[@Njolmir90Greybeard]

The Aurora Borealis will look crap if you are surrounded by electric lights. For the ultimate experience, you need to go into the wilds, where the only light is from a campfire at most 😁👍🏻 Will really recommend anywhere in Finnmark, the very north of Norway 👍🏻

[@bradenalder9016]

and my uncle in alsaka said it also deppends on the time of the year

[@corekareSibe]

I have seen it in both Labrador in the North with no light pollution and in Newfoundland in an area with noise pollution, huge difference. Being further North may have made it brighter as well

[@yvonnemcgruder3296]

I live in the deep Interior of Alaska away from light pollution. The Aurora is ever changing and is like dancing ribbons of sparkling light in the sky. Lack of a moon is very helpful. The Aurora is only visible in the winter months because you need darkness. You also need a cloudless sky. This means it will likely be bitterly cold as well, unfortunately. Most images of the Aurora include heavy edits to bring out purples and reds. The common colors to see are yellows and greens mostly. In my seven winters up here, I can say the Aurora is absolutely magical to see, but it isn't the same every night--it isn't even the same minute to minute.

[@unit4735]

I live in central Canada in a town of 2-3000 the aurora borealis is beautiful some nights it’s brighter than the moon and the street lights

Did no one else notice that there were two moons? I couldn't believe Fooster didn't mention it when he looked up, and don't see anyone else mentioning it in the comments. I'm not just crazy, right? Can't wait for more Fooster! Thanks for playing this.

[@sethdahlin7737]

Hey fooster just a little recommendation for survival, once you get clothing and protection from the elements you should try to sleep during the day and explore during the night. You also wouldn't need to worry about heat as much. Also if this game is like real life then most of the desert animals would come out at night and so be easy foe you to hunt.

[@zachhenderson7982]

I think the game said you can only sleep at night

[@torisantiago1981]

Omg this game is so freaking amazing! I would definitely do the cold.

[@raimundo116]

A cold climate is WAAY harder to survive, but if it is to choose between a desert and a snowy mountain I would choose the mountains

[@MrAcuta73]

Having had to do both in military training, I agree...but then I'd rather be cold than hot. Can only take off so many clothes. 🤣

[@johnblack8872]

I feel like that's a blanket statement. Cold environment usually means snow, snow means water. You get lost in the desert especially a bad desert that reaches about 100F you'll sweat and people's immediate reaction is to take of their clothes which then means your sweat which keeps you cool gets evaporated off your body and your body dries out. And you may not find water if you survive the day you then must endure the night which....gets cold and because you went into a desert you probably are not dressed for cold nights. Point is desert has no water and is hot and cold. I'm no survival expert. Most of my info is coming from survivorman and others. BUT based on his show he's stayed at all the snow locations the full amount of time. But when he did one of the hotter deserts he did not.

[@raimundo116]

@@johnblack8872 Yes, that's what I am saying. Between a cold climate and a deser, the desert is harder to survive because it is empty of resources but on the otherhand, any cold climate will require shelter and fire. That's why cold climates are harder to survive in. Also risk of frostbite. Regarding the snow, you cannot use it as a reliable source of water, as you will get sick from it

Just wanted to say thank you Fooster for making consistent, quality content and I’m a subscriber for sure! I’ve already watched several videos recently and as someone who doesn’t play these survival games myself, I am still deeply interested in them, so this is a perfect compromise with a great voice and personality behind the screen to guide to boot!

I watched a bit of this in early access, and heck yes I would luv for you to continue the series. One of the things I like most about your playthroughs, is that you don't spend an exorbitant amount of time in the freakin menus... I know it's part of the game, but you actually concentrate on the game itself. Makes it an enjoyable experience. Thank you for that. Insta sub and always the thumbs-up from Colombia, South America.

Aw thanks Ricardo

[@naits95]

I live in Norway, so the aurora borealis is something we can see often here. The calrity of it varies, sometimes its this great veil of colors across the night sky, but other times its faint. My mother used to tell me that if you whistle at it, it will dance

I live in Canada and we get to see the Aurora Borealis quite a bit. When going out of town, away from the city lights and ideally atop a large hill/mountain, it's awe inspiring. The colours are mind bending. You will very rarely see them if you're in a city.

About the aurora, I live in Alaska and it truly is that beautiful. When you get the greens and reds dancing together, it’s one of the most beautiful sights you can see.

[@TrinityOmega]

First, thank you for the fun content. Especially when you play with others, it gets even better. Second, the Auroras and their intensity depends on solar activity. I've seen some where they were barely visible, and others where they were fairly intense. How far down south, or north they go also varies on solar activity.

[@tinykitshrgaming1949]

Amazing! As always great content!

Fooster, I wish you would return to this game and give it a solid run through. This is a GREAT game of survival. So much to learn and experience.

[@tommeakin1732]

I am a little bit of a freak when it comes to cold tolerance and lack of heat tolerance, but I think an extreme hot climate is just objectively worse. If you're cold, physical activity can do a lot to improve your situation, you can always add more layers of clothing, and fire is a relatively achievably thing that is a game changer. In a hot climate, what can you do but get in the shade, splash yourself with water, fan yourself, and remove all of your clothes (you can only remove a certain number of layers lol)? At a certain point, you're unbearably hot and you can do nothing about it.

[@iambiggus]

I hear the arguments, but I still completely disagree. Staying cool in the heat may be an occasional chore, but staying warm in freezing cold temps is a calorie burning nightmare... all the time. Just sitting around doing nothing trying to stay warm is a struggle, even next to a fire; forget about moving around gathering food/fuel/water etc. And then if you get hot from exertion because you have 8 layers on, you start to get damp from sweat, and if you're not extremely careful it's minutes from hypothermia and death. If you have relatively decent shelter from the sun, you can always hide out in the shade during the day and move around in the early evening/ morning when it's cooler out to gather supplies. You'll get absolutely no break when it's cold.

[@The_franchise]

unless you have been in scouts for years you wont achieve any fire for hours and in a very cold enviorment the fire will just go away when you actually get it to burn and with physical activites comes sweat and you become shit cold when you sweat in a cold area and layers of clothes doesnt really help if you are in a extremely cold area. and if your in the cold for too long you get frostbite and if you have frostbite for too long your fingers or toes starts becoming black and then you need to amputate because it will spread and rot all of your flesh so they are both as equally bad

[@nickmanville900]

According to Les Stroud and many other survivalists its the opposite. You cant sleep when its too cold your body will force you to wake up, and while you can do some activity to warm yourself up you cant sleep at the same time. Also, you have to be careful with that activity because in a sub-zero survival situation if you sweat, you die. The sweat wont evaporate and you just have a layer of water on you waiting to freeze you to death.

[@Galejro]

Any survival situation is equally challenging and hard, that's why it's called survival, not thriving. But if I were to choose between being deposited by fate on a tropical island or the middle of a tundra I'd say tropical Island. Cause in that environment besides, careful planning, utilizing knowledge and still lots of hard work, I can at least be sure there's some food and drink lying around me. So it is more forgiving place to be resource-wise. But of course this is still offset by it's set of inconveniences. Choose your poison, do you wanna face hypothermia or malaria in your sleep, do you wanna find a deadly scorpion in your shoe or the leftovers of your toes.

[@nickmanville900]

@@Galejro "Any survival situation is equally challenging and hard" thats just not true. Yes every location has its advantages and disadvantages but its not like they all completely even each other out. For example lets look at surviving in a temperate rain forest. Advantages: lots of drinkable water, lots of edible plants, relatively easy to catch and eat game. Disadvantages: rain sucks, possibly some predators (though very unlikely there are any big enough to want to threaten a human) Now lets look at surviving in the arctic. Advantages: Literally none. Disadvantages: The ambient temperature will kill you in minutes, all game animals are highly adapted and blend in well, polar bears are apex predators that will absolutely go after humans

[@devinbeers6140]

Yo you have to make a part two this video was dope I loved it

[@McRockni]

To choose between; 1) sunburn, baked potato brain, and none stop sweating - day in day out. Plus, never again can wear a cozy sweater. And 2) try not to get frostbite, always have wet socks, and high risk of getting a cold. As a person that don't look that good in revealing clothes, I would definitely choose the very cold climate. I love fireplaces, blankets, hot drinks, and cozy thick clothes way too much to choose to live in a place where it's around 40-50°C during the day. You would be mostly able to be outside during the night/evenings, and have to protect your skin and brain from baking. Besides, sleeping/cuddling would be a nightmare unless you have an AC. And the most important part, I would never be able to own a poor dog in such warm climate, the breeds I want prefer colder climates! Either way, both ways, you would be spending most of your life indoors, and have to prepare yourself whenever you want to go outside. I would be missing swimming in a lake and walking around in a cute dress, sunbathing and stuff. But if it was a choice, I would rather live in a cold place. Even though I hate freezing, it's easier to find a way to warm yourself up, than cooling yourself down, in my opinion. As we like to say; it's never a bad weather, just badly dressed ;} (A different question would be if anyone would prefer to live on the ocean or something drastic like that?)

As of what type of weather one prefer, hot or cold. Both extremes are bad. But in general people belonging to tropical and sub tropical weather will prefer hot weather and vice versa. Plus each type of weather comes with its unique challenges. For example : hot tropical weather brings a lots of diseases and pests, insects too.

[@hdnexus7005]

the aurora borealis in games is usually very much enhanced so that it's extremely visible and beautiful looking. whereas in real life, how it looks depends heavily on the season and where in the world you are and see it, as well as the fact that it not always being as visible or cool each time even in the same place. usually it's more beautiful the closer to the north-/south pole you are. it is really beautiful irl so the person that told you that must've had way too high expectations, most likely from expecting it to be like in the games, but it's definitely worth seeing and gives a kinda breathtaking experience if you've never seen it before.
