      Does living in Greenland cause comfort addiction because how peaceful it is? When you grow older do you thinks you will live in cities or places like this?

      Living in snow country in the U.S. Great Northwest is cold enough for me. I like my comforts way too much to even visit Greenland, but certainly enjoy seeing you, Erik, have an interesting and peaceful visit there. Looking forward to more episodes in Greenland and other remote spots if that's on your agenda for 2024.

    I also live in a small village, not in Greenland though. I also love the peace and quite 2:17 in the video. Most of the time I wake up to complete silence, when in winter, it gets quite cold.There is complete silence for multiple hours, sometimes even multiple days no birds,nothing. My village has ~25 people living. The village size is roughly in a 1km radius (obviously not a perfect circle). The thing is other villages are close by (~2-3km's away) and are a lot bigger, where as here this is the last point of civilization, beyond, the conditions are too harsh. Incredible experience and video. Awesome job. ;)

      Hi! Just wanted to say hello to a fellow OG... I started watching Erik when he'd only been doing it for about 6 months, I guess? Think he had ~5000 subs when I got in. I was a huge fan of his personal story telling in those early days, I remember thinking: phooph!, this guy is so gifted, and talented, and insightful- he'll go far in life! It's cool that after so many years, he's still a part of this platform, sharing different things, so we're able to keep up with him in some form. I personally vibed way more with his more intimate storytelling than the luxury real estate stuff, but it's always great every once in a while he'll give us something like this! I also feel like the older, original viewership is a kind of family. We share the same love of and camaraderie from those early videos. Take care, nice to see you here.

    There is a US Air Force base in Greenland much further north. My father went there a lot in the 70s and 80s for work, ate whale blubber with the locals, almost died when he got caught out in a storm with a friend, pretty place but very inhospitable.

      Pituffik Space Base, formerly Thule Air Base. Much further north yes, with very severe storms indeed. If your father enjoyed the time up here back then, he would physically revolt by the neglect of the base. Not much has improved in the timespan since then. Of course we have internet, which allowed me to watch this 16 minute video in 144 p over the course of half an hour!

I was anxious that I would find it difficult to adjust to a harsh Arctic climate but I was surprised. My body adapted quickly and was well received by the warmth of the people here. You just need to listen to them when they talk in their language. Hope you had an amazing time in Saqqaq and Greenland and please visit again in the future! 🙌
