    I'm so pleased for Christopher, the man moved to Svalbard, worked his butt off, met an amazing woman who shares his passion for the life they're building and now gets to fulfill a longheld dream of owning an offgrid cabin. Life is good for him right now.

    AWWW. It isn't that Christoffer isn't usually happy. He's a lot like my best friend's husband, who keeps things close to his chest. But to see Christoffer get to see a dream fulfilled and just look like a kid who got ALL the presents they wanted for Christmas is seriously a level of joy I didn't realize I needed this morning. ❤

    Two people and their dog who live about as remotely as most of us can begin to imagine, buy a cabin even more remote! Very exciting. It's so good that the previous owners left everything so that you can spend time there immediately. It's a very cute cabin and very cozy. Without electricity though, how will you light it, especially in the Polar Night? You need enough light to not have your bodies hibernate and to be able to read or play games. Candles look lovely but are no good for reading.
    Congratulations to you both for realising Christopher's dream.

    So here’s an idea with cooking with Christopher! Do a video/recipe in your current house. And then compare that to a recipe in the cabin. So the same recipe, but just in different locations with different resources. How do you adapt fancy chef type recipes to off grid Living? I think that would be an interesting actually really interesting series.

    I would strongly recommend bringing an ozone generator out there at some point (with a power source). That will do wonders for removing any smoke smell that remains even after you change linens. Set it up and let it run while you aren't there and make sure you let the ozone dissipate before you go back in.

    Congratulations on your beautiful cabin, Christopher, Cecilia snd Grim!❤️
    The furniture there is just beautiful and love the couches. If you want to, you can put furniture covers or blankets on the couches, but they are actually beautiful and in great shape...just use some water snd a towel and wash them down a bit to freshen them up, but otherwise the cabin is perfect as is. How are you going to get that old mattress out? They are so heavy...it will not be easy at all! Lean it up on one of the other outbuilding walls for when you insulate it and make it into another little cabin for friends to stay in. IKEA furniture has no soul. It is pressed wood fibers and dont like the changes in temperature very well. The furniture there is real and well made. I can see wanting a daybed in the crooked room but otherwise the place is beautiful as is.🌟🌟☀️❤️

    the scariest thing about polar bears is they eat slow and their priority isn't killing you because the longer you are alive the longer you are warm and easier to eat. maybe its just a folks tale but someone told me once and it made sense and is pretty damn scary

      The same with a lot of bears, they just hold you down and tear bites off.

And spending the first night in a new place is just the best, isn't it? How wonderful that the previous owners left all of their stuff behind that you could use since it takes a while to get everything to that cabin. Bless the two of you and thank you for bringing a piece of your life to me whose life is slower now that I'm older and you have no idea how much joy you bring to so many of us by just living this life and sharing it with us so thank you so very much!

    It's amazing that for a place so remote there are people scattered all around living in isolation from the outside world. On Google maps it does show there are other cabins in the area and an abandoned Russian mining town called Colesbukta. It still seems risky to be so cut off from help should you need it. I suspect you may have a radio link to Longyearbyen. If you don't, you should. Beautiful place.

    Christoffer reminds me of my late father: a hands on, Mr. "I'll do it myself." If my father couldn't build or fix it, you were hard pressed to find someone else who could. Years after he died ( on Father's Day, 2 months from my 14th birthday), people spoke of how they missed calling him up. Best of luck, you two.
