Cold Weather Survival - No Shelter, No Sleeping Bag, Only Food Was Dried Fish And Melted Snow

[@keithoszmanjr4802]

"for those of you wearing bicycle helmets..." LOL love it!

[@Gjallarhorn84]

I remember few years ago you did the same challenge and you almost died during your sleep, so you gave up at dawn and went back home, the content of that video stayed with me forever because it's the ultimate lesson of respecting our limits. Your videos are priceless

[@SurvivalRussia]

It was not as cold in this video, as in the one you mention. The video you refer to, it was below -20c. In this video I was using much the same equipment, except that I was not wearing my usual wool clothes. The wool clothes makes a hell of a difference.

[@Gjallarhorn84]

@@SurvivalRussia Thank you for the clarification

[@iceboundmartel]

I'll also never forget that video and that lesson

[@jerrytalley802]

Lars, I purchased some wool long Johns from sportsmen’s guide, think they were Italian military and they were tge best investment of my life, $30 for the set. I metal detected in 10 degrees Fahrenheit with 25 mph winds and was comfortable. Wool is great

[@jerrytalley802]

Lars we like you, you should use a stick of wood and baton that stuff, you’re ruin your hand using it as a hammer, ugh!

[@NIKOLASAV1]

Love it how he uses real survival food every time he's out, not busting out a cast iron skillet to make a three course meal (like anyone would do that in a real life survival situation) Bit of dried fish or smoked pork fat is real survival food, high in calories and easy to eat on the feet. So to say. Awesome work.

Always something to pick up in your videos like lighting a test fire for prevailing winds before the main fire simple genius right there ! did my first siberian log fire this past november hunting season we had a cozy camp i tell you all the best Lars!

Glad you made it through this one Lars

[@Grantthetruthteller]

I wish you could sell your cover in the US. It looks like the perfect survival item to pack in a car for when you get stranded because of snow or accident. You could fit a small family under that cover to help everyone stay warm while waiting for help.

[@Youarentpassing]

[@greekveteran2715]

Human beings where not designed to live in a apartment in dirty city, but out in the nature in small groups of people, like the villages of the past. Now, even the villages have become a caricature of a small city. It's in our genes, to live and work out there, in the clean air!!! I hope you're all well!!

[@KathySarich]

Biggest problem is, most people have forgotten how dangerous nature is though as well. I’ve seen far too many people that come out of the cities, and have absolutely no clue... their food comes from a store, their heat is magically there in a vehicle or building, and they have no idea how to survive without the systems that make that possible for them. Some actively attack the industries that are keeping them alive, such as the farmers and oil industry.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Much appreciated!

[@jwh525]

Lars, one thing that you could do to help with your axe/hatchet is to wrap the handle with 2mm solid wire in the area where your hands go. Wrap it in a spiral pattern about 1inch apart as you go up or down depending on where you start your wrap. Finish off the wire wrap by adding a layer of hockey tape to help keep it all in place. I am a firefighter here in the US and we do this with our chopping, pulling or prying tools. It makes maintaining control of the tool so much easier especially when the tool and your gloves get wet or icy. Keep up the good work and the videos coming.

[@nickscavenger]

There's no need for that. Siberians put a "temlyak" on the end of the axe handle. This is a rope that is put on the arm and keeps the axe from flying out and slipping out. Most often Siberians work without gloves, for more precise jewelry work. Wrapping the ax handle with wire, you will rub your hands to calluses

[@gusgone4527]

Great video. My coldest nights spent outside were minus 15C on the North Yorkshire Moors. Temperature measured under canvas in a sheltered spot without wind-chill. I remember hanging my SMG on a branch before taking my gloves off to attend to a "biological need." Drinking too much hot coffee to keep warm and awake has that side effect. Don't eat the yellow snow! Deed done, and without thinking. I grasped the barrel of the SMG to resume my patrol of the perimeter. The ventilated barrel sleeve froze to my hand. Like a rookie I forgot to put my gloves back on first. My skin looked like it had been attacked by the suckers of an octopus or squid. First ever "cold burn." Thank the Gods it was not minus 20C or lower, Tings could have been much worse than just a few red marks. It certainly gave me a new appreciation of the term "cold steel."

Lars. A Whelen Lean , the pattern is on the web. In 10oz. canvas. Its a giant heat reflector where you can burn a fire all night = bush craft glamping. i know you can survive in the Taiga winter but I'd like to see you enjoy camping sometime. A Whelen allows you to really put your skills together with an open structure that allows comfortable shelter and sleeping . It may be something viewers can profit from learning about and how to use.

[@KathySarich]

I actually got a little outdoor wood burning stove, -40 sleeping bags, and sled, need to get a canvas tent yet though. I figure that if I ever have to go winter camping here in Saskatchewan, I’m going to have to be a heavily weighed down camper, or I’m definitely not going to make it. 🙈 Lol! Needless to say, if there’s ever a SHTF situation during the winter, my first choice is to hunker down, leaving is a last resort. Saskatchewan is definitely survivable if you can gather enough during the summer months, but winter isn’t the time to be out and about without modern conveniences, which might explain my absolute adoration for my fuel guzzling vehicles. Lol!

Try and contact PF Bereg Canada. They have some great modern hot-tents and stoves.

Another thing people don't seem to reckon with: in a real survival situation when you are trying to conserve your calories, you shouldn't waste them chopping wood when you could be sawing wood.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Exactly.

[@wrxs1781]

This is more like winter camping, you had all the kit.

[@SurvivalRussia]

There is one thing some people don't understand about winter. Especially winter around here. You need to have a certain amount of equipment, or you will die. Basically. That means you will have to keep your gear close, as if it was your firearm and ammo in a conflict zone.

[@MontanaWelldigger]

It's doable but looks uncomfortable, I guess survival isn't meant to be comfortable. Thanks for the great content.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Doable but uncomfortable indeed.

[@donaldnorth3714]

Awesome trip Lars! I was curious as to how the Siberian fire held up over the night!

[@SonnyCrocket-p6h]

that bough /debris shelter stuff is the BUNK. half a day wasted and if it rains, youll still get wet and freeze. The debris soaks up water and collapses your shelter frame. You'l be FAR better off to have a membrane on both sides of 6" of dry debris, sealing the edges, "trapping' the air between the tarps, ponchoes bivvies, or whatever membrane you have, than to have even 3 ft of exposed debris, if it rains. Murphy says it WILL rain, too, especially if you lack waterproof membranes.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It will rain for sure! If you prepare for rain, it won't rain.

Lars do you ever try using clay pottery in winter time for cooking in survival environment? I remember old times when people use clay pots for keeping stuff but now is rarely to see that someone use it. All is for stainless steel or from older times using a casting pots.
