- Surviving Winter Storm in a van! Heavy Snowstorm Winter Camping. Surviving the most Severe Blizzard of my Life. Winter Van Life Camping in Extreme Snow Storm & Hurricane. This was the worst blizzard I ever experienced in the van, Should have had a truck for this. The winds where up to hurricane force, and even though I was hunkered down and camped in between buildings, it was nearly tearing my van to shreds. I got a lot of trouble with snow leaking into the seams and joints of the van, the exhaust for the heater getting clogged up. A lot to handle and crazy extreme blizzard, snow storm and hurricane conditions. It was awesome to film!
I make coffee, talk about my heating system and cook egg and avocado burritos, and I wait for the plow truck to hopefully arrive so I can get out of there.
Part of the series:
Surviving my First Arctic Winter of Extreme Van Life. Solo in Hurricanes, Blizzards, Snow Storms & Camping in Extreme Cold Freezing Temperatures.
#vanlife #blizzard #snowstorm #survival #surviving #hurricane
My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Hakkapalitta studless Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in America - USA and Canada.

Surviving my 2nd Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping & Freezing Cold which includes:
This is my complete second winter of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. Starting in November I go through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from November 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 learn as I go from my second 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. I love the Wilderness! Email is under "For business inquiries", for general questions please comment on a video, I try to answer everyone.

Ù 1:24:14 😊
The best part of the video is that you drink coffee while you are in trouble. I am also drinking coffee at that moment.
Great coffee always right!
I am not drinking coffee but I'm switching to backup heating via generator because my Diesel heater sooted up and won't start. Seems like a fitting segue into watching this video.
Haha, indeed, good thing you have a backup. Is the sooting in the filter of the diesel heater?
Serious RESPECT for the level of strength that cross-country skiing required!!!!!!!
Thanks, it is part of everyday life here really

Your welcome. Some people forget to like to give you credit so that youtube can send it to more people. I relax a lot with your videos. Thank you
I just would like to give you a shout-out Jarl . You deserve praise for the wonderful job that you do to put out these amazing videos! You're so good at what you do, that's a fact. That snowstorm was so intense! You were mighty brave standing out into the open with those strong winds. I was afraid you were going to be blown away there for a minute! Glad you weren't in a tent, It could have been catastrophic!!! Weather can be so unpredictable sometimes. Safe travels to wherever the road takes you. Sending you positive vibes from Ohio ❤️
Thank you Rosa, I appreciate you doing this:-)
Thank you so much Sherry!!
I see jarl video i press play immediately lol. Never a dull moment!!!!!
Haha! Thank you my friend!!
Wish I was walking in that snow storm! Love these extreme weather videos❤
Thanks Janet, more to come!
Another great episode Jarl?? From skiing, blizzard to ice house inside the garage. That was all amazing. Thanks for enduring those conditions to share with us. Much appreciated!!!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend, it was a crazy storm!
I especially enjoyed the nice days of clear weather & the cross country skiing footage.
Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
Thanks Bill, so did I 😂
5 after midnight here. Sunday-12-May-2024.
I would’ve been inside that cabin with a fire going in the fireplace as soon as it got crazy like that. I was afraid for you. The ski videos were gorgeous. What a contrast!
Thank you!
Wow, brilliant ski footage! It's nice you can just climb a mountain near the area of the cabin and ski down the terrain. No need to worry about ski fees and hordes of tourists. Really enjoy your videos.
Thank you Claire, yes I am not a fan of resorts, it is great to climb these mountains here
Очень интересно смотреть на полярную погоду. 👍 я когда нибудь обязательно посещу вашу страну.
Thanks and welcome!
Absolutely awe-inspiring! Your ability to capture the raw intensity of the blizzard while maintaining such a calm presence is remarkable. The way you’ve documented the challenges of van life in extreme conditions not only educates but also entertains. It’s incredible to see how you handle everything from snow leaks to clogged exhausts with such resilience. Your adventures are a true testament to the spirit of exploration and adventure. Can’t wait to see where your van takes you next! Stay warm and safe out there. 👏🌨️🚐
Thank you so much my friend!!
My goodness! The wind whipping the snow through the air so fast, it almost looks like incredible special effects. Egg-Cheese-Avocado burritos, delicious 😋 🥚 🧀🥑 👌💯
Always a pleasure to watch your many adventures as you brave the elements. Thank you as always 🙏
Thank you so much!
Hi Jarl. Our little Artic bunny 🐰. I’m being funny. When I see the snow I think about white hares and ptarmigans (white snow birds) a game bird. Looking forward to this episode and all the snow. Hope all is well and you’re cooking good food tonight. Well here I go.
You will also see a Ptarmigan in this video:-)
Now I understand why my great grandparents left Norway and moved to the US...
Hehe, as long as they didnt move to Minnesota lol
That is crazy weather! Our worst winter storms always happen in April. I haven’t seen anything like this in decades and I sure wasn’t living in a van! Kudos to you!
Thank you, this was a bit much
Earth meets sky in your pictures. Fantastic! Perhaps the two are really, one.
Ouch! That has to hurt standing in that wind and snow blowing sideways! Sideways snow is the worst! Fantastic, scary video! 😊
Thank you:-)
I love your videos, they calm me. You're absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
Thank you so much Wayne, glad you find them calming!
Thanks for the video! Tip: Steamed greens are much healthier and nutrient dense than raw greens! I throw them in with oil and garlic for a couple minutes and add to any meal. I feel the difference in vitality compared to raw; studies have proved the same thing! Try it 😊
Sounds great!
I am shaking my head wondering how you can like be normal in the extreme conditions you’re an absolute awe inspiring and brave beyond normal I can’t find that one where you were next to the ocean and a storm or Norwegian storm was coming omg I loved how u kept say I’m going to move when it gets bad haha I’d had packed up n left after reading that forecast X
Haha, thank you so much Samuel!
I don't think I have ever witnessed such a strong snow 🌨️ storm of this magnitude. The magnanimous beauty and power of nature is indeed impressive.
Safe travels friend, Blessings from Brooklyn NY
SOLID 💪 EPISODE AS ANTICIPATED, Outstanding footage from a exceptionally skilled cameraman, Chef and overall GREAT human being #RESPECT we will be signing up for the membership by months end
The trek the 3 of you went on across that beautiful landscape was EPIC #TheUltimateSkiTrip
Thank you so much my friend, and welcome as a member anytime you like, really appreciate your kind comments!
iba a dormir y descubri tu canal y aca estoy terminando de ver esa gran tormenta y sintiendo todo lo que pasaba me recorde de una tormenta asi de grande que pase en Ushuaia hace unos años estaba trabajando por alla, bueno ya son las 4 am y creo que he disfrutado tanto esta aventura y creo que voy a soñar con esa tormenta, saludos desde muy lejos en Chile.
Greetings and thanks for watching!
Awesome as always Jarl! The ski outing footage was spectacular!!
Thanks my friend!
That is insane weather if something really want wrong it could have gonna O BOY thank u for the work u do
Crazy weather indeed
Wow! I would have been scared in that storm!😮
It was pretty bad!
Oh, my goodness, have you ever been to the American Southwest in September?? You will think back on this blizzard fondly when you are visiting there. I cannot wait to see those videos - you are absolutely amazing. I'm from Florida and it was 94 degrees F. here today. That doesn't compare to the September temperatures out west. Thank you so much! Becky W.
Yes I have been to the southwest in September, it can be rough so I will probably be up in Wyoming and Montana and work my way south weather premitting
@@NorwegianXplorer So looking forward to seeing your videos. Travel mercies for you!
Never skied, but I’d try, straight down as fast as I could go, I’d pass everyone screaming see ye at the HOSPITAL!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hehe!
Love to see you out skiing in those beautiful mountains! Nice to see you able to get out of your van for a bit. Great video as always!
Thanks 👍
Such a cool watch.Thanks. Nature is the King😊
Thanks my friend!
👋Hey there Norwegian Xplorer,
This was just brilliant, absolutely brilliant from start to finish!
The wild weather literally takes your breath away! lol I did experience this whilst visiting Norge during Winter this year. But, although super chilly for us, it was AMAZING!! And this was the exact reason, that we chose to visit during Winter, as we really wanted that wild Winter experience in the Northern Hemisphere.
I personally believe, that (if @ all possible) everyone should experience this even "once" in their lifetime. For us personally, it's been a truly unforgettable experience.
Tusen takk for putting all of these super videos together & for sharing your wee travel adventures across Norge & other Northern regions with we viewers.
Here's wishing you well.
Peace✌
Thank you always!
We use a hair dryer to unclog the vent if it has ice in it
Hairdryer might work
Enjoyed this again with the A/C on. Get out and live the mountains and all the beautiful views. Life begins outdoors and what a place to live it. Next time
Awesome, thank you my friend, hope you are well!
@@NorwegianXplorer going tommorow to schedule other knee replacement. Hopefully be well enough by Sept to catch up out west. I need to see some mountains
That would be cool, keep me posted my friend!
Great video! Hunkering down in the blizzards are the best.
Agreed Sandy!
Your pictures are an experience to behold.
Thank you!
Hello my friend, how are you doing?woooow, the snow is so beautiful much 💞💞
Im good, Thank you Jojo!
Amazing ski filming. It's beautiful there. Thanks for another great video! ❄️
Thank you very much!
Just crazy winter weather! Love the video and enthusiasm...be safe!
Thank you! You too!
Heyy Jarl beautiful scenery, you were having fun skiing, wow that was some crazy weather the snow and wind I was praying for you and the van, stay safe out there
Thanks so much Sonia!
These pictures make Earth look like it is the only, plane or planet. And all peoples' eyes see the same skies on a never ending Earth.
Perfecto cuántas ganas de sentir un clima así, en mi ciudad valles s.l.p. México la temperatura máxima está semana fue de 56°, buenos videos interesantes hombre vs naturaleza
Oh wow, that is insane!
Hi from Canada.Beautiful view.Thanks for sharing the video.
Thanks for visiting
Your videos are very uplifting my friend and those mini pizzas are inspiring each time I see you eat them you make me hungry for pizza Norway and sweeden are such beautiful places and you have shown me that in your fab videos I've been watching your chanel now for months a big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you so much 🤗 I am so glad you found my channel!
Your welcome 👍🙂💯
Thanks for letting us join you for this wonderful event. I love blizzards ! I've fallen asleep 4 times since you started filming this storm. The sounds of blizzards, rain storms and the like are a trip back to my childhood (70 years ago). The only thing missing is the "howling" and "whistling" the sound the wind would make in the eaves of our house on a hill next to the lake in Northern Wisconsin. Loads of fun. My brother Bill and I would go outside and "play" in these storms. We'd have on so much warm clothes we could hardly walk. Or I should say "waddle" ??!!
Thankyou so much for this episode.
My pleasure, thanks for watching my friend!
Those space heaters are surprisingly good, when used properly, in a small space.
Someone got me one for a Christmas present; at first I was skeptical. But it kept the room that I was in warm, costing surprisingly little.
At first I had heard so much bad about them. But once you know how to use them, it’s easy.
Yes, they are very functional!
What a contrast ! An idyllic skiing-party with friends vs. the nightmare of being stuck because of an extreme severe snowstorm and hurrycane. 1,5 m snow ! Not fun ! In your red tent that would be a catastrophy ! Strong black coffee makes it all more do-able, in spite of the initiallly freezing temperatures in the van. What a tasty avocado-wrap ! I also always admire your extended anorak-garderobe which keeps you as warm as possible when you go out, not only for testing the snow, ❄ but also to make a film, in that everlasting blizzard, in order to let us participate at your adventure. And with all that, you keep cool and.... smiling ! I admire your inner strenght ! Fantastic ! 😆
Thanks Regine!
I love your videos iv seen this one but it say its a longer one ❤ it stay save
Yes this is the full version, twice as long
We had one day like this in Lithuania too, had to sit in a parking lot waiting on road workers to push the snow for cars to pass, a few drivers were inpatient and got stuck in snow but nobody died so it was alright
Cool, Thanks for watching in Lithuania!
WoW beautiful super video gr
Thank you so much!
Nunca vi a neve de perto mas sou apaixonada por ela❤❤❤
Oh wow!
That was crazy glad you survived xx😊
It was quite intense yes! Thanks for watching!
That wind is crazy! Great video jarl!
Thanks Scott!
Really good drone work. Thanks.
Thanks Stephen!
Now THAT’S truly a fierce snowstorm. I admire your stoicism as the weather throws everything at you and the van. A pleasure to watch in the comfort of my own warm home! Stay safe and thank you for this.
Thank you kindly! It was quite fierce indeed!
Brilliant video you sir are a brave warrior
Thank you my friend!
I love this episode. With the storm, cooking, it's cozy.
Glad you enjoy it!
Clearly that's a Video Screen outside your van. :)
Hahaha, obviously!
Thank god for the 4k hdr i almost feel like im in there with you 😃
I am glad you noticed the HDR, I do all my videos in HDR, not many else do that
Wow ! I wouldn't be surprised if the snow blasted off your paint on the van.
One thing is sure, the van is clean after a storm like this, polished!
Wow, just wow! This was an awesome video. That wind was howling..this gave my insides a real jolt of excitement. I’m so glad I found your channel. I envy your adventurous spirit. Stay safe always my friend.✌️❤️🌬️🌨️
Awesome Janice, Thank you so much!
Hello Arctic Jarl🙋 I was just thinking about writing something to the jarl, how he is doing and lo and behold, there was another storm, snow, frosty freshness and the jarl on skis😃 Beautiful snow dunes and sun-drenched mountains.... Wonderful weather... 👍
Thank you my friend!
Norwegians are good skiers🙂 Eh, it’s a pity I’m not cutting with you🙂 I only use hunting skis in forests and swamps🙂
storm like turbulence shakes like on an airplane😃 Hold the hatches or the body will tear apart😆
In this weather you need to go with a good umbrella😆
Извини Ярл🙂 Не всегда на английском языке, получается выразить эмоции🙂 Переводчик вставляет не те слова и мысли🙂 Но я тебя понимаю
Another great video from one of the best accounts on CZcams
Glad you think so!
Hello from Denmark❤😄🌏
Hello there! Greeting🇩🇰
Wow, you guys must be in amazing shape! For those who have never tried it, cross country skiing is an aerobic nightmare for the unprepared! It never looks as hard as it actually is!
It is quite efficient when you get used to it, I have been doing it since I was 2 years old
@@NorwegianXplorer Like learning to jog long distance, I suppose... but easier on the joints!
You can slide forward with each step, so it is much faster than walking, downhill you can just let go and you will be down in a second.
@@NorwegianXplorer I tried it a few times for a few miles and it was exhausting! Maybe I'm just nt used to it. Downhill skiing is more my thing (lazy) but that eliminates everything but ski runs!
Ke gozada ❤
Thanks!
Thanks!have a coffee or beer on me my friend,Todd
Thank you so much Todd🙏
Hopefully spring is upon you now as I'm watching this on may 11th. @NorwegianXplorer
@@toddpatik8834 Yes, spring is here now, next week will be almost like summer
Yea it's been in the 60s and low 70s here.Tornado season though so that sucks but really worried about what's going on over there cause for the 1st time in my life and I'm 61 that I can remember the USA being on the state of heightened alert as now. It's a shit show.
@@toddpatik8834 Yeah I saw some videos from the tornadoes, very scary stuff
Perfect!
Thank you!!
Another excellent video. I love your van. I’m going to check out to see if there is a tour in your video collection.
Thanks! Oh there is, link in the info of this video to the playlist
@@NorwegianXplorer thank-you!!!
@@emmas1082 Enjoy!! Hope you stay around for more videos!
My friend when you come here in the fall you need to see Grand Teton national Park which borders Wyoming Utah Idaho .
Yes I will be going up that way to the Yellowstone area, will share a map of ideas soon
Did you watch my videos from the Yellowstone area from 3 years back? You can see the Grand Teton from where we went up into the Abasarokas here is the link to the long version czcams.com/video/h2ZqaqCyS48/video.html
@NorwegianXplorer I watched the 1 when you were in the Sahara Nevada mountains, but don't think I saw that 1. I could tell you some crazy things I've seen. As long as you put your personal protection 1st I think you'll have an awesome time. Snow comes early in those mountains ⛰️.
Yes we had snow in August on this trip lol
New subscriber here ❤ glad you are safe 🙏
Welcome! Hope you enjoy the videos!
April 4th? My birthday was April 3rd. Crazy to hear a blizzard in April. Its gets hot over here in Atlanta at this time.
Yes, it was mad!
Proper camping
Thanks!
One word. Yikes!!
Hehe!
Yeah, that Dometic window is absolute rubbish. Fancy not being 100% able to handle an arctic hurricane. Hahaha
Hahaha! Good point!
I live in Nevada.
Welcome
Cool, thank you!
Hallo mein Freund. Bist du wieder unterwegs ?
Ich liebe deine Videos. Vielen Dank dafür und weiterhin viel Spaß.
Gruß von dein Freund aus dem Norden.
Thank you! This was easter
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Jarl, how do you experience cold? To me, warmth is something that is radiant and stimulating, but I'm not exactly sure what cold is. Is it merely a lack of warmth which is painful for our body to experience, and at a point, not supportive of human life? I guess at a certain point too much heat is the same, (ie., not supportive of human life).
Anyway, your video adventures are something extremely rare to be found in this world. Amazing! Take care!
Thanks Mark, the cold can be amazing, but dangerous
Great Stuff, Admiration to you wonderful cinamatic work and survival and a Van Life Chef 😂 well done my friend.
Thank you so much🙏
Would have love to see this Live - Maybe in the future you'll do a Live Show. 👍
That would have been quite difficult I think, but thanks for the idea!
loved it thanks....it is amazing
Glad you liked it Robert!
Hi Jarl, you are crazy! It's a incredible video. Take care of you!
Thank you so very much!
Awesome video 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Cheryl!
Magnificent video :)
Thank you very much!
Mr. in between makes a fellow mean. ha.
Süper
Thanks!
I finished watching the video and Eurovision, I liked Ukraine and Norway. Let's see who wins. And I liked the video. this is super extreme ❤💪🥶
Thanks Igor!!
May I ask why not stay n one of those cabins ? N another question I’ve been wanting to ask is how do u ski upward without sliding backwards ? Clearly I’ve never skied b4.
I hope the Grey Warrior pulled through that one bless it. It’s been taking some serious severe hits lately with so many weather conditions. But I keep to prayer that u both remain n safety n healthy.
I so enjoy our times with our friend. Ur as amazing as these weather days Jarl. Thank u for letting us tag along n these adventures !!!
👍🙏❤️‼️
TJ
when the grey warrior is in trouble I stay with her:-) We put skins on our skis that prevent them from sliding, then we take those skins off when we ski downhill. Glad you enjoyed it dear friend🫶
@@NorwegianXplorer aaahhhh I see on the skies. Bless the Grey warrior ❤️
Indeed:-)
Watching your video of the most crazy snowstorm I've ever seen while it's 26 degrees celcius here at our place right now, what a contrast that is! Really beautiful footage of your ski adventures, absolutely amazing! I would love to do that some time!! Thank you for taking us on your journey. Stay safe Jarl. Cheers, Marinka
Thank you Marina!
🌹🌹🌹
Thanks!
Thanks!
snow wind cant ask for any more
Indeed!
A rechargeable battery powered heat gun would come in handy. Not electric in a sense with the charged battery for power. Melt the exhaust of the heater. Good for next year.
I would be a bit nervous to use that on the plastic/rubber cover
@@NorwegianXplorer hairdryer
G R A N D E !!
Gracias!
For theUS portion, will be hanging out with Joey? I hope!
Hehe, dont think so
Selamlar Elinize sağlık
Thanks!
Nice video! Hunnedalen? Sirdal?
Thanks, close! Sirdal yes!
👍👍👍
Thanks
Are those bonsi trees above the windows? Show them up close.
No, they are Ikea plastic plants lol
@@NorwegianXplorer 😆
Will you be in Colorado when you are traveling the western United States? I live in Colorado and I mentioned in another one of your videos to go to Ouray but I think you said you have been there. I don’t think you have ever mentioned your name before it would be nice to know. Safe travels to you.🙏🏻
I might touch the western parts of Colorado, maybe the Grand Junction area. My name is Jarl
Nice to meet you Jarl, thank you for sharing your traveling journeys
@@lindagonzales4559 Thanks for watching!
