Storm Van Camping Alone Goes Wrong! I Found a 1000-Year-Old Viking Town Visiting Norway’s North Cape



Nomad Van Life in the Arctic: A huge storm is coming in and I make a significant error of judgement in choosing my camping spot to stay safe with the van. Its gets bad and at 3 in the morning I am forced to leave.
I visit the northernmost viking town in the world, which is 1000 years old this year, and I go to the northernmost point you can get to with a vehicle in Europe, looking across the ocean towards the north pole.
Its the end of summer and the last night of midnight sun this far north passes in a storm, we are now heading into autumn.
Its probably the hardest rain summer I have been through, every episode has had a rain storm it would seem, and I am getting worn out and making camping mistakes I think. In the end the errors I make in this season are not deadly, but I better not be worn out when -40° hits as I am visiting the coldest places in Norway and riding out Blizzards and extreme snow storms.

Arctic summer rain storms and severe low-pressure systems are primarily called Arctic cyclones or Intense Summer Arctic Cyclones, sometimes also a European Monsoon (more commonly known as the return of the westerlies)

This is Arctic Life in a van, pure van living off-grid, alone in solitude and freedom. 1.5 hours of remote Norwegian Xplorer summer nomad van living.

My van is a Fiat Ducato, FWD with Nokian Hakkapalitta studless Winter Tires. This is the same as a Ram Promaster in America – USA and Canada.

About me: I am a Norwegian adventurer and wilderness explorer. My youtube channel focus on winter van life, survival in blizzards and snow storms and extreme temperatures. 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 in the USA. I love the Wilderness! Email is under “For business inquiries”, for general questions please comment on a video, I try to answer everyone.

  5. Incredible video i think of the finest and purest places i ever seen through your videos. I never heard small city like Gjesvar is celebrating it’s 1000 year anniversary big cities can do that but small city like Gjesvar remembers their founding date/year it’s been a great thing. Once again thanks to you for sharing this wonderful country’s beautiful shoreline, regards.

  6. Well mate you are a dab hand with your cameras and footage, but most splendidly aided by the natural beauty of your homeland. Just love, love your channel. It is my favourite! I can’t wait until your next adventure. Safe travels! 👍🏻🇦🇺🐨🦘❤️

  7. Hi jarl. What a brilliant vidio you're campsite that you were in was very open & then you had to move away to get shelter. It must be scary in you're campervan, when the storm comes in Jarl. I live in the UK. The weather has been very warm in July & into August it was a mixed bag of weather. The local newspapers had said that is another heatwave coming in. The weather is crazy worldwide. You just keep you're fingers crossed that over the winters month aren't going to get any worse..Catch up on you're next adventures Jarl.🙏
