- Clay, Rachelle, Cyrus, and Kurt meet up with Pete Jr., Dan, and Caroline van Stralen of @Epicfamilyroadtrip to officially begin their overlanding odyssey through Scandinavia!
The team is just getting started by exploring the mythic “Land of the Giants” while pushing hard to reach the highest point in Northern Europe on top of Mt. Galdhøpiggen.
Viking-built churches dating back a millennium, ancient boreal forests along the secluded Trans Euro Trail, and an epic descent of Norway’s famous Troll’s Road are all a part of this adventure.
As Clay says, “Norway is one for the books.” Come along and find out why.

As an EMT, I fully approve of Clay's SheepPR joke at 8:53

I love that Trollstigen was like an afterthought. People literally drive to Norway just to experience that road :D
6:40 getting on the highway and there’s a trans am on a trailer 😂 love the content y’all put together 🤟🤟
I came here to say this 😂
lol - I had to pause and rewind that! Legit smokey and the bandit!
same thought ;)
I saw it also. Very cool.
I came here to say that! What a find
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. You guys just keep getting better with every video.
Thank you!
Super wyprawa🏞️🚙🗺️ 💪👍👊.
Pozdrawiam całą ekipę ✌️.
Someone always sneaking around in the night 😂. Blows me away someone always shows up in the middle of nowhere in the dark
It boggles my mind how difficult the logistics and on top of that recording all! The cinematography is second to none!
Campsites (in average weather), break downs and getting getting stuck have been when I've met the best people while overlanding.
Sometimes I watch this and I forget that I’m watching UA-cam…this should be on Nat Geo! Great job guys and gals!
"It sure is fun to watch someone else live their life to the fullest." We're watching you, Clay!
Man, I look like a baby right now. I feel like I am there with you. What a dream, and how lucky you are. Great episode.
By the far the BEST thing to watch on UA-cam!!😍😍😍
That Church was absolutely amazing 👍👍
"We'll see her in Iceland, which is very cool". Almost a British mastery with the play on words. Even if it was unintentional. Great work gang. I've helped out colleagues who are logistics people for overseas trips and the amount of work. I doff my cap to you.
Loving this series! Thank you so much for all you did to make it possible for us to come along. Epic!

Enjoyed your visit to the church! Glad to have discovered Expedition Overland!
This is Netflix quality film production and editing. Well done and awesome vehicles
That stave church is truly remarkable....
I think it is cool when I get other American's perspectives on visiting other countries. I've been overseas half my career and I've gotten to experience other cultures and see the vast history that is Europe. It is something all should have a chance to see.
That Trolll Rd. view at the end made me tear up a bit. It's scenery like that that further solidifies my belief in God. Amazing drone work. The rigs look so good. I need one of those XO slaps.
I live in Northern BC and we have some amazing roads & trails (and some sketchy grades) for sure. But that Troll Road & church had me watching in awe! Thanks for the ride along! 🥾🏔🇨🇦❤️
Love your stuff man. I am a High School World Geography & History Teacher in the Houston, Texas area and your adventure videos are great info.
great great GREAT EPISODE thank you !!!! I am speechless
It's so cool to recognize the beautiful little town "Lom" at 35:55min where i had my first elk burger.
Jotunheim was spectacular!!!
It was on my overlanding trip through Sweden/Norway last year in June/July with my (surprise) Toyota Hilux truck equipped also with a Alu Cab hardtop and a maggiolina rooftop tent. Keep on doing your expeditions! Always a pleasure to watch. :)
Greetings from germany!!!
Geeze feeling sick in a different country and then smacking his chin. He's a trooper!
Not sure if it was said already but those ‘sideways fences’ are living fences. They cut the base of the sapling about 80-90% and bend it down/ intertwine it to the nearby ones. Plant can still survive with only that 10% still attached sl
It doesn’t die and dry/fall apart. Good for small livestock so they can’t get through and doesn’t hurt anything! And all natural
The quality of your content puts most TV shows to shame. Love you guys!
Too lovely
Great work 💯👏
What a road.... A dream drive for any road lover
Great video as always ! that Troll Road was insane ! and how awesome was that Church.... it's crazy how much older and more history Europe has.... loved the history stuff as well. Cheers !
I am loving this series! Norway has been on my list for a long time.
What’s so amazing is that I listened to this while driving. Phone was in my passenger seat. Even just the audio is simply amazing. It alone paints a picture that pulls you in. Amazing job. Now to get off work and watch it
Sooooo good! It just keeps getting better!
The Troll Rd was amazing! We are going to Alaska in 2024, then, maybe Norway and beyond. My husband may not let me keep watching you guys-you inspire me too much!
The best series i have seen in a long time. Keep it up! I love you! Best regards from Germany.
Spectacular! What amazing cinematography and storytelling. Keep living your dream ... I need it!😊
Love the series yall!!!!! Can’t wait for next ep!
Thanks for showing how beautiful our planet is. Stunning.
Excellent videos so far. When we saw the church we both said “we have to go!” We already started planning. 😎👍
Epic views, history, and insight of the nordic alpines so far🍺. No place to be overlanding under prepared. I don’t pretend to know these folks other than through youtube both this channel and “epic family road trip” but im sure they had the time of their lives. With that comes a tremendous responsibility for the team leaders to keep the crew (especially jr crew) safe and on track, so i can appreciate the bit of discipline and organization that comes across in taking on a trip of this magnitude 🍻🍀
Awesome video as always XO Crew. The Troll Rd is stunning and breath takingly beautiful. Truly you can see God's handed work in far as the eye can see.
I would really love if you guys did a cost breakdown like after the season of one of your trips for people who would also want to tackle the same. As always amazing videos
I love that you traveled thousands of miles to get to a completely different world out in Scandinavia, all to end up driving behind an American classic trans am getting trailered on the highway at 7:53.
Irony.
Thank you guys for doing the best representation of Norway on youtube, ever! This was awesome to watch from start to end…👏👏 To bad you didnt get to see the southern mountains of Telemark.. Maybe next time??
All i can say is "Outstanding!" Clay, how high can you raise the bar? You r a very talented guy who is producing magnificent content for us all. Thank you and your team for such perfection! 👍
I was in Norway and Sweden in 2018 on road trip. It was amazing. But I am sad, that Slovakia, was not on map of EU overland travel. Anyway, you are the best, showing not only story, places but skill. Thank you for your production, absolut best from Slovakia!
As always, beautiful, exciting and informative content. Can't wait to see the next episode. Stay awesome team XO!
What a great trip, with a great crew. Awesome job on film production. Can't wait to see more of the journey!
Thank you!
Norway just got added to bucket list. Great job!!
Yes! Thank you!
Same here for me. Blown away by this country.
Whatever you do, make sure you rent a car and explore yourself. The tours just dont do this gem of a country justice
Breathing, stunning, mind-blowing, fantastic I could not wait and had to watch this on my home theater large screen it was worth the watch. Wishing u guys all the best and safe journey. 🌍🌎🌏
Thank you very much!
What an amazing journey. Thanks for taking us along. Such amazing views and I'm sure the journey is epic!!! 🤩😱
Absolutely spectacular! Wow😮. 😶
Wow that's awesome good job very lovely to see Tk you very much for that ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆🏆🏆📸📸📸🇹🇹🇹🇹👍👍👍💞💞💞💞💞
Your cinematography is so good...
You guys rock! Loving this series, iv been in Norway for 14 years now and I’m trying to show of the landscapes and wildlife through my channel… but I see I still have a lot to discover, thanks to you guys 😊 I’m looking forward to the next part!
I've been blessed enough to do both road trips and overland adventures across Australia, the Middle East, and even Colorado and Utah on the Rimrocker just last year. But Scandinavia looks like a whole new ballgame! and this series is definitely bringing my childhood memories of one ski holiday in Switzerland to the fore, with those stunning mountain views and snowy peaks. Can't wait for Ep 3!
Can’t wait till the next episode! You guys are awesome!!
That's XO at their best. Again. Finally Again. Just spent 2 months in Finland and am very glad to see you travelling Scandinavia. Love the show. Wolfgang, Vienna, Austria
Thank you!
Well done! You are opening our eyes
Very nice capture of some of Norway.
Wow. Thanks for giving me more to dream of!!!
The best. Great adventure, friendship, leadership! Thanks for all the hard and good work your teams does and shares with all of us!
Thank you for watching!
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
~ Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It
Us overlanders all have the same issues. You need the big stuff to start a trip but the small stuff to make it work. Your production is the next level in overland visuals and story telling. Fantastic!!
This was spectacular to watch! Really enjoyed the part with the church. Congrats on the series, keep it up! 👌
Been on three roadtrips all across Norway, 16 000kms in total. What really surprised me - after a week of driving you feel like you've seen it all, and after the next turn or tunnel there is another "WOW this is amazing" moment.. Plan on returning there many times!
I can’t wait to go back someday. Clay-
Inspiration overload! This series is certainly a game changer... Congratulations to the team on reaching this phenomenal milestone in overlanding🤝🏼
Thank you!
Spectacular!
This gets me excited for a motorcycle trip my dad, brother and I are doing this spring through the fjords and western Norway! Hitting both the Trollstigen (troll road) and galdhopiggen as well so exciting to see the experience through XO's eyes! Hope to see you guys around Bozeman when we get back!
This is so epic! You and your team of explorers have hit it out of the park with this series. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Glad to do good work for us to see. Thank you all X Overland team. Good luck to you guys. And hope someday you guys will come to my country sometime. Have a safe trip from Big Fan Thailand
Simply amazing. I don't think you guys realize how many people out there, including myself, could be doing what you guys are doing. Im so jealous. Great job on the content, your killing it! Keep it coming. Stay safe out there.
Epic journey!
My lord. That was so amazing, so far this trip is been full of breath taking views and wonderful places. Can't wait for the next episode.
Awesome you guys. The footage and filming is fantastic as always. Norway is my big goal, so glad I can see what I am missing!
I think this is your best series so far, and that says a lot!
mind blowing , scenic and spectacular ... enjoyed and excited to watch the complete series
So beautiful!!! I can't wait for the next episode. I want to binge it all right now!
That was fantastic coverage!!! I cannot wait to see the rest of your Nordic series!
Keep up the good work guys, such expeditions and your way of sharing your experience really motivates me to explore such wonderfull places
It's funny that the movie Troll is coming out soon ha ha ha. Great episode! Looking forward to the next...
Fantastic photography, dialogue, places visited.
This is amazing. Being from Norway I see many familiar places, and even more places I wanna travel in the future. Thank you for taking the trip, and being an inspiration!
Mind bending, from a desert dweller's perspective!
Can't wait for the next episode.
Expedition Overland is an inspiration beyond words!😎
a country I have always wanted to visit. I am completely in awe of the terrain and beauty
Fantastic trip...You are all Amazing, amazing trip, places especially the Church and Troll Rd.. 👍👍
Those grass roofs were crazy
Amazing video from start to finish, thank you!
Relics of the past worth seeing. Truer words couldn’tve been more truer..!! As you’re pulling onto the highway, van with a trailer and a late 70’s early 80’s Pontiac Trans Am. Not pretty as nature but still American Iron!!!
Awesome, superb, mind-blowing, epic, wonderful, amazing....
Thanks for an amazing nostalgic experience from your vids. LOVE IT. Much love to all your team for keeping us in HIGH in gratitude & RESPECT for the beauty of our Mother Earth, our only HOME. - fan from CA.
Incredible views. Very inspiring stuff as always.
What a great episode and we appriciate the respect that all you have in the stave church to take your caps off! nice, love that!
I love this series already! I have to say the whole production quality of your content is superb, I’m so impressed and it’s a joy to watch. I was lucky enough to ski around the Troll Wall and Troll Road area in 1991 with my commando unit and I’ve never forgotten it. I have a picture of Trollveggen (the Troll Wall mountain range) hanging on a wall at my house to this day. Can’t wait for Episode 3. Ha en god tur!
Epic in every aspect! Cheers.
Wow just discovered you where in Europe and in the Netherlands where i live. Love to see you’re video’s and adventures.
Another spectacular delivery. History is so incredible, has always been a big interest of mine and one big reason why I love to travel! It sure is an amazing feeling to step into a building 1000 years old, 500 years old and so on!
Go out and explore has been my mantra.
Thank you guys for this epic series.
Btw, footage and music was epic!
Beautiful scenery! Enjoying the series!
Another good episode. Thanks again. Will you be ‘publishing’ your route? In the early planning stages of a similar trip.
Really enjoying this Series !!!!
Pontiac Trans Am at 7:46. So cool, so unexpected. Great video and awesome journey!
Another great video. Were from the Uk and in sept 22 we took a 3 week trip around Norway. great to see some of the locations we visited in your video and its definitely a country we can't wait to get back too. Hoping for 2024 and combining Iceland too.
