ik denk dat je btr een camper kan kopen..... pfffffff
I also have a VW Up, so I might take a few ideas! 😅It´s truly a great car! Subscribed! : )
Waneer komt de nieuwe video erg mooie reis ben benieuwd man👍👍
Zie laatste communitypost hier op m'n kanaal.
I describe with one word, Amazing!
Great series. When is the next episode online?
Aiming for end of june. Around 75% finished now.
I really enjoyed watching this. What an adventure, camp on!
This video popped up randomly! I enjoyed it very much. I liked the part where you had to milk the milk container!!! I’m in Calgary, Alberta Canada and we had a few weeks this winter where it was -40 with the windchill. 🥶 I know how cold you must have been!
It's hard to explain to people how -40 feels, but it was amazing to experience it! 😅
Big thumbs up from this Swede, even with some low points it looks like one hell of a trip!
More coming soon! 🚀
For anyone wondering, yes, those EV charging stations do work at -36C! //Swede
Your channel popped on my feed and I am glad it did! GREAT content!!! Keep it going!
`Fcking leuk maat, Up was mijn 1e leaseauto :D Groeten uit Tilburg
got them blind every other driver on the road headlights. eurgh.
No it's not. They cost about €150 and are officially certified for public road use, with a certificate to prove this. They emit more light, but are at exactly the same height as the original ones. This is not Aliexpress stuff.
WoW indrukwekkend wil meer zien van je avontuur. Een les van waar je allemaal rekening moet houden.
Als ik de vlogs van de reis af heb zal ik dat maken ✌🏻
Ik krijg het koud alleen al naar het kijken. Gast ga niet vragen waarom je dit doet? Vind het uiterste interessant en vooral leerzaam.
WoW! Ik ben echt onder de indruk! Ik had niet verwacht dat ik dit zo leuk zou vinden. 😁 Ik ben zelf dol op auto's, en vind ook leuk om mooie reizen te maken. Ik heb zelf een Peugeot 108 (mijn eerste auto), wat vergelijkbaar is met de mooie Volkswagen Up. Ik ga bijvoorbeeld nog naar Engeland met mijn auto, maar is echt niet vergeleken met dit. Zulke temperaturen, in je eentje, en slapen in de auto. Maar wel een prachtig avontuur. Ik ga het zeker blijven volgen! 👍
24:30 As Finnish guy, the cable is not for charging batteries, its for engine block heater and cabin electric heater. I can tell you as tow truck driver as well, that the cold (-20 or more) weather starts to get even on our cars. The cold days are always busy in my work. Batteries dead, too cold fuel to srart or car is simply not build for the cold. Usually switching the battery fixes the problems, but sometimes the car won't start until we tow it to garage to warm up, and as for fuel, diesel users need to keep eyes out for not using "summer diesel", which can stand like -10 to 20C before strting to "freeze", while winter one can stand somewhere around -40 to 50C, depending where you get it. Also a tip (which you seemed to do at one point) is to drive without shoes if your feet gets cold, as the shoes work as insulators as well, not letting heat get in. Tbh I have never drove a car that doesn't enough heating to feet (if you take shoes off), i can even dry them up pretty fast putting them to passenger side floor so the air dries them up. I know that Wv UP has pretty bad insulation on the sides, so maybe it just escapes too fast on that car. I don't personally recommend using add-on LED bulbs on halogen slots, as the light does not reflect the same way with LED and can start to blinden oncoming traffic (not on all cars of course), especially on dark. What I do recommend instead is getting something like lightbars, which are only for high beams. They are fairly cheap and fairly easy to install too and don't blind oncoming traffic if adjusted and used correctly. I haven't gone to camping in winter yet, but I stil know that those weathers are harsh even on heated tent to sleep trough without experience (sometimes even with experience too), so it's not surprising you are having "hard time". I know this trip is over, but just keep in mind that atleast in Finland we help if it's needed, even if we seem to be "distant" at first. Knock on door and we give what we can. I myself plan to go to north in week or two, to the same type of trip: Go north, see stuff, avoid hotels and most restaurants and cook your own food. Even if its not winter, I might have hard time as I've never gone to real camping trip before. But the stuff you and others put on youtube keeps me educated and motivated to do it even more, don't stop adventuring!
I've had skoda's version of this car - citigo - for 40k km. Now clocked at 127k km. I'm well above surprised at how reliable this car has been. And now seeing it go so up north just adds to my bias. You had some guts trying this out. Waiting for the next episode
when will the next video come?
Expect end of June. It's a long one. Press the bell for notifications on a new upload.
Looking forward to see more videos of your trip!
Working on it! Press the bell icon to get notified ✌🏻
@@ZoefontheMove please hurry up dude everynight i found myself in your channel :D
@@fatihynr_7814 I'm trimming 15 hours of video down to something that's suitable for KZread. Currently down to ~2 hours, but more cutting is needed. Aiming for around an hour for the next video.
@@fatihynr_7814 Starting to get there. It's in the details now :).
Geloof dat de uitlaat naar beneden moet wijzen om het Condenswater af te voeren. Ergens zit een gaatje aan de zijkant van de uitlaat. Have fun
Thnx, niet eens op gelet! 😑😂
i have a question why use diesel hearter and not idling all night with the the car's heater instead
Because it's really bad for the engine, and also really expensive in fuel cost.
Love your series, really cool adventure and very nice story telling and production!
Excuse my surely stupid question, but why the power bank for the Diesel heater? To start it, or does it need permanent electricity for its pump?
Because it needs to start up the combustion. That takes a lot of energy. After it's running properly, the power draw drops and is only for the fuel pump and the fan.
BTW, did you know it's illegal to keep your car idling for over 2 minutes in Finland, 4 minutes when it's colder than -15°C? And you kept it running all night...
Haha what?! I have never heard about that before! 🤯
@@ZoefontheMove Just checked, same thing in Germany, Poland and Sweden at least. It's a pollution thing. Been forbidden here since 1991, it's in 55 § of the the traffic act, which is conveniently available in finnish and swedish, but here's an unofficial google translated version: Prohibition of unnecessary idling of a motor vehicle The engine of a combustion engine-powered vehicle may not be kept running for longer than two minutes if the vehicle is stopped for a reason other than a mandatory traffic barrier. However, you may keep the engine running for a maximum of four minutes before driving if it is colder than (minus) 15 degrees Celsius. In addition, the engine may be kept running before setting off or starting work on the vehicle or machine for the time necessary to get the vehicle or machine ready for operation. (17.12.2020/1040)
@@oh2mok "Prohibition of unnecessary idling of a motor vehicle" But this was necessary :P
24:30: They don't charge the car, the heat the engine. I have that in my Volvo V90 Cross Country and it helped a lot during this winter with -37°C in Finland.
Can’t wait for the next episode man ! Keep up the great work. Very entertaining!
Zo gek als een deur dat je dit doet. Maar wel echt een heel gaf avontuur! Ook goed ge-edit. Lekker om naar te kijken. Ik hou ervan!
LEKKER BEZIG :d
Have an amazing and blessed adventure 💯❤️🙏
Leuk filmpje Zoef!
Very good videos. Your editing is also very very good. Maybe you could consider to add some scenery from a drone. Even tho I don't think they would work in these temperatures. But I really appreciate your classy videos, please don't follow the algorithm pressure and start with click bait thumbnails or so. Your unagitated and real personality is it, what makes this gold
Hola! Thank you so much for your kind words! ✨️ The idea was to first earn the money back from the initial investment in the project. After that I'm going to invest everything I earn back into the channel for creating better videos. Drones, better camera's and even wilder trips 😂
In een up. Fucking strijder. Ik zelf wil ook zoiets doen maar dan met een daktent en warme landen 😂
Haha! Houdt het interessant toch? Die daktent is wel een dingetje, want ik zat exact aan de maximale massa deze rit. En de daktent is ook nog eens 40kg. Had er ook naar gekeken.
A couple of things. The cars are to electricity not to charge the battery but to keep the engine block warm. Could you not have vented the diesel heater exhaust easier than making the warm air intake for the window? Was noise the issue?
Excellent footage and editing skills, shame you didn’t buy an Up! with heated seats. You make the UK feel like a warm place, thank you for the entertainment
