IT'S HERE! The Sunny Winter season begins, and you know what that means - exploring the wilderness on Svalbard and staying in small, offgrid, old, cabins! We paid 200nok (20usd/euro) per night for this tiny wood cabin in the middle of nowhere. Come along for a few days of complete isolation in this tiny cabin surrounded by only ice and snow. I hope you enjoy this video showing off much of the magic of this island close to the North Pole! Thank you so much for being here, I love y'all! ✨

Just want to say Grimm saved your life. Grimm could smell the polar bear you couldn't see. Good job trusting the dog instead of pushing through. Always trust the dogs reactions.
YEP!!!! 🐶
But she has a rifle & is a dead shot.....
@@Lookup2Wakeup Better to avoid the situation altogether than to have to be in that situation.
@@kasession Absolutely 👌
No need to shoot a polar bear just to want to take a stroll. Always listen to your dog!
When *Cecilia* calls a cabin "remote", you know how remote it is going to be! 😅😅
I am so glad you decided to listen to Grim. Dogs always can sense when something is off. If he doesn’t feel comfortable going there it is for the best. Stay warm and cozy.
I totally agree. ❤
We Canadians can appreciate you standing out in the snow saying it feels like summer! Living in a remote community in northern Manitoba, we would hit the road to visit other remote communities, just to combat cabin fever.
That’s how we roll in the Keweenaw Peninsula in the UP of Michigan. We always go for more remoteness. Standing out in the cold feels amazing. It awakens the soul. 💙🕯️❄️🙌🏻
❤🇨🇦 keeps sanity like wearing shorts with hoodies.
You should do a YT channel from Manitoba! 😊🎉
@@pjk1714 LOL Like Manitobans wearing their sneakers all winter...it really hurts when the soles of your shoes freeze and then you go back inside.
@@TheWoodsyintrovertsI have so many friends that live in and around Keweenaw. They’re glad they didn’t plant anything in their gardens yet as they woke up to snow this morning.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and CECILIA DAY!!! My favorite day of the week!!! Love you to pieces 😂❤👏👏👏
You're the best!
Same with me! I LOVE this channel and little family so very much. 💕
She’s amazing isn’t she!! Love her and Christopher
I look forward to these videos every Sunday morning! 😊
@@maureensmullen6836 YESSSSS and let’s not forget Grimm. He always makes me smile. 💕
I love Christopher's personality, he's such a chill dude.
Agreed ❤
Her saying she sleeps like a baby when a polar bear could rip that cabin apart has me 😂😂😂 Cecilia is a baddie, love from Texas 😘
Woah - did Grim sense danger on the fjord? And he looks so content circling into his dug-out bed next to his two humans tucked up against the cabin. 😍 The stars with Orion at the end - wah!
I was looking in the comments if sombody noticed orion👍👍
That's the first thing I thought of, when Grim did that.
My dog likes snow boots
Your videos got me through some rough times (chemo) and I’m still enjoying them today! (remission) thank you for posting your beautiful life/scenery. ❤
I'm so pleased you took notice of Grim and chose to return back to base. For a wee sec, I imagined Grim arriving back to Christopher without you, it would of given him a moment of concern. Thanx Grim for having all your senses on Alert. Big cuddles.
I'm going to be visiting Svalbard end of August this year after watching your channel since you started producing content. You got me through lockdown and now I can't wait to soon be able to explore this magical place, all thanks to you, Christoffer and Grim
Yes PLEASE PLEASE be careful of those polar bears Ce xx Grimm must have sensed something. Bless him. xx
OMG 😭 I LOVE the Christopher bits when he explains something, his voice is so relaxing and, honestly, I think he’s really funny
I love it! You live in one of the most remote towns in the world and then go 50+ miles in snowmobiles to a tiny cabin to get away from it all. You two are amazing! Opps, I mean you three are amazing - gotta give Grimm his props!
Ahhh that Blue & Pink jumper is sooooooo beautiful!
I was telling my 75 year old dad all about you guys yesterday. Explaining how it is amazing to see such a different way of life than I know. I live in the country in small town Illinois USA. U guys re amazing!!!
😊😊😊😊
I can see that you’re well prepared for the polar bears but can I ask you, have you ever encountered any ? It looks so peaceful and beautiful though ❤
Same!
howdy fellow illinoisian (i aint no small towner tho)
I'm in Illinois too.
I was having a terrible morning. I saw the notification pop up and immediately felt a little calmer and a little peace. Each week it's like a visit from an old friend and girl I was so happy to see you today ❤️ you!
Same response between Cecilia and Christoffer and Jack at living the sky life.
They reset me for another week ❤
@@pjk1714hello 😊 from Poland 🇵🇱 and mindful life by Agnes - channel and countryside
Happy St Patrick's day from Ireland. Thanks for your video.
Happy St. Patrick's Day from the USA! 🍀❤🎉
Yayyyyy! It’s Grim, Cecilia & Christoffer off on another cabin adventure. As always > Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels to you all. Blessings! 🤗❤️
Cecilia: it feels like summer
Also Cecilia: it's 0°C
Like, girllll 😂 Love you! What a gorgeous trip!
OMG the sky is magical ❤ Will never get sick of seeing it. And yay for Christoffer speaking to the camera 👏 😅 I know he doesn't like it. Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
His first real performance. He came across well 👌
As an Australian, your little Aussie accents are absolutely hilarious - please keep them up 😂
Smart you followed Grim.
Their hearing and vibration awareness far exceeds ours.
This time of year it's not rare that people fall through here with repeated days of bright sunshine.
Good you got away, miss your friend with her life drastically changed.
Growing up in Westlake Ohio my parents had a woodstove in the basement. My dad would grab wood in the Metroparks through the year, chop it & we’d stack.
Our basement was over 110. He inserted a fan through the floor and our wood stove heated the whole house in the winter.
One year the gas company came by because they found it odd having $0 bill in Jan.
My mother used to work in Westland when I was a child😊
@@drlisa3 where at in Westlake if u don’t mind me asking.
That beautiful pink sweater was stunning on you out in the beautiful white snow! What a amazing place! So glad you shared it with us! ❤
I can relate to what you said about off-grid time. To me, as an older person, I see it as life before computers and cell phones. I think it helps mental health to consciously return to that on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing what that looks like for you!
I'm in my mid-30s and I remember life before technology took over. These past few months, I've realized how tired I've gotten with technology and I'm cutting back on a lot of tech usage. Already the impact on my mental health is incredible.
I really think Grim is feeling his age and slowing down. He is less about the cold and staying outside and more about resting and staying warm.
I think so too! He is def slowing down a little bit and enjoying comfort more vs adventure 🧡
That’s part of life. You give him a great life. 🧸🐶❤️
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Being 67 years old, I strongly identify with that!! Cozy comfort and good food to eat is what I'm about these days!!
Cabin season is my favorite!! Keep watching for those polar bears and share when you see one. 😊
I believe you are one of the most positive people on this planet! Love your videos!
Thank you so much 🤗
I just finished your next Book! You’ll love it, it’s what I think of as a Adult Fairytale too!! I’ve read all of those & I’m looking for more writer’s that are similar. I’m so glad you share your titles with your “audience”, I like to see what people are reading besides the normal list’s….
Sunday is my favorite day because a new video comes up!! Thank you for always sharing your beautiful world with us!
I love this community 😊❤️
Warm hearted, cozy, while watching about life in the north 😁
That's what we had for supper tonight(though German Skinless Weiners) and country style baked beans, so yummy! Enjoy your meal and the cozy fire! Love reading a book while away! My favorite mystery author is Lilian Jackson Braun(with The Cat Who series). 😊❤
Sometimes here in Michigan, the wind blows off the lake so strong that it literally blows you over. Svalbard simply looks like total freedom, and that's beautiful. Great video!!!
I m very relieved now that I’ve seen your satellite (?) phones!! Obviously I realised you’d not head out into the middle of nowhere without any way of getting help, but phewee! 😊
It’s so wild and beautiful but nature has a force of its very own doesn’t it?
I think Grim knew something/polar bear was out there so you made a good call going back to the cabin.
I’d loved to have had experiences like you and Christoffer have, too late now but I really enjoy ‘coming along with you!’ I also love the cold!! Thanks Cecilia, Christoffer & Grim 😃🍦🍦🍦🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
I love Christopher talking. It makes me so calm inside and he has so much to tell 🙏
Too cute to see Grim digging out her own place as you sit on your snow bench. I love each adventure you take us on and I’m telling anyone who will listen about your channel. The simple life with so many things to experience.
Cecelia, you always shows us how beautiful Svalbard is. You have gorgeous videos.
Grimm Day is the light in my week! (I mean... er... Cecilia Day!)
I would love staying at an off grid cabin like that one! And the price is amazing! So happy for you all that you can do that! 😊❤
Your potato bread looks just like the lefse I grew up making with my Norwegian grandmother. Her parents came from Norway to Minnesota in the late 1800's. We make it around Christmas time as a delicacy. My grandmother and I taught my wife how to make it, and we taught our children and grandchildren how to make it. Thanks much for bringing back some wonderful memories.
Good boy Grim and smart of you to pay attention to him and head back. He probably saved your life🧡polar bear or maybe thin ice. I really enjoy your videos.
Was waiting as usual thank you , with lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Oh how I would love to come to South Africa!!! Sending warm regards to you from Texas 💕 🇺🇸
@@Pristeep_Tejas oh please make time to come and see our beautiful country, it’s hot right now but ok , lots of conservation happening and more , with lots of love
@@user-tl9vk5md1z I am retired now and you’re on my travel list! I can deal with the heat pretty well, we had temps of 112 degrees Fahrenheit here last summer. I truly hope I get to come! Thank you for your response. 💕 EDIT: What is the best month to come?
@@Pristeep_Tejas best month with be April ,may and August to September if you enjoy the heat November and December, look into going to Kruger National Park , Durban east coast , Mother land Cape Town , even Johannesburg (Soweto ) and more . There’s so much to explore here , hikes and more
@@user-tl9vk5md1z oh my goodness! Thank you so very much!! I am going to screen shot this so I’ll have the references you suggested if that’s ok with you. I won’t if you would rather I not.
Christopher has such a beautiful soothing voice
Oh, wow. Haven’t seen that sweater. Love it. Pink and sky blue/turquoise are my favorite color combos. 👍🏻
I feel like I'm with you. The coziness, the wind, the bathroom the coffee. You make me feel like I'm right there. You are an artist of emotions!
Love moka pots. I think I'd grind my beans prior though ... 😂😂
Grim sensed something.
Good morning!! I'm having my first cup of coffee while I'm watching you make yours. I love the candle at the breakfast table. My mother lit candles every morning for the kitchen table, it was how she started her day, it was a normal part of breakfast/coffee time.
We call it "Lefse" in Minnesota, we have a lot of Norwegian heritage here. We eat Lingonberries here, also. Making Lefse requires a special wooden spoon/ spatula and a person with Lefse experience. Good luck!
Lovely as always. I thoroughly enjoy your trecks to these far and away cabins. The landscape never ceases to amaze me!! I'm so glad you do the drone shots!! Thank you Cecilia for another video. Hope you and Christoffer feel rested.
I’d be excited too to see the sun after months of darkness. Glad the two of you have a chance to get away to a calm, remote cabin with Grim. How exciting!
northernmost chaimberlain coffee tumbler xD. I love Brandon Sanderson novels so much! I've just finished re-reading the Mistborn series for the 3rd time, its my favourite!
Your videos make my Sundays brighter 💗.
You are so kind ☀️
I love your channel.....❤❤❤❤❤......I am an American from Philadelphia............with all of the constant chaos that I have to hear.....It is a pleasure to tune into your channel and just watch the beauty of the landscape and your lifestyle.....It is soothing ❤
Go Birds
Thank you Cecilia, Christopher and Grimm for sharing your amazing life with us.🐶💗🥰
Your videos bring me a sense of peace.
I am a field geologist (CA, USA) and we use those phones in the field all the time! I am so looking forward to the rest of Cabin Season :)
You are doing what most people can only dream of, thank you for sharing it with us. It makes sitting and working on photos for a client just that bit easier.
Ooooo I remember this cabin! One of the first videos I watched was you all in this cabin or maybe it was a similar one, but you all had another person with you all. It looks so cozy and quiet!
That was the FASTEST 23 minutes ever! I wish it was an hour! ☺️ Thank you, to you both for sharing your adventures, out at this cabin and just at home or going in to town, with all of us! Warm regards from Texas!! ❤️🇺🇸❤️ (ps - I am so glad that I have finally figured out how to comment on videos! I have been watching you from the very first but did not know how to comment! 🎉 🎉, I’m old, what can I say? 🤷🏼♀️😆)
You did well❤
Awwww thank youuu! And well done 😍😍
@@karinkeijzer1488 Thank you! ☺️
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Thank you Cecilia ☺️
@@Pristeep_Tejasblessings from Poland 🇵🇱 and mindful life by Agnes 😀- channel. And countryside 🐕!
Not strange at all to desire the remote cabin life, everyone needs “me days” and these look like the best.🇨🇦
Idk why but watching your videos makes me feel relaxed. Living in busy and crowded city, your life seems like a heaven to me.
Ohhhhh! I see you're reading "The House In The Cerulean Sea" -----what a fantastic book---my book club really enjoyed it. Hope you do, too! Let us know, eh? Your and Christopher's videos are the best on You Tube! From Maryland in the US. 🙂
Amazing. I would like to see more of that 90km snowmobile traverse of the island.
Your videos make my Sundays brighter 💗
Fresh lawn clippings 🤣I love your sense of humor! 🤣
Nice that your vacations are also your job, Hope you get your footage knocked out quickly so you can actually rest and enjoy your trips, I used to have a video business mainly shooting weddings, doesn’t matter if you have your own business or work for others, there’s always challenges that make you wanna pull your hair out😅been there done that.
Thank You Cecilia From Minnesota/Wisconsin home of my many Swedish and Norwegian kin folk❤
Youve got me saying "oy yoy yoy!" I love your channel.
I love accents and listening to Christopher talk is the best! Thank you for sharing a part of the world I’m sure I’ll never make it to. Indiana US is a far way! ❤
Christoffer!!! You must make Norwegian potato bread for us so we can learn. It looks delish! Your burgers look delicious but don't look like beef...what are they? Also, just a thought Cecilia but maybe Grimm sensed the strong winds coming and wanted you safely back at the cabin before it happened. Animals can almost always detect a change in weather/atmosphere before we can. What do y'all think?
Is the potato bread similar to lefse? My Norwegian grandma used to make lefse with the leftover mashed potatoes. It was so yummy! I haven't had it in many years. Love your channel.
this is so rich with beauty and simple life pleasure. thank you all. At the end I love seeing the aurora and recognizing Orion constellation and Pleaides/ Seven Ssters constellation.
House in the Cerulean Sea is SO good! Great choice!
You are both very brave and adventurous. I could never do what you do but I so love watching you both. Maybe if I was younger I would have less fear. Thanks as always.
I actually love your perspective on life. Thank you for sharing it. ❤
MY KIND OUTDOOR LIFE …. GREAT SCENERY !!!!!!!! Soooooooo RELAXING !!!!!!
I love watching your cabin videos! I’m so glad you listened to Grimm. He sensed something. 😮 The beauty of this place never ceases to amaze me and just watching the windy icy outdoors felt like I was in a movie. So awesome. Thank you for this adventure ❤❤❤!!
Thank you for your wonderful content! It inspired an amazing trio for my wife and I last week. We both want to return to Svalbard again one day as it was breathtaking and beautiful!
Absolutely love these off grid trips! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤❤❤
I enjoyed our little trip, through your lens. Thanks xx
Ooh! Can you ask Christoffer to make the Norwegian potato bread in his next cookbook, please? I'd love to see his recipe!
Grim's like, I just want to be in my snow hole! 😂
Do you have to bring gas for the cooking or is there some already in the cabin?
I love your cabin weekends! It seems like a simple way to live... no intrusions other than the environment around you. 💜💜
Marianna
The propane is in the cabin. But if its empty we take it to town and next person brings a new one😊
Hello 👋🏼 it my Cecilia and Christopher & Grim.Its Sunday chill time.Thankyou for all the great Sundays you have brought me.❤ from 🇬🇧
Love your videos and look forward to every Sunday. Fabulous sweater! Did Christoffer's mother knit that? I know she is a great knitter.
I love this one, Cecilia, reminds me of when you started filming. I love watching you filming yourself in front of the mirror 😅 in such amateurish, Cute way. That's how I found your channel at first!
I love the cozy vibes of this video😊. I live in FL so it’s such a nice contrast to my environment.
I remember when you were there last year. Thank you for taking us with you!!
That was so cozy! I live your videos! Grim is a smart puppy.
Cecilia you would make an avalanche or an earthquake. Look fun. I love your energy and positive attitude. Your channel makes me happy.❤
Vermonter here…same here. When it’s 30 and above with sunshine? We go out to the mailbox in T shirts. Without wind, the sun really makes a huge difference in Springtime. Thanks for sharing, Cecelia. I am loving your shorter videos, as they are still packed w/ content, but timing-wise? It is easier to commit to watching one whilst having brunch. Hi to Christoffer and Grimm.
I just love when a Sunday comes around and Cecilia has posted 🫶🏼
Love watching after my Sunday morning run in the USA. And yeah for Lefse, pain to make but so yummy.
As I'm watching this video, it has decided to snow and I'm loving it! I love your adventures you take us on because I will never be able to do them, so I get to enjoy them through you. Thank you!
Perhaps the reason why Grimm was spooked on your walk was due to the storm - did he sense it coming? Thanks for taking us along.
Love the snowmobiling.
Nostalgic for me. When we came first time in 1998 we camped on the south side of Hornsund for a month near an even smaller cabin. I have photos taken from some 400m away of a very hungry young isbjorn trying to find a way in. I had to tell friends inside by firing a warning shot.
Our communication was by the Norsk Polar Instituut netwok. Came again in March 2003 but travelled with two dog team sleds, camping each night.
Love you and your videos, you inspire me! I decided to learn Swedish about a week ago, having so much fun trying to learn a new language!! Gotta keep my synapses firing, fight the old lady brain!!
I’m glad you trusted Grim. He knew something was wrong.
Enjoyed my Sunday breakfast and cup of coffee watching your wonderful relaxing remote cabin video!❤❤❤
Same here
Weeeeeeeee Cecilia posted! I started having coffee on Sunday afternoon, to match your love for coffee 😂☕💞 luv it
I just finished that book yesterday.. I love to watch your adventures! I think I would love to stay in that treehouse you guys were in. I use the Garmin mini for hiking. Love it.
