3 Day Off-Road Wilderness Camping In The Tank

Two most memorable things about camping are the problems you have to solve and the FOOD!

[@chrisosh9574]

The Birch back pack was amazing. So glad to see you encouraging your kids to learn how to use tools, sharp or otherwise, half the people I know in the UK would be having heart attacks at the sight, I feel sorry for them.By the time I was seven we were making fires in the woods and cooking potatoes on them.

[@sadlife8495]

thank god I had Boyscouts, otherwise I would not have been given the chance to work with my hands outdoors

[@philfoster4298]

@@sadlife8495 It’s so sad. We learned the most when adults weren’t around. When I was twelve my parents started taking myself and some friends up into the mountains and leave us by a stream for the weekend. We had sleeping bags, some plastic tarps, food, and our fishing tackle. We’d go up Friday after school and the last word from an adult was “ We will see you around dark on Sunday, don’t do anything stupid”.

[@paulbanks223]

Looked pretty well made and was obviously durable, it is what I like about practical, the ability to improvise. Now its more a case of ''Oh my phone is broken what am I going to do'', improvising is going on FB and telling everybody.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

An absolutely beautiful and typical Spring camping trip...breakdowns, rain, injuries and all. Good to see the children out in the woods, playing with axes and knives. Thank-you Lars for a great video (I hope your hand heals quickly).

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you! I busted the blister yesterday. All is good :)

[@24roughing76]

That blister is, of course, not so good. I felt the pain when you showed your hand. I appreciate a channel that shows when things go wrong. Proves it's genuine. Keep up the good work 💪

Best dad ever. Awesome that dads and kids get out on proper adventures. Yes to the max for letting the blue ninja use an axe.

[@Linnie1021]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful camping trip. This brought back so many memories. When I was much younger, I was an Army wife and we lived in Alaska. We could hardly wait for spring so we could go camping and fishing... fun times! 💜

[@passerby9123]

Hi Lars, I guess you explained to the troops that fresh wet pine burns very well if you have a big hot fire made from old dry pine to burn it on. Loved the spoon. Give the Ninja some sandpaper and she will make that into a family heirloom.

[@kramsdrawde8159]

After many years I have discovered that problems between governments are the the problem of how we view other nations and their people ... as an American I can tell you that if I were with you on that trip we would have had a great time together. You seem to be someone I could have been friends with, I love what you are doing and it's great you take your little boy he seems to love it. Also good to see the beauty of the Russian forest.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I agree :)

[@SgfGustafsson]

24:03 Birch bark does not really decay, in Sweden it is often used as the base layers of traditional grass roofs and between the logs of a cabin and its foundation. I have never seen birch bark used like this in a poor condition, even on several hundred year old buildings.

[@liquicrum]

Ah man, you're hand, it's blistered and burned. That blister is something else man, take care. I once drove an ATX through the jungle in Mexico with no power steering, after a few hours the whole middle of my palm blistered and came off. It made doing everything on the rest of the trip less than awesome. Also, I appreciate your magnanimity concerning your guests foibles in the woods. I like your easy way with people, my dad was always a nightmare when things went wrong. In another few years of tank camping you might have fostered a gator crew worth their salt, in the mean time uncle Lars takes care of all, even with one hand. The Pink Ninja's spoon is awesome. I bet she's already talking about driving the tank soon.

[@MichaelR58]

Lars , that was quite an adventure , so cool to see the ninjas having fun with dad and uncles , thanks for sharing and bringing us along , I hope you are feeling better my friend, God bless !

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you Michael. It was a good trip :)

[@erintobler7254]

As a blacksmith, I am suuuuuuper excited to see Lars forge! I've been wondering about that anvil he and the old timer found since I saw it.

[@robertsimmons1264]

The best thing for burns is to put prepared yellow mustard on it immediately. Like French's. Takes away the pain, and helps prevent blistering.

[@briansweeney2291]

Cool to know this

[@Anvilshock]

Thanks!

[@FISHLIPS62]

Lars I can’t believe how much your son has grown. I remember when he turned up!! And as for your daughter. It won’t be long before she has a job. Time definitely doesn’t stand still. Be safe. And keep doing what you do. Thanks

[@andreasweber5638]

I appreciate the small footprint you leave behind gone camping. Smart move, leaving no traces etc.

[@bobcostas6272]

I must say, going through your older videos, you look YOUNGER today than you did years ago. Im fully convinced its your connection to nature that caused it 😀

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :)

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Lots of reality survival in this one: extemporizing solutions to a broken knife, a shot vehicle starter, navigation of flooded roads: AMAZING!

[@lndriver]

This is one of the few channels on yt where I first click like and then watch a video :)

[@alfadoofus]

That was a nice spoon the pink ninja made . nice to see the blue ninja starting early with the axe . Nice to see Mrs. Survival Russia getting a small vacation , I bet she missed her babies right away . great video .

[@niamhneevekinsella7951]

I think the newbies will learn a lot from you. You are always well equipped and find a way around problems. The spoon is lovely, your children are blessed to have these experiences outdoors. That blister looks nasty. I love the tarp.

[@georgemcmillan9172]

Lars, I have always found that camping, at least for me, is good for the soul. Camping with other people however, someone always forgets something. Sometimes it may be as simple as a frying pan or two, or as crucial as a tent but it is generaly inevitable. Even though there may have been peices of the starter sprocket in the bell housing, they would most likely have been too small to affect anything if you bump started the S.R.V. and drove it home. Your children are blessed to have one of the coolest dads ever! Hiw many dads can take his family camping in a tank?! SUPAH SUPAH AWESOME!!!

[@happinessis2111]

So what's a camping trip without a few unexpected surprises? I grew up in near Mackinaw Michigan and camped a lot in the Upper Peninsula. The climate is very similar I really miss the pine and birch trees but not the misquotes! Thanks Lar for the ride along! I hope you have gotten your burn taken care of. Those hurt! Do you use a special salve to speed up healing?

[@taofledermaus]

Still a very enjoyable adventure, even with the SRV breaking down.

[@ulriklange3924]

But they needed a shotgun 😉 ... Great stuff from you guys also. 💪

[@MrArray1967]

Blacksmith forging a sprocket for the starter of the Survival Russia Vehicle (SRV) amazing 😂😅 The Survival spoon is great, and I'm sure the one who eats with it will enjoy the food and get full.

[@saltyapostle44]

American dad to his son, "Are you going to sit around and play video games all day?" Russian dad to his son, "Go outside and play with the ax I made you." Guess which one will probably turn out better in the end.

[@MarksTech]

The American son will probably grow up and pay a handyman 200 dollars to change out a lightbulb. And that Russian kid will grow up to be that handyman lol

[@dshedder1]

Don't write him off yet ,Dad. My daughter did nothing but talk and play video games when she was young and now she makes more than me ,owns her own home and car. Just keep talk about being responsible to him and it'll eventually sink in.

[@da___man]

Average life span for a Russian male is 65.1 years (though it is 76.5 for Russian females.) Average life span for an American male is 78.5 years. Russian Dad needs to tell his son to not smoke and drink in moderation as those are the main reason why the life expectancy in Russia for men is so low.

[@andreisimion247]

Not to mention the offchance the kid might grow up to be an axe-murderer , probably a Republican too .

[@harrymills2770]

Lars isn't Russian. He's supposedly Scandinavian, but he looks Eastern European. His wife is Russian, I think. What I need to delve into is the bug situation. You see him all geared-up with mosquito netting and suffering from the heat in the summer, while his wife and kids are out there in shorts and t-shirts, like there aren't any bugs around. Weird. I don't know if he's messing with me, or not, but he's mentioned their apparent immunity to the bugs. That's the thing about those wide, beautiful spaces in Alaska. When it's not cold, there are mosquitoes big as your fist determined to exsanguinate all mammalian life forms, especially humans.

[@AquaTech225]

Man it’s been quite the while I got to enjoy a Lars video. Life happened but always enjoy the adventure. I got alota videos to watch now. Man your kids is growing like wild fire.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :)

[@Hollylivengood]

LOVED this. The knife thing was cool. I used to drive a bus with this old man who grew up in the Philippines during the Japanese war as he termed it. He said they used to make knives like that with bits of downed planes. Even the kids, it was the thing to do to be cool, you know, to make a knife with your dad and go hunting for Japanese. For real, like at eight years old...And yes, I asked him...and he talked about the coffee in the break room...anyway he was a nice guy and they were defending themselves. Your family is beautiful and bad ass at the same time. I think the pink ninja's spoon looked great.

[@liquicrum]

In the Philippines they now make guns in their back yards from scrap metal, continuing the tradition apparently.

[@josephlwallssr6166]

Lars It would be great if you could adopt me. I'm only 64 yrs old, a growing boy! This is Clovis from Louisiana, USA. I will pay for the plane and train to get there! I will be happy to sleep in the barn! The wife and I love your channel. We surely wish our governments would just get along also! We are so very similar in many ways. You should put little ninja's spoon in a great place it will be a great memory one day.

You give that old tank a good service and check over, you don't want to be out there next time and trying to tow it back home with the RV :)))). It is all the fun of camping, things go wrong but as long as you live to talk about it then its all good :). I have had a burn or two in my time and the odd hammered thumb etc, but you got one hell of a blister there. Remember a country boy learns nothing the second time he gets kicked by a horse, so no more hugging hot exhausts ; ).

[@ordnaelshideout]
