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.

@@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.

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 ♾️.

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 😇

Its not that they think you're malicious. They have the means to find out who you guys are, and when they do find out that you are a popular KZbinr/Journalist/Travel Vlogger/Influencer etc (no matter how good your intention) they can simply accuse you of being a spy (or anything that threatens their state or nation) which allows them to arrest you under suspicion, especailly if you are not affiliated with the UN or MSF etc. This is so they can then extort you for money without getting backlash from global humanitarian organisations who would then be able to sanction the country from any international trade or assistance due to their illigal actions against foreigners.

I'm glad you and your crew were able to leave safely, that was so close. Thanks for introducing us to another great adventure...it was very touching!!!!

[@abigailcampos3]

This was such a heart warming video to watch ❤️that one man he was talking to most of the time seemed genuinely happy to show him their way of life, so much kindness in his eyes! loved this video

I'm so addicted to this channel. Look forward to coming home and binging a few episodes.

[@sinmiloluwaomole6077]

I couldn't help grinning all through this video. Proud to be an African. Job well yes theory. Blessings to y'all. Love from Nigeria!

[@camilla9301]

This is the most unsure I have ever seen Thomas. He is amazing and sweet, and I also think its good -and real - to se that not every meeting is as easy going! The villagers where so sweet❤️

[@surrealfabet]

Not many got the balls and heart to go through this. Thumbs up, God bless you!

[@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.

[@oreocat2884]

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

[@Billybobble1]

What beautiful people, I could feel their warmth and hospitality. This is the kind of video I sub for, thank you for bringing us these insights.

[@carterwinsor371]

this video made me smile the whole time.. Those people in the village or so kind and humble it’s amazing… compared to big cities in america and all the gang violence and drugs, it’s so peaceful in that village i love it🙏🏼

[@Stealste]

For years i've always been concerned about the decline of these native cultures due to influence from the wider world, but after seeing your conversation at night with that young man I can't help but wonder if it's a good thing at all to stifle the curiosity of such young people. It's an interesting thing to consider, and has definitely helped reshape the way I considered remote cultures around the world. I still don't know what to think about this, but thanks for the perspective Thomas.

I'm taking a class on educational communication and in it we had to study the ethics of having people 'leave their tribe'. 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.

[@johann8103]

My mom is German and my dad is from Cameroon. My family is from the Bassa tribe, not Baka. So it was interesting to learn more about my country.

[@rae4166]

The conversation with the guy with the lightning and storm in the background was such a stunning and heartwarming moment ❤

[@oasispr0ductionzz628]

Every time I watch they’re videos like this it makes me feel so warm in the heart these people have so little yet are so happy No TV, no distractions just each others company and so greatful for what they have still

Will there be more about what happened? That’s scary how they thought you were there for bad reasons. Good for you thomas for shedding light on these people and their struggles ❤ glad you’re safe!

[@nyuyseemmanuel7535]

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 😢

[@Rahhhlee]

The food part touched me deeply man, thanks for taking care of my people. Bless you 😭🙏🇿🇦

[@Avarixin]

Gotta say, my favorite thing about every country he visits is how respectable he is. Always willing to try things new and get out of his comfort zone. dude lives "seek discomfort". I'll be traveling the world soon with a new job I just obtained. I hope I can have the same spirit

[@flight101]

Beautiful people.. happy, kind and welcoming. Unlike the rest of the modern world. I love their happy smiles. May these people who do no harm to the world be blessed with all they deserve. ❤

[@amybenitez1984]

There’s never been a video that’s made me cry so many happy tears through out the entire video. Such wholesome people 🥹♥️ You guys live my dream!!

[@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.

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. ❤

[@jakecallinsky5170]

This is amazing! The tribe was so happy to have him. I only wish he would have been able to stay longer with them.

[@claudiamacias9937]

I love how open hearted you are ! I wish more people would be open to other cultures

[@aleanaterrell346]

24:25 How real this must have felt wow. Salute journalists for discovering more of what we didn’t know we were curious about

[@Taibete]

This reminds me of going back to my village and teaching my cousins all about the outside world

[@KanaiyaSK]

Bless them, they welcomed you so warmly and took you in straight away with nothing but pure kindness ❤

[@hannah1052]

Those people were so incredibly lovely to you! The traditional sunset dancing/singing was a treat to view. What a great experience. I hope you’ve recovered from the stress at the end

[@paulaalyssaverano869]

So much respect for Thomas, I hope you're safe on your trip. Thanks for letting us be part of this journey.

[@vivianthai6990]

My heart started racing at the end there too. I can't imagine all that stress and anxiety that built up from the situation

[@Delicate_Disaster]

seeing the conversation with that man outside his hut is amazing. Not knowing the sun is in every country or how planes carry people. His innocence and curiosity. Just wow.

[@joannashaw1908]

They are such beautiful people, with kind hearts, no matter how hard their life is xx

[@tomislavbrstilo4265]

Take that guy to Paris, I wonder how surprised he'd be. Would be a cool video!

[@we-sparknation373]

i am from Cameroon born and grew in that beautiful country and this tripe of people in the east of my country are one of the most amazing group of people you ever meet . They have an amazing life style e and they actually stay away from the technological advancements from the world and spending time with them you get to understand more thanks so much for choosing my country and this tribe for this experience

[@johnb6736]

Glad you're okay Thomas, such a good documentary and I'm so happy you get to visit Africa and experience cultures. To Ammar, Tommy and Thomas, Matt, and everyone else, you make the world a better place. Keep up the good work.

[@MsRaquelD]

Videos like these are so eye opening. They’re so needed to join cultures and life styles. I feel like I learn so much by having followed YT for the last few years. I appreciate you all so much for being willing to be uncomfortable and scared to bring awareness. We are all a lot more alike than different. Humanity is beautiful.

[@PoolSports]

I wish there is a way you could get back to help them, to fix the water at least as I can see their water is not clean ( a purified or water station maybe). Thank you for the video, its just heartwarming to see pure hearted smiles from their tribe.

[@akmagraff]

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😍

[@blackbeardsdelight]

The conversation about the airplane for some reason has me almost in tears. The genuine curiosity, the sweetness of the kindness between Thomas and the Tribe member, the fact he waited there until everyone else was gone to ask questions about the world… that moment I’m sure was on Gods highlight reel of humanity. I was having a bad day until I saw that moment.

[@anikasinghh]

Yes theory has literally changed my way of seeing things. You guys have connected me to the community and made me feel like a part of something so much bigger than me. Love u guys!!!

[@kathykenyon2079]

Another eye opening, epic adventure. It’s a shame you had to leave the country so quickly but glad you lived to tell the tale! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@kriss.universe8899]

I wish we could do more for them. Not to change their way of living but to help them prosper in their way of living. I hope they are doing okay today. And I hope they are able to build a school for their children and receive a way to improve their water situation. Sending love from the USA.❤️

[@cherylforeman]

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.
