      The SECOND I can afford it.. I have nagged my husband for months - much to his dismay 😂-that we need to find a way to squeak a few bucks out of the budget because I absolutely want to support you guys. I love what you do. And y’all entertain me on a regular and I believe you deserve to be paid for that!! so I will be signing up for Patreon as soon as I am able. Love you guys.!! ( PS. Also desperately want the extra content 😬❤)

      Your kids (and perhaps the parents too) should have experienced a (prep-for-life) *nature/open-air kindergarten* found everywhere here in Norway. Properly clothed kids in these kindergartens run around outdoors all yr - in the playground, in the woods or even in the mountains while being taken care of by B.S. level educated assistants and teachers. This way they NEVER complain about - and naturally becomes used to - any rain, slate, snow or a freeze - min temp for outdoor activities in kindergartens is -10C.
      Mind you 1: some of these kindergartens do ALL their activities outdoors, the only shelter is a (heated) lavvo, a tepee-style Sami tent.
      Mind you 2: in more regular kindergartens also infants are placed outdoors to sleep in cold weather, well tucked in in propper down sleeping bags or what have you.
      I guess your family unfortunately experienced only a fraction of the life and lifestyles we have here up north. Nothing wrong with the tropics, but having lived and worked in the tropics for 15 yrs I've always valued the positive sides of being able to adapt and thrive in all extremes. Cultures included.

    I love the way Riley depicted the abandonment as "leaving behind its nightmares and its dreams." Such a poignant way to put it. You guys slay the narration bit amongst everything else. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us!

    When I watch this channel I often feel as if I'm watching a PBS documentary (that's a good thing.) I'm amazed that the two of you with only minimal assistance and a limited budget can so closely emulate what they do with a much larger crew and budget. Keep up the good work.

    I'm just blown away how good this week's video is of such an unknown place (to me.) The research and fun way you tell it through adorable animation and explanation is better than any travel show I've seen whilst keeping tabs on just how you live and go through the day with amazing 2 boys growing up. Kudos!!

    It's so nice to see you guys exploring Svalbard and soon Norway. As a Norwegian I feel like I can speak for all of us when I say that I hope you'll enjoy it here! Very excited to see some videos maybe sailing the west coast? it's just so different geographically from much of the other places you've been.

    • @benjaminlanda8639
      @benjaminlanda8639 Рік тому +6

      Also something funny I noticed: the guide in this tour said "a pair of sausages", which is probably just badly translated Norwegian. A pair, or et par in Norwegian more-often means a couple of, unintentional probably from the guide but still funny!

    This is by far my most favourite video you have uploaded. Maybe it's because I want to spend time in Svalbard. Amazing spot on our planet. Loved that you two were so enthralled with Pyramiden ... I am too. Raw history. Moving. Cecilia (who lives in Svalbard) has been there too - but your visit to this frontier fringe town really represented the past and present so well. You obviously loved it. The vessel is a treat and the crew so engaging. Appendix? Lol. Anyway I've never done this before ... about to replay this episode. Thank you. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺

    That was an interesting moment when Lenny requested dad Dad and not videographer Dad to look his coloring page. "Well, you have to see it with your eyes."... and put a hand over the camera lens. Shows how well you guys communicate with the boys. I think it's cool that he's comfortable doing that.

    As a Minnesotan (U.S. state bordering Canada), I can PROMISE you seeing snow for the first time after not seeing it for a while NEVER gets old. For many of us, the first snowfall of the season is always so magical and fun. Even though we have to get out our shovels and snow blowers and all the accoutrements of a cold, snowy winter, a lot of us are just as tickled to see snow as you Aussies are! I love to see you enjoying a cold climate and how enthusiastic you are about the whole experience. Many people find the cold to be nothing but miserable and I really appreciate the good PR ;) Thanks!!

    Good that you are pushing the boundaries a bit. Red hair and cold weather and places that aren't all different versions of the tropics. It really livened up your attitudes. You seem delighted. Haven't seen that in awhile. You want more snow? I'm going into a whole winter of the stuff. Come and take all you want. Montana, USA

    I think that "a pair of sausages" is common terminology in Europe (at least in Germany it is). 😉 When sausages are made, they are usually hung in a pair throughout the process (2 sausages connected at one end). In a restaurant or markets sausages are often served as a pair.
