- How do we survive winter van life? Eat healthier, get some Huel - jlinks.io/kingingithuel.
There are many problems with taking a renovated van into the winter - the arctic circle to be precise!
Living in a vehicle isn't always amazing, in this video we'll show you the realities of van life. The majority of the days we experience below freezing temperatures, extreme snow fall and lately extreme storm winds which have evidently broken our van literally into pieces.
Sub zero temperatures have got our water pipes frozen and have burst our heater heater pipe - so no shower or washing the dishes!
Temperatures have been as low as -22 and if it wasn't for our trusty diesel heater, we'd be snowmen.
Winter camping isn't for the faint hearted, there are many problems living off grid, we've watched everything break with a hope that tomorrow will be a better day!
Also did I mention, WE MADE IT TO NORWAY!!! The mountains are UNREAL!
Watch out for our mates @KaraandNate in this week's advert 😂😂

We have FINALLY made it to NORWAY lads!! 🇳🇴🇳🇴
SoSO beyond excited to be here and cannot wait to show you around!
Can we get a HELLS YEAH for completing the mission to the Arctic Circle?!🤘🤘🤘
Hells Yeah 🤘🏼💪🏼🤘🏼💪🏼
H 🏒🏒’s YEAHHHHH You guys are legends! Huge congratulations to you and Custard 🏆
HELLS YEAH - great job kids!!!! You two are just wonderful!!!
HELLS YEAH!!! Can’t wait to see what’s next. You guys are so much fun. Be safe. Enjoy you travels. 🚐☕️❄️❌⭕️
HELLS YEAH 🙌
CUSTARD HERE WE COME 💛💚 looooooved this video guys 😍❄️ proud of you for taking the plunge AGAIN 💪🏻
Loved the Cameo ✨💖✨
Thanks team, Custard was clean before you arrived, just remember that 😂
Loved the sponsorship ad haha ❤😂
Well done 🥂
That add was perfect 😂 I’ve never seen Nate out of his element like that! Love y’all! @karaandnate
Loved the Kara and Nate cameo on the commercial! Laughed out loud the whole time, especially when Kara pronounced "vitamins" like she was British. Can't wait for next week's video!
What is a teddy bear cover, looks amazing
I have to say that you guys bring your sponsor segments to a whole new level EVERY TIME!!! I never get bored and actually kind of look forward to seeing what you've concocted on every episode! Kudos for that...and also for making Kara and Nate ( especially Nate lol) be a part of your funny act today!!! Stay safe...and TOASTY :)
Omg I love it so much I’m thinking of buying 😂😂😂
their ads are the only ones i barely skip
Hearing Kara say "vit-a-mens" with a short "i" cracked me up.
having an ad like that makes your brain work and never forget what they showed you and what was the point of it 😆 they are awesome
I usually skip past them but then I saw Kara and Nate and watched the whole thing 😂
The only channel where I don't fast forward the commercials😊...
You both are so funny...not taking yourselves or life to serious, except for your adventures.. they are to be taken seriously! Love the contrast...
Love from the Netherlands!👍
Right…best ever
😂
Your channel is fab and you two are just amazing. You make every trip so interesting and make me want to go there. Watching another family of seven in a ‘tin can’ heading for Norway. Theirs looks a nightmare and they are nowhere as prepared as you two and all they seen to show is hours and hours of driving. Well that’s their normal on trips whereas you show us lots of interesting places and make it all such fun. Hope you have a wonderful time. Sending best wishes from Glasgow 🏴
It was so fun to see Custard drive by me last week several times. I was in Lofoten on a photography trip and I cruised right by you guys as you were heading North from Reine. I waved at you when I passed you again later in the day. Sorry to hear that things are breaking down. Hope your luck improves soon. Had such an amazing time in Norway. I hope you have enjoyed it as well. Keep the episodes coming and hang in there! :)
Aw Sorry if we missed you mate! Keeping our eyes no the prize - in other words the icy roads! haha hope you had a fabulous trip! Thank you 😊
@@kingingit you guys should get kitty litter for when you get stuck! Us Canadians keep some in our vehicles. Seems strange but it works! Also spinning the tires makes it worse. You gotta rock the vehicle back and forth and turn your wheel slightly when you go forward. Hope this helps!
Guys if you struggle to find camping spots and you're missing hot showers then you're more than welcome to stay at my campsite in Storfjord! I know most campsites are closed right now but we're still here and open and my polar pup misses having loads of guests over!! You've passed us already though, but the offer remains open if you take the road route rather than the ferry ride back up to mainland :)
I have been loving this series! Omg the ad with Kara/Nate 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for taking us along
Next week 🥳🥳
They were SUCH good tropper.. spoiler alert - everything goes VERY wrong 😆😆
I can’t believe you two don’t have your own TV travel show. Absolutely brilliant to watch 👍
Kara & Nate got me in the huel add. Hilarious 🤣🤣
😂 pair of comedians!
I get so excited to watch your videos. I can watch the old videos over and over and never get bored. I love you guys
Aw you absolute champion - thank you SO much for watching!!
Hey guys!
Was great to meet you 2 on the beach in Ramberg, right at the time you were filming your ice-bath. Watching this episode is bringing me back to that beach. Will keep watching your travels, because it‘s very entertaining to watch🙌
You two are always filled with infectious joy! Thank you for sharing it, along with this extraordinary adventure! Bravo!
Now that's a thumbnail! ❄ 🤯 ❄ Best part of my Sunday night is a new video from you guys to enjoy... Cheers 🖤
Bless your whole family!! haha takes us AGES to think of a bloody thumbnail every week - thanks for mentioning it! x
@@kingingit Oh yes..your thumbnails are works of art 🎨 !! just like both of your wonderful sense of wonder and humor 🥇Such a delightful Joy of Being you guys are blessed with.. that uplifts so many. We're sending you love and light from semi snowy California 🌅💓🎯
The ads are always entertaining to me and the fact that Kara and Nate were in one, *chef's kiss*
What I love about you two the most is that you haven’t changed a bit since the beginning! I’m still laughing at Craig saying that he nearly drilled a hole in his armpit & Aimee’s snake hips😂😂😂😂 xxx Thank you x
I literally spend my whole Sunday waiting for your weekly video to drop. It honestly makes my Sunday !
Aw Freddie - dont make us cry! You legend, thanks so much for watching!! ❤️❤️
Love your videos, I look forward to Sundays to watch Eamon & Bec then you guys later in the day. Now I’m super excited to see what you guys have in store for us next week with Kara and Nate. Would be something to see the six of you doing a van trip together. Have a fantastic time 🇨🇦
Hang an open umbrella from the roof. It catches the rain drips inside - then empty when you remember. I live on a leaky boat and it’s worked for the last four years for me! 🤣🤣
Honestly....you guys are hilarious. Especially the effort you put into your sponsor parts of the videos. I am chuckling the whole way through. And I love the way you see the humour and fun in eveything you do. It makes for great viewing.
Another amazing video, I cannot imagine looking out my window in the morning and seeing those mountains. I also cannot imagine doing a polar plunge😳😳😳Aimee I just watched your cancer journey video. It’s very touching and I thank you for being so open and vulnerable when you made that. I’m a stage four cancer survivor myself,non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and you’re right, talking to people who’ve gone through it helps a lot because they get it! I’m seven years out from my stem cell transplant and living life to the fullest😊 I’m glad that you are as well. Thank you for taking us along on your journeys you guys are the best!!!
I think my favorite part was Kara and Nate's Huel cameo 🤣😂 You guys are all truly brilliant. And from a cold climated Canadian, stay warm guys 🥶
We laughed so much at your icy swims! I bet you felt amazing after ! The only thing getting us through our cold outdoor showers is thinking if you guys can go in the sea in the artic circle, we can handle our cold showers in Wales 😅😅😅 loving this series! Come for a surf with us in Pembrey when you guys are back on Welsh soil xx
I have to say that watching you guys live life to the wildest and the fullest is one of the most inspirational things to watch on CZcams!
Thanks for the encouragement to not let what others say about van life scare you. Every time I tell my family my plans for RV life they think I’m crazy!
You two are a gift of pure happiness! Thank you for sharing your life and taking time to make it fun to watch! ❤❤
I have been so very, very down the past few days and for the first time In days I now have a smile on my face. You two humans are amazing I love what you do. What another fantastic video. Love to you both keep warm and be careful, but most of all have a blast!! Take care xx
OMG, the Kara & Nate cameo is hilarious
It's so great to see you are thriving on this snowy trip! Custard is a trooper!
You two are my favourite thing about Sunday. The scenery is just incredible, it looks like a trip of a lifetime. I hope I get to do this one day ❤
You guys are fabulous to watch. Esp love the creativity in your sponsored segments, keeps the viewer tuned in! Keep up the awesome content! Much love from Las Vegas 🌞💖
Ok I can't wait for next week video!!!
Safe travels!
Absolutely love love love your vlogs! We look for to your updates. You just make us laugh out load so much! Stay safe! xx
I genuinely love your winter series so much! You guys have an amazing balance of capturing the realistic but also the creative and cinematic! Thank you for doing something different! 🙌🏼
I love your videos, they always make me feel so happy! You give me my weekly dose of travel and I love it. Can't wait for next week with Kara and Nate!
Happy 2023! Stay safe out there!
Love you guys. Thanks for always being so entertaining.
I absolutely love you people 💖 I smile the whole time I'm watching...how can I truly thank-you both for Ruling Your Own World! I'm so excited to finish my bus in the spring ☺️ you guys keep me inspired to keep going❤️
I loved this week!! And I can’t wait for next week. I love when you get together with Kara and Nate!
Norway's Insane! So excited for you guys, glad you're having a unique time
You guys are great. Stay safe and warm 😊
You are literally the only ones that I don't skip during sponsor segments. Always looking forward seeing what you came up with this time. You make the ads-time so enjoyable, you guys are so creative and funny! We need background lore for all your characters lol! I also applaud your braveness for doing the polar plunges into the icy waters, yikes! Norway is absolutely stunning, can't wait for next week!
I love this cozy, slow-paced vlog. I'm in Calgary, Canada, so we are also in the long-nights season, which I absolutely LOVE. Especially with chronic illness, it has been such a treat to nap peacefully around 4pm when the sun is starting to set, rather than trying to get a nap in during the summer when it's so bright and noisy and hot! :)
Wicked vid, as always guys!!
Brilliant episode as usual 😊
You guys are so cheerful in the face of adversity!! Love that about you both. Laughed so much at Kara & Nate’s ad. So happy you were able to meet up and share an adventure! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Love you two, so much fun! Your commercials are so funny and creative. Your arctic adventure is beautiful and looks like so much fun. Thank you for all you do. Cant wait to see kara and Nate with you next week. 💕💕
HELLS YEAH you made it. Fabulous series. Stay safe and travel far x
Your videos are the most fun video i watch all week. I love them
YAYY for Custard making it to Norway! How beautiful is Lofoten, those magical short days 😂 I can remember how expensive the supermarkets were also hahahah
Had us giggling through the whole thing and can’t wait for the next Episode with Kara and Nate
❤
Your Sweden and Norway bus road trip has been my favorite van-life series I’ve ever seen! It has made me want to do this someday too! I absolutely adored the cozy vibes of this video and can’t wait for the next one hahaha it looks hilarious!! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Aww thank you! We both hope one day you get to experience it too! 🥹♥️
Awesome episode team, love the slow winter life, thanks for sharing x
I love your humor!! Great video! 💜
You two are too funny, watching you both every sunday is my weekly routine ❤️
You're the best!
@@kingingit 🥰🥰
Y’all’s videos are always so good especially when I get to the ADs. I found your channel from “Flying the nest” when y’all cycled across Europe. I can’t wait to watch the video next week with Kara and Nate. Keep up the good work.
I think a lot of us found Kinging It from following flying the nest 😁
I love watching you guys, you are so real and hilarious!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures!!!❤❤❤
You're one of the few channels that I actually look forward to watching each week. Great content! Thank you ☺
I was having a bit of Sunday evening blahs, and then I saw your video was posted and you raised my spirits enormously! I’m gonna have a bit of a Kinging-it binge until it’s time for bed! Thanks for the boost in my mental health, you dear people! (And you even dragged Kara and Nate into your ad shenanigans!). You two are the best! Though my kids now call me Trev, thanks to you…
hahaha no way! Well Trev, I hope you're feeling a bit lighter after a little binge. Tomorrow is a brand new day ❤️ get in that sea 😎
Thanks for always waiting for me coming back inside with my dog 😀 just the perfect timing. I thinkIn have to make myself a cup of tea, so I don’t start freezing 🥶 and thanks for always taking us on such beautiful trips, due to my chronic illness I’m not able to go on trips like that anymore. So thanks to you I feel like I’m going on adventures as well 😂❤Katy
Katharina, you are SO welcome. Please snog the dog for us! 🥰
@@kingingit I will do that. And sending you a dog kiss back 🐕🦺
Just found you guys a few videos ago and all I can say is Thank You ❤
I love you guys, you put a smile on my face. I actually felt cold when you went swimming! 😂
Having one of those days where my depression has the better of me and I can’t get out of bed. This video helped me smile today, so thank you💕
Hold on in there Sarah, you’re doing a great job, better days are coming x
Cuppa, snacks and the latest episode of custard....... perfect 🥰 you have both helped me loads with my mental health and giving me the courage to ask for help!! If your ever back in Scotland your more than welcome to join us paddleboarding 😁💕
You champion ❤️ We may be in Scotland sooner than expected.. watch this space! (which part are you in?) x
@@kingingit we stay in fife, hubby also owns a thermal trace heating company (surface heating systems) if you need some help keeping custards pipes thawed for your next winter adventure 💕
The smile you provide is crazy!! great video again guys hope your keeping well :)
I love your videos and sponsor breaks. So funny!
I always love videos I see on this channel because they are always energetic and full of adventure, adventures are always good for the mind it’s too bad that most times lack of finance makes them virtually impossible
That’s nice, most times to be successful in life we all need professional guidance and assistance, please tell me how this mr Robert guy helped you improve your financial situation
A word of advice to anyone here if you want to maximize your earnings start today! Don’t wait for the right time to save and invest later because the time to invest is now. I don’t know this guy but anyone that comes this highly recommended is worth giving a shot
How can I contact him
Thanks for the help, I’ll contact him immediately
Love you guys - you are so inspiring our future travel plans. Happy travels, have fun with Kara and Nate :)
I soo look forward to seeing your video every week. Keep up the work guys. Xx
Love the winging it with the food and making your own version!
Being inspired 😁
My wife and I have had our trip to Norway cancelled twice because of Covid so thanks for giving us this little freezing cold glimpse to hold us until we can get there for ourselves….sometime in the late Spring or summer! Another vid of stunning scenes and general mayhem per usual!
So sorry to hear this guys! It’ll be worth the wait, this place is absolutely stunning 😍
You are so funny and positive! Thanks for some great uploads from Sweden! 👍

Sunday evenings are much better since knowing you guys! Looking forward to next Sunday 😊

You two are so good natured about the difficulties.
You guys ALWAYS put a smile on my face and make my Sundays! Amie I love your little polar bear romper! It looks so warm and cozy, reminds me of something I had once (which I really need again) it was.a polar fleece (two piece) set that when I wore it, my husband called me "Max" from "Where the wild things are", haha. Stay safe you two!
