- Snow Chains & Terrifying Avalanches! Surviving another Winter of Extreme Van Life in Blizzards, Hurricanes, Snow Storm & Camping in Freezing Temperatures.
Winter is here! Part 8 for my 2024 Arctic tour. Blizzards, Snow Storm Camping & Freezing Cold, now also avalanches and chains needed. Cozy Van Life Winter Camping in Snow Storm. Surviving extreme weather & temperatures #vanlife #wintervanlife
I head into the avalanche pestered arctic alps to experience an incredible nature, camping in my Fiat Ducato van. This was quite the incredible experience and I was lucky to capture 5 avalanches and snow storm in HDR. I bring my new DJI mini4 pro drone for the first time as I head north, north north!
My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in the USA and Canada.

Surviving my first and 2nd Winters 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.

Just as you chained up, I saw a small cabin and a house I guess. Are these where people live or is it for camping purposes
When you get used to watching someone on RUclips, you include them in your weekly life. I found myself going to your page to check to see if you had released your next video. Then I found out you hadn’t. Knowing what you were doing I became worried that something went wrong. I know that sounds silly but, it’s not. I have grown to like your person. You are so happy doing what you do and I really enjoy watching. Just wanted to let you know how I felt when I thought you should have posted. So I’ll sit back and peacefully enjoy the adventure with you. I wanted to tell you again that I think you are an awesome and amazing guy. You are so humble and kind. Well now you know I think of you as a good friend.
Thank you, I usually post at the same time every or most Saturdays:-)
Yes, we feel connected to such a person. Another kind of modern friendship I suppose.That's really great.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the Arctic! Be well, stay safe, and take good care.
Comments like yours are the reason I read 'em & enjoy them as much as the video.
Warm Regards from Ren, Nevada, U.S.A.
I absolutely loved the view of the fjord and the northern lights were spectacular. When you are not living near these places that have so much snow, you tend to view these beautiful sights with much appreciation. Thank you for allowing us to see these sights with you.
I’m blown away by your winter van life experience. You are living in a van in the most beautiful and harsh places on earth. Your videos are so cozy and relaxing to watch. I love how you show us the real and raw side of van life in the snow. You are an amazing storyteller and filmmaker!
Thank you so much, really appreciate it!!
The footage of the end is stunning. You’re a great drone pilot.
@@richardperkins3460 Thank you Richard!
No words. Just gasps and tears. And the Aurora at the end. Just awesome. Thank you once again for taking me to places I will probably never see except through your eyes and lenses!
Thank you so much my friend🙏 How are the storms in California?
Gloriously gorgeous photography of God's beautiful creation. Norways one of the most beautiful places on earth, And thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks for watching!
It is truly an amazing experience to see God’s beauty !
You are a gift and a blessing to RUclips Mr Xplorer with you beautiful content and quality camera views. I could sit on my birthday evening and go on a trip to Arctic Norway and the Alps and see the Northern Lights and the most beautiful sunrise. I just love those tunnels all lit up going through these huge majestic mountains ranges. Priceless beauty that is equal to nothing else I watch lately. I love this'll little Nordic villages and even a Spar. Would love to become a Patreon member but our South African Rand ROE to the Euro is pathetic.
I am blown away by how much I love your videos and how much care and effort to put in to give us viewers such extreme experiences sitting on our couches. The love you have of this beautiful country just lights up your whole face. Thank you for sharing this with us🫠
Comments like yours are the reason I read 'em & enjoy them as much as the video.
Warm Regards from Ren, Nevada, U.S.A.
Thank you so much Vivienne, so cool you are watching all the way from South Africa!
very true Bill!
It's like been in another planet!! Clean untouched by GREEDY people that can easily destroyed everything. I love my planet that gives me everything that I need to be healthy, happy and alive. Blessings to you my friend, please be safe.
I agree, the destruction is coming on fast here as well
Wow incredible seeing the avalanches and beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Jarl...
I would imagine lots of people would not consider the energy and effort required to produce such footage.
Yes the setting is astonishing...yet it has to be captured.... and try to seemlessly flow...drone operation has to be so precise...and again this week's production has pushed out those limits ...
It's amazing stuff...
All the best from a rainy day in North West England..
Ian.
Hey there Thank you so much🙏
Incredible snow scenery. and The northern lights just topped it off,spectacularly! And to watch this on a large TV was even better. I think that going to Norway and seeing this wonderful country is near the top of my "bucket list."
Come and visit Leland, I am glad you watch on the big screen, that is what it is made for!
another mindblowing snow adventure!love all aspects of it thank you for sharing
Thanks Gerald!
Norway is so epic. So brutally natural. So naturally brutal. Thanks for sharing.
It really is!
Amazing journey!! Hate to see this winter wonderland end....But the Mountains are always beautiful regardless of the season!! Thank you!!
Thanks Butch, I am only halfway through the trip in this video
Really enjoying this series. I love weather like that. Snow, blizzards and gloomy weather, in remote hilly / mountainous areas. Makes me feel cosy inside, looking outside. Stunning place to camp too next to the Fjord / tunnel. Thanks for filming it all for us!
Glad you enjoy it!
I’ll never experience the beauty of your land so I’m grateful you have shared it,
Thanks Kat!
Nota bene ! I just reviewed your hiking to Kjeragbolten 2 years ago. Mamma mia ,! I'm astonished about the decision, elegance, and total (?) lack of fear with which you jumped on that rock, as if it were the doorstep, the entrance of your house ! What's more : turning on yourself 360 degrees and filming the depht ! I admire your courage and braveness, but please do take care Jarl ! 😊
Thank you Regine!
I’m stuck at home due to a snowstorm, the power has been out for hours, and I’m enjoying this video so much. 😊 Thank you!
Nice, where are you located?
I absolutely loved the view of the fjord and the northern lights were spectacular. When you are not living near these places that have so much snow, you tend to view these beautiful sights with much appreciation. Thank you for allowing us to see these sights with you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
breathtaking landscapes combined with a great sound stage..fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it jack!!
Such beautiful scenery wherever you go. The colors are strikingly brilliant. Avalanches were a bit intimidating. I love your road trips. I feel like I'm in the passenger seat. Thank you for the ride!!❤ Looking forward to your next video

This has to be my favorite utube channel, I am so glad you are brave enough to do these adventures and allow us to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

I can see you like your coffee, truly a man after my own heart. Your location reminds me of the ice planet Hoth from star wars the empire strikes back.
Hey Adam, in a couple of my previous videos I was actually at the location where they filmed Hoth, it is by Hardangerjøkulen, Hardangervidda and Finse further south in Norway
your the best keep safe and keep going my friend greetings from scotland
Thanks, you too!
Spectacular. You should get sponsored by the Norwegian Tourist Board!
Hehe, Thanks!
What amazing driving skills you have! I was scared watching .. thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for visiting
Thank you for showing us how beautiful Norway is. And, most importantly, how to make decisions that keep you safe while exploring that beauty.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning and inspiring. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you sir for your amazing videos😊
Thanks for watching!
Bir tanesin sen hayvanoğli🤗

I think you’re totally right about studless snow tires. Thanks for continually giving us the most incredible scenery!
Thanks, yes it works very well!
Wonderful unreal landscapes, another world & of course, another people.
Thank you, indeed!
Just awesome
Thanks!
Well, Jarl, if you were looking for weather, you got it! I enjoyed every minute of watching this video, and it was pretty obvious that you enjoyed every minute of living it. The Alps are incredibly beautiful. Stay safe and warm, and thanks for all the hard work you do to bring these gorgeous videos to all of us.
Thank you so much Judi, it was awesome!
Hi Jarl it certainly better to be prepared for all possibilities with such changeable extreme weather conditions. Loved listening to the sound of the snow crunching under your feet as you walked on it and how it glistened and shone when your light hit it, truly magical experience. Fantastic shots of the avalanches and northern lights with stunning views of the scenery. Thanks for sharing. Take care, keep warm and stay safe 🥰🙏❄x
Thank you so much Sara, glad you enjoyed it!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.😊
Thanks Ned!
What breathtaking scenery! Thank you for sharing this magical and inspiring wonderland.
Glad you enjoy it!
Vous êtes formidable merci encore pour ces belles images...respect 👋👋👋
Thanks Frederic!
At a certain moment one can hear the snowflocks fall on the ice, ploc, ploc.... Another moment the snow made me think of fireworks without sound ! Were that falling stars during the aurora borealis ?? - The Lyngen Alps : sublime !! The morning-sun piercing through the clouds....That pink and soft golden light laid as a glance over the mountain-tops, over the fjords, over the snow-covered plains.... So wonderfull ! Wunderbar ! - I can join the person who looks forward to saturday evening for discovering a new video of yours ! So passionate ! Thanks Jarl !
Thank you Regine, there might have been shooting stars in the Aurora, there certainly are sometimes
Right tools for the right job, Beer
Haha, the beer is always the right tool

👋Hey there Norwegian Xplorer,
As always, another "ripper" video! I am always in awe of your wild & fun adventures & seeing what you get up to & I so love seeing all the scenery abound.
I've already watched a few of your recent videos twice over, as I've enjoyed them that much.
This one is wonderful from start to finish & the scenery, always beautiful.
My trip to Norge was absolutely brilliant & I had the best time. I feel very blessed. It was very cold, snowy & that's exactly what I wanted to experience. I have so many photos & so much filmed, that whenever I miss Norge, I just look @ my videos & watch NX! 😊
You may notice that I recently changed my name, but that's a funny story that I've shared with you within another post.
I should also add, that I even watched your videos before sleeping, whilst in my hotel in Oslo! haha It made it all the more fun & enjoyable, as I was right there on your turf & thought it'd be really fun & it was!
Tusen takk for sharing & here's wishing you well.
Peace✌
I want to Thank You for your Videos all the traveling ,difficulties ,weather etc. I know I wouldn't be able to experience all of these in my lifetime but by watching your video's makes my heart feel like I'm there with you traveling. I too wanted to experience van life. The mountains the beautiful scenery the snow omg I can go on and on. Again thank you for everything. Stay Safe and Healthy ALOHA From Hawaii ❤❤❤❤
Aloha, it is quite beautiful, but harsh, sometimes I wish I was in Hawaii!
right now at 2am finally watching but distracted waiting on a possible tornado here in florida. it would be the 3rd to hit our neighborhood in past years? heavy rain wind hail super bright lightning.. power going on & off. so i would say our weather aint what i grew up with... 😳

Oh wow, be safe, it has been a crazy winter here as well, never had this many storms that I can remember in one winter

Nice:-) cheers!
It looks like you are filming in black and white. Beautiful winter wonderland in Artic Norway. The avalanche video is incredible. We have had a few feet of snow here in Lake Cushman, Washington. Thanks for taking us on your journey. Your van is a remarkable vehicle, the way it handles the road and gives you a cozy home.
Thank you Candy, glad you enjoy my journey, i still have a long way to go!
