Good on you! great video! I left the big city and moved to a Mountaintop after my daughter survived the Columbine Shootings...neither she nor I were the same...so I had to come to wilderness to heal....I LOVE IT! I built my home and live offgrid..I am a 58 year old women. Thank you for sharing your the best!!!
Love the video> I love the part when you pull out the sausage in the morning and say just because we are out doesn't mean we have to eat strange crappy food.
You never get boring! And it's very obvious Russia knows how to make quality clothing!! Beautiful country Lars! Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming. Dan from Jersey USA
I've only just stumbled across your channel but I have to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. You're just so nonchalant in your delivery to the camera. You dont put needlessly long clips in. Keep it short and to the point but we still get the whole story and all the detailed information that makes it. Great videos. I'm looking forward to catching up with your most recent stuff. Take care and ATB, Mike
Your philosophy of not developing a 'bug out camp' site is different from most RU-vidrs. In my 'outdoor' life, I enjoy returning to familiar and properly sited camps. A prepared person doesn't need a permanent shelter, as you demonstrate so well. Still, you have fire and construction materials close at hand; left over from earlier adventures. Well, build a cabin or lean to and you will house a mouse or two. In some places, mice will attract snakes, as well as competing for your trail food. So, maybe it is a good thing to build a quick shelter each time you need one. You emphasize training, and repeated shelter building strengthens those skills that are necessary to build shelters. You are producing and starring in a great series. Thank you.
Lars I really do enjoy watching your videos. When you cut up the sausage, it brought back some good memories from when I was a kid camping with my dad. These videos motivate me every time to get back out into the woods and enjoy what God created. Very nice job my friend.
i and a friend had an encounter with a pack of dogs a number of years ago in Canada, we found an (empty) den, later that night the dogs turned up in our camp, it was a little worrying as we were in a canvas PUP tent and they were sniffing around outside. (pissed on the tent) lol ... i'm not sure if they trailed us or smelt the food we had. ... i'm not aware of dogs attacking healthy people, but there was a helicopter crash around the same time and when the pilots bodies were recovered they were partly eaten and their heads were missing.
I've subscribed and I'm going through some of your older videos and I'm really enjoying them. You give a totally different perspective than I'm used to seeing. It's always nice to know many ways of doing things. I live in an American state in the Deep South so I don't really get a lot snow. In fact, we're lucky if it snows once a year. But it still gets cold so knowing different ways to keep warm, build shelters and more is great information. So far, I've only watched three of your videos but I've already learned some different ways of doing things. Thank you for that. I think Russia is such a beautiful country and I hope one day I'll get a chance to visit.
I'm a female, and your common-sense approach to things is a Godsend. I've watched other people's videos and half of what they do isn't what I call wilderness or even bushcraft, if you know what I mean. I want the meat and potatoes, not the jello. :)
thanks lars been feeling crap lately & this has cheered me right up. love that fire idea & good to see you eating so well :) could you do a video on the jacket and its "survival" essentials - it would help out the new starters to survival / bushcraft. nice one buddy
funkyprepper Sorry to hear that but happy to help out. This fire just works very well :) Yeah this video is a bit heavy on the food info but it's because i have made separate videos on other topics. Here you also burn energy fast. At times the humidity is only 20%. It's makes -20C feel ideal :) Really. There will be a Smock dump video etc later on.
I'm catching up on your videos, and really love your common sense approach to "survival". There is a lot of crap on you tube that could get people hurt or worse, in the bush. I'm from Ontario Canada, and have done camping/canoeing with my brother for 30 -40 years, and it hurts me to see so much bad advice. You are the real thing, even if your home is only a few kilometers from your camp site, your advice is spot on...the truth. Thank-you for hours of video fun.
Bro long videos are righteous, for they show a LOT MORE than TV survival does, it gives your viewer a more around the clock shot of,you staying in that place and being there, on other shows you see them build it,mthey have a girl moment together then it's next day down the trail for next scene! Your POV shoots are awesome! Rock on bro! Wish you were stateside would love to show you the woods around here!
Lars, you’re one of my favorite sources of education and entertainment. I’m sure that filming your videos is, at times, a bothersome task but it’s greatly appreciated and valued. Thank you for all the trouble you go through for me and all the rest of your dedicated and loyal subscribers.
I have to tell you I enjoy your videos so much. and also how much pride you have in your country. I live in the USA and me and my family camps all the time. and also have alot of pride in who we are. keep up the great work and videos . very inspiring
Love your camp! Very well and simply built for short or long term winter camping. I am a fan of using hot rocks in winter camps not sure if you have safe rocks to use but that is the only thing I do different. Hot rock for boiling water, keeping the beds underside warm and stores heat very well! Awesome work Awesome video's Thanks for your work!
Rocks are good, if you have them :) There are no rocks or stones in this specific area. This is one of the factors making this a difficult place actually.
Bummer my friend, thanks for talking to me! It is difficult but you're making it look so cool! Really enjoy your work and video's Look forward to more! Awesome
Logica Redux Thank you buddy :) Buckwheat and Tushonka indeed makes a great meal. Nutritious and fast to make. Oh yeah, and last night we even had the northern lights going on for hours. That just looks awesome!
Ive been watching you more recently (past year and a half). I had never seen you without a head covering (hat, hood etc)!!! What an awesome recommendation
Hey there Survival Russia, just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, really loving it! And cool to see some more Danes getting on with the whole wilderness/survival/bushcraft thing on youtube! King Regards from Næstved!
Great video Lars. Yes the spring time will really challenge you in what kit to wear/bring. Nice and warm in the daytime, then really cold at night. Same can be said for fall I guess. We just had another 50 cms of snow here on PEI, and supposed to get another 15 cms tomorrow, so the snow is very deep. I agree that walking in deep snow is a long endurance trek for sure. I like your mixture of fresh food and dehydrated. The fresh sausage and bread adds well to dehydrated pouches. Love that saw! Take care and keep on with the great videos! Chris.
Lars. Thank you. This video took me from the city to the real world for just long enough to relax. I still have no interest in camping in northern Siberia, I am not tough enough. Keep on keeping on my friend. :)
been watching youre stuff for a couple of months...brilliant mate....im from wiltshire in england full of pre historic sites an decent walks..ive walked the ridgeway long distance path..well 85 miles of it....youre channel is full of great info..and if you dont mind me sayin..you sound like a decnt human being....good lad..keep up the good work and thanks ...mo...england
Great camp Lars! Very nice dome tarp over your bush bed, well done! Good comment on having kit with you when traveling from the main camp. When I leave my camp for day trips, I always have my daypack with stuff that will see me through the night, or two. A pot or cup to heat snow water in is very important, because dehydration is very bad when its cold out.
Wintertrekker Thank you very much :) I am not surprised you carry a day pack as you know the "game". The "Survival" guru's and school etc should focus on teaching people not to get into a survival situation....
Keep on keepin on ..... The longer the better. In fact I filter most my searches for plus 20 min. vids. Thanks for the excellent vids .... from the deserts of Nevada, USA
Just found this channel... Love love love... The new experience of how things are done... The fire for instance so different from what I've seen before... Going to go back and watch all of your other videos and probably subscribe as well.. peace and stay warm : )
So glad I found your videos a few weeks ago. And so glad I can be the first commenter after the last person from 4 years ago. I dont so social media, but I have been passing your videos on. Thanks for being awesome
Dude , when you give that advice about survival scenarios, it was awesome, so right and funny too , i be trippin out on it watchin ya, thanks man hell yes!!
Greetings, Lars. Really enjoy your videos. I get a good laugh from some of them. One day I'd love to come to Siberia.. I was born and raised in northern Canada so our climate and wilderness is somewhat the same. Stay safe and Happy New Year! Mike
Thanks. I like your no nonsense approach to sharing your skills. Add some Russian sayings every now and then, who knows in the process I could pick up a few relevant word of Russian to impress my friends. Keep on Bro !!
Good video Lars. I think we all like how you know what you are talking about and tell it like it is, no BS. Excellent points about always having important gear on your person and about the tv shows. We had a middle aged guy here in Canada a few years ago thinking he could go out into the vast wilderness we have here, in the middle of winter, and survive like Les Stroud from Survivorman because he watched all of the tv episodes. He was too arrogant to even tell anyone where he was going. He was later found by searchers frozen to death. He was found to have not done much to help with his chances of survival as well. He was an amateur who thought watching a tv show made him a pro and he died because of it.
The CapeBretoner Thank you. Interesting story. I have not thought of that the TV shows could have such bad consequences. It takes time to learn about the advantages winter provides you, and use them.
Looks like you had a great time out Lars my friend. You know, I agree that if your out for a camp it is not a survival situation its a camp. Be well, John
Great video as always Lars ! You hit the nail on the head about not putting yourself in a survival situation to begin with , I am a term believer in that statement ! ATB john
Great channel. Thanks a lot for that video that stressed pocket discipline.That is so important and could even be life saving. I always practiced pocket discipline but never thought to share it. Keep up the great work.
Where are the Bears, Moose and beavers, do you ever get threatened by big animals, and if not how do you avoid intrusions from them into your camp. Maybe I should go back and check all of your videos. Thanks for this fun adventure, beautiful country and wonderful presentations!!!! Keep up the excellent work, and May God Bless!
Great videos. I really enjoy seeing a different perspective in survival knowledge, from other cultures. Russian socks (pachenca?), Siberian big log fire, and different types of snow shelters. I'm from the northern USA and am looking forward to learning more.
Another top video Lars. Your simple point about food in the outdoors being a continuation of the types and flavours you normally eat at home is so important because it helps to maintain a good healthy diet and happy psychological disposition.. Great advice about the small hike kit. Do you use a candle for light at night? Thanks again, Greg
Awesome video, really enjoyed that. That canned pork sounds awesome wonder if we have something like that here in the states, I guess we have SPAM, lol. Jason
primalarcher Thank you Jason :) I would guess you have it if you have a Russian supermarket of food shop. It's called "Tushonka" in Russian and there's a lot of different makers and qualities. The more expensive ones are usually the best. The ones i eat contain 97.5% meat. I know spam and it's not the same. Trust me Jason LOL
Scouting Free Thank you my friend :)The German gear must be gloves and the Gebirgsjäger mütze. My kit is actually a big mix from many countries. Deutschland, Russian Federation, Soviet Union, Österreich and a little bit from the US ;)
I am a new subscriber and I love your videos and how much knowledge you have about surviving in the wilderness. When going away from home I make sure that I have the necessary items to get by until I can reach an area with more food and a place to stay.
