Blizzard Winter Camping in a Snow Storm - Extreme Solo Tent Camp Surviving Heavy Snowfall Freezing

- Winter camping & backpacking in a snowstorm, blizzard - heavy snowfall extreme weather forest tent camping in the north, no fire, cold tent, high winds, survival. 25 m/s, 56 mph, 90 km/h.
Cold tent winter camping during a snow storm in the northern wilderness. The forecast said 25m/s or 56mph winds. I choose snow shoes again since it makes filming easier than if I was using skis.
I walked out into the forest in a break in the storm and set up camp, getting ready for the heavy snowstorm that was coming in through the night. It turned into a massive storm but I had found a sheltered place for my camp in the trees. I also built a snow wall to shelter behind for the eastern winds. Quite an interesting trip that ended in a mixture between rain and sleet. Extended version coming soon.
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.

That tent seems realiable. What tent is it?
EDIT: a good minute before the end, I found the info :)
Hilleberg Nallo 3, for everybody who is interested.
Good work 💯💯💯💯
I know it's very hard n cold n wet but I really want to experience it.👍
This was great! I’m 63 and I still love winter camping in the snow. No hot tent, no Little Buddy heater. Just my 2 man tent, my -45 degree sleeping bag, my jet boil, with grub & coffee!
Exactly, thats the gear you need and that you can take into the mountains
Hi great setting, -45 it's colder than the 2022 buffalo new York blizzard. Your gear saved your life. Please put a detailed list of your awesome gear.
I'm 67 and alone now, I wouldn't even imagine this. I love thinking I could be warm, this is my dream.
-45 degress😮 which Sleeping Bag do you use? Please share your gears list!!
@@Monika-uv2qp it is an old USAF surplus bag, it weighs a ton. So I only use it static camping, not backpacking. ThermaRest LuxuryMap pad to go under my bag, and a ThermaRest Zlite to go on the ground.I have a Jetboil flash cooking system. Alps Mountaineering Tasmanian 2 person 4 season tent. Alps Red Tail backpack. I’m looking into getting a ThermaRest Polar Ranger bag, it is only a -20f bag, but I will get some kind of a down filled poncho that doubles as a bag for a liner.
Enjoyed watching this at 8.30pm in my armchair drinking a large whisky in the warm. Lovely.
Wonderful!
This man walks trough deep snow like he is walking on a beach. Effortlessly. And keep in mind when you film by yourself the trip is twice as long and sometimes three times as long. Walk ahead and place the camera. Walk back and then go forward towards the camera. Then go back and retrieve the camera and do it again and again and again. Brilliant filming. Just amazing.
Thank you!
My feet always get cold unless I'm in room temperature. When my feet are cold, the rest of me feels cold.
I'm glad you can enjoy this. I love the idea of it with the storm sounds. Thanks for not adding music.
Thanks Joe!
It looks sooo cold even inside the tent. Amazing how something made of fabric can shelter a person in bad weather. That's a pretty sturdy well made tent. I'd like to see someone build an igloo to ride out a blizzard in.
This was a good one. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks Myrna!
This is my top favourite camping video on RUclips!
Ive lost count how many times ive re-watched this vid.
Puts me to sleep in minutes wraped up in my blanket in bed pretending im out in the snow in a blizzard
Awesome!
I love to watch winter camping in snow but I just can't understand why anyone would put themselves through it lol. I wouldn't be able to sleep for those high winds and I can't stand being cold. You're a brave man x
Можно понять, если только он испытатель этой зимней экипировки, а мы, глядя на него, только сильней укутываемся в одеяло.
Thanks Karen!
Mungkin dia sudah terbiasa melakukannya
Men are weird😂
@@RONJAE212003 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for another awesome winter storm video. Hardcore camping at its best!
Thanks Frank!
We were in our cabin 2 weeks ago in the UP of Michigan in an exact same type of blizzard. We had the wood stove burning away, nowhere to go and we loved it!! You're brave to be in a tent. The howling of the winds was so relaxing. Good video, I enjoyed it!
Sounds great!
Yay! Blizzards ARE so calming & cozy. -Saami in WA.
I love that tent!
We road out a storm at my cabin in Michigan a few weeks back. Power went out so pellet stove went down. Luckily enough we still had the old wood stove in the basement that was the original. My cousins live in the area and brought over enough wood to last the night. We enjoyed some kettle stew and some hottie totties and listened to it howl outside in freezing cold weather.
I absolutely love the UP
I used to go to Neebish Island at the end of August. Absolutely the favorite time of my life. That's when I fell in love with the UP. I've seen much more since then. Love it! I'm from NW Ohio.
It was a dark and stormy night...... Happy New Year though.
It was, happy new year!

@@user-th7sl5ux2w What does that mean?
Enjoying life to the fullest 😊
Love the idea of the isolation. No television, no depressing news, no mobile phone, no music, no humans. As long as I had some chocolate, I would love it. 😊
Lol, chocolate is the best, i am trying to quit!
Almost had to put on coat to watch. Happy New Year Jarl!!!
Happy new year Butch!
This is by far the most intense snow camping video ❄️❄️🥶🥶
Thanks Bud!
Excellent quality gear list! Your sleeping bag and tent are top of the line. I say, “buy once, cry once”.
Yeah, I have never regretted buying those or anything else from the top shelf
I really enjoy these videos 🎉I’d never handle it myself but I’ll just enjoy watching ✊
Thanks Craig!
Aaahh, relaxing during a snow storm. The right time for an ice cream.
In weather like this there is no such thing as an EXPENSIVE Hilleberg tent, especially when it's providing reliable 5-Star Shelter during a strong gusty rain/snow /wind storm. It quite remarkeable that anyone can manufacturer a shelter that withstands the kind of weather you not only endured, but filmed for us to enjoy.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada - we got 4" of snow the past 2-days/nights.
I agree, wow, I heard there where storms and you got dumped, I hope you get to go outside and enjoy it Bill!
Nothing beats a hilleberg!
@@peterpohan3850 Indeed!
Damn great tent. That’s a real wind, sheesh! Når la vinden endelig seg?
@@papajeff5486 It calmed down in the morning
أحب التخييم كثيرا فصل الشتاء رائع
It is!
Just like the night Rudolf spent in the land of Unwanted Toys! :D
What a hardcore, no fire no heat,just a small tent. Great adventures awaits you
Thank you🙏
I like the sound of the wind!.. Relax me!.. Snow and wind!
Regards from Greece!
☺️
Cool storm. I, also love the sound of the snow battering the tent. I can tell by the smile on your face that you are enjoying yourself. Hope you have the happiest of New Years. Stay safe and warm.
Yes, thank you Judi and happy new year!
I think it’s amazing how well so many people speak English as a second language.
It takes a lot of hard work.
This looks awesome! I’ve never done camping but this seems amazing… with the proper gear though
That wind sounds crazy. I dont think you would be able to hear of something was creepin up.
There is just something that is so comforting about being behind a thin layer of fabric from mother nature.
It is indeed!
Happy New Year! Keep taking us with you, to your beautiful adventures also in 2023!
Happy new year Nikos!
I'm reporting you for pure awesomeness.
😂thanks Pete, happy new year!
Happy New Year Jarl! What an effort for a overnight camping adventure. And a great job on all aspects of the video! It looks like you didn't get much sleep or rest there! Excellent video to start 2023.
Thanks Stanley, I got some good sleep actaully, slept until around 10 in the morning:-)
Después de vivir esto no habrá nada que le dé temor en la vida 🇲🇽👍
Extreme wild camping.. wow ⭐️❄️
This was amazing, love these uploads your knowledge/capability & equipment in adverse weather conditions. Also find the ASMR soothing could fall asleep listening, thankyou taking us on another adventure 💚
Thank you very much Sammy, happy new year!
My best night ever was in a glamped out tent, buddy heater and hearing sleet hitting the tent
The " how long can you avoid to use the outdoor toilet" challenge! 😄 Gender change by frostbite!!! ❄⛄❄
Well put together. Thanks for sharing the snow storm experience.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the way you brace the crazy storm .. stay strong 💪.. keep bringing the content.. cheers mate.
Thanks, will do!
Nice compact shovel
This was great! I'm 87 and I still love winter camping in the snow. No hot girls, no stinky weed. Just my hand and my wee little willy!
Lol
OMG!!!! I haven’t heard this beautiful sound in years and years . I was brought up in northern Quebec so I know the sound .
Awesome, thanks for watching!
So enjoyed this. I camp vicariously with you. Thank you.
Awesome, thanks Katherine!
Another amazing adventure, Jarl. As always, thank you for taking us with you. Even if I am hundled under a quilt in my warm living room. 😃 Happy New Year and stay safe out there! ☺❤
Happy new year Deborah
Nouvel An à toi, moi aussi. J'ai réagi Avec son aventure intéressante
Thank you for braving the extreme conditions and sharing your experiences with us. I would be in tears right after it got lower than 40°F. One year, I went skiing in Utah, I was so demoralized and cold. I came back defeated. So the next year I added a fur layer under my parka and went back to conquer. I did.
Thank you so much!
Love the tranquility.. The wind makes beautiful white noise.
Thank you, longer version later today!
Lots of us guys have tested ourselves camping here in Alabama. We use to go when the weather was down in the teens, I believe it reached 9° once at my lowest experience here in central Alabama. The only blizzard I saw was while in HS in the blizzard of 93, again here in central Alabama. I wouldn’t have wanted any part of that one! Man, you had 56 mph winds??? Wow!!! Congrats for braving it and making it through safely. I’d be thinking tree limbs, tent ripping, too many possibilities that could turn dangerous really fast. So hats off on that trip. 👍🏼
Thank you! These are not really trees that will loose a limb or fall down, pretty sturdy stuff:-)
Very good video. High wind, good scenery, nice tent. I enjoyed this video
Thank you very much!
Ideally for comfort use Double Tent. Thr inner Tent with thevintegrated Ground Pad.Complete Sealed off ! Outer Tent just for double protrction and Safety without Ground Pad...
Absolutely awesome. You are so brave. I really enjoy your videos. Peace and Blessings from the USA, state of Connecticut ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much
Amazing video! Wishing you many miles of beautiful trails with warm sun on your back in the coming year. Oh, and some really great adventures too!
Thanks, you too!
What a beautiful place, I would love to live the rest of my life in a place like that. So beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing. 💖
Glad you enjoyed it
This is my kind of 5 Star Hotel…..the Paradise!!
Indeed
I agree . Very cozy and fun. I do add one other piece, a 6 shot 44 with a 4” barrel. Very comforting
Congratulaciones !👏🇧🇷
Jarl is a madman! Love this - what a great winter gear setup!
Thanks lol!
Nature,,man,,,number,ONE,,ACE,,,HAPPY,,NEW,,YEAR ,새해복많이받고,,건강하세요,,,,,
Thank you, happy new year!
I love night campaign
Thanks!
Sou brasileira, nunca vi neve acho que não sobreviveria nessa condição climática. Parabéns pelo vídeo!👏👏
Thanks:-)
Çok zevkli
Türkiye'de yaşıyorum aynı bizim buralar video da sesten başka bir şey yok bir tepenin dibinde çadırını kursa idi daha iyi olurdu .
My dear friend, this is such a powerful and incredible video and so amazing to experience it from your unique point of view. As someone who used to be incredibly adventurous, hitchhiking, and a lot of outdoor hiking, I feel almost guilty watching this and asking myself what happened. Moved to a city a few years ago and feel like I lost all the adventurous spirits I had before. Watching your video, I feel truly motivated to change this scenario. Thank you for creating and sharing this, I really appreciate it.
I am glad to hear that, sometimes it is very difficult to get motivation, I know how it is!
Test which way the wind is blowing and pitch your tent behind a hill.
Not for the faint of heart. Some serious camping there. When the pit is knee deep and you haven't hit earth that's some deep snow. The Nallo is holding up well. Stake my life on a Hilleberg. Put the snow sound in some of your music. You know Jarl it's easy getting out there before the storm hits. But it's a whole other story trying to make it back in. Call the dogs and hunker down. Happy New Year. Be safe.
Thanks Sam you too
Great stuff. Really amazing to watch this crazy weather camping. My favourite!
Thanks Lee!
Saya sangat setuju dengan pernyataan anda
That is nuts!
It was pretty cool!
This is what we want, real camping in extreme condition,
Glad you enjoy it!
Happy New Year and best wishes to you.....beautiful scenery and Iron man beating the horrible cold and snowstorm...
Happy new year!
That snow sound hitting the tent was so relaxing . The wind not so much. But another great video. Love winter camping videos, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Jay!
I love the cold. This looks like Heaven.
Me too, thank you Paul!
I always enjoy your camping you’ll never be alone because I’m always there with you I love the snow Enjoy your adventure
Thank you so much Gwen!
Happy New year .. thanks for posting this great video.

Happy new year!
The epitome of camping in the wild 🫶
Thank you:-)
Very cool tent
Thanks
U doing very good. Blizzard
I’m sure this looks impressive to a lot of you, but this man is Norwegian, ☝️😲 This is peak summertime for someone like him.
Lol
Crazy! You definitely need a floor in your tent!
Love your videos!
Connie from Pennsylvania in US!
Thanks Connie, there is a floor, but not in the vestibule
I dont know why i like camping in cold climat, i was born in desert always 🔥 hot climat
I was born in the cold and love camping in the desert:-)
Finally!!! a good (real deal) adventure camping video on youtube. Nice one. Wild weather tenting ... actually happening. Good one bud. Been there many time, so it's great to see it documented. Cheers.
I appreciate you noticing😂 I agree, there are a lot of snow storm claims out there, and then there is a faint drizzle of snow in the video
This is So beautiful 👍
Thank you!
An amazing adventure and a beautiful feeling. I wish you success. Greetings to you, your follower from Saudi Arabia 🤝
Thank you 👍
what i truly appreciate about this video. is that its not just another camp and cook show like most all other you tubers. great job man
Glad you enjoyed it Roger!
Niezwykłe. zdjęcia👍❤️
Happy New Year, adventure amazing ,waiting for the extended version. Good luck Jarl 🙏
The extended version is being finished and will be out later in the winter. Thanks for your support and happy new year Sulaiman!
Hello ! Happy new year👍👍
Thank you! You too!
Holy cow! 😮
❄️🥶
There's some dangerous animals out there like wolves. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. please be careful 🙏🏻
Sadly no wolves in Norway, they have all been shot by the horrible sheep farmers.
Epic mate, the conditions you camp in are harsh and wild, yet beautiful and brilliant, great video, love your filming style, atb Mick 👍
Thanks a ton Mick!
Loved it. Just...a bit too short. We want the 1h version of the storm. 😀
Coming soon!
@@NorwegianXplorer You the man! 🥶👍
Mi-a fost greu sa ma uit.Era asa multa zăpadă și vânt, iar tu nu aveai macar o soba mica sa te încălzești.
Ești f curajos !!!
Thanks!
him : enjoying the snow storm
me : enjoying just only his video.
This is a more realistic snow camping with no help from snow vehicles to carry camping equipment
Thanks, it is indeed realistic:-)
Sean Richards yes and snow vehicules to sleep inside
@@fcomme5754 what are you saying, he slept inside a snow vehicle
In Alberta Canada we're pretty used to -35 to - 45° C weather for anywhere from 6-8 months a year and anywhere from 3'-5' of snow! Yet not always at once but very known to happen! So I'm getting what you were going through!
That is cold, very rare in Norway to get that cold
Ok... I'm moving to Norway! I love snow, and I adore camping outdoors all year round yet I am rather abit tiring of the bitter cold!!!
Come on over:-)
Thank you for sharing. I love to watch your videos while in my warm kitchen drinking a cup of coffee!
Thanks Lenore🙂
O my god keep safe and take care🙏
Thanks, I always do:-)
Im so amazed by you being ok with just a sleeping bag. Do they really keep you warm at all?? Great video.
Yes, good sleeping bag and pad
The sound of the snow hitting the tent "I love this sound" Me too! Great video, sir. Man I would love to go out on a similar type adventure like this with you! Bucket list
Happy new year
Happy new year Matt!
My comment was going to be, you are craaazy . . . but then, you are amaaazing. Such a dramatic experience of fierce winter. I am now going to stop complaining about the current "severe" winter weather we're having here in Southern California.
Lol, thanks Julie!
So cool!
Thanks!
This is so inviting. My husband and I have camped out on numerous occasions. No where near what y’all do. Wow it’s just awesome. Really kinda scary. Do you ever worry about wildlife.
Thank you, no, I am in Norway, wildlife is extinct sadly
great video and beautiful place. I really want to camp in a place like this. great job great.
Thank you very much!
I will take a snow storm over a thunderstorm any day of the week.
Aaaah, I can smell fresh snow!
Indeed!
For those wondering why he dug a hole in the vestibule, it's to allow him to sit in the tent and easily remove his boots. That helps to prevent snow in the tent.
PRO TIPS
ISOBUTANE
Isobutane canisters are not that great in winter because cold will contract the gas, so the stove will be less performant and can even not work at all. Either keep the canister in your jacket to warm it up before using it. Or use one of those toe warmers pads. They have a sticker under it, so you can stick it under the canister to keep the gas warm.
MELTING SNOW
It's best to compact the snow very hard in the pot and then to slowly warm it up to make water. This will avoid burning the pot and the water to have a bad taste.
SNOW WALL & SHOVEL
You can do like him and build a snow wall around your tent. However, if a lot of snow, you might end up all snowed in. That's, again, do like him and keep the shovel inside.
VARIOUS
Always have a knife at hand during a snowstorm. If your tent collapse, it may be like a vacuum seal and the tent very tight on you with absolutely no light. If unable to find the door and zipper quick, then you'll need to cut the tent to get out.
You can also set a tarp, V-shape, over your tent using the trekking poles of tree branches and paracord as a ridgeline. This will help a lot by deflecting the snow and keeping you even warmer.
The winter cannisters are mostly propane which works very well in winter, it is good to have a little bit of water in your pot nefore adding snow to avoid burning of the pot.
@@NorwegianXplorer Maybe in your country, but in North America and France, the Isobutane canisters consist of 80% Butane and 20% Propane. Also, that's why no one in mountaineering is using isobutane canisters. Not even the Norwegian army for their winter operations.
@@NorwegianXplorer I just checked and the canister you're using is a Coleman Xtreme. Coleman claims the mix is 70% Butane / 30% Propane. So that helps during winter. However, the less fuel remaining in the canister, the lesser the performance will be. This is simple physics combining vaporization, and cold temperature/contraction.
This hole has a other function too. It allows the cold air to sink into it. Everyone in the Norwegian army knows the name of this hole. Something like “cold trench”
@@pal_lokomotivet2679 You're 100% right lokomotive :) This comes from the Inuits (Canada) and other people living in the Arctic and making igloos. Some may think the entrance is level with the ground and the bottom of the igloo, but it's not. It's lower than the floor of the igloo to allow the cold to sink. The digging in the tent's vestibule does that, but just a little. But hey! when cold, you take everything that can help to get warmer, right? ;)
