My AMERICAN Story REVEALED. Leaving Winter Van Life for the ULTIMATE 5000 Mile USA Camping Road Trip

I am Revealing my true American story in the Ultimate Road Trip Camping Adventure Movie through the American West. From Freezing Cold, Snow & Thunder Storm to sweltering desert heat. Death Valley, The Sierra Nevada, Monument Valley, Yellowstone, Mt Whitney, Overlanding Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Las Vegas, Nevada, the Great Plains. All the scenic highways, like the Beartooth HW, HW 12 & the Burr Trail. 5000 miles of travel through the wild west as I rediscover my love for my second home. An incredible Journey through desert and prairie. Wild Camping, Car Camping, Stealth Camping the National Parks, Mountains and Desert. I also need to visit Matt's Off-Road Recovery, why?
This is a very long movie for Thanksgiving season.

Enjoy camping, hiking and vanlife friends from around the world!

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.

[NorwegianXplorer]

I really appreciate all your kind comments and I am really grateful to all of you!

[trsintexas]

I appreciate you sharing a little about your past. It’s also nice to hear someone speak so positively about America and some of the reasons why we are proud to call it home. We don’t hear a lot of positivity about our country in the mainstream media, whether at home or abroad. Thank you for recognizing some of the things that make America special.

[trsintexas]

I’ve been listening to your music on Spotify while I’m working. Who knew this whole time while watching your videos, we were listening to your beautiful music!

[bodilvigre]

Nydelig og variert video. Kjente meg igjen mange plasser. Glad eg brukte 7t og 14 min for å sjå videoen. Takk Jarl❤️

[itsherlocknosh]

Fabulous work. Your video brought back many memories of my own travels throughout the American and Canadian West. I've always lived in the Northeast of the US but I've been back and forth to the west coast and everywhere in between by car, truck, and six times on a motorcycle. I've driven most of the roads you highlighted myself. My memory of Beartooth Pass Summit was enjoying the view but then watching one of my riding gloves fly over the side of the mountain. My left hand got mighty cold! Thank you for your work.

[johng]

Been watching utube for many many years, many many subjects and presenters. I say without fear of contradiction “Norwegian Xplorer” has the classiest presentation of all I have enjoyed. 
Beautiful visuals intermingled with enough commentary to keep the interest alive. Thank you for sharing...

[diannebalemi]

I should've realized you are an artist from your amazing photography, i will check out your music too. Here in NZ we have a great love of our land, too, we are not vast like the usa but have very beautiful scenery. I really enjoyed your usa trip, I have been following you from very early on, and cant thank you enough for filling my sleepless nights after i had a stroke with stunningly beautiful snowscapes, and great storms, i admireyour driving skills, especially as i cant ever drive again Thank you. ❤

[odddanielsen]

Helt fantastisk video Jarl.et enormt stort område du har vært i, må være en av verdens vakreste nasjonalparker i verden. Virkelig en flott video, mvh fra nordnorge 😊

[marianneoshkabewisens]

I have to say .. but far your videos are the absolute best.. there is no one that can top your amazing presentations … very humbling, so thankful, with love always 🦅♥️🙏🏽

[daveadams]

Epic video👍 I watched it over several days. Definitely makes me want to explore the US as well. So much to see and do and never a dull moment. That's what life is about making the most of every day on earth.

[GandalphybengalKittenRules]

Now all your Lady Admirers get to See the Summer Adventurer as Well!

[Alwaysherethere]

Just finished watching this amazing video! Now im a new subscriber!

[CharmaineP-zqxl]

Hi Jarl. Thank you once again. This was beyond awesome. I enjoyed every minute of the 7 plus hours. Even the background music is lovely. Also kinda enjoyed your time with Jamal. It was hair raising at times i admit especially the falls and slippery rocks. I supposei its all part of the Adventure. I didnt realise you were a music producer and so involved with music as well. Maybe you will get back into it some day. .Well well done. A man with many caps...i am selfish Jarl im looking forward to your next adventure in the Arctic. I love the cold. Its so hot and humid here at the moment. Cheers and have a good one. Keep warm and safe ❤🍻

[reginebilliet]

I'm glad for you, dear Jarl, you had such a good time in USA. Going back to a place where one has been so happy, where one has experienced so many adventures, where one has made friends for life, is an undescriptible emotion. Freedom, but also health and I have watched all your American adventures, a few years ago yet. Seeing those sceneries again I'm very impressed. Monument Valley, your progression through the Escalante canyon, those red rock-formations are phenomenal, most of all by sunset when they are And those immense skies... The sunshine is so intense, that shadows turn completely dark....Thank you so much for this detailed evocation, for these overwhelming moments, it must have been quite a job. And of course, looking forward to meet you again under a harsh snowstorm, heading to... the north 😂 😆 😁 💜

[stanleylogan]

I am watching this in small pieces and I'm only on day three or so on your Ascent of Mount Whitney. There is some really beautiful scenery and the weather looks perfect. Thank you for recording your trip and sharing it with us!

[davidterrie]

I took many of those same steps from HM in August. I agree starting up Whitney at dawn is better. Your usual stunning footage. Fun to see you on the same trail.

[marianneoshkabewisens]

Safe travels back to your home, , sending comfort hugs .. be watching the upcoming winter experiences.. take care dear friend 🦅♥️🙏🏽

[melissajules]

Thanks for sharing this video. Your videos are informative, thrilling, and relaxing all at once. Thank you again for making me fall in love with nature. I'm looking for the winter videos, my favorite time.🎉❤

[catmama]

I’ve never seen such spectacular scenery. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

[BestTrader-hpsd]

Damn it, I was gonna say, I cannot wait to watch your festive travel videos and how you spend the holidays, now I know you already have other plans.
