Looks like an all around cold experience 🥶🥶. 66 comments and 2.2k views in 4 days....not bad at all. So glad you stuck with it. Greetings from London!!
Lots of cold exposure for years! Plus staying within a forest,, out of the wind and sitting directly next to the fire. Otherwise it would be another story!!! Keeping the camera alive etc was harder than keeping myself alive. Thanks for watching.
for your feet i would try some decent military surplus boots but make sure size is a bit bigger then wear two pairs of socks, one thicker than the other but both pairs as 100% wool
Best thing I've found for cold toes are chemical hand warmer packs. Stick one under the toes and they'll be toasty for as long as the hand warmer works.
Foook that, rather you than me!😅But I imagine it's a mighty sense of achievement... for what it's worth 🤣 Unsure of other good winter shoes but I've got some of those Polyver boots, basically overpriced rubber that are filled with air, but they do work well. There's a cheaper version from Engelsons which Ash has recently switched too and they seem a bit more robust, think they were about 700 sek.
Yeah pretty painful! I won’t be doing it again for a little while… Boots yeah they are all terrible . For long exposure and working in they all seem to fall apart. The “winter” boots anyhow. Thanks for watching and I hope your both well
Cheapest thermals you can buy (cotton) not great at all! T-shirt, shirt , base layer jacket and lumber jack padded dickies jacket. Cheapest long John thermals (cotton) , trousers and then another pair of thick work trousers. Two pairs of thick socks and terrible gummy/welly boots. All in all a very bad set of clothes to be wearing for such a challenge… but I’ve got what I’ve got unfortunately. I would recommend never leaving the side of the fire even if your wearing actual professional gear. Tip of my nose and one of my little toes had some bad issues after this and I got slightly concerned at one point. Keeping the camera and batteries from freezing was my main issue though as I was only attempting it to film the process. If I were to spend more time planning and just doing it for fun and /or comfort I would definitely be building a shelter before hand and having a large stock of wood etc.
@@thenordskov blimmin heck that's a gnarly challenge wearing such clothing. SVT says there was a 44 degree temperature change in 24 hours in Norrbotten yesterday. from -44 to 0. It's gonna be tropical tomorrow so hopefully you'll warm up.
@@cliffrichard5086 yeah only -10 here this morning. Hope it does go up for a little bit… still struggling to walk.. would of been nice if this video had done better! Haha well worth it!! Have a good one sir
Why don’t you try recycled, fur? And put that in your boots.“ Recycled fur inside your gloves. Get a sewing kit turn gloves inside out and socks saw the fur in. Down, wool and fur is your best bet. Purchase boots slightly bigger and layer socks. You want to layer with cotton too, as cottons absorbs, dampness. Also fabrics with silk in are very good for the warmer days. To regulate heat. But still layer. This can make any boot better. Also you can add thermal insoles to help. X
Not even if you collect it from the ground? I find natural products better than fibre, plastic fleeces products even if there recycled, synthetics. I always think it’s better to recycle natural products personally.. but each to their own. I guess as long as you’re keeping warm. No worries, I was trying to be helpful 😊
@katiefrew3139 there are zero second hand shops anywhere near me so opportunity is pretty grim on getting hold of stuff. Cheers understand that.* nothing on the ground during the heavy snow period - moss collection etc would be ok in the warmer months
Ahh I see, think I was thinking if maybe someone could send you something. Well I hope you get some nice new boots to keep your feet warm, then we can see you do more of the crazy nights in the snow without your feet freezing haha.
@@katiefrew3139 I’ll get other boots. Just wanted some other ideas as I’ve gone through many different brands etc that are meant for below -50c and they last a few months and fall to bits. Problem really is that you need multiple pairs for all different tasks. A money pit as always!
If it’s -35 out, f or c, it’s perfectly acceptable to whinge about it, your lack of complaint makes me doubt that it gets colder than 5 or 10f lmao, must just all feel the same 😂
-35 and down to -38c . Yeah anything below -20c and it becomes very painful just being outside… still recovering , it was done/filmed on Thursday. Would be nice to do it in all the best gear one day but that might be a while yet! Haha. Thanks for watching and commenting
Didn’t have the time to prep or setup. Just needed a fire and fast. There also wasn’t an abundance of accessible wood so it was a case of anything will do. Obviously there are far better ways to have a setup and maintain heat etc but it was a spare of the moment camp as the temperature was only that low for one day. Either way it worked so hindsight of course there’s better ways… but it’s not a how to video. It all kind of goes out of the window when you have a couple hours light left and the temperatures are that low. You get four hours of light this time of year.You need the fire straight away. Thanks for watching anyway.
@@thenordskov it wasn't a criticism of what you we're doing, I understand being caught out were time is an issue but personally I would have added longer pieces length ways it would have made a big difference for you keeping warm. As I said my comment was not to pull you down in any way, more me trying to give my opinion and advice on how to keep warm. Have a good new year.👍🏻🇬🇪
@TheDavewatts no long or thick logs to use for a decent robust long lasting burner unfortunately. Not enough time or will to be digging in the snow. I agree a long Siberian would of been ideal … preferably full body length!!
Because the temperature was so low and I needed to get one built fast. The need for heat was greater than the need to spend even more time digging holes etc.
Not enough daylight hours to find and a lot of very deep snow to be digging around in to find enough and large enough fire wood.. plus the temperatures were brutal so it’s best to be by the fire as fast as possible. If I’d preset an area or taking supplies it would have been a different story

My wife complaining it's too cold at home. Just show her this video and says ok that not so cold finally
Haha excellent! Glad the videos become a useful tool. Thanks for watching and happy to help!
Looks like an all around cold experience 🥶🥶. 66 comments and 2.2k views in 4 days....not bad at all. So glad you stuck with it. Greetings from London!!
Thanks , yeah always good to test the boundaries of being ill prepared. Thanks for watching
Could feel the frostbite just watching it 🥶
Yeah my little toe might need cut off!
You are so resilient! I can't cope in minus temperatures even for a short while. Well done
Lots of cold exposure for years! Plus staying within a forest,, out of the wind and sitting directly next to the fire. Otherwise it would be another story!!! Keeping the camera alive etc was harder than keeping myself alive. Thanks for watching.
Mate, you must be hard as nails. I went for a jog this morning in - 1 tempreture, I thought I was going to die 😅
Haha that or dumb!! Or both!
for your feet i would try some decent military surplus boots but make sure size is a bit bigger then wear two pairs of socks, one thicker than the other but both pairs as 100% wool
Great video mate! Was Painful to watch haha, I'd defo like to experience it one day though!
Cheers, I’m sure you’ll get over to Scandinavia in ya van at some point??
Best thing I've found for cold toes are chemical hand warmer packs. Stick one under the toes and they'll be toasty for as long as the hand warmer works.
Yeah I’ve tried a few of those over the years but found them to be pretty unreliable and I can’t use them on a daily basis.
Mad! 🥶😂
Still cold!
@@thenordskov 🤣
@@sueb8270 not even joking. Think I’ve broken my internal radiator
@@thenordskov 😨
After watching that, I were left with a feeling of ... well, there he goes ... he's gone MAD!!
Haha! I went mad long ago and I’m fine with it haha. Thanks for watching sir
Always! Have a good one
@@adriaanroosza cheers, hope your well
I've heard good things about the Nokiaan Naali boots.
Oh yeah? Nice I’ll check them out, cheers
amazing video! deserves way more views
Thanks , and thanks for watching and commenting . Appreciated
Well, at least you had coffee in the morning!
Hahaha! The small things in life eh
You asked for recommendations on keeping your feet warm. I would say U.S. military Bunny Boots, you can find them online everywhere.
Thanks I’ll have a look
I wish you warmth haha, next time cook something on the fire 🔥?? X
Yeah trying to. Food? That’s cheating!
@@thenordskov😂
Oh, why is it cheating? You need soup on the fire. Wish I had a drone to send you a cuppa soup, in coming “soup drone.
@@katiefrew3139 haha just kidding, just made it stupidly hard. Only one night so not the biggest deal. Many go without food for much longer
@@katiefrew3139 awaiting the incoming drone
Foook that, rather you than me!😅But I imagine it's a mighty sense of achievement... for what it's worth 🤣
Unsure of other good winter shoes but I've got some of those Polyver boots, basically overpriced rubber that are filled with air, but they do work well. There's a cheaper version from Engelsons which Ash has recently switched too and they seem a bit more robust, think they were about 700 sek.
Yeah pretty painful! I won’t be doing it again for a little while… Boots yeah they are all terrible . For long exposure and working in they all seem to fall apart. The “winter” boots anyhow.

What kind of clothes/layers are you wearing here? Woolen stuff? Got cold watching this. Hardcore challenge! Congrats.
Cheapest thermals you can buy (cotton) not great at all! T-shirt, shirt , base layer jacket and lumber jack padded dickies jacket. Cheapest long John thermals (cotton) , trousers and then another pair of thick work trousers. Two pairs of thick socks and terrible gummy/welly boots.

Cheers, I’m aware. I have lived in cold climate countries for many years. I don’t use fur, second hand or not..

if nothing else, get some woolen soles to put in your shoes and then some knitted socks, woolen underwear (type longjohns and long armed shirt) 😃
Sorry I hate wool products! More so looking for boots that can withstand extreme winter conditions while still being a working boot.
Not the best fire lay to keep warm, Siberian log fire would keep you well warmer, tee pee fire's aren't really good for much.
Didn’t have the time to prep or setup. Just needed a fire and fast. There also wasn’t an abundance of accessible wood so it was a case of anything will do.

Imagine if you had lived a little bit more north in the village Björklund outside Arjeplog where the temperature went down to -52.9°C 🥶🥶🥶🌡
Yeah I wouldn’t attempt anything under -40c without proper kit. Considering I didn’t even take food!
Why you build a fire on snow? Its the worst way to do.
Because the temperature was so low and I needed to get one built fast. The need for heat was greater than the need to spend even more time digging holes etc.
why not make a big bonfire .. using big logs ..
Not enough daylight hours to find and a lot of very deep snow to be digging around in to find enough and large enough fire wood.. plus the temperatures were brutal so it’s best to be by the fire as fast as possible. If I’d preset an area or taking supplies it would have been a different story
