POLAR BEAR protection and how it works, in the World's Northernmost Town | Svalbard

I have to bring a firearm with me every time I walk my dog, due to the polar bear danger here on Svalbard. What does Polar Bear protection entail? What are the rules and regulations around it? I hope you enjoy this video, thank you for watching! 🧡
The purpose of this video is to be educational regarding the laws and regulations around polar bear protection on Svalbard. Both Christoffer and I have a license to carry polar bear protection issued by the government on Svalbard. All the information regarding the laws and regulations mentioned in this video, come from the government's website, and all the shooting practice is done at the official shooting range with the proper equipment and knowledge.
