Most people in the USA don’t want to live in the woods in a cabin. For many years we had no ambulance at all. We recently got emergency services. I live in a national forest with no shops and such. I understand most people in all countries really do not want to live like this. However it’s beautiful and peaceful here and around here we do things the old fashioned ways. Thank you for the insight into this subject!

I would love to live in a cabin in the woods and I am an American!

I worked with several people that had second homes in the woods of Maine and New Hampshire. My friend sold the home he lived in near the city to buy a home on a lake when he retired. He drives 12 miles to get to a shopping area. Many of the cottages near beaches were summer homes that did not have heaters for winter. I stayed in one just a year ago. I froze when Temps dipped into the fifties at night. The town turns the water off to the entire area to prevent pipes from freezing in middle of October, will turn in back on come Spring. Americans love their summer homes.

[@JenniOlsen-t1r]

I will say that I drive an hour to get to a Walmart or 40 minutes to get to a small grocer…but it’s a beautiful drive! I own the land including some timber acres but it is absolutely part of a National forest. If you want to live like this you had better be willing to fend for yourself essentially.

Thank you Valeria and Aleks. Beautiful despite the warm winter.

[@patticallihan8515]

Beautiful to see your Dacha home and garden again. I love hanging out there with you , Alex, Sheffield . It’s so peaceful and different to living in the city . I certainly understand why many Russian families try to own one. I really enjoyed going a walk with both of you today. The weather was lovely and it was so pleasant. Have a wonderful rest of your day together. Drive home safely. Love and a Big hug 🤗 🐕‍🦺to Sheffield 🐈🐢. Have a lovely evening tonight keep warm and cozy. Good night to you Valeria, Alex Thank you for you your lovely video. 💖🙏🐕‍🦺🐈🐢🥱😴 💤 XXX

[@michaelgiancola1379]

Can you use a wood burning stove to heat your summer house?

[@differentrussia.]

We don't have it in our house, but many people do so. They buy wood and heat the houses.

[@hippieista7323]

Thanks!

[@differentrussia.]

Thank you so much for your support ❤️

[@noddy8607]

Thank you Olga for an interesting video. I prefer cold weather to hot weather so I am sure I could live in Russia

[@differentrussia.]

Thank you! We are very happy you liked the video 😊

[@SteveMikre44]

I love trips to Alex and Valeria's dacha anytime of the year...❤👍

[@differentrussia.]

Thank you Steve. ❤️ I wish we can live ☀️ at dacha constantly this summer

[@Timzart7]

We call a ready house a "prefab," which is short for prefabricated. The term for building a house board by board on site, like most houses are built, is called stick-built. Your English is excellent though and it's always calming to listen to your voice.

[@carolynsilvers9999]

There are lots of ticks in Central United States. I also don’t walk through forests. My Mother caught Lyme disease from a tick bite.

[@therose5138]

My goodness Valeria, it looks like springtime in Russia!! Beautiful sunny day!! In Ontario, Canada, we have two metres of snow in our front yard! ❄️🥶

[@RusGirlVlog]

Greetings from Chelyabinsk and from our -18°C. Springtime in Russia? I doubt it. If it's warm in Moscow region, it doesn't mean it's the same in the whole country.

[@tabuhurt1593]

Hi Val and Alex☺️!

[@differentrussia.]

Hi Tabu. Have a great week 😀

[@jilljackson548]

The music is nostalgic and reminds me so much of my family in Kentucky ❤❤❤

[@lizanderson1669]

Wow, grass in February. I'm here in Ontario, where I live we have about 2ft of snow, and it has been snowing all day

[@lizanderson1669]

I pay about 4 dollars for a 5 pound bag of potatoes, and that's a sale ,5 dollars for butter on sale 7 for milk

[@irmavalkeapaa5928]

Kiitos paljon,Valeria ja Alekes.oli taas mukava olla matkassa mukana.❤❤

[@schoolsgirl]

Love it! Thank you for sharing. For moles, we tried all sorts of products, including those vibrating things. Only thing that worked was used kitty litter without the nasty bits. I share with neighbors because our moles moved to their backyards😂 You may also want to use raised beds for veggies. I have much better results with them. It was also interesting seeing the different types of fences.

[@joanmatchett8100]

In England we have allotments, plot's of land people can rent to grow vegetables on and keep chickens. You can build a shed, but you can't stay there. Some people have caravans on caravan park's for holiday's, some have barge's.

[@amyfaith2350]

I hate cities. Grew up in one. Most Americans want to get out of them.

so nice to have a place out of town to spend time

I thought it was because there are proper roads, gas in homes and indoor toilets.

Adoro ver vídeos assim, pois eu moro no Rio de Janeiro e a sensação hoje é de 40⁰C. Eu nunca vi neve, mas o meu corpo já se adaptou com o verão extremamente quente e um inverno que nunca fica abaixo dos 15⁰C.

[@lawrencemitchell5983]

We had some ice and snow ❄️ here in The South a few weeks ago, but shorts and short sleeves today (27' C). Greetings from balmy Georgia 🍑.

[@lawrenceveinotte]

Thanks for the video, are there homes out in the country, not in a village? 10 to 100 hectares.

[@Cali_Slav96]

Yes. But from my knowledge those beautiful estates were inhabited by boyars. Also Stalin’s urbanization project transplanted millions of russians from rural life so i imagine its like, lets say, here in the united states idk could be wrong.

[@HurricaneWeasel]

We have many rules. You can't just sleep in a tent in the woods. You would need permission from the owner of the wood. And only, when the area is not protected. ⛺ And no fire (there are few exceptions). And no long knife. 🤔 No pocket knife, that can be opened with one hand. Well, as I said...many rules. 😅 But they are there, mostly for good reasons. We are many people in a small country. Most parts of our nature are cultivated. So it is necessary to protect the remaining "wild" parts from overuse.

[@JenniOlsen-t1r]

Thank you for the insight

[@RusGirlVlog]

The owner of the wood??? 😮😮😮😮 The woods there belong to someone??? 😮😮😮

[@HurricaneWeasel]

@@RusGirlVlog Yes, you can own woods in Germany.

[@RusGirlVlog]

@HurricaneWeasel 😮

[@JenniOlsen-t1r]

@@RusGirlVlogI own the land including timber acres but it is still part of a National forest. I believe the land was privately owned before it was designated a National forest but it is actually pretty common in the US to have this situation.

[@Lia-oh9dg]

Why such a high fences around the houses?

[@Cali_Slav96]

My guess is snow buildup and animals but thats a good question.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

Privacy

[@ann3856]

It looks nice. You must be wearing special shoes.

[@frankintx699]

🙏🙏❤❤👍👍

[@soliel8999]

Can you purchase a plot of woods and use the wood to heat your home?

[@Effie4106]

It seems strange to me to see so many fences. In the USA we do not have so many fences.

[@BAtadCrazy]

👍

[@sgt.pembry9688]

Maybe I missed something but haven't seen your son in quite a while. Is he well?

[@izibear4462]

Was thinking about Alexei the other day...

[@soliel8999]

Can you heat with wood in the dacha community?

[@bensmith5413]

How far away is your Dacha from your apartment. Is it a long drive that makes it difficult to visit or is it close and so you can go for the weekend?

[@differentrussia.]

Our dacha is not far. But many people prefer to have dachas for from the place where they live. 2-3 hours by car

[@beachnmountains]

What part of Russia is this?

[@RusGirlVlog]

Moscow region.

[@eerieforest9188]

Does Russia have open, rural communities like the US does? I just see videos of cities, towns, dachas and then someone in the absolute wilderness. Why the seeming endless tall fence?

[@linda9918]

They have many small villages and most are the poorest of people. Moscow is a world of its own. The rest of the bigger towns in the east of Moscow certainly don’t look like that.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

Fences are for privacy

[@em1osmurf]

berries of any kind here (virginia) you are competing with raccoons.

[@RoyBohannon]

Very depressing area😂

[@differentrussia.]

Maybe. But psychologists say you "see" what is inside you.
