How to Survive WINTER Van Life in FINLAND - No INSULATION- Low Budget
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- We have been living in a camper in Helsinki, Finland for the last 1 year. In this video we show you the reality of a van life in a low budget campervan in Scandinavia. We also will take you for a tour in our tiny house, including how we shower during the winter. By the end of the video you will notice why you shouldn't buy an Italian IVECO if you are living in Finland!
In Finnish below:
Retkeilyautossa asuminen Suomessa kesällä ja talvella. Mitä eroa näillä vuodenajoilla oikeasti on? Vai onko sillä vuodenajalla mitään merkitystä matkailuautoilijan näkökulmasta? Me asutaan vuoden ympäri tässä Iveco Dailyssa. Tässä meidän faktat ja haasteet vanlife-todellisuudesta Suomessa!
🔥The stove: Below is the affliated link to the stove we use which is made in Canda, and super well made 👌

I generally regard Finns as tough resilient people, but van life in northern Finland is something else entirely. Much respect.
They have a wooden stove. No resilience needed. 😅
I love how real you two are and actually show real life in a van. Not the glamorous bs you see all of UA-cam.
BTW that climbing gym looks awesome! I did winters like this for 3 years in Boulder, CO. I'm now in a truck camper.
Cheers
Thanks so much!! And a truck camper sounds awesome!
You both are a great and funny combo!😂
You guys are very smart. You are happy with everything, and you don’t need a lot. Actually you do have a lot, a lot of time for amazing adventures. You are very brave to live outside the cage :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Sailor is so funny 😂😂😂😂 … Peyman is the serious one and Sailor the funny one … great combo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The dishwashing bucket not for dishes
Sailor was so funny😂😂😂
Awesome little stove. And complete insulation is really a must have for winter RVing.
Yes indeed!
totally agree!
everyone happy for the nice couple
Excellent job to survive such a cold environment. Good luck guys.
I love this type of existence/paradigm, less insular, sensually orientated, a classically natural out-doors experience/life! Great attitude folks, enables 'one' to be grateful for all things in life. Thank you.
❤
What a beautiful and healthy pair! Ohh I wish I was young again! I think being In the cold that much gives you two beautiful skin.
Came up On My random UA-cam as I watch a few Van Lifers on a regular basis. I’m in Portland, Oregon.
Always wanted to go to Finland and Norway since I was a kid. So beautiful! So much nature.
Wow. thats intense living. Two people in such a small space with minus temperatures. The heart in the middle must be overflowing!
Nice to see u guys back on UA-cam brilliant vlog
Thank you 😊
Great video, showing everything we wanted to know. Brilliant, love you both ❤️
Most welocme and thank you for watching! 😊
You just came across and I must say that you both are very sympathetic 🙏and of course I will follow you from now on- btw waouw respect managing with this cold 🥶 see you in the next video - Terveisin from France 🥰
Welcome aboard! And thank you for your kind words 🙏
I really admire you dedication to live life the way you want it to be!!
As a Canadian i know the challenge that can come with living in a van in -30.
Thanks for the inspiration to both of you guys :)
most welcome and thank you for watching ❤
That is unique and exciting van life.
Great video...
Penman's sh#t coming from that latitude it's already frozen before it even reaches at the 🪣
😂😂😂😂
Thank you ❤
Great video. A thermo electric fan on top of the burner makes an amazing difference.
Thank you!Indeed we have the Thermo fan but since theplace is so small it dosen’t makes big difference. Since the whole van heats up really fast. But in bigger space those fans are game changer 😊
@@NomadsTrails Fair enough. I have found that when the burner is up like that (which is convenient) they keep your feet warmer and help stop condensation under the bed.However, just a suggestion.
Wow having a nice shower and enjoying the warmth at the climbing place then returning to the icebox van must be tough. I think i would depart Finland during the winter.
it is actually not that hard. because when the stove is on we have +25'c inside the Van above the stove level so all is good :)
Awesome 😊
Thanks 🤗
Your love story is the most beautiful of all this. Very inspiring...
Hi, thank you :). just wanted to mention NomadsTrails is manily foucused on adventure, outdoors and cycling, it is not really a drama love channel 😅
Hello from Norway! IThank you for this great video.....I had some cind of plans to visit Finland at some point. I was planning to do a full length video about testing winter tyres for Bisycles. ....... Should be that perfect conditions in winter time? Hehehe :-) 🙂
Go for it!
Excellent van. Don’t forget to buy some land for when age catches up
some land to put park the Van would be nice. let's see how it goes with this UA-cam revenues😂, at the moment it is impossible. but hopefully in the future.
Even your down time from cycling adventures at home is an adventure. Love it.🙌
Спасибо,было очень интересно!
If you're wondering how they don't die from carbon monoxide, go to @6:40.
Auton vessa, "pitää olla tarkka kun tähtää. 😁🤣👌🏻Car toilet, "you have to be careful when aiming. poop🤣 Oli mahtava tavata silloin 24.5 parkkipaikalla. Nyt mahtava seurata teidän retkiä ja elämää❤😊👍🏻
Looks like a lot of work.
Welcom good job
Hey Great Vid .hey when you're travelling Africa and other exotic places where do you Park the Iveco campervan?Also do you have to pay Storage fees for the camper while your away?Thankyou I enjoy your videos very informative aswell as inspiration. Thanks 😊
thank you for watching 😊, when we are on our adventures we park our van with our family. they been super kind to let us to do this
What about the classic diesel heater with several outputs? It could help to avoid freezing, right?
A little bit yes but that takes quite amount of diesel when you need to keep that running all the time.
Cool 😁
But .. Where are the bikes?
During the winter, they are spending time in much more warmer place than us 😂
Where did you get the stove and equipments like oven and water heater please. Do you have the website
The link is in description, I put it here as well:
cubicminiwoodstoves.com/collections/all?ref=zmm5zdf (affliated link) /Sailor
When are you gonna to South Africa
❤❤
diesel heater that takes about 200ml a hour of diesel is about 200€ and you be warm all day everyday.
that is indeed also a good additional. but we don't have space for it and love the wood stove. but in future van we might have one :)
I'm intrigued by the white brick you use in the stove and lasts for 6 hours.
Is it pure paraffin? What is its 'ingredients'?
Are these bricks only found in Finland?
Hi! It’s compressed wood and they are making it from different trees. You can also find it outside of Finland 😊
@@NomadsTrails Thanks for your reply.
I do use compressed wood logs but they don't last that long...
P. S: one great bonus you have, I guess, in living in Finland, is the freedom of parking almost anywhere without being disturbed. 🤞
How come you don't have a cheap diesel heater?
They provide instant heat are very efficient and provide no harmful emissions and remove moisture.
Tell me about it 😂 previous one got broken and fixing it in Finland always costs. Maybe for the next winter /Sailor
10:44 Imagine Peyman having a day where he has diarrhea. Oof :D All the little dots EVERYWHERE
It's okay, it's not like they cook their food right next to where he poops.
😅, Peyman had pretty bullet proof stomach so no worries 😁/ Peyman
3.40 This is REALLY Finnish humour....
😁🇫🇮
Make your live cosier and get a diesel heater 120 euro . Hadar
Kudos to both of you. You guys can take the cold. I can NOT. Also i drinks lots of water daily this will be issue for me. I am used to my modern living. I shower, eat and drink when i want with easy access and availability from our home. I can never do van or anything inside a vehicle. I love having space to walk and cooking etc.
What happened to your old van?
Let’s say it got to the end of the road 😂
this was hilariously uncomfortable. definitely didn't glamorize. too bad housing is not more affordable, eh?
it is not about the money, it is about the challenge. always the easy routes in life makes me regret why i didn't choose the challenging route. i have lived in home i know how it feels and i don't like it. i feel comfortable when i am uncomfortable. But this is how i ( Peyman) look at the life. Sailor likes a van with proper insulation as she mentioned in the video, but still she wanted to experience this. / Peyman
What’s the mileage on the Iveco?
Too much 😂
Mosquitoes are the biggest problem in Lapland, eat you alive, even in Rovaniemi.
Where are the bikes? And no bugs in summer?
Bikes are some times with us in the van and sometimes in storage and waiting for the next adventure since we have less space in the van. yes there is alots of mosquitos in the summer when we park in nature not in cities like Helsinki
Espero vivir toda mi vida en el Trópico, el frío SUCKS!!!
Cold sucks but experiencing it and surviving through it makes you mentally stronger 💪
No, heat and humid suck!!!! When it's cold you can put clothes on, and cozy up. When it's hot, even when you are naked, there's no relief. It's like hell, very uncomfortable. So speak for yourself!
Lol 💖💖💖
When I would poop like that, the sh*t would be everywhere, except where it should be, it think it would even be on the ceiling ;-)
😂 then you need to check your diet maybe
@@NomadsTrails Or my air pressure 😬
Why don't you go south in the winter instead like Spain, Italy or Greece?
Because Sailor works in Finland
Italian car lol . Italians don't understand what it's cold. The Pendolino trains in Finland are already pissed when it snows . Well, what does that mean in terms of cars. nothing is working
😅
Why don't you ship that Iveco to South Africa and park it on my property and base yourselves 30km from OR Tambo International Airport. The weather is a lot better, I have a camping bathroom with a proper toilet and shower.
thanks, but we like to explore Africa on bicyvle. but maybe one day 😊
😂 I heard IVECO añd thought of minibus taxis in our country 🇿🇦
Idiots. No insulation.
so when Peyman needs to poop, where does Sailor go while he does his business during the winter?
Peyman dosen't poop when sailor is at home 😂/ Peyman
good video❤I would suggest not to include Subtitle on the video. There is an option in UA-cam which automatically generate English subtitle. So please don't destroy the visuals by putting subtitles
thank you for the suggestion. we can do this in the next video ❤
Why live in a van without proper insulations and heating
Because money
If you are Close to Helsinki then you are not in the north of finland. Your south, keep it right
Keep listening better. I said “We are here in the North in Finland” not “ we are here in the North OF Finland”. So what we said means that Finland is in the north compared for example to rest of the Europe, not Northern part of Finland. We keep it always right, no need to just point out if you don’t understand what we say.
/Peyman
So you gave up cycling?
No 😊, as we mentioned on our video when ever we are in Finland, between our adventures we live in our Van 😊
@@NomadsTrails Ok, just that you said you had been living in it for the last year. I wasn't sure and thought maybe you had decided van life was preferable to bicycle life and moved on? Are your bikes in storage?
@@alexmorgan3435 for the last year we were doing diffrenet adventures including cycling in Africa for around 4 or 5 months a year. so the rest of the year we spend in our van. also we need a place to work on these videos. it is really hard to edit on the road. and other thing is from now on we do adventures challange by challange. and between these adventures we stay in our van and work on the content for you 😊
And what About toilet. Do you have one?
Did u watch the video? 😊
@@NomadsTrails Yes, of course. My apology, i m not native speaker and my English is not so skill. I undesrstand about peeing, but my question aim to "number two", if you know what I mean.
I am thinking about living in van too, but one of my greatest fears is about "number two" and private. So I am looking for inspiration
You find an inspiration in the video at point 9:18
@@NomadsTrails oh , thank you now I undestand :-)
. it's frozen 😅. . hi 😂. .
Get the rest of that van insulated.
not for this van. costs too much and van is not in a good shape. so that is the plan for future van :)
i see why you rather went to Africa :)
Lively to get a choutout from you
You guys are seriously not from Finland, you dont sound like Lauri from Hydraulic Press Channel. 😀😀
😂
Be careful. You might be like your mandarins.
😂
Time to upgrade to mercedes
Oh the money 💸 😂
@@NomadsTrails Patience and persistence
thats just disgusting why people dont buy a proper tolite , there so cheap .....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 buy short bus and you can do more lol
Cheap
Maybe because if you don’t have a place for that proper toilet, also that one is going to take space in the middle of the van 😂 and you couldn’t even fold it away.
Very nice... When you guys visit Germany, please don't hesitate to contact me. You guys are awesome!!!
thank you ❤
