[@benleydon]

Lol To be honest it doesn't bother me even if the accusations were true. Your channel has nothing to do with politics, I've never even felt such a message or vibe. You have shown nothing but your Hard Work, shared your Skills with us, and set us such a good example of how to Make a House and Raise a Family with Love and Respect. Any comment on current events is minimal and just helps us understand the point of view of some real Russian people - nothing more. SLAVA SURVIVAL RUSSIA!!

[@stevengegar9709]

KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB ON LONGER VIDEOS , THAT I ENJOY MUCH BETTER . FYI YOU PROVIDE CONTENT ON BUSHCRAFTING AND ALL OF YOUR FANS AGREE , PARDON MY LANGUAGE ''' WE DON'T GIVE A DAMNED ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY , WE WATCH YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU AND NOTHING MORE, ''' BLAH BLAH BLAH, AND SO ON '' HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

[@Astuga]

The problem today is, when a person has to deal with an investigation (even if they drop all criminal charges) it can result in getting on a blacklist for airtravel and getting kicked out from every bank account. Just look at the Canadian truckers.

@@Michael-rw5fy So what? Who doesn't hate the US government at this point in time?

I am African American and have learned a lot from this channel as long as mutual respect is shown I don’t care what ideology you believe or used to believe in

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much bro :)

So long people are good same principles i use Sir ...(so call leders coud learn from that)

Best message in this video, “mind your own business, and do something awesome”. Truer words have never been spoken!

[@CatapultCarnage]

Very honest man with a strong character. I'm from Northern Ireland where people are detained all the time for their political or national views. We have quite a bit of internal tension with British and Irish people. It's no where near as bad as the 70s, 80s and early 90s but because of this I understand your circumstances in your own experience

[@fosterkennel649]

I am just an older American Patriot living in the hills. Love your channel Lars. Blessings to you and your loved ones

[@OKBushcraft]

Same here.

[@RatsAndFunTV]

I found great your message.

[@PropagandaFacts]

Same.

Jesus loves you guys, felt prompted

[@jesuslovesme9138]

Lars, I don't pay any attention to myths or gossip. I love your content and your wholesome channel. I pray our loving creator showers you and your family with blessings! Have a GREAT day!!

[@TheTommyw77]

Great stuff Lars. Much love and respect from the UK.

[@aktrapper6126]

I've never had a doubt about you being the real deal Lars. I love your channel and living in the North country I can feel very connected with you and what you share.

[@chrisdeal9945]

Ditto from Ab Canada

[@scottsotak8788]

I've been subscribed for 2 yrs. I don't even know your last name. Nor do I care. I watch for content. Whether it's family,cooking, or survival/camping. Everyone's got a past; it should be left alone. Keep up the great work!

[@alankoester3344]

And after this short interlude, back to the woods for more adventure in the Siberian taiga! Thanks Lars for all your wonderful videos. Looking forward to the next one

[@SurvivalRussia]

We have a Siberian Log Fire camp waiting for us :)

[@carl4323]

I think that it is great that you have had this opportunity to find happiness out in the wilds with your family. Love the 12 sided building.

[@CravenStudiosArt]

Lars, you reminded me of a great Tolstoy quote- "Everyone thinks of changing the world, No one thinks of changing themselves" Thanks for posting amigo- Saludos from Tucson, AZ

[@javelin9357]

People learn, people grow. Wisdom comes from experience and mistakes. The passions and interests of young men mellow and are replaced by life experience. I think you're a good and honorable guy. The internet trolls haven't walked in your shoes. Kee up the good videos

[@auroraborealisknives4019]

Nothing wrong with being part of a right wing organization

[@dandetande288]

We all go through stages of curiosities, i would say, ...but you grow out of them and continue with your life, especially when you have a wife and children, you dont have time, and energy for everyting that is out there to stirr interest

[@fritz_ersatz]

Your transparency makes me like you even more.

[@andrewsalacina9705]

Love you Lars . Stay safe . Get out and train and get it done!

[@hikoseijuro7977]

I have been following your channel for maybe 5 years now and I was very left-leaning but am no longer politically motivated. I always thought you had a political background too and your life has brought you here now where you value the planet and raise your children. it comes down to what you said in the end. salutes comrade: )

[@SurvivalRussia]

Some do not understand that. To some I'm still 'neo nazi" leader of a group which was not that to begin with...

[@Green-night1]

My family and I love your videos! Unfortunately anyone who puts themselves in a spot light becomes a target for disgruntled and I dare say JEALOUS fools. You put your self out there and I hope you continue. God bless you and your family. God bless us all!

[@Winnie122459]

Lars you are my HERO! Common sense

[@MichaelR58]

Lars,, that was an interesting story , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !

[@dougwarkentin308]

Thanks for that Lars, confirms what we believed here in Canada anyway....always nice to learn things about friends!!! Kindest regards to you, Mrs SR and the Ninjas, keep the fantastic survival and building videos coming, gets us through the -30C winter days !!!

[@Snipez-xv3oy]

Watching from Canada... Love the channel, content and your personality and I have learned a lot from your show. It is content creators like you that leave race and politics to the side and actually bring people of all walks of life together...keep up the great work !

[@fredbustin3788]

I forget how I heard those stories about you but I did. I didn't really worry about it because I was enjoying and learning from you videos... but I did wonder what the story was, a little bit. Really enjoyed your explanation and know personally how mountains are built from mole hills. You have done well for yourself despite that whole episode. The best revenge is leading a good life!

[@joeythegypsy]

Been watching you for years. Love your channel. Agree with you on pretty much everything.

[@chipsfalling8625]

Thanks for sharing Lars. I'm not going anywhere, really have enjoyed you and your families contribution to my understanding of living in the far cold reaches. Keep up the good work.

[@CounterNerd]

I haven't gone through what you have but I started getting into politics in 2015 when everything started getting 'heated'. What a waste of energy, I'm glad you have found peace of mind.

[@SkogKniv]

Still right here Lars! God bless you and the family!

[@snipepockets11]

Great video Lars, keep up the great work. From Canada

[@666tokarev]

You are one of my favorite content creators,always very excited when I get a notification from your channel!

[@U.F.O_0908]

Stories and history about personal experiences is some of my favourite things to listen to. Wish this story went on for hours. It's sad that people get demonized for personal beliefs and having different perspectives. The incompetence of the ''secret police" is laughable indeed.

[@charleswalter2902]

The incompetence of the legal system is only laughable if you're not the one caught up in its machinations, then it ain't so funny. I had a case brought against me similar to Lars'. What I remember most is that the cops & the prosecution really didn't give a fuck about innocence or guilt, just conviction.

[@thomjarman]

@@charleswalter2902 I have heard that said about innocence and guilt, just conviction. It seems that the starting point is that "you are not one of us" and that there is presumption of guilt which is contrary to concept of innocent until proven guilty that is the stated manner in which most legal systems are suppose to work.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Lars . "Today the woods , Tomorrow the world" 😁😉 🐺

[@alexcorleonee]

I am a Bosnian Bosniak and I support anybody being patriotic in their country. You are supposed to be patriotic and love your country.

[@heimdalsen721]

And when the patriots of different nations work together, some go crazy.

[@brujua7]

Thanks for the video and for the time you took to share this anecdote. Long time since I last saw a survival russia video, glad to have clicked this one. Love from Argentina!

[@geanhitchcock1170]

you said right my friend no matter who you vote for the governmet wins. lock after youerself and your family and stay super awesome. big hugs from the UK

[@friendly_B]

Great story Lars. Thanks again for sharing. Much respect!

[@joshuamelby]

Very interesting. Thanks.

[@rymdkatt]

Lars, Nice of you to bring this up and give us a view, without anger or anything. It can probably be misused by some but it gives the rest of us some insight and understanding. Thank you

[@wigon]

I'm a Lefty but I still like you Lars mainly because you don't talk about crazy politics and have lots of great knowledge and experiences to share. . :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you. I appreciate your comment :)

[@norronlee4945]

Well done, everyone is entitled to change. You continue to provide a very valuable ensight on the survival.

[@jamesmiddleton1278]

That’s a very open talk, thank you. And as Voltaire in Candide said “Il faut cultiver notre jardin.” Which means roughly “You’ve got to just look after your own garden.”

[@dannydenham8141]

There’s good people and bad people in every country, every city, everywhere. Have you ever noticed that most problems tend to be associated with governments and that common peoples tend to work things out. Blessings Lars, peace, joy, and love.

[@lifefordummies]

Hello, From Newfoundland, Canada!

[@jerrytalley802]

Lars, what’s funny is, I just found your channel around the pandemic and have really enjoyed it, still do. I’ve never even given it a moment of thought what your history was/is? I’ve never had a speeding ticket and I’m 62, but did stupid things growing up like any kid that I realize were stupid today. Tell them “if you live in a glass house, don’t throw stones”, lol

[@Gunni1972]

Same here.

[@talbenavraham1478]

Good explanation but the first rule is never explain or apologise. You've done nothing wrong but some people will find fault whatever the circumstances. Live you're life according to your obvious high standards and ignore the troublemakers.

[@EmptyPocketRacing]

Fed video ✌️🇩🇰

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

You have a wonderful family and an interesting channel. I love your videos and will continue to look forward to new videos.

[@brandywell44]

Thankyou Lars for your story of how you came to Russia and some of your experiences in Denmark . Best wishes from England

[@the_retag]

Im glad you told your side of the story in a clear and coherent manner. I saw some of the stuff you mentioned, and didnt judge you on it since you seemed like a decent guy. But i was a bit, lets say carefull. This now brings some much w anted clarity on what was going on

[@Dalton791000]

I'm here to watch Lars, plane and simple. I'm not even that big into the outdoors part of the channel, but i always enjoy what he has to say and seeing life on a homestead in Russia. Keep up the good work. You are one of a small handful of channels that i make sure to, eventually, watch all of the videos you put out.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I appreciate that!

[@twt3716]

You have to love Big Lars. This channel gives me a much needed lift and put massive smiles on my mug. In life we need this. Thank you big fella. I dont often give credit even when its due because i'm basically a miserable old bastard. But i give this channel a lot of credit.

[@botulf4908]

Great video squire! Relatable and also a kind of echo of a certain Norwegian gentleman (although he did end up committing a serious offence). He started with "extreme" views but as many others he matured into a MAN! Realising that the political arena is a farce, politics is just a "legalised" mafia and there's no way that "they" will simply surrender to others ideals...always look out for yourself and your kith and kin, that is what life is about! Thank you for your honesty and integrity! If there was any weight on your shoulders regarding that period of your life I hope that it has been lifted! Best wishes from Merrie Olde England!

[@seantowlson7051]

Hahahaha, Mad Dane. Awesome, just keep on doing what you do, I for sure will still be following your exploits.

[@andylogartist6851]

[@chadhagans6687]

Hey Lars, you’re awesome. Looking forward to the next video.

[@IK-wc4od]

Everyone in a free society has the right to explore, experience, advocate and promote political ideas both new and old. If you can't do this due to state repression , whether in the left or right, you are not free.

[@jsshuntr1257]

Hey, Lars. It looks like your channel is getting some influence and notice. In your case a bit sooner than others have. I have followed many channels over the years from their early days when some had less than 20K subscribers and watched them grow. One common theme was that once they reached a certain number of subscribers the internet trolls, smt (social media trolls), sjw ( social justice warriors), keyboard experts, haters, they all show up sooner or later to attack you. Consider this as a right of passage. You're approaching 200k subscribers! Live long and prosper.

[@awlwork]

Hi Lars , I'm a long time viewer . I love your content ! To me it's quite obvious you are a good family man . There is no need , for me , to speak about your past . You are doing positive things now and that is what matters to me . Just my 2 cents . keep up the good work !!

[@ernestrautenberg3041]

Thank you for your content about Bushcraft and your projects! The craziness is for simple thinkers. 😅we as men interested in the outdoors don’t need to worry about the rest of the crap!!!

[@citomp1240]

I don't care what those others think Lars. I don't watch their channels. I watch yours. And I'll keep watching yours.

[@abdullaex4119]

First off. Many thanks' Lars letting me into your knowledge in your woods. Please keep your vids coming. I have watched them all, and hope more will follow. And I love, (and use) the Silky saws. I have 4. Hope what is happening in Ukraine, these folks might learn a thing or two from you. Peace from Texas

[@SurvivalFarNorth]

Respekt till dig Lars💪

[@VIPER410]

A day in the life of Lars it was awesome, is awesome and always will be awesome. Not many actually share their back story but knowing yours just gives us another way of knowing you and it is awesome. Thanks for letting us know you better Lars

[@mfreund15448]

I have not heard of this. I appreciate the clarity.

[@jacknobrex]

Lars, you explained more than you needed to. Your a good man to your family and that is all that matters, F_____k the haters and carry on with the channel and keep up the good vibes 👍

Love this guy 👍

[@whiskeypapa8842]

I know who you are Lars. My friend who lives over in Russia with his nice family. End of story.

[@The-Highlands]

Lars, we understand you and we appreciate everything you’re doing… keep up the good work 😊 You are a legend and nobody on earth have the right to judge you for anything you did in your past… We love you and your videos and always you can relay on us… Never let anyone tear you down! Stay safe, Pablo G

[@charlesmckinley29]

Love you Lars. Keep being you. Looking forward to more great videos.

[@rossclay3317]

It has been awhile not seeing your site/Video. Glad to see you are still doing what you do best. I heard rumors that you were forced to join the Russian military to go and fight in Ukraine. Rumors are so often never true. So thank you, for what you do and hello's to your dear family. Stay well, stay safe and may your New Year be full of abundance and happiness. The Yeit Cowboy, Ross.

[@AbelCarden]

I loved this talk. It would be good to hear more stories about your life or thoughts on subjects. you are a good man and really interesting to listen to.

[@deerslayer4331]

Frankly, I don't care about anything in your past. Just keep making your survival bushcraft videos and I'll keep watching. So far I found your channel entertaining and you never seem to push a political agenda one way or the other and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work.

[@altair458]

There's a name for this phenomenon....Legend

[@SurvivalRussia]

[@corvusduluth]

Hei Lars thanks for the information. I "vetted" you 9 years ago, saw and read the 'negative press in the 'archives'. I remember when you were working two jobs. I remember when you uploaded videos parked on the side of the road at the "nearest settlement" with internet access. You gave me a link to hunter skis from Novosibirsk which I bought. My son just used them today on an ice fishing trip to a remote area, hunter skis and pulk. Poor guy had to break trail for 2 other guys who followed with "Back Country Skis", and pulks. ATB

[@SurvivalRussia]

That's a tough job!

[@cagefaraday3081]

Awesome video, my wife and I love your channel and look forward to whatever you want to post. Loved those random vids with your wife giving her background and the Ninja's too. Anyone who will take the time to research your background to that degree needs to, "Get a life". Best advice, don't feed the trolls and then they'll lose interest and move on to harass somebody else. Your channel to me is evidence of hope, hope for a future where the people of the east and the people of the west get along in peace. Its not the "people's" who are the problems its the governments and politicians who stoke division. I personally would love to visit your settlement, maybe someday.

[@whisthpo]

Thank You Lars. You obviously saw what was coming when you moved to Russia... Уважение и наилучшие пожелания всем.

[@gregmalcolm8923]

Stay strong!

[@RamonaELawson]

As someone who is far older than you (I'm 68) and far, far to the left of most of my fellow U.S. citizens, I found nothing disturbing in your story. Who among us hasn't done something that others might look askance at or even revile us for? Few of us could have our lives examined closely and not have to tell a convoluted story to explain our personal evolution. I know I would and I appreciate that you've taken the time and effort to tell yours. Peace to you and to your family.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much. Happy Healthy 2023!!

[@michaelme491]

As soon as you put yourself into the public eye you will find people to spread stories about you it is just part of the course. I personally believe you are a decent person and I really enjoy your films, keep up the good work and all the best for the future.

[@FDosty]

It's hard for some people to understand the concept if changing as you mature. You interests change, your values change, and your focus changes. It's great that you've found your family and your local tribe. Your faithful subscribers have become part of your wider tribe and we appreciate your journey.

[@10lauset]

Cheers and Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family

Found you during pandemic times, my husband and I really enjoy your videos and still binge watch some of the old ones from time to time. You and your wife are wonderful people, her & I had even exchanged a couple comments on IG awhile back. We always look forward to a new video from you, and will continue to follow your channel. This is just cancel culture reaching out, you have a great family and many people who love your videos! Keep up the great work! 👍🏼

I would have chosen to live here regardless of what happened in Denmark. The thing is that I would never have gotten here if I did not visited the Russian "political" group.

[@terrorwavegabber]

@@SurvivalRussia Do you consider yourself as Russian now? and yeah all this "neo-groups" so shady and not organic in any country.

[@SurvivalRussia]

@@terrorwavegabber Of course I don't consider myself Russian. Russian is not something you can just become.

[@terrorwavegabber]

@@SurvivalRussia what about your children? no offence, just curiosity of your perspective about Russian nationality as western migrant in Russia.

[@SurvivalRussia]

@@terrorwavegabber What do you mean, "no offense??" My kids are growing up in Russia, so they will be Russian and biologically half Danish. They will not know much about Danish culture. Not as much as if they were born and raised in Denmark. I'm not even sure I understand your question to be honest :)
