What Arctic Van Life Alone is Actually like. Vanlife Solo Camping, Shower, Black Water, Travel, Food

Van Life Camping & full time living in the unknown remote arctic coastal regions. This is what living in a van full time in the arctic is like for me in summer. Shower, black water, food, travel and the midnight sun. I have spent a few days in the Big Sur of the arctic and I continue to some new and amazing places. I struggle to find the camp I was hoping for, but end up in a remarkable place overlooking the arctic ocean in stunning summer weather. #vanlife #vanliving #vanlifetravelvlog
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.

Being able to take showers in your van is a priceless feature. Always so impressed how incredibly well you have the van rigged out, you thought of everything. Thanks for sharing as always! 💯☕️👌💚

[@tnxjesus]

I know its not easy but its peaceful. Jarl you make it seem so beautifully enchanting. Makes it seem like were missing out.

[@sandihandi7831]

I love your background music. Glad you shared . I've checked out Melantopia and look forward to listening.

[@BaronBoerboel_Jeannette]

Beautiful, beautiful spectacular views. Thank you for sharing. That is absolutely gorgeous.

[@maria-graziaferrarotti6263]

...come sempre, un bellissimo viaggio con una guida eccezionale... GRAZIE

[@BaronBoerboel_Jeannette]

Beautiful, beautiful spectacular views. Thank you for sharing. That is absolutely gorgeous.

[@MarinkaKlaver]

Wonderful Jarl, that van life of yours! I think a lot of people are jealous of your lifestyle. De.midnightsun is and remains very unique to witness and experience. I could watch it for hours, while everyone around us was already asleep. It is a natural spectacle that we (Dutch) are unfamiliar with. So incredibly cool that we were able to experience this for the first time this summer! Nice to see your images, in combination with your beautiful music. The volume went up!

[@bigGeo5460]

Your country is spectacular absolutely gorgeous mountains and ocean, when you add in the music it's especially awesome, I'm speechless so happy I found your channel brother 🇺🇲😎🙏

[@Johnvanlife]

Did the toilet cassette remain intact with the cleaning machine? Ours broke down at Lofoten due to such a machine. Empty and cleaned for free, but forced to go to a campsite to repair the cassette.

[@spc3461]

Absolutely mesmerizing! 🌨️ Your Arctic van life journey is truly inspiring. The way you handle solo camping, manage black water, and still find time to enjoy the beauty of the Arctic is incredible. Your tips on showering and food prep in such extreme conditions are super helpful. Keep up the amazing work, and stay warm out there! ❄️🚐

[@rosswhittleton6277]

You have a good life out of the rat race. Long may it continue for you. 👍

[@neilgeorge8952]

#459 "Like" Beautiful scenery while driving. No litter preserves the beauty. I've never seen the "Midnight Sun" in real life, only in your videos. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@cfoxaskew]

[@reginebilliet2679]

That golden midnightsun is fantastic, it is not there for sleeping.... but to be admired.... 😆 I think the beautiful green landscape, smiling in the sun, the sky clear and bright, and the blue see will have rejoyced your heart. And so it did mine.... Awesome video ! Thanks Jarl !

[@andrea6421]

I really enjoyed this video, I was wondering if you had a shower. It’s small but it does the job lol! Thanks for sharing Jarl 😊

[@blackbird-w1g]

[@MJibco]

[@samhill3496]

Great vid spectacular beauty. Can't wait to see it myself. All good next time. Enjoy the home country

[@lobstershrimp]

I always skip to the meal and chill parts... just so cozy and relaxing. Wish there was a compilation of several hours for sleep 💤

[@stanpollard]

I don't know if the price of everything over is gone up alot. Here in Canada everything is gone up at least 30% in price even insurance for your car and gas is very expensive now. And trying to repair your car is at least 2000 to 3000 dollars to fix a minor repair. I see alot of people giving up there homes and living in campers now. Rent here is around 2500 to 4000 CND a month. I wish you all the best of luck . Keep up the great videos

[@candylee4684]

It's like you are driving up to heaven. The clouds, and bright blue sky are surreal. I hope you have enjoyed your trip to the US. It's turning fall here in the Northwest. Alone but not lonely I hope.Take care

[@lobstershrimp]

I suffer from the heart and always wonder how scary it would be for me out there if there was an emergency. Far from everything and everyone. No connection and even if able to call for help, the time it would take for it to arrive. Wish everyone health above all, it's truly everything ♥️🙏

[@joeyjennings9548]

i been busy & still not well. hurricane left a mess but feeling blessed to have a home 🏡 prayers to all 🙏💒 i hope you plan for the very unexpected weather. it was nice to relax with scenery & your music.

[@CoMorbiditty]

7:00 beautiful camping spot Always wondered about the emptying of the toilet. There must be quite a few of those stations around the country? You really have made the music enhance your beautiful videos. A very successful combination. Thanks for the information on what you do every day. When do you get the time to compose your music?? Oh by the way, Ive changed my photo and name on youtube lol.

[@catmama54]

I admit I'm jealous of the peace and tranquility you have living this life and the breathtaking scenery. Now a shower and toilet, all one needs. lol

[@MGE9436]

Weren't you suppose to be going to Yellowstone this summer. Or have you been already 😮

[@stanleylogan7139]

Hi Jarl! Do you have to take a cold shower to save water? Or do you have an instantaneous water heater? Nice day in the life video! Are you still in the US?

[@angiedeane5700]

Not trying to be rude, but I really do not think that is any of our business.

[@lucyterrier7905]

No need to know personal information.

[@CJEndowed001]

@@juditate111 if the author wants to grow his channel, sharing some key personal information will be beneficial. Of course we do not need personal information as who he dates outside of marriage that could lead to some unwanted secrets float to the surface but as a viewer who presses likes i want some background information.
