Oh a drone my have saved a little time finding a clean passage! Your journey and the commentary wonderfully captured my heart and imagination 🙏🙏🙏🫶🏽❤️🇦🇺
Ça me rappelle les premiers essais à Montréal et j’étais venu vous voir sur le lac gelé. Ce que j’avais vécu me fait réaliser combien vous avez fait preuve de ténacité, de courage.
Incredible trip, such a will to fight! I understand the need of keep the cat light ( it's well seen in their struggle to advance in most of the terrains), but leave without a basic redundancy, it'a a too huge risk. However your skills and good humor, made the miracle, and you're back home safe and sound. All my respect! 🙏
Einfach nur: Hut ab! Respekt! Es ist immer eines der Härtesten: aufzugeben. Aber definitiv die richtige Entscheidung. Es ist wesentlich wichtiger zu überleben, als das eigene Leben zu riskieren, insbesondere wenn man Familie hat. Und die Bedingungen waren ja auch absolut nicht wie erwartet: was ich hier gesehen habe: unmöglich.
Thank you for daring to try. You have my respect and thanks.I served 22 in an army. It is the trying that is important. We can all sit back and watch others. It is the others that show us the way in life. I organised an expedition in the southern ocean. It was stopped the day before I left by a bureaucratic selfish fool. I know how it feels to loose a dream. I hope you get there in the end though. Good luck and best wishes.
This 2011 expedition by Sébastien Roubinet, is the first of three attempts, to sail from the US to Svalbard across the pole. This one with Rodolphe André, where they turn back due to battery charging problems; In 2013, with Vincent Berthet, they were picked up not far from the North Pole, blocked by the early arrival of winter, and finally in 2018, with Eric André and Vincent Colliard, they fell too far behind in the first month in the chaotic ice forcing them to advance at a snail's pace, only to turn back at the end of the second month, aware that they would not be able to catch up.
great adventure, i think you should have insulated the battery pack also chosen a larger battery and obviously a couple of back up for your battery maybe a small petrol generator
A drone would have been very helpful for scouting the route ahead. And I would have used sails that were dyed red so they could be easily spotted from a distance.
@CimmonMostakes They were walking away from their boat and the white sail was blending into the background. Even THEY would have spotted their boat easier if the sails had been red.
Disappointment is very understandable, but it’s a big and risky adventure so you don’t know what could have happened if you had proceeded. Good to be both back alive and healthy with your family and friends. Try to build in more safety and rescue features !
Great adventure but the start was strange, you launch the boat into a stream that you didn't know where it was going or if it even went where you want to go. So strange, I've never seen a expedition start off like this
Bravo pour la motivation et le courage de s’embarquer dans une aventure pareille. Avoir un kite est une bonne idée, ça peut être un bon complément aux voiles. Par contre, le modèle que vous avez utilisé est de vieille conception, il existe beaucoup mieux maintenant, et plus costaud surtout. N’hésitez pas à demander conseil pour le choix, pour la prochaine fois!

I find it very very hard to believe that this expedition actually took place over the length of days as portrayed in the video. Could have filmed it in two days, how can we know for sure.
Very interesting. Well done to you both. A lot of planning went into this. Last minutes changes to months of planning not a good idea . Whats is your cat made from epoxy , kevlar/carbon perhaps. You had particularly good drysuits and wet weathrr gear probably ,French manufactured quality. You made Shackleton Proud!
Impressionnant votre projet : 400kg à trimballer. Vous avez eux chaud avec la famille d’ours, puis cette tempête qui arrive. La batterie : des chaufferettes autour. Mais énergie supplémentaire : gaz ou plus de solaire (sur deux points cardinaux). Je dirais pas une éolienne en haut du mât ?. Un mini groupe gaz ? .
Continued: be far more reliable. Moisture build up in enclosed space in elementary stuff. If using feather down sleeping bags you have no warmth as feathers clump together. Good luck for next time.
It is SO SAD that they were not prepared properly after so many other intense calculations. A simple 1.6kg Wind generator-Charger would have SAVED the whole mission. And these cost about €100 for a unit that charges 300watts in a 20knot wind. Even a few extra battery packs AND a hand crank generator. You only need to check your GPS every 3-4 hours and make 1 - 1 minute call per day. I would love to have that vessel and set it up better and do Antarctica 🇦🇶 in her. Where is the vessel now ?
Blaireau peut-être mais pragmatique renoncer pour un problème évitable c'est bête, mais cela n'enlève rien à leur détermination et leur courage. @@avisseclaude6823
@@avisseclaude6823yes they do deserve serious criticism. A €100. Wind Generator which weighs 1.35kg charges 300watts. or several small rechargeable Lithiums and a hank cranking generator. Even the Iso-Butane to fuel a 15cc Hobby airplane engine with thick rubber bands to a tiny electric motor the size of a golf ball would create enough power to run EVERYTHING.

Avoir 2 batteries n'aurait rien changé, elles seraient toutes les 2 mortes de la même manière. Les batteries plomb sont terriblement fragiles. A refaire, utiliser des batteries lithium, ça change tout, et c'est bien plus robuste. Quoiqu'en réalité, les batteries sodium sont encore plus robustes
Damn good try boys. I love it when regular dudes go for it. I’d rather see your budget attempt than some millionaire complete it on a fancy rig with hired help.
Large amounts of cloud, and fog, over the Polar ocean and ice. This coupled with extremely frequent direction changes, to navigate through the ice and the ice itself also drifting, makes the use of a Sextant, practically very difficult.

Always better to and fail, then never try at all! Great job guys.
Incredible: the idea, the boat, the adventure - and most of all: the happy and relaxed attitude how you execute it. You have my highest respect!
C’est incroyable ce que vous avez fait !! Total respect , la
Prochaine sera la bonne ! Bravo
Nice job. It wouldn’t be a real adventure if successful was guaranteed
Well done fellas, you had a good, bloody tuff work, I'm glad that catamaran got you home safe, much love and respect from Australia 🇦🇺

merci pour votre leçon de courage...et votre humour.
LE PIRE CE N'EST PAS L'ÉCHEC, C'EST DE NE PAS ESSAYER ❤

The original expedition was made in 2011. Sadly, no feasible consumer drones, were around at that time.

Cool journey ,good example of why knowing your systems inside and out is critical
Une superbe aventure...je vous retrouve à la prochaine
What an insane adventure!! Love every minute.
Je dis BRAVO! et surtout d'avoir su renoncer quand il était encore temps.
Einfach nur: Hut ab!

Bravo quand même mais à la prochaine 👏👏👍👍😉😉
Love it! True explorers. Respect!
spectaculaire, félicitations

They are too far away from everything for there to be any potential spotters
@CimmonMostakes
They were walking away from their boat and the white sail was blending into the background. Even THEY would have spotted their boat easier if the sails had been red.
I was thinking the same - but this was happening 14 years ago, drones were not what they are nowadays...

Battery charging 😮 wind genny, as used on Yachts,, and of course a simple hand cranked genny 😅

Three backups for everything.
Amazing 😊
Superbe adventure

Some of their failures seem obvious.
Seul le ion est légèrement plus efficace que les lipo4. Il faut légèrement les réchauffer à 0-5 degrés.
Wunderbar )))
mission impossible 👍💪
Great effort, the only failure was the battery.
Μπραβο σας παιδια.
Υπεροχη προσπαθεια
Still a hell of an adventure!
I find it very very hard to believe that this expedition actually took place over the length of days as portrayed in the video.
Could have filmed it in two days, how can we know for sure.
You can tell from the opening scene that it won't work.
And what about ventilation for the boat?
A brave attempt.
Why no drone? And more lithium batteries?
Why are they not wearing fingerless gloves in those temperatures when working?
Why didn't you have a wind turbine....???
11:35 use the pepperspray on the food for flavor! Love this guy! He's gotta be part Korean!! :)
Brave mens!!
Good effort team! Sealed AGM lead acid battery would befar more
Totally crazy ….
that takes some balls of steel my friends
So little planning
Absolutely 😢
They need a recon drone.
valiant effort
nice one, small boats would have better chance of doing such a crossing I guess. Sailing canoes perhaps??
Superbe et gonflé les gens , je vous jalouse ...
Pour tous ceux qui mentionnent les drones et batteries au lithium: cette expédiation a eu lieu en 2010, pas dispo à ce moment...
Keep the batteries warm, inside your sleeping bags 😂

Mais qi vous a filmed, est c une montage???
Seems pretty easy to plan a launch into the ocean, sorry otherwise great adventure!
madness, for what ???
Moi je serais déja mort le premier jour. Par contre dans mon fauteuil 21 degré en plein hiver Parisien c'est supportable
Vous avez embarqué 200 kg de matos la prochaine fois vous prendrez 2 batteries , courage et bravo tout de même.

A bad idea from the start.
