When did you start kayaking? - When I was 8 years old.
What do your tattoos mean? My star was just because I thought it looked good. My skull was my reward for winning the marathon world championships in 2010, my triangle on my hand reminds me to keep moving forward and make progress, and my turtle/Pura Vida tattoo on my leg is a reminder of my amazing time in Costa Rica. New tattoos - mountains on my arm & VV on my wrist because I didn't know what I wanted until 5 mins before I got them!

Why do yo buy so many cameras? I'm a photographer & film maker, cameras / lenses are my thing.
Why aren't you training for kayaking anymore? - I see new opportunities everyday, I'm just grabbing them as they appear and keep working hard, right now that's UA-cam & Film. I'm happy I made the change!
How long do your vlogs take to edit? - They vary massively, sometimes 1 hour sometimes 6+
Still got questions? Watch my last Q&A video! - • SNAPCHAT Q&A WITH SP!

P.s. I love my subscribers :) xx
I couldn't be more impressed with how this series has turned out.
Amazingly well captured, Ben. Your work inspires me.
instaBlaster...
Tom Scott trying to say hi to the vlog XD hahahahaha
11:30 for anyone curious.
I still can’t believe these videos were made 5 years ago. Madness ! I am still loving them now in 2021 but I do miss this Ben Brown.
Cut to a dark room where Ben is frantically editing one vlog after another, he hasn't slept in two days, sweat runs down his forehead and his pupils are dilated.
haha that's the normal situation, fortunately I'm stay almost completely on top of the edits whilst I was away, not being online helped that A LOT!
Aha, nice work man. Really looking forward to these vlogs.
was it hard being disconnected for that long? were there pros/cons? has it effected your "reconnection" with tech/the world?
hi
I read this in your voice.
are you seriously just low key hanging with chris hadfield!? That guy is an absolute legend
and Tom Scott slept in the same cabin with him
To quote Matt Gray: “lucky bastard”
I can't stop coming back to this series. There's just something about it - the scenery, the friendships, the editing style, the chill (literally) vibes. Ben, THANKYOU for uploading this when you did - at the time, it got me through a rough patch in year 12, and now, getting close to 3 years later, it's getting me through a rough patch in uni. I will always come back here. The nostaligia, the longing - it feels like home.
So true❤️
Big time🥲
Six years later I still come back here at least once a year. These series sparked my love for the arctic and the goal to one day go on such expedition. Also got to know about all those amazing people - captain Hadfield who got me into space and ISS stuff, Tom Scott and his awesome content, also Tim with his beautiful creations. Thank you Benjamin Brown for introducing and opening this whole new world for me and creating this gem! 🙏🏻❤️
"Are you recording our technology?" haha oops.
Greenland looks amazing so far!! 👌
lol
hahaha. Ben should have replie: "I'm using our technology to record your antiquity!" lol just joking!
Lol
haha... I was waiting to hear Ben's response to that question :)
Ben.... you need to DISABLE that RED flashing light when you are recording!!!
"are you recording our technology sir?" lol
😳😂😂
If their technology isn't to be recorded then don't put it where people are. God this IS an age of paranoia... Or just power tripping. Would have been interesting to have seen more of that exchange tho. Did Ben just lie? It seems they ended up on the plane and not in jail under any circumstances.
@@johndoe9450 its literally the inside of a scanner, isnt it? it kinda HAS to be where people are. and they dont want you recording inside of it for terrorism purporses.
oh yay Tom Scott is on same boat :D That is something I did not know
Your face is priceless, your eyes just trying to learn and recognize anything in that new environment. simply beautiful.
Nice to have you back Ben
Tim just seems like the nicest most chill guy in the world, but also HOW IS HE SO BEAUTIFUL?!?
Watching this gave me all kinds of feels. I love Greenland and icy waters and sailing and the serenity of this isolated part of the world! And at one point there was even one of "my" ships in the shot (the big red one). Very excited to watch the rest of this!!
I'm seriously excited for this series! Tim would be the perfect travel partner for this mission!
Also screw Canada Goose, horrible company
+Kayla Slattery what's wrong with Canada goose? I don't own anything by them...just curious.
+Ugly People they use coyote fur for their coats
Yoh! But the FOMO is real. I can't stop watching it though....looks incredible.
I love that you commented on Ben's vlog :) PS my wife & I enjoyed your vlog takeover, awesome hike!
fomo?
Ben, when you ganna put a ring on this girls finger!
+RonTheSon Fear Of Missing Out
Fly Wan thanks panda
I'm a Canadian from Ottawa who was so happy to recognize my city in this vlog opening, as well as the amazing Commander Hadfield! A new subscriber eager to continue enjoying this time in the Arctic. Great work! :)
Anyone else glad that Ben spent his Arctic trip with Tim. Tim stuff is also amazing.
These arctic videos are going to be on another level. That timelapse from the bridge...oh my, one of my favourites you've done.
Who came hear through Tom Scott
I like how he also pops up at random time(s) in the videos
He tried to say hi but was ignored.
I did
Only reason I'm here. Can't take the constant flipping the camera around to see his face though, or the music.
I hate how he's literally being ignored
Apparently, there was no need to fear for a lack of chocolate. According to Tom, one appeared on the pillow by the time they got back from dinner, and there was a frickin' _pastry chef_ on board!
Quite frankly think it's out of order how Ben Brown isn't at one million subs yet. People are sleeping!!
Probably by next year he will. Or depending on how well they'll go those Artic videos, even sooner!
I found Ben thru Louis Cole when he had about 2,000 subs, and that was back in the Kayaking days ! His content continuously improved in technical quality and subject matter, but I have never quite understood why his growth has been so slow. His subs are a dedicated bunch, like once they discover this channel they remain forever, but growth has been a lot slower than I think he deserves.
I definitely think he's one of the most under rated youtubers...when you look at other vloggers they're aren't at his level but more successful
I think that's often the case though! A lot of people (us included, if I do say so myself 😉) don't get the recognition they deserve. But growth takes time I guess!
So down to earth and real unlike a lot of other you tubers! He certainly deserves more :)
Holy shit bro! This looks like it's going to be dope! Bottle of wine and a Ben Brown binge coming up...
This massive boat must be some experience, can't wait to see tomorrow's vlog
....casually pans over to COMMANDER HADFIELD. I was not prepared. I'm really looking forward to the rest of these vlogs.
Ben! These shots are sick dude! I just did a trip quite like this on a Cargo Ship across the Atlantic. Can totally understand the whole no internet deal!
dude this is so sick, i can't tell you how pumped i am for these vlogs. obviously it's you experiencing the journey first hand but can i just say thank you for taking us along with you and filming this amazing content. i've never watched any other youtuber vlog in the arctic and i'm glad i'm viewing it from your perspective especially. can't wait for the icy vlogs!
I don't watch your vlogs every day, but each time I come back to watch them I notice that you keep pushing yourself in terms of editing. It always seems smoother, more thought put into it. It sure is a pleasure to watch, Ben! I hope you had a great time in the Arctic!
Here was I thinking 'Russian icebreaker...super easy boarding (dead calm water)...looking ok on board...yep, thats how everyone packs a chopper (space is at a premium on a ship) etc' And then I realised you're 'having a little moment' and really hadn't figures out what it means to be on a working ship (boats live in bathtubs) going into Arctic waters. So, enjoy your trip and the learning curve and thanks for taking us along.
"We're you recording with technology sir"...they always get us bloggers doing that! Love doing that shot! Glad to have you back Ben!
I haven't finished the vlog, but I just have to say Ben. The sound quality, and visuals, and everything, is the best I've ever seem or heard. It feels like I'm in a movie at times watching in the dark on my 27" imac. Seriously you've come such a long way, and I hope I can one day produce the same quality work that you do. Simply awesome bro.
I was so excited for these vlogs to begin...and I felt like a kid on Christmas morning marveling at his gifts as you explored the boat and embarked on your mission. So, so delightfully exciting!!
We're only one vlog into the Arctic adventure and I'm already absolutely in love with these. Your content for the next while is going to be absolutely next level!
tim's eyes are such an awesome color!😍 on another note, going to the arctic seems like such an amazing experience - definitely something i'd love to do in the future
Waiting for this was like a step back in time when we used to have to wait a whole week in between ALL episodes of EVERY show on TV . . . The anticipation! . . . genuinely exciting . . . and that amazing shot approaching the bow of the ship from underneath made it instantly worth the wait.
Alan
I love the old school brownie music in these vlogs. It feels so nostalgic.
We've missed you Ben! Welcome back! Looking forward to the next couple of days of the arctic vlogs! Thank you for being an inspiration as always :)
10:49 Ground control to major tom anyone. In fact this whole thing reminds me of the song and even the movie, secret life of water Mitty
Haha, I don’t even care that your comment is 6 years old, haha. I will gladly speak to any Walter Mitty fan from the future to the past. I just watched that movie again and it’s honestly in my top 10 movies. This coming from someone who freaking loves good movies too. Anyway, hello Walter Mitty fan. I loved your comment. Live your best life! :)
i've been in northern Iceland with -31 degrees Celsius and in Nothern Norway in - 28 so with how amazing these vlogs are looking to be I might have to start planning a future Arctic trip!
how about Northern Creative... I mean Creative North. :) it's just a click away! hahaha
I know what you mean, me too! Just been on a boat in Northern Norway this january, I WANNA GO BACK haha the jealousy is so real right now!
Still my favourite video. I think about this all the time and how much I want to do something like this. Thank you for the video.
I'm honestly buzzing for all the arctic vlogs to come! Came at a wrong time with final exams quickly approaching but this > exams!!
Absolutely love that you captured me asking about if you had both seen the pool. Hah!!!! Day 1 was so weirdly confronting and surreal. Loving this! Was so great traveling with you and Tim on this wild adventure.
Not sure how I stumbled on to these videos but I've watched them all and they are amazing. Thank you Ben for taking the time to make them for everyone and inspiring me to want to take this same trip.
Chris Hadfield is such an interesting and accomplished individual!!! He has literally been everywhere and done everything!!!
It would be awesome sharing a room with one of your good mates and doing this awesome adventure! Can't wait for more vids Ben!
wow the editing of the flight was so sick with the voice over and the ding at the end was perfect. good job ben!
So cool you got to go on a 2 week long trip with Commander Hadfield. THAT GUY HAS BEEN OUT OF THIS WORLD. HE'S ONE OF VERY FEW WHO HAVE. WHAT A CRAZY TRIP.
Ben, wanted you to know how insanely good this series was, like honestly I was buzzing every time you uploaded a new vlog from it!! The visual vibes is sick but knowing the stories behind it makes the images proper interesting not just beaut. Ive been meaning to leave this comment for a long time and after you recently opened up about personal stuff something compelled me to do so. Ive been struggling personally with anxiety over what I want to do with my life in terms of work, as I enjoy designing and creating as an engineer but struggling with the idea of producing more things to just fill this world with things it really might not even need really challenges me. Anyway bro, I know I don't know you but keep it going I love your work and the vibe you have when you are exploring and working hard, hope to see you round. Peace! (this is the first comment I've ever left on youtube. sorry if its weird haha)
Ben, I've been a subscriber since your 3rd vlog back in the Kayaking days! After all these years you're pretty much the only person whose videos I always watch!
It's great to have seen you grow over all these years, and I'm so happy for you that you're now getting these great opportunities which you so deserve. All I hope is that you keep it up and continue to grow in the future!
One of your best to date, loved the voice-over of the safety briefing in the plane. Fitted perfectly with the music too! Keep it up. I've been a long time viewer on and off for a few years now, and this is the first time i've commented! Must be a goodun'
I know you have been all over and seen so much. But the look in your face when you boarded the ship was i'd want to say pure joy, but it was more like excitement mixed with nerves.
This is a lovely start to the Arctic vlogs. You looked so excited aww, can't wait to watch the others x
Ben speaking in Russian accent it's the best I heard all day hahaha
Ben's square drill head is the second best thing I saw all day
I was so pleased to hear some Russian)
To be honest I stopped watching for a couple of months. Not sure why! But clicked and I am immediately drawn into the vlog again. Can't wait to see this adventure. Just graduated and my mind is overwhelmed by the possibilities but also there is this daunting feeling creeping up on me of not knowing what to do or how I will accomplish things. Ben works hard and is living a dream. Thanks for the inspiration. I know equipment is not everything, but this quality is insane. Time to save up for some new equipment.
Don't you love the smell of engine oil on a ship? High on my bucket list doing the Antarctic trip from Ushuaia, Chile to Hobart, Tasmania. Here's the difference between a boat and a ship. “According the U.S. Naval Institute, a boat, generally speaking, is small enough to be carried aboard a larger vessel, and a vessel large enough to carry a smaller one is a ship.”
when you start watching it for a second time because you know there isn't any more coming but it was just too good
It's already been more than 2 years since these fenomenal series, eagerly awaiting the next one
Bloody love Tim Kellner
The timelapse from the bridge was incredible. There's beauty in simplicity!
Sick Vlog! I think every Travelvlogger is jealouse as hell right now. Enjoy your Trip and don't forget to film a lot 📷🌨🌊
Jealous'
+Dippy Wow Nice Vlogs....Keep it up🌳
agree the vlog is sick, and this is just the beginning. but that water in the pool at the end can really make anyone sick! lol
Wow what an amazing experience. Can't wait for the rest. Thank you for sharing with us!
Ben, love this vlog, can't wait for the rest of them. I showed this to my husband (who has a pretty scathing opinion of vlogging and UA-cam) but he was glued to the screen and even managed a LOL at the guy "driving" the boat with the rudder between his legs. We've been to Alaska (twice, oops) and flown over Greenland. There's something about all that wilderness that draws us in. Would love to go one day. Hope you get to see a polar bear!
THAT TIMELAPSE AT 14:20 WAS SO SATISFYINGLY GOOD!!!
"Are you recording our technology, sir?"
I died LMAO
Hey Ben glad to see the vlogs are back in full force and the arctic trip looked amazing! You've been a vlogging inspiration to me. Daily is really hard for me to keep up and I just hit a personal milestone! So thanks for all the inspiration and motivation!
"Are you recording our technology, sir?!" HAHAHA, us canadians, so polite... asking potential security threaths like excuse me, are you a security threath, sir?! xDDD
Cycling Alaska-Patagonia! Are you in?
We just hit Seattle and would be nice to catch up with you!
Ben, you're vlogs inspire me soo much. A constant reminder to always live life to the full and explore every corner of this earth. Thanks for being so awesome and making such amazing videos.
Loving the totally subtle reference to Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou!
"Were you recording our technology sir?" Incredible shots, and I have a feeling it's only the beginning.
The time lapse from the bridge (is that the correct term?) of the ship gave me chills of anticipation. I am so excited to see these upcoming vlogs!
I am a Canadian high school teacher who is getting ready to LIVE for these vlogs. So happy!!
Been waiting for this. Possibly the coolest adventure you have been on,can't wait for the rest of the vlogs and so happy it's Tim with you,he's an awesome photographer!!
After watching this, I seriously do not know how Bens Instagram is not full of these amazing shots already.
Just casually hanging out with Chris Hadfield. So amazing! Can't wait to see your other vlogs!!
HOLY CRAP! the next 18 vlogs are going to be incredible! This was awesome! I'm excited for you Ben bro!
I"m so excited for these vlogs! That blue and grey aesthetic, amazing!
Awesome vlog Ben! Well worth the wait...a close second to your Costa Rica vlog..or perhaps even better!!
I sat last night watching artic vlogs, truly amazing. I loved all your documention. Great work.👍📷
When Ben walks into the first cabin and wonders what the heck am I doing here, ha :)Should be a great adventure mate !!!!!
Ben, expecting to see some amazing time lapses of the aurora borealis. Kudos to you mate you've worked hard to get there. enjoy the trip!
Can't wait to see the rest of the Arctic vlogs Ben!!
This will be the best vlog I ever saw! Because it's my dream to explore all the northern countries. Amazing
Looking forward to these vlogs. Very nice shots and edit!
Oh hey lowko, how you doing? Love your casts
😍 absolutely devine. Thanks Ben!
I really hope each vlog is super long. It's just so beautiful through your camera.
i have to rewatch this, the most amazing vlog series i have seen on youtube so far, great work!
I am so pumped to see these arctic vlogs, its one of my biggest dreams to go there someday.
SO GREAT to have Ben uploading vids again! Missed you, bro!
This place gives me chills, it's incredible!
Just like Commander H said, I spent a lot of time away on ships with my dad, and I sleep so well with that background hum.
I took a month away from watching UA-cam everyday and now I'm back IM SO EXCITED THIS
I once went to Greenland for about 2 hours (long story). It almost didn't seem real. I've never saw scenery like it, it was amazing.
I Did Not Want This Vlog to end! It just felt like I was experiencing this with You,i could feel the excitement built!!. Can't wait for More!!And Please Make them Longer..
It's so important with a good intro song, sets the mood for the rest of the video. Love yours
welcome back to the internet man, was cool seeing you in ottawa for the slim time you were here
Awesomeness became a vlog and here I found it! If the remaining Artic vlogs are this good, i will pay for Ben's tickets to Antartica next time!
great to see you back man! one of my favorite vloggers!!
Thanks for taking us along! So amazing. Looks like fun.
I'm really excited for these coming vlogs from the Arctic.
Yesssss Ben - Absolutely buzzing for this. Would love to take you up snowdonia in north wales which is near me! Would make some amazing vlog footage. I plan on vlogging it soon and taking the drone. Let me know if you'd like to talk more about it. I'd love to accompany you there. Great work though bro, buzzing for these Iceland vlogs ✌🏼️!
Artic*
+Nathan Griffiths If Ben doesn't take that invitation, I'll volunteer! 😂 Atlanta to Wales would be awesome
Snowdonia is amazing isn't it! Wales is so beautiful
It sure is! It's something else there. I vlog myself and would love to take ben there. Get the drones up and just create some awesome content!
I just started my maritime officer studies. After few years I will be able to work on a ship like that and see amazing views every day. :) It's gonna be extra amazing for me to watch these vids. :D
I've never been that excited about a vlog! I smell an adventure, can't wait for more!!! Brilliant job Ben, as usually!
