Surviving the Arctic winter in the back of a van
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- The time has come to leave Norway and to head over to Sweden in the camper van, in search of extreme cold temperatures during the Arctic winter. And joining me again today is @MispronouncedAdventures
On the way there I was blessed by Mother Nature with the most amazing sight, and one I will never forget!
Following that, we headed to the town of Kiruna, and found a van life park up for the night. I then explored the Ice hotel before heading deep into the Arctic wilderness. It was an incredible night where we trekked across a frozen lake!
There were some worrying sounds coming from the forest, and some thick snow made an appearance to top it all off. What an incredible part of this Arctic van life road trip!

One day I will come face to face with a wild Womble. And life will be complete!
Wimbledon common buddy...😂
The good thing is you can spot one underground and overground.
I’ll be on the lookout for great uncle Bulgaria!
Long way from Sweden! Love the gag with the Moose. With those lovely dark skies...I feel a gag with a Milky Way or Mars coming!@@Adz
What a video Ads!!
Absolutely amazing adventure through beautiful scenery, That is one adventure you will remember for the rest of your life bud, Stay safe and enjoy ❤
Pleasure to spend time with you! and I’ll leave you a great Tripadvisor review for the pizza I was served
Likewise. And thanks mate.. I’ll create a new menu next time too 😂
Another worthy example of quality video making. The wife just came in and caught me watching, she said "not another van video", I rebuked her with: "this is not just another van video, this is 'our man' Adz on tour representing our home town with amazing footage from a dream journey", she smiled with a gentle air of understanding and went into another room to watch Eastenders. 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
I’ve had a bad mental health week this week but thank you for the most glorious 20 minutes of nature and funnies
Thank you for taking me to places I will never ever go to 😘
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Mate, you are the man for sure. Usual mix of awesome scenery, Adz humour and Adz-ventures. You're doing what so many of us would love to do, but don’t have the gonads the size of yours. Can’t bloody wait for the next one mate, so stay safe and keep them coming. Total respect for you Adz 👍🏻
Best van lifer on UA-cam period
That drone shot at 3:37 looks amazing, it doesn’t look real!! Looks like a drawing to be honest
Mate you got me with the moose outside yer hoose 😂, and the pigeon is doing you proud 👍
I can’t believe I got to see one so close! 😂
Was not expecting Wombles 😂😂 Awesome video as always!!
I've enjoyed your videos from day 1, but this Arctic series is just brilliant mate. I just watched this while on my break in my lorry and it took me right away from my dull day for a little while. Thank you for letting me vicariously through you! 😂❤🙌🏻
All your videos are just ace to watch and show how normal you are 😁😁
That footage of the deer near the beginning was amazing 😍 and I love your humour too! 😂 that mousse!
episode after episode it gets better and better, you're doing a great job !!
Going in to the woods.....at night....."bear hunting" 🤭🤭
Then youre on your back with your legs in the air waiting for Alex! 😂🤣😂
Looks mega cold there, but at least you're having fun 👍🍻🍻
Yeah it’s a big nippy! Haha. But yeah loving it
Love your humour got well excited to see the moose lol ,so glad uou had company had a bad day today and you made me laugh and brighten up the day❤
Nice to see your still in good spirits and the moose didn't eat you
You got me with the moose 🤣 Great footage with the drone and also inside the ice hotel. Great show as usual mate, love your humour.
That mousse was impressive to see in the wild. Stay safe.
Great video. The scat tasting had me in in stitches 😄
Glad the heater is still working
Last two episodes have been your best so far. Great stuff👍👍👍
Brilliant video 👏 I'm binge watching your adventures during storm Eowyn 💨🌬️ you've got me in stitches with your witty humour, dont think id be brave enough to venture out after the thermal image showing all those wolves so close to your camp 🤣
The best van adventures i have found on yourtube and the comedic content alone is amazing good luck dude and continue to stay safe
I used to leave carrots out for the reindeer each Christmas..
They were always gone by the morning so I assumed they enjoyed them🤦♂️
In other words maybe those 3 would enjoy a munch.. Smashing adventure BTW
Brilliant video you hear the wolf's then go walking lol nutter haha
I am a subscriber of Will whereabouts, which is a similar channel to yours and after recently discovering your channel I can safely say yours is much better.👍
Absolutely top Britishness going on here. David Adzinborough 🤣
You are actually the most entertaining and visually inspiring Arctic traveller out of the large group that went out this winter. keep it up, and see you on the road. I'll be in Glencoe doing a pale imitation of your vlog after Easter! In MOAB_3.
Being in nature is always nice.., glad to see ur doun alrite man 👍
Just finished my own sprinter build this week. This channel (and Alex's) helped bump the inspiration to get the last bits finished. Next October, Arctic circle, can't wait.
Enjoy the arctic!
Yeah it’s things like watching Alex up there last year that made me get on and finish my van! Good luck!
@@Adz Yea some of his drone shots from last years trip are epic. No doubt I'll pass you both on the road at some point. See ya up there
Hands down the best vanlife series I've ever watched.... from forest forest to wills whereabouts. Simply magnificent.
Thank you so much!
You make smile. Love your videos.
This is the best van trip I've ever seen, the footage is incredible. as are you. Thanks so much for making your trip ours too.
Another epic video, what an experience you’re living, all the best, David & Rachel 👍
Adz I’ve got to be honest I’m enjoying this Arctic trip more and more. Was in Lapland in December took my 6 year old to see Santa and the scenery was stunning. More of the same please! Can’t help feeling you could have had some fun if you’d taken an Arctic Roll (my favourite dessert) along for the journey and potential bantz factor😉. 9.6!
The Drone Shots are Top draw Adz Mate 👌
Adzs omg those wolves howling in the woods would have made me run a mile lol. Loving yr trip. Maxx
Stunning shot of the mousse, you just don’t get to see them that close usually out there!! Excellent as always mate stunning photography and drone footage, loving this series, nice one mate
The cinematography is just getting better and better. Love the humour, it's a British thing to plan a gag 3 weeks in adzvance..!!
Thank you mate!
Great update Adz, I dont know how you went for a walk in the other direction from the Wolves, I'd have been terrified they would have come after me haha. Looking forward to the next one as usual.
I think a shout for you is to get a CB radio adam; there's a supprising ammount of people in the UK back on them, and they've usually got really good range!
Thats mousse joke was comedy gold! 😂
wild wombles, Id be gone in a flash!
I just love watching your adventures, the subtle humor is not lost on me, love it. Keep it up.
The wolves ❤❤ that was amazing to see, glad they were respectful of our Adz.. Love the fact you appreciate a wotsits sandwich as much as I do 😁
Hey Adz. Came here to say you make a brilliant ready brek kid in the arctic. I have loved this series so pleased you got your drone back. I'm not gonna lie I am major jealous of your ability to travel anywhere in the pigeon. I think the BBC should employ you. I got quite emotional when you managed to get footage of the northern lights it is breathtaking. Need more adventures for me to binge watch over breakfast. ✌🏻👍🏻
Thank you! I’d love to have a whole production team filming an adventure for me! Maybe one day haha. But yeah this was definitely a memorable trip. I’ll be on another one pretty soon!
Your funny geezer, wicked footage mate, 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Absolutely PMSL @ the ''MOUSSE'' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another inspirational video. Cheers Adz keep em coming and stay safe
Just wow, the beauty of this place and your filming is just amazing 🤩 appreciated 👍🏽🌹
Wow adz , every adventure gets more and more spectacular every week . U must have filled ure trousers on hearing the wolves howling , thats maybe where ure heat was coming from lol . Joking aside, love watching ure videos and hopefully one stumble across you when ure up here in scotland one day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪💪💪
another spectacular vid. glad to see you in a coat!
Another great vid. I think you are the wildlife out there! Stay safe & warm ❤
Hmmm
Pigeon has love🎉
Yes, I enjoyed it and look forward to the next.
These episodes are getting more whacky and more epic! 😅 loving them! Top work 🫶
Adz the scenic footage you get it genuinely moving. Just amazing! 😍 Damn you for getting me with the mouse gag, I was on the edge of my seat excited to see a Moose 😅 The Ice hotel looked incredible! Seriously this series just gets better and better...I don't want it to end! 💙
Haha well there was definitely a moose there :/ I love that you’re enjoying it so much! Thank you :)
@@Adz it was a lot smaller and sweeter than I was expecting 🙈🤣🤣 It's brilliant!! Even better than I thought it was going to be before you set off! 😁
Look sick there mate
These meetup videos are really great, I like the solos, but we need more episodes like this. Fingers crossed for next year! 🤞👍
Yeah it’s always good to have company on the trips too!
that mousse gag though!
Love it mate love these videos, it’s great to see Alex been following his trips for a while now 👌🏻 keep up the good work. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴
You have a great sense of humour, and I love your videos. Do you prefer cold weather than hot. love your healthy food ha ha....stay safe.🐻❄🐻
I’m not too sure. I think cold is better yeah. But I’m definitely a fan of ‘quite warm’ 😂
Absolutley love watching your Artic Adzventures cant wait for the next video
Looks quality !!!
Awesome sense of humour.Really enjoyed watching you.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Loving this series of videos. I gave up with David Attenborough years ago. You are the next thing, and the BBC should sign you up. But they wont because they are ******. Keep up the good work, and thank you.
Brilliant video
That moose joke was brilliant hahaha
Actually, moose are really rare that far up North. He has encountered some reindeer which are far more frequently to be seen.
I can’t believe I got to see a moose that close up!
Hahaha 😂😂 You crack me up man haha @@Adz
Brilliant video. Well done bro.
Absolutely loved that video mate 🙌🏻
You need to try throwing hot water in the air at -25. It turns to steam/vaper instantly. Only works with hot water.
Yes! Monday night sorted 👌
Looks like I got some catching up to do!
Stay blessed geez stay active as always ☝🏼❤️ 🤜🏼
Shots of the blessed nature that was the Reindeer if I’m not mistaken. 🤩
That mousse was a fortunate find.
Still can’t believe my luck! 😂
Good one, as always..
Loving this trip mate, keep it coming.
Oh right, so I visit and I get bread, and a corner to wee in.. Alex visits and he gets served artisan pizza! 😏
I think this is your best video yet, your videography skills are incredible! 👏🏻
How could you forget the mini cheddars!!! They’re a high quality snack!
Thank you :) hopefully we can catch up soon!
Hey Adz, thanks for sharing this vid. I'm a bit behind watching this and have the follow up vid to watch too, hope all going well on your trip and again greetings from Kilkenny R.O.I 🇮🇪
Nice
Absolutely wicked 👌.love watching your videos. We have just finished a 3 week trip up to the artic circle and into Finland but in August there isn't a lot of snow 😁. Hats off to you mate, total respect 👍
Thanks mate! I’d love to see it without the snow too! Might have to go up again in the summer
Loved the whole video, especially the moose part.
Thank you!
Another funny and entertaining video 😂, keep safe out there , loving this epic journey 😊☯️
Thanks Adz!…brilliantly funny!…had me laughing out load in places…stay safe, stay you, your a one-off and thoroughly entertaining…Brian.
Thank you Brian! Glad you enjoyed it!
keep up the good content with the Pidgeon
My area. Greetings from Kiruna.
Oh Adz! 🤣
Excellent as always.
You’ve come so far since the jellybean,you have evolved into a top rate content maker,Chris
Nice one Adz, you're getting really good with the drone. atb
Thank you !
Evening Adam….you found the cold weather then….👍😳😜👌🇮🇲
I did indeed!
So.....the algorithm not tinder got us together! Mate why the crocodile hat are you not getting higher views? Brilliant quality videos. That northern lights mate! Brilliant. Finding the drone for digital bird. Just on ep 7 having watched back to back. Good luck in the future. Brilliant stuff. Cheers
Meant to add your sense of humor is right up my tarmac road.
Thanks mate! I was hoping for higher views on this series but hopefully the algorithm will pick up again this winter. Shouldn’t be long before a new series starts too!
@@Adz I hope it does get traction. Deserves it. Seeing other ones now scoring much higher views. Maybe thumbnails?
@@damianfuller74 my click through rate, retention etc is always really good so I think it’s just a case of keeping at it until something starts really taking off!
Keep it up matey. You have it! Cheers
Cool 😎
Great adventure, keep living your life your way.
Thank you!
What an adventure..I would love to go there in the summer ...too cold for me ..loved the ice hotel...enjoy yourselves
Superbe vidéo..merci....👍👍👍👏👏
Congratulations on the 50k mate
Thank you!! 🎉
Another fantastic video, as someone else has already said, you e made my week so much better . My van was nicked last week and you have cheered me up no end while I wait for the inevitably naff insurance payout. Thank you so much 😊 peculiarlyhookedonpendle xx
Thank you! And I’m sorry to hear about the van. That’s so bad! Really hope the payout happens soon and it’s enough to get another one sorted!
This gets better every episode. Loved it, great footage again. 😁👌🏽
Thank you!
Hey Adz very funny vlog! loving the drone footage it was absolutely epic!!! The mouse thing got us both 🤣🤣
