Overlanding Norway | Land of the Giants | X Overland Nordic Series EP2
Clay, Rachelle, Cyrus, and Kurt meet up with Pete Jr., Dan, and Caroline van Stralen of @Epicfamilyroadtrip to officially begin their overlanding odyssey through Scandinavia!
The team is just getting started by exploring the mythic “Land of the Giants” while pushing hard to reach the highest point in Northern Europe on top of Mt. Galdhøpiggen.
Viking-built churches dating back a millennium, ancient boreal forests along the secluded Trans Euro Trail, and an epic descent of Norway’s famous Troll’s Road are all a part of this adventure.
As Clay says, “Norway is one for the books.” Come along and find out why.

By the far the BEST thing to watch on KZread!!😍😍😍
Someone always sneaking around in the night 😂. Blows me away someone always shows up in the middle of nowhere in the dark
I love that Trollstigen was like an afterthought. People literally drive to Norway just to experience that road :D
Campsites (in average weather), break downs and getting getting stuck have been when I've met the best people while overlanding.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. You guys just keep getting better with every video.

Thank you!
That stave church is truly remarkable....
Sometimes I watch this and I forget that I’m watching KZread…this should be on Nat Geo! Great job guys and gals!
"It sure is fun to watch someone else live their life to the fullest." We're watching you, Clay!
This is Netflix quality film production and editing. Well done and awesome vehicles
Man, I look like a baby right now. I feel like I am there with you. What a dream, and how lucky you are. Great episode.
Super wyprawa🏞️🚙🗺️ 💪👍👊. Pozdrawiam całą ekipę ✌️.
"We'll see her in Iceland, which is very cool". Almost a British mastery with the play on words. Even if it was unintentional. Great work gang. I've helped out colleagues who are logistics people for overseas trips and the amount of work. I doff my cap to you.
great great GREAT EPISODE thank you !!!! I am speechless
I live in Northern BC and we have some amazing roads & trails (and some sketchy grades) for sure. But that Troll Road & church had me watching in awe! Thanks for the ride along! 🥾🏔🇨🇦❤️
Enjoyed your visit to the church! Glad to have discovered Expedition Overland!
That Trolll Rd. view at the end made me tear up a bit. It's scenery like that that further solidifies my belief in God. Amazing drone work. The rigs look so good. I need one of those XO slaps.
Too lovely Great work 💯👏 What a road.... A dream drive for any road lover
It boggles my mind how difficult the logistics and on top of that recording all! The cinematography is second to none!
I think it is cool when I get other American's perspectives on visiting other countries. I've been overseas half my career and I've gotten to experience other cultures and see the vast history that is Europe. It is something all should have a chance to see.
6:40 getting on the highway and there’s a trans am on a trailer 😂 love the content y’all put together 🤟🤟

That Church was absolutely amazing 👍👍
I played a piano at Nordkapp, was a unique box to check off for me. I am working my way through this series and reliving my memories of being in Norway for one month with a car and a backpack. I am so glad I get to see other people experience what I felt!
It's so cool to recognize the beautiful little town "Lom" at 35:55min where i had my first elk burger. Jotunheim was spectacular!!! It was on my overlanding trip through Sweden/Norway last year in June/July with my (surprise) Toyota Hilux truck equipped also with a Alu Cab hardtop and a maggiolina rooftop tent. Keep on doing your expeditions! Always a pleasure to watch. :) Greetings from germany!!!
Love the series yall!!!!! Can’t wait for next ep!
The best series i have seen in a long time. Keep it up! I love you! Best regards from Germany.
I am loving this series! Norway has been on my list for a long time.
The quality of your content puts most TV shows to shame. Love you guys!
Love your stuff man. I am a High School World Geography & History Teacher in the Houston, Texas area and your adventure videos are great info.
Thanks for showing how beautiful our planet is. Stunning.
Spectacular! What amazing cinematography and storytelling. Keep living your dream ... I need it!😊
Those grass roofs were crazy
Epic views, history, and insight of the nordic alpines so far🍺. No place to be overlanding under prepared. I don’t pretend to know these folks other than through youtube both this channel and “epic family road trip” but im sure they had the time of their lives. With that comes a tremendous responsibility for the team leaders to keep the crew (especially jr crew) safe and on track, so i can appreciate the bit of discipline and organization that comes across in taking on a trip of this magnitude 🍻🍀
Not sure if it was said already but those ‘sideways fences’ are living fences. They cut the base of the sapling about 80-90% and bend it down/ intertwine it to the nearby ones. Plant can still survive with only that 10% still attached sl It doesn’t die and dry/fall apart. Good for small livestock so they can’t get through and doesn’t hurt anything! And all natural
Excellent videos so far. When we saw the church we both said “we have to go!” We already started planning. 😎👍
As always, beautiful, exciting and informative content. Can't wait to see the next episode. Stay awesome team XO!
Great video as always ! that Troll Road was insane ! and how awesome was that Church.... it's crazy how much older and more history Europe has.... loved the history stuff as well. Cheers !
Sooooo good! It just keeps getting better!
What’s so amazing is that I listened to this while driving. Phone was in my passenger seat. Even just the audio is simply amazing. It alone paints a picture that pulls you in. Amazing job. Now to get off work and watch it
Loving this series! Thank you so much for all you did to make it possible for us to come along. Epic! Mark (& Teresa) Hampstead Maryland Ford Ranger - GFC Camper V2 #1919
Geeze feeling sick in a different country and then smacking his chin. He's a trooper!
Your cinematography is so good...
Very nice capture of some of Norway.
Breathing, stunning, mind-blowing, fantastic I could not wait and had to watch this on my home theater large screen it was worth the watch. Wishing u guys all the best and safe journey. 🌍🌎🌏

The Troll Rd was amazing! We are going to Alaska in 2024, then, maybe Norway and beyond. My husband may not let me keep watching you guys-you inspire me too much!
All i can say is "Outstanding!" Clay, how high can you raise the bar? You r a very talented guy who is producing magnificent content for us all. Thank you and your team for such perfection! 👍
I love that you traveled thousands of miles to get to a completely different world out in Scandinavia, all to end up driving behind an American classic trans am getting trailered on the highway at 7:53.

Thank you guys for doing the best representation of Norway on youtube, ever! This was awesome to watch from start to end…👏👏 To bad you didnt get to see the southern mountains of Telemark.. Maybe next time??
Absolutely spectacular! Wow😮. 😶
What an amazing journey. Thanks for taking us along. Such amazing views and I'm sure the journey is epic!!! 🤩😱
Wow. Thanks for giving me more to dream of!!!
I would really love if you guys did a cost breakdown like after the season of one of your trips for people who would also want to tackle the same. As always amazing videos
Awesome video as always XO Crew. The Troll Rd is stunning and breath takingly beautiful. Truly you can see God's handed work in far as the eye can see.
What a great trip, with a great crew. Awesome job on film production. Can't wait to see more of the journey!

Epic journey!
I've been blessed enough to do both road trips and overland adventures across Australia, the Middle East, and even Colorado and Utah on the Rimrocker just last year. But Scandinavia looks like a whole new ballgame! and this series is definitely bringing my childhood memories of one ski holiday in Switzerland to the fore, with those stunning mountain views and snowy peaks. Can't wait for Ep 3!
This was spectacular to watch! Really enjoyed the part with the church. Congrats on the series, keep it up! 👌
That's XO at their best. Again. Finally Again. Just spent 2 months in Finland and am very glad to see you travelling Scandinavia. Love the show. Wolfgang, Vienna, Austria

Whatever you do, make sure you rent a car and explore yourself. The tours just dont do this gem of a country justice

You guys rock! Loving this series, iv been in Norway for 14 years now and I’m trying to show of the landscapes and wildlife through my channel… but I see I still have a lot to discover, thanks to you guys 😊 I’m looking forward to the next part!
Us overlanders all have the same issues. You need the big stuff to start a trip but the small stuff to make it work. Your production is the next level in overland visuals and story telling. Fantastic!!
I was in Norway and Sweden in 2018 on road trip. It was amazing. But I am sad, that Slovakia, was not on map of EU overland travel. Anyway, you are the best, showing not only story, places but skill. Thank you for your production, absolut best from Slovakia!
Inspiration overload! This series is certainly a game changer... Congratulations to the team on reaching this phenomenal milestone in overlanding🤝🏼

This is so epic! You and your team of explorers have hit it out of the park with this series. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Simply amazing. I don't think you guys realize how many people out there, including myself, could be doing what you guys are doing. Im so jealous. Great job on the content, your killing it! Keep it coming. Stay safe out there.
Glad to do good work for us to see. Thank you all X Overland team. Good luck to you guys. And hope someday you guys will come to my country sometime. Have a safe trip from Big Fan Thailand
This gets me excited for a motorcycle trip my dad, brother and I are doing this spring through the fjords and western Norway! Hitting both the Trollstigen (troll road) and galdhopiggen as well so exciting to see the experience through XO's eyes! Hope to see you guys around Bozeman when we get back!
This is amazing. Being from Norway I see many familiar places, and even more places I wanna travel in the future. Thank you for taking the trip, and being an inspiration!
this is incredible
This is an inspiration...
Been on three roadtrips all across Norway, 16 000kms in total. What really surprised me - after a week of driving you feel like you've seen it all, and after the next turn or tunnel there is another "WOW this is amazing" moment.. Plan on returning there many times!

Fantastic photography, dialogue, places visited.
Relics of the past worth seeing. Truer words couldn’tve been more truer..!! As you’re pulling onto the highway, van with a trailer and a late 70’s early 80’s Pontiac Trans Am. Not pretty as nature but still American Iron!!!
Majestic Land love to explore Norway

Pontiac Trans Am at 7:46. So cool, so unexpected. Great video and awesome journey!
Wow just discovered you where in Europe and in the Netherlands where i live. Love to see you’re video’s and adventures.
i am commenting before watching, just happy to see you traveling through the best country ever. I moved to norway just because of its looks and stayed for the culture
Here for the Aerosmith 😂
It's funny that the movie Troll is coming out soon ha ha ha. Great episode! Looking forward to the next...
This is probably the most amazing road i’ve seen! I’m jealous! And I hope someday, I can drive on the Troll Road and see it in my own eyes! You guys are the best! Another 40 minutes well spent for me watching this episode!

I shipped my overland built F150 from Toronto to Hamburg 2 years ago. It was such an easy process - 2 weeks total and about $2000. Was in customs for about half an hour and then she was free. Been exploring Europe and the Balkans ever since. I had to make an adapter for my stove and BBQ to work with European propane tanks. Only issue I still have is that I now have 2 regulators and the propane doesn't flow as well as it should. I highly recommend an expedition to the Balkans if you get a chance. Much more open and free than the EU. There are no camping laws, so if it fits it sits, and the scenery is amazing. If you have any questions regarding the region I'd be happy to help.
That was fantastic coverage!!! I cannot wait to see the rest of your Nordic series!
feels like i'm travelling with u guys keep safe
Incredible views. Very inspiring stuff as always.
mind blowing , scenic and spectacular ... enjoyed and excited to watch the complete series
This trip looks so fantastic! The movie looks just sick, all that good camera work, editing and putting it all together is perfect! I love being norwegian watching this episode, and the cars just looks frikkin awesome.. Did police pull you over while you were driving through the country due to modifications done to the cars?
I highly recommend you to visit Romania. Transfagarasan and Transalpina are amazing. Brasov and Bran, Sibiu where Romaniac goes. These places are just great. And when the war will be over come visit Ukraine. Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains are astonishing, Sinevir lake is beautiful too. Love you, and the stuff you doing. You’ve inspired me to start traveling and once this war is over I’m going to buy Hilux, prep it and go all over Europe. All the best!
