  • Hiii guys! Today I have a longer video for you - we are going hiking! I show you what I wear for hiking here on Svalbard, my tips and tricks for mild winter clothing and then we head up Platåfjellet (plateau mountain). Let me know in the comments what you think about a longer video :)

    Love the longer videos too! And really appreciate the effort in taking the hiking shots where you have to set the camera up and walk back down... you basically are hiking mountain twice!
    You need some sponsors for that gear. Perhaps sometime you can show how you keep your car going through -40 temps when it is out in the wind. That's some feat!

I was looking for new channels over this holiday break and am so glad RUclips recommended you. I live in Quebec, Canada so I have a definite appreciation for long, cold and dark winters, although we do still have daylight! I like living in a cold climate, last summer we had a long heatwave and I was fantasizing about living in an even more northern location. I find northern countries so beautiful and comfortable and would never want to live anywhere else. Happy holidays/new year!

    Another great video. I especially loved the music of the harp and strings that you used for the hike portion. The harp really goes well with the snow flakes falling down and going up it was mostly harp and guitar but at the summit then the strings came into the music which was spot on for reaching the top and looking down at the view. I laughed at Grim pulling you down the mountain! I have to say I would be terrified to go by myself on a hike in the dark up that mountain knowing there could be polar bears up there. I also was laughing when you were showing us what you wear before leaving the cabin and I could hear Grim whining in the background because he wanted to go already!
