Surviving a Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard & Snow Storm Camping, 4 Days Stranded on an Island

Surviving my First Arctic Winter of Extreme Van Life. Solo in Hurricane, Blizzard, Snow Storm & Camping in Extreme Cold Freezing Temperatures. After having reached the end of the Frozen worlds, I end up getting trapped in blizzards, snow storms and avalanches for 4 days at the end of the world. This was the most annoying beast of a storm I have ever experienced in my van, it was just wearing me down. Spectacular sights though. I cook some burrito burgers and have a lot of coffee of course. The arctic ocean is stunning in all its might and natural power!

My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Hakkapalitta studless Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in America - USA and Canada.

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.

Yes, a rocking van in storm would be a dream experience for many rather than an annoyance. But thanx for sharing your adventure.

[@DaisyFMae0918]

We were in Alta and Tromso in February and I realized that no photo can really do the fjords justice. I was awestruck. Norway is the most beautiful place we have visited to date. Retired in 2022 after 40 years behind a desk and loving every second of exploring as many places as we can while our health is good. Thanks for the videos. Cannot wait to return.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

It is really spectacular, my Tour is not over, but I shall be back next winter

[@jerrypolverino6025]

I had just filled my Dodge Cummins Diesel truck, three propane cylinders, and packed my camper with food in the warm valley when a massive blizzard hit us and I got stuck in the cold high Rockies only 40 miles later. We were there four days. To save propane I did not run the generator in my camper that runs on propane and let the diesel engine in my truck idle for electricity, which uses a very low amount of fuel per hour. I had about 38 gallons of diesel fuel when we got stuck. The truck uses about 1/2 gal per hour idling. I shut the truck down at night. We only used propane for heat, the refrigerator and cooking, so a little went a long way. Only the refrigerator ran at night on battery and propane. We had two cell phones that had a signal and a CB Radio that worked well. We were warm, comfortable and safe, but it was nice when the Sun came out and the snow plows showed up. I calculated we could have stayed for two to four more days without scrimping.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

[@64TMS]

So sorry that you have started to feel annoyed at the van rocking. We will never get bored or bothered by these. We just went through some big winds that actually shook the windows and put a strain on the walls. Great stuff ! Being rocked or shook to sleep is just like a sleeping pill. I'm always disappointed when I wake up and realize I have missed all the commotion. I guess I must be a rare bird. When I hear that Luke couldn't sleep because of the rain or wind flapping the tent walls, I'm thinking, "what a wuss"! You go out camping to be close to nature and when nature happens, he's bothered by it and can't sleep. ???!!! So glad you haven't reached that level of being bothered by nature. Jarl, I still consider you my favorite KZbinr who speaks during your videos. There's several great people who deliver a great outdoors experience but are silent and don't talk. It's nice to listen to nature doing the talking, but I'll end up with many, many questions that would be answered if they would only "speak up"". Thanks Jarl. You get to be annoyed, it's your program. You still give us some of the best videos of blizzards and hurricanes. I've been in both, many, many times and have never gotten annoyed yet. Since I am now an invalid, I doubt that I'll ever get there. I got out when the going was still good (wonderful).

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Hey Thomas, thanks for your long and thoughtful comment! I will never be bothered with nature, it is really the sound and behaviour of the van, and my placement of the van that made it annoying:-)

[@alaskakv]

I like the numerous captions at the beginning of this video. Hamburger/burrito trick - excellent idea. 10:37 - your headlights do an excellent job of illuminating the road ahead at night. 14:20; Good that you topped off your van with diesel fuel. or gas - whatever. Prior to & during any storm, I'm sure you are well aware of fuel levels, propane, electricity, & gasoline/diesel fuel. I know I'd be preoccupied by checking fuel levels repeatedly. Good ole Truma Combi, keeping water HOT. Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
