Abandoned Alone in an African Tribe

Want to join us on an adventure next year? seek-discomfort.com/yes-theory
Here's the deal.. After Ammar took Seekers on adventures this year and also sponsored Nelly Attar to climb K2, I would like to also say thank you to those who support us through Seek Discomfort this holiday by taking a small group of 3 of you who purchase from Seek this Holiday on an adventure somewhere next year. We will contact the 3 adventurers by January 31st. If you have already purchased this holiday, you're already good to go :) if you'd like a chance to join me, you know where to go! ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
🙏🏼 Thank you for making these videos possible through your support of Seek Discomfort
When it comes to what happened at the end.. It really shook me, we felt with the local team that we'd really prepared the best we could but sometimes unexpected problems like this one can happen. We've checked several times and everyone there is fine, they were really just looking for me. Nothing like this had really happened before even though I have experience traveling to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Mauritania and I understand that there are things you can and cannot do. I went home after this trip to mentally recuperate and recharge.

To Thomas and the team, it's been a journey with Yes theory for 6years now, I always dreamed of this day when you'll visit one part of my country and show it to the world. The Baka or Pygmies mean a lot to Cameroon. Though I'm from the part of Cameroon colonized by England, i still feel very proud and honored by you visiting my country and telling our story to the world. This is what it means to live in a "democratic" dictatorship everyday. On behalf of all Cameroonians i feel honored. Hopefully the future will bring you hear again and we'll have a better story to tell. There's always hope in the Horizon. I love this family. Yes Theory forever ♾️.

The way he asked you about airplanes and how he thought that there are countries where you can't see the sun.. it made me very emotional, not because it's sad, but how you could speak in a language you both know and could explain him how it actually works. He must have felt so smart after that. These videos in Africa are beautiful! I do hope you guys will make more. Keep on doing this great work, Thomas and the gang. You are beautiful people with your heart on the right place. I love you in the most respectful way.

@@rimo7110 This is also what I'm most curious about. How do they see the world? I imagine when your life only revolves around such a small area, you'd have to be so connected to the land. They may not know about airplanes and cosmology but they must have such a good intuition with what is going on around them, climate change, etc. It would be an honor to have an insight into their wisdom and their unique truth.

As a Cameroonian, I really appreciate when people travel to Cameroon and tell the stories without any biases/presumptions. I am happy for you, that you got to experience this part of Cameroon, as many of us never get this far outside of our comfort zones. But I also really empathise with what you had to go through at the end of this experience and I hope it does not discourage any other plans you guys had for travelling around this beautiful continent. A well is a very common source of drinking water. At my parent's house, we actually dug one and sent out to the community where people could get free drinking water. So I will be happy to contribute to a cause that can provide one for this community. The Yes Theory team continues to inspire me to think different and be more open and this video did just that. As I travel and make videos my self, I try to keep this in mind. Thank you for what you do - and please keep doing what you do. It reaches more people than you can imagine 😇

It focused on how any education can radically shift someone's perspective irreversibly from that which they were raised, even say a liberal arts education. I argued that it is unethical to withhold education but we can't control how someone may interpret things and what they choose to do with their new outlook. I feel that education tears down prejudices and stereotypes so that we can be more empathetic to those outside of our tribe because we are given the gift of critical thinking.

i honestly loved seeing the kids reaction to the drone and how their faces just lit up with amazement

[@platinumtaterbug]

This reminds me so much of the time I spent 3 days with the Asmat people of New Guinea. They live practically a world away from the Baka, but go through the exact same struggles. Our group even did a hunting/gathering trip into the jungle with them like you and were covered in ants and spiders like you were. So many memories. We also brought gifts of food, medicine and things like soccer balls. We didn't speak the same language though. We had a translator with us that spoke Indonesian and English. A few of their town elders spoke Indonesian. Their food, which was pulp from the Sago trees, was very difficult to get down.

It showed me how much I take those things for granted (knowledge of, for me such simple things). It really struck me hard.

That's a shame about how the trip ended. He looked very nervous and uncomfortable the whole time, I guess things have changed over there. I visited the Baka in a different part of Cameroon many years ago. The group lived deep in the forest and we built huts together, cooked together, did each other's hair, wove belts, goofed around, and laughed around the fire each night. The forest was thick, lush and dark. There was no tension or discomfort. I guess things have changed now. The huts were a little different style and all the people dressed traditionally, there were no western clothes.

Have you been able to check on the Baka? Did they encounter problems from local authorities from your visit? Hopefully not, and hopefully connections will be made from this experience that will create benefit for them in the future.

Now i have so much respect for you fir visiting Africa and telling the world how beautiful African people are and hospitable as well As a kid I lived in the edge of am african forest and I remember my dad would always leave excess food just incase for strangers that travel at night so they always get something to eat..people would shout in the middle of the night once they are out of the forest so villagers nearby would come meet them and take them home..we didn't know them..but we helped them and treated them so well ...😊

Unfortunately my country is very weird they’ll always find reasons to bring up an issue and the try to fine you for it. That’s just how Cameroon is . Even we the citizens go through this a lot. Reason why I moved away from that country 😢

[@cedric7157]

Short correction: Cameroon was colonised first by Germany, after WWI it was split between England and France. The North-West was given to England. After the reunion in the 80s a huge conflict arose between the two cultures. It is still ongoing today.

[@arielsong1289]

The night talk makes me cry... For so long we have forgotten that, regardless of race, language, culture, we are all brothers and sisters. Nature separated us thousands years ago, that's why we now look, sound, think different, but whoa.. what stays the same, is the subtle affection for each other, the curiosity, the kids laughing, the music, the need for community.. these are in the core of our human soul.. Thank you for making this video, it is truly beautiful.

[@11jacqueline11]

This is one of my favourite videos Yes Theory has ever put out. I could really see Thomas seeking discomfort and the conversation he had at night was gift of connection we all are seeking. Such a beautiful group of people with such kindness. Sorry it ended on a negative note, I hope Thomas is okay and he returns to finish his vision of his Africa Saga series.

[@chasestankievech]

This was such a touching video you did Thomas. Leaving yourself so vulnerable is extremely admirable. The interactions you were able to have were amazing, genuine and eye opening, and made me emotional (“we won’t forget about you”). It’s awful it ended in such a manner…while experiencing another culture and way of life, and upon returning “back” meant fearing for safety. I’m excited to learn more from this African series, it’s been great so far! thank you for showing us a small bit of the Baka people and sharing their story.

[@abigailgarcia1874]

This video made me think about life and to not take any little thing I have in life for granted. When you were having a conversation about airplanes with the little kid at night made me tear up. They deserve to see the world and experience new things too.

This level of authenticity is my muse to bring a new perspective into light to those of us who are privileged and still take things for granted. Thank you Thomas for going through such discomfort and the team for portraying the whole journey so vulnerably. ❤

I stumbled upon your channel last week and was so elated it was the first video on your travel to Africa series. I was saying to myself should I recommend Cameroon as your next destination to Africa, not knowing your next video would be about the incredible Baka people of the East region of Cameroon. As a Cameroonian, I must must thank you for showing Cameroon to the people who might not have heard much or even know about us.

When the man bringing him to the village said that Thomas was there to see them and tell them that he knows they are there - it was such a simple but powerful statement.

Such a nice way to live, to be so close with everyone around you, and not work a corporate job with all the day to day rush and hurry we seem to have in our lives, but instead to spend time with each other and dance and just take care of your community. It’s so underrated and beautiful truly. This was great!!

The conversation about the airplane for some reason has me almost in tears.

[@lizzietheginger0137]

I have such a respect for you guys. The fact that Thomas knew the root language before he went to an isolated tribe is such a smart move. Imagine just popping into a village unwanted or uninvited and not even being able to communicate with the people in a language that they know. But he took the time to learn their country’s language..probably took the time to know and ask the people about the tribe. The local people that he had take him there most likely gained a respect for him because he was genuinely interested in knowing and learning about their culture. He befriended them by not endorsing his own culture but living presently in theirs.

The best thing about this channel is how it keeps reminding us that we all live on this planet together and the importance of embracing different cultures and mindsets. We have so much to learn from each other! I'm in Bali these days and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not amazed by humble kindness or forced to evaluate why we seek comfort, instead of adventure and personal growth. I'll be back in Norway in a couple of weeks to celebrate Christmas, but then I'll be off again on new adventures until my savings dry up. And then... who knows what life has in store. It'll work out. In any case I won't need to fear regretting not going for my dreams when I'm older. Yes Theory inspires everyone around them, whether that being in real life, or here on KZbin. Thank you for bringing us along, exciting as always😍
