    I would encourage you to look into induction cooking as you won't need a gas bottle and will not suffer excess heat and moisture when you cook food also it is quicker than even a gas ring. What you would need is a decent battery (say 1000wh), inverter (say 2kw) and solar PV to top the battery up after cooking. A cup of coffee for 2 might draw 100wh, a pan-cooked meal maybe 125- 350wh. A small microwave would be similarly efficient but limits cooking options.

    Jump to bed. Sound like a solid plan. 😂😂😂😂 Wow! Stunning view with her standing at the edge of the cliff. Perfect wine with the food to reboot your energy. Aww...he kisses Zulu. Jump in the 10-degree water! LOL update on Simon’s coffee picks! 😂 She is so nice and patient. Was his picked coffee good? I have noticed something different in this video that you guys talk alternatively. That was nice.

    • @SimonBraeck
      @SimonBraeck  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The coffee was delicious, too bad we can’t get frequent deliveries from them! If this scenery was blessed with a more comfortable temperature’s it would be paradise😄 And that mountain cliff was something else😳👏🏼

    I need to get to Norway. Not many places can compare to my Alberta, but it's pretty darn close! Simon & Benedicte, you could easily package your travels as an official tourism video. Breathtaking.

    So I would totally take a dip in the water. I did briefly in November 2019 and at the Blue Ice Lake in 2018. I'd want to be there where it's isolated, though I'd need to live near a small city/town....

    Hi Benedikte and Simon ! Another epic video...great. I would like to understand: Did you take the ferry with your van, is it possible to stay with a camper on Rodoya ? Or did you need to stay in Klokkergarden hotel ? Maybe i did not get that...it could be a point on my list. Go on with your videos like that, it is always a pleasure. Greetings from Germany, Michael
