What I learned from my first Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snowy Storm Camping, Extreme Cold in the Arctic North #vanlife #wintervanlife
Full Travel Documentary Movie. Ultimate travel vlog.
This is my complete first winter of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. Starting in January I go through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from January to April, with snow storms, blizzards, extreme cold, extreme snowfall, slippery roads and some amazing winter beauty as well.
I also show you what I learned from my first winter in the van.
Episode 1 of 2.
If you want to support my video creation you can sign up for exclusive content at Patreon.com/NorwegianXplorer
Includes Camping in Winter in snow storm in my van/Rv whereI found myself stuck in a blizzard on a mountain pass in a snow storm. Elements of ASMR and strong wind sounds.
The weather forecast said 27 m/s, 60 mph or 97 kph and the wind and snow was howling. It was a whiteout. At the end of the day I had an interesting stormy view while having my breakfast, coffee and making pan pizzas.
Enjoy camping and vanlife friends from around the world!
About me: I am a Norwegian adventurer and wilderness explorer. My youtube channel focus on outdoor wilderness adventures and exploration, backpacking, hiking, canyoneering, skiing, climbing and mountaineering. Nights spent in a tent, alone or with friends. From the snow covered mountains and misty fjords of Norway and Scandinavia to the remote plateaus of Yellowstone and the debts of the red canyons of Utah to the summit of Mt Whitney and the heart of Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park. I love the Wilderness! Email is under "For business inquiries", for general questions please comment on a video, I try to answer everyone.

With the pizzas, pop a tiny drop of hot water into the pan with the pizza and put a lid on it. This creates steam which will melt your cheese more thoroughly

I live in Kentucky. In the winter we can get very very cold temperatures. and of course a lot of snow especially around Lexington and upper part of Kentucky where it borders near Indiana and Ohio. I am used to heavy snow falls and a blizzard or 2. The coldest temperature I was ever out in was MINUS -37 Celsius many years ago. That was cold! It was hard to breathe. So I see you out there going through all that, I think I would be afraid to go out that far alone especially. You are very brave, I hope you are always safe. Thank you for showing such lovely nature there where you live. Very beautiful.

I live full-time in my 2018 850 Lance truck camper. The coldest temperature during winter was -25 C or -13 F. I used a dehumidifier and two small ceramic electric heaters along with my propane main furnace. I was nice and toasty.

anti-frost on the windows of the cabin: unroll flower cellophane, in a single sheet from one door to the other over the external rear-view mirrors, so as to cover the area where you look out. If there is a risk of icy wind, cover the windshield completely with two more sheets. If you are afraid of not being able to return to the beaten path, lay out two sheets of paper on the tracks left when you arrive. When you restart, you will lift them outwards, allowing the fresh snow to fall and making much less effort with the shovel. The cellophane sheet for flowers is rigid, so it can be lifted without slipping. It creates a tiny air bubble on the glass which does not cause the glass to freeze, even due to the heat coming from inside. So I managed to get out by following my own compact tracks, while the 4x4s next to me were kicking up a lot of snow dust. I have a simple Ducato Fiat 2x4, a 2003 Ducato. If you don't have anti-cold blankets you can use two blankets on the bonnet that go down over the radiator. When you start the engine, the wool warms up and melts the snow faster. Try it, it's cheap! I forgot, I reuse the cellophane sheets several times. if you want to look outside peacefully at night, use a red light ambient lamp, turn it on a minute before opening the windows and you will see outside perfectly

twice I found myself above -30, incredibly in a valley near Rome, Italy, called Campo Felice, excellent for skiing, where the currents create impressive low pressures; friends from Eastern Europe, to whom I asked for advice on the cold, I left the engine running all night! Because the oil condenses at that temperature, and it is better for the engine to remain running, if there is no way to heat it electrically as happens in your countries.

The reindeers being herded by a snowmobile riding herder is a modern take on an old fairytale.. such a gorgeous scene from the camper sipping coffee and taking it all in - being snug and cozy inside the van with low temp brrrrrr cold winter around you is just magical. The homes were build for such a scene. Skiing through the snow oh what fun… yes I agree it is a gorgeous place thank you for taking me there from my comfortable home in New England USA.

A small inverter generator would be nice to have as an emergency backup. It could run an electric heater if you run out of Propane, charge up your devices. You could also carry a jump starter in case the van battery died. Some vehicles have engine heaters installed in them which could be ran from an inverter generator too. So many things it could power like an electric cooking ring even so you're not stuck without a means of cooking if you run out of propane

I never had to go to work under those conditions, though HAHA

Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I go out in my van as a weekend warrior at this point. That is a lot of snow and cold to contend with. I admire and respect your driving ability in such poor conditions. I was raised in a snowy area and to this day, I do not care for driving in it. I do not have a separate heating unit in it as yet. I have not decided whether to install a Webasto or install a mini wood stove. The jury is still out on this one. That said, I will be following you for your tips and tricks!I Enjoy your future adventures!

Thank you, I have seen both Webastos and wood stoves work well, My van has a Truma heating system, and it works like a charm.

Great video. Great Adventure. You seemed to deal with everything that was thrown at you - awesome!! Lots of great advice from previous contributors too. In Scotland, the slightest flake of snow has everyone in a panic!!! The world needs to learn from the Scandinavian countries on how to deal with challenging weather. You did yourself proud. Hello from Scotland.

Hi from Northern Alberta Canada. Great to see your winters over in Norway and Sweden! We have very much the same temps and snowfalls as you. In winter we often hit -40 C here for a few wks. Here's a tip for you that most of the experienced Northern Canada drivers know. To eliminate the need for windshield wipers when it's snowing, don't turn on the defrost but let your interior windows stay a bit colder and the snow will not stay on your windshield at all and not gum up your wipers. Give it a try! Love your vid's, keep on truckin'

I've been in snows like that, but you take your home thru it. Yikes. Do you use a diesel heater or propane? Backups are a good idea. Good luck. Greetings from Northern Montana.
@NorwegianXplorer
@NorwegianXplorer 7 месяцев назад
It is a propane heater, truma combi 4, that you can also get in a diesel version. I have 2 units of 10kg propane bottles with me, that will last me 10-12 days in extreme cold. They are around 30$ each to swap.

I just stumbled across your channel and I’ve got to say incredible scenery. Yes, I subscribed and I’m sure I will love your other videos. I love the snow, but like someone else from Tennessee mentioned it doesn’t snow much here. When I was a child in school it was pretty much a guarantee that we would have 3-5 snow events. 2-3” but also one that would be 6”+. I miss those days. Thank you for sharing your adventures and especially this very snowy one. Travel safe!

"I love adventures!" "I'm having fun !" That's typically you, dear Jarl. You're looking for challenge, for all what is exciting.... Heavy snowfall, icy temperatures (on top of the North Pole it couldn't almost be more freezing), the biting blizzard, the totally snow-covered dangerous roads visibility zero !, even the intense cold in the van, the problems of starting the car, all this doesn't lower your optimism and happiness... Amazing poetic pictures of ice- and snowcristals under a virgin deep blue skye. Rosa or golden horizons under a setting or rising sun...And you were lucky to see so closely a herd of moose, your favourite northern animals... You are never run out of recepees for your meals, you eat well ! I'm happy you enjoy so intensily.... Good luck, Jarl ! (and looking forward to watch part 2 !) 🚌 🍳 🍜 💙

FANTASTIC Jarl !!! This is an hour and a half of the reasons why you and "Camping With Steve", are my first and foremost SUBSCRIPTIONS!!! I love Steve for his humor while pretending to "bumble" thru' the wild outdoors. But you, Jarl, give us listeners and watchers the REAL true-life adventures of Camping and Van Living. There is no one who relates precisely what the trials of outdoors living is really like. And....as I have previously said, "you ALWAYS give us content that is what your VIDEO TITLE says is going to happen. There are many who say, "Wild Weather !, Blizzard !, High Winds !, Torrential Rains !," and then what happens ? They say, "goodnight, I'll tell you in the morning if anything crazy happens" ! Or they say nothing except "goodnight ", and then in the morning tell you, "you should've seen what happened last night. Well...that's why we tuned in to this person. To see the Wild Weather, Blizzard, High Winds, etc., etc.!! YOU ALWAYS DELIVER THE THE CONTENT THAT YOU QUOTE IN YOUR HEADING. THANKYOU SO MUCH !
