Blizzard Winter Camping in a Snow Storm - Extreme Solo Tent Camp Surviving Heavy Snowfall Freezing
Winter camping & backpacking in a snowstorm, blizzard - heavy snowfall extreme weather forest tent camping in the north, no fire, cold tent, high winds, survival. 25 m/s, 56 mph, 90 km/h.
Cold tent winter camping during a snow storm in the northern wilderness. The forecast said 25m/s or 56mph winds. I choose snow shoes again since it makes filming easier than if I was using skis.
I walked out into the forest in a break in the storm and set up camp, getting ready for the heavy snowstorm that was coming in through the night. It turned into a massive storm but I had found a sheltered place for my camp in the trees. I also built a snow wall to shelter behind for the eastern winds. Quite an interesting trip that ended in a mixture between rain and sleet. Extended version coming soon.
Gear list for this trip is towards the end of the video.
About me: I am a Norwegian adventurer and wilderness explorer. My youtube channel focus on 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. I love the Wilderness! Email is under "For business inquiries", for general questions please comment on a video, I try to answer everyone.

This was great! I’m 63 and I still love winter camping in the snow. No hot tent, no Little Buddy heater. Just my 2 man tent, my -45 degree sleeping bag, my jet boil, with grub & coffee!

@@Monika-uv2qp it is an old USAF surplus bag, it weighs a ton. So I only use it static camping, not backpacking. ThermaRest LuxuryMap pad to go under my bag, and a ThermaRest Zlite to go on the ground.I have a Jetboil flash cooking system. Alps Mountaineering Tasmanian 2 person 4 season tent. Alps Red Tail backpack. I’m looking into getting a ThermaRest Polar Ranger bag, it is only a -20f bag, but I will get some kind of a down filled poncho that doubles as a bag for a liner.
Enjoyed watching this at 8.30pm in my armchair drinking a large whisky in the warm. Lovely.

It looks sooo cold even inside the tent. Amazing how something made of fabric can shelter a person in bad weather. That's a pretty sturdy well made tent. I'd like to see someone build an igloo to ride out a blizzard in. This was a good one. Thanks for posting it.

This man walks trough deep snow like he is walking on a beach. Effortlessly. And keep in mind when you film by yourself the trip is twice as long and sometimes three times as long. Walk ahead and place the camera. Walk back and then go forward towards the camera. Then go back and retrieve the camera and do it again and again and again. Brilliant filming. Just amazing.

We road out a storm at my cabin in Michigan a few weeks back. Power went out so pellet stove went down. Luckily enough we still had the old wood stove in the basement that was the original. My cousins live in the area and brought over enough wood to last the night. We enjoyed some kettle stew and some hottie totties and listened to it howl outside in freezing cold weather.

In weather like this there is no such thing as an EXPENSIVE Hilleberg tent, especially when it's providing reliable 5-Star Shelter during a strong gusty rain/snow /wind storm. It quite remarkeable that anyone can manufacturer a shelter that withstands the kind of weather you not only endured, but filmed for us to enjoy. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada - we got 4" of snow the past 2-days/nights.

Not for the faint of heart. Some serious camping there. When the pit is knee deep and you haven't hit earth that's some deep snow. The Nallo is holding up well. Stake my life on a Hilleberg. Put the snow sound in some of your music. You know Jarl it's easy getting out there before the storm hits. But it's a whole other story trying to make it back in. Call the dogs and hunker down. Happy New Year. Be safe.

Lots of us guys have tested ourselves camping here in Alabama. We use to go when the weather was down in the teens, I believe it reached 9° once at my lowest experience here in central Alabama. The only blizzard I saw was while in HS in the blizzard of 93, again here in central Alabama. I wouldn’t have wanted any part of that one! Man, you had 56 mph winds??? Wow!!! Congrats for braving it and making it through safely. I’d be thinking tree limbs, tent ripping, too many possibilities that could turn dangerous really fast. So hats off on that trip. 👍🏼
