Dangers Of Vanlife In The EXTREME Cold

We've made it to Finland! The home of the big man himself! We face the coldest temperatures yet on our trip and it really hits home how important it is to be adequately prepared for the extremes of this astoundingly beautiful place. Our journey leads us to a magical day at Santa's Village, and some malfunctioning equipment due to the cold (including Jess), our first experience of -32, a very snowy hike through the scenic Finnish countryside and Jon indulges in some tool and machinery appreciation! Thanks for joining us on this next part of our adventure.

Your authenticity is so refreshing to watch. I am sure both of you put a lot of time and effort into your productions but the results are worth every second of that time spent. They are truly World class!. Well done!. And thanks as ever for sharing your amazing experiences with us all. Your 50 000 followers should give you an idea of the joy you bring to so many people around the world in these troubled times. Thanks again! PERRY.

    Honestly, I cannot wait for Saturdays to come along to get my fix. And even hubby is now watching with me. We were discussing what makes your videos so special. And I've come to the conclusion that you guys have just exactly the right balance. The right amount of beautiful scenery, honest dialogue, dirty humour, nerdiness and information. Not to mention the craziness! It's the perfect mix and balance. The ending this week was priceless!!! I was killing myself laughing!!!If I had to find something to criticise, it would be that I'd love your videos to be longer. Could watch your videos for hours tbh, but 1/2 hour ones would be awesome, but will happily watch your 20minute videos instead. Keep em coming, but only as long as you're enjoying making them. Long may it last.

    The grip test is something I do too. Fun fact, winter tyres are called 'studless tyres' (or the Japanese version of the word which is sutadoresu) here as stud tyres became illegal from the winter of 1990-1991. I arrived in 1991 and I had tyres with all of the studs removed. Finland is absolutely beautiful. Many areas of Japan get heavy snowfall like this and the trees with all of the snow on them are just like what you saw. It is breathtaking, no matter how many times you see it. Some parts of Hokkaido are the only places in Japan where the temperature can drop to -40C and Japan is further south than the British Isles. Loved the last scene - John, you are a nutter. A brave nutter though and a good sport!!

Love your content! and hope you're really having the blast that you appear to be having. All the best to you both, and please stay safe! ❤
