[@michaelbarnes7905]

You do need to insulate the pipe and gas regulator on your gas bottle. It's not the gas that is a problem, it's the moisture in the parts freezing that is a problem. Clear it, wrap it in a towel and cover it in plastic. We have to do this to our gas bottles on the boats....on the South Coast of England! You've got this. Like I said on FB, captain Scott had nothing like you do! I did laugh at the end....the guy in the background with a short sleeved shirt on !!! Take care.

[@tracycroll4325]

Just looks like Canada in winter. I drove by myself to meet my husband in northern Manitoba about 5 years ago. It’s fine. You’ve got this ! Thousands and thousands of ordinary people do this every day. You’re not out of your depth it’s just something you’ve not done before! Enjoy !!!

No gloves, no scarf! Half expected Liam to be wearing his flip flops :)

[@not_so_far_away_Adventure]

Like stated by many already the gas bottle needs to be inside if you travel in colder environment. However, if you need to use it get a plastic bag and fill it with warm water. Hot water from the tap in a gasstaion will do ok. Then place the bag on top of the gas regulator. That will melt the ice and allow you to use the stove. If you need gas for some longer time, place a jacket or blanket around the water bag and the gas bottle. A Zipper-bag with 3-5 l volume will be a good option. Same method can be used to defrost many things like frozen lock etc that will happen due to the mixed temperaturs.. This weather and road conditions are very average for this time of the year in the north.

[@imagseer]

Ziplock bag with styrofoam beads works too. Fix with zip ties

What an experience you both can remember for the rest of your life seeing the Arctic Circle and sharing the experience

[@ThoseHappyDays]

@GregoryBrooks-k7q for sure! It's been a hell of an adventure Already

[@HandyC]

I'm surprised you turn the engine off while on the side of the road in such an extreme environment whilst in the middle of nowhere. You are utterly screwed if it doesn't start... Would HIGHLY recommend you only turn it off when you stop for extended breaks, are in civilisation or overnight. I learnt this the hard way myself in my younger years.. Thankfully I had mates with me that could help, had I been on my own it would have been a long mountainous walk back to civilisation. You, out there, won't even have that option.. (I was only in Wales in winter)

[@OldLady-p9i]

Hi guys, just a quick message to say how much I'm enjoying the trip- especially today's episode travelling to get arctic circle. Soo exciting. Like Janine I need a lie down in a dark room after watching it! Very best wishes, Ros xx

Why do you wear hats and coats whilst driving, as you have nothing extra to put on when you get out. Surely the Ranger has a great heater.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

We are building up to it 🙌 we know more is to come

[@berjohansen]

@ Your equipped for it so shouldnt be a problem, just be sure to keep spare gas for heating on hand and if the forecast turns bad just find a sheltered spot to stay for a few days. Behind a grocerystore or gasstation is convenient. If your unsure about the forcast, ask some locals as local weather can differ from the forecast .. we live on an island just west of saltfjellet rigth above the polar circle😊 lapland should be less wind but way colder.

[@chantsmantrasandrelaxation5079]

We travelled in 1969-70 in a combi all over Europe ( including Sweden) - I was a child. No weather apps or radio warnings. Old fashioned chains wrapped around tires. Heating and cooking - old kerosene style. We had guns pointed at us. Saw cars go over the edge of ravines that we couldn't help. Had to huddle for warmth when the parents didn't know how to turn on the heat (first days). Had accidents and slide outs. Survived it all. I learnt to be adventurous. Be adventurous you two. You can survive this (probably). Enjoy the thrill of living.

I have been stranded 3 times, in -25°, with my old vehicles. Frozen all fingers and toes. I hate the cold...!!! So, I wonder what in hell are You doing up there ?? 😱😱😱 Pitch black the whole day, more snow than you can imagine AND minus degrees no people can stand for a long time. And I also thought, when I saw the gas bottle for the first time, hanging Outside of the vehicle - it is going to freeze sooner or later..!! It should be mounted inside AND with any type of thermo insulation wrapped around it. Well, foolish or not - Wish you good luck, and remember: BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY 🌺🌺🌺

[@rosyblue1]

Put an insulated cover over the external gas bottle. You should be able to fashion one from something you already have or can purchase easily. We’re really enjoying watching your adventure. Stay safe.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

We think the problem is where the pipes join onto the camper, it was all frozen there. Whether it was frozen on the regulator also I don't know

The high prices for food is same in northern Canada because it cost a lot to transport the items. Wishing you guys all the best as you continue your journey. Just a recommendation .. you might want to put chains on the tires. It will help you driving out of a big snowfall.

[@GaryWilson-qk7kp]

Insulate the bottle. Even just a box attached by any means should help. Wrap a wool blanket if necessary

Why have you NOT insulated the propane tank regulator?????

We were advised by Glaslow that we didn't need to

@ the apartment building had communal heating through radiators, which was turned on when temps went under 8C and off in the spring when it was over 8C! Our first night I turned off the heating in our bedroom and was told next morning that I had turned off all the heating on that side of the building! Opening a window was the only way to regulate it.

[@VictorCopeland]

Hi Liam, We did the same proposed route as you in 2023, but in reverse, Bournemouth to Stockholm crossing in to Finland, going through the flat wilderness, crossing the mountain range north of Tromso and dropping South on the E6 to Narvik. By the way "Lapland" is actually regarded as an insult and is the southern settlers name for the Sami peoples who herd raindeer across Norway, Finland and Russia. There is a Sami centre well worth a visit. The area makes the E6 look like the M25, in terms of remoteness, it was wonderful in May, but we still got snow even then. The lakes were frozen. The roads are hundreds of miles without settlement or turn off. It really is remote. The climb off the E6 into Finland is fairly steep but well paved. There is one decent settlement just on the other side of the pass, complete with raindeer roaming the streets. Personally, id continue up the E6 past Hammerfest (the most northerly city), past Alta famous for the Terpitze hidding in the nearby Fjords and on to Honnigvagen. This is accessed via a deep tunnel under the sea. The most northerly place you can drive to in Europe is the Nordcapp. This is a stunning drive and requires an escorted convoy by a snow plough. The destination is iconic and stunning. From there, the roads are better to come due south into Sweeden via a short crossing via Finland. This is the main route, well maintained for supplies. Whichever you decide, we will be tunning in on you're epic travels. Good luck and adventures! Victor

[@Chris_the_Muso]

It sounds like you hit ice. If it snows and starts to melt due to higher temperatures it turns to slush. When the temperature drops again it freezes again and turns into black ice. Depending on how bad it is, the only options are chains or studded tyres. I think plenty of us told you that outside LPG tank wouldn't work. If the liquid in the tank is already below freezing, it means it isn't going to get through the regulator before icing it up. I've had regulators and valves freeze up at seven or eight degrees above freezing after a few minutes, so you need to be quick. People running outside tanks in that kind of weather will be using heated regulators, which would have been an option for you. Oh, and when you stop to get out and take photographs or go to the toilet, don't turn the engine off. It's actually better to keep it running in those situations which is why I like diesels - they use almost no fuel at idle. If you look around when you get out you'll probably see that's what most people are doing except to refuel. This will be particularly important once you hit -20 C temperatures, which will chill the oil in the sump faster than you can spit.

Propane doesn’t freeze at -44° it’s still a liquid but it stops becoming a gas. It shouldn’t be causing you a problem at -7° I think the issue is water vapour in the regulator. Try a new regulator and a gas bottle sourced locally.

It might be that true, but the pipe was frozen to the outside of the camper too

We’ve been getting them up here too. They are blooming spectacular. Looked like fire. So gorgeous. And I am glad we are not the only people who haven’t seen the northern lights. We thought living up here we would see them but no!! My daughter sent me a spectacular picture from Essex a few months ago but we saw nothing. Very frustrating. Drive carefully Liam. Looking forward to next vlog. Stay safe x

This brought back memories I worked on a film called Wide Blue Yonder in Norway in 2010 and said to my boss did he want a tea or anything so he said yes ..one orange juice and one tea cost me £15! 😂 never forgotten that! Amazing place though.. glad I wasn’t in my 1971 Vaneroo as I don’t think he would have survived! Safe journey ❤❤
