FAQs - for those of you bright enough to read the description before commenting with the same boring questions ... :)

- 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!

- Did you go to university? - No

- 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 YouTube & Film. I'm happy I made the change!

- How long do your vlogs take to edit? - They vary massively, sometimes 1 hour sometimes 6+

Something just occurred to me. All of these Arctic vlogs are incredible. Ben is saving his best shots for the Arctic visual vibes.

The pilot at 9:34 being like: "you know it bruv, I have the best job in the world" :D that flight sequence was amazing :)

[VivienneGucwa]

12:36 is literally the best. Happy you immortalized that moment!

I've really enjoyed how you've been documenting this journey so far and especially seeing all the personalities of the people on board. The guy with the glasses always look so happy and that brings so much joy just seeing someone so happy. Cheers, Ben.

CAPS ARE NOT ENOUGH. BEST VLOG EVER. ICE BREAKING. AMAZING DRONE FOOTAGE. AND BEST OF ALL, THAT HELICOPTER PILOT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

[soburlvt]

Ben Brown! Because of you, I have been 'on' the most amazing helicopter ride in the arctic.
I am almost in tears because of how it felt to be flying over the ice and water. Thank you for this. Thank you so much.

[Maruzdude]

The mixture of your stunning visuals, inspiring stories of the people you're meeting and your overall enthusiasm for what you're doing makes these by far the best content on youtube at the moment. Congrats Ben, keep it up.
