[@chrisrogers864]

Thank-you Lars for keeping the channel going in these difficult times, will be sharing it with as many as possible of the motorhome and camping groups I'm a subscriber to here in the UK

[@glyngibbs9489]

Excellent advice. Be patient, this madness can't last forever.

"Get training, get out, get it done. Do something awesome! " It doesn't get any better for motivational talks! Keep on rocking Lars! 👍

Excellent video and I love the bit about the snow and the explanation of why you need to put your bottle in a new hole every time. Thanks

[@lizard2425]

Thanks Lars. Keep them coming. 🙂

[@ricksimpkns741]

good to see your doing good and thanks for all the great information with the cold weather that came throw it was -15f here

[@The_Blessed_Cowboy]

I warm up my water before i hit the sack and keep it next to me in my sleeping bag. It keeps me warm ,and keeps the water from freezing. Its a chance you take, make sure the lid is on TIGHT! Ive made a few trips mountaineering in -40c here in Canada.

[@jerrytalley802]

Priceless survival information on the water. It is no way I would have known that on my own. Thanks

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's a simple trick, but it works!

[@OverlandTheSlowWay]

Thank you Lars! Just got back from an awesome winter camp here in northern Romania using a Siberian log fire, was -16c and stayed warm and comfortable easily thanks to the knowledge you have shared. Next time my water won't freeze 😜...

[@fordx4n]

the shelter held up really good!

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

In northern Canada, as a kid in the 1960's, we ate snow normally. It was free water everywhere. I eat snow in the bush, because its clean, usually (not the yellow stuff). As for the tipi, it was a Plains Indians shelter, with poles and bison hides. But now, it has been adapted by the eastern Natives too, who use polytarps (not clear ones, but the blue, or green coloured tarps) for the tipi cover. It covers the entire pole structure, no big open door like yours. They also add a half-wall inside, which acts as a cold sink insulator. The top is open to allow smoke to escape, since a small fire, or a small wood stove, heats the tipi. They really are super stable, and easy to build and use. Take care, Lars.

[@Chris-sn6ck]

I would prefer -15c and calm to 0c windy and humid. Thats bone chilling cold. Stay safe my friend.

Nice to visit again Lars , always a pleasure, good tips , thanks for sharing, YAH bless brother !

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Good to see you Lars... hoping all is well in your camp. One thing I would add is often times having or storing a water bottle upside down... this way, lid/cap less likely to freeze shut as well as ice formation would likely hard freeze at container bottom vs. ice sealing off top.

[@juliusmalcovsky4092]

[@Diablo-jt4tv]

In a survival situation, store your water close to your heart.

[@Diablo-jt4tv]

It won't freeze unless you freeze.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Difficult to do with 4 - 6 liters or plus one gallon.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Thanks😊

[@yuriklaver4639]

This is a very useful trick! Will try this in Norway this March. Thanks.

[@johnrhodes3350]

You could also turn your water bottle upside-down, since ice trend to form on the top, being less dense than the liquid. So even if the top half freezes solid, then when you turn the cap up, the water is on top and accessible.

[@yuriklaver4639]

@ Thanks Lars, You mentioned you had a weird winter. In the PNW we just south of the Canadian boarder and as west as one can go,North Cascade’s also right behind Vancouver Island. Zero snow in the low lands it’s held about 40-45 in F all year and we just now getting frost. The geese and duck migration was small so huntings been blah at best. It been a very weird winter here also…

Hi Lars!! Its Great to see you here again!! Amazing how the plastic Tipi is still holding up well!!! No snow or rain here for Winter so far!! Ground is so hard couldn't get poles stuck in to make my own !little backyard shelter experiment. Anyway, wouldn't be fun due to there being a fire ban and drought! Puts a camper on things to do for amusement! Oh well.. I think it is unfair how badly this KZbin entity is treating you! If I get some spare vintage I shall try to gift it to you! That was a decent interview which was very informative! You shine up like a new penny!! 😉😁🕺 Stay Warm and God Bless You and Yours with all that you need!! Later..!!🙋🏻‍♀️🤗

I really enjoy watching your videos, Lars, thank you. I wonder if you have ever considered making a video wearing/using just old fashioned clothing and equipment, just for fun, it would be interesting to see how you would have coped 100 years ago, and how much of a difference modern technology makes, particularly in clothing. All the best.

Im in Alaska and we are having crazy weather this winter also . We got a rain and wind storm in January this is not a normal winter this year temperatures are warm instead of below 0 we are in 20s above 0 . I'd love to come to Russia and check out Serbia and the Urals and get some trapper skies and boots . But unfortunately it's not safe to come over such a beautiful country. Happy New Year to you and your family.

So happy to see you, thank you for the video. Prayers to you and your family in hopes our governments can get it together in Jesus name.. ❤

[@20_below]

the winter is broken here in Alaska too, going to a horrible spring if this keeps up

[@mpmansell]

Another good thing to remember is that if the water is too warm, it will melt the snow and reduce the depth of insulation. Also, water is weird and will lose heat energy faster if hot (ice crystals when thrown :) ) so I found that letting the water cool a bit first, while insulated (wrapped up in your clothing which keeps you nice and toasty, or in your sleeping bag, to cool a bit (while still taking advantage of the heat), before burying in the snow. If the snow is likely to still melt, make the layer thicker then, if it does melt, when/if it refreezes, it will still have enough to stay insulated.

[@savagepro9060]

"The Right Way to Store Your Water" Trust him. Survival Russia snows his stuff!

[@brackonstudios]

I’d advise (first making sure the cap is secure, then) turning the bottle upside down. That way, if it starts to freeze, you can still drink it. Since it will be the bottom of the bottle that freezes, and not the neck/spout.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It will not freeze if you cover the bottle well.

[@petesheppard1709]

Good timing! We are having a sub-freezing spell down here in Alabama, USA (the Sunny South) and I was thinking about your winter survival videos. Apparently Russia is exporting cold weather to Canada and the USA!! 🥶
