(intense, anxious music)
(helicopter blades whir)
(winds howl)
(snowmobiles rev)
(determined electronic rock music)
(curtains open)
- Yes.
(lock clicks)
Oh.
Now this is a view.
What?
Guys, I'm in the Polar Circle right now.
This is as far north as I've ever been in my entire life.
I'm also freezing at this very moment in time.
But (gasps)
look at this.
Look at this place.
Wow, that's cold.
So excited.
(window closes) (locks)
(door opens)
- [Peter] Tell me you've seen outside.
- Let's go, let's do this already.
- I'll be right back.
I'll be five, I'll be two, I'll be like five,
I'll be right back.
(ethereal music)
(groans)
Ah.
Oh, hell yes.
Look at these trees.
Ah.
Oh, spotted, look at this.
Alright, now we're in business.
That is what I'm talkin' about.
There's no snow back home,
so I had to come to the Polar Circle to ride a sled.
I'll take it.
To be honest with you,
I have no idea what the plan is today.
I'm just here to have a great time,
do cool things, get good footage,
take dope shots,
and hopefully provide you guys with an entertaining vlog,
which so far,
this is just my element.
Super excited.
- We knew where you were.
You were by the snowmobile, right?
- [Peter] 100% I was.
- I knew it.
(laughs)
- [Peter] Have you never scraped ice off a car?
- This is like, the fourth time I've ever seen ice.
(Peter laughs)
That's a lie, maybe the fifth.
- [Peter] There's no technique, just get rid of it.
- Just get right in there?
- Get after it.
(scrapes)
That's amazing.
Great job, Nicole. - Thank you.
- [Peter] Doing a great job.
- Keep going, see you guys later.
- [Peter] See you later.
(upbeat electronic music)
Polar Circle, this is furthest north.
It's like 68 degrees north, or something like that.
Sounds like a steakhouse but no, it's the coordinates.
But here's the coolest part, right?
Listen to this.
(silence)
I know.
(drums)
Pumped.
- Well, good morning.
(laughs)
- Yes, it's so good.
Your jacket looks like a brown bear.
(laughs)
So good.
If you had to ask me my favorite place to vlog,
like, where would you rather go
if you could make a video, a vlog, what would you do?
Snow, 100%.
I know it's cold, it's hard to use gear.
But I like the challenge, but just, like, look around.
Look how awesome this is.
Ah.
I think it's time for some B-roll, folks.
Let's get after it.
♪ Not a smooth talker ♪
♪ Under pressure ♪
♪ Sweaty palms ain't makin' it much better ♪
♪ Somethin' 'bout you ♪
♪ Feels so special ♪
♪ Pretty much from the minute that I met you ♪
(upbeat electronic music)
- These guys were just laughing at me
'cause they were like,
"You have a B-roll face and like Happy Vlog Pete."
And then suddenly it's like 120 and I'm like.
(laughs)
So excited.
Back to the vlog, I'm like,
"What's up?"
And we're shooting in 120.
So funny.
- It's true, great observation, man.
- Yup. - All right Frozen Lake,
I'm gonna throw the 24-70 on,
bang out some portraits
because I always forget to shoot photos.
That's the problem with vlogging,
trying to make vlogs and get photos,
it's like there's so many things to think about.
Not that big of an issue,
it's just like I always end up forgetting.
Then I get home and I'm like,
"What do I use for a thumbnail?"
or "What can I post on Instagram?"
and I'm like "Ah, I didn't actually shoot enough."
So if I had to give you one tip,
when you're out in a place like this or anywhere,
just photograph everything, film everything,
take as many photos as possible,
even if you don't think they're the greatest,
you will get home and
there'll be something that you can use.
It's better than having nothing.
Also, my beard is frozen.
What?
All right, so we are out here
in the middle of a frozen lake, surprise.
And gonna set up the Mavic Air for the first time,
I've never flown it.
So, kind of excited,
we're gonna do the classic running shot
that we do in every single vlog,
where I'm just like mobbing across some landscape.
So, I'm super excited.
I still can't get over the fact my beard's frozen,
that's, like, super weird,
it feels very interesting.
Like,
like icicles and
it's a,
a very weird sensation.
Anyhow.
Let's set up the drone.

- Okay, it's all set.
I just wanna set it up.
(chuckles)
- [Matti] You mean, you want me to play?
- Yeah, my hands are too cold.
(dings)
I'll run, you fly.
(mellow electronic music)
- You gonna catch it?
I have never done this before, Peter.
- [Peter] I've never done it either.
- I don't know if I trust this thing.
- [Peter] I believe in you.
(whimpers) (drone whirs)
You just grab it and hold the thing down.
Grab it at the side, yeah.
(drone whirs faster)
Hold it down.
Flip it over.
- [Peter] Done.
- I actually can't feel my fingertips, so that was scary.
- [Peter] I know, I feel bad for you man, must be so cold.
- Think I almost chopped my fingertips off.
(Peter chuckles)
(footsteps crunch)
(sighs)
(exhales) (grunts)
(feet thud)
(groans)
- I'm so tired.
I'm dead.
Vlog's over.
Peace.
(thuds) (scrapes)
All right.
Okay, back in the room for just a little bit.
Just stuffing a bunch of hand warmers
in my boots, in my jacket.
I dipped in real quick so I could upload the vlog.
Actually, it's taking forever.
It's at 12% and it's been going for like an hour,
so, hopefully that's up in time.
That's the What's In My Camera Bag video,
so I'm hoping by the time you see this,
you've seen that,
if everything goes to plan.
And yeah, I haven't, I'm really pumped on that video.
I haven't done one in like over a year
so, I thought it was worth an update
since I get asked all the time.
And pretty much everything in my kit has changed
from last year minus the main shooting camera.
So, yeah, some good stuff in there.
Had a lot of fun making it.
Thanks for watching it if you did.

- You guys know it wouldn't be a proper vlog
without me drinking coffee in a totally obscene place.
(liquid pours)
Well, check that one off the bucket list.
Drinking coffee in the middle of the Polar Circle,
in the middle of nowhere,
only accessed by snowmobile.
Cheers.
Oh, That's hot.
Whoo.
It's two o'clock which means
the sun sets in like an hour and a half.
I don't even understand that.
I mean, I do understand it
but it's just crazy that you literally only have
like, such little amount of time to shoot
when it's light out
and then it's almost dark for more of the day.
Which makes it a lot harder to shoot,
so, you gotta make the most of the time you have
when you're out here, especially when you're outside.

I'm so tired, I can't even move.

I'm done, see you tomorrow.
