Cold Weather Survival (2018) {Poncho Survival Shelter Overnight]

[@EconoChallenge]

It is completely awesome to see you promote a message against using spruce bows to make a bed when you don't "need" to. Thank you for that.

[@MrMARKKIND]

I always appreciate your encouragement of stewardship of trees.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Very good, my friend. I think you are going to have an awesome night...

[@Bob-eo3gf]

I love my coffee and watching your videos in the morning. Those freedom trees are interesting.

[@Pixxelshim]

Thanks for all of your comments on various subjects (guns in Russia, unique types of trees, wolves, why you build different types of fires, etc. etc.) Great job. And thanks for politely disagreeing with all of the internet experts who tell you to do things differently. It is the joy that you express when out in the forest that makes your videos so compelling.

The Cold Night Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKmQmYprpL91mbc :) This Was A Cold One..

[@stetsonhanson3544]

looked might cold Lars, Congrats , great vid!

[@talleyrandxlll7037]

It’s always great to see such a rare and majestic tree like the Freedom Tree!

[@johno400]

“The Evil Tool” absolutely hilarious. Have a good day sir!

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

You one amazing man!! Proud to call you friend!! People are people..... Only line's on a map and governments separate us. It takes a brave person to try new ideas on tape live!!! Not many do that. Thanks much for sharing and blessings 😇🇺🇸. #AWESOME !!

[@rickseifert5139]

Freedom tree is a wonderful tree, ensures nothing that wants to make you their dinner succeeds in their agenda. The 7.62 mm fruits either in 54R or the 51 NATO works very well, as does the 223 (5.45 ) x 45 works very efficiently for just in case. Great video mate, bloody cold you have over there, here it's been 37-39 C last couple days at start of autumn here central western Australia,. Looking forward to part 2. Best regards from WA in Australia.

[@chalmerbasham695]

Survival in the frozen out of doors, pure enjoyment: looking after two mini-ninjas for a day, terror and foreboding ensues. haha

[@semco72057]

That is a nice shelter you have there and there is plenty of snow on the ground also. I would love to be there to enjoy the survival in the wilderness with you. We have not had a bad Winter in several years and I love the cold since I can move around in the cold easier than during Summer.

[@eqlzr2]

Great knowing about Freedom around the World.

[@brycenoliver5031]

Thanks Lars, awesome as always

[@corvusduluth]

Hey Lars, 2 years ago a medium sized dog was 'snatched' by a Grey Wolf...in daytime in full view of it's owners. This was 20 miles outside of the small city in which I reside. Last year a man saved his dog during a fight between his dog and a Grey Wolf...tracks confirmed by MN DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources). This happened in a Park on the edge of town, in daytime, early morning. Respect.

[@fumasterchu12]

I just got home from work, had to work another weekend. Looks like I might have to work next weekend too, but the following weekend my oldest daughter is getting married. All that to say I was really needing to see some good videos when I got home tonight, totally exhausted. This video was great and relaxing, and I'm about to start the next one. Thanks for the great work, I really do appreciate all the hard work you put into the videos and taking us along. Many blessings my friend, and I hope you have an AWESOME week ahead!

[@stephenfewson7188]

Being used to the tropics here, it fascinates me about winter camping. Love watching your practical style. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺

[@martinpecheur8506]

Very good videos..thanks from Canada

[@adamelliott3771]

Dude you are awesome I want to come over and hangout with you man.

[@RM-io7qo]

Awesome video as always and superbly entertaining. Take care...

[@coydogoutdoors]

nice job never underestimate a good poncho

[@bushcraftoberland]

Hi Lars great Video and much of snow :) best regards Enrico

[@bgtrev]

Good thing about your channel is you are actually out doing and trying out these ideas, beats all the armchair bushcraft/survivalists hands down. Picking up some good stuff from you, thanks.

[@Blueswailer]

I was at my best friend's place having a bit of a chat and what do I come home to? Double Whammy from Survival Russia! This is the best dang Sunday in a long while. I know I've already said it but that combination of old and new with the camera headband always gets me. Truly appreciate all the effort you put into producing so much great content! I wish we had the AK spruce here as well. *sigh* A man can dream. Haha, did you say "Fotosynteesi" in Finnish? It sounded like it.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

I think this is what Americans call "quality time". Well, so often we see Mother Russia is depicted as a bully or actually a threat or bad boy in the World theatre but having spent most of my working career in Military Intelligence and being of Finnish blood i know this is actually bullshit. lol. It's just a part of the great Game we play. Don't pay mind to the propaganda, it is created in work shops all over the World, ours and theirs. Russians are good people and their leaders are ever so strong. I wish some times we had the same resource but with leadership that did not have to answer to Europe. Great vid brother. Cheers Moose.

[@iametoh]

All topics are popular with the RIGHT group of people ^^

[@mz.6109]

Great video and awesome knowledge Thanks Lars I found another older but still great video

[@SuperQuickfix1]

Lol love the 3d printer, wish we were as free.

[@zyriab5797]

Took me a while to understand you didn't actually packed a 3D printer. It all makes sense now! Love you videos, cheers from western-Europe!

[@kmonnier]

Watching from warm couch after cold hammocking last night :)

[@kmonnier]

My new silkie saw was super helpful!

[@rc287]

Great video Lars. I love that your videos are real and not that fake survival garbage. I've learned more from your videos than any others. Thanks my friend for being real. Stay warm out there and watch out for those sneaky wolves.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you!

[@jeffvaughn7987]

That triple log fire may prove really useful for one area I camp in..Thanks..

[@crimsonbear9336]

Thanx again for a Great vid. I use a banco folding saw, works well. Have never tasted any silky products seem a bit high prices. But the banco works great for 4-5 logs

[@asfinland]

I love the Freedom Trees! LoL!

[@bushnut8305]

when I take spruce bows, I will take and use the whole tree. however I take the ones that have the least chance of survival. those growing in bunches, I'll take the smaller ones or those that are being choked out by a larger one. those that are bent by snow, or damaged/ diseased etc... anytime I cut wood in the forest dry or green, I make sure that what I am doing will help the forest.

[@christopherslaughter2263]

Nice Kalashnikov.

[@samvittoria9692]

Freedom trees are very good. Dang glad we don't have wolves in Oregon where I am but we have a dang lot of cougars. I carry freedom fruit with me at night .

[@MuskratOutdoors]

You will have wolves there soon. Parts of Oregon already has them. Idaho,Montana and Wyoming are all full, the wolves are spreading to neighboring states.

[@kcraig51]

There have been reports of wolves and/or cougars being seen in here Tennessee. But I can neither confirm nor deny. Cougars - maybe. Wolves - I lean towards deny.

[@longislandcerealkiller5955]

kcraig51 I found me a cougar last night one hell of a broad I thought so

[@tomritter493]

The poncho I love mine with a liner it makes a sleeping bag or a great coat too what is that pole with the rope and belt ? We had many bear and coyote attacks here too take care brother

[@Dakkar171]

Thanks for looking out for the trees man. Great videos as usual dude. It was awesome :)

[@Hellfrolic71]

I need a Freedom Tree in my yard!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Everybody Does :)

[@loupiscanis9449]

thank you Lars .

[@jeepman1961]

From upstate New York! I really enjoy your videos!! I have been winter camping, ( favorite season), for many years!! The coldest 5 day trip was -#30* C. I am looking forward to trying the "long fire" and more so the Siberian log fire!!

[@SurvivalRussia]

It works very well :) Thank you.

[@hermit6208]

You found an AK Spruce? Excellent. If only I could find a Walther Spruce hear in Maine. That would be wonderful.

[@westmeathguy]

Surprised you mention wolves and wolverines as potential hazards. They both never hurt anyone here in Canada and we have lots of them. Nice video, good job!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Russian wolves have a lot to learn from their Canadian relatives then :) Thank you.

[@АндрейФесенко-о1н]

Как я провёл день выборов!)))

[@brucefoote540]

андрей фесенко 5 months ago,"Как я провёл день выборов!)))" From the russian: "How I Spent Election Day"

[@newtubefag]

Wolverines! Lars, you absolute madman! I laughed for a good minute.

[@tallcedars2310]

Nice build with the poncho and emergency blanket, look forward to seeing how it goes overnight. With the fire my bet is it will be a good survival shelter:) The fires tho, what a great idea to build the Longfire for daytime use then at night lay the Siberian Logs on it, brilliant, it's a must try added to my list.

[@dontbelievethehype156]

3D Printer??? Haha, brillant...

[@Frostyeveryday]

FREEDOM TREES!!!! They grow here in Kentucky as well!!

[@southernwanderer7912]

Great videos. Interesting info on guns in Russia. I'm a gun-totter myself.

[@capthappy345]

Luv the show! I want 2 visit Russia in the future.

[@Qarlo99]

A great video ... waiting to start part 2! Awesome!

[@codesterrrr]

Good work! Looks cozy under the shelter. :-D

[@derbybushcraftandoutdoors3176]

Another great video dude.

[@frobbit30]

I love this channel!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks! :)

[@mistersmith158]

Dang sure awesome video full of lots of Survival Russia goodness I will await the next part of this adventure

[@kevins1114]

Congratulations to everyone in Russia for keeping such a great man in charge there. If the opposition had won, it would have meant the return of the Soviet Union. I hope V.P. keeps Mr Lavrov in his current position - I can't help but love him for being so straight-forward and unabashed when dealing with the limp-wristed politicians from other countries. This also means you won't lose your printing tools to the government, like some want here in the USA.

[@talleyrandxlll7037]

I need to find some remote woodlands for when family is visiting.

[@stemer1149]

Hi Lars. Great video. I was wondering when your dog(s) will be ready for accompanying you into the forest?

[@redlock4004]

Hey Lars, did you pack any rabbit droppings to eat in your rattion box? Really nice example of the AK Freedom tree, you sure found a beautiful one. Those wolves can be.... (comment continued on Sunday).

[@freetrueandjust]

Completely Awesome videos!

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks Lars, always a pleasure , been waiting for this all weekend !

[@sarvove]

Very popular for me that topic

[@pupapupa4844]

Nice gun hanging there!

[@santiagocondemorales5567]

14:00 what relfects the heat is the aluminium the heat is just light in the under part of the visible spectrum but gold silver and many metals reflect that light anyways, when you cover yourself with one space blanket it becomes really obvios that is doing something, im thinking of making sleeping bags with a thick outsidelayer an insolant and a metaly inner just to see cuz im very crusious haha. by the way the gold side reflects more heat, not by much, but something is something.

[@eltenda]

Great shelter as usual

[@bobsimmons919]

Ha ha. The ever essential "evil tool" Don't leave home without it!

[@sustainablewarriors8844]

Lars you're a legend that's for DANG sure!

[@sustainablewarriors8844]

Looking forward to the second installment!...

[@johnmoder5306]

Really like your videos and Blablabla 😉

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Looking forward to part 2. I have fired the 7.62 x 54R many times out of Moisens, a couple of times out of Dragonovs, and a "One-off" based on an RPD Receiver (HIGHLY MODIFIED BY A LICENSED MANUFACTURER!), and it's a very good round, but LOUD! I also fired a Friend's VEPR in 7.62 NATO. Very Nice! About the same recoil as a M-14. But since my Shoulders and Eyes are getting Old and Frail, I'm reduced to getting my Printers from the AR, SKS and M1 Carbine Trees. But they'll do the Job if necessary, that's for Dang Sure!

[@SurvivalRussia]

All very fine printing tools :)

[@nomadicoasis9260]

I like to use a DELL XP9 laser inkjet printer... for target practise ;)

[@Kargoneth]

I want a freedom tree!

[@punkhiker389]

Another great video .

[@froschnmaximus9108]

Printing tool also known as a game-marker on hystericTube ;) I think you handle this "issue" in a good way. It is just a hunters tool in yor hand and that's for dang sure. The twigs between the layes of the shelter is a clever thing. It traps air inside - means better insulation.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :) Part 2 is up in 20 min or so. "Quite an Experience" :)

[@Dave-sy3rg]

Lars, I'm curious about your magnesium and flint firestarter. Can you tell me where you got it from? I've seen similar looking ones on eBay, but I don't know if they are the same.

[@beautanner8409]

So awesome!

[@ventoraveritas2853]

love your channel .what time sone are you inn . På gjensyn Lars

[@jeffwise3851]

I am so very tired of "politics" getting in the way of people.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I agree :)

[@nicholferguson2613]

Nationalism is senseless ignorance. Without Red Army, WW2 would have ended quite differently. A Russian man saved humanity by pausing his orders and investigating a false nuclear strike instead of launching retaliatory nukes. A Russian here giving free survival lessons and truthful insights to a world he knows is biased. I drink to Lars, and to a future where cultural discrimination is a past mistake we no longer make.

[@bogusswe]

Nichol Ferguson There also is Santa...

[@longislandcerealkiller5955]

Get hold of politics or politics will control you

[@RM-io7qo]

Politics are only for those who live very sad lives. Take care...

[@chrisosh9574]

It's a pity there are no AK trees in my area, my wife went for a trip up in the mountains today and found only a hermit in a cave, no AK trees. Still, when I move to my new house it has a large garden and other land, perhaps I can plant a couple of trees. I hope the wind stays friendly and the wolves stay away.

[@Toad_Hugger]

Great video as always Lars! I hope the wolves don't become too much of an issue. Be careful out there. I had been looking at those 7.62x54r Veprs for a while. But then Molot got acquired by Kalashnikov, so now we can't get any more in the US. We have some strange import restrictions. I'd love to get one someday. I'll look forward to when Sergey gets his! I bet he'll have a great time with it. You actually found an AK-spruce?! I thought they were only in legend! I'll look forward to part 2 :)

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

if you happen to shoot a wolf do you eat it or do you feed it to your dog

[@mi1kyboy]

Very N1. Yeah allways wear glovs when using the big boy. I hit myself yesterday with it 😦. Needed to go to the Hospital.... was a prty hard hit....

[@eddieed_2328]

it looks like the fire is far away from where you are sleeping, so how will the fire keep you warm?

[@jameseaton264]

Keep deputy dog safe and you're self

[@YllwNinja82]

I have to get some AK spruce seeds! :D

[@santiagocondemorales5567]

the second video i see him harvesting one of those mythical trees that belong to the AK-tree family, last time was a little bit more scary, i guess they are slow in winter.

[@markatkinson614]

Lonnie said that the vinyl clear shower curtain .produced the 91° temps he recorded in his

[@SurvivalRussia]

I watched that video too :)

[@rescueuchief]

Thanks Lars! Great video. I love the sled idea for winter adventures. In some areas like yours it's a great and easy way to bring in plenty of gear. I'm considering trying it out sometime. Any tips for loading or pulling those gear sleds? Stay warm my friend!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Even with little snow a sled is great. Tips: Distribute weight evenly, heavy stuff at the bottom, It's better the sled is a little heavy at the rear than front and if you are packing a firearm, then remember to pack it so the muzzle points rearwards :)

[@rescueuchief]

Survival Russia thanks! I'm definitely going to give it a try! And yes, barrels pointed away from me would be probably best! Haha!

[@sosteve9113]

Looking good Lars

[@eddieed_2328]

how about hanging a wind sock in the tree, to see the direction and speed of the wind

[@longislandcerealkiller5955]

Another great video your one tough son of a bitch with real knowledge keep them coming

[@lovebikesmustride]

how much will you be selling freedom tree saplings for?

[@max_fjellstorm]

What do you think about the Swedish two log fire „the best fire“ ?

[@SurvivalRussia]

Swedish 2 log fire??

[@max_fjellstorm]

Survival Russia a self feeding fire made from two logs that Leigh over each other with the fire in between. In Swedish it’s called „den bästa stockelden“ it’s quite a good Oldtimer skill

[@dennisobrien3618]

Paul Kirtley just did a video on it in the past couple days. It looked very effective.

[@max_fjellstorm]

Dennis O'Brien yes great Video! He explained it very good. Maybe something to try out for Lars

[@dorianleclair7390]

We have a lot of AR trees here in a America

[@sixblanc]

" Blablablah" :D

[@Vladviking]

Yea well that is why I watch you. For current Russia. I'm not an idiot politician looking to cover up my FAIL.

[@phyllismulkey3778]

good video

[@joebliksem2410]

Lars, you bring Tinder to the forest? But you are a happily married man :)

[@ericcorse]

Guys is the Birch bark full of rosin? It seemed to smoke a lot and I have not noticed this before.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Bitumen. It's kind of a tar so to speak.

[@ericcorse]

Thank you sir.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Birch bark is king :)

[@boojahadeen]

Is carrying the shotgun an issue now? Calling it a printer and such

[@Memovox]

boojahadeen . It's an KZbin issue. -Defunding etc..

[@SurvivalRussia]

It is.

[@Memovox]

Survival Russia . Sad.. And so far no alternative.

[@dib0018]

I have suffered from that misconception as many Americans. Not sure who here perpetuates the misinformation but I have learned that Estonians own the same firearms as Americans. We Americans aren't more free as we are lead to believe.
