    I'm asking for prayers 🙏 for my 10 year old granddaughter who's having back surgery on March 10th for scoliosis. Thanks ❤️

      I'll be praying for your granddaughter safe surgery and fast recovery. I'll also be surgeon hands,nurses, and the anesthesiologists to be all during the surgery.

    I am loving these vlogs! When I was younger I absolutely loved winter time. Where I live in the mountains in Virginia, we used to get tons of snow in winter. Now that I’m older and have had multiple traumas happen to my body that have caused arthritis, I despise being cold. But I’m loving the views! Chris your drone shots are always amazingly well done! Haven’t seen the part about sliding down the hill in the van yet but I know how scary that is cause I’ve done it myself many times in my life. Hopefully y’all are okay and not too traumatized by it. So excited for the rest of this trip, as always, living vicariously through the Inghams😝

    Hi guys, wow 😮amazing it was so lovely seeing the children sledging I used to love sledging when I was younger in the late 70’s early 80’s when we had lots of snow. It really scared me when you driving on those roads I couldn’t of done it I think your amazing driving in those conditions mind you like you say we aren’t used to it in the UK. Glad your having a wonderful time. The views and what your seeing and experiencing is absolutely amazing loving these videos Thankyou for sharing your travels 💗💙love you all take care xxx

    I live in Michigan in the USA and our winters are like this every year... Its so pretty after a fresh snowfall ❤❤ But I hardly ever drive anywhere when the roads look like this... Too many crazies on the road who think they can still go 50 mph on icy, snowy roads.

  • @jcclfruitofthespirit
    @jcclfruitofthespirit Před rokem

    It's a military type utility shovel. I have one. It's meant to help you while roughing it in the wilderness. Digging holes for a restroom, firepits. It should have a camping knife and wood saw in the handle too. I'd recommend a sturdy winter shovel and ice chipper. You can melt snow to drink but run it through a larq filter or equivalent first. Best trip ever

  • @christine-666
    @christine-666 Před rokem +4

    Chris... as a Canadian who literally has less snow than you, your shovel made me laugh. For safety reasons I would suggest getting a real snow shovel and just bungee strapping it to your ladder. Please drive safe my stomach was doing flip-flops the whole time worried about black ice for you guys.

    I hate slippery roads:( glad you got down safe:) Norway is amazingly beautiful. GEIRANGER is å place you should look up one day, you dont regret it. It's the place that had a massive rock/maountain fall into the water and made a huge tsunami that ruined a lot of peoples Lifes :( many many years ago. It is a movie called BØLGEN it's Norwegian, but that is what happened.

    @ironfan6452 Před rokem

    i am curious, Brittain gets cold wether and snow like Norway does, but do you guys not change your tires? we have winter tiers and summer ones, and change between seasons. almoust a law that you have to. probably why they were confused of people going by with no chains on their tiers, they have winter tiers with bigger pattern and often spikes to have better grip on ice and snow. just wondereing because its cuite obvious for us Norwegians to do this, but is it something not every cold country does?

    • @halfbaker1402
      @halfbaker1402 Před rokem +7

      There is a difference between snow rated tyres and proper winter tyres. You really do need winter tires for driving conditions like these. The all season snow rated tyres really don’t work well , when it goes below relatively low temperatures

  • @IsitMe65
    @IsitMe65 Před rokem +1

    In north Idaho when it snows like that you put tires with studs on them. It’s like small metal pins built into the rubber of the tire so they grip ice and snow. We leave them on from November until April!

    All cars must have snow tryes on they have a certain depth and from December to March it's the law don't think alot of people have chains though .In Sweden we have to snow tyres on from October to march...Also watch out for Elk , Moose and Deer on the roads .

  • @CoreyAnneTeacher
    @CoreyAnneTeacher Před rokem +1

    If you are concerned about the van possibly rolling or sliding when parked they do make wedges/blocks that you can put behind/in front of your wheels after you have parked that would make it nearly impossible for the van to roll. You can purchase them in pretty much any store that sells camping/caravan supplies. I have seen people in big motor homes that use them so I would assume they would work just as well for the van.

    You just keep the snow chains on the van tires, and it will stop the van from moving. Just looked it up.
    Yes, I'm the same. I wouldn't sleep if I was in a van facing water or a cliff.
    It looks amazing and so beautiful, but I'm glad when we get in it in the uk. When it's gone, it's gone
