Lars, excellent video, definitely temped to get a tent at some point! I liked seeing you mention about leaving something for the forest to say thank you, traditions of this kind are just fantastic, and also when you say hello to the trees in previous videos (Grandmother). Wæs þu hæl brother.
'Frikkadelle' .. you got it 100% .. Well done 👍. My Dad used to call them 'Mystery Balls' .. because if somebody else cooked them, you were never completely sure as to what was inside 😊.
They're called "frikadelle" in Afrikaans. I grew up in South Africa and that was always a staple in our household, along with bobotie and of course braaivleis!
Lars, The stove for the tent puts it way above other tents that don’t have that feature. Awesome concept, whether for Siberia or other climates. Stay safe from the virus. Steve, Florida USA
Corporates like more and more revenue.There employees are incentivises to achieve this. But RU-vid is awesome in any case. It's better to be happy with what you have .If you had Bentleys people would think you are in the mafia.Or try to steal them. I am new to your channel and just subscribed. Excellent tent. Great for extended expeditions. Thanks Lars. Cheers from Polly in Australia.
I bought this tent on your recommendation. I am incredibly satisfied and could see my self spending weeks in it and not go crazy. I do wish that it came with English instructions.
Actually bought the UP-2 and some silky saws because you suggested them. I will never use other saw brands but silky and the tent is really really awesome. It never let me down at any point, rain, sun, snow and wind it always provides shelter.
Yes Lars , I go now every day to the forest with my bike for meditation and photography . The forest make me happy and even more in this very difficult time . Today I took a nap near a pond in the sun , it was today plus 23 degree celcius . Take care of yourself . Peter .
I know one guy from Alaska who have a tent like the one you have and it came from a Russian company and he and his wife love it. I saw one video you made of that tent before and it have to be a great item to have. That was nice to leave something in the forest for the animals to eat and that is a good tradition to follow.
I was a bit worried there was never going to be a "day 3" episode... :) I really enjoy watching your videos Lars - they're just mesmerizing Greatings from Denmark
I would love for you to tell us about your traditions and folklore since you leave gifts and say hello to the elder trees and how you learned them. I think it’s very kind and just makes plain sense to do. I’m sure a lot of your fans would love to hear them too we woods people like that stuff. Here’s a funny story. My grandma use to leave food bits out for the spirits. She would say, “leave it for the spirits.” As a kid I didn’t know what to think of it but I did because grandma said so! So I tell the kids when I don’t feel like washing dishes right after dinner, “we will leave it out for the spirits for a bit.” As a joke.
It's a cracking bit of kit Lars, no doubt. With a good water source and scoff you are solid. Decent bed and warm blanket, printing tool and you are set for month on end. Lovely. Stay safe mate.
Great video once again Lars! Really like your longer videos! Your appreciation for the traditional ways is why I watch your channel. Keep up the good work and that you for informing the uneducated about varusteleka's awesome inventory!
@@SurvivalRussia No problem Lars wouldn't do it for any other content provider and I suggest everyone else watches videos in full it's least we can do for you Lars. Cheers Steven.
Mrs SR's meat ball thingies that you fry in a pan are called rissoles where I come from. In our house if they are over cooked we call them hockey pucks.
Just to let you know.!!! You are seriously Awesome bro.!!! & that I love ya like a brother.!!! And I hope, and pray that you are a brother in Christ.!!! And if not that you, and your entire family will soon be.!!!
For inside my tent between the cots and outside in front of the door I lay out artificial outdoor grass. It really keeps the tent clean and protects the tent floor.
I have all the necessary equipment to go "camping" or "bug out" but unfortunately we were "told" to shelter-in-place and not to travel to certain parts of upstate New York hope you and your family are staying safe during this event
This is cooking with mafia better to “bug in” than “bug out” at this particular time. bugging out into the woods will automatically make you a refugee, not to mention if you have young children, health problems , food procurement and the list goes on, I’m 500 km away from the arctic circle surrounded by millions upon millions of hectares of boreal forests and fresh water lakes. We only have 5 cases of Covid19, I’m in the woods a lot but I still would not bug out to them because of this and what’s going on. Bugging out for me would have to be some major catastrophe/event . Be safe down there and take care of yourself and your family ATB from Yellowknife Canada
Keep coming back to this tent. Swore I wouldn't buy another after getting a Snowtrekker. Kinda glad I can't see it in person or my Snowtrekker could quite easily endup for sale.
I hate mosquitos. I don't think there is anything worse than to be almost asleep and then.....you hear that high pitched buzz and know to are under attack!! No-see-um's are just as bad.....maybe worse! I like the tent, stove and minicrawler…..yep, it's official, I'm jealous!!
A truck I like to use when waking up in a cold tent or cold cabin is to put tomorrows clothes inside the foot of the sleeping back so I can layer up before I have to get out. 🤙
FOUR YEARS LATER: I finally purchased this same model tent. I will use it year-round in some juniper forest in the mountains of New Mexico. We have some snow, some rain, and a good bit of wind in our area. I particularly needed to have a walk-in door, an insulated floor, and space for a cot. I am now too stiff and too weak to crawl in and out of a bivvy.
In English, the flat meat patties, or meatballs, are called?.. "Rissoles" .. They are great hot with gravy, onions, and potato. Really like your survival show Lars. Keep on surviving, keep an eye out for them there Bears. Aren't you glad there are no dragons in Russia?.
It looks like a good tent. I noticed the improved their website. I checked on it months ago and it was difficult to understand. Now, it's easy. Expensive but free shipping. Shipping must cost a bundle.
Glad to see pt 3. Thanks. As someone else said, it would be cool if you did a bit more on the cooking videos. I enjoyed the snowshoe hare one. Outdoor cooking is awesome!
Still an awesome video even though some of the footage was lost. Seeing the snow being out in the woods is always awesome :) at some point I want to get that tent. Thanks for sharing Lars
Thanks to the lockdown i can not go camping next weekend... Campings in the Ardennes are closed too! Only cross the border for business or so.... But i need IT!!!
Awesome!!! Just Saw the video from the Gentlemen in Alaska on this Hot tent... Very Cool Lars!!! I love You Man... God Bless You and Your Family ;) Maine, USA
Lars, use your influence with that tent maker and ask them to make a snow camo version of the orange cover listed on their website. Thanks in advance. Safe travels and stay safe.
I’ve watched a lot of Survival Russia, but this made the wife and I jump in our seats.....frikadeller in Russia ❤️ Respect Your thoughts on Youtubing! Get out there, get on the train, get it done....we will.
If you left food in the bush here in Canada the Whisky jack our national bird would eat it! My Grandmother told me as boy a boy not harm the Whiskyjacks as they were the spirits of died Woodmen.
I bought the tent and stove combination on your earlier recommendation. It is an awesome tent. Thanks for your honest reviews. Got a silky saw as well.
It is funny to notice that Lonnie from FNB&S reviewed this exact same tent less than a month ago on his channel. It definitely is a beast of a tent, but I still find it too comfy and "civilian" in a way. The difference in temperature between inside and outside is just ridiculous, and would make me want to stay inside all the time, whereas being outside urges one to get used to the cold which will happen automatically in a day. Anyway, keep up the good work and stay safe and healthy Lars!
So Lars, we aren't hearing anything about the virus in Russia. What's going on with it? Also, just an FYI, in english, we say oven for something we put the food inside to cook, and stove for things we cook on top of. Glad to see a vid. I like the longer ones, especially when it's been a while.
Great to see and hear of some of your fails Lars. 600 mosquitos and 2 men in a closed tent, what a great night that must have been, makes an unmentionalble part of me curl up just to imagine it. Also, your mention of the folklore names of spirits of various places was interesting because these ways of communicating once taught people to respect the environment that they were in and a transient part of. Honouring comes from the word honest, and learning to honour and respect the mystery of our surroundings, instead of just that which we think we know all about when we ignore anything that doesn't fit this limited picture, is to honestly recognise the limitations of consciousness. Respect to you Lars, (and to the known and to the unknown,) and the honest truth of our human existence is that we can stumble around on the earth while trying to recognise only the things that make us feel safe and secure, or we can use our imaginations to extend the picture to include other possibilities, and by respecting our environment, global and local, perhaps to prepare for the spirits of possible events that will remain unkown to us until they come along and insist that we notice them. Respect basically says to look again, and again and again, and to take nothing for granted, and respecting the mystery of the life within each of us and in the outside world is a bit like watching you on your channel. I do not know you, and you do not know me, and yet we can each respect the other by being honest about what we sense, and if we can be totally honest about the spirits that inhabit our inner and outer worlds, we can learn that self-respect requires self and other boundaries of behaviour.
It was seriously less than awesome. We had very little energy for the day we had ahead us. I will not make that mistake again :) I will let you in on a "secret" here in the comment section. When Mrs SR was a small kid, she went to school everyday across the fields here. 2,5 km. She did that summer and winter. almost always alone. She once told me that she could speak/communicate wit the trees she passed by everyday. I asked her "how", but it was kind of difficult for her to explain in which way, but she understood them. She said she lost that ability after moving to Moscow for a number of years. College and University of course. I will have to ask her again about this I think.
@@SurvivalRussia I guess mosquitos are there to remind us that no matter how superior we think we are as human beings, with a clever and often crafty brain that thinks in words, numbers and other symbols, there are always other ways of life to be aware of within each of us, and of course to avoid if and when these life forms seem to want to distract us, and/or make us misereable. I recall being in the Badlands with 2 friends after a rain storm, and they hatched to form clouds and to look like a fog that surrounded each of us. Mouths, noses, eyes, hair, nothing was safe and they even found ways to bite through the weave of my jeans. The only relief from them was to run, because they seemed to lack speed and stamina, but I also recall a friend in a jungle location in another part of the world who would lay down to sleep quite happily amongst the mostquitos and just let them feed. He said he didn't feel them and it is a fact that he never had lumps and itchy bumps, so I guess he had found a way to share his life with them, while i could never sleep without a net that allowed me to fall asleep with a smug grin on my face as I listened to the sounds of the hungry hoards looking for a way in. ( But the smug grin was one of worry and concern that the net had a hole in it somewhere, of course, and I never slept as well as my friend.) Sure, Mrs SR was aware of the world around her in many different ways as a child. Life changes us as we grow, but these changes can also limit many of our ways of percieving the world, and ourselves as a part of the world that we grow into. These abilities are still there, of course, it is just that we learn to ignore them and to not trust them as a part of our conscious awareness. In reality, we learn so fast and of so many things when we are children that it is astounding, and yet as adults who have been taught to control our minds and to try to control the world around us, and to rely only on a thoughtful language of symbolic words for both internal and external communications, to learn in this way again can seem to be overwhelming. To be a sensitive human being sounds like a weakness in our adult world, and yes, it can make us vulnerable to the attacks of those who were born to be or who have grown to be less than sensitive, and yet this senstivity is always there within us, somewhere, and for some it can still be seen in our behaviour, in our faces, in the ways that we move and in the words that tell of an almost awareness of something mysterious existing that we cannot quite describe in the symbolic world of our adulterated, adult minds. Signs of life and symbols are not the same thing, and just as symbolic information acquired in words and the knowledge that comes with experience are different, so the knowledge that we acquired as children, who experienced the reality of our outer and inner worlds in a sensitive way, is difficult to described when we become rational adults, although this knowledegeable experience, both good and bad, can often be seen in the face of an adult or heard in the tone of a voice that is speaking.
Traditions are good. Yes, part of the problem in the world these days are those who try to squash all tradition. If we have our traditions we retain our strengths. There are powers that do not like this. I love to hear of all the traditions. True diversity.
@Chris Peters I'm not sure how you manage to politicize a heart felt compliment. I'm a USA country boy and I'm married to a Mexican and have very close Mexican family. Being a country boy doesn't make me racist or stupid. No matter where we are from.
Your wife's meatballs - you said the word Frikadelle, but that's German (and some of the Frikadellen I ate in Germany were from horse meat). We would call that maybe a hamburger (which is also a German word for a sausage from the city of Hamburg, but our hamburger is just a patty of ground beef we fry or cook on a grill). Her "meatball" looks like it has some other things in it, so we might call that meatloaf, but we cook meatloaf in the oven. No matter as long as it tastes good!
Love this tent, Do plan to buy it in the future. But my favorite part the stove/fire place I don't need where I live in Australia. Our battle with the elements are completely opposite to yours.
Another trick I like thag I learned from an old native trapper is to drink lots of water before bed so you wake up in a couple hours to stog the fire. And pee. Haha
