Daily Life in my Cabin | Preparing for Polar Day on a Remote Island in the Arctic ep. 6

It's another day. It's so sunny for the first time in a long time. There are reindeer everywhere. There are foxes everywhere. So that's exciting. We have a couple of reindeer right here. Look at Grim. He's going crazy at all of them because he wants to say hi. It's minus 15 degrees in basic temp with the wind. I think it said it's minus 27 and it's actually a little bit cold today. Not too bad because I've bundled up tons but definitely a little chilly. My hands are feeling it now. So we're going to continue this walk. It's going very slow but it's very nice to get out and get some air. So let's continue. It looks great. Should we go outside and sit in the sun? Do you want to sit in the sun? For today's practice we're just going to take a couple of minutes to get used to this idea. On this video I am partnering up with yours app and I have an amazing discount code to share with you guys.

Finally we get some sun and some just beautiful days. I am still sick with covid. Christopher now has covid but we're doing okay. I am now I'm on week two so now I can actually move around a bit and don't feel like I'm dying. So I've taken a walk today with Grim. Grim is so he's so bored he's like come on guys but it's so nice to be out in the sun. We haven't had very sunny days this last few weeks. It's been madness. We had rain at one point but I was so sick that I couldn't film it because it was when I was the worst during covid so I didn't film any of it and it's it was just shocking because we had like two or three days of solid rain. That was insane but I really just want to make the most of the sun and try to load up on some vitamin d. Oh good boy Grim found his little crocodile. Yes well he took it out before and it's not it's not an outdoor toy so now he's gonna bring it in I think. Oh he's so cute. When we built this extension the one thing I had in mind was that you could actually sit here and be covered and protected from the road because right now there are people filming up there for something I think they're filming the reindeer and before if you sat anywhere out here you were like in plain view and you might think like there's not a lot of people around I'm just weird like that I like corners you know I like to have it really just private and there's actually like a bit of traffic on this road which means a couple of cars every day yeah that's it oh my gosh this is unbelievable can you imagine that the midnight sun is starting in a month less than one month yesterday I was out I went to bed a little later and I realized that the the nights aren't dark now there's a little bit of daylight or a little bit of light in the sky at all times so I'll have to show you that as well it's just shocking how quickly these seasons go from one to the next another shocking thing is that I think that this year I might start to prefer the midnight sun season to the polar night and I don't know why that is it feels so strange it might be just because I had a rough polar night and we now have a boat which makes the summer incredible but I'm not sure but I just have this love for the sun season suddenly so that might change this year I'm gonna see what I prefer well I don't I also don't have to prefer the one over the other I think to do polar night the best way is to just take a little break in between don't do four nights or four months of complete darkness in a row just like leave the island for a little bit so I think that that's what I've done every other year wow today is just unreal it's so quiet oh the room is so cute with this little I'm gonna drink my coffee I'm gonna eat my protein bar and life feels really good even though I am a little sick but I'm starting to starting to feel a lot better and I'm like just very happy let's enjoy let's get some vitamin d probably gonna burn how come the stars come to shine when it's dark from so far away show us where we are what makes the sun go to sleep every night and what's it dreaming on I wonder oh come the sky sometimes hides behind the clouds maybe it's just like me a little bit scared of heights why does the rain always keep on pouring down when it's gray outside it really makes me yeah it makes me wonder it really makes me wonder the time has already come to put up these again it's so light in the evenings no dark evenings anymore and that means it's time for these again they are pretty good blocking out the sunlight the thing is I love the brown color so now we're going to go back to a little bit more beige but you know what that's also kind of nice then we know that when it's time for Christmas and dark season these come out again so it's seasonal oh why am I out of breath now I just have to go and get the little stool maybe I can stand with that one could it be to make the ground shine like cold until winter comes until winter comes until winter comes it really makes me wonder yeah it makes me wonder it makes me wonder oh my gosh look at this it's official it is now not dark season anymore it is towards the polar day since it is towards the polar day we're also going to change this one let's go print something else to have here I think we're going to print in the bigger one and I think maybe glacier let's go check it out I have an idea okay so I'm thinking maybe this one Christopher come here and check once I actually need your help so maybe this for the bedroom what do you think so our options are either this one glacier or this works with the colors no no we don't want that one okay you want this one all right let's print I think that could be really nice for the bedroom look at outside it's crazy look it's so pretty look outside wow wow wow I've had a big work day today it's Sunday tomorrow is Monday and I'm feeling for the first time in a long time very motivated about Monday so I am going to go to bed now it's 10 get up early in the morning go to the gym for the first time in one and a half months I'm gonna not do a very like hard workout I'm just gonna do some muscle workout and just you know start because I mean I have to start sometime I think it's gonna take quite a while after having Covid actually getting back to normal and like getting back to where I was athletically athletically I don't think that's a word but I will do my best but first of all sleep get up in a good time it's a good start wow let's look at the view I mean look at this this is absolutely incredible have you seen anything like this wow good night
