My great grandfather was in one of the Gulags in Siberia, interned for allegedly working for the germans, he managed to survive by eating small portions, when food arrive at the camps, supposedly many men ate large and their stomachs tore after long periods of starvation (stomach shrinking). He made it back in the end and died age 96 this year. Was a great man, fascinating to see where he might have stayed

[@markbecker71]

The executed all the p.o.w there..sadly

[@eimantasm252]

@@markbecker71 He made it back alright,not sure if counts as pow, but he was exiled. When he came back his entire family had emigrated to America.. but yeah must have been different camp then

[@alvar891]

My great great grandpa and grandfather were also sent there because they had a bigger farm. My grandpa was 12 when he was taken there and great great grandpa was 78. Tough old man. Both came back and grandpa was sent for the russian navy for 4 years shortly after getting back also. The old man was 90 when he died but he died home atleast after getting his house back. Rough times us snowflakes would not survive lol.

All people can learn something from Lars and his family and community.

[@trueaussieray9093]

I watch Lars because he enjoys the same activities as what I do with my family here in Australia! (Bar the tank) and it's great to see how it's done under extreme conditions in other countries!

[@AnHonestDoubter]

10:35 Less legitimate outdoorsmen KZbinrs would have made finding that old knife into a 2-part, 80 minute documentary with its own soundtrack. For Lars, "cool!" and proceeds with his adventure. ❤

[@bboomer7th]

Regarding cool drinking water: when I was a kid, one of my Uncles showed me a water container that came from one of his Uncles’ farm. It was a tightly woven flax fibre bag with a wire closure. The weave was so tight it was almost waterproof. But it did wick moisture, and that cooled the contents. I now know it as evaporative cooling. This was in Southern Manitoba on a generational Mennonite farm.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I read somewhere that the hairy wizard, Obama bin Liner said drinking cool water was a sin. Easy for a millionaire playboy to say.

[@ClockCutter]

"Don't do that until you've tried it a couple of times." If you survived, you're good to go. That's certainly a philosophy of mine.

[@taofledermaus]

Very cool trip. I do not envy all the bugs though!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Fair enough!

[@mcoppock214]

That tunnel would make a great winter shelter with some summer preparation work.

[@semco72057]

That area is grown up, but still looks nice and the mosquitoes are keeping you company while there. You all must be glad to see Winter come so you can get relief from them and be able to do your work outside your home.

Always learn something new watching you go out on an adventure. I have to admit I worry you will get injured when you are alone. Please be safe . Love your beautiful wife and ninjas 💜

[@tonysmith5924]

Just got home from a yurt camping trip, me, wife, and our three grandsons! Used campfire and a twig stove for heating water for mountain house meals along with fruit and snacks, two nights! Great fun! In two weeks we will do it again with the granddaughters, special times in life!

[@morophineswordphich8229]

I see your co-host biting fly was eager to make many cameos! Also, you should send that pocket knife to Hand Tool Rescue, it would make for quite the show.. or that Italian gun who restores basket-case guns.

Awesome trip exploring never gets old there's always something to find and do. Thanks again Lars

[@SurvivalRussia]

Couldn't agree more!

[@fernandoi3389]

You need to make a map of all tunnels in gulag. That will give you an idea of the camp layout and places to look with the metal detector. Maybe you can find a place where they dumped stuff outside camp perimeter.

[@guillermodelnoche]

Anchovies covered in chocolate…. That made me laugh. I love your sense of humour!

[@dimidomo7946]

That's imposing; that's impressive; that's breathtaking; that's astonishing; that's fearsome; that's alarming...on and on and on...change it up man.

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Funky awesome video once again. Thanks for sharing.

[@Zicora]

It'd be really cool to see a video of your Silky Saw collection and their use.

[@mongomay1]

Soak pocket knife in vinegar to remove rust, might take several days. Propeller or turbine blade. Save angle iron for projects. All those trees in gulag aea area not old, it was probably cleared flat for many kilometers so there were no places to hide. Those foundation piers looked like they supported a lot of weight for large building. It looks more like everything was bulldozed and leveled. Burn what was on top, cheaper that blowing it up. I do not think they recycled the building materials that far out. Some of those underground tanks could have been for waste systems (septic), not root cellars.

[@darrenwallingford7560]

nice trip , makes your head spin thinking about what happend there . i like your tent

[@peerx7866]

Mosquito's: dilute trea tree oil 1:10 with ethanol. Highly recommended as DEET is carcinogenic. This mixture will keep any bugs, flees, ticks and wsh away.

There is a proverb that says; whoever seeks finds. Surely next time you will find many beautiful objects. Very beautiful video. Hello, good day👍👋

My dad read me that a few years ago as a spiritual quote. It works great in a literal sense too, dad didn't think it should be used like that. Works for me, a Clint Eastwood quote, dad probably hasn't seen Dirty Harry. Lol

[@leenvisser4649]

The pocket knife is a pretty cool find. It will be interesting to see if there's a date stamp on it somewhere. Might help determine if it's from the Young Pioneer camp, or more recently from the loggers.

[@Jemmees]

First comment ever on YT only because of the beer he is drinking Pilsner Urquell (the beer used to be much better 5-10 years ago) and also very cool trip. Thank you very much for all videos. Wish you the best.

[@Disciple_Of_Lerxst]

Have you ever tried to find pictures of the gulag before it's dismantling, or do any of the old timers in the area have any pictures? Also, are you becoming legendary in the area for your KZbin channel and your adventures throughout the year? Great work as usual.

[@passerby9123]

Lars, where i live, the large biting fly in your video is called a Bremsen, and the one you showed was a female. The males are a different shape and they are vegetarians, feeding on flower pollen, so when you do get the chance to squash one of the carnivores who would suck your blood and raise a large welt on your skin, just remember that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, or even a woman who has to gnaw at you sometimes just to ensure the health and survival of her young. Now, let me get some "go away pain" cream on the stich gained from a local female horse fly a few days ago.
