Surviving 48 Hours Alone in My Darkest SNOW STORM — Arctic Winter Life Camping in a Van

THIS is why I live alone in the Arctic winter in a Van. Arctic Winter Life: Blizzard & Snow Storm: This was the darkest snow storm I experienced, while surviving & camping in the extreme dark of the Polar Night with heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures deep in arctic Finland. I am planning a route around Finland and back to the northern arctic part of Norway, but I fall in love with Finland, so I spend more time and get trapped in a massive snow storm in a most spectacular winter wonderland. I find new ways to get my propane heater charged with fuel in Finland, I test the starlink heating function in extreme snow weather, I cook in a snow storm with spectacular winter scenery outside, and I take you arctic shopping in Finnish stores. Cooking is going to be pasta with spaghetti sauce, and I claim the Viking invented pasta lol! My life feels incredible when conditions get really harsh and cold, and I explain why I live the entire winter in the arctic in a van. This is life, freedom, off-grid with no real worries, other than hoping I am not stranded forever in the deep snow!
I hear you are getting some serious blizzards, snow storms and extreme temperatures in the USA and Canada, stay safe and warm my friends! Storm Gianna?

Previously I have started my journey through blizzard, snow storm and extreme weather in arctic Norway, Sweden and Finland. I have explained why 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 revealed this and many other things as I braved 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 took you into the ground, through the deep tunnels where trolls are awakened, I took you grocery shopping for supplies, I know you want to see the inside of arctic stores, and I make coffee of course, and it is very cold! This is now episode 11 of my Life in the arctic journey. Real cold, real storms and polar night!

Keep in mind my videos are all real, very real!

Are you a female traveler: 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—Arctic 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 US American, UK, Canadian & German friends who are building vehicles like that.
