This man can keep you alive in Greenland. What a man, his family must be proud. He 's like a machine stopped once for a puff on his pipe away he goes again. The very best to you Sir, Great video.

I am from Alaska. I'm deeply saddened by the technology that distracted so many, but happy to see you thrive the natives way of living. Taikuu.

Kinda stumbled over this documentary and HAD to watch to the end. I was fascinated by this man and his life. Also felt sad and very emotional touched; goose bumps and tears 😢
What this documentary definately showed was how satisfied he is with his life. His smile on his face sitting in HIS self built igloo. My high respect to him.
Thanks to Julius, the Video team and Biggi Hilmars for the music composition. Perfect ❣️

I loved this video and am happy that he gets to live a life he loves!! But I hope and pray that this isn’t the last igloo, the world be a lot dimmer without them!!❤

What an extraordinary sight, looking at the sun through the walls of an igloo. Without a doubt, a beautiful piece of architecture

Nicely done, great video. If you see Julian tell him not to worry about the climate. He grew up in a colder period, but it's been warmer in Greenland in the past and will be colder again in the future. One of natures cycles.

Hi Julius, We use ice jiggers to set nets, two holes are better then several. They crawl under ice and at a set length. We stop and make hole over jigger.
Pull nets in water and set. Nunavik Inuit. Fall are longer and spring earlier too here in Northern Quebec. One Inuit to another. Nice dogs, great video. Sorry about a lost brother. Mysteries happen on the land. Worse on sea. Those are never found. Some mysteries get solved. Hunters that disappeared and found in wrong place who had accident being lost.

What a gorgeous film!! Loved everything about it. I'm so glad that even this small slice of that way of living is preserved in this beautiful, respectful way.

I see it in him. The nature of the true human spirit. Compassion and empathy for the world around him. Most people have lost touch with our surroundings: Nature, humans, meaningful work. That is demolishing in our modern society. I wish this weren’t true.

....he live an extra ordinary life, that even to think & type out, for he lived the past, present & the future, & an extreme cold climate, that only those that have the knowledge & skills to survive, in the areas, they called home.

Am very thankful to watch this valuable documentary.

Peace & blessings to all my fellow humans. 😊

Sitting down here in Florida, US i am struck by the degree of physical adaption of both men, the cameraman and subject, while it drops down to 67°F tonight in my house and i become chilled. Breath takingly beautiful scenes, sounds of the wind and movement across the ice. The dogs are a whole other special adaptation too.
Watching Julius make the igloo helped me to figure out how he got the roof ice to arc over without falling down, something i always wondered about. The kind of snow really matters in this, plus how he carved each side to slide the pieces together. Thank you all who shared this vanishing way of life with us. Greenland is truely in peril of losing its mountains of ice. It's a deferred peril for the rest of us living on coast that we already see down here with high tides and storm surges.

Beautiful video. Such great drone footage of a beautiful landscape. And a great view of a passage tradition.

I WISH I COULD SAY MORE THAN I LOVED THIS LAST IGLOO VID COOLMAN

My accolades to you, Julius, for still pursuing the traditional life style of the Innuits of Greenlanders for millennia from a former Dane (1950-74), thereafter enjoying the wilderness of the interior western Canada as an avid camper and trout fly fisher, occasionally spending a whole weekend on lakes and streams without a single trout catch. Was I disappointed with the no luck catch? Not at all, because I, my wife and two daughters always enjoyed the outdoors (camping, cooking and hiking, etc. - almost every weekend and summer vacation trip). Yet, I noticed from your video the many conveniences that you've adopted, like synthetically insulated clothing (versus traditional seal skin clothing and boots), nylon ropes (versus seal gut or seal/walrus skin made ropes), propane stove (versus seal oil flame cooking), metal shovel and knife (versus bone made tools), etc. That's been the way of new technology ingression into traditional life styles for centuries across the world. So please bear with your kids having adopted yet another recent technology advantage of convenience: the mobile smart phone, PCs and the net. That's today's reality with the younger generation, me calling them "the instant gratification generation" because they do not have to work as hard as my generation had to achieve whatever chores that I had to through hard work and time-consuming efforts.

Beautiful, and so so sad. Thank you for sharing. 🙁
