Extreme Cold Start to Surviving 3rd Winter of Arctic Van Life, Waiting for Snow Storm Cozy Camping

- 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.

I really appreciate all your kind comments and I am really grateful to all of you!
How are you able to operate your drone in the sky while you are driving your van
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! ❄️🚐🌨️
Thank you!
Nothing better than cozy winter camping in a Van❄and surrounded by mountains ! I love it. Thx for sharing your story Jarl, you doing it absolutely right 🤗
Thank you so much!
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.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your comment!
One of the best quality videos with a great sound. I hope many people find your channel and subscribe to it.
Jarl has been feeling inspired lately, this is the main thing in creativity)
Me too, thank you a lot!
I love watching your videos while I'm all cozy in my bed.🔥😊💙🌬🌨❄️☃️
Thank you!
You’re living the best life! There’s so much to see in the world!!! Landscapes! The Horizon!
Thank you so much! I really love it!
Another adventure in the Norwegian winter wonderland. Your van seems so cozy and dependable driving on slippery, snowy roads.I love the milky bright sun in the orange sky. You capture your surroundings and make me feel like I'm right there with you. God bless, take care.
Thanks! 😃 Candy
I love your videos. So glad to see a new one!

Deine Videos lassen mich immer teilhaben an der tollen Atmosphäre! Dankeschön für die Aufnahmen, Deine wenigen Kommentare und Deinen Aufwand mit den Videos! Ich bin über Weihnachten für zweieinhalb Wochen (nur) mit meinem Van in Nordfinnland/Nordnorwegen unterwegs. Hoffentlich habe ich auch solch krasses Wetter!
Gute Reise weiterhin und viele Grüße aus Berlin! ❄️☃️🚐

@@NorwegianXplorer 😊👍🍀
I love your videos Have been following since last year , cheers from Boston
Thank you so much!
Thank you again for this nice video. I love winter en snow!
Great content with great music...thanks for bringing us along.
Really appreciate it!!
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.
That should be quite a show in upstate NY, they always have the best summer tires on winter surface videos lol
Hello Jarl .Im not sure what day it is where you are but it's Saturday here in the U.S. I think winter is officially here. It's cold with some snow flurries but nothing big. 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 ❤️
Thank you, we are 7-9 hours ahead of you:-)
Awesome
Was waiting for this
Winter storm ❤️
Congratulations
For your Utube &
Happy Thanksgiving 🎉
The van inside looks
Awesome Nice & gloomy
Thank you so much!
Great to see your well earned plaque on display. Season 3, happy days 😀
Thank you Brian!
Congratulations on your 100,000 subscriber plaque! Of we learned last year when the it was a white out and snow was blowing sideways so strongly! It was all blowing thru the vents or windows. Idk which or both.
Thank you!
Yes, another year, Van life loving it. Just finish thev7 hours video you posted. Keep the videos coming Jarl.❤😊
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Congrats on reaching 100K Jarl . Stay safe my friend.
Thank you John, thanks for tagging along with me through the years!

Thank you for watching!
Loving this video!
Thank you!
Amazing nature we should learn to take care of it better then we do ...Ty for another amazing video..
Thank you Lena
What I think we’ve all been waiting for !!
Thank you!
I remember driving along there two summers ago. It was an awesome experience but even better to see it in winter. Would love to get there sometime.
You should!
😂amazing man u are brilliant videos
Really appreciate your comment!
Looks out of this world 🌎 how beautiful and peaceful it looks..
Thank you!
So excited to watch ❤
Thank you!
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
Beautiful
Thank you!
I recommend getting a proper grillmask for cold weather to keep the engine at optimal temperature. Prolongs the engine health.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!
Beautiful video. I love the colors of the white of the snow on the mountains and the gorgeous coral/pink and dark purple/ blue sky. Such a pretty combination.
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.
Thanks again Jarl.
Thank you!
Awesome keep up the great work I look forward to watching your show takes me places I'm not able to go yahuah continue to keep you enjoy the journey traveling mercies. 🎉
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.
Thank you so much, really appreciate you saying this, I make the music myself so I only have so much time to get new stuff made since I do not spend a lot of time doing music any longer.
Nice to see you back in Norway I’ll be up there myself sooooon 🚐 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 … stunning views thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Hey Jarl, great start to the winter 2025 season, as always your photography and drone footage is absolutely stunning...i for one will be with you throughout the winter, keep up the good work my friend.. Neil.🫡✌️
Many thanks!
Mais um vídeo perfeito digno de cinema 😊
Thank you!
To feel the wild power of nature, it is enough to breathe with it.⛈️🌊🌪️
Indeed
Good evening Arctic_Jarl) Fans) Finally, Jarl's Van and icy adventures :-) It's moments like these that make life worth living... )
Indeed
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.
Haha, i have heard such stories!
Cheers my friend
Aloha!
its early freeze cold here in FL 🌨 it has a damp feel of snow ive not felt here since 2010. lots of 🌎 global added hunga tonga moisture waiting to fall..
im glad you had a safe trip & return. those plow sticks are sure high.. amazing it gets snow that high. also glad your glow plugs got taken care of 🚐 👍 stay safe out there 🙏💒
Thank you!
Unusually cold here Sunday Dec 1 2024 5 AM south of Boston in US. 25F with wind chill of 17F. Heating struggling running continuously but we have 2 big tanks that were just filled. I can’t imagine how cold it is in your van. No snow thank goodness but that could develop this week Wednesday thru Friday.
Weather all over the place!
Amazing !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
اني اتابعك من السعوديه تقدم محتوى جميل .
Thank you, greetings!
Sin nieve y con nieve son muy hermosas las vistas de Noruega, a decir de la dama de aquí 🤷🏽♂️.
Thank you!
Haha loved it all as usual and especially the ending … the snow storm hasn’t arrived as yet … which means next week’s may be full of extra great snow storms, adventures and cosy van time🤗 Congratulations too on the deserving award 🎉 Just FYI if it’s helpful, I cut my chicken thighs with sharp scissors straight into the pan.
Good Frosty Norwegian) Jarl needs to think about how to insulate the engine for the winter... The Italians make good cars, but in the winter in the Arctic this is no joke... 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 :-)
Thank you my friend
You have the cold temps and I have the snow here in Michigan lol! We’ve had nothing but lake effect snow here for 3 days and it’s not letting up anytime soon! Going skiing this evening 😊 after watching your video of course 😉
Enjoy!
❤❤❤...AMAZING!❤❤❤
Thank you!
Another top class video , i have the older version of this van, known in england ( and many other places ) as the citroen relay, it is a day van conversion and has been a great, reliable companion on my camping travels, though the lowest temps it has experienced are only around minus 5, not the extremes of yours.
Hi Jarl my friend...is this a new adventure or a compilation from 2024...stunning landscapes & scenery as always😁👍
New 👍
It is new indeed
Acompanhando seus vídeos aqui do Brasil🧡🧡🧡
Good to see you back.
Thank you!
I didn’t know how much I missed Norway in the icy white winter with a cool guy in a van until I saw this video. Love all your videos but winter time is epic to me. You are starting out with a bang, Jarl! Absolutely stunning videography as always. But gosh, it seems pretty darn cold for so early in the winter or am I wrong? Looking forward to winter season 3 in 2025. ❤
Your coverart is next lvl
Glad you think so!!
At the 1:35:20 mark you see those buildings/homes and wonder who lives there and what they do. It seems so desolate
Yeah, they are remote cabins and a lodge that is not open until later in winter
Wow i love the small watch tower on the mountain well i think its a watch tower the mountains look phenomenal with the snow from a birds eye view its some height your drone im getting myself a drone you have inspired me to video more of our world my uncle had a drone but he lost his in a forest of trees he got it back in the end i can imagine how cold it is were you are its boltic in great britain now and weve just had storm bert that was quite scary for some people 60mph winds and were in for another storm but i love a good storm specially the blizzards you cant meat looking out of your window at the snow falling down so cosy and i liked your rouring fire it made me ferl quite warm seeing you light that lol but minus 16 is quite cold we went into minus 1 last week i think it was wednesday evening love the sunrise in norway its very picturess but the ice can get like that here in GB its mainly black ice here and the frost can get really crisp 2 but i love winter i love crunchy grass and crunchy snow i love those raindeer orniments on your van wall very cosy as well as your pretty ball lights and not only that a good cup of coffee to start the day wins the day and sometimes an egg shake 2 eggs beat in a cup of fresh milk pure protine lol i will say your life is the best life of all ❤️🌲👍✋

Thank you so much! Really appreciate your comment!
Your welcome anytime enjoy your afternoon ❤️👍😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much my friend!!
Ohhh... nos acordamos que tenemos un pequeño consejito que pediste en video antepasado o inmediato anterior: aunque estás delgadito... 50% de verduras y 50% de todo lo que te gusta (tus famosos burritos de trigo). Esa mandarina está buena para los ponches de frutas con piquete(🍷🌡️🕺🏽) en 🎄. Saludos🙋🏽♂️
Thank you!
Here in America those “plow sticks” are called telephone poles..😋
Lol
God bless you Jarl
Fantastisk ❄️👌🙂
Tusen takk Stig!
@NorwegianXplorer 🙂👍
...................................... ! No words.
