Arctic in Winter: What is Life Really Like Alone... in a Van? SNOW STORM Extreme Camping & Surviving

EPISODE 2 - 2026 Arctic Van Life Winter Tour. Alone in Snow Storm through the mountains and Into the Polar Night. Part 2 of my journey to the Arctic facing extreme temperatures and freezing cold in the first days as I journey towards blizzard, snow storm and extreme weather in arctic Norway, Sweden and Finland. Why do I choose to spend my winters camping in a tiny cabin on wheel, my vanlife van, in the harshest climates known to the world? I reveal this and many other things as I brave the elements on my snowy drive towards the edge of the frozen worlds. Check out the new exterior lights on my van, it makes a world of a difference. I take you into the ground, through the deep tunnels where trolls are awakened, I make coffee of course, as well as my first time making fajitas in the van. I film my first snow storm from inside the van using my new exterior lights, and it is very cold! This is how I survive the next 48 hours of the arctic journey. What life traveling to the arctic is really like, a lonely solitary journey into the freezing cold landscapes.

EPISODE 1 - Why I Live Alone in The Arctic in Winter... in a Van? Surviving Extreme Cold & Snow Storm Camping    • Why I Live Alone in The Arctic in Winter.....  

Polar nights are approaching as I head further north, but the cold is already real. Keep in mind my videos are all real, very real, there are no "I survived -71°c blizzard camping in a hot tent" or even worse "I survived -80°c on a bike in a snow storm". That stuff is not real, but this IS real, this is my life, my experience, so please dont get fooled by all the recent fake -71°c, -80°c,-65°c videos on Youtube!

For female travelers: If you’re wondering—yes, it’s a safe place to camp solo for female van travelers. Out here, no one bothers you. The people are kind, and the solitude is next level, even in the middle of town.

Grab a blanket, hit play, and ride out this Arctic storm with me—van life in the harshest winters, off-grid survival style.

Sometimes I wonder if a Truck Camper would be cool so I could get up some of these cool roads to the outlook and arctic towers, let me know about that my American, UK, Canadian & German friends who are building vehicles like that.
