My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Hakkapaliitta Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in the USA and Canada but with a diesel engine, like the one Ryan Twomey uses but diesel and manual transmission, not an Earthroamer by far lol.

Check out this other winter van life video in the series: • Surviving my first Winter of Extreme ...
Surviving my first Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping & Freezing Cold which includes:
This is my complete first winter of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. Starting in January I go through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from January to April, with snow storms, blizzards, extreme cold, extreme snowfall, slippery roads and some amazing winter beauty as well.
I also show you what I learned from my first winter in the van.
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.

I keep saying each film of yours is the best and this is no exception. The Northern Lights left me breathless. But the drive to North Cape was beyond awesome. How can there be so much beauty in one place! As a tourist I saw arctic Norway in summer, but in winter it's a whole different world! Again, thank you for taking me places I would never get to see. (Also love to see you cook! And make coffee.)

Simply beautiful.

This video must be played back on TV because it is stunning. Oh my gosh !!! I am like a child dreaming of snow and here it is. 🥰🤗❤ I saw it three times and always cannot finish watching the entire video. The music is soothing. One thing you must do is put on SPF sun blocker. If not, your sun-burned face will begin to peel. Be cautious. ❤❤❤🤗🛐

So Serene!! my heart & soul feels as if it is soaring like an Eagle❤❤❤

How…….WHERE do I begin ??? Best “warning” EVER. My tray table was put back n my seat pulled up n seat belted n with my shades. I do try to not sound like a broken record but I can’t help but use the same adjectives over n over. I mean this was SEVERELY incredible !!!! I find I “sigh” A LOT during ur videos. I feel SUCH amazement n G-Ds artistic Hand to create such diversity with lands n ppl. I can’t even comprehend to go out so far. N bless that drone too. It REALLY gives another perspective on these places. I can tell u really love it too. But u give us this Jarl. U allow us to go where we cannot. Thank u will never say enough. N bless the Grey Warrior which I pray over too asking G-D to hold up n such places n keep u warm n protected. When u driving toward the end to the end I was “comon Grey warrior keep goin honey” even cheering ur van onto this AH mazing place !!! I think ur just awesome our friend. U even encourage those on YouTube who have their own channels. This is true character n another reason I admire u so much. Yes I notice u eat a lot of spinach. It’s my main go to also n regards to veggies. N the coffee is always a winner. ALL the scenes with my son’s smile shining everywhere was a particularly special gift for me. THATs where my heart is…….whenever I see the sun I say to him how much I love him. I take many photos of the sun for this reason. Those Green Waves ? 🤷♀️ I have no words. N I am amazed n thankful for all those ppl who paved roads out that far n build fences to help protect others from avalanches. These folks r wonderful !!! N ur the best Jarl !!! Thank u for taking us with u !!!!! 👍🙏❤️‼️ TJ

If storm, or sun, it's all gorgeous nature!

Earth meets sky when day is done; perhaps the two are really one.

Everytime I watch these wonderful footages, I feel no sadness or pain anymore 🧡🧡🧡 Travelling through your reality like if it was in our dream.

Epic footage, both day and night. How magical were those northern lights! Hard to believe we have landscape like this in Europe. Stoked you made it to North Cape. Stunning sunset 🍻

This is absolutely the most stunningly beautiful scenery I've ever seen. It's gorgeous. It looks so pristine; like it's untouched by man. You are a master cinematographer. I watch your videos on my television, but I felt compelled to get on my computer to comment. By the way, I watch Foresty Forest too. You two are by far the best explorer channels on YouTube. Thanks

I'm watching your video on my large TV in my living room. The quality of the video is as great as the spectacular winter views that you filmed. Really amazing to see ❤
