The sounds, the visuals, the storytelling, the clothing, the equipment, your voice, the lightning, the thunder, the hail, the tarp, the painted red "T" on the stone markers - all of it - are amazing!
Looked intense the storms are gaining momentum like never before and out poles have started the shift soon we will start to see more worse storms than ever!
An orchestra of hail 🎼 Perfect for ice coffee! This was gorgeous and powerful. Thanks for aiming low and showing that bouncing hail! Way to go Tarp, Tripod and lichen covered rocks!
Lightning storms always get my attention when out in the backcountry And there’s nothing like a hailstorm to drown out your every thought Thanks for sharing your adventures
The nature of hail. It makes you feel a lot of things. I subscribe because the video is so cool. I am also doing camping RUclips in Korea and I subscribed to it because I fell in love with the video. I'll always cheer for you😀🙌👍🏻
Beautiful scenery the sky,the lake, the snow on the mountains ,wow thunder, lightning, hail ,wind and rain, the sound of the hail is like popping popcorn ,the storm was intense very scary, hope you all are ok stay safe
As an Australian, it's so weird hearing you describe 25 degrees as hot but, on the flip side, we find 10 degrees too cold here and I'm sure that's barely cold for you.
I live in the Arizona desert in the U.S., and for us, 25 degrees is quite pleasant! I think parts of Australia are far hotter than here though. We do get down to freezing in the winter overnight at times.
@getwthenewage4871 well, I live in the south of Australia, in Melbourne which generally is colder than Central and Northern Australia but even we get days of 45 Celsius (113 Fahrenheit) in the summer. I usually just stay in my air-conditioned home on those days.
@getwthenewage4871 Melbourne is only a little colder than Sydney and Perth during winter, just 3-5 degrees, but we get more cold days, winter is longer. And similar in summer but flipped, our hot days are just as hot but we don't have as many hot days. Not sure about the Outback (never travelled there), but yeah, I think it's super hot in summer.
I’m surprised you didn’t comment on the hailstones. When he said they were quite big I immediately thought about Australia and the huge hailstones you get over there.
Wow! Lightning, hail and rain! Incredible storm. The sound of the hail hitting your shelter sounds just like popcorn popping. The mosquitoe conditions there are very similar to summertime in Alaska
Brilliant Jarl, what a life saver having a tarp with you for those unexpected & unannounced thunderstorms, well prepared and quick thinking is what requires out in the bush. Thank you for posting and I look forward to watching your next video. Kind regards, Florin Sirbu
Yeah, I dont remember hail storms in the old days that much either when I was growing up. But for about the last three years we have gotten some dangerous hail, some as big as baseball's. I had several of those tarp supe garage in a box type things. One had a rubberized coating inside. The hail went clean through two of them. I figure the one under a giant maples leaves helped save it. Hail that big is dangerous. It would be good in my opinion to put a tarp over the tent.
@@NorwegianXplorer yeah, I'm 62 and I live in Michigan and I remember alot of storms. I live way out in the country. And over the years I have seen some bad weather. One time we had a storm come in so fast that we instantly out of the blue had gotten hit with 90 mph winds. And my daughters ran to our room . And within that 90mph constant wind we heard a whoom sound. We apparently had tornados everywhere. And then I heard tree limbs fall all over. I looked out the windows, and told my wife that we had a small tornado go over. The reason I knew that is that my friends cotton wood limbs were sitting in my yard and he lives a quarter mile away. Every road within 5, miles of us had trees across them. Luckily I worked for a tree service. And I had every road opened in no time. Many people burned wood too. Including my half fin neighbor. He used to always go fishing on the great lakes. But I didn't like the storms he would go out in.one time on his way to isle royale he had to turn around and come back to the south side. Because he ran into storms. Two boats following him one time sunk behind him somewhere. He had been communicating with them on the radio shortly before they went down. The water I think is like 42 degrees F. So it only takes them minutes to get hypothermia and go down.he spent much time up there. He even went over where the edmund Fitzgerald is and could see it with his sonar. I was surprised to see how many known ships had sunk on lake Huron. I remember being out on Huron off Oscoda watching nuclear bombers going and coming all the time from wurtsmith airforce base. They would travel to near Russia and back I heard and saw how gigantic they were all the time that I was out there and seen the black smoke come from them not sure if they were b52 or b1
One of the nicest summer camping videos, with actual winter weather :) I have watched you camp under extremely harsh conditions, and rarely have I seen such a worried expression on your face...
Wow Jarl! You really hiked into one heck of a storm! The hail hitting your tarp and bouncing on the ground sounded and looked like popcorn. Or maybe it looked more like hominy. 🤔 With a sky full of buckets of hail and swarms of mosquitoes many a hiker would have turned back. I myself have turned back on a backpacking adventure due to maddening mosquito attacks. And I did experience light hail at night while camped below Glen Pass in Kings Canyon National Park. I did the loop. I believe you have done this loop also. And I had a bear experience similar to what you had!
Absolutely spectacular Images ! The big dark cloud. The white cotton cumulus cloud. The lightning (min. 8.38). The curtain of rain falling out of the clouds. The hail-balls jumping up as little ping-pong balls the noise of which exceeds the growling of thunder. What an adventure ! Highly scaring ! And you... all alone in the middle of "nowhere". Thank you so much for filming all this. You had a little fear, didn't you ? Quite normal. And luckily, Jarl, you survived it.... 😞 😆 💚 (didn't you experience a similar thunder storm in the summer 2022 ??) Looking forward to your next adventures !!
I love the sights & sounds of a thunderstorm. Your videos are absolutely amazing. I live vicariously through you as I physically cannot make the treks. Stay safe & blessings to you.
You are the best thank you for all your videos Your videos of the actual storm are very appealing Thank you for your hard work and dedication 😊 They are all very entertaining and soothing
👋Hi there Norwegian Xplorer, Another wonderful video shared. Always thrilling, exciting & enjoyable! The wild weather "adds" to the adventure, although the weather was so merciless here. Glad to see that you dealt with it so well. I'm slowly catching up on all your videos, one by one, but will take me a few days to watch all. Tusen takk for sharing.🙏
Whoa, that storm is a beauty. I have lived in New England (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine) USA, my entire life and have never seen hail that large. Scary is a very good word. Looking forward to Part 2. Stay safe and dry.
@@juditate111 Well, you're more than twice my age, so it doesn't make any sense. I'm not 50 yrs old yet, but I've seen hail here (I don't use those disrespectful colonial terms of state colonies, to me it's the land of the dawn; Wabanaki Indian territory) worse than this. If you're actually only half my age, not twice, I'd still be a little surprised. Over 100 though, of course I know that can't be so. There's been more hail storms during my folks times that doubt were worse than this too, so. I might have believed you, if you claimed to be a teenager. It has been a little while, so that might actually be possible. I guess I'll never know since you don't want to say, oh well.
1st time on your channel. Love the video. Thought it was super funny that you refer to that as "big hail". That was cute. Will check out more! Take care - from Texas
I think that was a little more snow than you asked for, wow! So incredibly beautiful- and equally dangerous. Without the fieldcraft, skills, experience and stamina that you have to walk through that deep snow, it would be easy to die in those conditions. Thank you for taking me with you!😊
I love storms, but I fear lightning. What a unique looking area you were hiking through with the stones stacked upon each other and the interesting looking landscape. I can't think of anywhere here in the US I have hiked that looks anything like that. Very beautiful country. Thank you for sharing this for those of us who don't live there.
Yeah, I hear what your saying. Summer before last lightning hit a fiberglass radio antenna at my place. It not only melted the fiberglass antenna and it fell over. But it blew a hole in the ground as big around as a basket ball. It was a good thing I had an 8 ft. Ground rod at the base of it. It took out several thousand dollars worth of equipment in the house still. The worst lightning damage to a tree I had ever seen was on a huge cottonwood tree. When I used to hunt I remembered this good area by a huge cottonwood tree. Then one time I went to find that spot. I would always look up high because they get huge. Well I ran onto debris starting at over 100 yards from it. Pieces of cottonwood tree. When I found it, this huge cottonwood tree had been reduced from probabbly at least 95ft. Or so down to about a 15 ft. Stump. Cottonwood trees are so full of water that it just exploded it. That is why i stay away from them if I'm in the woods. I have seen people cut them down before and it looked like someone turned on a water faucet. I knew of one that was hit at least 4 times, it finally died. The big one that blew up was probabbly 5 ft. Across at the bottom. Our water table here is real high most the time too though. Most times I could dig 3-4 ft. And the hole will fill.
Man I've been on the fence with regards to a tarp as an additional shelter....not any more. How you used it was the exact way I envisioned using it. A tent is not so great when you just need to keep dry for an hour or so. Theres more than enough room for a friend. Thanks for the effort. I look forward to the continuation.
What an unexpected experience! wow!! Huge hail and lightning! A harrowing time for you. Probably not a fun hike for you. Thank you for sharing with us. One never knows when something like this can come upon the day! Happy you made it out in one piece! Blessings.
@@NorwegianXplorer Ah, I can understand your enjoying it. A new experience and you were protected under the tarp. Glad you shared it with the world - we all get to see it with you - in the comforts of home with coffee. LOLOL Looking forward to the coming days on this GREAT 14 day camping trip!
Wow, what an incredible adventure! It's truly inspiring to see your quick thinking and resourcefulness when faced with unexpected challenges like a massive hailstorm. Taking shelter under a tarp was a brilliant idea, and it's a testament to your survival skills and adaptability. Your videos always showcase the raw beauty and power of nature, reminding us to appreciate and respect its forces. Keep up the amazing work, and stay safe out there on your thrilling expeditions!
I open Chrome. Chrome asks: Reopen last session? I say yes. Your RUclips video appears. I think I fell asleep like a baby watching this, sounds are wonderful :D
Looks like a good time for a cup of iced coffee. I see a few storms like that. Hail six or so inches deep. It is scary. Very close to a tornado. That hail falls from about 25 to 30,000 meters. Rock and roll. Great tarp to stand that abuse. Lay low in the rocks. I had a bolt of lightning strike about 15 meters from me. It burnt a hole a couple feet deep and set the ground on fire. My hair stood up from the static electricity in the air. US 60 western New Mexico, Socorro., USA
Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure, but what a start. Hail is the worst, get quite a bit of it here in Wales and with high winds it really hurts. Hope the weather improves for the rest of your trip.
I have a Napier camo truck tent ⛺⛺, get it set up cuz that's what the kid wanted to do was camp out in the truck. First couple nights everything was just fine. Then here come 50 mile an hour winds an almost a foot of Snow!!!! Queen-size sleeping bag full size air mattress that fits the bed of a truck. 12 volt electric blanket, it took 4 days before we could take it Down. !!!! I was expecting it to be ripped to pieces, Napier producers are really good product!!!!
Holy smokes! That was scary watching, I couldn't imagine what it must've been like to be actually in that hail and lightning storm! Stay safe out there! 😮
First time watching your video. It was scary for sure and it looked so cold. Glad you were safe. Look forward to watching more of your videos......Subscribed Many Blessings.......Sandy
i had a similar experience about 15 years ago on Long's Peak in Colorado - caught in a thunderstorm in the 'Boulder field' at about 12,500 ft elevation. We didn't have time to setup much protection so just huddled as best we could amongst the rocks. There was heavy hail and lightening all around us. ! It lasted about 20 minutes and was very frightening - about the longest 20 minutes I have experienced!

You give us something special, brother.
Thank you, appreciate you saying that!
Can't wait for the other parts. 🌧️
Coming soon!
Nice view ....it's looks paradise ❤️
Yes, thanks
Must have been more scary the longer it went on. @12:30 - with a little imagination, it looks and sounds like the ground is making white popcorn.
Yes, exactly! quite the sound!
Wow! That was awesome! It would have scared the bejeebers out of me. Can’t wait to see the rest.
Thanks Susan!
watching from Philippines 💯🇵🇭
Cool, thanks!
Luckily your tent is hailproof otherwuse you're in big trouble. Good adventure 🎉
Thank you!
Wow. This is actually really cool! Please stay safe 💜
Thank you!
Oh shit! Incredible storm footage!
Thank you:-)
Another amazing video. That’s a top quality tarp right there!
It really is!
Waoo bagus sekali kawan..pemandangannya indahnya sangat sejuk suasana yang ada di situ kawan ...salam sahabat dari Indonesia 👍 🇮🇩
Thank you and welcome!
So beautiful. Also a great review for that tripod 😂
Haha, indeed, serves many purposes!
Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure, but what a start. Hail is the worst, get quite a bit of it here in Wales and with high winds it really hurts. Hope the weather improves for the rest of your trip.
Thank you, gonna be a lot more bad weather in this series lol
I have a Napier camo truck tent ⛺⛺, get it set up cuz that's what the kid wanted to do was camp out in the truck. First couple nights everything was just fine. Then here come 50 mile an hour winds an almost a foot of Snow!!!! Queen-size sleeping bag full size air mattress that fits the bed of a truck. 12 volt electric blanket, it took 4 days before we could take it Down. !!!! I was expecting it to be ripped to pieces, Napier producers are really good product!!!!
Cool, never heard of Napier but sounds like quite an adventure, I should have filmed it:-)
Brilliant video as usual...greetings from Northern Ireland...we get these types of summer as well😂
Thank you Stephen!
Holy smokes! That was scary watching, I couldn't imagine what it must've been like to be actually in that hail and lightning storm! Stay safe out there! 😮
Always, thank you!
Wow that’d even be big hail for the US Midwest! The heat builds up to incredible storms. Happy July!
Same to you!
First time watching your video. It was scary for sure and it looked so cold. Glad you were safe. Look forward to watching more of your videos......Subscribed
Many Blessings.......Sandy
Thanks for the sub Sandy!
i had a similar experience about 15 years ago on Long's Peak in Colorado - caught in a thunderstorm in the 'Boulder field' at about 12,500 ft elevation. We didn't have time to setup much protection so just huddled as best we could amongst the rocks. There was heavy hail and lightening all around us. ! It lasted about 20 minutes and was very frightening - about the longest 20 minutes I have experienced!
Scary stuff, luckily I bring the tarp for occasions like this
Gorgeous landscape, like watching storm, but not from a light tent. Would prefer the van.
Fair enough!
🫢🫣 HOLY Moses my friend !!!
Thankful the tarp held up n the hail. Hailstones destroy.
Wow. Crazy !!!
👍🙏🌩️⛈️🌨️🥴❤️
TJ
