My friend sold his phone and bought land with that money! Russian Dacha! 

Good for your friend. It is smart to buy and own land. He can plant his food. He could fix up the shed and stay in there while he is working. Your a good friend to help him Dan.

I’m saying this before seeing much of the video, BUT if I could trade a phone for some land, I’d do it every chance I got.

The friend is smart to buy land where he can grow food and be away from the crazy masses of people. Who knows what is coming. Times are uncertain for us all. God bless you and your beautiful Family and Friends.

Dan, You are so kind to provide us in the US with the way you live and enjoy your life in Russia. I wish my Russian was as good as your English! We all appreciate you.

In the US we would call this “rural”, meaning in the countryside instead of in town.

Definitely has some potential. Congratulations to him on his purchase.

Tell your friend. Congratulations! He has a lot of work but he will do great things with it.

This is my kind of place to live! Close enough to a city for supplies but deep in the forest where people aren't going to mess with me. 😊

He has much work to do. It is worth it!!! He is young and will make something of this property. Congratulations!

😂😂😂Great assessment Dan, "this is not a house, this is a problem"!

Your friend has done very good because he has many fruit trees saving many years and experience waiting for trees to grow

Thank you Dan for giving us a glimpse into the Russian Countryside. I did enjoy this video very much and it was very nice that we got to see some of your friends.

Man $5,000 can't get land in the states. He got lucky. Congratulations to your friend.

The country areas (rural areas) are absolutely beautiful, and they have wells on them - huge bonus!

Goats are needed to eat down all the grass and bushes. Looks like a wonderful project and such a beautiful area!!!

Everyone is saying boondocks, sticks, rural, countryside, etc. Round here, we call it "home" 💞

Slang we say. Living out in the boonies

Here we call the edge of town the “ outskirts of town”.

That breadbox is awesome! Don't throw that away!

There are some of us that love to take a dilapidated property and turn into something beautiful. Congrats to your friend! Hello from Chicago1

What a beautiful day! In Australia we'd call that a "Fixer-upper". 🙂 And you'd have to sell a LOT of phones to buy that land.

Quite a lot of territory for so little money! Congratulate your friend for me. I'm glad he's young and has lots of energy! He certainly has a lot of work in front of him! Beautiful piece of land by the way!

Will your friend make a you tube channel on his clearing and fixing up the property? It could help him with money by people watching and donating to him.

Dan, you know a lot about many things. Smart guy.

Sold his phone and bought land 😮…. I would have to sell a LOT more than my phone to buy land ….

suburb I think, He could start a channel showing his renovation at the Dacha.

:-) " It's not a house, it's a problem"

I'm glad you're teaching your daughter to be multilingual

*I don't know what kind of phone he had, but we can NOT purchase land in the United States for the price of a phone!! Land is ALWAYS better than a phone!!! Imho*

It looks all old and abandoned, but there is still an amazon package wrapper in the ruins. Amazing

Dan, I think he needs more friends.

i agree with you Dan. Demolish the house and rebuild from the ground up. Not only will it be more modern utilities, but it will be easier to keep clean.

Yes the word outskirts works for what you’re describing.

Your friend has a lot of work to do! You're a good friend to help him😊

Your friend should start his own RU-vid channel to document his progress on the property! I would watch it 😊👍

Hi DAN, as always thanks for showing your beautiful motherland Russia

I was surprised to see you using a Stihl Chainsaw. That's known as the best chainsaw in the US.

The word you’re looking for “rural”. Your friend lives in a rule area, which is outside of city limits.. In America, we say they live out in the “country” Which is the same as they live in a rural area

I can’t believe how big Sati is. She is so sweet and smart. ❤

Loved your comment on famous people, “All these people served the satan.” 👍

that is a nice property, needs some TLC (tender loving care) i LOVE THE WOODEN BREAD BOX. ii hope you will show us this property again.. I think it will be very interesting to see it again xox best wishes from Nova Scotia, Canada

Salvage what you can from the house and tear it down. Must have been some kind of phone your friend had. Beautiful countryside.

So, a dasha was a summer homestead. But now people live there and homestead full time. I love this! I’m happy for your friend!

I would love to find a simple Russian man like you Dan. My life would be so calm.

I appreciate that you use your turn signals (indicators?) every time, even if no one’s around. It’s just a good habit, I have it, that many people need to learn, especially on the freeways of LA!!! 😅

City, then suburbs, then rural.

I remember your friend Ilya. You climbed the mountain with him. And there was another time when you went outside the city one day -- I think it was in the morning. I don't remember what the purpose of that venture was. I'm not sure, but I think we watched the sun come up that morning. You're a good friend, Dan, and Ilya looks like a good friend, too. You are a blessed man. Ilya has a lot of hard work ahead of him, but when you own the land, it is rewarding. He has some sweet-sounding birds on his land. Sati is camera shy today. Say hi to Susie. P.S. I think "outskirts" was a good choice -- outskirts of town.

Hello from North Carolina, I have been watching you for years when you first started to learn English and I was so proud and so impressed with you. I have watched your family grow and been so happy to see what a good father and mother you both are. You are truly adorable and may God bless you with all that is good for all the days of your life. Give the beautiful baby girl a hug and a kiss on the cheek from me. I hope that one day we get a better president in the United States and all the war will stop I wish for you and your family to visit us here in the United States and it will happen soon because I have faith ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love those old brick buildings!

$10,000-$20,000 an acre around us. For just empty land. Some way more. That’s a lot of phones😊

Maybe get two goats to clear the land & you get milk/cheese etc.. The land looks great, nice & fertile.. good for fruit trees & vegetables. Here in New Zealand it looks very much the same, we'd turn open side shipping containers connected side by side to make a home with glass where the doors were & we'd use ground screws for piles/footings.. rain water/waste tanks & go solar. Here in NZ that piece of land you'd be paying at least $200,000 - 300,000 nz

The little one saying buy buy always makes me smile. She's beautiful.

We call that the "Boondocks."

Your friend has a lot of work ahead of him but at least he can plant some food this year and harvest some fruit👍🏼. He got good deals on the land, they will be worth a lot more eventually. Be safe and well, take care of Mama Suzi , not so long to go now. 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

Dan, I live in the united states.I love you and your family.I think you guys are awesome

That would be a cool video series of you helping him fix up his home ! Like to see what it looks like when it's finished. Great vid and Blessings to you and yours!

Seems like a "Russian dacha" would be what I would call a "gentleman's farm" here in the USA. Outskirts works, as would borderlands, periphery, or rural/outlying districts. Thanks for showing how similar we are rather than our differences. Always enjoy watching, thanks Dan! Looking forward to welcoming your child into the world soon too!

When you leave the city and go to your friends house he lives in the boonies ,or in the sticks words we use in the us 😊

The land has potential ,he must clear it first then build in the best spot ! I like that it is up on a mountain.

This is exactly how it feels in the rural areas of America! Especially in the south with all the woods and dirt roads with shacks everywhere.

In the US, this would be called a Fixer Upper. Good luck, you have a good project ahead of you.

Your English is amazing,you get better everyday.I enjoy all your videos and all your family,thanks for sharing

My husband (at the time) jacked up the house and had build a whole new foundation...the house was very very old and the foundation had been made with river rock and Clay mud... Once he repaired the whole house it was worth it....Because the materials used long ago is better than the material today. He had gutted out the whole house just the framework stood..

That was an amazing video. Thank you for sharing dan you are a great friend and wonderful dad to your beautiful daughter ❤️

Everything is lovely and green there

I've been missing you and your family, I fell and broke my back. I watching this video now. Hug and kiss from my girl an d I to you and yours!

Every video that Stacy and I watch from you makes us want to live there even more! Congratulations to your friend, on the new land and the new dacha. 👏👏👏👏

I would have sold my phone to for property...Long ago my Husband (then) & I accumulated 8 homes that we rented out ..Mind you he was a carpenter and could build remodel & repair...that was long ago...I can't believe what your friend paid for his property... I live way out in the Mtns....a couple of years ago I bought a brick house with 24 acres, well water, springs, Creek and a larger creek/river...I love the cool mountain breezes...As you were talking I was in my garden planting my tomatoes that I started from seed... Sun is setting now orange/rose sky .. I need to put up my chickens....I have a lot of wild animals here....wolves, coyotes, bears, bobcats & MTN Lions (and yes I have seen a mountain Lion...when you have deer too...they follow them.. Always good to see & hear about Russia...I went there in 1997 & adopted my blue eyed blonde baby girl (9 mths old)... Take care my Ruskie friend 😁

That is an awesome buy, win, win, I don't know where you could get that in the US unless it was in the worst place maybe a swamp 😮. Always good seeing you and your family, God bless you all...❤

Who is responsible for tending the roads? I imagine it gets pretty difficult during the winter.

Great video and it looks like your friend needs a lot of help out there, guess you will be busy 😂😂😂 babies, wife and now helping a friend 😂😂😂 All good, makes the world go around. Stay strong, safe and a clean heart. ALL THE BEST…

Your friend is smart to buy land! It is a big project to clean all the land and figure out what kind of dwelling he wants to build but with time, some money and hard work....and friends like you Dan, anything is possible. Congratulations to your friend on his purchase. I hope you will continue to keep us updated on his progress as time goes on. All the best to you, your family and your friends. From Washington State, USA

This what my girl and I do for fun, explore back country roads. Beautiful country!

Outskirts is the word you are looking for. Your friend lives in the outskirts of town. Really is a distance away from town. Out in the country!

Great video Dan. Thanks for showing us your friend's property. It seems he has some great fruit trees on his land. It will be a lot of work, but so worth it. I hope he has many friends and some family who will help him clear his land.

I love this family. ❤ Russian people are beautiful souls and Russia is a magnificent country.

More power to your friend. 🎉

Wish your friend good luck with his Dacha. Where I live we have place's we call camps. Same idea though. A camp is a place to go and relax to get away from the city. Those old books, picture's etc..that you were looking at were interesting. I enjoy looking at thing's from year's ago as well. Nice of you to help out your friend. Enjoyed watching and I hope Suzi and beautiful angel Sati are both doing well!🙏❤

He's going to need more friends😇

Very impressive young men! Hard work to build your future and security. I wish more people would be more responsible like you guys. I am Polish born living in Canada. My parents taught us to always work hard for what you want. Nazdrowe!! ❤✌️🇵🇱🇨🇦

Very good video 😊 Will be interesting to watch his progress. I, too, advise him to tear it down and start again. Very good deal for him. I just hope the man who got the phone was really the owner.

Outskirts describes the outer edge of a city or town, farthest from the center but still technically part of that place.

He lives on the outskirts of town. 😊 its good to teach Sati English at a young age. It's easier and help her in the future. Hugs ❤ 🤗

Love to you Dan and family ❤

"boonies" "BFE" "In the sticks"

Yes, a slang phrase for far away from the city, is "in the boonies".. or "out in the country" or "middle of nowhere".

so good to see Ilya back on the channel Dan! great to see you guys together again!

Same latitude as Georgia and plenty of land. Grow grapes; make wine!

The word is outskirts, or semi-rural. Dan, I hope you can show us your friend's progress as he improves his property. He could use bricks from the old homes to build a new one. 🙂

Thank you, Dan, my friend, for showing us the dacha that your friend bought! Much love and blessings to you and your family!✝️🙏❤️ God bless you, Dan, your lovely wife and babies in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ!✝️🙏❤️

The sounds of the birds are just beautiful!!❤😂

What a great pc of land He already has water And good soil Still has his youth Perfect start to a homestead Congratulations

That place looks awesome.Close to town and rural at the same time.

I’m sorry all I can think is what a bloody mess. If you guys can sort that out, you are magicians!

9:19 'it's not a house, it's a problem' 🤣 Yes, I 100% agree

Congratulations to your friend👏 what a price, that's so unheard of in the states 😅 absolutely love your awakness in regards to the magazines.... such evil has surrounded us!😡 blessings and love from Cali 💜👋

Sweet baby girl❤❤❤❤

Opposite of downtown is the countryside.

Bought my fixer upper in the countryside in 2001 dirt cheap. It's worth a load of cash now. Fixer upper. I pay taxes once a year. The rest is free99. God Ain't making no more land. Great video.

Nice place to start a homestead! Grow his own food, a garden and animals. Best of luck to him! It’s a lot of hard work but very rewarding in the end.
