Recovery Needed! Surviving another Winter of Extreme Van Life in Freezing Temperatures - Blizzard, Snow Storm, Cozy Camping & Amazing Cold Beauty.
Things dont go as planned. I slide off the road and need rescue! Stuck in the ditch in a snow storm.
I started my 2024 Arctic tour on January 7th. As I am heading towards the Arctic, I help an old man recovering his vehicle from a Roadway departure snow crash! Then I end up with my own Roadway departure that I can not get out of.
I am gonna spend my entire winter on this adventure and this video is from the first 4 days in extreme winter beauty. Living my best life in the van in winter. Also flying my DJI mini 4 pro drone a lot in this video.
Part 2 of many.
#vanlife #wintervanlife
My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in the USA and Canada.

Check out this other winter van life video in the series: • Surviving my first Win...
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.

As a city dweller, we hate snow, ice and all things winter. Owning a home, one, shovels and snow blows until you can't stand the cold any longer. Ice builds up on the house, downspouts and driveway, just making the trip out of the neighborhood can be dangerous. Then we watch your videos. How beautiful and serene the snow looks and is. Then you went off the road , We are so glad that you are ok. We enjoy the drone videos and pictures, showing us things we would not normally get to see. Thank you

those drones r a photographic wonder !!!!! beautiful !!! the sky looks like liquid fire !!!!! glad u was there to help the other van folk/s !!! good thing the big trucks came to help..... good souls !!!!!!!!! the poor guy really had no choice if he didnt want to hit the gate !!😮. bummer how once u got off the asphalt that was the end of it !!!😢. Matts off road 😅😂 that b the farthest he ever went 4 a job 😂😂!!!!. u kill me !!!! ive often wondered if u should get a small winch... portable ... 4 such a thing cuz u wasnt dug in,,, just off the worn track. withe a strap tothe poles across the road it would have been easy to get ur self back on. i'm sooo glad there was NO suspension damage or any other type !!!!!!!! that was a quick job. to be honesti often have worrieda little in the drive scenes bcuz i know soo well how fast things can go wrong on those kind of roads !!! so my friend i ask u do they have RV trailers towed by trucks like here in america ???? the roads AND the weather dont SEEM proper for it but it could b just how it looks through the camera lens 😊. glad ur ok !! ur 1st time so its like a right of passage 😂. Well next time mr. speedy will just have 2 go AROUND U.... and maybe learn a lesson of his own ??😮. well another great episode is ' in the can ' ( as they used to say in hollywood b4 the digital age ) ATB AMIGO !!!!!

Thank you Tracy, there is always something more one can bring to get out of situations, but I think my van is filled up now. The out of pocket to get towed is only 45$ through the insurance company, with no penalties, so it is really good to have a proper tow truck come along and help you out. Matt should come though, the furthest he has been is around Alberquerque, and that is only a 10 hour drive for him. This would have taken him a week each way at least😝

Glad there was lots of people stopping to check. Glad you got towed out without damage to your van. Funny, I follow Chad's channel too and when I found yours, I said oh wow, it's Chad's Norwegian cousin because I think there is a slight resemblance between the 2 of you. I love Chad's snowy trips and Arctic adventures also, lovely snowy scenery State side also.

BEAUTIFUL scenery in the mountains. Love the winter scenes along your drives and camp sites and the gorgeous skies out there. Cannot beat seeing the cold winter scenes and then the warm beautifully lit van interior with steaming hot coffee! Lovely. I enjoyed seeing your garden greenery along your decor lights. I always appreciate the ambience in your van at night - or early in the morning. So glad you are OK with running off the road. I know your heart sank when it happened. It sure did not sound good. It warmed my heart to see those government snow truckers help that unfortunate man who was stuck in the ice and snow. Now that shows a culture with heart, human blood, and compassion. Even though they may not have been approved to do that and it was not their problem, they helped out anyway on the spot. In America????? Not sure that would happen with government personnel of today. Maybe in a very small local area. And you went right out in your PJs and shoveled and helped all you could and stayed with the man. It is wonderful to see people helping older folks. I like the idea that you give your Patreon's access to detailed maps of your journeys. That is awesome! Wonderful journey today. Stay safe and warm. Blessings.

All good Butch, dont think it affected my pride, but I am always glad that something like this happens in a safe and controlled manner. You learn something from it, like now I know not to trust the plow sticks a 100% and leave a safety margin because they can be placed a bit too far from the tarmac.

Every time KZbin notifies me that you've published a new video, my entire face breaks into a big smile because I KNOW I'm going to see something interesting, informative, & beautiful. You have no idea how welcome this real winter video is today. Sadly (I'm complaining), Reno is in for record-breaking warm temperatures from Sunday through Tuesday. The nearby snow capped mountains are slowly losing some of their snow cap. 13:47; It was nice that the plow vehicle driver gave you permission to overnight in that parking area. 21:25; The sound of the crash - Whoever just crashed their vehicle is thankful that you've offered to help. WrapBurgers, very creative. 42:40; moved over to make room for the other vehicle who drove off leaving you to deal with your off-road problem. At least others stopped to ask about you. Fortunately, your van didn't roll over on its side. Seems like the tow truck driver is concerned about the angle of lean of your van. You were really fortunate that your van didn't roll over onto its side. Please, Jarl, when you use the English word, "awesome" - please also use the Norwegian & Swedish words for added emphasis. Warm regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

Haha, Thanks Bill! I will try to remember that, the words would be fantastisk , which again is the same as fantastic lol! Yeah, I was glad I didnt go further put and tip over, the tow truck driver was looking under my van to see the towing hook that is installed from the factory, welded to the frame, he thought that looked strong so he had the van out in a second.
