Winter Camping in a Snow Storm, Blizzard Extreme Weather - Disturbing Encounters Caught on Camera

Horror version! Winter blizzard camping in a snow storm in the northern wilderness in cold tent. Scary Version. The forecast said 26m/s or 58mph winds with minus ÷7°c or 19°F. I did this trip to test my gear for survival on arctic mountain winter trips above the tree-line, where you will not find trees for shelter or wood for a fire. I wanted to see what the weak and strong points of my gear was. I could have built a snow wall but needed to test the tent without one.
There are old stories about this forest
Horror stories about people disappearing in the woods in winter
of strange broken shapes in the night.....
Disturbing Encounters Caught on Camera, can you spot them?
Enjoy the video!
Gear list for this trip is towards the end of the video.

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.

Helsport Svalbard 6 Camp Zelt ⛺️ Have you seen anyone use it? Is it a strong tent suitable for strong snowstorms or strong winds? Or is the cylindrical, tunnel-shaped shape (Helsport Camp 3) more robust and more suitable for storms, snow, and strong winds?

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Tremendous respect for anybody who does this without a hot tent. It requires amazing skill and courage. As far as I am concerned, anyone who resorts to camping with a hot tent might just as well stay home and camp out in their living room.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thanks! i agree!

[@spc3461]

This is insane! How did you do it? You are a true Norwegian explorer! You showed us what it means to be prepared, resilient, and adventurous. I’m in awe of your courage and determination. Thank you for making this awesome video. I can’t wait to see more!

That's a real blizzard. Definitely only for the experienced camper. Great video 👍👍

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you so much!

[@IvanGorbenko]

Nice video. As a snow backpacker I would suggest during the strong wind. Use the shovel to make a bit dipper hole for the tent. And all snow use as a wall from the wind side. It will provide less pressure on the tent, more quiet night.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Cool, thanks

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Yes, but we are in the Nordics here, we camp in the open

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 A worthwhile watch .. even though I now, after 73 Summers, do not foresee myself ever camping out in those conditions. Preparation and setup .. as seen with your Tent. One must do it thoroughly .. and then some more. This could (most probably will) prevent lots of 'hanna-hanna' later with the initial discomfort /effort having being well worth it. I hope that those who watched this presentation have looked and learned. That said, should some Ghoul come scratching on your tent during the early hours of the morning 😱 .. I don't have an answer for that 😏. Thanks for sharing .. take care ..

Lol, right

[@azclaimjumper]

It seems like no matter how harsh the weather is you pitch your tent with what appears to be a minimum of effort & record a video at the same time. 10:29; Yes, I definitely wanted to see the coffee making footage as part of this video. Loved the Halloween scary footage which caught me by surprise. My take away is putting wet gloves on my shoulders to speed the drying out process. Same could apply for a pair of wet socks. I've seen more snow in your videos than I have in real life. I especially like that you ALWAYS show a list of all your gear at the end of each video. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

Dette var en fin video, Likte godt musikken i starten også. Dette er jo sånn tiden ser ut litt nå fremover mot januar, mye vind og er vi heldige har vi snøen som ligger der som gir mulighet for truger eller ski. For noen deler av verden er jo dette helt ekstremt, men for oss med "ut på tur aldri sur" i blodet er dette en fin måte å teste utstyr på. Håper på mye vind og snø på Knutefjell eller Blefjell i november/desember. Da skal jeg ut på neste tur :) Takk for en flott video!

Amazing video. At -7C with 94km/h winds (58mph) will feel like -20 outside. Used a windchill calculator. Besides avalanches, i think the wind is very dangerous in the winter. I camped few days ago on a mountain peak at -6 with no wind luckily. Had to call search and rescue in the morning due to a headache. Forgot my Ibuprofen at home or else i would have been ok. Some hikers came by and gave me an Ibuprofen then i was fine to hike out by myself. Scary for sure. Luckily in my case they were hikers and not ghosts lol. Your videos are so amazing. I always watch them with my wife.
