You´re right, it shows it isn´t about "having everything" but more likely about overcoming obstacles.

Everything about this video touched me deeply and profoundly. Samuil - there should be a feature film on this man, his life, his story, his log cabin, his beloved dogs, his music, his diet, his recipes... i lived a life on a farm with no running water and no electricity for 9 years. I foraged the forest for firewood, grew our own food, played our drums and made our own music at full moon - it was hard but it was magical. But to do this in the far end of the Siberian tundra amongst wolves and bears deserves nothing but respect and i am in awe of this lone human. Long live Samuil! Please may we have an update on Samuil. The poet and romantic in me also wants to know his birthday, his life story, his hopes and dreams, details of the tragedy that brought him to this state of solitude and what keeps him going. What's his favourite meal, what's his favourite dessert? What treats does he buy himself from the village? Whats the name of his three dogs?

Amazing person. I came across the guy once while walking around Lake Baikal in 2013. Anatoliy was his name and I have spent a night in his house, similar to the one in the video. Anatoliy lives in the most remote part of the lakeshore, it took me around 2 months to reach that place. At that point, he lived there for 52 years already, rarely meeting with other people, unless a boat with tourists came around. Anatoliy has frostbites on all his fingers which are almost completely gone. The area contains one of the biggest populations of brown bears and every night they come around the house, not to damage or look for food. I think they just come to wind him up as he is a part of nature there. There were claw marks all over the house but no damage. At night there was a lot of growling around. Very simple person and very friendly. He told me the story about himself and how he ended up there. As a young man (20 YO) he was already an alcoholic and during the winter in Listvianka, he and his mate went drunk outside. His friend died that night frozen to death and Anatoliy was found almost frozen, lost all his fingers and almost his arm. He decided to leave the world of people and move to the wild, where he remains until today I hope. I was given very useful tips on how to predict the rain according to how ants behave, how to avoid bears, and what to forage. Also warned me of the poachers which I encountered later during my trip. I would love to go back there and learn more from him. Such a simple yet very wise person.

His song brought tears to my eyes. He most have loved his mother, and vice versa. He represents the solitude in each and every one of us. Life in the forest doesn’t seem too bad. As he grows older, he will need more insulation for his house, but now, the hard work is what keeps him fit. His door needs better insulation, maybe if he double layered the cellophane it would be better insulation. (But would fog sometimes).

This as a russian bedtime-story. A long time ago, a Russian child lived in poverty with his family. His entire family died and he moved to the forest to live in isolation. He had to chop wood every day to keep warm. His only friends were dogs with whom he shared his food and warmth, sang songs and waited for summer. He patiently awaited the day when he would die and see his family again. The end. Kinda feels bitter sweet. Strange how it feels like we all have more stuff but so little from life.
