118 people SLAUGHTERED by Wolves | Did wolves really kill an entire wedding party in Russia? 

Wish he would of been mine. Course I'm 65. 😂😊

He practicly is, his better of that way, he's got more acces of audiences

@@lucasmejia3033 uh der

History professors are required to learn at least one foreign language for research purposes, conduct original research and publish papers regularly. I love his channel, but there’s a big difference between sharing existing documented history in an entertaining manner (a valuable service) and producing original history.

@@iimnuckinfutzlol@you judging his comment. 🙄

This is very high praise. The channel is a year old. Maybe one day. Thank you.

What do you even do when 40 wolves pull up? I'm not a rancher, but to me, 40 wolves sounds like it's time to break out the mortars. You said "packs," as in plural. After the first time, I would have started laying a minefield. You have to expand on your comment. You and yours, and your ranch must be really out in the stix to encounter packs that big, and also really on point to be able to handle them. The way your comment is written, implies that these large wolf packs are no big deal. You could have said something like "On our ranch, packs of 40 have come through, and they're no joke, they decimate our livestock, make life difficult, etc." I'm guessing that you shoot them... with tranq darts and very humanely relocate them. So how do you do it? Snow mobiles, atvs, dog sleds, snow shoes? What time of the year do they come through? Do you make use of dogs? I'm even curious to hear about your utilities, sewage system, water, electric, gas, what kind of soil, what's the drainage like, how do you mark the boundaries of the property, how do you even get to your ranch? Is there a driveway off a paved road? Say I'm at the threshold, the main entrance. What do I see? You don't have to answer all or even any of that. But whatever you have to say, whatever you feel comfortable sharing, I am all ears.

Always have to have one in the bug out bag.

@@datesanddeadguys no doubt 😅👍🏻

The German/Russian Wolf truce was actually in the original script for this video. It was going to be a lot longer and include that as well as the Pilovo and Kirov Attacks. I couldn’t make them work together though. The Wolf Truce is a really tough one to research. There is a story from a handful of papers about it but kind of the like th 1911 wedding attack there are no names or quotes, which is not a great sign. What Is true for sure is that Russians and Germans killed a ton of wolves in the war, regardless of if a truce ever took place. And I did find one journal entry from a nurse on the front named Natalia Linka it goes as follows: January 14, 1918. “wolves have [changed] a lot, and they don’t have enough food. Sick and wounded soldiers die on the road, there is nobody to bury them, and they become prey to the beasts.” I will go back to those stories in a separate video down the road but right now I’m in the middle of writing an episode on how close the Yamasee War was to destroying the Carolina Colony in 1715. Thanks for the support.

@@datesanddeadguys very interesting. Thanks for the reply and info shared. Looking forward to more of your work. 👋

Love to hear it!

This was more or less always the plan. In the last one I just read the article verbatim from the NYT. I got a new mic I wanted to test out and was having trouble with the script for this video. I wanted to talk about the WWI Russian/German wolf truce, the 1927 Pilovo Attacks, and the 1940s Kirov Attacks also but it was a big mishmash and didn’t fit together. I’ll get to them eventually but next up is when the South Carolina Colony was nearly destroyed in the Yemassee War.

Right on I commented that before I was able to actually watch the video still haven't watched it but I'll watch it later

I don’t know that story. That would be some fun reading.

I would like my chances better against a wolf than Khabib. I wish so bad he didn’t retire.

Like why bro?

The ex wife musta got you all salty

@@VANRICKELEN 🤪 I’ve never been married.

​@@sevenstepsurvivali have a feeling you're not likely to be either lol

@@isfbuster6733 no I wouldn’t bring the government into my life like that

Why travel unarmed, though

There is even a news article, I believe from the NYTs, that talks about how the wolf probably got so rough that the Germans and Russians paused the fighting so they could deal with the wolf problem. I found two journals from people at the time that elude to wolves but nothing as dramatic as the claims made by the NYT. It does seem that wolves were acting as scavengers of the dead in at least a minor degree. The horrifying thought is that the injured could easily have been seen by scavengers in a similar light as the dead.

@@datesanddeadguys I forget where i read it, but one story said that during one battle there was a huge super pack that started attacking during the fighting and both sides turned their weapons on the wolves killing a great many of them

@@datesanddeadguys You should do a story about the Polish WW2 hero bear named wojtek. His is a very remarkable story!

@@airborne101pathfinder7 I actually have a wojtek mug. Years ago there was a show on RU-vid called Horrible Histories hosted my Shane Madej who did a really enjoyable video on Wojtek. It’s a panel show but it’s really fun if you want to check it out.

@@datesanddeadguys Oh that aar between the Lenape and the Shawnee was called the Grasshopper war, and it was started....Yep...over a grasshopper.

I’m doing my best. Lots of work but I’m trying to get something out every two weeks. Thanks for watching.

It sounds scary in Polish.

@@datesanddeadguys but meaning is not scary, in common understanding, we usually use it in funny way; always look on the bright side of life 😄

Nice doggie

First clue it wasn't true. And maybe it was a typo. Maybe it was 18 people, which is unlikely but possible. 118 people... That's a ton of horses to drag them through heavy snow.

Russians have Orthodox patriarchs, not matriarchs

Hell yes!!! Who else but sabaton

Common tactic of wolves, foxes, wild dogs and other wild canines. Food tends to be scarce, so if there's a sudden abundance they may slaughter the lot - think a fox in the hen house - and even cache some of the meat under ground to eat later.

It would be a lot of fun if it was the yeti.

There was an alleged massacre by Yeti (Alma) in Russia of nine people at the Dyatlov Pass. More likely a human monster did it.

It was either that or “Wolf Burrito.”

Sorry you are not a fan. This channel may not be for you. Good luck finding what you enjoy.

Agreed, he’s an ass

​@@datesanddeadguysYour humor DOES NOT escape me! It's Good STUFF! On a serious note, in the 1980s I was attacked twice by a trained guard dog that "had turned" (it was 90 to 100 lb). I was later told it was from a breed meant to protect against wolves. I had no ax, gun, knife, or backup... and it was NOT a training exercise. I only had my hands, feet, my will to live & God's grace. FOR YEARS I woke up in a cold sweat. The Russian wolf tale was probably just that, but a canine that truly wants to kill you? SERIOUS STUFF!

Would you consider not being so fragile?
