I worked in Nunavut for several years and it is probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. The most friendly people you could meet live in the most remote places.
To me, humans were never ment to work 40 hours a week at the same job for 50 years and then die, life is short and unfair, we should be living our best lives possible period.
@@LanceBeckman you said it "My Time", Nobody ever goes to their deathbed saying "I wished I had worked more", there is a difference between going to work and doing a task for 8-10 hours a day and going biking or fishing or just chillin on a deck.
That's not realistic thinking. Our ancestors actually worked MORE than 40-50 hours a week. Our ancestors worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. So please realize how blessed we are! 🩷🙏🏼✝️
@@Sunshine-is_here_to_stay Yes but they didnt do it for a corporation. they mostly did it for themselves directly. Im not saying not to work im just saying if humans are part of nature I dont think we were ment to march into a job every day same time same place same thing for most of our best years during the best times of day, for decades, when we are no longer at our best we get to retire, just my opinion.
I've been around Muscox in the Arctic circle, specifically Northern Alaska, for several years now. Crazy cool animal. Love seeing someone speak about their experience up there!
I was born and raised in the north US, I now live south….. I HATE sweating all day for work lol but I have learned new clothing options for sure! I was raised and worked in cold weather, people know up north it’s time to get out and build a structure or something? Down South , they will work concrete workers from dawn to dusk. It’s damn near 90% humidity and 105° on a normal day. People in the south are a different “hard” and angry lol I LOVE! Spring days that are 30°-40° , I miss allllll the clothes! Down here there is only one b-day suit!
I’m a roofer from the northeast. We have hot summers and cold winters. I’ll take working in 0 degrees rather then 95 degrees and humid every day of the week!
Remi "I hunted musk ox on the frozen tundra" Joe "Did you feel the benefits of cold shock proteins and dopamine?" Remi "What? No. I just meant..." Joe "Jamie, pull up cold plunge health benefits for Remi please."
I had to stop it at like 3 mins in. Not a very articulate representation of Nunavut or even northern Canada, including the Northwest Territories. Finding the musx ox is probably the hardest part about hunting them, as they dont even run away. They'll huddle around the young as a group like triceratops if they even notice danger is close. Theyre a remnant from beyond the last ice age. Dunno what the regs are for Nunavut in particular, but in the NWT you arent allowed to be within 1.5km with mechanical transport while hunting them. Tasty critters, similar to bison but way more tender
A lot of people in rural AK love visiting Hawaii. It’s probably the most visited state for rural Alaskans. Also fun fact there’s an oddly large Samoan population in northern alaska. Also also, muktuk isn’t dried like jerky, it’s just frozen raw then thawed when we wanna eat
😂 “no one goes there except for…” Baloney. I was just working up there, and there’s people who live in native villages, as well as lots of people from the lower 48 states, the Philippines, Thailand, and Samoa. Planes come in with groceries ALL the time in bigger villages. There are SOME people who don’t leave the villages, but many of them vacation in Las Vegas and Hawaii. Maktak hasn’t been cured, just frozen lol. What was pictured, and what is mostly caught is from the bowhead whale in spring. Beluga and narwhal in the summer. They render seal oil and beluga oil which is good when you dip the frozen raw caribou in it. He either didn’t pay much attention, or didn’t ask very many questions to learn the culture.
@@aaroni5074 Lots of oil and gas money is pumped into the communities. There are people who mainly do subsistence that don’t really worry about full time employment, then there’s others who struggle with the substance abuse epidemic who only draw their dividend checks. Lots of work opportunities in the Arctic. Food is twice as expensive, but you don’t have a lot of peripheral distractions to waste your money, so you can save a lot of money. Educators can work there since there’s such a shortage, if you can withstand some of the shady school administrators (many of whom I hope have moved out this year). Then, there’s also opportunities to work directly in the oil and gas industry there as a laborer or scientist. Or…just move there and live the subsistence life and potentially get culturally adopted into a native family (only one village really does that anymore, I was told).
7:25 The idea that all the people in Nunavut have no diseases and are healthier is ridiculous. These northern Canadian communities have rampant alcoholism and diabetes. Life expectancy for natives up north is a solid decade less than the rest of the population.
People DO go on vacation in the arctic circle, i spent christmas in Tromsø, Norway last year, and it was amazing! You can taste salted whale meat, reindeer... etc, it was really great!
Wind chill is no joke, I live near the coast close to being some of the most southerly points of the Australian mainland, in Victoria, that isn't protected by Tasmania. It doesn't even snow here, but in the depths of winter, a 4°c day feels like 0 with a light breeze off the southern ocean. My friend from the states, in Arizona, laughed when one day i said it was really cold at about 6°c , i couldn't explain how it was a different cold than there, even though I think it could get around -15°f where she was, but i got my chance to laugh back when she came to visit, and was struggling with the cold at 8-10°c, and when a storm or big winds, coming from the Antarctic, across the Southern Ocean through the roaring 40s..... Fark me drunk it's cold!
The animals that live up there are specially evolved to handle the cold. They have been there for millenia as have the native populations that hunt them.
We eat whale skin blubber, the texture is rubbery and it tastes like hazelnuts. What he ate must've been the actual meat under the blubber. Whale Narwhal is nutritious with Vitamin A and C. It is best eaten frozen with soya sauce!
Beluga whale is pretty good when boiled in small bite size cubes. To me it has a very neutral flavor, but it does something amazing. The moment the oils of the fat start down your throat you will immediately feel warm through your body. The closest thing I compare that sensation to is a shot of brandy..... But warmer still. I wouldn't look for it in a grocery store, but if you live where it is 50 below and the ocean freezes, I could see the body absolutely craving it.
They genuinely do not care. Fairhope, Alabama, is trying to allow a developer to put homes on a 70-acre plot of literal swamp and wetlands next to a river that floods dramatically during hurricanes. Those 70 acres help slow the flooding. Not only would the people who move into the newly developed homes die from drowning, but so would the people who have lived there for decades and want to keep the wetlands-which is also a historical site-safe. Our city is literally going to agree to kill people and say they have no liability for anyone who dies or is injured by the development.
saying only that scientist go above the artic circle is bs, alot of people live above the artic circle, they should pull up a map, half of Norway is above the artic circle, i live there its normal like any western society. not all of Artic is like how Inuits lives, some parts are warm others extremely desolate
Isn’t it kind of a dick move to go hunt an animal that is already struggling to survive because it lives in the Arctic lol? Would rather go hunt a deer in the woods or something
Theres no difference, every animal up there has evolved to be there. Just because they have rough weather doesnt determine a "hunting ranking" based on your personal beliefs.
You should be doin something imagine all the violence and we still working 60 hrs weeks imagine nobody having to do shit with they time but cause more havoc 🤔
Buddy doesn't know what happens with the Mercator projection.. I kinda want to go on the show now and correct a bunch of stuff about the people, the land and the creatures of the North.
0:40 geeze bud don’t pump your tires to hard, there are plenty of hardworking Canadians drilling for oil and gas as well as gold and diamonds well into the attic circle, do some research
