- This is a video about winter camping in Norway, Hardangervidda.
I made this video based on feedback from "Hilleberg Saitaris in Strong Winds + Epic Scenery".
This video contains more shots from the hike plus no music, only ambient sounds recorded on sight.
Hope you enjoy this video :)

Brilliant thank you. I loved the scenes showing the snow blowing across the landscape. Very dramatic. So glad you did not add music and left it raw and real.
Thanks, Lee 👌 I appreciate you leaving a comment 😃
Awesome video, thank you.
Superb. I live in Ireland, 68, bad back and knees from running too much like an elephant 😂, but I now so much want to add a trip like this to my bucket list. Thank you so much for posting this video ❤
Hi Alan 😃 It’s something that I really recommend. It doesn’t have to be extreme and you don’t have to walk for many hours to experience scenery like this. There’s a road crossing the Hardanger plateau (from east to west) so you can camp like this just outside of your car 👌
Brrrr🥶🥶!!….boy does that look cold !!
Great advert for Hilleberg tents though, looked very cosy in there👍
Another great video Hansen my friend and the bond and love that you and Vega share is fantastic to see ❤ love it 👍
Vega wasn’t so happy about the cold. We had to stop a few times to put her in the isolation bag during the hike - she’s definitely not a polar dog 😄 The Hilleberg tent performed great. I prefer to have a safe and sold tent on winter expeditions even though it’s a bit expensive.
Have to admit I'm very impressed with this footage and teamwork!
Thank you, Winstan 🙌 it was a cold, but great experience ❄️
Incredible landscape!
Awesome adventure and so glad to be a subscriber!
Thank you, Justin 🙌
That pot of steaming noodles would hit the spot after finally pitching shelter, laying out bed roll, changing into warm/dry wool later !! Yum 🤤 Thank you for sharing wind 💨 🧊
A warm meal after a day skiing is hard to beat 👌 Thanks for the comment, Kurt🤜
Nice video! Seeing the snow quality at around 6:37 gave me real pleasure, no kidding! l could see myself staking down the tent easily with that solid, perfect snow 😻It was very cute how you 'stored' your doggy out of the wind 💔Looking forward to your next upload! 😉
Thanks 🙏 It was a great experience.
My dog didn’t enjoy the weather the first two day. That’s why we chose to stay at the same place two days in a row.
Interesting question about the term blizzard. I became curious and had to look deeper into what defines a blizzard “Sustained wind or frequent gusts to 35 miles an hour or greater; and. Considerable falling and/or blowing snow”. According to the weather forecast, the winds were peaking at 62 miles an hour (28 m/s) and all of the roads were closed because of blowing snow. It fits the definition quite well then (for the first two days) - luckily for me ☺️ But yeah, it’s easy to exaggerate the title on YT. The next video is only 12 hours away 😃 Thanks for the comment 🙏
Superb video, you really get a good impression of what your tour was like. Wow, that Hilleberg tent looks bullet-proof. And you do a good job of looking after the dog 😁
Thank 🙌 The Saitaris is a bulletproof shelter, love it 👌
beautiful thank you :) ❤
Great teamwork guys, and very inspirational
Thanks, Russ 👌
Beautiful Video. Loved watching.
Thanks, Daniel 😃
I think the noises your dog makes says it all !! ;)
Lol 😄She wasn't so enthusiastic about the situation.
Just keep watching this one over and over. Great to see the H BL tent being erected in two separate conditions by people who know what they are doing.
Thanks 👌 It was great to test the Saitaris in harsh conditions. Inside the tent everything felt calm and relaxed, except for the noise, obviously.
Superb.
What a cool video.Thanks for sharing. The Hilleberg Tent looks very good Even in the bad weather. Hope to see more from your channel soon.
Takk for det min Danske venn 🙌 Man kan virkelig føle seg trygg og komfortabel uansett vær i et BL-telt fra Hilleberg 👌 Det blåste til tider svært mye. Veiene som krysser Hardangervidda var stengt og de fleste holdte seg innendørs 🤭 Ser du er mye på tur i Sverige, har du vurdert en vintertur i Norge? Det kan anbefales. Ta kontakt dersom du trenger noen tips 😉
@@HikingHansen hey.jeg har været meget på tur i Norge,men det var før jeg begyndte at lave YT videoer.Håber snart at komme tilbage til Verdens flotteste land.
@@EventyrsorenDenmark Da er det bare å planlegge neste tur til Norge. Kan anbefale Hardangervidda på langs på senvinteren eller rundt påsketider. Turen tar ca. en uke og alle strekningene er markert med kvister 👌
Your videos are pure art. Subscribed!
Thank you 🙏
Holy freezing 🥶 snowballs it looks cold 🥶!! Reminds me of growing up in Saskatchewan back in the '60s.
It wasn't too bad actually 😄Canada seems like a great place to hike 🌲
@@HikingHansen many thousands of kms to hike/explore ⛺️👨🦯
Hærlig 👌❄️🙂
Immediately subscribed. Epic adventure mate. Hello from Malaysia.
Thanks, Frosty 🙌
amazing!!!👍😎
Thank you, friend 😀
3 Dog Night. Man a great vid. You better know where you are going. Hilleberg are great. You life depends on your tent.
Thanks, Sam. I totally agree with you, Hilleberg tents are great 👌
I might have to buy one now. I hike a lot in the White mountains of New Hampshire and in winter it gets brutally cold and windy up there.
What about the new Saivo 4? I think that's a good alternativ to the Saitaris.
super love the dog
Thanks :) She's definitely not a polar dog 😁
Oh so much snowdrift... You've spent all of minute 2 removing the snow from the side and by minute 3 it was all back :D don't you just hate it when that happens ;) Thanks for sharing another great video! I know how much dedication it takes to try and get a shot while already exhausted and setting up a tent in a storm...
Snowdrift is a newer ending story.
I totally agree when it comes to filming in bad weather and/or extreme cold. It’s so much harder than a mild and calm summer month. But hey, people like to see other people
sruggle, so it’s no excuse for us to stay inside when the winds are hauling 😉
@@HikingHansen haha well it's not only about suffering I think but showing the reality... like my drone video from Sweden does not show the bad weather, it all looks like nice easy trip haha. I also had a camera with me and a tripod but it stayed in my pulk. When I finally wanted to use it - the battery was empty because the camera had accidentally turned itself on...
Exactly, and the hardest part for us is to film when reality kicks in. We often tend to leave the camera inside the camera bag 😅
New sub here from Québec ( Canada ) , fantastic video ! First time I see people cooking inside the tent , I guess you had enough ventilation if you posted the video 😋
Awesome 👋 I appreciate you joining the crew. I’m going on a similar trip this Friday, so there’s more to come. Using the stove inside the tent isn’t something I or the manufacture recommends, but I feel confident enough to do so 😊
Nice film with great storytelling and good audio (no music!). If you can cope with the weight (and price), having that tent must be like staying at a hotel 😃
Thank you 😃 The weight is no problem when pulling a pulk. I love the Saitaris, such a great tent ⛺️
Knakende flott, fikk mitt i dag, måtte rett ut å slå det opp på plenen 😁😁
Keep it up guys ❤️
Thanks! New winter adventures are just around the corner ❄️🥶
Beautiful vid thanks
Thank you, Tony. I appreciate you leaving a comment 😃
@HikingHansen pleasure looks amazing trip. I don't get any snow by me hopefully head to Scotland with Chris Townsend for snow early next year
Nice video, friend.
Thanks, Joshua 🙌
Nice 💪🏻
🙌😉
Beautiful!
Thanks, Rob. Winter camping is beautiful ❄️
@@HikingHansen what month was this? Were you happy using cords on the pulk? I'm getting different opinions on Hardangervidda being hilly or flat = pulk poles vs cords. What say you?
@@OutdoorPrep This video was recorded in April (easter week). Good question. I usually bring both, but on this trip I didn't. If you are skiing with a dog, I would use the poles every time - mainly because of safety. Cords + dog can be a disaster since you don't have the same control with cords. That being said, I love using cords when it's flat. The middle of Hardangervidda is flat, but there are parts where it's not - especially around Haukeli in the south and Finse in the north. To summarize; if I had to choose, I would go fixed poles, not these DIY poles, but a wire with glass-fiber - for example Acapulka. In addition, a rope doesn't weigh anything, so why not bring both?
@@HikingHansen Thanks for your insight! I'm trying to go ultralight next year and also save weight with the poles. Main reason for considering rope is last year wind was blowing over my pulk and I could not control it and as it was cartwheeling it was tipping me over too. With ropes I think I can just hold it closer.
@@OutdoorPrep For ultralight hiking with a pulk, have you considered the LW Racing Pulk 4' from Northern Sled Works? I'm thinking of buying that for lightweight winter trips ;) I have also experienced the same as you with rope. My buddy who had the Acapulca fixed system stayed on track whiteout any problem. I guess you just have to try yourself ;)
Hey, great video and cute dog! At what time of the year was that?
Thanks 🤜 This video was recorded Easter week 2022 - late March ish?
Looks like a super great adventure and you filmed it in a very special way, thank you! In which month where you out there?
It was a different kind of adventure (a lot of waiting and hanging out in the tent), but a great trip.
I think it was in late march (Easter week 2022). This year we’re doing a 190 km trip in Rondane National Park. Can’t wait 😊
@@HikingHansen Oh wow 🤩 Rondane are by far my favorite mountains of the planet :) But what kind of route are you taking to make it 190km long?
@@tommy-vella Hjerkinn - Lillehammer (ut.no/turforslag/1114413/langtur-pa-ski-fra-hjerkinn-til-lillehammer).
@@HikingHansen What a great tour! Venabygdsfjellet is also so amazing! I wish you a great trip :)
what is your sleep system?
veldig vakker. jeg liker😊, nice video
Thank you 🙌
May I know what kind of camera and lens you use? 😊
In this video I was using a Sony A7III with Tamron 28-70 f.2.8 😉
Nice sir, you use any extra microphone?
Yes, a Sannheiser MKE200 😉
Mind boggling this channel doesn’t have atleast 100 thousand subs.
How kind of you 🫶 Thanks for the comment, Outdoor Outpost 🤜
Amazing adventure. Can I ask what camera did you use? And also, I noticed you or your friend used Helsport Svalbard sleeping bag, are you happy with it?
Hello Martin :) In this video I used the Sony A7III. The Svalbard sleeping bag is great, but he recently sold it and bought a WM Puma instead :)
Hey men👋
How incredible is your experience. I'm now plannifying my first trip in Winter North Norway. I'm asking ablut your equipment: can you send me where you bought your stuff, please? Thanks for make us dreaming
Hey!
This was truly a great experience. I usually buy a lot of my gear from fjellsport.no, and some local shops. Northern Norway is beautiful. When are you planning to go?
Nice pulls. Likely an OPTIMUS white gas stove and not an MSR Whisperlite Universal. Nice stove "tray" for safety.
Ear plugs would be required for sleep in these winds. BTW, ALWAYS keep an navy shovel by your tent door or inside the vestibule.
A million guy lines ae never enough. :o) (Would a portable wind generator be food in this situation? jus' sayin'...
I recommend a light synthetic insulates "topper" to fit over your mummy bag to collect most of the vapor (as frost) instead of letting it build up inside your mummy.
It seems like you been doing this for some time. Always nice to hear from other people. Still much to learn 😊
Hey, what are you guys doing? What fuel are you using in the Primus? Thanks.
Hey 👋 we’re using white gas 😉
Your clothing looks good! Is it surplus military stuff?😃
It’s durable and roomy.
The set is called Nanok SF 👍
awesome!
Thanks 🙏
The funny thing is that people outside Norway don't understand that this is a normal winter activity for the average Norwegian. They think this is just for a few extreme people, Now, during the Easter tens of thousands of Norwegians go up in the mountains and do this, even with little kids......
True, but not all conditions are for everyone 💨❄️
hello what size is the jerven skyddet thermal bag for dogs?
I think it’s a medium 😉
Har du gått over til Helsport på vinter? Vurderer et Saitaris nå til vinter. Har Nallo 3 GT til solo og to sommer og Kaitum 4 GT til 2 voksne + 2 barn. Kaitum er stort og fint, men litt spinkelt for særlig mye snø og vind
Ja, det stemmer 😊 Jeg liker best tunneltelt til vinterbruk. Spesielt mtp. at du kan ha det tilnærmet ferdig oppsatt under transport.
Saitaris’n er bunnsolid, ingen tvil om det.
Synes den nye Saivo 4 ser interessant ut også 🤔
@@HikingHansen Takk for svar. Har brukt Nallo Teltet til nå på vidda vinter. Det er super enkelt å slå opp. Men må ha litt mere sikkerhet når barna skal være med på vinter. Vet du om Saivo 4 er modellen de nå satser på i det segmentet. Har litt feeling på at Saitaris er eldre enn nyeste Saivo med firkant innertelt.
@@pettermhenriksen8291 Ja, det kan jeg forstå 😊 Jeg har en mistanke om at Saitaris utfases og erstattes med Saivo 4. De er litt for like til at jeg tror de kommer til å fortsette med begge. Men hvem vet, Hilleberg skifter sjeldent ut modellene sine.
Awesome video new sub here
Thanks 🙌
Outstanding. AlwZ have God with you...ooops I meant DOG 3 DOG FOREVER
Love how truthful you are with the temperatures, I get so sick of seeing titles 40- 45- and you know someone that lives there and you find that nowhere in that county did it drop below 10-, they act like make out fisherman ..and the fish was at least four foot and i dropped it but people present said it was under sized so he thrown back 🤣😂😅🤣😂
That’s so true, Victoria.
I wouldn’t go camping in -40🥶

👏👌🇳🇴
Ny video - fra Hardangervidda - kommer om ikke så altfor lenge 😉
@@HikingHansen så bra 👏👌
Cooking inside the tent? What about fumes?
Hi Andy 😀 The Hilleberg tents are well ventilated in the top. We secure adequate airflow when cooking inside the tent, but of course, it’s not recommended by the manufacturers.
Can’t believe they are sleeping on those air beds. They should get that thurma rest Mondo king bed. So much more comfy. Whish I couls use those sleds on the A.T.
Hey, John.
The Mondoking from Thermarest looks so comfortable 👌 The sleds fantastic. So much easier to carry heavy loads. It’s also one of the reasons why I love winter camping.
Enjoy your time on the trail 🤜
HELLO. LIKE. LIKE. VIDEO.
Gikk Dovrefjell i vintres(Hjerkinn til Bjorli). Da var det heldigvis bedre forhold en dette, nesten ingen vind eller skyer. Veldig fine kameravinkler, likte at du ikke la til musikk
Flott på Dovrefjell 👌 Vi var storfornøyd med denne turen. Godt å få testet utstyret litt også. Takk for tilbakemeldingen. Skal krysse Hardangervidda om halvannen uke igjen. Får håpe snøen har gått😊 Fortsatt god lørdag
Do you call these type of videos "solo filming"?
It’s a one man show, but sometimes I bring a friend 😉🎥
And here was me thinking tht my Tarra was big
Well, I can agree that it’s a significant size difference between the tarra and the saitaris ☺️
That doesn't look fun at all. I'd want to go home except I don't have one to go to 🥶🥺
It was a lot of fun, Simon. Winter hiking is so peaceful and everything looks untouched. I also like pulling a sled (pulk) instead carrying everything on my back ;)
@@HikingHansen If you say so lol. Each to their own I guess. I'll never find out either way being stuck in this rut called no life lol.
what do you carry in your duffle bag?
Hi Craig.
We use something called arctic bedding. In the bedding we have a standard sleeping bag, inflatable mattress and a pillow 👌The duffel bag contains everything we need for one week.
Total respect for anyone who does cold weather camping without a “hot tent”. If you are going to camp in a hot tent, you might as well stay home and camp in your living room.
I must say, I do appreciate both ☺️ But it’s not that easy to bring a hot tent into the mountains where you can’t find any wood 🪵
For people to go out in this crazy stuff is one thing, but do not drag your pets out in this!
It wasn’t too bad. We had a great time - including the 🐶👌
👍
