Tough Times Through Norway & Finland | Learning from the Past | X Overland Nordic Series EP4

This episode contains real footage from World War II. Viewer discretion is advised at around 34 minutes in.

Having accomplished their goal of reaching Nordkapp, the team is asking themselves the question all overlanders finally arrive at: What’s next?
Europe is steeped in history both modern and ancient, and everyone on the team will have to face humanity’s dark, war-torn past while pursuing the light of the present.

Heading east as far as they can to connect another major dot on the map, Clay and his crew make camp close to a distant border.
Then, it’s off to Finland to discover the horrors and triumphs behind the infamous Soviet-Finnish “Winter War.”

Travel with us in Episode 4 and catch the feeling of history along with the team!

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, sums up this episode succinctly. Great episode. 👍

As a former M1 Abrams crewman I loved seeing the old tanks. This is on of the best video series on YouTube. Looking forward to the rest. Greetings from Florida.

I can only congratulate your team for the content you have shared here, which reminds us that Peace is an essential but extremely fragile asset.

The Finn/Soviet war section gave me chills.. those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it

[viking.adventures]

I do enjoy your films and adventures. absolutely an amazing crew and continued inspiration for our community. that being said, I do find the climbing in, on, over the tanks that clearly had loss of life during war very disgraceful to those who lost their life in that equipment. artifacts such as those demand the most amount of respect and care. all in all thanks for showing your adventures and keep up the amazing work.

I could watch these and listen to Clay all day. Inspirational, educational and emotional all wrapped up beautifully for our viewing. Thank you!

These four episodes have been nothing but stuff you would in a Prius.

Three fantastic off road vehicles but zero off-roading. I can easily watch other channels to get museum content. I'm here to watch you guys navigate your vehicles through foreign terrain. Hopefully there's at least some of that to come in future episodes.

This just keeps getting better, congrats XO crew

What a powerful episode. Wonderful cinematography and narration. I learned history. I experienced wonder. And I shed a tear for the lives lost back then and the lives we are losing today.

[brianlombardi]

Thanks for continuing to put out such great content and cinematography. Greetings from Montana. 😉

I can't put into words how good this series is 🙌

[katherinefrost]

I am at a loss here… why are your expeditions not being covered by Netflix or some other form of mainstream media? I think that the average off-roader might skim through thinking that this content is irrelevant. And perhaps mainstream media may think that this is a niche community. However, the insight into the culture and history of your destinations far surpasses that of National Geographic. The cinematography is excellent, as is the narration and personal content. There are so many people out there who crave this content. I am only 1 minute into this video and I am blown away.
