THIS CAR WAS NOT MADE FOR THIS | 1/2

▶️ Winter car camping in the Alps with my micro camper! In this video, I cross into Austria, sleep in freezing temps, cook in the forest, and hunt for a new gas canister—all while living out of my tiny car setup. Real winter adventure in a compact micro camper, with cozy moments, stunning views, and a few unexpected challenges along the way.

The smaller the setup, the bigger the adventure! Keep it coming! 🚗✨

The chicken was probably fine. It was packaged in low altitude I assume. When you are in the mountains air pressure is lower, so the air inside expands and the package looks swolen. Try it on your next trip from NL to the mountains by taking an empty closed PET-bottle from home to a high mountain - it will feel hard. On the mountain then open and close it again. Back home it will be crumpled. Science with Zoef!

Another adventure starts :D
3:24 sparks seems from static electricity usually with synthetic clothes especially outer layer ie jacket or sometimes sweaters . I get same while wearing my downjacket as its outer layer is made from nylon i guess.
For posture try pull up exercises as it will strenghten back muscles :)

Ik volg je sinds kort… leuk om te zien! Tips: vignet voor o.a. Oostenrijk en Zwitserland kun je (vooraf) online kopen. Dat scheelt tijd en houdt je ruit mooi schoon. Je kenteken wordt geregistreerd en het is geregeld.

Sneeuwkettingen heb je alleen nodig als de omstandigheden erom vragen. Een dun laagje sneeuw of schoon asfalt? Niet gebruiken, je maakt alles kapot.

15:45 use an interval timer to reminds you. 😊

[FamiliedeHaan-sb]

‘Because of the troubles your are probably watching’; haha, daar zit een kern van waarheid in. Al die filmpjes met zogenaamd hoe leuk en goed het allemaal gaat… eerlijkheid is veel leuker. Thank man!!!!

[josielinnea]

I love your outlook on things: If the car holds up then a great adventure, and if something breaks then a good story. I love your videos and enjoy seeing your channel grow!

[equaLx]

just wanted to say a quick thank you! saw your roadtrip to norway with the UP and it got me the motivation to do it in my `95 Opel Astra F. Ive done it all the way from germany through denmark, sweden, finland, up to nordkapp and now im currently in alesund, norway. Will be home in around a week and fulfill the 10000km roadtrip. Thank you so much, ive learned from your videos and adapted my plans! :)

Zoef, if you're reading this: Posture check!
(Great videos so far, can't wait for the next ones!)

[iMaleeee]

Great Video mate :)
Just a comment on the last bit about the posture; one of my colleague had this issue with staring at screen all day that he would not blink that much and this resulted in dry eyes, he had an app installed on his work PC that reminded every 15 mins to chill and not concentrate too much. You might be able to find a posture reminder app on your phone that reminds you about it. I had an app for water intake reminder, after a few weeks I had a routine and didn't need the app.

And dont be fooled with the fuel prices in germany, they vary depending of the hour of the day! Around 14/15:00 they are the cheapest

I know this is late, since the videos are already done, but Austria has a general "no wild camping" rule for the whole country. So what you did would be considered illegal if police finds you. In Austria camping can only be done at organized camping places and the only exceptions are short rest stops(max 4 hours) or if you get stuck on the mountain hike during a storm and such. Very good video so far. Can't wait for part 2.

3:15 Gewoon even checken voor lekstroom op het chassis. Simpel met een multimeter.

[milancev.]

As for the electricity, I think it's from the sweater, and the jacket seems to be made of wool. And the problem with posture... You're not the only one. I adjust the central rearview mirror and at that moment I realize that I can't see properly, because I started sitting "strangely" 😂

[RobdeVries-gnnq]

misschien een kleine tip, ik zag laatst iemand die zijn koelbox en een andere box voor zijn kleren had op een soort platteau die hij op zijn trekhaak deed, een soort van fietsendrager. Wat je ook zou kunnen doen om meer plek te crieeren is om een dakkoffer op je dak te zetten waar je spullen in doet zoals je kleding

[pokuspilatus]

Leuk om jouw video's te zien. Ik ben zelf een caravaner maar het is erg leuk en leerzaam om te zien hoe jij zo de wereld ontdekt. En over jouw houding... ach... in jouw volgende leven word je vast een ballet danser, dus ik zou het gewoon zo laten en lekker blijven genieten van wat je doet. Ik zou alleen zelf erg ongerust worden van zo'n olie Oja, problems or challenges, ik kies altijd voor het laatste :). Hfn en tot de volgende volg!

[AboutMyBikes]

Gas stations on the highway are usually noticeable more expensive compared to the ones in the city. Great episode again!

[VincentStikkelorum]

Amazing videos, already looking out for the next one!
I hope you got the oil leak fixed and the gearbox filled up in between. Don't want to run on dry gears.

Let's 🎉

(About the posture: have a visit at a chiropractor once in a while. Your spine will be corrected and the muscles 'automatically' correct with it as well)

The vignet in the middle of the windshield triggered me 😂 I have all those damn stickers outside of my field of view on the right side

[TacticalAviator]

Was weer een goeie video! Vond je Noorwegen vlog ook geweldig, hoop dat je nog meer van zulke content kan maken
