Having traveled thru Norway by car and by bike, there is no natural obstacle that Norwegian civil engineers cannot overcome. The road/bridge/tunnel system is amazing.

[@alymar18]

Watching and listening to Rachelle go down on the bobsled had me smiling the whole time! :D

[@gregpetroski6333]

if anyone is wondering why in Canada mac and cheese is called kraft dinner, it's because there isn't enough (any?) dairy product in it to call it cheese. Same with the "american cheese". No cheese in it so those are called kraft singles. Fun series. :)

[@kennybanks7689]

From South Africa ..and a person that loves camping and 4x4 with family .. I truly love all your series .. totally awesome

[@djjd8520]

Absolutely remarkable, thank you for filming this and sharing it with the world, just incredible.

[@presidentbusiness5982]

Kurt is my main draw to watching XO. I'd give him as many After Eights as he wants.

[@themandalorianfromstarwars7342]

What are after eights??? Never heard of them before? What does it do?

[@torkjellhjertvik890]

@@themandalorianfromstarwars7342 It is a leaf-thin 5x5 cm mint chocolate. Very good. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Eight

[@letsseeyoutravel8364]

The Terd tradition must live on for the next overland exploration.

[@LindseyRyder]

When enjoying After Eights, the rule is you leave the individual wrapper. Why? To hide the fact that you ate any and others can’t blame you for it! 😊🇨🇦 Great episode!

[@Roger.ludvigsen_ARM.Overland]

Thank you guys for showing off my Norway to the world in a fantastic way!!🙏🏻 Makes me proud of being Norwegian.

[@nebc_yukonyeti]

Yes to the After Eights!!! 🥾🏔🇨🇦❤️

[@tituskiplagat4980]

From Kenya home of Safari that was epic ....I can attest Norwegian engineers are just something else😂

[@KarmahBlack]

Truly epic

[@jaykanngiesser3454]

Kraft dinner with solid white tuna! Oh, yeah!

[@drfruen]

Welcome back to Norway! Please get in touch if we can help with some must sees for your next visit!

[@tukocan]

I'm a Canadian living in Sweden. We have overland through Sweden and Norway extensively in our Land Rover over the years visiting many of the sites that you have shown in this excellent series. One thing that we have learned is that you sinply don't have enough time to see everything espicially if your following a strict schedule. With that said, we are heading back to Norway this summer for several weeks and will be visiting one of the spots that you guys shared with us in this episode. Safe travels and looking forward to the next episode.

[@rayeccles9922]

We have never been to all the places you have taken me. But now we will!

[@Suited2Sh00t]

Such a great episode! The bobsledding was awesome. Good on Cyrus for making the decision to travel and be a part of something he’ll never forget!

[@xxxfarcry092xxx1]

For something like this, it is a NO BRAINER missing out on high school! I am SHOCKED he even had to think about it. I NEVER would hesitate for something like this.

[@waya5893]

I have found the history and events interesting. How certain historical sites have played a pivotal moment in our world moving forward in peace and harmony.

[@svalenti94]

Garlic Powder + MAC N CHEESE = heaven

[@studiobrar1692]

Totally mesmerizing episode…thx for bringing us along virtually…cheers!!!

[@beardedshooter9540]

Love Clay getting excited over After eights. I'm guessing they aren't well known in the US?

[@ihmesekoilua]

Oh boy. I've been looking forward to this series since you announced it and it just keeps getting better.

[@pauljordan756]

The 💩scene at beginning was hilarious!!! Great job keeping it real and fun to watch. Awesome episode once again. Thank you for sharing the adventure and the smiles.

[@country-road-driver]

Thank you very much for your Nordic series. It has been a real pleasure to follow your journey

[@rickwhitmire7933]

That is So true, Clay! The Best things in travel, are at the end of a road!! 🤙

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always XO Crew. Everywhere you look is breath takingly beautiful and truly magnificent truly God's handiwork.

[@stefanomantini]

Experiencing the magic of the world without the distraction of phones or laptops is truly an unparalleled level of peace and human connection. It reminds us of the freedom we can feel when we disconnect from technology and immerse ourselves in the present moment.

[@Dwealdric]

KRAFT. FREAKIN. DINNER. BABY! A staple of Canadian camps from Cape Spear to Boundary Peak!

[@boonyawatl]

Epic. Can’t wait the Iceland.

[@joshleal9811]

I'm so amazed of the first face of the expedition, I can't wait to see the second one; which will be amazing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@kodreng69]

if you come to Norway again, you should sail with the ferry into Lysebugten from Sævrås. it is a fantastically beautiful trip. the captain can tell you a lot about what you are sailing by.

[@TheNicho2011]

And another fantastic Episode! Many thanks, I really enjoy every single Episode!

[@EaglesOverlanding]

Such a good episode. Can’t wait to see the future episodes of expedition overland. Keep up the good work.

[@joelsanford]

Ah man, After Eights are amazing. My grandmother used to give us those as a treat 40 years ago! They were actually from the UK starting in the 60s I believe.

[@edschneider1780]

Absolutely Fantastic!

[@c.h.9193]

Kraft Mac & Cheese....A slight deveation, in the package resepit. Instead of adding Butter, Add BACON Grease. Oh my gash, is that ever good. What's not better with Bacon.? Enjoy! This has been so much fun. Gonna miss Curt! Onward.... Cathleen

[@markhannah7367]

I’m going to try this. Thank you!

[@NurlanMulkamanov]

Hi from Kazakhstan! May be one day you will come to Asia and visit Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc. I'd be more than happy to join you guys!

[@letsseeyoutravel8364]

Wow...al I can say is wow wow wow..great job making these Vids

[@texlee1640]

I did the bobsled experience when I worked over there, so much fun. Norway truly is a treasure and a must visit country. So cool to see y'all travel through areas I have also been to outside of the states. This brings back some great memories from my past.

[@SebastianDaniec]

So glad to see you guys enjoy Scandinavia. I'm also glad you visited some places that we have been to. Säskarö, my first real sand driving experience in Sweden. The Danish bakery by the windmill was a special place that me and my wife discovered on our bicykle tour around Denmark. The cakes were so good my wife teard up. I look forward to Iceland episodes as that is a goal of ours in the future.

[@nicolaskueneman33]

Love it 🤘🏻🫡

[@user-iz3rd6ob7h]

From one series to another, the cinematography is getting more and more interesting. By the way, as a French Canadian, we say "Kraft Diner". Thank you so much.

The drive from Setesdal to Lysebotn is pure magic - but will tax your brakes quite a bit. In the summer, there's a ferry running, getting you closer to Stavanger, and the coast. Hope you took Road 44 along the coast from Jæren going east!

[@jimbenton53]

HOT DOGS and MAC & CHEESE.... good decisions

[@Maritimer]

Amazing episode as always, you guys do such an amazing job with filming, editing and narration. Always inspires me to make videos. So... What the heck, After Eights is a Canadian thing? I just assumed the Americans had them too.... they are delicious little things though. Bobsledding looked so fun, and that road and Fjord in Norway was beautiful !! The Fjord really gave me Newfoundland Canada vibes but to a larger extent, it's such a beautiful province. Anyways thanks for sharing !

[@pyroslev]

I hope you guys had a 10th as much fun as we had in Iceland. We had three days and it was to short. I think now, my wife and I are gonna be heading to Norway, Finland and that whole area for a run.

[@TheTWISTmyGears]

I follow ALL of your episodes.. I'm an old handicapped senior that can only dream of your adventures and a set of those tires on my trailblazer. I escape with my 2 dogs at 8500 feet elevation in the Colorado mountains EVERY chance I get.. 😊

You guys have to try Mac-N-Cheese with some cubbed spam in it….. 😊 from North Carolina and that’s what we call a poor man’s supper lol 😂

As a Swede and looking at those vehicles. Pretty sure the gas for this trip wasn't cheap :P

Would like to see some off road action! All this can be done in a normal car. It’s disappointing that there are no off road trails in the Nordic countries.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Just wait for Iceland in a few weeks 😏

[@Christian76S]

Europe is small and densely populated. It's covered in tarmac. From where I live I've to drive at least 1500km to get to the French Alps to have at least a little bit of gravel. Lucky you if it's different where you live.

[@Dan-fo9dk]

@@Christian76S Europe is small....??? Compared with what...??? Here is some geography help for you: If you compare with the US (including Alaska) then still Europe is larger ....and if you look specific on the lower 48 ....than Europe is much larger..... There are no distance ....whatever direction....that can match distances in Europe..... Didn't you hear what was said in the video that they had been driving a distance ....where the majority was in Scandinavia..... that was equal to crossing the US .....twice..... Scandinavia + Finland is much bigger area than France ....so there are plenty of wilderness....but we don't allow the nature to be destroyed by off-road driving ....hence it is illegal to do that kind of stuff.

[@Dan-fo9dk]

These last videos has been from Scandinavia. There are no arid deserts like Arizona or Utah. Be also aware of the geo location of Scandinavia ....which is equally far north as northern part of Alaska. The nature in the Arctic is very vulnerable so off roading would be damaging to nature ....hence it is illegal to do that kind of stuff. So stay on the road. Also Iceland gives no free card to do whatever, but has clear restrictions on where you can drive....and that is only on dedicated routes....

[@Christian76S]

@@Dan-fo9dk compared to the numbers of population

[@markj10]

Amazing videography! But off pavement overlanding is must for this team… hoping the series leads into challenging terrain 🍿

[@Tanner_Johnson]

Don’t worry. It does. There’s soooo much more to “Overlanding” then just off roading. Stay tuned 🎉
