What critical fuel is unavailable on Svalbard's north coast, requiring sailors to be self-sufficient?

Shearwater under sail. The index is built by the same person who owns this boat.
A note
I sail. Shearwater is my boat. I built this index because finding specific knowledge inside YouTube channels — a diesel fix, how a crew actually rode out heavy weather, what cruising really costs — meant scrubbing through hours of video and hoping.
“What do sailors actually cook and eat on a long passage?”
“Watch "keeldragger" repower his Valiant 40 — transmission trouble and an obsolete Volvo diesel.”
“What videos would be helpful for me to study ahead of taking the ASA 106 exam?”
The index is automated: software works through every channel daily, building a detailed picture of what each one is actually about. A small group of contributors who sail are being brought on gradually to curate and review channels. Their judgment makes it better than mine alone could.
If you sail and know a channel that belongs here, suggest it — every suggestion is reviewed by hand.
