Winter Camping in a Snow Storm, Solo Backpacking the North in a Blizzard - Cold Tent (Extended)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- In this video I go Winter Camping in a Snow Storm/Blizzard without a hot tent, it has been a while since I went Winter Camping in a Snowstorm so this is an extended version, nearly twice as long as the original in anticipation of Winter Camping season that starts soon. I found the Storm Sounds from the second camera I was bringing and used that for its better wind sound quality. Using my Hilleberg Soulo & new Hyperlite Mountaingear Southwest 4400 backpack, I couldn't resist going out backpacking & camping in this snow storm, or blizzard, that has been going on for a week. The forecast said 28m/s, 63mph or 101km/h winds with minus ÷10°c or 14°F temperatures. I choose snow shoes for this early winter season trip, since the snow hasn't settled yet. It was wild but beautiful as I found a spot in the forrest with a bit more shelter from the wind. First trip with my new Hyperlite Mountaingear Southwest 4400 backpack.
(Extended version)
This extended version has a more detailed look at preparing and setting up camp, as well as more time in the tent and a full gear list. I have also used the sound from both cameras I brought.
Check out this other winter camping video as well • Winter Camping in Cold...
Full gear list at the end of the video.
About me: I am a Norwegian adventurer and wilderness explorer. My youtube channel focus on outdoor wilderness adventures and exploration, backpacking, hiking, canyoneering, skiing, climbing and mountaineering. Nights spent in a tent, alone or with friends. From the snow covered mountains and misty fjords of Norway and Scandinavia to the remote plateaus of Yellowstone and the debts of the red canyons of Utah to the summit of Mt Whitney and the heart of Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park. I love the Wilderness! Email is under "For business inquiries", for general questions please comment on a video, I try to answer everyone. A warm welcome all the new viewers from around the world, really appreciate you all. A lot of you are from Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom (Englad, Scotland, Wales, N Ireland), Australia, Korea and Turkey, welcome to you and everyone else!

That is one of the best video's I have seen in a long time. Min talk and a blizzard on video. I love it.
Cool!
You have me in tears here because I don’t see any heat!!! 🥲🥲
There is no heat:-)
I absolutely love this. "Winter blizzard in the woods" is my favorite camping. I have not been able to do so in over 5 years now, so thank you for bringing us along on your trip.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
I wouldn't really call it camping. I call it surviving nature.
Awesome ❤️🇱🇰 I'm watching from srilanka
Thank you!
Good luck !
You too!
Fantastic Jarl. I was there with you the entire time. Really enjoy the fact there’s no music. So tranquil, despite the snow storm. We’ll done 👍
Thank you!
Watching From Atl, Georgia USA…..thanks for sharing. Love your work, keep the vids coming.
Thanks for watching!
The blizzard is very interesting. Thank you for letting us stay with you, the scenery is beautiful, have a good time
Thank you too!
I love a good blow. That wind was wild! The art of the pitch in a storm. Nicely done.
Thanks Liz:-)
You're so RIGHT, Jarl definitely has pitching a tent down to an art form.
Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada
Great video! The wind howling across the land, lashing the trees and rattling the tent was the perfect soundtrack, no superfluous attempt to dramatise with poorly chosen music noise. Other content creators take note please. This is how it's done. No halfwit dopey noises to distract or detract from this portrayal of the levels of brutal severity which winter weather can attain. Thankyou for your stoic resolve in making this film, in what for most of us, would be impossibly dangerous circumstances. Stay safe and best wishes, Art Sakr.
Thank you so much Arthur!
Amazing thanks for sharing this with us! 🤗💞💖
You are only 12 mins in and you have just exhausted me to the max. I found that 8 was holding my breath for the last two minutes.
Lol, sorry about that!
Planning to cross the Pyrenees in feb,coming from Africa,this video put things in perspective!!! Rock on!!!
Thanks and good luck!
I love to see you in the snow, great video Thanks!😘
Thank you Joke!
The love of nature, especially of your country, Jarl, must be of the highest level to face such extreme winter conditions : the snowflocks swept up as swords into your face by the howling blizzard... What 's more : all alone amid the wilderness, no house, no phone, no contact to anybody. We see you wrestling by setting up your tent. I often wonder what do you do if you don't feel well ? Can happen, doesn't it ? - Nevertheless the views of pinetrees beaten by the snow are as "live" christmas-postcards. Amazing ! Thank you Jarl to let us participate of this fantastic experience... from our lazy chair, near the chauffage...with a glass of wine... ! ❤ 😃
If I dont feel well I try to sleep, usually takes care of most things
I got a chill just watching. Be careful out there.
Finally an extended vers. of one of my favorite adventures ;)
Awesome, thank you!
I like hiking❄️ in bad weather 🗻 especially in winter❄️👍 good for testing yourself🗻as well as clothing and equipment👍 nice trip❄️❄️❄️
Thank you!
amazing , I’m in awe of the places you take us, really appreciate all the hard work hiking . thanks for such a great adventure😍
Glad you like them my friend!
I thank you for the insight. But can we not go back too miles per hour and stuff that makes far more sense than kilometres. Please let us go back too realistic measurements 😮❤❤
Great video! I was like “get in the f* tent man, come on” for the first 24 minutes LOL That’s a harsh weather for sure but perfect for watching in a warm cozy home ❤ Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
So love all ur adventures 💖 thank u so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I love this - I love DOING this where I live - thank you for this video! Det er greit! Tusen takk, Jarl.
Thaks Michael
Love to watch these in my warm environment, I think to see a little scary action with a good ending
Cool:-)
Wow dude. You guys are lucky to have blizzards and snow like that...only a dream here
It is quite cool yes 🙂
What a fantastic piece of cinematography my friend. This looks absolutely breathtaking!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Cheers!
BEAUTIFUL SNOW,
I’M WATCHING FROM WASHINGTON STATE USA,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS,🎄🌲
Greetings and happy holidays!

Awesome! Thank you!
The sounds of the storm put me to sleep. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you:-)
Great trip you did it with your best skills

Thank you!
Amazing Winter Camping Adventure !!
Thank you!
As a kid i grew up near the rocky mountians and i loved the extreme weather, these videos are so exciting to me, almost inspiring me to go live again. My sister lives in oyèr. Maybe i need to visit and experience what norway has to offer
You should!
To Dr CT
very beautiful. I like. very useful😊
Thank you! Cheers!
May I know what kind of camera and lens you use?
@@fwfamilycamping This was filmed with an iphone 13 promax and a gopro hero 10

Now that's what i call survival.
Thank you!
I went to college in Iowa and loved the cold weather. Cold here is under 70Fahrenheit. Hahaha
Lol
Working very Hard brother💕
🙏
63 mph winds! Wind chill becomes a problem at those speeds. Good campsite location in that hellish wind. Good video quality, especially at night. I'm surprised a Norwegian is using snowshoes instead of skis. I actually own a pair of ASNES Combi Combat Norwegian military skis - all white, natch. But yeah, I do own a pair of MSR Lightning Ascent 'shoes for hunting in rugged terrain where skis would not work well.
My solo winter tent is a modified TARPTENT Moment DW (Double Wall) with heavier duty poles. With 2 doors & vestibules and good high/low ventilation it does well in winter.
My mummy bag is a size Long -20 F. 750 fill down bag with all elasticized draw cords. Size Long for water and boot liner storage.
Fingers frozen now, just watching that bitter cold site! Both beautiful and treacherous! ❄
It really is!
I LIKED LIGHTING OUTSIDE THE TENT, REALLY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
☺️
Impressive! That is some hardcore winter camping brother. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Frank!
RESPECT,,RESPECT,,멋지다,,,,GOD,,BLESS,,YOU
Thanks, you too!
Keep safe always
Off course!
Great video 🙂👍I just lovet winter camping. It's my biggest passion 😍😍
Mine too:-)
That looks crazy cold ❄
It was a bit chilly yes:-)
Thank you for adding the extended version! This video shows a more realistic view of the effort to pitch a tent in stormy winter conditions.
Since you have both a Soulo and a Nallo tent I would be curious as to how they compare with ease of pitching and time required to pitch.
Excellent video 👍 ❤
Glad you liked it! I think the Nallo is easier to pitch in winter storms, less lines to get tangled in, but they are both good.
Good Question. I read NE's answer. I, too, like the "Extended" version for the same reasons.
Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada
I have added 12 sturdy small elastic bands to my Soulo RL guy lines where they attach to the tent, to keep the guy lines easily wrapped up if needed. Only a few grams extra and much less hassle when pitching or packing. Not sure how the elastic would hold up in freezing temperatures, they would probably snap.
A bit of stretchy paracord, with an adjustable loop, could achieve the same and is probably more useful in winter.
Flott tur, fin video. 👍
Takk:-)
I'm a bit curious how many times should someone practice this in their backyards before going out in the middle of nowhere to do it?
I also don't understand why so many european tents don't have tent bottoms in them? This is a big disadvantage IMHO.
These real skill videos are fun to watch.
Thank you, these are expedition tents that goes to the Arctic and Antarctica on polar expeditions, there is a floor in the sleeping area but not in the vestibule.
@@NorwegianXplorer Tack sa mycket! Jag ska tittar andra videor fran du.
@@noahriding5780 Thank you!
I love your videos they help me relax and sleep at night.
That is great to hear!
excente videos con un grado de dificurtq muy grande por el clima bendicciones para ese equipo de personas
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your camping adventure..... I hope to see many more does a real small heater by Walmart if you Google it In the USA Walmart it's on sale for 20 bucks... It doesn't look bad heavy it's it's the top of its the size of a cup..... I had one before it works really well and it's not that heavy.... I hope you're doing fine have fun your USA friend
How do you power it?
Very good very nice
Many many thanks
lots of fun
Thanks Robert!
Winter is coming!!!
indeed!
Only one layer tent in snow?
I can't believe
Good video.
Ah noo,two layers!!
Its a Hilleberg Soulo
It’s my dream to travel like this and enjoy camping 🏕 like that. Hope smday I will make it happen.
I love the video's with zero talk and weather like this.
Thank you!
كم اعشق هاذ الجواء الثلجيه اخوك من دولة العراق
Thank you, greetings!
A lot of hard work appreciate your video great
Thanks 👍
Hello I am from India..
I love to see solo campaign in snow
Love from India
Thank you and welcome!
Superb video!
Thank you!
You experienced almost the same weather I found last summer ! :) .
Jocking apart , it's amazing to realise that some gear can resist to such an extreme conditions ...that are just for strong men :) .
Greetings ,
Fabio
Thanks Fabio, it was quite the experience, hope to get some more storms this winter
@@NorwegianXplorer I like the fact that you like such a strong weather conditions ...for me one would be already enough (just to impress my friends :) ) .
I'm pretty sure that you are going to experience more of them during the winter...and we always like your "video doc" .
Bye
@@fabiocordon1 Thanks Fabio!
@@NorwegianXplorer Меня бы ваша тёплая одежда не спасла от холода, после ночлега без обогрева. У корейцев видела какие-то термопатчи, которые они подкладывали в одежду, укладываясь спать в мешке. Неужели утром вас не сковывает холод?
@@adminsz3259 The body heat warms the inside of the sleeping bag, so it is quite warm🙂
Suas aventuras são sempre incríveis.Assistindo aqui no Brasil
Thanks Simone, greetings!
엄청 악천후속에서 캠핑을 하셨군요 한국에서는 보기힘든 자연경관입니다 한국어제목과 자막 감사합니다
언제나 안전하고 즐거운 캠핑하시길 바랍니다 잘봤습니다
Thanks for watching!
Stunning as ever
Thanks Rob!
Always watch these and wonder how people of years gone by coped, what they wore and ate, how they kept warm
@@robandrews9165 Yeah, they built some good constructions up here, mostly tents with fireplaces in the middle I believe...
@@NorwegianXplorer sounds amazing right?
It does, the Sami people still use those tents, I believe they are called Gamme or Goathi
Great video! It is interesting how similar my gear list is - even in another country. 90% of my gear is exactly the same. It is interesting to consider how this gear list today would be considered in 10 or 20 years from now.
Very cool! Yeah, I have been getting some uneducated bullying from people who say i shouldnt use a "plastic tent" 🤣
@@NorwegianXplorer it is great gear in my opinion. This is my hobby and I learn a lot about it and test it out regularly and have gone through many versions of gear and ended up with nearly the exact same kit that you have here. It is sometimes difficult to understand why/what is needed until you actually go out and try something like this on your own. We all have our personal preferences for gear and even need to learn what we prefer ourselves through trial and error. For example, I tend to like a 2-person version of the tent, the Tarra, at home and in theory, but the extra size and weight is definitely noticed in the mountains. Keep making great videos!
I dream of camping in the snow
❄
Unbelievable! 75 year old from Ireland.
Thank you!
A battle against the elements, looked extremely cold. I couldn't imagine trying to sleep. A November here in England 🇬🇧
It was a crazy storm but in the end I slept very well
Think about camping in the Appalachian Mountains during a U.S. visit. I live right next to them in Eastern Tennessee and it's gorgeous. Just south of me is the well known Smokies section, but it has many more bears there. They supposedly hibernate during winter.
A lot of snow got into your tent. Through the zipper?
Thanks, not much snow in the tent no, maybe a tiny bit in the vestibule that got under the fly and onto my boots
bien courageux au mileu de nul part😲
Ya really have to trust your gear and make sure your stove works. While watching video I had to get up and make some hot coffee cause I got cold. I'm an old man now and stuff like that happens. Did you have any scary dreams? Good job. Reno, Nevada.
Thanks T. No scary dreams that I can remember:-)
Wow amazing......
Thank you!
Good😍😍
Thanks!
As usual, Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow . very good
Thank you!
Love, love your videos! But do not understand having a tent without a bottom to it 🤷🏻♀️
There is a bottom but not in the vestibule
WOW SUPER
Thank you! Cheers!
love from pakisan.🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Greetings!
How are you liking the Soulo? I'm stuck between the Hilleberg Soulo and the Helsport Reinsfjell Pro 2 😅
I love it, best tent I have ever used, a bit small for winter stuff though
@@NorwegianXplorer i see, thank you for the response 😄
@@kniter Off course!
Admiro muito sua disposição em curtir essa beleza, assisto sempre que possível aqui do Brasil.

Was your food frozen lol. Great video man. You got a new subscriber here.
Hi from Canada
Hei Leigh, I was too tired to cock, so I ended up with sandwiches lol, thanks for the sub and welcome!
What no hot meal in a blizzard? Ha ha. I've always wondered how does one find their way out of the forest?
Would like to camp in the snow but I don’t think I can survive, watching you just enough to cozily feel the vibe without being too cold, how do you sleep and how to keep yourself comfortably warm enough so that you get enough sleep in the extreme weather like that?
The body heat warms up the sleeping bag from the inside, it is quite comfortable actually
I camped when it was 2” Celsius and I couldn’t sleep all night, what sleeping bag do you use?

Eu moro aqui no Brasil... e estou com frio só de assistir ...kkkkk
Thanks for watching Oneide!
Nasty storm ! I'm sure you where glad to be inside the tent at one point . Why did you feel you had to put snow around the base of your tent , it seemed it was well set up with all the guy lines ? You choose a good spot to set your tent . When available thought , I prefer to be surrounded by smaller trees for safety . Thank you for the gear list at the end and thank you for sharing this epic video
Thank you, the added snow makes it even more stable, and keeps snow from getting in under the fly.
Looks like northern Ontario Canada. I have seen -50 once at our 🏕 ⛺️ camp. -40 is quite common. Why do you measure wind in meters per second? We use kilometres per hour.
In Norway we use m/s, km/h would be around 101 for the wind speed on this trip
The miles per hour and miles in distance mean far more too me than kilometres. I still ask in the UK 🇬🇧 for a 1/4 of sweets. Kilometres mean nothing too me. I left school as kilometres came in. I’m still a pound and ounces girl. I went too college for catering and bakery. But I’ll still convert back to what I know. The weight changes and stuff was literally an excuse too increase prices. As the UK 🇬🇧 thank God is no longer in Europe. I can’t see why we can’t go back too gallons instead of litres and so forth. WHY NOT????????😢❤
@@janetburrows137 congratulations on being so stupid as to fail to grasp the metric system in 50 years. you're far too old for your opinion on this to be of any relevence.
@@janetburrows137 Well, the Imperial system is screwed. For example, in Canada an Imperial gallon is around 4.5 litres AND in the US, a gallon is around 4 litres. There is more...I am a surveyor and when surveyors work in Imperial, we work in 10ths, 100ths and even 1000ths of a foot. So, if work in decimal feet, I must then convert everything to carpenters rule because trades people have NFC what decimal feet are. Now, here is the beauty of metric, it doesn't matter what you do, everyone knows what a millimeter is, centimeter, meter and so on. I, as a surveyor love metric. Make my job way easier. I can work in both, but metric is so much cooler.
@@mikefoehr235
Mike Love. I’m glad you like 👍 the metric system. I just like the good old Miles etc.
I suppose it’s each too there own. You end up buying lots of new Tools cos of the different systems. But thank you 🙏 Love ❤️ for your response. God Bless you and All your family and friends. 👍💕🙏❤️🤷♀️
대단하시다
Thank you!
👍👍👍 -10 it's warm
Indeed
Great video! What camera are you using to vlog and take the other shots? How you keep their batteries warm?
Thanks, this was filmed mostly with an iphone 11 promax which is great in cold weather, some shots also with a gopro 10, which dies after a few minutes. I try to keep the gopro batteries close to my skin inside my clothes
