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!

he's in the middle of nowhere. if some stranger shows up in town they will know. not to mention that he's armed to the teeth. why would anyone want to hurt his child anyway? i know people can be horrible but i don't see any issue with mentioning his kid's school in this context. i'm sure there is only one school for the village so you could easily figure it out anyway.

@America First Not disagreeing with that and MAYBE part of the problem is many young gulf war vets are returning home and putting on a different uniform but bringing some potential PTSD type problems to the job with them. I am not bad mouthing our distinguished vets but I can see where some of them have brought back a certain attitude that doesn't necessarily distinguish well between between combat patrolling and urban policing and then of course there are just plain pricks out there with no military ties that are badge heavy, control freaks. There are also really good guys that just plain get tired of the same old bullshit from repeat offenders and little in the way of proper justice. There needs to be #1-better screening of applicants with follow up maybe every two years and more time off or duty rotation to get the guys out of the grind/routine etc. As far as following orders let's face it how many are going to walk off a job because they don't agree with what they're told to do?

[@RobertsBulgaria]

Nice. You need to live in Russia for at least 10 years before one even begins to understand the place and you won't achieve that in the cocoon of a city like Moscow. Village life is completely different when well outside of a large city, there is good and bad as everywhere else, but I witnessed a lot of alcoholism mainly due to men having no real jobs after the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, folk just get on with it and try to find away to put food on the table and keep themselves warm during the long winters. Yes, I have fallen for that old trick - 'Это не далеко' (it is not far) and an hour or so later, reach the destination. In the end I would ask, how many kilometres and when I got an answer, I would then ask, 'are those European Kilometres or Russian kilometres'. It is like the Norwegian Army would say, 'We're going skiing today, it is only 5 miles''. Then, we would find out that one Norwegian mile equates to 12 of ours so, 60 miles when you're expecting 5 is hard going. The Blue Ninja likes to Bla Bla Bla too only louder than his Dad. LOL.

[@gregsummers7350]

Well done Lars, living in your new home community. The cable tripod is a very good field expedient, that should prove stable in harsh weather. Your are correct, regardless of how much research and reading you do about your new target country, there are social surprises. Your wife is well educated and a good guide through the social and government administrative mazes. Often, many surprises. Very heartening to see you greet the locals as good friends: the outsider must make all the effort. Question. Social interaction - what community social events are there. [Here in our little rural Thai village our social events are weddings, funerals and Buddhist Temple giving day - party time, community cooking & concert. Neighbours do not visit for meals because of the return social obligation.] Great to see the Pink & Blue ninjas about with their guard dog. Regards to all in the SR Team from Greg in Thailand

Awesome video Lars, nice to see the daily life there. Well, in Russia distance is relative I've noticed the times I was there. Upon asking how far our travel would be, they answered; "oh not far it is close". End of the day I traveled like 6 hours, 3 hours to destination and 3 hours back.

[@RusZugunder]

Yeah, 3 hours drive in Russia is "just" a drive within same oblast/republic, while say in europe you can drive across some countries in 3 hours.

[@RusZugunder]

@Michael Smith True, US is pretty big too. Plus they have a bunch of major cities on both ends of the country, so those multiple day trips are somewhat common. While in Russia we mostly travel within western part of the country, which can take some time but not as much.

[@kevins1114]

The village you showed us isn't really much different from small towns here in America. The little town I live near has no bars, shopping malls, or fast-food places, either. Not that we need them. You mentioned your adventures in learning to speak Russian. I went through a similar struggle to learn English. I can spell English words far more easily than I can say them. But, the real silliness begins when my friends try to learn German from me. Some words in one language just do not translate well (or at all) to the other. Other times, they hear what they want, no matter how goofy it may sound. One example: If I say "bitte", some hear it as "beater" or something else just as silly. Never mind the long, complex words...

This is 'Survival Russia', and you show us, share with us what ever the heck you want mate. Thats actually why is support you on Patreon. You come across as a genuine fellow thats doing what he must to survive and sharing your experiences as you go. It is very muchly appreciated :). I actually threw out my television about 4 years ago, and ditched facebook because of all the crap on the Main Stream Media (msm). With KZbin (yt), i can get the 'news' from the source country, and believeme when i say that very little is as they (msm) portray it. So yeah, being 'Down Under' as summer is starting up, 35c plus on average, it is nice to see some snow and frost on the ground to help take the heat out of the day. lol. Anyway, enough ranting from me. I look forward to your 'tra la la la-ing'. It is entertaining mate. Helps give us an insight into whom you are as a person. So thank you for sharing, and PLEASE, do not sell/trade the SRV!. Great video, Hooroo from Australia. Peace!

[@semco72057]

I liked the look of the area where you live and you all do live in a really small area and the repair you are making to your electric line is something done by the electric companies here. The one in my area provides the poles, and put up the lines for you to your house, but some companies charge extra for putting up the lines and you have to find a contractor to put up the poles first. Some of the metal in the ground there may have been there since World War II when the German and Russian military was fighting in many areas. You do stay busy each day and I know that you all collect scrap metal to survive there like some do here in this country. When I was growing up and living with my grandparents we had it tough and we learned how to live off the land. My grandfather use to hunt for deer and fish for catfish, and other fish and our local game warden helped us out also by giving us fish and processed deer meat he took from those hunting without a hunting license. I hope that you all have a nice weekend and a great new week.

I mean, not so many exceptions to the grammar rules and so, IMHO. In some ways, I actually liked that.

Unless the batteries go dead, I always know exactly where I've been, where I am, and where my vehicle is.

Just Started Watching Your Channel And I Find It Interesting To Learn About A German (I Think You Are) Living In The Russian Countryside! Outstanding! I Have Family Living In Moscow And That's Why I Was Interested In How You Survive The Cold Ass Temperature! You Rock My Friend!

Hope you can start using game cameras to catch the wolves and bears, but not for hunting. That'd be cool.

What an interesting channel. Here in Europe we know NOTHING about the REAL Russia and the REAL Russians. Our politicians constantly fight and argue but WE don't think the way that politicians do. We want to be friends with Russia and the Russians and learn a lot more about them. It looks like a wild and beautiful country and the Russians must be tough and resourceful people to live there. Thank you for bringing some of your Russian life to us. Peace and Friendship from the UK.

After watching several other of your videos I have got say; It looks like you did more than just move out of the city... From an American suburban (city) perspective, it looks like you moved out of this century, and back about 150 years! I grew up in the woods some 50 odd years ago. We had some abandoned, and collapsing log cabins in the woods, and a big scrap pile from at least the late 1800 to early 1900's also hiding in the woods. Now of course it has been over run by big city sprawl and expansion. Most of the forests and farm fields are now gone... Everything is concrete and modern...I miss the woods.. I am so jealous that you have the ability to drive anywhere you want to off road, all that land, all those woods, and the gulags to explore wherever and whenever you want.. I am also saddened by the fact that city life has softened me, and physical injury has weakened me and I could not survive that kind of lifestyle. But, thanks to you I get to watch just a bit of it 😁. But it makes me think that this must not be far from what it was like during the days of the land rush back in the mid-late 1800's in America! ~~~Cheers

Growing up in Chicago in the 50's/60's I and a friend wandered around collecting pop bottles to turn in at the store for money to buy - CANDY! No scrap metal to collect LoL

I'm pretty sure moose is a "he" in russian)). Dog is a "she", horse is a "she", bear is "he". General designation of an animal (both male and female) is a he or she, and if you talk about an animal of specific gender, there is another word for the other gender. For example general designation word cat (кошка) is a she, if you talk about female cat, you use the same word, and for male cat you use different word - кот.

Interesting! I live in the Northern USA, Lat 45, and we participate in some of the same activities, recycling metals, using firwood, etc. Of course, markets to buy anything are within a few kilometers and even our backroads are like freeways compared to your roads. I do like your collection of vehicles, they seem very durable. Your vegetation and land are very similar to Northern MN, USA.

No pubs?!!! 'tis a strange strange place! In English villages the pub is usually built before the church! (Although these days a lot of them have been converted into private homes).

I'm a little late to this video of bla-la-la, sorry but even though it's a very awesome show bla-la bla-la, I just found you on this funky phone thing. Haha

[@jimwasson7561]

Everything looks so dilapidated in town. So that because you are so remote? Are building standards not great I'm Russia? Or does the way things look come secondary to functionality?

[@marthest-louis7128]

I'm catching up on older videos. This one was great to see your surroundings, where you go get food, mail. It makes me appreciate our country roads. Always nice to see and hear the Ninjas and no, they are never too loud, on the contrary very pleasant. Cheers from -20C central Canada.

[@PeterPanMan]

Damn, Lars! The best moment of the video was the burn-barrel explosion at the very end but we couldn't see it because someone's big Danish a$$ got in the way! :)

[@patrickkrise8851]

I love watching these videos no matter how many times I've seen them they still intrest me very much and I can always find something I didn't notice before. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😀😀😀

[@southernwanderer7912]

That was a great video. Love seeing how Russian's live. The country folks in Russia are a lot like the country folks in America.

[@fredthorne9692]

A little Survival Russia TaoFledermaus is a fun thing. A happy villiage where people know each other is the best of life, even if it is a hard life. A community based on cooperation.

[@curtforeman9014]
