I Answer The Question ‘Why?’ After Doing A Photoshoot In The Snow Without A Shirt On

ADVERTISEMENT

I recently shared an image and a video of me doing a photoshoot without a shirt on in the snow with my daughter. This raised a lot of attention and a lot of questions as you can imagine.

So, I thought I would answer the ‘why?’ here.

My name is Phillip Haumesser, I’ve been doing photography professionally for over 5 years, but around 2 years ago I began experimenting with something quite different…

Submerging myself in ice!

In December 2017 my whole family got the flu, and it was BAD! We kept passing it around for over 3 weeks. It was probably the worst sick I’ve ever been as an adult and I never wanted to go through that again!

Shortly after that, I came across a YouTube video called ‘Becoming Superhuman’. It featured the Ice-Man Wim Hof who takes ice baths and climbs mountains in his shorts.

It was fascinating to me that the human body was capable of taking on that kind of cold and stress and be ok. I never thought I would ever try anything crazy like that because I freaking hate the cold! But it was still fascinating to me.

It was the part where he was explaining that he never gets sick because of how well his immune system was built up from all of the stress he was putting his body through that piqued my interest.

I decided to try going the entire Winter in a short sleeve shirt and start taking cold showers. This was way easier than I expected it to be. So I ultimately began getting into the ice.

I’ve been doing this for over 2 years now and I can attest to it building up your immune system as I haven’t been sick ever since that horrible flu!

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
