Living Alone in the Wild Forest for 20 Years. Part 4: How Samuil gets food, water & shower

For over 20 years, Samuil has been living alone in the Siberian forest. He's chosen this harsh environment because he lost his family when he was young. Now, accompanied only by his faithful dogs, he faces the challenges of this isolated life. In this episode, you'll get a glimpse into his world as winter draws near...

Last time I donated to buy a new window for Samuil and I see that you have delivered as promised. This time, I am donating for a TV because I think, with the available electricity now, he would enjoy it so much. Thanks for keeping him under supervision in these remote and harsh conditions! God bless! 😇

[@dio8636]

How do you donate to Samuil specifically? I would love to help him out with some stuff as well. I don't have much but I know even a couple of bucks can go a long way, especially if more people donate

[@mp_petrov]

@@dio8636 I am just donating to this channel and hopefully money go to a good cause. Last time we got what we asked for. No reason to suspect anything at this point.

[@PhuongNguyen-mc3yv]

If he has wi fi, a laptop is better for him

[@everythingsalright1121]

I feel like something to help his food security would be better. Like snowshoes or a tent to block the wind when he goes fishing

[@mike-8226]

Just outta pure curiousity, I know this question may seem outlandish but I gotta ask. Would be in any way possible to install a electrical inverter and UP the voltage just so that he can have a Electrical Ceramic Heater plugged in. I know electrical heaters draw quite a lot of voltage but it sure would be nice to have in case of a backup heat source if he runs out of firewood.

Please try to fulfil his dream of having a TV or anything else he might need. A tiny Christmas / new year gift from 2 Bangladeshis. ❤️❤️❤️

[@KiunB]

thank you 🙏🏻

[@mountainwest3444]

URGENT SUGGESTION for Samuil: The community could offer to build him a small adjacent shed, with a snowmobile inside and a small wood heater in the corner. On days when he has to go to village to pick up supplies, he only has to start up the wood heater, and an hour later he can start up and ride the snowmobile (with small sled trailer) to the village and back in much shorter time, and supplies to last for at least a month or more.

[@snowbell27]

I think a snow mobile or an easy mode of snow transport would be beneficial for him so he doesn't have to trudge through snow back and forth.

[@JACKAL98]

Definitely

[@moinkhan-vb2ks]

But on the way towards the village, only samuil ice cream reaches the village 😂😂

[@nandarani975]

Technology is good but if it damages, how he will repzir

[@scottsullivan234]

​@@nandarani975 - a simple Russian snowmobile with the most common spare parts and essential tools. It should last him many years. The problem is, how will he pay for the gas? I am sure there is some sort of welfare system. Does he even know that he is eligible?

Fantastic to see Samuil again, and that you and the team are checking on him and he is doing well. Of course there are many other people, young and old, forgotten in this world. I think Samuil represents them all a little bit here - maybe not on purpose or by choice, but he does. So even though this is just one person, on the other side of the planet to me, and I dont know him - it is still heartwarming to know that his life is going a little easier in this past year.

He should have both. Continue living in nature and serenity. But also some modern conveniences and contact with people and help. There should be a way to have both.

[@nancygs4555]

I agree, aren’t there Siberian tigers in his area?

[@paulohagan3309]

Yes, he is getting on a bit. I wish he'd consider moving, not into the village if he doesn't want but maybe a kilometer or two outside. That way, he can still be in the wilderness to an extent but people can get to him if he has an emergency. But maybe he's too set in his ways and of course, that has to be respected. But at least the film crew could discuss it with him? And I have to say him trying to fish in the icy cold and the ground looking very unsteady over that damned bog was concerning ...

[@Kiki-Kauai]

What a rarity in this world. The way he lives in that beautiful forest and to have had angels literally drop on his doorstep in the humanity of you and your team. What an incredible gift to be able to learn about others who are many thousands of miles from me. The windows and solar panels were literally life changing for him. I think many of us would buy him a tv but the reality is, would it even work so far from anything? I suppose it could be used with dvd’s and a player and he could watch movies. But the biggest gift he’s received, is the gift of friendship you shown and letting him know how many lives he’s touched. Beautifully told, filmed and edited. Thank you. You’ve touched the heart of someone on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.
