Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on KZbin, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too.
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!

I wonder how many that watch this think: This is not a survival situation. I have watched many other survival channels and I know that if you aren't chopping down full size trees to build a wikiup. And you are not batoning two cords of firewood with a full tang survivor knife (that weighs at least two pounds and have a firesteel on its kydex sheath) , it's just winter camping!

[@taunokekkonen5733]

My thoughts exactly! Goint to the woods with a 1% chance of getting stranded and bringing only an altoid can is stupidity. Taking a sled full of gear is survival.

[@radiotests]

@@taunokekkonen5733 You Europeans are missing the point. We did not make our way across this NA Continent packing an expedition sled and all that crap. It was what you could comfortably carry on your back. If you get all sweated out hauling tons of gear you will freeze. Even today, if you hunt in the middle of Alaska your max loadout is 50lbs plus a rifle. Your max total is 230lbs body weight and gear. It's called economy of energy and smart planning. Everything else is CAMPING, not survival.

Wool wicks the sweat off your body and polyester absorbs the moisture, that is why you dried quickly from sweat. When I would camp in Rocky Mountain winter I learned to keep the feet dry with multiple wool and cotton sox to keep feet warm and dry wool knit hat. I would sleep in just undies and sox and wool hat. wrap up in wool blanket inside my sleeping bag. Dry feet and warm head.

“just bring a goddamn sleeping mat” LOL i love you lars!

[@huntarama9375]

when I first saw the boots I thought you were a refugee from the 1970,s hippy commune. I have found that if you are sleeping in your clothes then a zipped up sleeping bag is a bit of a waste especially if you are not a small person because the bag looses its loft. So you need to take some clothes off or use your bag like a quilt as you have done. I watch a video on the conquering of mount Everest and was interested to see at the very highest camp they slept in their clothes and used a ground pad and their sleeping bags as a quilt. Obviously no fire or heating of any kind. The actually managed to get some sleep although the attempt nearly come undone because hiliary took his boots off to sleep and they froze solid. Down to a certain temperature its foolish to sleep in your clothes but after that you are foolish not to.

[@SurvivalRussia]

That sounds very interesting :)

[@stevenross-watt8640]

They have the issue that the thin oxygen means your blood carries less heat I believe. So you have less internal fire and heating. Scary stuff up so high.
