Ninety-five years ago, on the 5th of August 1930, the crew of the Bratvaag stumbled upon a ruined camp on a remote Arctic island off the east coast of Svalbard. There, buried in the ice, lay the bodies of three men: Salomon August Andrée, Nils Strindberg, and Knut Frænkel. Still clinging to their diaries and photographs, they had preserved in them the harrowing story of how they died on that bleak shoreline, hundreds of miles from home. The mystery of their disappearance, decades earlier, had finally begun to unravel.
A huge thanks to everyone who’s watched and commented on the new video - I’m genuinely blown away by the response! It was a long, long edit and years of reading and writing to get the script right. I’m glad it paid off!
Bliadhna Mhath Ùr! From Daisy, Leonie, and myself, I’d like to say a massive THANK YOU to every one of you who has watched, liked, and subscribed over this past year – you’ve made it one of the best ever!
You guys might remember earlier this year I bought my dream truck – a 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf! I've had an amazing year with it so far and I’d love to make a video about it for the main channel here one day. 👀 🏄♂️
Until then, here's a link to my quick video tour I made for my Patrons just after I got it home! Might be a nice way to kill some time if you’re looking for something to watch over the Christmas/New Year’s break! 👇 https://youtu.be/j4--m2DGk8I?si=Grrk_...
Big thanks to everyone who watched my latest video on the Igloo Hotel! It was fun to do a bit of exploring and show off some photography - you could have spent all day photographing the various angles of that incredible interior.

What would you do with a giant igloo if you got your hands on it? I think it would actually make an amazing garage to storage some cars, you could have them stacked up on the various floors!
Something fun: Bambu Lab was kind enough to collaborate with me on a giveaway, and I have one of their fantastic A1 Printers to give away! If you pop over to either my Twitter or Instagram I've left links for how you can enter! (I'll also link my twitter & instagram below)
You won't get it in time for Christmas but you can at least 3D print your way through the January blues!
I Found the Instruction Manual to an Overland Train! I mentioned in my recent video on the LCC-1 that I picked up a reproduction of the original operators manual for the huge LeTourneau Overland train while visiting it Yukon.
I decided to make a video for my Patreon taking a look at it - so if you want 20 minutes of a Scottish man reading an instruction manual, it's your lucky day! You can find the video on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/calumraasay
Had so much fun putting together this little bonus video of 3D printing the Antarctic Snow Cruiser and Rescue Buoy! I'm hoping I can start using more models like this for future videos, especially some warship-based stuff I want to make next year! 👀
A year since I went to visit one of the coolest WWII relics out there: the Rescue Buoy of Terschelling. I'd love to get back there again and see how the museums progress in restoring it!
