Surviving Severe Triple Hurricane, Extreme Winter Van Life Storm Camping Blizzard & Snow #2

Surviving my 2nd Winter of Extreme Van Life in Hurricanes, Blizzard, Snow Storm & Camping in Freezing Temperatures. Driving my van 1,800 Miles or 2,900 km to the Arctic Oceans and Northern Cape. Triple Hurricane in this episode of the Arctic Documentary series.
Part 6 for my 2024 Arctic tour. 3 record breaking hurricanes surprised me and hit the arctic coast within one week as I was traveling in my van to the outlying islands. The hurricanes where the strongest that have ever been measured in the country and reached wind speeds of over 62 m/s, or 140mph. Red alerts where issued for all along the coast, and I ended up in the middle of it, not by my choice, but when ferries are involved things can get tricky. Here is my history of what I did to survive this inferno of 3 hurricanes in one week.
My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Hakkapaliitta 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.

I recently found your channel and I'm not sure how. I've never sought out this type of content. But I'm so happy that I did. The videography is top notch and the images you capture are absolutely breathtaking. My husband and I had planned to sell our home and hit the road once we retired. But, God had other plans and called him home in August 2022. Cancer sucks! We were together for 37 years and married for 31. I've been trying to navigate life without him and it's difficult. I still work, but I don't need to. I think I know why I found your channel. I think I see retirement coming sooner than I thought. Thank you for taking me along on your journey, which is now the beginning of my journey.

👋Hey there Norwegian Xplorer, This is another brilliant video created & shared. You're the video making star🌟! lol The weather's so often wild & wet but nonetheless, you deal with it all so positively & you make it all look so easy, yet it's not. I never tire of your videos & apart from seeing all of the jaw dropping scenery, I also enjoy watching you prepare your meals. You seem to enjoy what you do. Speaking of freezing/wild weather, I recall our 2 hour delay for our trains arrival in Bergen, as there'd been much ice abound on the tracks near Oslo & beyond & for safety reasons, we had to wait. Also, I love all of your music within your videos. The music really adds a special feel, energy, atmosphere & ambiance to your videos. Once again, tusen takk for sharing & here's wishing you well.

There is a jetty in Crescent City in Northern California that warns people of rogue waves. People have been swept out to sea by these waves. I'm glad your were able to shelter in place next to a large building further inland. Probably a good idea to go further north to avoid the next round of hurricanes.

Hi from 🇨🇦 Glad you are safe .Your videos are interesting and the scenery is awesome.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you very much!

[@leemartin2978]

Another collection of absolutely stunning images and footage often filmed in extremely testing conditions. I have to give a show of respect for your van, I don’t know if it’s been modified, other than you restricting the air flow to the radiator , so that it doesn’t freeze, but it appears to serve you incredibly well in the most challenging conditions. I recall in the eighties , FIAT was an acronym for Fix It Again Tomorrow, yet here it’s being used in conditions that would appear to challenge pretty much anything. Also the beautiful drone footage must have been taken in very cold conditions and the footage speaks for itself. The manufacturers must be thrilled with the films you’re creating with it, I hope they’re sponsoring you ?

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Hey Lee, no I am not sponsored by anyone, which gives me the freedom to say and do as I please. I get a lot of interest from brands, but usually I turn those offers down because it gets in the way of making these videos. I would however alway consider a sponsorship for the vehicles and gear I actually use.

Please keep us posted on the well-being on folks up there if you have time. PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FELLOW NORWEGINERS GOING THROUGH THIS. On another note, I loved seeing all the gorgeous winter beauty in this.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, this happens several times a year, although not as strong as this. To my knowledge nobody lost their business or homes, and although some vehicles where destroyed we have functioning insurance for that. It is not a tragedy and people are prepared for storms like these through the fall and winter, but thank you so much for the concern:-)

[@auntiem75]

You are very wise in the precautions you take. Bad weather is something that shouldn't be toyed with. It always astounds me that some people here in the U.S. don't evacuate when severe hurricanes hit. I remember back in 1980 a horrible accident that occurred on the Sunshine Highway bridge during bad weather. I think 35 people died. That was the bridge in Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida. It wasn't even a hurricane. My mother lived in Florida and that bridge scared the heck out of me in good weather. The deck the cars drove on was 200 feet (almost 61 meters) above the water. The weather was bad and a freighter hit a support pier. Part of the bridge collapsed and 35 people lost their lives. One of the vehicles on the bridge was a Greyhound travel bus and all the people on that bus lost their lives. Also people in private cars lost their lives. If I remember 1 man in a truck survived the fall into the bay. Please just continue to be your wise self. I love your channel and would hate for you to endanger yourself. Your photography and trips are just too wonderful. Continue to follow your gut instincts. Safe and wonderful travels to you. Kindest regards. Mary

What I love is the spectacular winter-beauty of the scenery, and the soft colours that the sun is laying on the snow.... And when you had gone out in the blizzard for filming, I thougth : O dear guy, quick ! go inside, put on your warm and dry scandinavian pull, prepare yourself a burning hot coffee and a hot dinner, and later on, before going to sleep, have a hot milk with honey, or a hot grog with rhum ! Take care in that freezing windy weather, when the blizzard is blowing into your face and into your body. Hopely your anoraks are resisting enough in order you don't risk a pneumonia.

I literally say “oh gosh” aaaaaall throughout ur videos. Whether it’s such beauty or such danger. I get the risk takers. Without risk there is no reward but yes sometimes ruination. I don’t believe ppl should take such risks when they have those that rely on them but to each their own. I myself am held back from risk which I crave. Until my parents pass on I am forced into a position of control. If they pass I will not b held back for no one will b dependent upon me for their care n I can give into “if I die then so b it” mentality. It would b a comfortable place for me coz I hold no fear of death. Watching this crazy intensity of this weather is why I pray often for u n the grey warrior. Most grateful for the strong buildings to block the winds which really shows how much they do protect. Regardless the weather the scenery is still stunning !!! Thank u for taking us with u !!! 👍🙏❤️‼️ TJ

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Yes, weather has indeed gotten worse with the warming, some people think that hurricanes means that it is not getting warmer🤡, I have a comment from one of those right around this comment somewhere😂

[@janetnewsome6891]

I was looking forward to your next chapter and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely extraordinary. I was so relieved to once again witness your good common sense in those unbelievable storms you were in. Those burgers you cooked looked fabulous. Once again, your video was first class. Can hardly wait for the next one. I hope it is lengthy.

Hey Janet, Thanks for the kind comments! I am still going into unknow territories lol! I am in Arctic Finland right now, around 60 miles from the Russian border:-)

[@johnbow72]

Jarl it seems like bad weather is your companion on this trip , I hope February is better for you . Stay safe my friend .😊😊

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks John, yes the weather is being really bad these days, but the weather is in general really bad in Norway, but the storms have gotten worse lately

[@chancevonfreund9145]

Those hamburgers looked fantastic! I hope the hail didn't damage your van? Cheers,🍻

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, no luckily we do not get that size hail here

[@Jackkamerun]

mind blowing woww

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks Jack!

[@Paxton-br9gt]

Wow. I felt all kinds of crazy emotions watching this one. Probably you did too, living it. I feel badly that things went off the rails like they did for you. Incredible. I could see the disappointment and concern, it was written all over your face. But you got out of harms way and kept yourself safe. 😇 Also, I have an idea for you and a suggestion. I’ll send it in another comment at some point soon : - )

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Nothing went of the rails, but it was mentally straining so I got fed up with the situation, I did not want to face those winds coming from the north west, so better run on that good day inbetween the hurricanes

[@Paxton-br9gt]

Oh goodness, I didn’t mean that you yourself went off the rails. It was the weather situation. Things got wildly crazy. And unexpectedly. You are an especially experienced adventurer facing new situations along the way and making your viewers happy by sharing all of your experiences through your exceptional videos : - )

@@Paxton-br9gt Thank you Paxon!

[@MJibco]

Great idea!

Hei Jarl og takk for 2 deler (video) fra Lofoten, du var nå ekstremt uheldig i valget av uken her nord (Lofoten), ferdes i bobil hele året her nord, og vær ja det har vi i godt monn ;) Fint du tar sikkerhet slik mht til uvær, men som du sikkert har sett (eks vis gjennom youtube), har Lofoten også ekstreme fine værforhold gjennom årets sesonger, du traff bare ekstremt godt der! Ønsker deg fine turer videre og stay safe!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Hei Jan Ivar, ja jeg har vært i Lofoten i fint vær også om sommeren. Sjelden man møter en så heftig storm som dette da. Er snart tilbake!

[@siljesuniverse]

The best vanlife videos on KZbin 🙌 Skjønner det må ha vært brutalt, og ikke minst slitsomt å være sårbar i en bil i slikt vær..🙈 Håper Lofoten er snillere med deg neste gang ❤💫

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Tusen takk Silje!

[@carolranes91]

You need protection for your eyes. Here in Virginia, USA I got a piece of sand in my eye from winds. Ripped it and now as I get older it causes problems. Also she you go out from behind the building there could be flying debris. We have that a lot here when we have hurricanes force winds. I think we have had up to 130 miles/hour winds during hurricanes but never 140 that is so dangerous. Stay safe.

[@TheManni727]

I'm from Germany, I'm retired in Thailand. Long Time not more see the snow. I'm looking forward to more films from this wonderful but cold area! Greetings to beautiful pictures from this extreme area!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you!

[@azclaimjumper]

I'm #240 to "Like" this video, Jarl. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for taking your time, effort, & equipment to share this weather with me. I finished reading "Cross Antarctica", written by Will Steger - the story of 6 men, 3 dog teams crossing 3,741 miles back in 1990 - the International Trans Antarctica Team. Fascinating story. I've started to re-read Aaron Linsdau's "Antarctic Tears "who skied across "unsupported/Solo" - once you begin reading you won't be able to put the book down until you read the very last page. Aaron resides in nearby Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Oh wow, sounds interesting. Jackson Hole, awesome place, I was up there a few years ago when I did the backpacking trip to the headwaters of the Yellowstone river. I really enjoy that area, not so much the Teton side as the Washakie and Shoshone side of the Snake River
