I clicked on the video for the thumbnail and was not disappointed. Gorgeous views out there at night. I haven’t had the chance to experience it yet in person, so thanks for sharing this experience.
It's minus 10 outside, the heater may go out any minute, but the northern lights are amazing so how cares. Showing the spirit of a true adventure seeker.
Magnificent Alex,from all the whiteness whilst trekking to the Cairn to the amazing spectacle of the wonderful Aurora Borealis.👌Thank you once again,Safe Travels fella👍
What a lot of people forget to do with diesel heaters is provide an adequate return air path back to the heater inlet effectively starving it of adequate airflow and forcing it to run hotter. The drone shots of you walking on the lake were both stunning and scary 😧 how can you navigate in total whiteness?
Yeah people often have minimal clearance on thr in take for the heaters. Might whilst I’d bottom of the cupboard has a large cut hole next to it so it has plenty of air to suck it. I’m run it’s for well over a year like this. This over was a issue with the board not controlling the fan speed correctly. As for whiteout nav, it’s about compass bearing, pacing and knowing were you have been.
@@MispronouncedAdventures " once crossed into Angola for a beer" Sounds like a replacement for the old "why did the chicken cross the road..." joke? Why did the guy illegally cross an international boarder? Because there was a free beer on the other side!
Great shots of the northern lights. I live in NZ and this time last week I was on a Dreamlinerheading south to see the southern lights at 40,000ft. Bloody amazing. They even turned the nav light off so would not interfere with the photography. As they said no one elce if flying that far south. Love your channel.
Brilliant vlog Alex. Walking into a headwind an be so punishing. Funny thing when you said, at least it will be behind me on the way back. A lot of the time I find is just when it's time to head back , the wind has changed direction and back in your face haha. Wonderful northern light display. Hope your having a amazing time out in Nepal. Safe travels
Hi. Really enjoy your channel - lots of good stuff for my own van build! Are you still running on diesel from the main tank for the diesel heater? If so did you have to protect/insulate the feed pipe to the diesel heater? Thanks for posting these videos
Yes, my diesel heater goes directly off my fuel tank as the transit have a auxiliary fuel port in the van fuel tank sender unit. The pipe is protected with conduit on corners where it could rub. But it is not insulated, however, in the Nordics, where I go, diesel is pre-treated at pumps, so no problems with it gelling up in the line.
@@MispronouncedAdventures Thanks for the reply. I was toying with the idea of using an internal separate tank for the diesel heater supply. I think I'll see if there is an auxiliary port on my Crafter tank.
Stunning! Love the adventure. Always intrigued (think spotted another one in this video) about the number of Tesla's driving around in the cold and snow. Wonder what they do to keep the range up?
Reminded me a wee bit of being up a hill with some friends in Liechtenstein and them pointing up one valley and saying 'there's Austria' and 'there's Switzerland' up another. Also, it's like I've always said: if you can't decide which colour to wear, just go with all of them! 🤘 Safe travels.
Yeah it’s a bits crazy something when you come crossing borders when out in the wild or hills. When they’re just geological features, can you can change country so easily. Oh definitely I like having lots of colourful kit which obviously doesn’t match colour wise!
I think ya need more coastal cliff edge parks with gale force winds in ya life Alex . Instead of this boooooring Northern Lights malarkey . LOL Sorry Alex only joking . We're greener than the Northern Lights with all that amazing sights ya get to see . Stay safe . Fattrucker
@@MispronouncedAdventures I hope the next coastal park up isn't as bad as the last ? Are you really where you said you were on the scouse pixies live last night ? (I don't want to spoil it for the rest so won't say) Man you get about a bit . LOL . I did say "Hi" last night but the posts were flying past too quick for you to catch probably . It was pretty hectic on the giveaway LOL . Stay safe . Fattrucker
@@MispronouncedAdventures Working ? LOL . Come on Alex . Can you really call what you get to do "work" ? Work is a chore we don't like to do but sometimes get paid for . It's hardly work when you'd chose to do it paid or not . PMSL . You're living a life my dreams are made of bud . I'm only pulling your leg BTW 😉👍😎😎😎 I'm guessing you've driven ? That's one helluva hike if not . A tad more than the 20kms to the tri-nation cairn. LOL . How bloody far behind is TH-cam then . Watch out for yeti's and I don't mean the van 🤔🤣😂 I wonder where you got the vans name from . . . .🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣😂🤣😂 Fattrucker
There is also a tree country can east of, where you a standing, between Norway, Finland and Russia. There, you cant go around it. You will be jailed if you go on the russian side.
You didn't reach to the Lyngen Alps. There has been marvelous weather, lots of tourist, but unfortunately many avalanche. Many tourist has died in those.
Yeah I did read that the Russia Finland Norway border is completely different and not possible like this one. Very familiar with avalanches as part of my guiding work and qualifications. Unfortunately many tourists don’t understand as they are complex beasts or underestimate the risks regarding avalanche and snow in general
great drone footage and along with your editing it makes us appreciate what an extraordinary planet we live on
Thank you it definitely is an extraordinary planet!
What an amazingly beautiful planet we are privileged to live on.
It’s an incredible world that’s for sure

Glad it’s didn’t disappoint. It’s was a brilliant display the evening. Hopefully you’ll get to experience it at somepoint!

Cant miss the lights after all!
Spectacular but I haven’t changed my mind , yer still mad. 👍
Thank you and Perfectly acceptable 😀
Also, loved the distant opening shoot.
Thank you very much! It was a bit different
Magnificent Alex,from all the whiteness whilst trekking to the Cairn to the amazing spectacle of the wonderful Aurora Borealis.👌Thank you once again,Safe Travels fella👍
Such a beautiful walk in a Big wide expanse
This was wonderful, thank you Alex.
No problem, thank you for watching
Very intrepid hat’s off cheers
Thank you! I think I’ll keep my hat on! My ear will get cold!
Wow. Thank you for sharing. Gives me goosebumps!
No problem at all! It’s amazing to see and it moves so quickly

Sometimes your Tautaun can't maintain it's body temp when outdoors at night. Brilliant light show! Nice job on the illegal boarder crossings! :)
Yeah no idea that heater issue that evening but it never happen again.
Not the first illegal border crossing, once crossed into Angola for a beer
@@MispronouncedAdventures " once crossed into Angola for a beer"
Sounds like a replacement for the old "why did the chicken cross the road..." joke?

Looks awesome northern lights brill
So envious 👍👍
It was a great display many nights of the trip it was cloudy
Northern lights are mesmerising 🤪👍
Thank you it’s was a brilliant display, watched it for a long time

That sounds incredible! I would love to 1 day see the southern lights. Witnessing them from aircraft must be special such a different view
Stunning!! Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much
Absolutely awesome!
Thank you!
So great to see the northern lights
So happy I got to see a good display!
Awesome mate..... pure Awesome 🙌🙌🙏
Thank you! It’s was a pretty awesome day and night
Nice trip to Treriksröset!! 👏👏😎😎
Thank you, it was lovely to visit
@@MispronouncedAdventures I have never been there, must do it sometimes. 🏁
That is truly epic
It was a great display!
Well worth the walk. The cairn looks so different in the summer.... ☀️
Yeah,, surrounded by water with a walk way from my understanding
Amazing views of the northern lights. That walked looked epic. Hope your heater is behaving for you. Great adventure 🌍❤️
Great little adventure and the heater hasn’t given any issues since
Great video and what an amazing sighting of the northern lights at the same time.
A great day all round that’s for sure!
Wow, those northern lights shots were sensational! 🙌🏻
It’s a lucky night to be able to witness them
Truely amazin vlog Alex, loved the northern lights. Slippers look nice and snug btw! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Great display of the lights
Loving the content... will you be at Stratford this year for the overland show?
Thank you and yes I will be. I’ll be In the content creators area.

Yeah, Wind has a funny thing where it changes direction to spite you! It was a great Northern Lights display
That was a brilliant walk and video to watch as always Alex. Bet you were tired out after that one! If only all border crossings where that peaceful
Definitely a beautiful walk. I felt my right calf for days!

@@MispronouncedAdventures Thanks for the reply. I was toying with the idea of using an internal separate tank for the diesel heater supply. I think I'll see if there is an auxiliary port on my Crafter tank.
I know lots of also have a internal separate tank. Personally, I like the hassle free of having it out of the larger main tank.
Lovely northern lights footage again. Would be interested in why the casing was overheating. Was it a fan fault or an airflow issue?👁👁.👋
No nothing wrong with airflow on either side of the heater. Just a peculiar hiccup. Which never happened again
@@MispronouncedAdventures Right, cheers. Hope your new trip works out ok.👋
Stunning! Love the adventure. Always intrigued (think spotted another one in this video) about the number of Tesla's driving around in the cold and snow. Wonder what they do to keep the range up?
Lots of Electric cars and hybrids up there. The Tesla has a battery heating system and there seems to be a lot of charge points around
Reminded me a wee bit of being up a hill with some friends in Liechtenstein and them pointing up one valley and saying 'there's Austria' and 'there's Switzerland' up another.
Also, it's like I've always said: if you can't decide which colour to wear, just go with all of them! 🤘
