The Survival Russia Channel is about "The Reality Of Survival". I live on a Homestead in far away Russian wild nature. Here is no room for "TV" Survival.
Only Reality counts here. Survival Russia promotes the philosophy of always carrying equipment and never to be parted from equipment which will affect chances of Survival.
So did the old timers and pioneers of both the East and the West.

You know times are tough if you have to use pieces of nail for shot. Those brass shells are cool!

[@SurvivalRussia]

That's for dang sure Jeff :) You should try and use some for your projects. They last forever.

[@SurvivalRussia]

If you can't find any I can ship you some.

[@darrenjenkins3839]

What about using it in plastic shells cant find brass got plenty of plastic

[@Ironpine27]

@@darrenjenkins3839 A bit late of an answer, but you could definitely do it. As long as your shot is round, it won't rip the plastic to shreds. Shooting sharp pieces of steel from plastic will destroy the shell fast, if not after a single load. Although brass won't like it either, still being much softer than steel after all. In a sentence, just make sure your shot is round in shape, and you'll be fine.

[@scubaman2546]

This is an overdue thank-you. Let your neighbour know many appreciate him sharing his post-USSR experiences... and how they put food on the table. Sobering & inspiring.

[@williamkennison8920]

Lars, when it comes to local history. You are one of the few people that shows honest respect and awe for what these objects show and the way the people overcome the adversity of what comes at them. Maybe you need to become a museum caretaker when you're too old to get out in the woods.

[@2199SPUDMAN]

The day Lars is too old to get out and get it done is the day we bury him, I'm afraid! He's got lots of grand pink-ninjas to train yet though, so we're OK for now. Right, Lars? 😁

[@KnolltopFarms]

Coffee and Survival Russia makes for an excellent Sunday morning!

[@milcotto4153]

There must be quite a few friendly locals in your area, Lars. It looks like they wanna help you out in every possible way they can. Now that's a blessing. They even want you to make good KZbin videos. How about that. It is very nice of that guy to lend you the selfmade double barrel and the other things so we can learn about how things were made and used back in those days, and what they had to do to survive under tough conditions. I am very impressed by the fact that he made that double barrel himself. Nice work. I bet he is proud of it. Lars knew many of us would be interested in learning about this, even those of us who are not hunters. I find most antiques and older objects fascinating. I have a couple of old swedish lead bullet pliers somewhere. I believe they are hand forged. You melt the lead and make one bullet at a time with them. I would like to know more about what they had to do to survive in the villages in Siberia. What food did they have, what did they cook, stoves, kitchen utensils, tools, guns, fishing rods, traps, houses and clothes. You name it and I would like to know more about it, I am sure. Lars, you look like you are sitting up there somewhere on a pink cloud with that blissful expression on your face, holding that double in your arms. We might have to get you one of those. We want you bak down here on earth so you can show us exactly how versatile that double barrel is. Thank you good neighbor of Lars, and thank you Lars for another awesome video.

[@jimmilne19]

I live in Greenland and understand your fascination (and respect) for the hunters' tradition of "make do on the fly". The hunters here know how to repair anything with anything anywhere in any kind of weather anytime. It is also truly fascinating how the hunters 100 years ago even survived. Kayaks, skin boats, harpoons of all sorts, maps made of wood and so on. Awesome, as you would say. I enjoy your videos and although we have no trees whatsoever here in Greenland, I still enjoy even the fire-making videos. Well done and enjoyable to the max.

[@fredthorne9692]

THANK YOU! The old hammer side by side, used just you said, is the most reliable tool for harvesting four legged and winged "fast food." Fast because, with practice, accuracy and speed can be developed. I have my grandfather's hammer side by side. When the springs broke, he rigged the hammer with rubber bands. Worked great, but it has long since been repaired. I never thought someone else had the same opinions about the "old reliable." Super-Epic-Awesome.

[@ImixSpb]

The shotguns TOZ family have always had quite a reputation in the market, as was any products of the Tula Arms Plant for three centuries.

[@fredthorne9692]

Master Tracker - Thanks for the advice. Yes, the recipe for black powder is sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter. I have a friend who muzzle loads and makes his own powder and shot. Not for me, like you said, one mistake is a quick trip to kingdom come. You have a great week too friend.

[@ImixSpb]

Master Tracker - Yes I know. Not for nothing Tula has the unofficial name 'Armory capital of Russia' ))

[@fredthorne9692]

ImixSpb - Hello Igor, I was not aware. They sound as if they were true works of art like the gun Master Tracker described.

[@ImixSpb]

Fred Thorne - Hi! Tula gunsmiths make shotguns on individual orders, by the way. You can get a real artwork from them.

[@Eli-ne3vu]

These anecdotes and slices of life of Russia are my favorite :D Thank you :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you too Eli :)

[@fredbasset1711]

During the depression in the rural U.S. many families east or the Mississippi got much of their meat with a single shot .22 rifle and a single shot shot gun.

[@OKBushcraft]

Fred Basset My family used .22s and shotguns in Oklahoma, but mostly the .22. The big game was virtually wiped out before the depression. Deer were still unusual to see in my area of the state even into the 70s.

[@calvinmientke3539]

Around Wisconsin it is from the truck grill to the B-B-Q grill.

[@fredbasset1711]

Around our part of Illinois it was .22 single shot rifles because .22 shorts were less expensive than long rifles. A single shot shotgun from the hardware store or Sears catalogue was an option but shells were much more expensive. Some folks shot quail with.22 shorts.

[@whitetiger432]

Fred Basset yep squirrel dumplings... we hunting squirrels with 22s and deer with shotguns... My dad was in the military had nine kids we ate a lot of Wild game... my dad also hunting deer with a bow...

[@crimsonbear9336]

South Alabama gulf coast here, my Great Grandfather put meat on the table,for his 9 children and GGM, with single shot 410 and single shot 22. I'm here so I looks like we survived. My Grandfather, the oldest,trapped wild quail and picked wild blueberries to pay for 16 gauge double barrel when he was old enough to take over hunting duties. So I guess what I'm sayin is u don't need a gun that shoots 11teen time to put meat on the table.

[@chrisosh9574]

You can't beat an old double barrelled hammer gun for walking up some dinner. When I lived in the UK we would often go out early on a Sunday morning to walk up pigeons or rabbits, (nothing much bigger that you can rough shoot in the UK unfortunately). Most of my friends had pumps and autos but I always took either an old Cogswell & Harrison 12 bore or an ancient Belgian 20 bore with 3" chambers. The 20 was light and perfect for pigeon coming out of old treed hedgerows. We also used to shoot rooks which I think are protected now in the UK, Wikipaedia tells me they are all across Russia, in the old days they were a poor mans meat for a pie, most people thought they were carrion eaters and would taste poorly but in my opinion they make a good pie, they eat mostly insects and worms as well as cereals.After a good day I used to leave a few by my neighbour's door, in return she would leave a pie made from some of them by my door. An interesting video, life must have been quite uncertain after peristroika.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you for good comment :) I once tried a single barrel 20g. That was a comfy light hunting arm indeed. Very interesting about the Rook, and yes, we have a lot of them around here :)

[@chrisosh9574]

Thank you for such interesting videos, the least I can do is like and comment. My wife is Russian from Zhukovsky, I am hoping to get time to visit her family and then to get out into the country to have a look around. Your videos are making me even more determined to go. Here is an English rook pie recipe that might interest you; forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/4354-rook-pie/ . The 3" chambered 20g gives you a bit less lead in the air but about the same range so you need to be a reasonable shot, the big advantage is if you are covering a lot of ground on foot it is a lot lighter and very fast to bring up. I expect you can get 20g slugs in Russia so it is even useful for deer or small pigs but I bet the recoil is quite fierce with such a light gun firing a slug.

[@isserfiq]

Would love to see how they reloaded those shells with scarce supplies and equipment. Perhaps you can get your village friend to show us how he made lead shot in a pan. Local fishing methods and traditions might be an interesting video subject as well.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I will try and do a video :)

[@robertfoote3255]

If that old "smoke pole" could talk...imagine the stories it could tell....the memories it could share!!!! That would be truly AWESOME!!!! Nice cool rainy morning under the gazebo, you just need a hot cup of coffee...great "start" to the morning! 😀😀

[@thetazman666]

Every show is a learning experience

[@jack5862]

LOVE this video! My favorite item was the shell carrier. I love how the belt has been repaired continuously over time. It's like an old friend that's survived a million adventures with you!

[@Druetty]

So an ink jet and a laser all in one printer! Definitely awesome. LOL

[@markw999]

100 years from now you could take that old shotgun out and still use it to put food on the table. Awesome piece of history and you are totally correct, best "survival tool" out there. Whenever there's an auction near me from an old farm I try to attend for the same reason you love that old shotgun. Those "old school" relics that survive met the need at hand, be they tools or guns or cookware. And often in hard times, the truly useful stuff was tested in ways we don't usually have to anymore. The modern equivalent is usually disposable crap.

[@thekitteyaden5665]

I live in America and my personal two favorite guns I own are the Mossien and Mac. Thats a beautiful shot gun

[@petesheppard1709]

A HUGE advantage of a simple printer like that is ease of repair and not being dependent on relatively fragile parts like magazines. Given your shop skills, you could likely fabricate just about any part of that double. There's also the advantage that the printer is not dependent on the quality of cartridges to function.

[@dansummerfield9390]

I have a Baikal TO3-54-12 side by side here in Australia, Made in the USSR ;) I love it but unfortunately the barrels have been shortened due to some previous damage. It's still a legal length coach gun but I hope to find some replacement barrels to bring it back to it's former glory and make it a more useful shotgun. keep up the great video's, cheers..

[@tombob671]

You have proven the old saying "necessity is the mother of invention " 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Joe-wy2bn]

It's dry and windy here; the forest is burning again. Man, I haven't seen a rainy day like that in a loooooooong time.

[@zettle2345]

Each weapon has it's own advantages and disadvantages... If you add in home loading, you bring in a whole new set of problems to overcome. I like the respect you show on this channel, Necessity is the Mother of all inventions. Use what you have, it's been said before, the best gun to have is the one you have with you, when you need it. Thanks Lars, good guns

[@semco72057]

I have a 12 gauge pump shotgun, and a 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun also. I also have a modified AK-47 which is in the semi auto version and made in China. I got this gun for home defense, and purchased a Sturm Ruger Mini-14 assault rifle also. That is a semi-auto rifle and is for home defense as well. I have a .55 caliber muzzle loader rifle which I have only used for target practice, but is a nice gun. When it comes to handguns, I first bought a .22 caliber pistol which I still have, but was damaged when it was stolen. I later purchased a .357 magnum pistol, and then the 9mm semi-auto pistol. I don't hunt any longer, but keep these guns for self defense at home.

[@sosteve9113]

this was very informative,and a very awesome family historical piece thanks for showing Lars

[@2CabrasLocas]

Great piece of history there!

[@lumberjackoutdoors933]

Cool vid Lars! I also love seeing these old workhorse guns that people used to put food on the table back when the grocery store wasn't an option. Cool gear, if only it could talk - the stories it could tell!!

[@GI.Jared1984]

I love the old side by side hammer actions

[@JamesLee-lk4kx]

This was a truly great video,so much history in your hands.thank you Lars.

[@Dusty357]

For me a shoot alot of rabbit and wood pigeon for the pot all a use is a..22 air rifle pre-charged nematic and also a springer, but that is just my own personal choice to use a air rifle, full on stealth mode 😉

[@smokeclouds8]

Thank you for the hunting video, I hope we all have a good season.

[@Wastelander13]

I like those " get-by" videos a lot! I hope you make more of it! Cheers!

[@rayjones153]

Great piece of local history! Thank you for sharing as always. My grandparents hunted and farmed for subsistence/survival. I hunted many times with them using 22/410 over-under. Not as fast on the hammer as the double-barrel shotgun, but took a lot of rabbits and doves home for the stew.

[@GaerHampton]

I told my wife that I needed to get a scatter-print printing tool, as then I would have all my printing bases covered (even if my big printer is a 1935 Mosin Nahant). She said that I'd have to get rid of my outdoor stuff catalogs and magazines first! :))

[@MrDavidrex]

Love the shot, nail , story. Covers a lot in principle. Thanks brother.very nice weapon, tool, I agree.

[@henryswope7734]

Wow. Such an Awesome video. Loved looking at all this stuff. Beautiful stock carvings on the 16g.

[@alexanderkolodziej4808]

Your 100% right :) I owned many gun types and I can tell that from my hunting experience the double barrel shotgun is the best survival gun. I would add 1 thing - a doubled trigger system also makes it less prone to failure and changining ammo types quietly is easy. You make great vids! Keep them coming :)

[@ROE1300]

Also agree. My CZ exposed hammer SxS 12 gauge is the firearm I would rely upon in a true survival situation. For all the reasons in your video and stated below.

[@MrStanwillis]

You are right, 100%! Thank you for the information.

[@Michelle-Eden]

Thanks for another interesting video. Looks like autumn is late in Siberia too (Maine is still mostly green, although the corporate weathermen predict a cold winter). A warm winter to you and all your trolls; good hunting!

[@karllowry488]

Each piece has its own little story it's captivating 👍

[@Toad_Hugger]

Awesome video as always Lars! That's a really neat TOZ! It's pretty cool seeing stuff that's got a lot of history to it. Pretty impressive stock for being handmade! And it's got a dog engraved on it, too! Oh, and when you borrow something from someone, they'd be lending it to you. English can be strange. Yeah, you've really got to get one of those double barrels! They look very nice, especially this one. I'll look forward to the SRV video!

[@kristokirov]

Fantastic video! Love this kind of thing!

[@NSRon]

Love this kind of videos!

[@williamcarson2478]

Very interesting, excellent video as usual. Thanks.

[@regularfather4708]

Shotguns in general are the most flexible guns you can own. Here in the US I can have all manner of weapons, but if it comes down to it, if I could only have one gun for the rest of my life, I'd choose a shotgun. My personal favorite is a mossberg pump shotgun, but the single shot break action holds a special place in my heart.

[@Mark-cv3ne]

Great video , love seeing how people got by during hard times to take care of their families. I am working on my skills of fishing and hunting also .

[@redlock4004]

You are a man after my own heart. I much prefer old things especially if they are mechanical like firearms. Folks made do in hard times and now we have it so easy. I think the hardest times of all are yet to come and they are going to be here soon. Raise your son and daughter to be self sufficient and tough. They will do well if I judge by your videos.

[@iaminflatable]

nailed it, nice work.

[@eqlzr2]

Hey, Lars. Love those old shotguns. One of the early settlers to this area on the US West Coast walked all the way across country with a black-powder double-barrel shotgun as his only firearm. That gun is a beauty and it's hanging in one of the museums downtown. I think it was essentially a 20 gauge. I don't have a 20 gauge, but I do have an over-and-under Beretta in 28 gauge. Real easy on the shoulder and a delight to carry. Good enough for everything up to and including pheasant and even turkey with a head shot. Beautiful engraved gun, and I love shooting skeet with it. Reloading for it is very economical. I also have a single-shot Rossi 20 gauge with a collapsible stock, ghost-ring sights, a sling, and Chiappa caliber adapter inserts for .45 Long Colt/.410, .38/.357 Magnum, .22 LR, .45 acp, 9mm, 40 S+W. Real handy gun that shoots pretty much to point of aim at 25 yards or so. I guess it's my SHTF gun.

[@Dusty357]

Brass shotgun shells wow fantastic them in 40 years a have never seen a brass shot gun shell, cheers Lars. Take care Liam

[@123karlw]

I like your comments on the differences. I prefer a double barrel as well. Also less moving parts and less to fail

[@anthonywilliams6906]

Great video Lars, I have an old Steven's 16ga dbl barrel, it is sweet lol, with that you can shoot slugs on left barrel full choke and on right modified choke for buck shot, my grandfather found it in the woods.

[@theblissfullone]

This was awesome, Lars ... to see and hear of this history. Important information, as well. Thanks for sharing this.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you too!

[@theblissfullone]

You're most welcome my friend. I meant to add, please thank the man who lent it to you as well. :-)

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

I love the history mate, truly, you can really appreciate the connection to the owner and past. I would love to sit down and take a beer with that old timer for sure. Thanks for sharing mate and yes, i agree. I have the Adler 7 shot lever action but for shooting game or taking birds for the bag it's my old trusty side by side, 12G. Cheers Moose.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Old-timers know a lot of interesting things :)

[@candacepatterson4623]

Older is better!! Easy for anyone to use, and always works better!!! Great review👍

That's smart, having different barrel setups.

[@combatjm89]

Great video Lars, just signed up on Patreon!

[@Wylder955]

You and I have vastly different ideas and opinions on some gear or some subjects but i really enjoy the videos mostly because the way you present it not like some other people here on youtube always going on about how their way is the best. As a general rule it does not matter if i like it or not it's always a good idea to have different information and compare. My grandfather had the side by side he liked it me on the other hand prefer the modern.

[@rodneybetts6086]

Looking at actual Historical Hunting equipment is very Awesome. Thank you Lars and Thank your Friend for letting us see his Treasures..

[@SurvivalRussia]

All my pleasure, but thanks :)

[@shack456]

Very awesome history!

[@citizen1114]

I've a twenty gage double and I agree with you 100%. I'd take that with me over any other firearm in a survival situation. I love old kit. I was lucky enough to inherit everything from old percussion rifles to modern pieces from my Grandad. By the way those slugs are fantastic. I wish I knew where I could get some.

[@tomritter493]

Love that double that's all I use got a short bbl double and a long bbl they are great weapons just plain classics asa you said buck and ball for small stuff I Cary no.4 and 6 love email thanks its always great to see the oldies take care brother

[@allengrant]

Awesome Video !!. As a long-time re-loader, I'm reminded how much easier I have it now (and I ain't no young-un!), as opposed to my dad and grandpa, back in the day. Loved the history lesson.

[@normplatt7549]

Another U tube Winner! Good luck!

[@whitetiger432]

Lars I really enjoy your videos and I learned a great deal from them...

[@chapiit08]

The main disadvantage of the semiauto shotgun would be that it exclusively needs modern type shells to work properly whereas a single shot or double gun can digest practically any kind of load including black powder. In a SHTF scenario any individual with sufficient skills to manufacture his own reloading components including primers would never be forced to watch his gun become idle collecting dust in a corner.

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

I have read some place that when the West was being settled (the Cowboys and Indians West), the most common Printer in use didn't spin a Cylinder nor use a Lever, but it had Two Barrels! Hunting, Home Defense it truly is a Survival Multi-Tool. But the Skills required to make them nowadays have priced them out of reach of the Common Man. But not to worry! New Single Barrel Printers can be found almost anywhere in the States for about $150. And there are/were lots of Videos on KZbin on how to make them Survival Food Gatherers. Dave Canterbury had a whole series on how to make them, how to convert them to Muzzle Loaders, Cut Shells, Wax Shells, blahblahblah. Oh, Helpful Hint Time. If one needs Lead, pick up a bag or two of #8 or #9 shot and melt that down into Slugs or Double Ought. It's already Premixed. Take Care.

[@genegarren833]

Incredible stock and shotgun. Nice cover from the rain you have built. That belt is had a long history. Shotguns were sometimes used in Vietnam by the man walking Point. I used to hunt ducks with a 4-10 single shot shotgun. I could shoot them out of the air in flight. A shotgun like the old classic that you demonstrated was often used alot by country folks where I grew up and all over the US. Great video and beautiful weapon. Thanks so much buddy.

[@shadowcastre]

Atleechna!! The old double hammer guns have always been meat getters and still are today. I discovered your channel and really like that there is no bad obnoxious music, or any BS. I'm subbed!! Spasiba for the video..

[@LpMcQuack]

I agree that is a beautiful double barrel I love seeing family history and how people did things in hard times..... It seems that a lot of people are unaware of how quickly our world can be thrown back 50 to 100 years by War terrorist attack natural disaster.... And just having a basic understanding of the kind of things that you show us would help people in such situations awesome video lars

[@donrussell8889]

I've fired about 1/4 million rds, most of it on combat pistol competition practice, but many of thousands of rds at birds and critters, with a .22lr rifle, as a kid and young man.

[@JS-ul3ic]

Great video lars and to be able to talk to the old guys who have lived through hard times and have the knowledge they are a dying breed and will be sorely missed I can see the look in your face it as if you had won the lottery enjoy my friend all the best

Spot on John :)

[@patrickgermond2750]

Thanks for the link

[@gordonmiller4439]

Oh, very nice side by side, Lars! I absolutely love the dog carved into the stock. Would it be possible to do a video interview with the old hunter and put English subtitles in the video. I'll wager most of your subscribers would be fascinated by what he would have to say about providing food for his family with the side by side.

[@markashlock8058]

I actually never thought about the shell combination advantage of a double barrel in a true survival situation,. And here I was afraid I wasn't going to learn anything new today ; ) Gives me a whole new appreciation for my old double. Thanks!

[@SurvivalRussia]

This is an all-important advantage. You can shoot a Grouse in flight or a Moose on the ground, if loaded for it :)

[@sgwknives2184]

Nice one. Really interesting, Love the ingenuity which used to be common place, long lost along with common sense.

[@rexochroy2]

It is a beautiful printer and I have had the pleasure of seeing som handcrafted and this has so much character. ❤

[@brianlarkin5246]

Wow lovely old hammer gun, you got a new sub from Ireland 🍀 I came across a Russian pump action in a firearm dealer over here it was an MP something! I think and you would probably know it's the model the us wouldn't import, anyway I missed out on it 🙄and bought a mossberg 835, gun law is very strict here but a legal 3.5 chamber 5+1 was too good to miss out 😊

[@kevins1114]

One of the things I like about Double barrel and single shot shotguns over pumps and semi-autos is that you can use cartridge adapters in them. I keep a single shot 12 Gauge, and have a large assortment of adapters which allow the use of many pistol and small rifle cartridges in that gun, thus greatly increasing its versatility. But, I don't know how well that would work in Russia, considering the restrictions on handguns and their ammo.

[@RM-io7qo]

Super video, Lars. Take care...

[@YXUHUNTER]

Thank you for the video! Unbelievable how people managed the hard times! They just came up with ideas how to survive! Today no cell phone and no apps no go!

[@darrellgoss9291]

Enjoyed your vid. Love the old shot gun and hand made stock. In the states we call that generation around WWII The Greatest Generation. They have so many great stories and knowledge that is lost today. Both my grandparents served in WWII, it is interesting that both also owned and preferred 16 guaged shotguns. I wonder if that was the norm across the world for that generation. Fan from Louisville, Kentucky USA

[@161Sheriff]

Love the 16 gauge.

[@black_jackledemon6298]

(Texas, USA) If I was only allowed to have 1...Remington 12ga. Bolt action "goose gun" is the one of mine I would keep. It's chambered to fit any size 12ga. and I've had it long enough I can put a light load and a heavy load bird shot between my fingers and slap in the one I want. Get my limit of dove more often than many that way because I can reach out further that way. ( Just don't get them mixed up or it's just a poof! of feathers and I don't waste shells or meat.) 😊👍

Fed video Lars 🤙🏻

[@alfonsocasillas7290]

Awesome video great stories

[@guga_man]

Hey Lars! Good video with good story! And if only "meal maker" not supposed to take meal directly from other people in urban area, then simplicity is definitely the way to go

[@jimf1964]

That's one beautiful old shotgun. A real beauty. I'd have to say a 22 and a shotgun are tied for meal makers in my opinion, but only because 22 ammo is so cheap, so small and easy to carry and stock. If not, I'd say the shotgun was a clear winner.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks! I really like the .22 as well :)

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks Lars, old school wins again !

[@sheltowee8079]

Love the double barrel shotgun with the custom stock.

[@logicaredux5205]

Yes, I saw one of Sergei's videos where he was hand loading those brass shells. Very fascinating! I'd like to try that myself. I have also a very simple single shot break action shotgun that could use those. It also has a very long barrel, and I think it is that long sight radius that makes it the most accurate shotty I own. It was also the cheapest shotgun I own, but I will never let it go.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Single shots are great. Close to everybody here uses these brass shells. They last forever almost :)

[@edwardleroy7648]

Outstanding!

[@waveydaveyspoonerbooner205]
