What WOULD HAPPEN if all the food deliveries to Svalbard stopped? | Fishing for food

What would happen if all the food shipments to Svalbard, just stopped? Could we live off the land on an island where nothing grows? I hope you enjoy this video, and thank you for being here! 🧡☕️

I’m from Alaska, USA and living off the land is a huge part of our life. We hung, fish and forage for berries and mushrooms. Our freezer is full of salmon and caribou, even a little moose we got from a friend. Beekeeping for honey and gardening are also popular but just not my thing. We use every part of the animal and treat it very respectfully when we harvest it.

Is a very responsible fishing, smaller fishes are released, the quantity is only what is necessary to pass the winter and has a positive impact on the environment as you rely less from food coming mainland.

I have been binge watching all of your videos Cecilia (found your channel recently) and it has been amazing. Your lifestyle is such a diffrent from mine (I commute for three hours every day) and rignt now I stare at a big boring skyscraper while eating my tasteless take away lunch in a tiny, way to expensive, apartment. Thanks for letting me, and your other viewers, have a glimpse of the GOOD life. The scenery is amazing at Svalbard (especially the view from your living room) and I have become a big fan of Grim who must be strong contender for the 'happiest dog alive' award.

I believe we would all love to see more of Christopher, boating, fishing and his cooking skills. Does Grim get to enjoy the fish?

Watching Cecilia’s videos always make me want to move to Svalbard. I keep having to remind myself that 1) I’m not outdoorsy, 2) I don’t like being cold, and 3) I get hardcore SAD. Now I can add reason 4 why not everyone should live on Svalbard: I’m allergic to fish.

I absolutely love watching your videos. You and Christoffer truly are blessed with living away from this rat race we are stuck in in America. Thank you for your efforts to teach us your culture on Svalbard and the beauty you portray in your videography.

What an adventure today! I’m a vegan, but can appreciate sourcing your own food locally. And Christoffer does a wonderful job cooking. Extra kudos for the shot you got near the end of the boat trip of the mountain reflected in Christoffer’s image!

I love the whales; I once went on a trip off the Coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and we saw hundreds of whales, as far as you could see all directions, I burst into tears when one jumped up right beside our boat, close enough to reach out and touch it felt, so moved by the experience. Christoffer is one of those natural chefs, so relaxing to watch him. Have a beautiful week in Svalbard!

[LindaKayHolevas]

Oh my gosh, the drone shots of the whales & the water were so beautiful! You live in such a gorgeous area, thank you for sharing your life with us❤️

[jessikr]

I've to say, watching your videos is pure relaxation for me 😍 I stop everything that I'm doing and just watch.. I LOVE your videos! ❤️

[markuserikssen]

Such an interesting video again, Cecilia! I was wondering if the island could produce more food if they had their own greenhouses? In Iceland they also have plenty of them.

[emparker]

I love watching your videos while I take a break for coffee but have never commented before. This was such an outstanding video. I love how simple your life is, and how you both enjoy every moment of what the place you call home brings you.

I love eating fresh fish! I grew up near the ocean in many different places so fishing was part of life. Christoffer’s cooking makes me so hungry! Looks delicious. And as always your photography skills make everything look even more enticing, Cecelia!

[mauriciobeligolioliveira]

That food looks so delish, OMG! Christopher seems to be an amazing cook. I love your videos, you guys are meant for each other. Thanks for sharing. A big hug from Brazil!

[liveyourbestlife]

Chritopher, Grim and Cecilia are such a great team.

[katesterly]

Thank you so much for taking us fishing with you. I love to see the different types of fish that people can catch in the different parts of the world. And let's hope it never comes to not being able to get food shipped in. Be well, stay safe, catch lots of fish, love from Texas.

Christoffer. Although he remains quiet at times. When he does speak, I listen.
This was a MOST ENJOYABLE video today. Thank you.

[dianedixon]

So enjoyed this video of your fishing expedition. I have to admit, I live vicariously through your videos, because I don’t like being cold, island living is a bit claustrophobic for me, so I get to enjoy these adventures through the two of you. I am amazed at how you and Christopher complement each other’s personalities. Love Mr. Grim too.
