Svalbard Bound
Hey friends, it’s us!
We have been invited to go on a trip to Svalbard for 10 days, starting tomorrow. It has been in the works for a while, and we have been working ungodly hours the last few weeks to prepare.
We will be on a ship along with a number of naturalists, scientists, and photographers who work with National Geographic, and we have been selected to test new recording gear in extreme conditions by the Norwegian company Nomono. Additionally, every time we travel north, Kaitlin comes back with new ideas and new stories just waiting to drip from her fingertips.
No joke. We, the creators of The White Vault, are actually going to Svalbard!!!! We checked the weather and no human sacrifices are in the forecast!
We will be taking photos, recording audio from animals and locations on Svalbard, and our ship will pass by the coordinates where our fictional Outpost Fristed stands. We anticipate having no internet for the duration of this trip and should something happen to us, you can find the outline to season 6 among our papers, computer files, audio logs, and a handwritten notes on the back of a napkin... Though the napkin is marred by a dark stain that resembles dried blood.
In all seriousness, we look forward to sharing our adventures with you when we return.
Sincerely,
-Travis & Kaitlin
P.S.: Eezo will be staying in Germany with his dear human and dog friends, going on great hikes in the German Alps and running beside bicycles in the sunny Bavarian spring.

Did you know that Svalbardians (?) build their homes with narrow doorways to help prevent entry by polar bears? True story!
If at any point, travel is not advised... do not go to remote locations. K?

Travel safe and is def advised especially if it sparks inspiration! Godspeed! If you hear Graham's voice in the wind, tell him we miss him 🫶🏽 Be careful, and try not to sneak any teeth or hearts in boxes back with you, I'm not sure customs would find it amusing lol 🤣🦷🫀
Hope you have an absolutely fab time! Do try not to get stranded in any remote outposts ;-)
