I Left my van in the Arctic & traveled to the USA to go Backpacking Mount Whitney in Eastern Sierra Nevada. Highest Peak in the Cont USA.

Next video from this USA trip    • Surprised by Snow & Winter Storm in Y...  

4 years since I hiked the Rae Lakes Loop, Big Seki loop & backpacked Mount Whitney, Hiking the Tallest Mountain in the USA (Outside Alaska), as well as other routes in Yellowstone, JMT, PCT & Sequoia Kings Canyon. With no elevation training for 4 years I plan on surviving by taking my time hiking on the PCT & JMT from Horseshoe meadows via Cottonwood pass, Crabtree meadows & Guitar lake. Sierra Nevada is some of the finest mountain scenery in California, America & the world, & the trail from the west side of Mt Whitney to the summit is the most spectacular route I ever hiked in my life, so do NOT do this in the dark just to see the sunrise because you need to see this spectacle of a trail in full daylight.

Alternative titles for this movie could have been.
Hiking 68 miles alone in the Eastern Sierra.
2.5 hours of ambient, not so silent hiking in the Sierra

Surviving my 2nd Winter of Extreme Van Life, Blizzard, Snow Storm Camping & Freezing Cold which includes:
This is my complete second winter of Winter Van Life in extreme conditions in the North, living in a van during freezing temperatures. Starting in November I go through the whole winter season of snowy winter adventures from November to April, with snow storms, blizzards, extreme cold, extreme snowfall, slippery roads and some amazing winter beauty as well.
I also show you what I learn as I go from my second winter in the van.

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.
