I did not expect another springtime snow storm. But bad weather seem to be following me around. I head up across the mountain plateaus to get west, and have to suffer another convoy in a snow storm. The plow truck drivers are champs! I am able to get out of the convoy and hunker down and spend a few day winter camping in a snow storm on the mountain. I enjoy a ski trip (saved for extended version), filmed with my drone, and make coffee and cook hamburgers in a burrito. I also give rundown of how I spend my days in the van in winter, what I do on a normal day. Enjoy the video!
My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in the USA and Canada but with a diesel engine and manual transmission.

Surviving my 2nd Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping & Freezing Cold which includes:
This is my complete second winter of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. Starting in November I go through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from November 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 learn as I go from my second winter in the van.
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.

Are you ready to get out of your life?
I see you are enjoying your van like a little turtle enjoys his little house on his back.
Yep!
Snowy caravan adventures just feel like "Skyrim" in real life, minus the dragons!
Thank you!
Watching your journey through the blizzard was like a thrilling adventure from the warmth of my home. Your ability to find comfort in the midst of a snow storm is truly inspiring. The serene whiteout and the heavy snowfall you’ve captured are breathtaking. It’s a testament to the cozy resilience of van life in the face of freezing cold. Keep braving the elements and sharing these incredible experiences with us! ❄️🚐 #vanlife #WinterWonderland #AdventureSpirit
Thank you my friend!
I've been struggling with insomnia, but this video is a game-changer. I sleep so much better now!
I am glad to hear that
I love the wind and snow! Really all of it!!!
Cool, enjoy!
You could retrace your blizzard travels this summer. So we could see what it looks like green.
Hehe, yes I should maybe do that:-)
Love your videos. TY so much. Please, keep-up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
I feel as if i was right there. Incredible. Thank you for sharing. Blessings and be safe.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those are very tall plow sticks!!! So happy to see another SNOW video…it helps to cool me off in these miserable Florida temps of over 90F!!😩
Yes they are tall, and there are even taller ones other places. A lot of hot weather around now I understand:-)
Hallo mein Freund. Wie immer ein Sympathisches und Atemberaubendes Video. Danke dafür. Gruß von den Ostfriesischen Inseln.
Ach ja . Und wie immer sei gesagt: Hände weg von der Handbremse bei Frost . 😂😂😂. Spaß mein Freund.
Hey Max! Thank you!
Beautiful!! Thank you for the beyond spectacular view of the world!!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!
Such well put together videos..... very professional. I cant watch them without sound... I NEED the blizzard noise!!!! 😂❄❄⛄
Glad you like them!
cheers! You are life! and thank you very much beautiful video!
Thank you!
I truly enjoy your videos I love snow and miss it. I'm always so intrigued by your meal preps in a van. I have a kitchen and am not as creative. lol
Thank you so much!
This is so relaxing I mean I can imagine the coziness. Watching it is incredibly comforting however though I do not know you I worry watching minutes because it only takes a minute to hit an ice patch…I am sure you are an amazing driver and you are used to driving in this type of weather but I just hope that you remain safe. Thank you for such an amazing video
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for your kind comment!
It’s like another world! Beautiful video 😊
Thank you Andrea!
I love blizzards. Truly the cleanest possible weather. ❤
It really is!
Wow, i cannot believe the weather is still so bad . Good Luck to you. Stay safe .🙏
Thank you! You too!
Hi jarl awesome video thanks I live in Western Australia we never see any snow anywhere in our state so it’s especially exciting and entertaining it’s like we are all van camping with you thanks again for sharing your videos and your time take care catch you on the next one
Thank Wayne, actually doing another episode today
My usual cup of coffee my friend.Thanks!
Thank you so much Todd:-)
All those hours work on your computer in the van results in super nice, high quality videos!
Thank you Tom, I appreciate you saying that!
I look forward to Saturdays when I can tune in and see what adventures you are up to! Thanks Jarl!
Thank you so much Kevin!
beautiful another stormy video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the sound of the wind outside your van as you're working, cooking, and watching movies. Safe, snug, and super cozy!
Thanks Barb, it is very cozy indeed!
Can't tell you how it makes me feel to watch your uploads. It's a real getaway from the drudge of life. How do you not slip on those icy roads?
Thank you!!
Some weather your getting there,at least your van is nice and cozy ,😍😎
You got that right!
I know these times have challenges, but I would absolutely love to be in a snow storm, alone, and peaceful
It is my favorite!
Hahaha ! We meet you with uncovered arms among huge amounts of snow, in this immense whiteout. I saw on National Geographic TV the snow-trucks freeing the road of 2 meter until 12 meter (!) snow. What a job ! Very necessary. Temperatures have become milder, only minus 5, and in your van a pleasing heat of 22 degrees ! It seems to me the number of your cosy coloured lights is growing every week (20 ? 30 ?). And watching you preparing your wraps, burritos, pancakes, toasts, sandwiches.... aways makes me hungry. I have different eating-customs. But.... this is Belgium (and I don't eat pommes frites nor chocolate every day !). O.K. it's time for me to have supper. I presume you must be in southern and warm regions for the moment, no ? As always, Jarl, it's a pleasure for me to meet you ! And thanks for all the hours you spend making nice videos !
Thank you always Regine!
Always welcome Jarl ! Every week I look forward to a new video of yours. Hopely in the next future, you 'll send us a "hot" one, filmed under the sun of Spain 😂
Maybe:-)
Como anda que manera de caer nieve es hermoso y que frío que hermosa voluntad gracias x hacernos conocer esos hermosos lugares abrazo cuidese desde Mercedes uruguay😊
Thank you!
Pictures worth 1000 words.
Indeed!
Hi Jarl, thanks for this new video :)
Thanks for watching my friend!
Hello my Norwegian friend Jarl :-) As always, on the same wavelength... Winter is all around, snow and the eternal... It's as if you live on the icy satellite Europa in the depths of space... :-)
Indeed, I love snow!
A funny plow on the canal :-) The shovel is like a propeller, it spins the snow and throws it further :-) And their rear bridge (lazy) is completely frozen :-) In general, you can’t cross the Arctic without a convoy :-)
Sunny, summer day in the sunshine here in North west territories. 9:34 AM 25-May-2024. SATURDAY.
Sounds nice!
Soguk ve karlı havada insanin hayatta kalmaya çalışma videolari güzel oluyor.
Nice
Very cozy. Sleep best in a blizzard.
Good!
Now I know why I like summer lol. That was definitely a blizzard 🥶🌨! I definitely want to watch Shogun. I know it stars the actor who was manager of the Osaka hotel in John Wick Chapter 4. Stay warm and cozy!
Thank you!
Хорошое и шикарное видео. Респект.
Thank you Sergey!
I am watching this in my van in southern spain trying to stay cool in the shade 😂
Haha, I can only imagine, that must be very warm! Re you able to find shadow anywhere?
Incredible scenery 👏
Thanks my friend!
Φίλε μου απίθανο χαιρετησμους από ελλαδα🇬🇷❤️
Thank you so much!
Hi from Canada.Thanks for another video
Thanks for watching!
Un gusto verlo de nuevo que frío acá en Uruguay es otoño el aire helado no quisiera estar ahí y no tenemos nieve alguna peladita nomás y nuestra estufa prendida todo el día cuidese que pase lindo abrazo desde Mercedes uruguay😊
Thank you my friend!
Hope to be getting my Promaster this year. My adventures may not be as great as your's are but they will be good. I love Fall and Winter so I can't wait to see what adventures I go on. I hope my picture taking skills improve by then. Love the contrast you give us between the coziness of your van and the snow and cold. You capture both so well. Stay safe out there. Mary 👋👍
I hope you do too Mary! How much are you expecting to pay for a Promaster? I have no idea what the price is over there.
I'm not sure what I will end up paying. I will be looking to purchase a used Promaster 3500 Extended. I have 2 dogs who will be joining me. I'll be happy to let you know what it ends up costing me. I am going to purchase a used cargo van and convert it. This will end up being very interesting. LOL🤪
@@auntiem75 Cool, keep me posted, would love to hear all about it!
Will do.😁
Seriously! A Ripcurl teeshirt in Arctic Norway!!! Love it. As always, love your cooking. Basic, but creative! Where's the coffee???
Oh yes, I used to surf a lot, bought it at Valsurf:-)
Food Network better recognize, This is a real" Iron Chef", correction TRAVELING IRON CHEF ," Those Steak burritos looked AMAZING chef. Outstanding meal preparation and presentation
Side note: loving the new lights for the van
Thank you my friend:-)
Good man cleaning that pan like that. My Papa and me from South Georgia in the US say ya did good.
Haha, thank you send my regards!
Thanks for another video
Thanks for watching
Another great video Jarl!
Thanks again my friend!
Shogun is a great show. You probably weren’t around when the original was on TV.😎
1980, Richard Chamberlain. I was just a young 21 year old😬
Oh but I was, but too young to watch. I have read the books several times, in fact I have read all of James Clavells books.
Viewing from 313 motor city Detroit Michigan USA 🇺🇸 .
Cool, Thanks for watching!
That looks delicious.
It was:-)
You are a lucky man who knows how to enjoy life. Wish you the best in your journey
I appreciate that!
I like your videos.
Thanks!
Encore merci de nous faire partager ces superbes images.
My pleasure, Thanks for watching!
Your right the lights look cozy while you camp during the wild winds and snow love your adventures stay safe watching from Canada.♥♥♥
Hey, thanks for watching!
Ey up.
Always a thrill watching your epic adventures in such challanging but beautiful terrain. The van is looking very homely now with the new lights.
Have a great weekend my friend 👍🙂
Thank you my friend!
This is Life!
It is for sure!
Super nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
I did a great deal of traveling between 2015 & 2017 throughout the Northwest in a 1992 Ford E250 cargo van that had been insulated with Polyiso & was just right for lil ole MEeee. 5-8 times I remember pulling off the road & parking next to a restaurant or gas station because of an impending rain/wind storm. I'd wake up in the middle of the night & always, always, the parking lot was crammed full, no room for one more. Turn around crawl back into my cozy bed & know how envious all those people were that were basically trapped inside their SUV's, in a sitting position, unable to stretch out. I'd go back to sleep, comfy cozy warm regardless of how gusty windy or now hard it rained or hailed.
These thought returned when I saw others in car/suv's parked near your van during a storm.
Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
Ah that sounds nice, there where no people in the cars, I later learned that a few of them where rangers as they returned with snowmobiles, and the rest probably had some small cabins out on the plains.
This actually reminds me of a snowstorm I had in Syracuse !! On the highway in my Acura RDX it was crazy. I couldn’t see in front of me at all.
Good stuff:-)
Dentro da vã é quentinho e aconchegante...obrigada por compartilhar sua aventura❤❤❤
Thanks for always watching!
hi hello i from in iran love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ive been following you for a little while now. I really enjoy watching your videos, the footage is amazing. Btw the facial hair looks great.
Thank you so much!!
@@NorwegianXplorer You're welcome! Looking forward to your next video🙂
Coming in 10 minutes
@@NorwegianXplorer Awesome!!
65 inç Tv ekranında 4k yayın inanılmaz güzel❤
Ah! That is how it should be viewed my friend!
@@NorwegianXplorer I don't know the brand of this caravan. But I think he should sponsor you
I agree lol, they should!
Amazing and scary
Thanks!
Good vid. Still winter at end of March, expected. Time for a ride down to Spain. Next time. Take care, safe travels Jarl
Thanks Sam, I am in Spain now, soon I will take the van north again to the Arctic, cant wait to start, but still many videos left from the Arctic winter Tour
@@NorwegianXplorer doing what Andora, Man of Lamancha area? Had several friends ride all through Spain. Certainly some wonderful roads, moutain and valleys.
@@NorwegianXplorer Guitar lessons in Seville
I am actually not doing anything, just taking a little vacation
@@NorwegianXplorer you need one with all the editing. Make you head hurt take care
Hello from Vermont ❤
Welcome!!
We used to see snow like this in Great Britain once upon a time but all we seem to get now is rain .
Yeah it is getting warmer
Thanks for the trip! Snuggled up in my bed is a great place to share this with you,take care out there and keep up the beautiful photography-are you a professional or just having fun?
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! I do this full time, and I am having fun!
I just found you from my sofa in Australia. Good news for me. Its winter here, so quite cold. I really like your little balloon lights. Can you recall where you found them. I have a great urge to own some to brighten up my dreary cold home. I am looking forward to binging your other videos ❤🇦🇺
Awesome! Thank you and welcome, the lights are from all over the place, Scandinavian stores, Ikea etc
@NorwegianXplorer.... I will have to book a flight immediately as I really like them, ha ha ha
Lol
My new favorite YT channel! Can you put a link up to your insulated window coverings? Thanks.
Thank you, they are from Biltema, you can get better thermal insulation than this, so I would not really recommend it
What is the orange sauce you use in the burger steaks? It looks so good. It looks like a Secret Sauce or Thousand Island. Yum. 😋
It is home made chilli mayo, it should be pinkish but the lights inside the van make it look yellow
@@NorwegianXplorerlooks amazing!
@@genlovell4662 It is really good!
I keep colored lights on my wall and they survived two evacuations here.
Nice!
Now granted this is the first video of yours that I have ever seen although I will be watching more in the future. I will subscribe after the third video that I get to watch but my question is how do you stay in such great shape? I mean I’m sure it’s not all winter all the time and then you can go out and enjoy hiking or whatever but if I just sat and ate and relaxed I would be bigger than I am now LOL
Been getting out of shape this past year, so now looking forward to getting som long backpacking trips in through the summer
@@NorwegianXplorer you definitely are not out of shape.
Haha, thank you!
Hello Norway
Hello
Gotta love those ambient lights. Very cozy. Another great video, thanks! Which weather forecast app do you find most accurate? Because I see you looking at your phone regularly. Just wondering.....as ever: stay safe.
Thanks Marinka, I think YR is the most accurate, YR.no or the YR app.
Fab vids as always , great adventures .. a question for you , do you leave your heater on to keep the leisure battery warm and do you use a diesel heater ? I don’t hear the usual fuel pump click .. Thanks for sharing anyway great work 👍🏻
The battery has built in heat, but I always keep the heat on, at least at 5°c. I have a Truma Combi 5 runiing on propane, so no diesel heater
👍👍👍
Thanks!
🌹🌹🌹
THanks!
❤
Thanks!
So, what are your backpacking plans for the summer? Going to the states? Canada? Stay in Norway?
I am doing an Arctic Tour June through August and then I am heading to the US in the fall, should be a lot of stuff.
@@NorwegianXplorer
Too bad Joey took down his Myownfrontier channel.
👍🏴
Thanks Kevin!
👍
Thanks!
do you ever run into others come up to you needing help or wanting to come in? i see lots of cars i cant imagine its warm comfy & good in small spaces?
No there are no one in the cars, they are all out in the mountains somewhere
Selamlar
Hey!
❤😢❤😢
Why so sad?
Ah Shogun did you read that book from James Clavell ??
Yes I have read all his boos
Can I ask, is there a limit as to how many vehicles can join the convoy and do they run all night? So glad i don't get snow like that where I live. -5 degs, positively tropical🤣🤣
Usually it is 10 cars
Por favor traducción en español
It should have Spanish subtitles
You were there 3 days and all we got was 25 minutes?
So you want the full version as well then? It is around 44 minutes
@@NorwegianXplorer yes please
Will release it soon then:-)
If you cup your hands over your mouth as you talk, you would sound like Bane, from Batman. 👍
Hehe! Ok
Just don't drive too fast.
I never do
I love your videos and watch them constantly, but this latest one has a bunch of "clicking" going on in the audio. Are those emergency lights? Your turn signal? I don't know, but I really think it's very annoying so I've had to mute your audio.
It is the emergency blinkers that you have to use when you drive in a convoy, keep watching
Where is my comment? Are you ready to get out of van life?
Not sure I understand what you mean:-)
Do you ever shower ?
It happens, I will not film it though
😂😂😂😂

hi i am new to your channel but i more of a technical person and not into cooking. how do you heat water how many amps to keep your van warm . that solar panel would hardly charge your phone. whats your battery storage have you a toilet onboard or a shower. Sure the scenery is great and the conditions challenging but there is more to the adventure than cooking a meal on a gas stove. You know more than you let on Good luck phil goodman
