- Tarp Survival. 14 days of storm tent & tarp camping in the wilderness. Caught in Massive Storm of Hail, Thunder, Lightning & Heavy Rain in the mountains of the north. Solo Camping.
This is part 1 of my 14 day trip in the wilderness at the borderlands. I get caught up on the mountain pass in a massive storm of hail, lightning, heavy rain and thunder and have to shelter under my tarp under a rock to try and survive the massive storm. Thunder and lightning go off all around me and the hail is massive. These 14 days will have plenty of storms, and this is the first of them. I am not really sure yet if I have survived.

The sounds, the visuals, the storytelling, the clothing, the equipment, your voice, the lightning, the thunder, the hail, the tarp, the painted red "T" on the stone markers - all of it - are amazing!
Thank you so much my friend, really appreciate it, did you watch it on the big screen?
Like theplace the rain congrats from the philippines
My. Kind. Of. Weather. Ha ha ha😅😂
Here in Sacramento, California, it is 108 Fahrenheit. You are definitely having an adventure, including all the hail.
Yes, it was and it didnt end here lol!
As an Australian, it's so weird hearing you describe 25 degrees as hot but, on the flip side, we find 10 degrees too cold here and I'm sure that's barely cold for you.
10 degrees is warm, minus 20-30 is cold lol We expect 10 degrees in the mountains in summer
I live in the Arizona desert in the U.S., and for us, 25 degrees is quite pleasant! I think parts of Australia are far hotter than here though. We do get down to freezing in the winter overnight at times.
@getwthenewage4871 well, I live in the south of Australia, in Melbourne which generally is colder than Central and Northern Australia but even we get days of 45 Celsius (113 Fahrenheit) in the summer. I usually just stay in my air-conditioned home on those days.
@getwthenewage4871 Melbourne is only a little colder than Sydney and Perth during winter, just 3-5 degrees, but we get more cold days, winter is longer. And similar in summer but flipped, our hot days are just as hot but we don't have as many hot days. Not sure about the Outback (never travelled there), but yeah, I think it's super hot in summer.
I’m surprised you didn’t comment on the hailstones. When he said they were quite big I immediately thought about Australia and the huge hailstones you get over there.
Good thing you decided to take a break and up up that tarp. Hail hurts!
Yes, very good and lucky timing
An orchestra of hail 🎼 Perfect for ice coffee! This was gorgeous and powerful. Thanks for aiming low and showing that bouncing hail! Way to go Tarp, Tripod and lichen covered rocks!
Glad you enjoyed it! It did indeed feel powerful!
Lightning storms always get my attention when out in the backcountry
And there’s nothing like a hailstorm to drown out your every thought
Thanks for sharing your adventures
True! Thank you!
Beautiful scenery the sky,the lake, the snow on the mountains ,wow thunder, lightning, hail ,wind and rain, the sound of the hail is like popping popcorn ,the storm was intense very scary, hope you all are ok stay safe
Thank you Sonia, 14 days of storms, more episodes soon!
What a scenery, this looks dangerous but shots are spectacular my friend!
Thank you!
Good video I enjoyed watching it 🌬🦅🙂👍
Thank you 👍
Wow! Lightning, hail and rain! Incredible storm. The sound of the hail hitting your shelter sounds just like popcorn popping. The mosquitoe conditions there are very similar to summertime in Alaska
Glad you enjoyed it, it was quite the experience, the popping was insane!
Wow wonderful 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
So glad you got the tarp set up before the hail came!
Me too:-)
Top notch scenery, camera work and adventure! I am looking forward to the second part. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you very much!
Another great video with stunning Scenery , thanks for sharing ... and the difficult weather also contributed for the great video.
Many thanks!
Wow the hail scene was beautiful, you had such a great camping experienced.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was great!
Wow Jarl! You really hiked into one heck of a storm! The hail hitting your tarp and bouncing on the ground sounded and looked like popcorn. Or maybe it looked more like hominy. 🤔 With a sky full of buckets of hail and swarms of mosquitoes many a hiker would have turned back. I myself have turned back on a backpacking adventure due to maddening mosquito attacks. And I did experience light hail at night while camped below Glen Pass in Kings Canyon National Park. I did the loop. I believe you have done this loop also. And I had a bear experience similar to what you had!
Yes, I did the loop a few years back, stunning place. Glen pass is one of my favorites!
Holy!!! That was a Storm!! Exciting too.
☺️
Looked intense the storms are gaining momentum like never before and out poles have started the shift soon we will start to see more worse storms than ever!
Yes, it is pretty bad these days!
Hi. LIKE. LIKE. LANDSCAPE. SCENERIES. CAMPING.
beautiful surroundings
Indeed!
I can't imagine how loud that was inside. I appreciate you sharing the experience. I hope you are well.
Thank you, it was massive!
A big "like" first and then I am gonna watch it... sounds exciting!!!
Thank you, it was indeed!
The fact he goes out while lightning falls around him and isn't scared amazes me. Also very beautiful scenery
Thank you, didnt expect to run into lightning, but it happened
watching from Philippines 💯🇵🇭
Cool, thanks!
One of the nicest summer camping videos, with actual winter weather :) I have watched you camp under extremely harsh conditions, and rarely have I seen such a worried expression on your face...
Glad you enjoyed it!
what a way to start this years hiking trips, be safe, can't wait for the next video.
Coming very soon!
Absolutely spectacular Images ! The big dark cloud. The white cotton cumulus cloud. The lightning (min. 8.38). The curtain of rain falling out of the clouds. The hail-balls jumping up as little ping-pong balls the noise of which exceeds the growling of thunder. What an adventure ! Highly scaring ! And you... all alone in the middle of "nowhere". Thank you so much for filming all this. You had a little fear, didn't you ? Quite normal. And luckily, Jarl, you survived it.... 😞 😆 💚 (didn't you experience a similar thunder storm in the summer 2022 ??) Looking forward to your next adventures !!
Thanks Regine!
Well put.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Quite an adventure! Storms in the wilderness are intense!
Indeed!
Hi from the UK.
I hunkered down under my 4m x 4m tarp for 2 days waiting for the stormy weather to clear.
It was a great long weekend.
It is pretty nice indeed!
Beautiful scenery. You're so fortunate to enjoy this experience! Travel safe!
Thank you, I will
WATCHING FROM THE PHILIPPINES
Greetings!
You give us something special, brother.
Thank you, appreciate you saying that!
Wow that was so intense. The sound of the rain & hail were deafening hitting the tarp.
It was :-)
I think that was a little more snow than you asked for, wow! So incredibly beautiful- and equally dangerous. Without the fieldcraft, skills, experience and stamina that you have to walk through that deep snow, it would be easy to die in those conditions. Thank you for taking me with you!😊
Thank you!
Southern California here and I loved it. The storm, your face and just listening to the hail and lightening 😁👍 Thank you
You are so welcome
Waoo bagus sekali kawan..pemandangannya indahnya sangat sejuk suasana yang ada di situ kawan ...salam sahabat dari Indonesia 👍 🇮🇩
Thank you and welcome!
Must have been more scary the longer it went on. @12:30 - with a little imagination, it looks and sounds like the ground is making white popcorn.
Yes, exactly! quite the sound!
Good morning love the views very relaxing TY for videos😁😁
Glad you enjoyed
Now that's a great start for your adventure? From my end anyway. Haha. Can't wait for what's next. Stay Safe !!!
You and me both, loved how this just happened out of nowhere
WOW !! Incredible Adventure Jarl .
Thank you!
I love the sights & sounds of a thunderstorm. Your videos are absolutely amazing. I live vicariously through you as I physically cannot make the treks. Stay safe & blessings to you.
Glad you like them Pam🙏
👍
I open Chrome. Chrome asks: Reopen last session? I say yes. Your UA-cam video appears. I think I fell asleep like a baby watching this, sounds are wonderful :D
Haha, awesome, thank you
Brilliant Jarl, what a life saver having a tarp with you for those unexpected & unannounced thunderstorms, well prepared and quick thinking is what requires out in the bush.
Thank you for posting and I look forward to watching your next video.
Kind regards,
Florin Sirbu
Thank you Florian!
You are the best thank you for all your videos Your videos of the actual storm are very appealing Thank you for your hard work and dedication 😊 They are all very entertaining and soothing
Thank you so much for your support🙏
Loved the facial expressions. Fortunately he was able to get his tarp set up before the hail and the rest of the storm.
Yes he apparantly was
Det var jammen et skremmende ver. Så store hagil og lyn og torden i ett. Vær forsiktig😮
Frightfully beautiful!! Looking forward to the next video and see what you and your friends get up to! Thanks Jarl!
You and me both!
What a guy, great show!
Thanks Tim!
The nature of hail. It makes you feel a lot of things. I subscribe because the video is so cool. I am also doing camping UA-cam in Korea and I subscribed to it because I fell in love with the video. I'll always cheer for you😀🙌👍🏻
Awesome, thank you so much!
1st time on your channel. Love the video.
Thought it was super funny that you refer to that as "big hail". That was cute.
Will check out more!
Take care - from Texas
Welcome aboard! Nothing compared to what you get, but big for Norway, hail usually turn into snow pretty fast
That was "crazy"
Haha, yes I said that plenty of times lol!
@@NorwegianXplorer loved it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you🙏
Great and interesting video...❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Always be safe my friend. Amazing videos. My best wishes from Greece
Thank you very much!
Can't wait for the other parts. 🌧️
Coming soon!
Oh shit! Incredible storm footage!
Thank you:-)
Wow sangat keren video ini sobat ❤ terimakasih sudah berbagi video yang sangat cantik ini, salam hangat dari Indonesia 🇮🇩
Thank you!
@@NorwegianXplorer sama sama 👍🏻
Καλησπέρα από Ελλάδα!!!!!
Good evening!
Gorgeous landscape, like watching storm, but not from a light tent. Would prefer the van.
Fair enough!
Whoa, that storm is a beauty. I have lived in New England (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine) USA, my entire life and have never seen hail that large. Scary is a very good word. Looking forward to Part 2. Stay safe and dry.
Thanks Judi!
How old are you?
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 108
@@juditate111 Well, you're more than twice my age, so it doesn't make any sense. I'm not 50 yrs old yet, but I've seen hail here (I don't use those disrespectful colonial terms of state colonies, to me it's the land of the dawn; Wabanaki Indian territory) worse than this.
If you're actually only half my age, not twice, I'd still be a little surprised. Over 100 though, of course I know that can't be so. There's been more hail storms during my folks times that doubt were worse than this too, so.
I might have believed you, if you claimed to be a teenager. It has been a little while, so that might actually be possible.
I guess I'll never know since you don't want to say, oh well.
Luckily your tent is hailproof otherwuse you're in big trouble. Good adventure 🎉
Thank you!
So glad that your tarp held up during the hail storm!
Yeah, it sprung a leak though that I will show in part 2

Hey Bill! Welcome aboard!
@@NorwegianXplorerThanks 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
i had a similar experience about 15 years ago on Long's Peak in Colorado - caught in a thunderstorm in the 'Boulder field' at about 12,500 ft elevation. We didn't have time to setup much protection so just huddled as best we could amongst the rocks. There was heavy hail and lightening all around us. ! It lasted about 20 minutes and was very frightening - about the longest 20 minutes I have experienced!
Scary stuff, luckily I bring the tarp for occasions like this
I love storms, but I fear lightning. What a unique looking area you were hiking through with the stones stacked upon each other and the interesting looking landscape. I can't think of anywhere here in the US I have hiked that looks anything like that. Very beautiful country. Thank you for sharing this for those of us who don't live there.
Glad you enjoyed it
I agree. When there's lightening, take shelter. Glad you did.
Yeah, I hear what your saying. Summer before last lightning hit a fiberglass radio antenna at my place. It not only melted the fiberglass antenna and it fell over. But it blew a hole in the ground as big around as a basket ball. It was a good thing I had an 8 ft. Ground rod at the base of it. It took out several thousand dollars worth of equipment in the house still. The worst lightning damage to a tree I had ever seen was on a huge cottonwood tree. When I used to hunt I remembered this good area by a huge cottonwood tree. Then one time I went to find that spot. I would always look up high because they get huge. Well I ran onto debris starting at over 100 yards from it. Pieces of cottonwood tree. When I found it, this huge cottonwood tree had been reduced from probabbly at least 95ft. Or so down to about a 15 ft. Stump. Cottonwood trees are so full of water that it just exploded it. That is why i stay away from them if I'm in the woods. I have seen people cut them down before and it looked like someone turned on a water faucet. I knew of one that was hit at least 4 times, it finally died. The big one that blew up was probabbly 5 ft. Across at the bottom. Our water table here is real high most the time too though. Most times I could dig 3-4 ft. And the hole will fill.
Haul storm, crazy+fun!
Yes it was!
I have a Napier camo truck tent ⛺⛺, get it set up cuz that's what the kid wanted to do was camp out in the truck. First couple nights everything was just fine. Then here come 50 mile an hour winds an almost a foot of Snow!!!! Queen-size sleeping bag full size air mattress that fits the bed of a truck. 12 volt electric blanket, it took 4 days before we could take it Down. !!!! I was expecting it to be ripped to pieces, Napier producers are really good product!!!!
Cool, never heard of Napier but sounds like quite an adventure, I should have filmed it:-)
Yet more experiences we can see through your lens. Quality footage and top entertainment once again. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Will be some fly fishing as well in the next episode!
Love watching your video’s! I’m in Manitoba, CANADA! And yes the weather you camp in is CRAAAAZY!!!
Thank you, it will get worse, Hurricane incoming now🤷♂️
@@NorwegianXplorer I’ll keep an eye out for it! Stay Safe & God Bless you
Looks like fun
It was!
Wow!! Another great video! Quite the weather event you experienced! Thanks Jarl! :)
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin!
🫢🫣 HOLY Moses my friend !!!
Thankful the tarp held up n the hail. Hailstones destroy.
Wow. Crazy !!!
👍🙏🌩️⛈️🌨️🥴❤️
TJ
It was indeed crazy!
Man I've been on the fence with regards to a tarp as an additional shelter....not any more. How you used it was the exact way I envisioned using it. A tent is not so great when you just need to keep dry for an hour or so. Theres more than enough room for a friend. Thanks for the effort. I look forward to the continuation.
Thank you, yes I was on the fence to for a long time, but now I usually bring it
En primer lugar fantástico video👍👍y en segundo lugar aquí en España 🇪🇸🇪🇸 estamos teniendo unas tormentas brutales de granizo del tamaño de bolas de golf, mi coche a tenido daños por valor de 1900€ 😢😢😢 esto es una locura. Gracias por estos vídeos gracias.👍👍
Thank you, that is crazy, we never get that kind of hail here
Thats a strong tarp! Like this video very much!And this in Norway, how cool!Gonna subscribe!
Thanks and welcome!
Wonderfull videos xplorer Rain snow.. love from turkey
Thank you so much!
Hahaa.. damn! That is some crazy hail for sure! Pretty nuts, I love it!
Awesome, thanks man!
Wow, what an incredible adventure! It's truly inspiring to see your quick thinking and resourcefulness when faced with unexpected challenges like a massive hailstorm. Taking shelter under a tarp was a brilliant idea, and it's a testament to your survival skills and adaptability. Your videos always showcase the raw beauty and power of nature, reminding us to appreciate and respect its forces. Keep up the amazing work, and stay safe out there on your thrilling expeditions!
Thank you so much, it was a really cool and a little bit scary, I actually fell asleep under the tarp for a little bit lol
Well put.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Thanks for sharing.I really love the vedio.keep safe...from:phillipines
Thanks for watching!
,👍
Holy smokes! That was scary watching, I couldn't imagine what it must've been like to be actually in that hail and lightning storm! Stay safe out there! 😮
Always, thank you!
Breathtaking scenes and beautifully filmed. Great stuff, looking forward to the next installment. Many thanks
Many thanks! Coming in 30 minutes
Love those trail markers, As usual , agree with pinned post. Two thumbs up!
Glad you like them! Thanks Lynn!
👋Hi there Norwegian Xplorer,
Another wonderful video shared. Always thrilling, exciting & enjoyable!
The wild weather "adds" to the adventure, although the weather was so merciless here.
Glad to see that you dealt with it so well.
I'm slowly catching up on all your videos, one by one, but will take me a few days to watch all.
Tusen takk for sharing.🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful adventure
Thank you!
Wow that’s some storm ⛈️
Yeah it was!
@@NorwegianXplorer I’ve now subscribed to follow your adventures 👍
@@LoneWolfExplorer Awesome, thank you and welcome!
❤Such beautiful country hate mosquitoes and bugs period. Ill never get there so its beautiful looking at it from ur view. ❤
Thanks!
The colours are incredible. Looking forward to the next part!
Thank you! Cheers!
Well hail!!! I love thunder storms.....when I'm inside.
Glad all is well x
Thank you!
Wow that’d even be big hail for the US Midwest! The heat builds up to incredible storms. Happy July!
Same to you!
Our holy mother!! What wild weather is this!!
It was pretty crazy
Fantastic content, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The other day , we here in the United States got DVD sized hail. Such fun :)
Haha!
So beautiful. Also a great review for that tripod 😂
Haha, indeed, serves many purposes!
Here in Kentucky USA I've seen hail the size of your fist which can be deadly if you can't get to shelter not to mention the damage it does to trees, crops , homes and other infrastructure! I've had my fair share of close lighting strike that leave you feeling a tingling sensation. I've also seen trees and metal fencing have 3 to 7 feet of small lighting bolts reaching into the air above them during or just before a large lightning strike near by! I think the technical name for that is "leaders" do to the extreme electrical charge difference of the earth to the atmosphere in a thunderstorm. All that said I still enjoy mother nature's fury even while hiking or camping!
I have heard stories about the weather you get over there, sounds bad! Here the hail usually turn into snow before it gets bad, this is the biggest hail I have seen here, but still nothing compared to the states, exciting from under a tarp though:-)
Friskt vågat och bra kämpat
Takk takk!
Salute from Pakistan
Hey there!
Brilliant video as usual...greetings from Northern Ireland...we get these types of summer as well😂
Thank you Stephen!
This video was wonderful looking forward to the rest following it.😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an unexpected experience! wow!! Huge hail and lightning! A harrowing time for you. Probably not a fun hike for you. Thank you for sharing with us. One never knows when something like this can come upon the day! Happy you made it out in one piece! Blessings.
Thank you, I actually enjoyed it, but it was unexpected for sure!
@@NorwegianXplorer Ah, I can understand your enjoying it. A new experience and you were protected under the tarp. Glad you shared it with the world - we all get to see it with you - in the comforts of home with coffee. LOLOL Looking forward to the coming days on this GREAT 14 day camping trip!
@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits Thank you, next episode is coming soon, probably next weekend
Actually coming today
❤ WOW thats alot of stuff to be carrying. So i guess by now 7-12-23 u are already done with ur trip hopefully it wasn't to bad. Love from Kansas 💜❤️💜💙
I am, there are more videos coming from this trip, it was rainy days to say the least!
Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure, but what a start. Hail is the worst, get quite a bit of it here in Wales and with high winds it really hurts. Hope the weather improves for the rest of your trip.
Thank you, gonna be a lot more bad weather in this series lol
