!

How excellent! My husband and I do 3 minute cold showers 5 days a week after running and a workout, it has been a game changer for us. But…you have inspired me to up my cold game now💕💕💕 I love all your content, this one was extra awesome and it was fun to see your Dad get in on this as well as Tom!

Absolutely loved this !! Way to go, Gaz 🙏🏼❤️

Went on a 10 day trek in Lapland in October and every morning my friend and I would bathe in the nearby lake or river (they have so many lakes over there). We were following that with a healthy breakfast and it totally changed our bodies and mindset. Came back from that trip with a new outlook on life and ourselves.

Gaz you're such an inspiration! thanks for sharing this crazy experience♥

So awesome, this is amazing Gaz, really helped me get motivated!

this is super inspiring! amazing to see how much youve grown since when I first started watching you when you launched your channel. I am going to do this challenge!

Your family and team is so wholesome ❤

I’ve really been looking forward to this video and it’s even better than I could have wished for! Thank you for sharing this with us

I’ve been recently started my own cold shower and bath journey and loved this video. Watched it twice, the second time while doing a cold plunge. Keep up the good work I just joined your channel!

Always with the beautiful quality! Loved this so much. Such a cool idea. I love my brisk walks to get the kids to school in the morning in the winter here in Canada. It's such a great way to start the day with a blast of the cold ❤

I just wanted to say this video was touching and beautifully done! My favorite part was when you got into the big body of water! First of all I was so proud of you, 2nd it was visually stunning! Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us! You popped up on my feed and I’ve always wondered about these ice baths. I hate cold so when you said you did too it was inspiring! New sub!

I myself take icebaths since January 23! Now It belongs to my morning routine! Thanks for Your insights 🙏🏻💚🌱

Cold showers helped me MASSIVELY in dealing with and overcoming anxiety (health & GAD)

Crazy timing this is, literally going for my first ice bath today 🥶

What a challenge! You have shared some great insights into the benefits and unlocking some of that mental stimulation

That is some serious strength inner and outer..and the scenery is amazing..Beautiful

Just started taking cold showers. Watching this has given me the drive to keep going, and to hopefully upgrade to getting into an ice bath. Thank you!

You are truly an inspiration Gaz. Keep it up!

Love the excitement in your eyes when you're cracking the ice in the barrel. I get that when I'm lacing up my rollerskates - I know that feeling!! Gotta try this, thanks for the inspo, especially when you say overcoming your mind telling you, you can't!! I've done plunges and that tingly, euphoric feeling - is amazing, gonna do it!!

Greatly produced as always. Thank you for sharing your path with us ❤️

Makes me want to finally start my ice bucket challenge as well. Thank you!

This is beyond inspiring! What a powerful and beautiful content. You guys truly keep surpassing yourselves in everything you do; whether it be in making these videos or in your daily lives... thank you so much for sharing.

lovely and inspiring video Gaz!

This is so wholesome, love you too gaz ❤

Oh my goodness!! You ARE SO inspiring. Also really like your humor.

So inspirational Gaz!

I haven’t done ice baths, but I do cold showers daily, yes even in the winters. It is life changing! You really have to learn to breathe a little faster and with control before and while you’re in the cold temperature, to help regulate your nervous and cardiovascular system so you don’t go into shock or something. Practice the breathing alone first and then add the cold showers.

Congratulations Gaz- your family is amazing

Freaking awesome. Very inspirational. Just started this week and loving it!

More health and lifestyle videos like this plz!! Loved this

This is awesome Gaz and I can relate completely. Thanks for sharing your journey. Makes me want to go and get in my one and zen out. Love the idea of the home made ice bath. Think I’ll be making my own now for the Aussie weather patterns all year round 😊🤩

I love your food videos! This one wowed me! To see how you started the process with the whiskey barrel and your dad, all the way into the ice pond! I live on the coast of Maine and swim regularly in the Atlantic ocean all year round, yes in the winter! I only stay in for about 20 seconds when the water is around freezing temp and always feel euphoric and so alive when I come out. You've encouraged me to up my game! Instead of swimming I will try to be still, breathe and meditate. I'm curious how this will feel! Thank you for being such an inspiration!!

A truly inspiring video from start to finish. Love seeing you flourish 💚

I love your personality. I have always had a hard time getting focused enough while meditating. I'm going to give this a try! I definitely need the focus and energy!

Well done Gaz, it looks like an amazing experience, I think I'll try it myself 🙂

So glad to be seeing this approach on your channel ❣️

Very inspiring! We have an old barrel somewhere in our garden shed, now I know what we will use it for... And we definitly need a home tour soon Gaz!

Your home is beautiful, Gaz!

Absolutely loved your video, I've started ice cold showers in the morning and it's true what you say about clarity. Please keep sharing your vids and I wish you well on your journey.

Wow congrats Gaz! Amazing video you and Tom made

another fantastic video. You are so honest about your feelings and mental state, that's what I love about you.

love the positivity man, and I feel the same way when getting out, so euphoric and focused, dialed in and ready to go. Im going to try your time and meditation method, focusing on breathing rather than how long I have left to finish. Thanks brotha!

You're inspiring Gaz !!!

first time watched your channel, your voice is calming and the color grading looks warm. Subscribed!

great work, would love to see more videos like this from you!

really enjoyed this, well done brother Gaz :) blessings from Ireland

I loved this episode , you have an amazing energy❤

Started cold showers few weeks ago, it's incredible!! Happy for you and thanks for inspiration. Cheers!

There's no way I'm ever getting into cold water like that. I'm glad you enjoy the experience though. Also glad that rogue whiskey didn't make you sick, lol!

Amazing video + production as always. Keep it up! Definitely going to do the same thing when I have a space to set it up. Nothing quite as energizing.

This was a wonderful video. Looking forward to the next💪

great video gaz. storytelling, cinematography, euphoric Gaz was all top quality

Thanks for being and sharing you! 🙌🙏💝

Great inspiration. Been considering cold showers to deal with joint pain. I think I'll start my week off with dry brushing and a cold shower. Wish me strength and fortitude. That place in the country is gorgeous.

Great video Gaz nice to see this side of you :) x

You inspire me to be a better being with each video you create! You're a beautiful soul! Keep being the light & love this world so needs. Thank you Gaz! ✌️❤️

Fabulous thanks 🙏🏽 I enjoyed seeeing someone I like doing this .. all you do you do with your spirit and I like that!! I have loved your channel thus far and enjoy your recipes and fun personality

Genuinely inspired. Great video.

well done Gaz.. and YOUR dad is a freaking rock star. we love him :)

This was amazing! Loved the different vibe. Camera man on point too

Its a great way to wake up your body and mind. Glad that we share content like this to help others takes steps 👏👏

I started finishing my shower with a cold shower a couple of years ago after listening to Wim Hof. I don't think Ive missed a day. I cannot finish a shower now without a minute or two or three of cold. Its coffee without coffee

You’re a genius just made three of your 15minute recipes ..sooooooo good ❤

Well done mate. It was good to see someone else’s little trip down ice bath lane, it mirrored my own wonderful experience with this amazing lifestyle.

I love you guys ... following your passion and heart for vegan, nature and body-mind-soul enhancement in such a beautiful, hearty and lovely AND asthetical way. Thank you Gaz! And of course the whole team ... Love ya all ! Feels inspiring ... I will take a cold shower now ;)) When I was younger I used to swim in a cold "Freibad" in Germany while there were only 14 degrees outside ... to be honest. As I got older somehow I loose this "urge" for "pain" or to "overcome" my mind ... it comes by itsself through other inner work. But I will try to start the cold shower again ;))

Very inspiring! Thank you.

Love to see the channel extend beyond good food into more general life and health-based videos. I also love cold exposure for all the same reasons and find it gives me a huge boost in motivation for the next 3 or so hours. One thing I recently heard from Dr. Andy Galpin's conversation with Andrew Huberman (Huberman Lab podcast) on recovery is that it is probably best to avoid cold exposure after strength training if possible (4 hours should do), as initial studies suggest it can suppress hypertrophy (i.e. muscle growth). It looks like science isn't settled on this subject, but for those looking to get bigger in the gym and use cold exposure for all the many benefits it provides, it may be something to think about!

So happy to see this 🙌🏾 I'm a huge Hoff fan and great that u combined it with his breathing techniques. Euphoric forreal ! Love to see one of my fav vegan channels exploring this side of health and well being 💙

Gaz your videos make me so happy 😊

amazing video once again! Go with the flow and ignite your inner fire babayyyy

Enjoyed watching it 😀

loved this video!

You're a great inspiration! 💪🏻

HOW AWESOME!!! Will definitely have to give this a try!!!

Way to go Gaz!

Great video 👍🏻 very motivating

Beautiful inspiring video, and the surroundings breathtaking. Well done worrier!

Ty for inspiring me to try the wimhoff method 😊

Keep doing it fam. Been on it for 3 years now plus wim hoff breathing technique and meditation

Such a beautiful, uplifting video. Gaz, you are amazing !! Cold showers have changed my life. I can’t wait to get my own ice bath like this and do the same thing. Also I’m jealous you were getting free ice from nature lol. I’m in Australia and going to have to buy many bags 😂

You are quite an example, Gaz! Such a pleasure watching you grow and evolve the past five or so years. Much love, Brother. ~Evan

Love it! 👽💞✨that was fun to watch 🥰

I love this for you! ❤

Can’t wait to watch this. ❤

yaaay!! i know how you feel after getting out of the cold ice bath.... sooooul Goooood! i usually just take cold showers, but you've inspired me to practice the actual ice bath more regularly...and also make it a challenge. i KNOW it will help me figtht off some of the depressive feelings that can come on at times. thanks for sharing your love for feeling Great and this Amazing Life. i love your channel and all of your recipes too. ..keep 'em coming.

Great video! I’m going to do this in two weeks. Better get my cold morning shower routine started for the prep work.

When I used to live in Siberia, I did go outside during winter to pour a bucket of freezing cold water when it was like -30 C outside. I did a few times like that and that was an experience for sure. I haven’t done it in a long time but I still do cold showers and that does get the blood flowing and gets the brain thinking clear. Amazing feeling! ❤

Looks amasing!! ❄️☀️

Lovely footage. And yes i like icebaths too to calm my mind. I just started with the showers again trying to pick up the pace

Awesome episode!! Now you have to try that at sunrise!

Good on you Gaz 🙏
