Russian mosquitos were trained as ground attack micro-aircraft by Sukhoi. As the traditional proverb of Anyland goes: Anyone who has ever felt they were too small to have any effect in the world has never tried to sleep in a tent at night with a single mosquito. Thanks Lars, you are one stoic guy to film all this!

[@SkyOctopus1]

If you've got a tick and need to remove it, one option is to make a little v-shaped nick in a credit card and slide it down your skin to dislodge the little blighter. Better than pulling them that way you risk causing them to vomit into you or leave their mouth-parts still attached.

[@jjdogbutte]

That’s a brilliant idea! Thanks!

[@Schmidt54]

I think I saw that some shops sell "tick cards" which do exactly what you described! Ticks are so scary because of the bad diseases... no fun :(

[@user-lw6of1pl2g]

Yep, great tip. Hate ticks. Have had a couple of blood tests for Lymes. Always worth checking yourself for them.

@@cookiemonster-tx2qe Feels like ages ago, but when I was in my 30s, my doc asked if I would consider taking a daily Aspirin. I don't have any health issues but I agreed to give it a try and never looked back. He started going through the list of benefits, like thinning the blood, freeing up the air flow, especially when doing some kind of physical work, helps against stroke, heart attacks, has shown some anti-cancer benefits, etc... and the list went on. He said most ppl don't have any side effects, but there are all these potential benefits. I think it was great advice.

[@toolmakerbest1584]

In 1967 at 12 yrs old, and just starting in the Boy Scouts, we would go on polar camp outs, (deep snow) I used a length of clothes line with a weight to throw up into the pines and pull down all the dry/dead tinder needed to make a fire. To this day, while hunting, I am never without it! Glad you are feeling well again! 👍👍

Hi Lars Been a watcher of your channel for a while now. I like it...and I like your attitude. I just wanted to make a suggestion. Personally I am interested (and I think some other people would be too) to see how you grow food and prepare food in your environment, especially because the winters are so cold. You could try a video or two and see how people like it and if they do the potential is really big.... All the best to you and your nice family

[@Comrade_Tokoloshe]

Tip for bread. If you like the consistency that yeast gives bread but don't have the time for all that fiddle use some yoghurt in the dough. Flour, baking powder, salt like Lars says, and then some yoghurt instead of water. Comes out like sourdough bread.

[@insanesoninlaw]

I made the 3-2-1- bannock for my breakfast today. I mixed-in fennel-seeds with the dough and ate it with some shakshuka. Life-changer dude!

[@mongomay1]

We would call it fried biscuit dough. Popular is adding garlic (minced cloves) and cheese gratings (about a cup) to mix, then let it proof (rise). Proofing is allowing the gas bubbles to create in dough that makes it more tender. That is why you are told when learning not to work (knead) dough too much. If you run out of baking powder use beer let it rise about 10-20 minutes.

I see your notification every time, but don't always click the link from my "notifications" tab. it shows up on my feed, too, so I usually click on it from main YT page instead. I bet many others do the same, but it won't register as the source being notifications

It’s funny I just saw one of your recently made videos (Jan 2023) where you are walking out of the woods in snow as it’s getting dark. Kept the saplings on your left til you saw the lines then the road and home. Just like this walk in but backwards. How cool. 👍jeff

In Wisconsin, we spray pants bottoms and shoes always. If walking in woods, spray pants up by waist as well as clothes. Bare skin we use natural repellent, deet on clothes. I've had Lyme disease three times. Twice from ticks and once from HORSEFLY BITE. My doctor also got Lyme from a deerfly bite!!! DON'T SCREW AROUND, Lyme is a very serious and potentially life-threatening illness!!! PS Thanks , Lars, for the ash tip!

[@ronwatson3654]

Lars, your videos are always awesome! The Silky saw manufacturer should be a supporter of your channel. I bought a Silky BigBoy a couple years ago after seeing you use one and it still works great. My buddy used it while quartering an elk and I thought cutting bone would dull the blade but it was still sharp. Thanks for the great videos and keep them coming!

[@insanesoninlaw]

I bought a big boy for work as a land surveyor and it has been a much better and safer tool than an axe which is the normal tool of choice by other people in my trade. I have won a few people over to Silky saws after showing them their efficiency in action haha

I got 237 mosquito bites just by watching Lars walk through the swamp. Being separated by a video gap never stops a hungry mosquito. Unfortunately. I also noticed that Lars is carrying a pistol for a sidearm. That's great. I wasn't sure what the laws were in Russia about carrying a pistol (or private ownership of pistols). I do like the semi-auto shotgun Lars occasionally carries.

Yeah ever since my left leg was paralyzed I always wear wool socks too. They're surprisingly comfortable and as long as it's not +30 C not overly warm. They also dry out really fast which is important for me when wearing one with an orthotic. If its too warm I just wear a mesh shoe instead. All I really know for sure is that at the end of the day the cotton sock is damp with my orthodic and with wool it is not.

6:52 my Dad always said that ticks climb up your body and go for the neck and eyes etc. But I think that just because animals always have ticks around their neck doesn't mean that's where they always go. It means that's the only place a animal like a dog or a ferret can't chew them off.

As a hunter education instructor [i.e. hunter safety instructor] and a person who has been lost in the woods three times, I second his advice on sit down and do nothing as soon as you realize you are lost. They want me to tell my students not to panic. I'm sorry but it is natural to panic. The problem arises when people act during that panic stage. They make poor decisions that make matters worse. It takes about 15 to 30 minutes to get over the panic. Then you can think clearly. Most people then get themselves out of the situation because they can think through it.
