  • Starting the 2025 Arctic Winter Van Life Tour. Freezing Cold Temperatures as I prepare to hunker down & meet the first Snow Storm Camping on the Mountain Plateau. This is the 1st episode of my 3rd Winter living full time in my cozy luxury van in the arctic. There have been snow storms, hurricanes and blizzards in many parts of the country and as I spent some time getting the van serviced and fixing the glow plug issue I was a bit late to start so I missed a couple of massive blizzards in the van. But here we go, off to the north again!
    #vanlife #wintervanlife #freezingcold #snowstorm
    This is my complete last weeks of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. I Started in January & lived & survived through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from January to April, with snow storms, massive blizzards, extreme cold, extreme snowfall, slippery roads and some amazing winter beauty as well.
    I show you what I learned from my last extreme winter weeks in the van, and also ask you for your opinion and advice.

    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.

    Incredible resilience! Surviving your third winter of extreme van life and camping in freezing temperatures is truly admirable. Your ability to adapt and thrive in such challenging conditions is inspiring. The way you capture the anticipation of a snowstorm and the beauty of winter camping is simply amazing. Keep sharing your adventurous spirit with us! ❄️🚐🌨️

    People watch your videos because they can only dream to do what you are doing for real. There are people at home who are lonely, and you talk to them like you are a good friend. People want to escape to the freedom that you are experiencing. They can never do that. They have adopted you are their brave friend. They can live their exploring heart through you. The music is absolutely beautiful and so are you, sir.

    Hi Jarl! I can’t believe I finally caught one that you just loaded 1 hour ago. Snow loves you! In Great Lakes area and upstate NY they’re still getting snow I believe. Even snow thunder effect, I believe their forecasted 5-6 ft. We were lucky on Cape Cod SE MA. we got rain.

Nothing like you have there. Minus 16 is way too cold for me! I don't know how you stand it !!! It's beautiful but I wouldn't want to live there. Spectacular scenery!!! Safe travels and sending you good vibes from Ohio ❤️

    Wonderful images Jarl. Winter has come so quickly, it seems as if autumn is extremely short. And those temperatures, gosh! Glad that the problem with your glow plugs seems to have been resolved. We'll keep a close eye on that!! Really beautiful drone images of the area, beautiful colors. I love it! Accompanied by my absolute favorite song Brown Bear. When we were hiking in Sweden this summer, I played this song on my earbuds.The number fits so well into the landscape.
    You have decorated your campervan beautifully and cozy. Absolutely love those colourful blankets and pillows. And your slippers look cozy too😊 I'm curious to see how the snowstorm will develop. Stay safe and warm. Marinka

    I don't think you would cope well with our hot summers over here in Australia and I sure wouldn't cope well with your freezing cold winters. One has to admire your ability to live in such conditions.

    Hi Jarl, good to hear that the problem with the glow plugs has been solved. I asked earlier whether the glow plugs had been measured (properly). Technicians do not always want to replace the glow plugs, because carbon deposits sometimes make them difficult to remove and they can then break off. Marinka really likes your slippers.

    I enjoy your content so much that I leave it on all the time. It's always playing at my apartment in Dallas, Texas. I am a single dude. I spent years living in the Rocky Mountains. I know every location you've been to in the states, and you smile the same way I do when exploring the Yellowstone Teton area. Not really sure why I'm telling you all this. But I will happily donate to the channel. It's endlessly relaxing.
    Only critique would be to create more new music for music sequences. As a viewer you get used to the same tracks. They are good tracks, however. They capture the mystery of our earth.
    You've definitely dialed in on your editing, timing, framing, and even lighting and wardrobe.
    Love your stuff. You bring me happiness.
    I can't explain why, but this has been your best video. It's perfect in its simplicity. Concise and measured in art and sound and visual representation.

    We had a VW van in 1972 and when camping in the mountains, of course the motor wouldn't even turn over. So we put our single burner stove on the ground, on low and put it under the oil pan (metal one) and in a while the motor would start.

We have frosts even below -40... People insulate their cars with covers and heaters in the engine connect from the outlet... Happy New Season of Storms and snow up to your knees :-)
