Hey guys! Just wanted to give you a heads up that I would much prefer for this comment section to be less judgmental and patronising than the previous one. You can rest assured I am fine - I’ve been travelling solo for 6 years , including to countries most people consider to be the most dangerous in the world; I’ve driven from Mexico to Guatemala to Belize to Alaska (yup); I’ve climbed the tallest mountains in Antarctica, in Africa and in South America; and I am very cognizant of what my dog’s needs and wants are and can recognize by his facial expression and body language is something is off. So, please, let’s all just take a deep breath and enjoy the journey. Appreciate you and see you in the next episode!

@darrinrebagliati5365 6 месяцев назад

Windshield wipers on frozen hiways. Canadian truck driver here. The best piece of advice I can give you is turn your defroster off. Your defroster heats your windshield so the snow melts against it, but it's cold enough 1cm away that it can refreeze. Wind chill at 100km/hr at -5C (60mph, 29F) is -50C. Turn your heater to blow down and keep it warm enough to be comfortable with your defroster off as much as possible. The snow won't melt and stick to and clog up your wipers, also won't freeze them to the Windshield when you park.

@ShaunSpaeth 6 месяцев назад

Some of the things I used to do to help against all the ice issues with wipers when I was a long haul trucker: blast your defroster as hot as you can with your windows cracked (so you don't overheat inside the cab lol), that way the ice can't accumulate so much on the windshield. Also, adding rubbing alcohol to your wiper fluid reservoir can help keep the ice at bay, although that doesn't always help since I'm sure it will be getting cold enough to even reach the freezing temp of alcohol where you're going. Honestly, you can never truly prevent the ice buildup, but those couple of tricks certainly helped in my travels. Good luck to you in yours! Thanks for all the awesome content and optimism through the years! 🙂

@Hyvis 6 месяцев назад

Drove a taxi in Finland for ten years, ice accumulates to wipers only when it's like 0 > -2c - or you're just driving too slow in the cold!! XD There's a hint of truth here, if it's cold enough and you have enough speed, the snowfall flows over the car without sticking! And no worries, our windscreen washer fluids handle temperatures down to -60c. :D

You mentioned mindfulness increasing your appreciation of the little things - that's what the cabin is, a brief haven of comfort in difficult conditions.

Onward and upward - strength to your arm.

@SveninColorado 6 месяцев назад

Altitude compared with Latitude I'm smiling here. I'm 75 years old. I grew up in Colorado; a lifelong outdoorsman, skiing, snowshoeing, hunting and fishing. Where you are experiencing traveling through the various life zones governed by what latitude you find yourself; from the Temperate forests to the Boreal (Taiga) forests which transition into the Tundra and finally the completely frozen Arctic / Antarctic zones where little or no life exists. Anyone who lives in or uses the Colorado Rockies for recreation, travel through the same biomes which are defined by altitude, not latitude. I know all to well, the same problems you are experiencing with your vehicle! It's good practice to have redundant systems or replacement parts for systems you rely on to stay alive. Good luck... You are well prepared, well seasoned and resourceful. We are following your travels closely and praying for ya!

Hope this helps!

@solikunzit 6 месяцев назад

Out of all the crazy expeditions Eva have done, this is not the craziest in my eyes at all. I see her as a pro after doing this for so many years. I don't think anyone needs to be afraid for her safety. Coming with good tips is always great, but it is possible to give tips without making them judgmental. It might be because I'm Swedish myself and are very used to a lot of snow during winter (even if i'm not living up in the very north). But as long as you drive carefully and have proper tire, you will be fine. Yes this kind of expedition is not for everyone. But with all things Eva have been doing throughout the years, this is no problem for her. I hope you'll have a good time in Sweden and the north Eva! 🥰

We do mostly see it different as well. Of course she is a bit crazy for doing it, and of course you can always be more prepared for doing certain things. But if you've been following Eva for a good while you must know what kind of person she is by now. She is a bit crazy. She does and seek crazy stuff that the normal person maybe don't.

Super cool! Eva, mindfulness is the way, even, or especially, in the extremes you’re living in. Defenders can do it , and you too!! Believe in yourself, you can do it , YOU CAN !!!

Eva! There's something I'd like to highlight that captures something I realized a while back. When you made the decision from "No, I'm here to wild camp" to yes to taking the cabin, it reflects a flexibility I've adopted when it comes to my car camping trips in general. Many, when they think of camping, think the point of camping is to stay on the campsite for the whole time. That need not be the case. I've done car camping stretches where I'll go into town, hit a new restaurant, visit friends who may be close by, and explore areas outside the campsite. The campsite itself becomes a great place to retire to in the evening - starting that fire, an outside stroll, stargazing, tea by candlelight. It's probably "glamping" by some measures, but being flexible to the POSSIBILITIES of what one can do, can make things far more enjoyable. And in your case, in saying yes to the cabin, to get a chance to relax, fix what's in disarray, and segway to a sidetip to a mountain! Sometimes, we approach things with too much "mission". Most of the world's famous explorers were famous not so much for their mission, but for the things they discovered along the way, at the destination, and even explorations beyond the "mission". Have fun, take in the night sky and the Northern Lights, and safety and strength to you, Vilk, and Odyssey. One idea I'd like to leave you with - Odyssey would look badass with a whip antenna connected to an amateur radio. From a backup of comms, to a way of engaging some folks "live" as you are travelling. And being in the Arctic Circle with the Northern Lights, you have a way to bounce a "Hello" via radio, off the Northern Lights to Alaska and Northern Canada. Cheers!

I love seeing that you mediate even if it’s for 2 minutes. I am learning how to it to help my anxiety and wow! It’s so amazing. I admire you getting out there and going for it and getting out of your comfort zone. You have got this girl!! I love your nice warm boots. What brand are those? I have been looking for some and haven’t found the right ones that will keep me warm and keep out the snow. Enjoy this amazing journey that you are own🤗 Looking forward to seeing where each day takes you. I am happy you made it the Arctic. Love seeing Vilk have fun in the snow. Such a sweet boy who is enjoying this journey with you. Safe travels ❤🤗

Welcome to the Arctic! Be carful and don't take any risks, -30*C is not nice when stranded. If you get any issues the LR-community up here got your back. 😉 Best wishes on your trip and if you have any questions about Overlanding in Norway then just reach out. Cheers, Simon 🇳🇴

I made a concerned comment a few episodes ago. Your response has made me think about my negative attitude. You've simply invited people along on your ride. It's your journey and you're very experienced. I'm going to be more open and just experience the journey without trepidation!

@GuyWithTheDogs 6 месяцев назад

Eva you are great, a true INTO THE WILD woman, not many men would have your courage, resilence and craftiness. Sweden hiwever is off my list. Those Kapo attitudes in the campsites have truly shocked me.

@TheBulle 6 месяцев назад

Wrong comparison to make…I wouldn’t compare her adventure to ‘Into the Wild’ as Chris McCandless well, didn’t make it out alive from his Alaskan adventure… 😬

@animalswin2105 6 месяцев назад

@@TheBulletrue I was hesitant about mentionning him but does he deserve to be the standard of bad luck to the point that we prefer not to compare ourselves to him ever out of superstition (fear)... Or was he and is he a mythical figure now, a semi God in the minds of nature/camping lovers ? Heck, I've got a sticker with the silhouette of the actor in the movie sitting on his van reading a book : on my van. I know it' s cliché, amateur and so on. I don't care. I LOVED reading Krauker's book about him, he was not just an adventurer, he was an (extreme) philosopher and a thinker, putting his ideals into practice. I have the uttermost respect for this man.

@TheBulle 6 месяцев назад

@@animalswin2105 Same. I admire his adventurous spirit even if it ended badly. He deserves respect and never liked it when people say he was a fool. He was certainly a bit naive but he at least had the guts (like Eva) to follow his dream and live the way he wanted to.

Awesome video as always Eva and Vlik. Sometimes a setback is a good thing because you really find out just how strong you are when things don't work out the way you planned it. Y'all's adventures are so epic thank for letting us ride along with y'all on y'all's adventures.

@Alifeofglory 6 месяцев назад

Eva, you don't need to find ways to travel constantly for your channel. Just add other interests along with it. I have a mix in my vlogs, so if I am not traveling I am cooking or building, or crafting or gardening. You can do this 😊❤

@JenniferLangille 6 месяцев назад

Corrie from Overland Bound shared your channel with me a few years back when I was going through bit of a rough patch. DAMN GIRL, what a joy it's been to vicariously reconnect with this level of adventure and curiosity! So inspiring, and helping me recover and heal from a few tough years that "grounded" my travels. (I did a year of overland travel (Jeep Rubicon) and would have given anything to have known there was another adventurous wallflower out there.) Thank you for sharing your story and passions. I credit you for my recent commitment to my first canicross trailfest event with my girl Frankie later in the year. As well as the kick in the pants to get my rig prepped to reconnect with those long missed two-tracks. Safe journey and good luck with staying warm! A battle worth enduring for the experience of a lifetime!

Hi Eva and welcome to Sweden! Writing this from my van by a skislope in central Sweden, btw. 🙂 As you have noticed many camp sites in northern Sweden have that season policy thingy. Usually camp sites next to ski slopes might have a few short term spots if you get into trouble finding somewhere again. Or at least they have power plugs outdoors.. I can get that people from further south gets worried, but no worries. Trust your gut and you'll be fine. Have a good trip!

@user-tu6hu2mj1d 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank You. Low, horizontal, windshield cracks are usually caused by not clearing snow from the base of your windshield and then running your windshield defrosters on high. Hot air on the inside and snow on the outside causes lots of stress that can result in cracks. No big deal as long as they don't obscure your field of vision. The good news is that your defroster seems to produce lots of heat. Keep it on high and stop periodically to clear the ice off of your wipers. It should improve if the temps drop well below freezing. We live in the northern Rockies and don't replace windshields until May or June (because they are more likely to crack during the winter).. A grain shovel works great for clearing large amounts of snow - to big to carry in a backpack, but great if you have the room to carry one in your vehicle. A Little Buddy heater works well and does not require a battery (heater fans draw a lot of power from your battery). A 1lb fuel canister will run a Little Buddy heater for 5-6 hours.

Outside some of the shaded areas should give you enough exposure to the sun to turn you vehicle into a sauna (relatively speaking) even as low as the temperature is. Plan for and take advantage of it when you can. One thing if you still want to head back to the states, my relative is renting out their dry cabin in Fairbanks for $2500 a month. The scenery is just like what you have in this video, but you always get to go back to a VERY cozy and nice cabin.

@ClayBlasdel44 6 месяцев назад

I hope this sin't repetitive or judemental you might consider "arctic blades" ie wipers that are covered in a rubber envelope so they don't freeze up. Good luck

@RodeHemel 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, yeah, the conditions are extremely challenging. They demand a lot from you, and you have to push your limits if you want to make progress. It's also true what you're saying; to conquer this icy environment, you have to go for it physically, step out of your comfort zone, and experience it intensely. I have a similar experience with winter sports, especially running, where I challenge myself to do it outdoors with as little clothing as possible. But for you, it's obviously even more challenging because you're alone, and everywhere you go, and often along the way, you're on your own. Wishing you the best of luck, and thanks for the inspiration. Oh, and don't drink too much, okay?🤣
