Surviving Hurricane, 39ft MONSTER WAVES, Cozy Van Life Camping in Extreme Weather - Heavy Rain Storm

MONSTER WAVES, Hurricane "Pia" & Massive Storm on the Coast - Cozy Van Life Camping in Extreme Weather - Hunkering down & sheltering from Heavy Rain - 12m/39ft Waves. One of the most intense storms I have ever witnessed on the Atlantic Coast/North Sea. Waves where 12m or 39ft, crashing in from the exposed open ocean. I also spend 2 days riding out and enjoying another magnificent and impressive storm in the fall of 2023 while camping in my van on the coast.
My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in the USA and Canada.

Surviving my first Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping & Freezing Cold which includes:
This is my complete first winter of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. Starting in January I go through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from January 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 learned from my first 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.

Wish I'd thought to say something about the "birds" in this video

[@NorwegianXplorer]

@@azclaimjumper Lol, yeah they are a sturdy lot

[@mjlaramore]

They could use your condolences as well.

[@deeuson69]

Absolutely love your channel. Watch your videos over and over. Helps me wind down at night. Beautiful landscapes and scenes. Places I could only dream of going, let alone being able to experience the thrills that you share with everyone ❤.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, thank you, and Thanks for being a member of the channel🙏

[@wdbethard]

So far, watching his video's, I've learned that it takes one heck of a lot of Pan Pizza to keep a Norwegian Explorer going!

Lol, you might say that!!

[@jeanprice2514]

Wow!! The awesome power of mother nature. That must have been so intimidating to watch firsthand. You live in such a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much!

What an adrenaline-packed adventure! Facing Hurricane 'Pia' with those 12m waves is both thrilling and nerve-wracking. Your van life resilience in extreme weather is unmatched! 🌊🚐 #NorwegianExplorer #StormChaser

It looks like a safe place but you never know with the ocean. Way better to be SAFE. You can always go back to the first place when it’s safer. My goodness it’s a lively ocean storm. Love it.

[@99959bill]

I lived in a Chevy van, 1976,,, but you could not stand up in them like todays vans that are so cool,,,, you have a nice camper van there,,,, makes me want to buy another one - and I might !!!! In 1976 I was 19 and it did not bother us a bit - young strong and full of energy !!!! Loved it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Candy, happy new year!

[@candylee4684]

@NorwegianXplorer HI, it's warm here by lake Cushman, almost 50 degrees. You would not like it. It is very wet and foggy and dark. The Olympic mountain that I look at has just a little snow. It's elevation around 7thousand feet. The rivers are high and we have had some flooding. You would probably want to camp on rivers edge. Ha ha.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Lol, I have been in the Cascades and got some wet weather up there by Glacier peak as well:-)

Thanks Paxton! Merry Christmas!

[@juditate111]

Jarl, you outdid yourself with this video. Amazing footage of both storms (two for the price of one). I have to say I was very impressed with the sturdy seawalls they construct in this part of the world. Thanks for the great storms - you never disappoint.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks Judi, the sea walls are very sturdy here because of the extreme weather, that being said this is also the strongest winds that have been measured in 7 years I think. Merry Christmas!

[@geraldharkness8830]

what a terrifying yet majestic storm that was! thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

My pleasure! Merry Christmas!

[@carmenrivera5904]

wave after wave yup 👍 that's what oceans are about

[@Craig-jw9ko]

Jarl...just a thought that came to me while looking out your van windows...you should definitely apply some "Rain-X" window solution to your window. It will repel any water, rain, fog, or steam from your windows....better viewing...better recording...better quality videos! Its a win win...Merry Christmas my brother...God bless and be safe!

👋Hey there Norwegian Xplorer, Another brilliant video shared. Those big waves are just awe inspiring & incredible to witness! Nature gifts us with the best moments for sure & you so often capture, these thrilling & special moments for your viewers. Tsunamis, avalanches & earthquakes, to name but a very few of natures most powerful & merciless moments, are very scary, especially if some people are unfortunate enough, to be in the direct line of fire. As always, your cinematography skills are A1 my friend! Tusen takk for sharing & here's wishing you well. Peace✌

Man what an opportunity to surf the Norway pipeline. Wow! Great footage. When you can't see the sky for the waves you know they are too high to mess with. Jarl you did a great job capturing this. The shots were spectacular. Rock and Roll. I hope no one was injured. Think about how relieved the mariners were in the first segment to make into a protected area. Get your own rail. Merry Christmas, (memory cards, batteries and Hilleberg) and a Happy New Year. Safe travels.
