Wow! That was some storm. I’ll never complain again when I get caught in a rain storm in the Sierra. I was worried for you. Your videos are nothing short of amazing. Thanks for taking us with you.

To whoever is reading this, I hope you heal from the things you don’t speak about. I hope you find peace within your day. If all you did was get out of bed today, have a glass of water, or even just did whatever you could, just know that’s the best you could do at that moment and that’s okay. Everyone sleep well and I hope the waves of relaxation wash over you. Sending love and healing and light to all of you.

This is by far the best rainstorm camping video i have ever watched. Thank you for the content. Sorry about your situation but if it was me i would've been sleeping like a baby 24/7

The landscape was hauntingly beautiful! Wow! What an intense and scary storm! Thankfully you had a strong tent...despite its leakiness. The video was very simple and minimal, but captured the power of the storm very well.

I once was biking and caught by surprise as a hail thunder storm approached much faster than expected. I luckily found a shed, but it was covered with metal sheets which is not safe during lightning strikes. Also there was a big trailer from one of the farmers, also a huge metal construction. Facing in my direction there was on open barn with horses. As the hail began and the lightning got closer I moved as far away from the metal around me as I could (maybe 2 meters). The hail was very noisy due to the metal roof. If the lightning would hit me I could not have done anything against it. Therefore and because I had no other choice I tried to enjoy natures show and got myself into a fatalism mood. What shall I say, it worked. I remained relaxed and it was a very amazing experience. The horses opposite to me in their open barn got a little bit exited but still calm. They got pretty wet. On my way home I saw lots of fallen down branches, some of them quite heavy. If I had driven home through the thunderstorm it would have been much more dangerous. Once the lightning appears I count the seconds until the thunder hits. Every 3 seconds makes a distance of around 1 km or 0,8 miles. Nice video. Once you found another tent which keeps you dry please let us know. Although I could imagine that even the most waterproof tent has it's limitations when it comes to such an event. Your channel is worth a subscription. Done.

I know this was hard to endure, but thank you for sharing this stunning experience. I will be 70 this time next year, retired Vietnam veteran. I would have loved to do this. I live in Oklahoma, tornado alley. We don't have the luxury of enjoying storms such as this, they can become tornadoes. This is the first of your vids I have had the pleasure to enjoy. Stay strong 💪 👊 😊

That was a storm of storms! Personally, I was very impressed with how well the Hilleberg withstood the elements. Those winds were no joke and the tent remained steadfast against it; the rain was intense also and you were being pelted for many hours before the leak began - looked like from the end of the zipper in the vestibule. Any other moisture appeared to be condensation. Not many tents would have held up. I almost purchased one while watching 😎. In the beginning I was concerned about the river rising, but later it appears you had sufficient distance from high water. Then I was concerned about your decision to pack up rather than wait it out - but you made the right call. Glad you made it out and shared your survival adventure....I've watched your wild winter videos, rain camping and sunny warm...great mix! Take good care Jarl. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Glad you’re safe from that scary lightning. Love the way you film your adventures. Thanks for sharing!

I'm so afraid of thunderstorms in the mountains, respect to you.

💚❤️ Honestly couldn’t be more perfect 🙌🏻🌬💨🌩⛈🌧

That was such an amazing storm. I WISH I could experience that like you do. Extremely beautiful environment too :)

Yes, I’d love to camp with you. I’m pretty well prepared for Atlantic Canada, but those storms look worse then I’ve encountered. Great job !

Holy cow! I was scared. Thor throwing around thunderbolts, relentless rain gods! And it started out so peaceful with the reindeer and vast treeless expanses! Great video. Glad the tent held up.

That’s a lot of walking. And the sceneries are awesome. The area looks so pristine and so quiet . Thanks for sharing!

The way you just calmly sat there, listening to the storm and watching the lightening pop around you...unbelievable! Apparently I am a coward; I was terrified for you! Thank you for sharing this magnificent experience with us! Respect.

Great camp, tough conditions but enjoyable from my living room. Thanks and stay safe at all times

rainy camping is always my favorite especially with thunder, feels like not alone

Greetings from Australia, absolutely stunning and that was one nice storm you had to endure 😣

You stayed so calm. I would have been really scared. One heck of a storm. What else can I say. Awesome video ~~ felt like I was in the tent. That’s how real this was

Every single frame in this blog is amazing.I was mesmerised and feeling myself out of this world. You have ability to capture the nature at the best. Whenever I am watching your new travel blog I feel some natural freshness. Thanks for keeping us with you all the time. You have ability to capture the nature’s beauty Keep it up Man👏👏👏👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I tend to stay up pretty late at night, into the morning. A couple years ago when Oregon was besieged by horrible fires that took out swaths of rainforests (which absolutely gutted me), a weird freak storm rolled in at about 2 am. The lightning was like a strobe light, thunder raging, and the trees in the backyard were bent so far over from the wind I thought they would snap right off. It was the only time a storm really scared me. It doused the forest fires, which I was so grateful for. But I benefited from being inside a warm house, not a tent. So I can just imagine how scary this must have been for you. And then the added disappointment of the leaky tent. There's nothing worse than being damp and miserable. I'm glad you decided to go back to the car. Mother Nature can be a fickle beast. :)♥

Really great adventure, the sound of rain and wind was amazing. Every tourist like me after you knows this feeling and it brings back many memories.

Up there as one of the best storms on KZfaq camping. Great job

So even an Hillaberg got it's limitations. this was a epic storm.

One thing I like about this video is that it illustrates the complete uselessness of the various kinds of lean-to shelters, cosy bonfires, light tarps etc in places like arctic Norway. You’re just in it. Half the time there is no “prevailing wind direction”, the rain comes in sideways changing with the wind. Any weakness in the structure or setup will be exploited by the wind and rain and once it gets a foothold it only gets worse from there, and the shit somehow always seems to hit the fan somewhere between 3-4 in the morning (probably because it’s the coldest then). If you do not set your tent right the noise rising and falling with long violent and unpredictable gusts will gradually drive you bonkers and anything rubbing against anything will eventually eat through fabric, line or whatever else and one thing you DON’T want on open tundra or a naked mountain in a rain storm is a big old tear or your whole rig flapping around in the wind or disappearing into the night or your dry gear base to be compromised. I knocked tarps a bit but I’ve sat through a fair few arctic storms in those just because I couldn’t afford a good lightweight domed tent. It’s possible but not exactly comfortable. Draw it out over a full week of it and you begin to feel rather battered and harassed from wear.

Hey there NE from Massachusetts! I’ve gotta say that trip was one of a lifetime for sure! Having done trailwork as a summer job during college, I learned to use a four season tent for living in. It was in New Mexico where they get monsoon storms in the afternoon so you want to be feeling safe after a hard days trailwork. That tent, like the Hilleberg, wasn’t cheap but I was young and living in the barracks at the time so i could afford it. Knowing what I know about the Hilleberg, that tent shouldn’t have leaked either, at all. Seems like they would have that kind of leak engineered out of the system by now. I really like the primus stove a lot. Looks like a really functional little cooker. I would echo some of the sentiments in the comments in that it didn’t collapse and I always think about how it would be if i was sitting out there in no tent how much worse that would be. You showed amazing patience and calm during the whole ordeal! Thank you for showing us that beautiful part of the planet. Take care. NQU

Wow what a storm ! This is by far one of best and most instance I have ever watched, thank you for sharing & am glad you where safe, as it was pretty scary!

The asmr factor in this video is through the roof and very much appreciated!! Thank you for such a beautiful view and video!!

I read all the comments B4 composing the following. Thank you for taking your time, effort, & equipment to share your adventure with MEeee. I noticed several large rocks that appear to have been placed atop tent pegs at the end of guyout lines. Those heavy rocks likely HELPED keep the tent pegs in the ground & your tent from being blown down. No torn fabric, no broken guylines, no broken poles, no zipper snags, they stayed zipped. I'm assuming your Soulo is the RED label, not the BLACK label Soulo. That HOT meal provided nourishment & comfort, thank goodness for having the equipment needed to boil water needed for coffee & the freeze dried meal while inside your shelter. No sleep & being hunkered down for 15 hours is definitely an ordeal. Please let us know WHAT you do to fix the leak & WHAT/HOW you test your repair to see if it's fixed. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

Norwegian Explorer my friend, 17 words.......Oh my goodness, just so stunning, intense & amazing, from start to finish!! Tusen takk for sharing.🙏

Wow, that was incredible!!!! I just subscribed to your channel. I will be looking for more of your adventures.

Awww. I'm sorry your tent was leaking. I was hoping for you to be tucked in nice and cozy in your sleeping bag while we all watched over you and the storm. Please consider a Bivi bag for your camping. It keeps you nice and warm and is completely waterproof. There is a woman in Scotland who camps solo outside and just zips herself in the Bivi bag. No tent nothing.

This is amazing, nothing better than mother nature showing its powers 🙂

The only thing that worried me was the lightning!!! In open space like that, Im so glad it didnt get you! All the rest was awesome. The landscape is certainly shaped by the weather and ice. I bet you wished you were in your van 😊

I was nervous for you in this one! Loved the beauty of the site tht became your storm camp. I could hear my dad teaching us -"never camp right by running water-the streambed can fill with water, rocks or debris within seconds. Better to walk a few steps to water than die in your sleep". He was raised in Colorado and had seen neighbors lose their house like that. And it looked like those mountains had had had massive rockslides in the past. Isn't it funny how what is "safe" changes according to our teaching as kids? I remember returning to the homestead from Denver one day on a very flat Interstate, and suddenly dad was trying to dodge telephone poles floating across the road. One minute it was dry Interstate and seconds later we were dodging debris in an instant river.

The furthest North.....y gracias a Dios nos lo cuentas, Jarl. Una experiencia relatada de primera mano nos pone próximos a lo brutal que también habita el Ártico. Un abrazo!!🙋🏻‍♂️🍀👍

A wild adventure, nature can certainly offer up some intense challenges. You have the knowledge, experience and gear to survive tough conditions, glad you made it back safely.

I was nervous watching your video and I was sitting on my couch with my blanket. That was a little too intense but you filmed it well considering the crazy weather. This is the first I’ve watched you nut won’t be the last. Thank you for doing the hard part.

Huff det var skremmende😳 håper alt gikk fint til slutt. Flott landskap, litt «canyonland» liknende

just started watching: there's something about that landscape, i mean, it's breathtaking - the beauty of it brings me to tears, that's how it affects me. must be Amazing for you! thank you for taking the time and effort to capture this.

For the less hardy small motor homes are perfect to live in these kinds of storms. I have a 23 ft motorhome. I made the wall and window insulation especially thick to conserve on propane and batt charge. My favorite high elevation spot is just east of Glacier National Park at 5700 elevation. For 30 days at each stay, I camp in a cow pasture about 3 squares miles in size. Some of the storms in Glacier National Park are some of the fiercest and dangerous on Rt. 89 to Canada. One Canadian told me about going south Rt 89 pulling a "pop up" camper. Suddenly the camper was jerking on the tow-bar and starting to lift off the ground. The next thing the driver remembers in being upside down in his truck in the ditch. I met this guy around 2009 in Great Falls, MT. He said he will never us Rt 89 to go into US. Some of the winds in this area swirl and move and swirl and shake the RV from every direction. Laying in the darkness on a long night listening to the howling winds buffet the RV cabin. I feel safe and secure under the covers until a sudden gust of wind slams into the side and rocks almost out of bed. The winds in the distance are crashing their way through the forest, and roar like a not-so-far-away freight train going by. At times I wonder if I'll "run" into problems where I will need assistance. So far, only once out of 14 years of doing this. In three weeks, I will return to mountains. This kind of "vision questing" will bring me step closer to inner peace. Thumbs up, subscribed, and thanks. Great nostalgia for me. PS: this kind of "vision questing" will bring someone one-step closer to "spiritual" maturity.

Have a Cabela's Alaskan Guide tent, 4 man. I know it's too heavy for what you do, but it is the most solid tent that I have owned. No leaks, withstands wind. It's awesome, as is your video. Thanks!

Pure adventure! Very few people experience raw nature like you did.

You must have been thoroughly miserable stuck in the tent all that time ☹️ but you pitched it so well, it was barely moving. Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you so much for sharing, I’ve subscribed ♥️👍

Wow love the experience and thank you for sharing this with us 👍

Amazing storm. I have watched this video before and just had to watch it again. Of course, this time I knew that you lived through it, so it was quite so scary. You did a great job securing the tent down, otherwise you would have ended up in Alaska. Too bad you didn't get to finish your hike but better safe than sorry.

Seriously beautiful place the area is stunning no people just nature cant beat it

So beautiful place. I love rain also. My best wishes from Greece. Always be safe my friend and stay strong

Glad you're showing the "other side" of camping, rather than the "always sunny" kind of side we most often see in the social media. This is how wild camping will be every once in a while, even though maybe not this extreme. Shows the importance of a high quality tent. Sure, your soulo is leaking, but just imagine what this storm would've done to a

Hey brother great channel I love camping in storms.

Brilliant stuff; like usual! Regarding the HB Soulo: it is a great tent in many respects, however again and again they fail to fix issues regarding leaking zippers. I have seen people receive emails from HB saying that they recommend putting some seam seal in such areas, but really, for the price, they should be doing that. I personally only use my Soulo in winter when it is dry and cold / snow, not outside of winter when it is wet. I prefer my MLD Trailstar for all situations outside of winter. Nothing to fail on such a simple design, and no leaking zips or wind driven rain coming through top vents.

beautiful view, beautiful landscape, everything was so awesome.. i hope you were doing well because the rain storm was so scary..

I did enjoy it... from a safe and warm place! Glad you posted this. I've tried to sleep in rising water before [unsuccessfully], but NOTHING like this!

Hello! The tundra in the video is spectacular. The wide open countryside is amazing with its stark beauty. Such dramatically different areas compared to the fjords and towering cliffs. I loved seeing the caribou/reindeer. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I absolutely love your videos. Your cinematography is wonderful. I would LOVE to backpack the route you did in Yellowstone. Glad you were safe during and after that phenomenal thunder and lightning storm. Happy Hiking

Wow Jarl , now that was kind of scary! I was hoping the tent wouldn't blow away because of that crazy wind. I was worried for you. I don't know what I would have done in that situation. I guess those weather forcasters were way off base. And you had a long way to go to get to the car ! I love videos of camping in the rain, but not with all the wind and lightning threatening your safety. So glad you made it back safely! I don't know how I missed this one but I'm going through your older ones now.I just got finished watching your latest driving in the worst snowstorm. Be safe and sending you good vibes from Ohio ❤️

I'm sorry for your problems with a tent and leaking... Hope that this adventure did not leave a bitter taste for you. Great movie and I wish you all the best in the future adventures!

very relaxing video, please make more good videos bro

cool shot! one of my motivations to join in making solo camping videos too

Really rough weather.Well done on making a great video.

So much appreciation for you uploading this in 4k HDR :)

Good day to you! I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan. I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. This is so nice adventure video! Awesome! Have a nice day my friend!

Thanks so much for this. It’s lovely to share your tent in the rain. My worry, when I imagined myself in your situation, was the metal/carbon fibre tent frame. It might protect against lightening like a faraday cage but who would want to find out? Best wishes, Jonathan.

Wow!!!That was so INTENSE Jarl.So glad you are o.k. 🌟

Really adventure great, the rain sound were amazing as well as the wind, thanks for sharing your solo camping experience despite unexpected unfavorable weather conditions 👌

This was my first time to see your channel. I have to say that was one relentless storm and I'm glad to see you made it through even though you didn't get any sleep. That lightning though was scary. I will be sure to check out more of your adventures. Stay safe.

Norweigan is SO beautiful! Having a similar channel (with nature and sounds of nature) my dream is to spend a hole month in your beautiful country to enjoy and to film! Thank you for the video! Haven´t been brave enough to film in rain and thunder yet :P

Very interesting natural scenery....very beautiful... This is a very extraordinary solo camping...so cool.... The sound of the rain sounded very natural... I really felt I was there....

First of all let me say that the natural scenery is just beautiful! On a second note I think you are fairly well protected inside your tent from the electrical discharges, as the metal polles that support your tent, create a dome shape around you, that ends inside the ground, therefore any possible lightning strike would be directed towards the ground leaving you intact. Though I have to admit it would be a fairly dangerous and not pleasant experience at all... Nonetheless, I love camping in rough weather!

Norway is a fantastic country. Just imagine having that nature in your back yard!

The music that accompanies your videos is just beautiful!

Wow the scenery looks amazing and so peaceful ❤❤

ITS so lovely the Nature . I Love to See this in real. Verry verry nice.ty for Sharering..🇩🇪

Man O Man you were so Lucky to have put your Tarp up .Be safe and have fun .I used to do a lot of camping

Great Adventure !! Beautiful Wildlife. That was Scary. But You made it.

Just use foam ear plugs, compress them down and pop them into your ear. They will expand filling up the ear canal. Plus I always go walking with a large umbrella, I use it as a windshield, a walking stick, and it keeps my upper body from getting wet in rain, it all so provides shade from the sun. The shaft goes into my jacket pocket, and the upper part of the shaft is held in place with a strip of Velcro rapped around my backpack shoulder strap. This leaves my hands free. I have also used it a make shift wind shield when cooking. I sir pose you might be able to open it in the tent to protect your upper body from the rain in a leaky tent. (I don’t know)

Wow, mind blowing atmosphere man. This is outstanding! 👌👌

one of the best rainstorm tent on youtube.....👍👍👍

What an adventure! I was walking 22 km through heavy rain yesterday and there was nowhere to escape from it (no tent with me) ;)

Hats off sir Amazing footage so peacefull, calm and scarry at the same time The landscape kills thnx for sharing stay safe greetings from GREECE

Great video ! I think most other tents would have collapsed in those conditions but agree that a Hilleberg shouldn’t be leaking at all especially considering what they cost. I’ve seen it on more than a few videos now so you’re not alone with your frustrations! Keep up the great work.

Um show de imagens deslumbrantes!!!obrigada por compartilhas com a gente

Awww maaan. I am gonna have to go camping again soon. Havent been in years, but to me this is what it is all about. Sheltering in your tent from the elements. Weathering out the storm. Haha. Nice once!

IM glad that you made it through the storm,be safe!

Beautiful landscape

Super cool. Camping with rain..greeting from Thai camper!😊

He looks pretty save to me yes the tent is doing its job considering the extreme conditions.

Watched the first 7 minutes and what can I say but what beauty 🥺

i did a search for "Alaska storm, < 24 hours", and luckily this appeared not too far down in the results. (Even though not about the Alaska storm that is imminent.) This is amazing footage. Subscribed. I really like how you put the camera down and get still shots. I've lost my sense of vestibular balance, so even the bobbing when I am walking will give me brain fog, and watching a camera bob up and down is very difficult for me to watch for more than a few seconds.

Man, that was a hell of a storm, glade that I was home.

Love camping in a tent in the rain, but not when it’s to cold.

Woah, that lightning was so close! Was scared for you when a few of those flashes went off! great video! ⛈️

Muito bom Estou curtindo muito os vídeos teus 👏👏👏 Estou ancioso para o próximo vídeo 🙏 Abraço 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Regards and love from India that you stayed their with patience in that much thunderstorm and lightning.

What a lovely planet..we are blessedxxx🙏

I would snuggle up and enjoy that !

You must share this with Hilleberg! Fantastic video, first one I have seen on your channel, now a subscriber 🏕 🙏

Melhor acampamento que já assisti....👏👏👏

As long as there’s no tornado, I love wicked weather.

Absolutely gorgeous, I enjoyed even the storm :). Thank you for posting this video.

excellent filming style and editing
