Bumped into Simon a couple weeks ago whilst shopping and whilst it was a brief interaction, he was super nice, wished me and my family a good Christmas and let me have a photo. Loved his content before but now he has my utmost respect. Super sound guy. Saw him from a distance at Manchester airport yesterday by pure coincidence as well!
@@somslovensky959 where did you bump into him out of curiosity? I think he lives Manchester centre I still watch New York to LA with no money his content you can watch over and over!!!
I love how unprepared he always is, and how he always has the typical Welsh attitude of 'Ah, don't worry, it'll be alright'. "Have you got your parachute for this skydive?" "Should I have brought one?" "Yes." "Ah, don't worry, it'll be alright..."
"What a sound guy, he offered me a parachute but I'll be fine. Seagull where you from, you from around here?" "...." "What a sound guy" Seriously though, Simon is a cracking lad
Well to be honest, even the Norwegians seems surprised every winter when the snow arrives. I live in Østfold and I’m embarassed of it. Complete chaos. Every. Damn. Year.
@@elevat1on I know, som jeg sa. Jeg blir flau av å se folk bli overrasket av snø hvert jævla år.. folk som kjører i 20-30 i 60-sona fordi det er hvitt på bakken 😂
My first introduction to Simon was on a Baldy video, it was the Mexico trip in 2020. I really hated him on those videos. Seem like a tool and obnoxious. But after finally deciding to check out his channel like a year or so ago, I really grown to like him. A true genuine nice dude. Keep the great videos coming
Probably my favourite episode! I’ve lived on a sailboat for several years and I go to both Svalbard and Tromsø quite frequently in my job. I feel like you really captured the essence of northern Norwegians with the people you met here, the adventurous young couple, the older gentleman who tells you to move over and proceeds to reverse your car up a snowy hill just using the mirrors, that guy didn’t look at the reverse camera once 😂 lovely video! And yes sharing one big duvet does not make any sense at all. One less thing to fight about and if you happen to have a fight anyways you’re still warm and cozy sleeping on the couch ❤️
What a classy person! So polite to all kinds of people. Love all Simon's videos but absolute favs are when he went to Mexico with Bald and Harold. Super Funny! When I'm having a bad day I put those episodes on and it brightens my day right up. Love his expression "rough as toast" Cheers Simon, all the best in 2025.
Simon, I know you’ve travelled a lot, but I wanted to share the wet shoe hack I’ve always used. If you have wet shoes all you do is put plastic bags on your feet before you put your wet shoes on. It’s not something you wanna do for weeks on end, but it can get you out of a tight spot for a few days.
Can't stop laughing at your entry with the four wheel non four wheel drive 😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant the whole adventure... 9yrs and you've not frozen yet a 😂😂😂😂
Ford Kuga IS a 4 WD, so called Ford's *intelligent 4WD', why it did not kick in, I am a little surprised over.The Kuga he drove is registered first time in june 2023.
lol me too. I moved from San Diego to New Mexico. It was 24 degrees today. I was wearing a t shirt and a beach hoodie. + Levi’s with holes in them. Stupid beach girls. 😂
Taking the gun to the toilet 😂 Seeing that huskies area and snow, it was giving me John Carpenter 'The Thing' vibes 😂 Never a dull moment in your videos, Simon. Andy.
Simon, you are discovery of the year for me( I mean 2024 still). You have quite many good ideas in your pocket. Absolutely amazing job you are doing. And your personality it just made of gold. World needs more people like you. Continue doing what you are doing. Sky is the limit for you. Greetings from Norway 🎉
I’ve learned this episode Simone survival skills are very minimal. With that being said we need a Outdoor Boys x Simon Wilson survival video in the future 😂
Does anyone else get freaked out by the fact this guy will sleep BARE CHESTED in literally ANY bed ? I can’t wrap my head around it, that’s an absolute madness 😂😂😂😂
Single duvets on our bed is game changing. Can have own personal preference in tog, keep both sides snug on your body, can stick legs out either side when too hot, minimises husband or dog weighing it down and being left without… anyone who shares duvets still are insane! Went to two singles about five years ago and wouldn’t go back… add to it also much easier to change the beds 😀
your comment remembers me Dylan from Jaywick that Simon met in a video a few months ago. (title: UK's Most Deprived Town). what a guy and he was saying "shine on" to everyone he was meeting.
Simon makes me belive it's not really cold in the arctic circle, he's wearing a freaking jumper that doesn't even look warm enough for 18 degree Celsius winter😂😂 Then he's like it's cold, no Simon it can't be that cold with what you're wearing.
I keep coming back to drop my like and show support! I also keep coming back to tell you i really miss your long form content. I miss the challenges and the hitchhiking across a continent and such. I'd love to see you do one or two of those a year! Cheers Simon!
I also love cold places, don't get me wrong, a hot holiday is nice sometimes, but I much prefer the cold one's. I'm going to Svalbard in November which will be nice.
The level of English spoken by people in Norway and other parts of the Nordic and Baltic countries is crazy. Random people find it so easy to describe how to switch a car to 4x4 or how to dry ones shoes in the quickest way.
Awesome content Simon! I’ve been so sick in bed binging your content and it’s really been keeping my spirits up! You’re the best out there dude! Please never stop doing what you’re doing. You’re an absolute inspiration to so many people! I’m ready to get better, and go visit the Arctic now hahaha ❄️Love from New Jersey! ❤😊🙏🏼
When Simon went outside to go in the hot tube I didn’t see him check the door first. What if he would have locked himself out? With the keys to the ‘four wheel drive” in the cabin, Simon would have froze to death. Be careful my friend.
We're doing the same thing with duvets in Sweden. Much nicer to have your own and both can fit under one if you're feeling cozy anyway. It's much nicer than constantly having to share.
Simon is like a human golden retriever and i love it. His communication skills should be taught at schools and seminars.

Drives me nuts lol
"What a guy!"
Guessing he thought they would be barking all night or something.
Simon - I hope there are no huskies here. Owner - we have 35 huskies here. 😂 🐕
I had to pause the video because I was fucking dying, laughing. And he had to act excited about it.
😂😂😂😂 the irony
*Polar bear tries to eat Simon*
Simon: What a guy! Poor bloke was just a bit hungry, he needed a pack of crisps.
and lots of ketchup
Lmaooooo
happy days
He needed a pork chip Simon would definitely say that 😂😂😂
Well i heard polar bears do like Salmon
Why did I get swinger vibes from the boat BnB? 😂 especially when the random dude and the woman realised they had been at a party together 🙈
100%😂
right, me too 😁

"Do i need a jacket?"

Another great video from Simon. I love his "I'm not really prepared but I'll get on with it" attitude.
Simon: I'm in the Arctic Circle.
Also Simon: Do I need a jacket???
I love he approach to the 3rd one.. “I hope there’s no dogs here… “hello we have 35 huskies here”… 😀
I wonder how a pack of huskies would square up to a polar bear .
"I hope i dont see any polar bears...".
takes flare gun but leaves front door wide open ...
Ones snuggled up on his bed waiting.
Think I'd want a lock on the door. Imagine one coming as you having breakfast. (Smells the bacon).
that first bloke defo thought you wanted to crack on with his bird 🤣
haha had same thought deffo seeme like they had a few parties on that boat 🤣🤣
Not me scrolling back to find a bird... Fucking hell did you mean that girl with bird???
@@d.6593yes 😂
Definitely 3 in the bed and all that haha

I love the Polar regions in winter. There is something magic about the darkness and cold. What an awesome video.
The comment of your mom warms my heart.

Woman in the first air BnB is definitely a swinger 🤣🤣
I had same feeling dont know why 😂
yea the meeting with her neighbour in the laundry house was very post office christmas party.
I went to the comments for exact same reason, specially the look when she said "the party in July" ahha
she's cute also 😁
I wonder if she has an onlyfans
SOME top class reversing from ingred! Uphill in the snow
"Oh, just one last (tinly little) thing: Flare gun. Kbye."
Probably does that to every guest on purpose. 😁
That boat one was weird, such a tiny space to share with a stranger, the guy wasn't happy, thank God it was only one night 😅
Probably just looking to make a bit of extra money. I’m guessing they’re not super well off if they’re living on a small boat
Nah he was friendly, that’s just how people are out there lol. Europeans
He wasn't unhappy, he was honest. Something you'll find a lot in europe
She kept playing with her hair meaning she probably wanted a 3 some I think
@@sp3ckedout224that’s such a stupid comment. Respect women.
How is Simon NOT a major TV star ?!?! What an absolute legend & talking of British television, he would've made an incredible Blue Peter presenter ❤️
Reminds me a bit about Ian Wright. The "globe trekker" show guy that was on TV like 25-30 years ago
I bet the couple massively regretted Air BnB'ing to Simon after a night of his snoring 😂
The husband: “no more guests!”

Greetings from Norway 🎉
I’ve learned this episode Simone survival skills are very minimal. With that being said we need a Outdoor Boys x Simon Wilson survival video in the future 😂
The last air bnb!! Simon has met this guy, and hung out with him in a previous video!! How is no one talking about this??🤣🤣
Both that video and this video we filmed at the same time
I thought he looked familiar from that other video too. Was a barrel of laughs then too if I recall rightly
@ yes! Beers, snowmobiling, he saw that same compound. I was just shocked neither one of them recognized each other! Lol
This video must have been filmed before that one. He said its my first time in Svalbard in the taxi.
It seems this video was taken before they went on a snowmobile. There's no way they'd look like they just met when they had a good time before 😂
Starting my 2025 with Simon Wilson's video, what a year!
Have you been sleeping for a week
Simon, you inspired me to travel and expand my horizons and be more confident, thankyou for that, I’ll always appreciate it.
What's your favourite travel memory so far?
Does anyone else get freaked out by the fact this guy will sleep BARE CHESTED in literally ANY bed ? I can’t wrap my head around it, that’s an absolute madness 😂😂😂😂
lol….well Simon and I are alike in that way….😅
@ don’t you worry about cleanliness or bed bugs on your bare skin ? Scandalous stuff that haha
@ I try to stay at places where cleanliness is a priority, thinking about it, I might have on the boat! 🤔😂
11:17 these dudes have been driving in the snow since they were 13. No joke 😂
Said it before I'll say it again.. only youtuber i watched Every video.. you da man! Be youtuber
Appreciate it 🙏🏼
Same! When I started watching think he had about 70k subs… great to see how well he’s done.. top guy

I always look forward to these. Happy New Year, mate, and much love to you. Thank you again for all you do.
Happy New Year Simon and fellow viewers! Keep the camera rolling Simon absolutely love your vlogs, from loyal viewers here in Melbourne, Australia 😊
"I hope there's no dogs or huskies here"
One minute later
"There's a dog yard. 35 huskies"
😂😂😂
LMFAOOO I was thinking the same thing 🤣
10:40 idk why Simon panicking had me cracking up 😂😂
“Do u have a key to lock the door”
“No”
“Brilliant”
😂
Simon has so much charm! He is so interesting to watch even if the content is boring 😂 His presence alone is enough to be entertaining 😂
cringe
@06:35 "try sleeping on a train in Pakistan" and i quote "How can it be any worse?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Iv seen the video he made of that train. Its crazy. Ahaha

As an American I’m so jealous of people that live in Europe. Can go anywhere you want, visit countless number of countries.
You can visit countless number of states with their own cultures. Kind of a naive comment.
