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
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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 🥰
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.
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 :-) 🙂
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.
Hello! Great to find your videos! Could I ask what the parking situation is like for campervans in Helsinki? Any safety issues? Was thinking of parking somewhere in the outskirts of Helsinki and commute in to school in the center since I would imagine parking with a campervan near the center is not a practical possibility?
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.

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 😊
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?
@@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. 🤞
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
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
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!
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
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.
@@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.

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.
@@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 😊
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
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
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.
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. 😅

Awesome little stove. And complete insulation is really a must have for winter RVing.
Yes indeed!
totally agree!

Nice that you finished your van Laura! I think it is a very cool layout. I hope your back is fine. See you guys at Ristikko someday :)

Pedrooo! Thank you! Not the best one for a winter but enjoying it as it’s all cruelness 😆 and def. need to go climbing together again!

Nice to see u guys back on UA-cam brilliant vlog
Thank you 😊
everyone happy for the nice couple

I Love Your video and the two of you.
Just stumbled upon you, while searching for the stove.
And prompt subscribed.
Welcome aboard! 😊
Wow. thats intense living. Two people in such a small space with minus temperatures. The heart in the middle must be overflowing!
Great video. A thermo electric fan on top of the burner makes an amazing difference.

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
great movie, finally someone showed real life, I liked the part about hygiene the most, although there was still no info about showers
Thank you. Just watch the video in point 10:55 and we talk about the shower.
@@NomadsTrails thank you, I missed this part of the movie
Much respect.
Thank you ❤
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 😅
Awesome 😊
Thanks 🤗
Looks like a lot of work.
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
Спасибо,было очень интересно!
Cool 😁
But .. Where are the bikes?
During the winter, they are spending time in much more warmer place than us 😂
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.
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. 🤞
When are you gonna to South Africa
fullsize bed is all you need!
Welcom good job
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
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 :)
What happened to your old van?
Let’s say it got to the end of the road 😂
What’s the mileage on the Iveco?
Too much 😂
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
If you are Close to Helsinki then you are not in the north of finland. Your south, keep it right

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.

Make your live cosier and get a diesel heater 120 euro . Hadar
Why don't you go south in the winter instead like Spain, Italy or Greece?
Because Sailor works in Finland

not for this van. costs too much and van is not in a good shape. so that is the plan for future van :)
