Hi team, I doubt you'll see this comment but I wanted to leave a note letting you know how grateful I am for the positive content you consistently put out. My brother, Frank, tragically took his own life seven weeks ago; he had introduced me to your channel. He truly lived his life with similar values to you all, and we cremated him in his Seek Discomfort t-shirt that I bought for him last Christmas. You all have a tremendously uplifting impact on me and I know your content inspired him too. Thank you for shedding light on the positivity that exists in the world today and for always being open about mental health. All the love Alec
Hi Alec I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I had to pause for a good 10 minutes before being able to type anything. There’s obviously nothing that I can say here that will ever make up for the pain you and your family must have been through I just hope you yourself at this point is able to take care of yourself and that you reach out for support from reliable sources if you ever need it ❤️ sending you love my friend. May he Rest In Peace ❤️
I just turn 51 years old and never travel anywhere around the world but watching you guys go everywhere I really really enjoy it thank you guys for everything you do God bless you love you all
Ammar is the MVP. Poor man gets handed all kinds of barriers and still manages to finally get to travel. He alone is a Seek Discomfort journey, a story to be told on its own.
You dislike the stuff that gets uploaded by my fingers clicking upload? Are you just a h8er boi? I say see you l8er, boi. Don't watch the stuff that gets uploaded by my fingers clicking upload anymore. Your dislikes are damaging my good good GOOD reputation. I am a superstar, dear cle
You guys are the only reason I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone, I moved accross Canada. Got a high paying job that’s 2 weeks working, 2 weeks off. I spend my two weeks travelling and doing things outside my comfort zone. My life has changed so much, I went from being stuck in a small town in Newfoundland to living my dream travelling the world in 2 months.

"every king was once a baby; every building once a blueprint; so don't worry about your future, live life in the present". My guy was prepared his entire life to deliver motivational quotes LOL
The power of yes fam shows through once again! 😭 I was so stressed 😩 took me back to when my own father was about to be deported and we had just a day to figure out what to do in order to stop the process. Emotions were high running on no sleep just stress. I’m so glad this community has brought about so many creative and kind genuine souls together
Not exaggerating, Anurag is probably the person with the most natural chemistry with you guys that I've ever seen come on the channel. I honestly wouldn't even bat an eye if someone told me he was the long lost permanent Yes Theory member. More of him!! (please)
Guys you are not gonna believe this but Anurag is an alumina from the school in which I study in. And I have met him a couple of times . The hoodie he was wearing at the start was from the same school
I am so sorry you guys had this experience with Norway. Had I been more up to date on your socials I could have helped, but so glad you found someone who could! :) Im from Norway myself and had similar issues when my girlfriend from the US was visiting during Covid. You guys have a lot of fans here!☺️
Spitsbergen was discovered by a Dutch man. I thank this Dutch man with whole my heart. Been there several times and am planning to go there again for a month.
I'm in Longyearbyen now!! My experience right now is super different! I'm experiencing the polar nights, and even though that sounds depressing, it's one of the most magical and mysterious things I've ever experienced. You can see the northern lights at midday, when the moon is out, you can see the contours of the mountains. In the beginning it felt dark, but your eyes get used to it. You start to appreciate every little bit of light you get. Also the local community truly comes alive and starts coming together. So if you can, please try to pay Longyearbyen and Svalbard a visit. It's truly one of the most unique places in the world.
Crazy to see that I met this random guy on the YesTheory discord server asking for help in my home town and now it turns out he went on a trip with them and saved Ammar
Is this the guy who helped Ammar convert his US covid certificate to a EU one? Me and my girlfriend are flying to tromsø from Spain and Italy respectively on Friday and we don’t know what to do. We both have US vivid certificates and only found out through this video that it won’t be ok.
@@MichaelScootNorwesh being inside europe right now you could investigate like the german guy did on how to convert your certificate (he did on pharmacy). Also you should always google the requirements of travel to each country!! Good luck
How does Yes Theory ALWAYS find strangers who have such good personalities that match with their personalities😂. But Yes Fam is such a good community though!
Even this 69 year old great granny here would get along with them. Granted, physically, I couldn't do what they do,but I could share their enthusiasm. (Also, I haven't drank in 41 years, but I do enjoy a legal toke or two in the evening.)
I cried throughout this. When Anurag saved the day, I thought "You guys have to take him on an adventure." I didn't have to wait for that to happen. Loved it!
I really think that people like him are not allowed to travel free with a reason. This guy is a coward who escaped his own country, and bought a citizenship of other one. That's shameful! And I know what's his father meant saying he is perverted. Ammar like boys more than he should, which is a problem from where he comes from..
@@freetibett5024 What do you believe this reason is? Ammar is a guy who uses his brain, a guy who uses his resources around him to enhance his life, to enjoy life to fuller extent. If you believe that pain and suffering is the right way to live life, so be it, live your life that way. There is no need to degrade others because of your own personal beliefs.

While am watching Ammar being saved from deportation by Anurag , I was thinking i know the guys are going to really appreciate this and reward him somehow and then continued to watch the video to find out that yes theory has yet again met high expectations of how good of humans you guys are in real life not just for content. Much respect . Wish you the best in your future adventures all together with Ammar finally as a united family . Love from Egypt.
Loved it. I m from Pakistan, (Balochistan) , long drought spells of drought are normal way of life here the region is barren and we barely experience rain, snow is a treat which we rarely see in this part of the planet earth. Zero temperatures , snow covered mountains and land is something we dream of always. Thanks guys for taking us to the North Pole. Keep it up.
Fun fact about Svalbard-to study at the University centre, UNIS, you have to do a 1-week safety course which includes learning to use a rifle, which you aren't allowed to leave the township without
The more I watch this channel the more I fall in love with all of you and the goal you guys have and trying for it. Love the energy, friendship and respect all of you showing through these context. Wish you all success. Big fan, Ali
I'm living in Germany and want to get in contact with the guy who saved Amar. I'm working for a Swedish company here and would love to chat with him about getting him hired by my company.
Thomas, why does every episode of YES THEORY bring me to tears?. I think, it is the overwhelming love that everyone shows in every episode. I LOVE YOU ALL.
I got accepted to a summer school in Svalbard for the last 2 years, but because of COVID and being from a high risk country, I couldn't go either time. Great to see you guys enjoying Svalbard!
@@gabrielam2757 depends on eligibility. My university (university of the highlands and islands) has it as a study abroad option on our undergraduate marine science with Arctic studies degree so lots of my friends go there-I think other universities might also have it as a study abroad option but I'm not sure . I got in to the permafrost summer school, which requires geology/earth science credits (covid meant I couldn't go though)-they also have a physical changes in the high Arctic summer school for undergrads. There are also masters courses/summer schools and PhDs you can do at UNIS. Most people who go are in marine science, earth science, climate science or biology degrees-they also have some decent robotics up there. Don't think there are social science courses but you could check. They are free to apply to through the Norwegian University portal if you do want to go.
@@arhamshah8473 the permafrost summer school. The website is annoying so it might be hard to find, but it is there. It doesn't run every year, but applications are due in February and the course is ~1 month, usually beginning in July
@@10sansari 😂 same here. I want to invent a giant heat bulb like reptiles use and place it in my room during the winter. A nice 27°C is minimum temperature for me.
As a Caribbean national, this video made me so happy! Especially seeing Ammar's struggles over the years because of his citizenship. Love this for him! Can't wait to see all of you guys on new adventures 🤗💜
I feel so bad for the treatment of Ammar. Every time the situation gets so frustrating like this I get so sad for him. Omg! Ammar! I am always praying for your safe travel and hope that every time you enter an airport you’ll never have to experience a bad and stressful experience. Prayers for the team as well! Thank you for giving us an amazing content! We may never got the chance to travel as of now, you guys takes us to these wonderful places that we never thought we could see and experience. Thank you, guys!!
As someone who lives in the Arctic circle, it’s so beautiful. Winter surrounding has this beauty to it that is so powerful, it’s hard to explain. Snowy mountains, bright skies, things formed out of ice, and silence is truly beautiful.
am recent member of the fam. Man I love where you guys stand for and your enthousiasm about seeking lessons outside boundaries of comfort, to question everything and always seek to grow as humans. You are enriching my life with your content - so happy to be here!
All this stuff going on in the world currently puts me in a negative mood, but watching Yes Theory cures that. The happiness and respect everyone has for one another is heavenly.
Amar, you are the example for everyone out there that traveling can go wrong, but a positive attitude is what its all about! You are strong enough to handle it which is why its your role.
Believe or not the town you went to is only governored by Norway. However it is also the only town in the world where it is illegal to die in. The Black Death almost wiped this place off the map twice.
It blows my mind how many people this channel has touched. I'm a recent viewer, but I feel like I must have missed so much. I'm excited to watch many more of your videos!
You guys are my favorite TH-camrs for this very exact reason. You value connection and friendships over anything which is what I believe makes you stronger. I am always amazed by all the things you do and all the places you’ve been. You guys give hope, inspiration, happiness, and honestly just all kinds of feelings (the good kind lol). The way that you connect with Yes Fam is honestly so wonderful to see. No wonder y’all have supporters even in the northernmost part of the world! Please keep making this beautiful content. I am super grateful to be part of a community who always shows nothing but love and support and strives to seek discomfort even in the smallest ways! Thank you for giving us a voice. We love you. Love over fear, always. ❤️
That QR issue was insane! What the hell kind of world we'r living in? Obviously nobody wanted to put in any effort, it should be such an easy fix. Happy you got it fixed dude
Umm it's a common and easy rule, as there's no network for Norwegian border patrol to verify that covid vaccines are legit unless it's EU verified and this is very clearly stated on immigration and tourism information that you're supposed to check before travelling to a country.
Honestly no, it was their mistake and it's common knowledge that other country's vaccine certificates might not get accepted because they have no way of verifying it - that's why they made the EU certificate in the first place, because otherwise each EU country might've had a different certificate and travel within the EU would've possibly been limited. It is annoying but also, the Americans that I know that live here made sure to get an EU certificate upon arrival - they should've done the same
@@user-es7ui5mc1m no, it’s the most asinine requirement that only European bureaucrats would come up with to generate money for themselves out of nowhere. They could’ve easily passed a rule that other country certificates are acceptable. And the fact that they would go as far as deporting him in 25 minutes rather than giving him opportunity to arrange an alternative in a reasonable amount of time just further proves this point. I’m not an anti-vaxxer, nor do I deny the importance of Covid measures, but this ain’t it - this is just bureaucracy trying to prove they’re still useful.
I am so glad that Anurag helped save Ammar to go on this adventure! I highly respect Anurag a really cool stranger featured on Yes Theory, I also can't wait to see more videos with Ammar!
You guys should’ve met up with Cecilia Blomdahl! She’s a TH-camr too whose lived in Longyearbyen for years, I’m sure she’d be a great guide around the town
I was just watching a video of hers. I’ve seen a few, one of which I’m sure said something about polar bears and a law about taking a gun with you outside of the town 😨. Not sure if a local would be walking into a cave.
I remember watching this play out live on instagram. There was nothing I could do, but i kept refreshing instagram to see if there were updates on the story and I sent so many positive vibes to Ammar. I cheered when we got the update he got help with seconds to spare!
What a world we live in today. Having a passport from a country you've never been to and avoiding deportation by scanning a picture on your cellphone 🤣
You know you have to go to Saint Kitts sometime soon right? You gotta show us what this island nation that gave you this freedom looks like! Also, it will be a lot less scary if you're ever threatened with deportation again.
I had a similar airport experience when I was traveling to the US from Sweden middle landing in Switzerland and I was only a kid and they wanted to turn me around alone and send me back to Sweden because I only had my Swedish passport but I'm born in the USA. my dad thankfully stayed calm and managed to convince them that they can't send an 11 year old kid back alone when they're going on a family vacation and they finally listened to him letting us trough. Airports just suck to deal with
I thought this was going to be boring. In Longyearbyen, but after Tommy's savior came and both him and Tommy turned into total badasses swimming in 8.5 degree Fahrenheit water. Holy-frickin-cow !!! And exploring an ice cave, then most amazingly meeting up with a bunch of Yes Theory fans !! I totally got a warm fuzzy feeling from this vid. Still smiling.
Totally love this quest -- their whole philosophy -- inspiring as I go into my 7th decade -- playing electric guitar, lifting weights, learning new languages, saying YES more often -- wish I could've joined you on Svalbard.
The proof of the yes theory family positive vibe is so evident here. And also the evolution of Tommy from a introverted young man to the man he has become is amazing
It has been great watching you all go through life. I have been feeling really great because of your videos. You put a smile in my face amidst the challenges.
Hi i'm from Bosnia and Herzegovina and i have been watching your videos 3 full years now and all i want to say that im happy for u all and in these last 3 videos u made me cry and fele happy im so grateful for your videos hope u guys stay like this forever
This Video is everything that Yes theory represents. The discomfort and the community that you guys have created giving back to you. Couldn't be more happier👏 Continue with spreading the Happiness 🇰🇪
That was absolutely amazing, you took a advid watcher and took him on a once in a lifetime adventure with once in a lifetime people. Truly amazing content.
Pretty sure I wish I had your guys' job more than any other job on earth. I feel very limited in what I'm able to do in life but I live vicariously through your adventures. You have inspired me to try saying yes to more opportunities and I hope I can have at least a tiny fraction of what you guys have experienced in my own life.
I don't remember the last time i commented on a TH-cam video but what you guys did for Omar and your whole team and the vision is absolutely beautiful. This is by far one of the best forms of entertainment and inspiration on TH-cam.
Seeing u guys come from 7k subscribers to 7million is insane, the production has grown and the chemistry between all of you has always been spectaculaire, a bunch of best friends traveling is a dream of mine and we have started this summer and hopefully many more exploration across the world
@@zBPS I'm sorry mistar detective, let me shed some light for you, the first video I saw from these guys was selling a painting, which is still up, 7 years ago, technically I have been on TH-cam since I can remember using the actual internet, I also remember TH-cam crashing when rockstar uploaded the gta4 trailer, and I have checked this before I am subscribed on my old account to yes theory as well
Ammar has really been through it with immigrations. It’s so crazy to see how varied the experiences can be for people just because of their birth places.
Don't wanna be rude, I love ur videos and positive ideas. But it literally says it on their website: "The U.S. CDC vaccine card is not accepted as proof of vaccination upon entry to Norway." This has nothing to do with Amars incredible long and frustrating Journey, only taking the research timeabout regulations.
That reanactment at the airport was so wholesome, loved it !! 😂 come to New-Brunswick, Canada ❤ Amazing nature, views, mountains, waterfalls, activities, people, restaurants etc. ( specifically the maritimes, the culture is one you'll never forget ! ) Great chance to learn Chiac 😁 ( acadian french )
I live in Norway and know a lot about the conditions we face up north, loved this video, great information and you had a perfect pronounciation for the places you were mentioning! As a country which never gets much recognition, at least not in terms of traditions or places, I really appreciated how you took time to actually pronounce the names of our cities! Great video, as always.
@@bodigames That has nothing to do with my comment. The island is a part of Norway and the cities and names are therefore Norwegian. I’m simply stating that I appreciate him being so attentive to the correct pronunciation. Had nothing to do with who discovered it or whatnot.
@@dianak2005 Yes it does. You said “As a country which never gets much Recognition” So I just pointed out that Svalbard was discovered by a Dutchmen. Thats it.
Yes Theory needs to do their “throw a dart at a map and fly there” video but with a map of the world!!!
YESS AND THEY CAN FINALLY TAKE AMMAR WITH THEM!
Yes!
The video is called “Spinning the Globe and Flying Wherever it Lands”
I think they did
They’ve done that already

As a Norwegian, the real star of the show in this video is Thomas' upbringing allowing excellent pronounciation of Longyearbyen.
That’s because his family is Swedish 😄
He is Swedish m8
😂
Fun Fact, the most northern point in the world is actually underwater
😳
nah man, there's ice
@@SuperGamerLT but ice is water.
that makes me think, what happens to a compass if you are at the most northern point of the earth ;)
Technically it would be on top of the water
The more I watch this channel the more I fall in love with all of you and the goal you guys have and trying for it. Love the energy, friendship and respect all of you showing through these context. Wish you all success.
Big fan, Ali
Great video from you guys
I'm living in Germany and want to get in contact with the guy who saved Amar. I'm working for a Swedish company here and would love to chat with him about getting him hired by my company.
Lol
da wünsche ich dir doch viel glück hans :)
Sir do you work in renewable energy sector?
@@piyushnandurdikar9234 yes i do
@@HansStam oh Great!
I was planning to do masters in renewable energy in Germany, do you have any advice for me?
Thomas, why does every episode of YES THEORY bring me to tears?. I think, it is the overwhelming love that everyone shows in every episode. I LOVE YOU ALL.
This video was not about Svalbard, but the journey and people along the way, as it should be! Well done guys, amazing content as always!
Not the destination, but the journey, as Thomas said😀
@@stan3357 its neither, its the company
I got accepted to a summer school in Svalbard for the last 2 years, but because of COVID and being from a high risk country, I couldn't go either time. Great to see you guys enjoying Svalbard!
Damn, that's awesome. Do you know how someone can apply to that?
@@gabrielam2757 depends on eligibility. My university (university of the highlands and islands) has it as a study abroad option on our undergraduate marine science with Arctic studies degree so lots of my friends go there-I think other universities might also have it as a study abroad option but I'm not sure . I got in to the permafrost summer school, which requires geology/earth science credits (covid meant I couldn't go though)-they also have a physical changes in the high Arctic summer school for undergrads. There are also masters courses/summer schools and PhDs you can do at UNIS. Most people who go are in marine science, earth science, climate science or biology degrees-they also have some decent robotics up there. Don't think there are social science courses but you could check. They are free to apply to through the Norwegian University portal if you do want to go.
@@sharks2571 Thank you very much!
what did you apply for? i mean which course
@@arhamshah8473 the permafrost summer school. The website is annoying so it might be hard to find, but it is there. It doesn't run every year, but applications are due in February and the course is ~1 month, usually beginning in July
I love your hugs, you can feel the love you are spreading
As someone who adores the cold, this would've been epic. So glad Ammar managed to get through.
As someone who despises the cold, this would've been painful 🥶
@@10sansari 😂 same here. I want to invent a giant heat bulb like reptiles use and place it in my room during the winter. A nice 27°C is minimum temperature for me.
@@Beelzebubby91 Longyearbyen has temperatures under 10 degrees in the summer. Haha
Thomas greeting Andreas by holding his face in both hands is so gentle and kind
😅❤️
Europeans am I right
As a Caribbean national, this video made me so happy! Especially seeing Ammar's struggles over the years because of his citizenship. Love this for him! Can't wait to see all of you guys on new adventures 🤗💜
I feel so bad for the treatment of Ammar. Every time the situation gets so frustrating like this I get so sad for him. Omg! Ammar! I am always praying for your safe travel and hope that every time you enter an airport you’ll never have to experience a bad and stressful experience. Prayers for the team as well! Thank you for giving us an amazing content! We may never got the chance to travel as of now, you guys takes us to these wonderful places that we never thought we could see and experience. Thank you, guys!!
when they aren't in serious situations, this channel is just pure vibes
High five to people who care to help. Beautiful soul.
It's really insane what they do, congratz to all Yes Theory!
As someone who lives in the Arctic circle, it’s so beautiful. Winter surrounding has this beauty to it that is so powerful, it’s hard to explain. Snowy mountains, bright skies, things formed out of ice, and silence is truly beautiful.
am recent member of the fam. Man I love where you guys stand for and your enthousiasm about seeking lessons outside boundaries of comfort, to question everything and always seek to grow as humans. You are enriching my life with your content - so happy to be here!
All this stuff going on in the world currently puts me in a negative mood, but watching Yes Theory cures that. The happiness and respect everyone has for one another is heavenly.
Amar, you are the example for everyone out there that traveling can go wrong, but a positive attitude is what its all about! You are strong enough to handle it which is why its your role.
Not sure how I just found this channel but the binge is real. Thx for having such adapt personalities
Just bought the 'Do It Scared' hoodie! Can't wait for it to arrive!
Oh amazing! Can’t wait for you to get it and see you rep it 🙏🙏🙏
Believe or not the town you went to is only governored by Norway. However it is also the only town in the world where it is illegal to die in. The Black Death almost wiped this place off the map twice.
What's up checkmark
How can dramatic representation bring tears to eyes! So happy that Ammar could finally make it to the destination.
It blows my mind how many people this channel has touched. I'm a recent viewer, but I feel like I must have missed so much. I'm excited to watch many more of your videos!
You guys are my favorite TH-camrs for this very exact reason. You value connection and friendships over anything which is what I believe makes you stronger. I am always amazed by all the things you do and all the places you’ve been. You guys give hope, inspiration, happiness, and honestly just all kinds of feelings (the good kind lol). The way that you connect with Yes Fam is honestly so wonderful to see. No wonder y’all have supporters even in the northernmost part of the world! Please keep making this beautiful content. I am super grateful to be part of a community who always shows nothing but love and support and strives to seek discomfort even in the smallest ways! Thank you for giving us a voice. We love you.
Love over fear, always. ❤️
That QR issue was insane! What the hell kind of world we'r living in? Obviously nobody wanted to put in any effort, it should be such an easy fix. Happy you got it fixed dude
That made me so infuriated! can't believe we've all let this happen!
Umm it's a common and easy rule, as there's no network for Norwegian border patrol to verify that covid vaccines are legit unless it's EU verified and this is very clearly stated on immigration and tourism information that you're supposed to check before travelling to a country.
Honestly no, it was their mistake and it's common knowledge that other country's vaccine certificates might not get accepted because they have no way of verifying it - that's why they made the EU certificate in the first place, because otherwise each EU country might've had a different certificate and travel within the EU would've possibly been limited. It is annoying but also, the Americans that I know that live here made sure to get an EU certificate upon arrival - they should've done the same
@@user-es7ui5mc1m no, it’s the most asinine requirement that only European bureaucrats would come up with to generate money for themselves out of nowhere. They could’ve easily passed a rule that other country certificates are acceptable.
And the fact that they would go as far as deporting him in 25 minutes rather than giving him opportunity to arrange an alternative in a reasonable amount of time just further proves this point.
I’m not an anti-vaxxer, nor do I deny the importance of Covid measures, but this ain’t it - this is just bureaucracy trying to prove they’re still useful.
@@TheWefikus Completely agree. We've gone too far. It's become more than about public health now.
Feeling proud as an Indian for what my fellow did ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Travelling has no race, ethnicity or religion.
Travellers are global citizen 🎉
Amen, in all faiths and languages❣️
I am so glad that Anurag helped save Ammar to go on this adventure!
I highly respect Anurag a really cool stranger featured on Yes Theory, I also can't wait to see more videos with Ammar!
You guys should’ve met up with Cecilia Blomdahl! She’s a TH-camr too whose lived in Longyearbyen for years, I’m sure she’d be a great guide around the town
I love her videos.
Yes! She is an incredible videographer and photographer.
I was just watching a video of hers. I’ve seen a few, one of which I’m sure said something about polar bears and a law about taking a gun with you outside of the town 😨. Not sure if a local would be walking into a cave.
This amount of kindness that you're giving us throught your videos, gives me hope fore humanity.
You guys need to check out Cecilia Blomdahl, she’s lives in Svalbard and makes the most interesting content!!
I was thinking the same thing!
That was my first thought. I love watching her content.
Was thinking to write just this.
Nah.
She’s great!
I remember watching this play out live on instagram. There was nothing I could do, but i kept refreshing instagram to see if there were updates on the story and I sent so many positive vibes to Ammar. I cheered when we got the update he got help with seconds to spare!
What a world we live in today. Having a passport from a country you've never been to and avoiding deportation by scanning a picture on your cellphone 🤣
You know you have to go to Saint Kitts sometime soon right? You gotta show us what this island nation that gave you this freedom looks like! Also, it will be a lot less scary if you're ever threatened with deportation again.
Nice friendly people. Not a lot of excitement there. We circled both islands and took a ferry to Nevis and back all during a cruise ship stop.
was lucky enough to spend a week there. awesome beautiful island
I had a similar airport experience when I was traveling to the US from Sweden middle landing in Switzerland and I was only a kid and they wanted to turn me around alone and send me back to Sweden because I only had my Swedish passport but I'm born in the USA.
my dad thankfully stayed calm and managed to convince them that they can't send an 11 year old kid back alone when they're going on a family vacation and they finally listened to him letting us trough.
Airports just suck to deal with
These vaccine passports are becoming absurd. It's pure political bureaucracy. Just as most people feared. It's not saving anyone from anything.
I thought this was going to be boring.
In Longyearbyen, but after Tommy's savior came and both him and Tommy turned into total badasses swimming in
8.5 degree Fahrenheit water.
Holy-frickin-cow !!!
And exploring an ice cave, then most amazingly meeting up with a bunch of Yes Theory fans !! I totally got a warm fuzzy feeling from this vid. Still smiling.
You mean Ammar's savior, Anurag.
Totally love this quest -- their whole philosophy -- inspiring as I go into my 7th decade -- playing electric guitar, lifting weights, learning new languages, saying YES more often -- wish I could've joined you on Svalbard.
th-cam.com/video/-MuNmLiRlP4/w-d-xo.html
The proof of the yes theory family positive vibe is so evident here. And also the evolution of Tommy from a introverted young man to the man he has become is amazing
It has been great watching you all go through life. I have been feeling really great because of your videos. You put a smile in my face amidst the challenges.
"You can not control the process but you can control the people you chose to be with during the process"
That hit me!
This video literally showcased so many things that is about the “YES Family”.... This is really an amazing video. kudos
Showcased how dumb they are, didn't check about the vaccine proof thing
Hi i'm from Bosnia and Herzegovina and i have been watching your videos 3 full years now and all i want to say that im happy for u all and in these last 3 videos u made me cry and fele happy im so grateful for your videos hope u guys stay like this forever
i want this guy to be in all yes theory vids he seems like a cool person.
The fact that we get free travel videos on TH-cam by Yes Theory is truly a gift 👍
This Video is everything that Yes theory represents. The discomfort and the community that you guys have created giving back to you. Couldn't be more happier👏
Continue with spreading the Happiness 🇰🇪
This is why all youtubers should keep some type of open connection with their fan base. Never know how helpful 1 of them can be.
That was absolutely amazing, you took a advid watcher and took him on a once in a lifetime adventure with once in a lifetime people. Truly amazing content.
I love how calm Ammar is but he's down for anything
Pretty sure I wish I had your guys' job more than any other job on earth. I feel very limited in what I'm able to do in life but I live vicariously through your adventures. You have inspired me to try saying yes to more opportunities and I hope I can have at least a tiny fraction of what you guys have experienced in my own life.
Damn man, Ammar doesn't only Seek Discomfort, he always finds it too!! I hope life becomes better and better for you!!
I don't remember the last time i commented on a TH-cam video but what you guys did for Omar and your whole team and the vision is absolutely beautiful.
This is by far one of the best forms of entertainment and inspiration on TH-cam.
U guys make me cry almost every time. Love it. So glad our German friend said YES!
Seeing u guys come from 7k subscribers to 7million is insane, the production has grown and the chemistry between all of you has always been spectaculaire, a bunch of best friends traveling is a dream of mine and we have started this summer and hopefully many more exploration across the world
you’ve been here since 7k subs? interesting how you only have 11 comments posted 🤔
+ your account was created in 2016, wasn’t he above 7k at that point?
@@zBPS I'm sorry mistar detective, let me shed some light for you, the first video I saw from these guys was selling a painting, which is still up, 7 years ago, technically I have been on TH-cam since I can remember using the actual internet, I also remember TH-cam crashing when rockstar uploaded the gta4 trailer, and I have checked this before I am subscribed on my old account to yes theory as well
DBC.. Daily Blessings Coming!
Thank You ALL for Everything, Everyday!!
Wow! Stay Safe, BE FREE, STAY BLESSED!!
Ammar has really been through it with immigrations.
It’s so crazy to see how varied the experiences can be for people just because of their birth places.
Yeah but this one was more due to insufficient preperation and research and has nothing to do with his nationality.
After an exhausting day, I saw this video and it's you guys only you who put a smile on my face. Grateful I'm part of your community.
Thanks Guys
"It's not about the destination, it's about the seeds planted along the way". You guys were literally right in front of the answer lmao.
You guys should definitely travel South Africa ! Very unique place with a lot of cultural variety and insane landscapes
As a Cape Townian, I second this! 🥺 .
As a fellow Brazilian i will only say, Come to Beşiktaş
As a Cape Townian I have beeeeen hoping for this and I just happen to come across them and join in an adventure or something 😂
Extremely dangerous as well
@@costa2k1 Very true. But isn’t it dangerous everywhere nowadays?
Don't wanna be rude, I love ur videos and positive ideas. But it literally says it on their website: "The U.S. CDC vaccine card is not accepted as proof of vaccination upon entry to Norway." This has nothing to do with Amars incredible long and frustrating Journey, only taking the research timeabout regulations.
Oh my. I wonder about the conversion process..
@@banshee1133 I looked it up- apparently a few German organizations are doing it for foreigners so they can get through Europe.
I'm so happy for Ammar!!! Thank God you got through and the yes fam came through that was awesome!!💚
That reanactment at the airport was so wholesome, loved it !! 😂 come to New-Brunswick, Canada ❤ Amazing nature, views, mountains, waterfalls, activities, people, restaurants etc. ( specifically the maritimes, the culture is one you'll never forget ! ) Great chance to learn Chiac 😁 ( acadian french )
I live in Norway and know a lot about the conditions we face up north, loved this video, great information and you had a perfect pronounciation for the places you were mentioning! As a country which never gets much recognition, at least not in terms of traditions or places, I really appreciated how you took time to actually pronounce the names of our cities! Great video, as always.
Svalbard was discovered by a Dutch man.
You can thank him for having Svalbard in todays era.
@@bodigames That has nothing to do with my comment. The island is a part of Norway and the cities and names are therefore Norwegian. I’m simply stating that I appreciate him being so attentive to the correct pronunciation. Had nothing to do with who discovered it or whatnot.
@@dianak2005 Yes it does.
You said “As a country which never gets much Recognition”
So I just pointed out that Svalbard was discovered by a Dutchmen.
Thats it.
@@bodigames Oh, yeah.
Omg 6:10 that person is amazing!!!! I got the feels😭❤️💪📹
