- Van Life. Cozy Storm & Heavy Rain Camping in my Van. Riding out an Atlantic Ocean Storm on the Epic Atlantic Ocean Road. Coffee & Cheese Wraps #vanlife #heavyrain #stormcamping
I travel down the Atlantic Ocean Road and find a great spot to camp and ride out the upcoming storms right by the ocean. The Storm hits in two parts, and it is epic! I spend the time shooting footage, cooking, relaxing and listening to the awesome sounds of heavy rain and wind and waves. Real ASMR. I make coffee of course, and vegetarian cheese wraps. I get a break from the storm with some magnificent Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights. This is part 1, there will be a part two or a full extended version, or both. Enjoy the storms, I know I did!
My Van is a Fiat Ducato, in the USA and Canada known as Ram Promaster.
It is equipped with 180w solar panel, 150ah Lithium battery and 600w inverter to keep me going.
The van conversion was done by Sunlight.
Enjoy camping and vanlife friends from around the world!

I agree about the most cosy part of van life, listening to the storm whilst all snug and warm, when you go outside it is amazing to see the weather but I prefer you to be inside and warm looking out 😊, you go above and beyond for your channel
I need to get outside and film a bit lol, i know I have a comfortable place to look forward to:-)
Your van looks so cosy and homely, especially with the sound of wind and rain ❤
It really is! I love it!
Like the old Motley Crue song 'Home, Sweet Home' 😎🚐
Exaclty!
I love the idea of being near nasty weather but not in it. ❤
Extraordinary. Scenery, storms, Northern Lights, the bridge, the music, the sea, the photography. Your content is just so enjoyable. TY
Thank you so much 😀
Great upside with the heavy rains is the air is so incredibly clean, so refreshing to breathe that filtered air. The time lapse around 15:00 was majestic. Really enjoyed hearing the strong winds howling around your van. Another great adventure Jarl! Thank you for the amazing content! 👏 👌🌧💧🌬🌬🌬
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much!
One of the best rain videos I have ever watched. Amazing storm. Always be safe my friend. What a place! 💙
Wow, thank you so much, really appreciate it!
I absolutely loved this adventure, the van is very cosy with the storm outside I loved the northern lights what a treat I will be watching this a few times 🌟✨✨🌟
Awesome, thank you so much for your support!!!
Wow, to call that water "choppy" is a gross understatement. The northern lights were fantastic, just gorgeous. Great storm. I can't wait to see the second half.
Glad you enjoyed it, it was awesome!
Can't wait to see Part 2. What a video - Northern Lights, storms, and that high bridge! That would be terrifying to cross in a bad storm. Since there is a Part 2, I am assuming you made it through. Quite an exciting experience. Keep safe in your travels. Kindest regards. AM
Thanks AM, I probably made it through yes, but the waves pick up in ep2:-)
Fantastic video. I cannot think of a better place to be in a storm than in that lovely, cosy van ♥️👍
You and me both!
Epic video. I really like how you show just nature and then contrast other scenes focusing on equipment or man made objects in the nature. Quite unique style. I enjoy that very much. Also the "time for coffee" is an essential part of your videos. Aero-Press, nice!
Thank you very much!
My sentiments exactly, "time for coffee" is the best part of every NX video.
Awesome!
I am jealous though, I love the rain I love cloudy cold and rainy those are my favorite favorite favorite days, and night ❤❤❤❤
It can be beautiful!
That was wild, a beautiful light show. I love storms also, the bigger the better. Stay cozy! ❤
Thanks Dottie!
AWESOME video!!! Many nice surprises. Love Atlantic Ocean Road! Love the up looped/risen bridge! I have seen pictures of it - I love bridges. Such a great spot for you right there on the beautiful ocean with the unsheltered and sheltered reservoirs! The waves were gorgeous. Lovely heavy rain storm in your cozy warm van. I do not believe I have ever seen your van at night all closed up with only the pretty decorative lights on. Wow!! Vast open sky's showing off the Northern Lights!! Just beautiful. Jarl, I bet they are more spectacular to see in real life! But they sure are beautiful in this video - as all the videos you share with them. The potato/cheese/veggie wraps looked so delish. Yum. And the coffee!! Nothing like hot delish coffee in a warm cozy space during a heavy rain storm - especially if it is super cold out. This was a real treat! I like your blue tire levelers/wheel stops for your van. I can bet they make the van secure in times like this and on uneven terrain. Looking forward to part 2. Blessings.
Hey, thank you so much, it sure is a cool place!
OMG can't wait for the rest of it. So cozy and warm just listening to it relaxes me. I so wish it would rain here it's still almost 100° and haven't seen rain in a very long time. Tomorrow being October 1st I'm hoping for cooler weather next week. ❤💕❣️💓💜
Ah, 100 degrees, wow, we are heading down towards freezing now..
Amazing video, as always! You have such a unique and inspiring lifestyle. I love how you show us the beauty and the challenges of living in a van in different places. The Atlantic Ocean storm looked scary, but also mesmerizing. How do you cope with the noise and the cold?
Thank you, I have a good heating system in my van, the noise is not a problem really
Wow, that's amazing the Atlantic ocean im on the other side of the world
You're one of the best on this platform.. thank you, for taking us with you!
Thank you so much Hannah🙏
The Northern light at the 14:20 mark was just nothing short of awesome, thank you you for posting that. I to, like a good storm, always have, and you had a great one there to experience and with a hot cup of coffee it couldn’t be better. Thanks for the video sir.
Thanks Terry, glad you enjoyed it!
Woohoo, what a fun adventure! I can almost feel the wind and rain, as well as the coziness of inside the van, and what a lovely spot you chose. The Aurora Borealis was stunning, lucky you! As always, thanks for sharing 🥰☕️🌧
Glad you enjoyed it Suzanne, it was quite spectacular!
Well there's that rain coming down
Looks like we are all fans of your cozy times in your van. That is the best, with a raging storm outside, snug, safe and warm in your van. I also do appreciate the outside visits!!! The weather there is phenomenal!!!
It sure is!
That was very good content,,I look forward to seeing you next video 😊,,CHEERS😅
Thank you so much! Cheers!
Gosh !! 😱This Is Brutal Weather. Stay Safe And Warm. Can’t Wait To Watch Part 2
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
You produce the best storm camp videos! Love the coziness of your van. Wondering though, what do you use for heat (b/c the dampness can be quite chilling)?
Thank you Barb, I have Truma Combi 4 propane gas heater built into the van, it is very effective and provides amazing heat. It also heats water.
@NorwegianXplorer Oh, that's good to know. I was worried you would be a bit cool, but you've covered all the bases and are super-cozy. Love it!
Hello Jarl awesome scenery, the ocean is so beautiful ,wow that was some rain the rain drops sounded like pebbles hitting your van, the northern lights were absolutely breathtaking, thanks for sharing stay safe out there
Thanks so much Sonia, I loved this experience, was quite surprised by the northern lights!
Really an exciting time in the storm. That is an amazing highway. Looking forward to part 2.
Yeah, its a quite famous road here. It picks up in part 2 lol!
Glad to see you back in your van!!!
Oh yeah, always in the van:-)
This is exactly what it's like to park your semi truck for the night with a storm raging outside. Very cozy.
indeed!
That's really hard rain sounds like hail , You mentioned that the van is shaking😢
"I love a good storm when you can keep warm and cozy. "
Those are your words Jarl. I can echo them with every minute of my life. I'm right there with you. I thank you from the bottom of my ❤ !
I've been meaning to ask you if you've ever listened to "Madrugada"? Sivert and Co. are one of my favorite bands. The lead guitarist for "The Church" (Australian band) recommended them a few years ago and they've been one of my favorites ever since.
Thank you, yes I know Madrugada, havent really listened much to them, but they are very well know over here.
@@NorwegianXplorer
Yes, I've heard that they sell out all over Europe. People in the "States" have never heard of them. They are just now appearing on "First Listen", UA-cam sites. But for the most part, they are unknown here. I appreciate your ambient stuff you put on to match the "moods" when you are driving.
Thank you!
I am watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Greetings!
I would prefer too farther from the road. Stable set up tho!
It is an ok distance for this country, in the US or Germany with higher speeds I would not be this close to the road
What sort of internet connection are you using to stream audio video like Apple TV? Apparently the storm doesn't affect it so it's not satellite. Or were you watching downloaded videos?
I have an unlimited cell plan, works really well, the cell towers are rarely down here, built to whit stand almost anything
@@NorwegianXplorer I was wondering the same thing.
Bill, it is funny how much cheaper the data plans here are compared to the US, I pay like 40$ a month for unlimited data, text and talk.
21:47 That arch bridge It really looks amazingly beautiful 👍
Yeah, it is a really cool place!
Quite famous place actually if you google Atlanterhavsveien
There's a lot of similar bridges in Norway.
Hi Jarl, it's amazing to spend time like you, I'm trying now the same but in smaller car (minivan) and in similar places (coasts arround Nothern Ireland and Republic of Ireland). One exception... I try to stay night in more quit slots, without these all passing vehicles, cause I'm affraid I couldn't sleep all night. Simply it's too noisy and too dangerous for me that leave car at external turn... Probably you have better drivers up there in Norway, but I hope you know what I mean... Anyway keep going, enjoy your van-life and most important stay safe and healthy... Greetings from Ireland... -Kris
Thank Kris, greetings!
Hello from SYDNEY AUSTRALIA classy video Norway is beautiful country and your van looks very cosy stay well and give us more video's to enjoy.
Thanks so much! 😊
Woooo LAWDaMERCY 🫢😮
I was hollerin “HOLD ON Bertha!” Yeah that’s what I’ve named ur van. Bless it.
Looooooove to b n at home during these things with candles lit. I too love candles 🕯️! LOVE that bridge too it’s beautiful. The northern lites were amazing n I think it’s my first time to see purple waves. I don’t live far from the Atlantic Ocean which is my fav body of water. My state borders the Gulf of Mexico but we live rite near Florida which borders both bodies. As much as I love forests n mountains it’s the ocean that has captured my heart n soul most.
As far as u speaking Jarl u never have to stop talking as far as I’m concerned. Ur voice is as comforting as the sounds of rains.
Looking forward to part 2. I think I am at least.
👍🙏❤️‼️
TJ
Thank you TJ, so you are on the Atlantic coast too, that is awesome! Bertha, lol!!
👋Hey there Norwegian Xplorer!
As always, another awesome video from start to finish. Always enjoyable for me.
I love the music within your videos, I enjoyed watching you prepare your coffee & cheese wraps. lol
I also love your wee lanterns within your van. Really nice & gives off a warm, homely & inviting feel/ambiance.
I really love the outdoor scenery. Just beautiful & makes me so wish to be right there!
The Aurora Borealis is always a spectacular natural phenomenon. Always amazing to witness.
Tusen takk for sharing & here's wishing you well.
Peace✌
Thank you so much!!
Here's me watching for the 3rd or 4th time now. haha
Your videos are seriously EPIC my friend!
Tusen takk for sharing & here's wishing you well.
Peace✌
Awesome thank you! Lol, you are the best!
Thank you for this beautiful video.
I experienced the same thing during a storm in Guernesey and Cherbourg.
Superb feeling to see nature like that.
Enjoy!!
My pleasure 😊
Drivers in Ohio, USA have a history of distracted and poor driving. Our emergency personnel and troopers are in constant danger if off beside a road with a traffic stop. In this state you’d be safer in a foxhole in a war zone than parked beside a road. That being said, most of your camp sites look very inviting and this is a great channel anyway and you’re not in the USA or Ohio. My experience is drivers from other countries being much more aware of other drivers and road situations.
Sounds nasty, parking along the roads here are like parking along the roads on the Pacific coast highway in California to go to the beach
I felt like I had to pay to ask this first question:
Do you have a toilet in your van?
When you make coffee, would you please show us the brand and why that brand? The all-important coffee time is the highlight of your videos.
When you are in your van, try brewing coffee in a Chemex. It would taste better and smoother than an AeroPress.
Thanks for your time and effort in making the videos for us. They are a delight to watch and re-watch.
Awesome, thank you so much, yes, I have a chemical toilet in the van, it is a thetford cassette toilet, works extremely well! How is the desert?
@@NorwegianXplorer It has been staying quite warm late in September and into October. In the mid 90's F/35 C. It will finally start cooling down next week. October is the loveliest month here in the Sonoran Desert. Winter is always great out here, as one never has to shovel sunshine.
Lol, exactly! I have been out in the Sonoran desert a few times during winter and it is lovely. I really love the endless desert vistas.
@@NorwegianXplorer Yes, the desert landscapes and vistas are spectacular. There is so much (teeming) wildlife, birds, plant life and trees, majestic saguaros and other cacti, extensive big sky cloud formations, summer monsoon storms, etc. It's a great place to live and visit. Thanks for your time. ATB
I remember when I was on a spot face to the sea at Quiberon, in France. Wind was 140km by hour and my van was very shaked. All my familly had afraid. impossible to sleep lol
Yes, that is not a good spot to be in. There was a Hurricane here yesterday so I had to park the van inside
Fantastic? First time I saw the Northern Lights was in Tromso. I thought ww3 had started, had never heard of this wonderful phenomena before. Never to be forgotten. Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed it
That one road looks very scary, the one that looks like an amusement park ride. Yikes!! Loved your video. Thanx for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Should have a dog with you, but possibly you're not a dog person, which is fine. That's just me.
To me it doesnt feel like enough space for a dog
If you pull on the side of the road here in America, you will wake up with no rims in just the body of your van if you're lucky, but if you're not lucky you will lose your life too😂😂😂😂😂😂
Depends on where you are I guess, I have spent many nights in my car at the side of the roads in the American west
Oh wow what an amazing video, love to see and hear all the rain ☔️ do you ever get frightened? That road/bridge is absolutely phenomenal would love to drive over that take care stay safe and thank you for another fantastic video ❤
Thanks, maybe a little bit if it gets extreme, but I will move if it feels unsafe
U should record the raining sound n raining n make 1 hour video. I’ll sleep better with the sound. That’s the real raining sound too and not fried chicken lol.
Yes, good idea!
Those were angry white caps on the ocean and that elevated roadway looked absolutely harrowing. I hope to one day visit your lovely country. Until then, I will keep enjoying your great videos. Stay safe.
Thank you Irene!
Nice video. Not far from my home town Aalesund 😊Take care 👍
Cool, I was just there!
Certainly some beautiful country there. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video. Loved the northern lights. They were stunningly
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video thanks for sharing your travels and experiences take care Wayne Perth Western Australia
Thanks Wayne!!
Atlantic Ocean ode jack mang siamo bro
I love storms and the aurora borealis. I dont get to see it from washington near the mountains. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing. 😊ps where are you?
You are very welcome, Norway
I love you videos each one is different, I feel that I have seen so much of your beautiful country with out leaving my home which I can’t at the moment as I have broken my leg so watching you is a great escape for me 😊
If you can find a product know as Rain-ex, it will repeal the rain drops from the windows and you can clearly see out.
Thank you!
The way you color-grade your videos is just beautiful💙 Thank you for sharing
Awesome, thank you so much for saying that!
Love your channel! Please show more in your van. I had a Travato but sold it and I loved when it rained it relaxed me so much.
More to come!
Love from India 🇮🇳❤❤❤
Thanks!
Absolutely mesmerizing! Your fearless spirit and the cozy van life in the midst of an Atlantic Ocean storm is a testament to the true essence of exploration. Mother Nature's power and your resilience make for an unforgettable adventure. 🌊🚐⛺️ #AdventureGoals
Thank you so much, it was spectacular to experience!
If you can make this raining video for more 1 hours,it would be great, real rain sounds, good for listening before sleep ❤❤❤
Yomgʻir menga juda yoqadi va oylamgayam. iltimos koproq yomgʻirda olin
Thanks, will try!
This is real camping in storms!!! Other channels aren't even close to your content claiming storms. Love your channel!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you, I know, I take a look every now and then to see whats up. I am glad you noticed😂😂😂
Love your videos watching from Scotland .x
Awesome! Thank you!
So lucky to see Northern Lights in person. Thank you so much for sharing the best light show in the world!
Glad you enjoyed it!
waiting for part two, so far, cool vid, love the northern lights part. be safe. from a south texas fan.
Hey Clint, thank you so much!
Great video. Awesome to experience the power of nature first hand. Where were you parked up?
Thank you, I was parked in a side pocket close to the bridge
Great video 👍🏾
The combination of peace and adventure!!
Thank you!
We really miss your videos, can't wait 2 part
With love ❤
Thanks, there should be a new one almost every week
You enjoy the storm, don't you, Jarl, 😅 laying on your belly on the bed, hahahahahaaaa ! Your van is a shelter too, a cosy one, (whith the cosy little lampions) although the shaking of it by the wind is a bit scaring... (also you were very close to the highway where the speed is so fast)... You had the courage going out, and getting soaked-wet for filming it....for us, in order to let us experience it too... Magnificent northern lights, you were lucky !.... By the way, Jarl, haven't you brought your guitare, to give us a serenade 🎵 🎶 when storm is over ?... Thousand thanks, and always stay safe, dear friend ! 💜
Haha, no I do not play the guitar like that, not for other people, only for the recordings I make:-)
I saw a picture of you playing the guitare and a lady singing... on internet. Aren't you going to make music any more in your music-studio ? Have you perhaps closed that phase of your life as a music- composer ? That would be a pity....
As you know, Jarl, as an elder person (born 1945) I needed quite a period to get used to your conception of music, but I must say there are some (mostly slow and soft) compositions that I really appreciate.
My favorite channel..
Love from indonesia❤
Thanks!!
That bridge! 🫣 That wind! 😳
Lol, glad you enjoyed it!
❤ OMG I would be able to sleep so good with it raining like that. So pretty. Stay safe. 💕❣️💓
Thank you! You too!
@@NorwegianXplorer 💓💜 You know I'm always here watching. I've never been to the Atlantic Ocean been to Pacific a few times. Love the Aurora borealis lights . I always screenshot beautiful scenery u show so I can look at it later. When did u film this? Least u weren't in ur tent. 😂💕💜
I filmed this about 2 weeks ago
may I ask where this place is? It looks absolutely beautiful!
The Atlantic Coast Road
Yum, Are those tortillas
such a beautifull video. looks like true peace to sleep in while the rain is pouring outside ❤
Thank you!
Spectacular sky
👍
Beautiful view from the highway looking out at the water
Thanks for visiting
Jarl this is fabulous video. It has all the sounds you need to relax. Very comforting to watch too. Do you have a cup anemometer to measure the wind speed? Might be an idea to attached an anemometer to your motterhome while stationary to see what the highest wind speed reaches. Just an idea to add alittle more interest in your adventures.
Watching from the UK 🇬🇧
Regards
Matthew
Thanks Matt, yes, that could be interesting, been thinking of getting one for my backpacking trips
Looking forward to seeing many wind speeds recordings if you do manage to buy a cup anemometer. It will be interesting to see the highest wind speeds while backpacking 👍
Nou, dat is kil rond de willy
I tried to get into the Patreon pics . For some reason it's not letting me
Great video again
Thank you Stan, did you try patreon.com/norwegianxplorer
Thank you for this😁😁 So beautiful 👍👍👍
My pleasure 😊
Imagine the old Viking ships and their men operating in these conditions?
Yes, I can only imagine, I am from the Viking coast myself. I am sure they didnt go out in weather like this though
I’m so jealous. I’m sold. I am buying a van and selling my junk and hitting the road.
Good choice, I have not regretted it one day!
A perfect lifestyle
I agree!
This was just awesome. The Northern lights were spectacular! That bridge would scare me, though. Thanks for this relaxing video.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it
That bridge is scary. I get scared even on a straight bridge. Wonder how many if any accidents? I’ll have to,look at it closer. Is it 2 lanes both ways? Beautiful work ✅ awesome
Me encanta la camioneta que bonito vivir asi ahi duermes comes disfrutas los paisajes es una casa con ruedas hoy estas ahi mañana en otro lado es una bonita aventura
Very true!
Your van looks wonderfully cozy and comfortable --- and you're a good cook, too!!
I used to love the sound summer storms with rolling thunder and heavy rain when we lived in Minnesota -- Sometimes I'd sit on the porch and watch the storms roll in -- Other times we'd just sit in the bit old farmhouse kitchen and watch the storm out the windows and drink coffee.
There's something about the sound of rain that can be so soothing and relaxing.
Enjoy your travels!!
That sounds nice! Thank you!
Wow thi looks amazing what a storm. Im jealous right now
Lol, thanks!
Ese puente lo he visto en otros videos como los puentes mas asombrosos🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
It is a great spot
What state is this in?
Norway
Is it safe to park where you're at, seems scary with the traffic,
Depends on what you consider safe, most accidents happens in your home
Me too love a big storm, ❤ great minds think alike 😂
Awesome!
If you get a external microphone and put a furry on it the noise frim wind will be significantly less.
THE LESS NOISY WIND ORGANIZATION😂
I do use that, but the wind is very strong. I do actually use the wind sound as part of the shot to reinforce the weather. I am part of the "more noisy wind org"😂 If I did not use the furry it would sound distorted and tearing, but yuo already know that.
@@NorwegianXplorer ok more sound fx crew🤪
lol!
Wow amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
You can just pull on the side of the road and camp?
Yes
Awsome video my friend, would love to hear some of the sounds of your adventures through some binaural mics :D Beautiful Northern lights too :o Looking forward to pt 2
Thanks you, yeah that would probably sound awesome!
