HOW do we get water to our cabin, that isn't connected to the any water lines? In this video we head in to town to fill up water for my latest project, an ice bath tub, Grim had surgery, and we do some regular chores in Longyearbyen. I hope you enjoy this video and thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you! 🧡☕️

What a great idea to make a 'cold' tub! Now being an oceanographer, the first thing that came to my mind was...the water will freeze! Your best option (in my opinion) to decrease the freezing temperature of the water would be to add salt. Ocean water has a typical salinity of 35 parts per thousand (3.5% salt content) and freezes only at −1.8°C (28.9°F). Your tub will still freeze but it may help. I was also thinking that the seawater also contains lots of other beneficial salts. So pumping your water from the ocean would be another idea since it is too far down to climb up and down. But you might have already found all this information from Mr Google. Any ways....food for thoughts! Have a good week!

@l.b.3148 Жыл бұрын

Extra fire hose, and a water pump on land from the top, so no walrus or polar bear. It might be very expensive however.

@justynalisok5102 Жыл бұрын

haha! I agree! Atmoshperic physicist here! Just wanted to suggest adding salts as well !! Fahrenheit 0 is actually derived from the freezing temperature of a water and salt mixture. You should look up what percentage of salt will lower the freezing temperature. The more salt you add (up to a saturation level), the lower the temperature will be.

How to stop water from freezing. Here in youtube you will find videos farmers have made to stop their large troughs from freezing in the winter. They use motion to stop it from freezing. Sometimes a simple plastic bottle with enough water in it to keep it from blowing away works. The outside wind keeps it moving and bobbing which prevents freezing. It’s really cool!

I feel your budgeting pain! We spend a similar amount here (Sparwood BC Canada) and I have a few tips! 1. Have only one person buying groceries, the one who is least likely to impulse shop and can stick to a list. 2. Make a list! 3. List Needs and Wants. Then remove most Wants. 4. Prepackaged processed foods cost much more usually than diy versions. Snacks are usually very expensive. Make your own! 5. Frozen vegetables are usually much cheaper then fresh and are just as nutritious, often more! Hugs to Grim. It's hard when our furbabies have surgery or illness, so glad his anesthesia reaction had a good outcome, yikes! And super jealous of your ice bath! Well done with that find! Definitely look into the horse trough heater option or heat trace. Good luck!❤❤❤❤❤❤

@videopyc Жыл бұрын

Dear Cecilia, to keep your tub water cold, you need to add styrofoam panels on each side and also bottom and a top... like a hot tub. Each panel should have a minimum thickness of 10 cm (20 cm would be better). Then you need to immerse an electric heating element of 1500 watts inside the water tub. If you keep the water in the tub for a long period, then add a 1/4 of a liter of liquid bleach to prevent bacterial growth or order a small bucket of chlorine tablets that are use to sanitize hot tubs. The styrofoam panels will block sunlight and prevent algae to grow. Adding salt does not prevent algae to grow and the tank to freeze like an ice block. You would need so much salt that you may become Lot’s wife (reference: Bible).

little advice for the grocery budget situation: It looks to me like (almost) all the things you listed as a "want, not a need" are things that will keep for a few weeks, a month. So what I would do is, for the first 3 weeks of each month I would cut them out entirely, and then at the last shopping session of each month, where I can see exactly what's left of my budget, I can just use that amount of money to buy as many snacks and energy drinks as my budget allows. And stock my pantry with these. That way I can make sure I stay within/ spot on my budget and I'll be able to see exactly the amount of snacks and sweets in my pantry, and know how long they need to last me until my next "end of month shopping". And if I constantly finish my snacks after 2 weeks, then I know I've been overspending because of snacks. If, however, I end up with hardly any snack budget at all - ie I have (almost) used up my monthly budget before buing any "wants", then I'll know I've been overspending on ingrdients for my actual meals (the "needs"). So I would have to look into these things, for example compare fresh produce prizes, and ask myself if I really need the brand-name milk or cereal.

I'm always amused when you guys show your grocery shopping. Some things look like what I'd expect at a Norwegian grocery store like the cheese and such. Then on the other hand you have Monster energy drinks and Snickers bars. I actually chuckled a bit when I saw the Old El Paso tortillas. That's awesome you can get stuff like that it is just unexpected to see it on Svalbard.

I’m now going to refer to snickers as a protein bar 😂

Finally getting to see you guys fill the water. I've been curious about this since it was installed.The Polar Bear sweater is so, so cute, what a pretty color. The dusty pink cap is also sweet! Not sure about that ice bath - looking forward to seeing how you make it work.

That's the one thing I love so much about Swedish/Norway is the love of cardamom, I make Pita buns or cardamom buns, the kids called them pita or pida because they would tear the bread and didn't says peices, so that flavor is my childhood ❤❤

I hope this isn't stepping over boundaries to say, but Christopher looks amazing lately! I remember watching your first videos and you both seem healthier and happier now!

I would totally watch a "Cooking With Christoffer" playlist on your channel!

My children had a pool made from an IBC bulk tank, minus the freezing part, plus a rolling frame with wheels. Our neighbors spent $60,000 to $80,000 on an inground pool. We spent $150 on ours. Win-win.

I love watching these videos, it is such an escape. The words "minus 10 degrees" and "very very warm today" would never come out of my mouth in the same sentence. Likewise, "ice" is not an adjective I would ever use before the word "bathing." As I have commented before, I watch in fascination and a little bit of horror. But I sure do respect the alien (to me) beauty of the place and the love you have for it. Thanks for sharing!
