It's not hard at all.
It has no additional challenges over living anywhere else.
And his argument for this is that he spent a lot of time up north.
Look how awesome it is.
He doesn't mention that when he's done that, he's had entire indigenous families basically hunting for him, cooking, making his clothes, doing all the hard parts.
Yeah, anyone can live there if you employ 20 people with skills.
Okay.
Stevenson has also had a very recent public humiliation.
It's a, it's a tragedy, but to him, it's a humiliation, which is that he brought 25 people on a ship to look for a secret continent up North.
He was like, there's going to be a secret continent up there.
I'm going to find it.
The ship got stuck in the ice.
Stevenson bailed with a team of sled dogs.
He just got on a dog sled and was like, bye crew and mushed away and
He said he was going for help, but he just left and didn't come back and went to safety himself.
And the remaining members of the expedition, everyone else, which included a child, by the way...
had to like make their way on sea ice to the nearest land they could find, which was Wrangel Island, the same place Ada's going.
And a lot of them ended up dying from cold and starvation.
That's exactly what he did.
I can't swear to it, but... He blamed them.
