Surviving my 1st Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping, Freezing Cold, Snowfall

What I learned from my first Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping, Extreme Cold in the Arctic North & Winter Prep #vanlife #wintervanlife #surviving

Extended version with van winter prep for the 2024 season, and info on tires, insulation, batteries and more.

3 hour version of 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 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.

Includes Camping in Winter in snow storm in my van/Rv whereI found myself stuck in a blizzard on a mountain pass in a snow storm. Elements of ASMR and strong wind sounds.
The weather forecast said 27 m/s, 60 mph or 97 kph and the wind and snow was howling. It was a whiteout. At the end of the day I had an interesting stormy view while having my breakfast, coffee and making pan pizzas.

Enjoy camping 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.

Many years ago stationed in the US military in a very cold place I learned to start the vehicle every 12 hours and let it warm up when it was extremely cold out.

I will just have to admire from afar. I’m in Australia and the footage you bring to us is truly breathtaking. I’ve never seen snow but love your videos. 😊

Thank you for giving us an unforgettable visual feast on roads that most people would not dare to go. We would be very grateful if you could display the roads you have traveled on the map from time to time. While you were driving on snowy and icy roads, I got nervous at home. We are waiting for your new adventures. Kind regards. Greetings from Türkiye...
