    Gracias por las vistas y darme una idea de como sería acampar por tierras heladas. Me encanta la idea de disfrutar alguna vez el silencio. Definitivamente alguna vez lo intentaré; pero yo definitivamente paso de llevar cocacola, solo me produce mas sed 😂, para mi, nada es mejor que el agua pura 😁

    Also, kinda jealous about you able to camp. I remember when my whole family used to take a boat like an hour or two out, and then just hit the land, walk some distance and set up a tent.

    Hey Alex, thanks for treating us to an overnight camp in the wilderness outside your home city. You mentioned planting trees. Can you grow them in Nuuk? I can imagine spruce, fir and aspens growing there, but I don't imagine Nuuk having trees.

      Some people have trees in Nuuk, but in Qooqqut (small cabin place, 50km from Nuuk) has trees like pine trees

    Recommend the MSR Dragon Fly multi-fuel (liquid) stove for winter camping. I have tested mine down to -22 C. Although it does shatter the quiet solitude with a roar similar to a jet engine it would also scare the polar bears away and keep your freeze dried meal safe.

    • @AlexAmasaOlsen
      @AlexAmasaOlsen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have considered that burner, it just seems a little crazy and big flames could spew out (probably why its called Dragon😉).
      But the propane burner really sucks in cold😏

    I have never tried winter camping and I think that it would be amazing but a little dangerous especially in a place like that. Are there any bears in Greenland and around Nuuk? Indeed you are really brave to face such a night avventure. We tried summer camping not far from my home at the Moncenisio Lake, but in summer is rather different. Thank you for this beautiful video. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    • @AlexAmasaOlsen
      @AlexAmasaOlsen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Winter camping is only fun, if you are not cold😆
      Polar bears are not seen very often (as in almost never near Nuuk). But bears have been spotted a few hundred kilometres south.
      Merry christmas to you too!
