Living Alone in the Wild Siberian Forest for 20 years (-71°C, -96°F) Yakutia 

Thank you everyone for watching and your kind words about Samuil 🙏🏻 we are going to visit Samuil soon, what would you like to see next?

It seems like gifting this man a window could drastically improve his quality of life.

The fact that this man has lived in those conditions for over 20 years, is mind blowing and inspiring. He chooses that life when thousands of people have everything in the world and are so unhappy.. God bless this man..

This is how RU-vid should be used for! Taking us around the world and discover unknowns.

His love for his mother brings tears in my eyes.

What a guy. No complaints, no fear. Just living…

I was sobbing at the end, the part with singing to his mother had me all in tears. Great video, thank you so much

That wise old man would be an absolute wealth of knowledge for someone wanting to learn about survival. It's amazing how some people still live like this.

The dog singing along with him is so cute 🥹 This makes me realize how much I take for granted. Thank you for sharing this man's story with the world.

What is most important is the fact that despite living all alone and in the midst of so much of hardships, he keeps himself motivated to live happily. My hats off to him.

As humans in a modern society, we take so much for granted. We all could learn so much from this gentle soul

The song he sang in the end ❤❤❤❤ He is just badly missing his mother, his family, in every living moment of his life.... Feel soo sad for this Pure Soul ❤❤😢😢

Someone get Samuil a new window and a snowmobile for when he needs to shop for food so he doesn’t have to walk 5 hrs in cold. 😘

He did more in one day than I’ve done in six months. Chopped wood, warmed his home, collected fresh water, made two meals, fed his pups, and performed two songs (one of which featured one of the pups). Hell, I’m doing good if I mow the yard after work lol. This guy is twice my age and twice the man I am, I tell ya what.

1 week is too much, 20 years is INSANE. This man is a living legend. Much respect!

What a remarkable, sad yet inspiring story. Bless this man, you can hear the love and yearn he has for his late mother..god bless you man!

OK, this guy is basically my new hero. Forever 👍🏼 He's a straight up living stoic.

Get this man a proper, double glassed window please. He's precious and deserves it!

This as a russian bedtime-story. A long time ago, a Russian child lived in poverty with his family. His entire family died and he moved to the forest to live in isolation. He had to chop wood every day to keep warm. His only friends were dogs with whom he shared his food and warmth, sang songs and waited for summer. He patiently awaited the day when he would die and see his family again. The end. Kinda feels bitter sweet. Strange how it feels like we all have more stuff but so little from life.

God bless such simple and noble souls who choose to live so primitively and remind us how hard most of humanity has had it til recently

What a sweet vid. Simple, humble and deeply humane if not conventional. Long life to Samuil and his 4 legged companions. Next time you visit him, please pass along my greetings from (F) Normandy. 6500+ km away, I still can feel his inspiring energy.

Man that scene where he is singing with his dog is so touching, really shows you how kind hearted he was.

Ah, man... His last song made me cry, and I once again get reminded that we should express our love as much as possible because love is the only thing in life that's eternal, people go, money goes, and time flies past but the only way you'll be remembered is through love. Beautiful episode!

Очень сильные и добрые люди!!! Спасибо большое за отличный фильм,дай бог ему крепкого здоровья!!! Огромный привет с Казахстана, Усть-каменогорск

People are so overrated so I understand his desire to live alone in the forest with his 4 legged friends. So much respect for Samuil. I wish him well.

mother and rest family lost when he was young.. and after decades he still sings to his mother in her remembrance.. that was heart touching. may God bless him with peace, health and happiness till the last moment before he goes to see his mother again!

Tears are flowing. Guys, this video is not about the window. This video is about a lonely, suffering but very strong soul which has found some consolation in the heart of nature.

His last song made me cry🙂 God bless to samuil❤️🧿

"Providing this gentleman with a window could dramatically enhance his quality of life. Such a simple act has the potential to bring immeasurable joy and light into his world."

Can we get this guy a window?! Seems like he would appreciate that very much.

this man is definition of hardwork and survival. Not an inch of laziness in this guy, crazy.

Takes a real man to do what this man is doing he has all my respect

His song at the end made me emotional 🥺

I had tears in my eyes at the end when he talked to his mother 😥

Amazing person. I came across the guy once while walking around Lake Baikal in 2013. Anatoliy was his name and I have spent a night in his house, similar to the one in the video. Anatoliy lives in the most remote part of the lakeshore, it took me around 2 months to reach that place. At that point, he lived there for 52 years already, rarely meeting with other people, unless a boat with tourists came around. Anatoliy has frostbites on all his fingers which are almost completely gone. The area contains one of the biggest populations of brown bears and every night they come around the house, not to damage or look for food. I think they just come to wind him up as he is a part of nature there. There were claw marks all over the house but no damage. At night there was a lot of growling around. Very simple person and very friendly. He told me the story about himself and how he ended up there. As a young man (20 YO) he was already an alcoholic and during the winter in Listvianka, he and his mate went drunk outside. His friend died that night frozen to death and Anatoliy was found almost frozen, lost all his fingers and almost his arm. He decided to leave the world of people and move to the wild, where he remains until today I hope. I was given very useful tips on how to predict the rain according to how ants behave, how to avoid bears, and what to forage. Also warned me of the poachers which I encountered later during my trip. I would love to go back there and learn more from him. Such a simple yet very wise person.

I respect this a simple life no drama no stress no modernization in his life.

Such a pure soul. I hope he stays well and thriving.

No matter how you look at it, life is hard everywhere. This is a man of steel.

His song at the end had me in tears. He’s obviously had some terrible tragedies during his life and like most of us would, misses his mother. Bless you Sir and I’m sure one day, she’ll hug you again. 🙏🏾

Sounds like a modern day Richard Proenekke. I see a lot of people here saying that this man needs this and this man needs that. I think he’s doing just fine. We shouldn’t project what would make us comfortable onto this man. He obviously does not value the same things. I think he values solitude and self-reliance and a connection to nature. Maybe listen to the song that he sings at the end.

I'm crying when he sing the song to his mother... It's beautiful song ... I hope he always happy and healthy ..

I really enjoyed the end where the camera crew gave the man gifts and cut some firewood for him. Showing true human compassion and love. Love your videos. Greetings from Minnesota, USA.

His love for his mother and wish to reunite at this age is unbelievable 😢 May god help him

The level of silence out there must be amazing. I have sensory issues and the amount of noise living in civilization is overwhelming at times. When the power goes out or when it snows is such a soothing time for me. I can't imagine that level of quiet 😌😌🧘‍♀️ Also, I think he works harder in a day than I have in the last 10 years. Mad respect 🙏🙏🩷

I feel sorry for Sam and his dogs...community needs to help them out...ending was beautiful ❤❤

Almost all of us here can't even IMAGINE living like that! not to mention no internet this man is simply AMAZING for this!

I wish this had been 3 hours. What a charming person. He’s coping with his losses in a way that’s let him somewhat heal and continue living after he lost his family.

This man is a rare breed. I am amazed by this guy

What I liked the most...you shared and got him the essentials to live a life his way. Your team didn't judge him and helped him along the way. Thank You!!

Lots of young men, including me, dream of living a life like this. Being a lone wolf in the wild, with nobody around and fending for yourself at every given turn - but to achieve this, takes a truly strong, courage filled person, and that is extremely rare.

His love for dear mother is elequent.❤❤❤❤

I did not skip all advert, watching on my tv and my phone... the help you gave him...... its so heart melting.... glad he gets to enjoy little things in life while he can... ❤❤❤

Aww he was probably so happy to get those gifts! How wholesome for letting you guys go do a documentary on him! That’s respect!

I appreciate the look through the window into this nice man's life. Now, can we get the man an actual window for his house?

I'm more gripped by this than 99 percent of the other sh*t banging around the internet today. I have more respect for this guy than any celebrity that has ever lived..........

The song he sang about his Mum instantly brought tears.

A window. Some insulation. A box of tools. And this man will have a much easier life

I can't explain it but somehow, It feels good, I feel good knowing that this guy is out there, doing it, living his life, his way. God bless him !

What a great soul Samuil is ❤ Much love to you Samuil, God bless you ! Can somebody not install a window on his little cottage? it will make a huge difference especially that he's getting older and it will be very bad to go all day long to carry wood. And a small dog sled? I'm sure people in Russia will help him with these 2 basic items. Thank you for the video ❤

The whisper of wind through trees and the distant calls of wildlife form a soothing backdrop, inviting us to connect with the natural world and find solace in its gentle embrace

Samuil said at 9:57 "if I had a proper window it wouldn't be so cold inside the house". With nearly 1,000,000 subscribers and income from this channel, that should surely be enough to pay for and install a window. Many people would also donate to a gofundme for this individual. Can you please post an update video. I would love to see that Samuil's life is less harsh.

Out of all the things i love most about this guy it is how he has his own music. Tin cans, bowls, cups, and some cutlery was all he needed to paint his emotions. Music runs through us all. Like a harmonic string connecting every individual, still alowing each individual their own taste for sound.

this man is so thankful and have a lot of patience

Best video ive seen in a long time. U just gained a new subscriber for life ❤God bless u guys for helping Samuil 🙏🏼

That song in the end! Sums up his whole life. Just takes the heart away with his innocence. He chose a struggling life away from the village which suggests he lost interest in socializing but has strong survival instincts. May he live in the same peace and end his time happily with the same song one day. Loved his four legged friends who eat and sing with him..can't figure out if it's ok to be happy or sad but life must go on

This almost seems like a fairy tale... once upon a time, an old man lives alone in the forest in the coldest place on earth... I'm tearing up. All your videos really touch the deep bottom of my heart, it makes me see the most pure form of human heart.

Interesting to see how someone with so little and such a difficult life can be so happy and full of joy.. The simplest things can often bring the most joy and meaning.

Those last lines... Heart melting

This man is a true inspiration. Living the life that he wants... and on his own terms 👍

I too live alone his song to his Mother had me in tears.I lost my Mom she lived through WW-2 .I have her picture here and talk to her daily. She loved music and could sing with the best of them! Miss you so very much Mom your loving son.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. All the best for Samuil

Thats how you live...no excuses no fear...❤

My goodness this guy has such willpower and inner strength to live on the edge of what is humanly possible. He has such a tough life, with no luxuries and has to work so hard for every crumb of food or drop of drink. It is inspiring and it was touching to see the cameramen give him a few very valuable resources. Wonderful heartwarming story and make you realise how lucky most of us are,and makes you appreciate this more and not take it for granted. Major respect and love to him! Andy

I'm never going to complain about the cold winters in England ever again. I wish I could assist this man.What events forged this mental strength and isolation? His love for his mother must be immense.

This is the most touching video I have seen on Yakutsk.. Thanks for this video.. The last song is the highlight..I love Sam, feel very bad he lives alone for these many years😢

Love and greetings from Turkey to our cousins ​​in Yakutia. Even though we are physically far away, our hearts are with you.

At the end of the video the song he sang hits my heart . Thank you Kiun B & team for arranging and providing him essentials. Samuil I hope you are safe and happy.

This man is happier than probably at least 70% of the people i know living in the modern world.

❤❤❤😢thank you guys for your support to samuil sir… please continue to help him with some things he needs..I am ready to pay for this 👍

Behind the camera part was so generous and melted my heart ❤️

I don't know why, but I started crying when he started sing about his beloved mother 🥺 he seems so kind and really nice! I hope he's doing okay, wishing him only best things to happen in his life! Thank you and for your team 🥺❤️🤲🏻

Beautifully filmed, brought tears to my eyes when he began to sing about his mother. I hope he continues to live a happy and healthy life.. and if there’s anyway to get him a proper window I would love to donate!!!

Lots of respect for this lonely soul

Huge respect to the team for getting him gifts as a thank you for allowing them to document ❤

Mad respect for this man. I could never do it, winter is my personal hell. If I was stuck in a place like this, I don't know how long I'd keep my will to live.

It’s hard for me to imagine how resilient our ancestors use to be. How I wish I could have a time machine to just observe ancient civilizations or anything, it would be so fascinating.

what an inspiration of life in peace with oneself, but his love and yearning for his mother is soo touching

Dog be like "0°F? It's gonna be a bit balmy today, dad." I saw that dog go outside and casually wander around and think of my dog who makes quick work of it when going outside to take care of business at 20°F, dancing around on her little freezing paws. I'm glad this little family has such joy together ☺️

It hits 10M views within 2 months, this man deserves such a bigger gift.

He’s got more grit than most of humanity currently does. Look to him for inspiration whenever you’re complaining its too cold outside. He endures and makes the most of his simplistic life, yet still has time to keep his family of dogs happy. Keep on marching, sir.

Amazing Kiun..I admire you on helping those who have not. Keep up the good work. It really fascinates me the culture of people from Yakutia..

What an incredible human being. Pure admiration!

How strong, pure and life loving a human being must be to be able to live a life like that. Samuil, I take a bow to you.

No phone, no internet, no TV...........just peace and quiet. Although it's hard work in the winter, Samuil just gets on with it. Lovely!!

Samuil is incredibly strong for his age! Kudos, Sir! ❤

Loved this - wonderful to see life in such a remote place. Blessings to him!

the amount of work this man has to do each day just to stay alive is astounding.

Goes to show you just how little one needs to survive and be happy. Hats off to you sir.

A man simply living with peace and harmony 💕

What an inspiring story. Thanks for sharing this incredible man's story with us!
