    How is life in a tiny camper van? This is our attempt at showcasing some of the challenges and possibilities caused by living this way. Our classic camper van (Truck Norris) is a real veteran and has been around since 1986. Join us as we keep exploring the wild sides of Norway, from the dramatic waterfalls in the south, to the wild mountains of the north, we head on out on a real adventure as we cross the Arctic Circle and spend time in Steigen.

    I’ve missed your videos. We have had a long, frigid and snowy winter in Wyoming this winter. The snow is just starting to melt in our yard. I mounted new tires by myself on my 1978 VW Camper bus, just for something to do. Now that it’s finally warming, I’m painting the bus. I’m looking forward to some trips in our mountains this summer. No fjords in Wyoming, but we do have pretty mountains with moose, bears, elk and nice water falls. Safe travels!😎👍

    Your videos transport me to breathtaking places I never knew existed. For this, please accept my sincere thanks.
    Simon, I enjoyed the look Benedikte gave you when you referenced her making food, at about the 3:30 mark. I get that look from my wife very often when I say something similar.
    A few weeks ago, I van camped/explored for 12 days in the southeastern USA, now that the weather has warmed. It was nice to be out of the cold.
    Take care and safe travels.

    Great to see you guys on the road again: we missed you! Did you say this was filmed in August? We have just finished 3 months winter camping in our Syncro through Eastern Europe, Croatia and Italy and can’t wait to go off somewhere again. Looking for ideas for our next trip, we are considering coming to Norway in late August for a couple of months. How bad are the midgies (mosquitoes) at this time? Maybe we can catch you guys when we come - it would be great to meet you.

      @SimonBraeck  Рік тому

      Hi! Thank you☺️ It’s a law requiring you to keep your dog on a leash between April 1st and August 20th. This is to protect wildlife, birds, sheep, cows, goats and reindeer that roams freely in Norway. Our husky has a super strong hunting instinct which is why we never let her run freely without us keeping a close watch. Farmers are supposedly allowed to shoot dogs if they are caught chasing their animals😳
