My 1st Month Full Time Van Living. Thunderstorm, Heavy Rain & Vanlife Secrets. Cozy Luxury Camping

Caught in Thunder, Massive Storms & Heavy Torrential Rain. Showing you my secret dirt back roads in the mountains, and some of the most epic van camps you can find overlooking the fjords as I make my way to the Arctic and the extreme north north. #vanlife #thunderstorm #heavyrain #raincamping #storm
I decided to move into my cozy luxury van, travel full time and see what vanlife alone is actually like. I had spent the previous winter in the van riding out snow storms, blizzards and freezing temperatures, but now it was time for full time van life in the arctic north.
This was filmed before my arctic winter tour that you have been seeing these past 6 months
My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in the USA and Canada but with a diesel engine and manual transmission.

Here is the full arctic winter tour season in one playlist • The 2024 Arctic Tour! ...
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.

Second part. That was an awesome drive, "sur une route en lacets", between Jotunheimen and Jostedal and Geiranger, with beautiful mountains with their eternal snow"patches". The close-up of the rock with the numerous waterfalls was too short in time, but looked quite impressive. Magnificent scenery ! Gorgeous fjords ! We, humans, should remain very humble in front of such a grandeur. - tomorrow : third part !

Glad you are able to spend some time with your friends. The sphere inside of the glacier looked like Jupiter and the lighting was remarkable. The two campsites you had toward the end were spectacular. Loved the time lapse with the cloud shadows moving across the mountains. The waterfall looked awesome, a lot of water! I think it's a lot better camping in a van when it's raining. At least you can get up and move about. Thanks for sharing Jarl.

Sighs This was wonderful visiting with my dear friend !!! It’s been too long. I got very spoiled when my dad was still here n my job allowed me much time with u on here. But just SO much has changed now. I feel sad to lose Patreon n all ur personal photos of u n ur life. I gonna miss out on that now. I still a member on here though. It was so good to see all those areas of such beauty again too. N that glacier. I think the first time u went into it I just went on n on n on of how spectacular it was. Literally like being on another planet with billions of diamonds all around. N this visit was when u didn’t have the drone. N yet u still managed to show us the most beautiful sites. I miss the Grey Warrior n the most important meal of the day. ☺️ It was just good to see u Jarl. I hope ur bouncing back from ur illness. Mine wouldn’t let go of me for months. I hope that’s not the same for u. Also I hope all ur followers r doing well too. I just miss everyone. Look forward to the next visit. Whenever I can. 👍🙏❤️‼️ TJ
