What is your go to food for lunch stops? Eggs and bacon is a favourite, but wouldn't mind an alternative. 😂

[@jdenmark1287]

Make some Pho 🍲, keep ingredients separate, heat up the broth and pour over noodles and ingredients. Or keep a container of chicken in a marinade on bamboo skewers in your cooler, get a little gas or wood hibachi and grill, serve on a bed of shredded cabbage and carrots with peanut sauce. Super quick and delicious.

[@LandRoverDrive]

@@jdenmark1287 Oooh, not bad, need to write it all up and do some food prepping for the next trip as well! :) Thanks for great suggestions. 👌 Skewers ready to go is super smart, can do so many different options as well. 👍

[@photosportive]

for lunch I usually keep it simple without cooking. I like wraps (or tunnbröd when in Sweden) with ham/cheese/salad

[@LandRoverDrive]

@@photosportive PolarBread is a go-to for us as well, tunnbrød, knekkebrød, would be a nice substitute as well. I'm not a salad guy, sadly, but I think I should check out make some vegetables mikses and cheese. Maybe some ham or real salami or red wine sausages(salted/smoked). Boiled eggs maybe. Noticing I'm getting hungry writing this now. 😂

[@josephgittos3787]

From Uk so mainly bacon, egg , sausages and beans , if not a simple sandwich with lots of meats

[@ВиталийРыжков-п1щ]

Greetings from Russia! You have an interesting combination of cars, I have a red Discovery 3 and a new Discovery sport. It's very nice to watch such a beautiful video. I wish you good luck. 🤝

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hello back from Norway 👋 And thank you for the nice compliment about the video. 😊 D3 and D-sport is both nice and it turned out really nice with them both being red, a nice contrast to the surroundings. Thank you and best wishes to you! 👍 Simon

[@WizzardPrang]

Spectacular doesn't begin to cover it. Thank you so much for all the filming and editing and sharing this with us. 👍

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you so much! 👍😊 I thankful that I can share these trips with you, gives the videos more purpose and a lot more joy for my part as well. 😊 Best, Simon

[@josephgittos3787]

Thanks again for sharing your overlanding esp with those views wow . Drones have been the best thing for you guys on KZbin, gives the film another level and gives discovery channel a good run for its money .

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thanks Joseph, really appreciate it. 😊 The drone is a good tool and used wisely it can really help tell the story and give some good overview of the places we are exploring in. 🏔️🚗 If the Discovery Channel, or National Geographic calls, I'm on the plane. 😂 For now KZbin and Norway keeps me very happy as I got subscribers like you watching. 🤙😊 Ep3 is just released and is the final episode in this Jotunheim Series. Best, Simon

[@C11AYG]

its like watching a documentary very well put together. great job.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you, that's a great complement. 😊😊 I love a good documentary my self. I try to put in some info to make the videos a bit more interesting, not only cars and views. 😅

[@WizzardPrang]

5:05 - "You can go fast, I can go anywhere". 😂

[@LandRoverDrive]

Definitely, the rest of the Porsche club came past us on the second stop, just before were all the cars were parked. You can just see them in the drone shot @ 11:06 😊

[@tunes4life]

Exactly Simon, time is to be appreciated, specially when you can share it with a friend. (Eric in this case) Enjoy the journey. You're lucky to have a job that allows you to go on those fantastic trips! Thank you so much mate. Keep up.the fantastic content. This is all about making unique memories...

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you and I will keep up the videos, I don't think I could stop if I wanted to. 😅 Erik is an amazing friend and the best trip mate. I wouldn't go on all of this trips alone as the people makes the trips for me. Glad you are enjoying the videos, subscribers like you keep me motivated to make more good videos. 👍

[@simon-mouse8739]

Hi Simon & Eric, I really enjoyed this video. Such amazing scenery it even took my breath away. Even when I 'overland' or just camp I always take big pans and also a big wok too. Looks like you will be asking Santa for new pans too😊safe travels my friend.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you Simon and glad you enjoyed it. 😊 I have some necessary upgrades that need to be done before my next trip if I’m to make big pot courses. 😊😊 I usually film so others make the food, who are often better and like it more, so I’ve kept my setup pretty lean. 😊 A new pan and a camp oven is next on the list.

[@photosportive]

Hi Simon, nice video and editing. Really enjoyed seeing your smiles when you discovered some of the landscapes / views. This reminded me of what felt when I saw some of these landscapes and views 2 or 3 years ago. The problem is that is makes me want to go back 🙂 Frédéric

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you Frédéric! 😊 I couldn’t believe how lucky we were and the contrast with the snow just made everything pop. It’s hard to get it on film but since you’ve been you can really relate. 😊 If you can, then plan another trip, I need to go back to this place and explore all the valleys and mountains around the route we took. There’s too much to see for just some days, need to spend a week down in that area I think to get the full experience.

[@jesperb5036]

Did parts of this trip in late September, Sognefjellet was really nice and actually set camp in Leirdalen with my Amarok and rooftop tent. Love your country of endless breathtaking views! Will be back soon. And cheers from Stockholm, Sweden. Keep up the good work with the videos, really enjoy them 👍

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hey Jesper and thank you so much! 😊 Leirdalen was a magical place and a bit later in the summer would have been really great I think, and September with the fall colors must have been super. 👌 A “little” drive from Stockholm is definitely worth it. 😊 6 hours to the start of Jotunheim maybe? I would love to do more traveling in Sweden, I grew up camping with my parents every summer so I feel at home camping there. 😊 Glad you are enjoying the videos, more to come, and hopefully a trip to Sweden will be one of them. 😊

[@jesperb5036]

⁠@@LandRoverDrive really pretty but a bit cold, good night sleep with the dieselheater on tho 👌 More like 9 hour’s im afraid, but so worth it! You are more than welcome 👍 Sounds awsome, next time i will have to drive Galdhöpiggen aswell. Looked fantastic!

[@LandRoverDrive]

@jesperb5036 Yeah, Galdhøpiggen road is worth it for sure, if you can get the weather on your side.

[@nihallee]

Great trip and amazing views!! Erik seems like a cool overlanding buddy and doing good camera work as well! You should have him more often. I'm just wondering when he will realize he has the wrong discovery and swap it for a Disco3 or Disco4 ?!? ;o) Cheers from Canada guys!

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hey Nick and thank you! 😊 Erik is the best, and we work as one when we go overlanding and filming. It's been me and him since the beginning. He got me into Land Rovers and I got him into filming and this KZbin thing. 😊 If you go back on the channel you can see the old videos and see how it has evolved to this one. I recommend the the winter videos, so much fun. Erik used to live where I live, but he moved back to his home town so we don't see each other as often but we try to get at least two trips a year. When it comes to the Discovery, he initially bought it as a family car, and has had it for a long time, with other Land Rovers, project cars on the side. Also here if you take a look at the channel, there has been 2 P38s, 1 L322, 1 Discovery One, 1 Defender TD5 110 and of course the RRC, which he still has. 👌 So I don't think it will be changed out, but I would love to see he lifting it 2" and maybe modifying it a bit. 😉 Thanks for watching and best wishes from Norway. Simon

18:26 Dyrhaugsryggen. I camped on the foot of the hill for three days back in 06. Hurrungane (mountain-area in Jotunheimen)s a beautiful and great place fro skiing. But deadly, almost every year fatalities happen.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Sounds like a great three days! I would love to go back and go skiing there my self one time. But deadly I can belive, the peaks looks amazing from a far but from the pictures I've seen they look treacherous up close. With so many skiiers up in the mountains too I bet it is busy season for the Red Cross. We met one with a broken foot at our stop after the lunch stop. I remember it clearly as he said he did a line to impress some girls, total fail. 😂😂

[@gertguhl8429]

wonderful clip! 🎉 Thank you for sharing. it inspires me for a trip to Norway. I am an overlander from Switzerland and travel with a red Range Rover Sport P550e with a iKamper Skycamp. It would fit perfectly to your rigs😂😂!

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you so much! 😊 And I would love to have an Ikamper on my roof but can’t justify the cost, yet. 😊 A Range Rover sport is on my want list of Range Rovers, and in red it’s looks so beautiful and tough at the same time. 👌👌 You will never regret a trip to Norway, even though you are from Switzerland and have some nice mountains views of your own. 😊 The RRS would be perfect for a Overlanding in Norway trip. 👌

[@sasharom1979]

Love ur vids, love ur LRDs - red is the rare color. "Boyz band" - nice one :-) Good luck!

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hehe, Overland Band. 🤙 Thank you and I'm glad you like the videos! 😊 Much more to come. And I do agree with the Red cars, they tend to "pop" and is a nice contrast to the colors in nature in Norway. 🏔️❄️🚗 Best, Simon

[@richardguse3410]

Simply stunning views and I'm envious! From our home in Ontario, Canada mountains like that are 3 times zones away in Alberta.

[@LandRoverDrive]

We were blown away and so happy we went for the western route. 😊 That’s the thing about Norway, you get everything in such close proximity that you can experience a drive from fjords to mountain tops in just a day. 😊 It’s maybe too much as you see at the end, we can’t really remember all the places we had been. But that’s the good thing about making these videos, makes it all come back and it is a memory preserved. 😊 3 times out of zones, how long is a time zone in km? I have never thought about that. I Maybe should know that. 😅

[@TheDefender1968]

Hello. Nice trip. You have to paint the Rock Sliders black 😁. A hug from Portugal

[@LandRoverDrive]

I totally agree, I even got the Raptor paint to do so, but haven’t gotten around to it. I need to pull them off and do some welding on the car so I will fix it then. 😉 Goal is only black and red in the end. 👌👌

[@hidingin]

why didn't you take the walk to galdhøpiggen?

[@LandRoverDrive]

I don’t think any of us was in the shape to make the trip, maybe up, but not back down again. 😊 And I’m later years they recommend both a guide and to be in a rope when crossing the glacier. Maybe later, but I like peaks where there is little to no people, alone in nature. 👌

[@flos.6752]

Can you tell me which wheel/tyre combination you are running on the Disco 3? Greetings from Germany

[@LandRoverDrive]

Good morning from Norway 🇳🇴 I’m running on 265/65R17, on original LR rims and Cooper ST Maxx tires. I like the combination of smaller rims and more tire. On later models, and the V8’s, the brakes are bigger and the 17” rims won’t fit. Best, Simon

[@flos.6752]

@@LandRoverDrive Thank you for your quick reply. Are these original Landrover rims or accessories? We are currently running 20 inch wheel/tyre combination and are considering changing to the same size as you.

[@LandRoverDrive]

They are original rims yes. Which model year do you drive?

[@flos.6752]

@@LandRoverDrive I also drive a Disco 3 from 2007

[@LandRoverDrive]

@ Nice, if you haven’t upgraded your brakes it’s the original 17” should fit. 😊 If you can afford it the TuffAnt 18” is also nice. 👌

[@michaelwittmann2644]

Epic views, though the older Discovery is the better-looking car, IMO.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thanks! The D3 is a looker. 😊 I Love the classic lines that it has inherited from the Range Rover Classic it self. 👌 Makes me happy every time I see it. Best, Simon

[@josteinatlejrgensen6962]

Is this taken in June ?

[@LandRoverDrive]

Trip was in late May, 19-21st of May. 😊

[@jamesray3920]

It is always fun and adventurous, going overlanding exploring without risk . Here in the US, we have dangerous wildlife like bears , wolves, and mountain lions that are still in the outback along with bad people. What do you have for protection myself? I carry a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, and most will tell the ranger that you are camping in the area and carrying a beacon tracker in case you get hurt , so you can call a sos , every year hikers , back packers go missing because they are lost and Don't carry enough water & food & clothing for the changing weather, safety is usually last on the mind, I also carry weather proof Matches , emergency kit , and a ham radio and a satellite phone , if you have never heard of the KZbin called I shouldn't be alive, watch a few real stories reenactment of people stories this might save your life when things go wrong anything can happen to anyone at anytime it's not what you know it's what you don't know always have a plan B 😊 Norway looks beautiful, peaceful and cold I live in texas and fall my favorite time of year and I like fall , winter camping

[@LandRoverDrive]

Yeah, risk free, or as risk free as we let it be, Ref. part one and the scary road. 😅 We have Bears and Wolves here in Norway as well, but you find them longer east against the Swedish border. Also we got brown bears which isn't to fond of people. Here you are lucky if see one. :) People in the mountain are usually nice people, you have to go to the center of bigger towns to find trouble. We always have a plan, gear and food to last through an eventual storm or unexpected things. I have been into outdoors since I was little and love to have things in order so I don't worry about us getting into any trouble. We don't carry any weapons, no need, I only use those for hunting. 😊 I've seen some videos from Texas and it would be cool to go there for a trip. Not sure how the camping is there or the rules around free camping?

[@Christian76S]

110kr. that's somewhat around EUR10. Compare this to the money you spent on Diesel. Back in the days when we were in Norway we made a huge mistake, just because of some EUR10-20 I (!) did not want to spend, not visitig the stave church in Urnes. HUUUGE mistake that still regret.

[@LandRoverDrive]

We don't talk about the money we spend on Diesel in Norway, just makes for a bad day. 😂 We drove the toll-road, and paid for my car, if that wasn't clear? And it was fun to be in the same car, if only for a short time. :) We won't not do something because of 110kr, but from experience we have seen more closed tollroads, 500-1000m after we have paid, than open tollroads during spring time. 😉 Best, Simon

[@Christian76S]

@@LandRoverDrive Sure clear Erik hopped into your LR3. I was just referencing my mistake cause it was based on supposedly savings the same height. No offense mate 🙂

[@LandRoverDrive]

Non taken, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. 😉😊 Just like to be clear. 👍 And I agree fully, regret is the worst.

[@Christian76S]

@@LandRoverDrive And the EPB fault, did you check the codes? I bet EPB switch electric failure 🙂

[@LandRoverDrive]

@@Christian76S You noticed that, cool. I flexed the car and it pulled the wire to far. The issue was me not servicing the brake shoes, they need to be tighten/adjusted every year and I haven't done it before this trip. But fixed it afterwards. 👍

[@jdenmark1287]

I think you have a winning combination with your footage, music and editing style. Just got to get you more exposure on KZbin. Try reaching out to Magnus Midtbø to see if he will do a collaboration with you in which you take him off roading and he gets you to try something athletic. Or take him to a wild place to climb . 🧗

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you! 😊 It would be fun to meet Magnus, seems like a really nice guy, not sure overlanding is his thing though. 😊 Could be a camp and outdoor climb type of thing, like Alex Honnold does at El Capitan. I would need some months to train first, wouldn’t get 2 meters of the ground at the state I’m in now. 😅😅 I’m glad you liked the video, it’s not perfect, but it’s getting better and better for each one I put out. 👍 Best, Simon
