Surviving my 2nd Winter of Van Life. Arctic Border Road Trip after Blizzard Snow Storm, Solo Camping

#vanlife From the Arctic abyss of Norway into Finland to explore the Russian borderlands. Surviving my First Arctic Winter of Extreme Van Life. Alone in Hurricane, Blizzard, Snow Storm & Camping in Extreme Cold Freezing Temperatures. I found a border on Google Earth that I wanted to check out. I travel I travel towards the remote border in the foresty regions to get a feeling for the area, and also out of curiosity after which I continue to Arctic Sweden and back to Norway. I cook burritos and make pulled pork sandwiches, and find a new favourite beer, a Finnish alcohol-free IPA.
Come along as I continue my road trip through the remote arctic regions of Norway, Finland, Russia and Sweden. I film all my Travel Documentaries in 4K/HDR.

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, but with a diesel engine and manual transmission.

Surviving my 2nd Winter of Extreme Van Life, Hunkering down in 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.

You succeed in showing us what the arctic tundra is in winter, whiteness, naked birches, evergreen pinetrees, infinite landscapes, and lakes.... Then you take us inside your van, en we feel cosyness, and warmth. We meet a happy host, preparing a tasty wrap, we watch a quiet man looking tv under his warm scandinavian plaid.... Thanks to you, Jarl, we can visit beautiful Scandinavia with its northern lights.... and this from our armchair !

Your resilience and adaptability in the face of the Arctic's extreme conditions are truly inspiring. Watching you navigate through the winter van life, especially after such an intense blizzard and snowstorm, has been an eye-opening experience. The way you've embraced the solitude of solo camping and turned it into an opportunity for growth is remarkable. Looking forward to more of your adventures!

So white Finland .I love the music on the way to Inari. I would like to see inside the grocery store. We had a viewing of the northern lights here in Washington recently but not near the Olympic mountains where I live. I hope someday to see them personally. Your background music is a balm for the soul. I sigh as transported to your snowy world. Thanks for taking us all along. God bless, drive careful, be safe.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much Candy, I need to remember to film inside a grocery store at one point

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Norwegian Xplorer never disappoints. The road view at 59:42 is absolutely breathtaking. Funny, when you put the whole container of pulled pork in the pan, I thought to myself 'Is he really going to eat all that in one meal?' And then you said "That's a lot, I'll save some for later" There really is something so soothing watching the landscapes going by with the view from your front window. Jarl, a quick recipe idea for you(and everyone else), Mango quesadillas Slice fresh mango Some shredded pepper jack cheeese some fresh cilantro Put the three ingredients between two flour tortillas. Pan fry on high heat using peanut oil, fry a few minutes on both sides .Let drain off and cool down on paper towels. Trust me, they are incredibly delicious and very easy to make 😋 👌

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks my friend, there was a lot more in that container than what it looked like lol, I had 3 meals from that pile lol

The skies and moon were stunning….. and of course being able to see and capture the Northern lights is very mystical and soothing. Stay safe my friend! Entering Sweden was awesome looking.💫✨✌️❤️

Another beautiful adventure Jarl ! I don't know how your van stays so shiny and clean looking with all the miles you've been driving. Mine doesn't ever look like that except for the day I wash it. After 2 days it's dirty again! Lol. Such gorgeous scenery and love watching you cook! So relaxing. Have fun and stay safe ❤

[@NorwegianXplorer]

It is quite salty at this point, but whenever there is a massive snow storm it gets cleaned and shiny, like polish

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

🌲❄Hey there Norwegian Xplorer, Wow! As always, another wee masterpiece created & shared. I love the Arctic conditions, the wide open spaces & seeing natures magic & almost everything blanketed in icing sugar like snow, is just wonderful & beautiful. A relaxing & serene environment when calm, but can quickly turn inhospitable @ the flick of a switch! Nonetheless, when this happens, you always appear to handle it like the true pro that you are! I've visited Russia before, but I've never visited Finland, although I will visit some day soon. In reference to groceries, we so enjoyed shopping weekly across Stockholm, Oslo & Bergen. Much fun & I saw many things & tried many treats that I don't see where I live, albeit in our international food aisle, we do have quite a good selection of Scandinavian foods & snacks. Tusen takk for sharing & here's wishing you well. Peace✌

Yes I will return to Lofoten as I continue this trip, it was very warm when I got back there, so nearly spring time actually. Are you driving through Sweden to get up to Lofoten or are you taking the ferry to Norway?

@@NorwegianXplorer Like real campers as we are, we love traveling with the camper and we will drive all the way through Sweden and we are not gonna take the ferry. We will enter Lofoten via Kiruna, Abisko and Narvik and do some hiking up there. And of course experience Midsummer Night! We do avoid crowded tourist places, although this is not always possible.

Beautiful fantastic scenery. When you approached the Russian border I felt a strange sensation that you were in peace but just down the road there is a country at war. I think myself I would not attempt to cross that border that was a very strange feeling I wonder if it felt that way to you. Some sad news my7 side unfortunately contracted sepsis and that destroyed my kidneys so I have to dialise 3 times a week unfortunately that means that my desire to go see the northern lights for myself is virtually impossible/ Thank God I have someonee like urself to give me a guided tour on youtube. As ever thank you for sharing your travles with us.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I am so sorry to hear that Simon, wish you all the best on your healing and dialisis! Yes it felt very strange to approach that border. There is really no way you can cross unless you have a visa, but it is sad what mankind does to peace and friendship. I bet there is so much amazing nature and history to explore on the other side.
