- I still often remember how many times I tried to approach that magnificent mountain during the winter.The mountain named Velebit. Respected by the experienced strongly and forever. I have always greatly appreciated the wild creatures that manage to survive all those extremely harsh winters. (Pavle Balenovic)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------... Još uvijek se često sjetim koliko sam puta zimi pokušao prići toj veličanstvenoj planini. Imenom Velebit. Osobito i zauvijek poštivanoj od iskusnih. Uvijek sam jako cijenio divlja stvorenja koja nekim čudom uspijevaju preživjeti te izrazito oštre, duge zime. (Pavle Balenović)

Vec dva dana ok kada sam vidio film razmisljam o Vama, Liku i ovoj fascinantnoj prici..ovakav covjek kao Vi se ne radja cesto. Zelim Vam dug i sretan zivot gospodine Balenovicu.
Hvala puno na lijepim riječima i komentaru.
Drago mi je da vam se moje snimke sviđaju ... uživajte, nadam se da će ih biti još, uskoro.
Sve najbolje.
That's a magnificent video. Thank you for sharing with us your rich mountainous experiences.
Hope I will be able to upload some more extracts from my archive soon.
Thank you for watching and the comment. You are always welcome.
volim vidjeti da još uvijek pravi ljudi , ljudi s srcem i mudima , posjećuju nàjdraže mjesto ( jevreme kako bi Su rekao ) od našeg pokojnog Surle ...
živ mi bio Pavle
... iskreno, naježil sam se...reklo bi se ko vuk. Da, Surle nema više s nama. A Velebit?... još je uvijek tam a vjerojatno i Surla.
Evo, baš slučajno, nakon prilično dugo, dugo vremena jučer sam se vratil s Velebita ... Na samo 3 dana
tobože krenul u izvidnicu, provjeriti svoje stare staze onak bez obaveza ...udahnuti zrak ...
nisam niš ni namjeraval snimati no ipak četiri su nova medeka već u kameri. Uočeni su najviše zahvaljujući mom sinu koji za razliku od mene ima dobar vid.
A iskustvo koje zaboravljam i kojeg sam pomalo sve manje svjestan dovelo nas je zajedno u medvjeđa staništa.
Promjene klime se zbilja osjete i Velebit se mijenja. Zime nisu kakve su nekad bile a snijega je manje. Za čudo iako po buri izašle su i divlje svinje za dana.
Hladno je bilo spat u šatoru, valjda sam štedeći vodu koje sam premalo ponesel pomalo dehidriral. Teška je kad je u ruksaku na leđima.
A tekućine kak znaš, nikad dosta.
Čim sredim snimke objavil bum ih pa buš ih videl tu.
A ja? ...prisill bum se da smognem čim prije opet gore.
... vrijeme nam svima opasno prolazi... a godine čine svoje no noge me ipak nekak još služe.
Dobro te je čuti i iskreno, jako mi je drago da si se javil.

I can see that wolves are certainly capable of surviving in such harsh conditions, but what of a man? It seems to me that this man must be insane to try to film anything, let alone wolves during an intense blizzard. But then, this is an extraordinary man who never lets a little detail like his camera freezing, from completing what he sets out to do. I am completely in awe of you, my dear friend. Velebit needs to see you once again before it's too late. PLEASE MAKE IT SO. Time passes much too quickly.

It rained for days and then one windy night I fell asleep tired in a sleeping bag, wet feet leaning on the wolf ... The Lik's wet fur was not so cold or at least it seemed so to me. Dawn dawned white and the wind was much stronger.
It seems to me that I was not very normal, especially since I stayed for another four days in that storm. And that is mostly because the wolves were with me and Lik and did not leave us. It was sad to leave them ... in fact, we barely made it out alive. Luckily we found my old Land Rover and by some miracle the engine started. The way home was not easy at all. We barely descended from Velebit and the long road through the snow obstacles towards Zagreb was just waiting for us. I would have thought it was a dream but the camera filmed it until it lasted and then stopped responding from the cold. And here are the shots I saved.

What I forgot to mention...if the camera froze, what about your hands. And what about attaching chains to the wheels in that blizzard? You are really lucky that you didn't freeze your fingers.

Interesting but through all those wanderings I have never worn gloves for years. I just didn't need them. My pocket was enough to warm my hands. And when you mention putting on snow chains it was a real torment and horror. I remember putting the chains on the rear wheels first and off I went but the car didn’t go where I wanted it to. Only then did the chains need to be moved from the rear to the front wheels. Luckily the jeep has all-wheel drive so it’s possible to do that. But as I worked, a new problem arose. Lik was lying down and napping, almost buried in the snow all that time when I was changing chains. Wind was strong but not as much as when you lay down. When I tried to start him so that I could get him in the truch, he growled and almost attacked me angrily for disturbing his warm bed. He didn't want really to go anywhere and he was fine there. Still, I managed to force him to jump through the back door. There he soon became overheated and began to pant like a dog in the heat. And we finaly set off, but there was a long ascent through the snow, which is getting deeper and deeper higher we reach. Behind us the snow remained black from the unburned oil in the exhaust of the engine. And we came to that road where I was banging on the windows shouting to Lik: we got out, Lik! Night has already fallen, darkness comes earlier because the days are shorter at that time . Public roads are usualy closed in such the circumstances but I had to continue and fight against the winter the whole night through. At dawn we arrived to Zagreb.

Well, my dear, I did freeze my fingers, even with gloves on and after a little while the skin that got frozen peeled off and my fingers have been sensitive ever since. So as a Canadian living in a harsh climate during long winters and you living in a warm climate in Croatia, all I can say is that you are one tough dude. Putting chains on and off must have been the ultimate challenge. And Lik, I can still see him lifting his head and peering out from under a pile of snow...priceless. I still can't believe you stayed there for 4 more days, but then, that Velebit mountain has captivated you and will continue to do so until you die. At least when you decided to return to Zagreb, you both arrived safe but not sorry, having lived through conditions that no ordinary man would have endured, but as I said before, you are no ordinary man.

Very nice video really amazing, Odlično je uradjeno Pavle, koja ljepota je na velebitu stvarno super 🙏👀👍 sve najbolje želim i ljepi pozdrav 👍 Ljubo.
E moj Ljubo, za tebe sa sigurnošću znam koliko te ta veličanstvena planina impresionira.
Mene je doslovno zadivila ...možda i zbog korijena koje vučem iz tih krajeva.
Lijep pozdrav i hvala ti na komentaru. Budi dobro i čuvaj se.
@@PavleBalenovic Bome jee 👀👍 stvarno, ako bude sreće za petnaestak dana ću opet gore otici prošetati 😃😜ali ovaj puta bez moto opreme. Ako uspijem pronaći sta sam izgubio bit će opet o tome mali video 😃. Zdravi i veseli bili i veliki pozdrav svima. Ljubo
fascinantno
Ne znam kako bi nazvao to iskustvo i dal je sve bilo takvo da bi se moglo nazvati normalnim. No bio sam malo mlađi.
Odnos prema tim životinjama a posebno iskustvo s vukovima dalo mi je snage. Srećom iako nije izdržala kamera je ipak snimila dio tog događanja.
Hvala ti Damire na komentaru.
That is amazing footage Pavle!
After a few days of heavy rain, I fell asleep covered with a tent wing ... all wet and exhausted from long walks. Luckily in the morning everything turned to ice and my wet cover hardened. To my surprise, everything was white. I panicked and feared that I would find an old car, and if I succeeded, I would be able to start it because of the cold.
... still I do not know how did I manage to survive those days. Perhaps because wolves were around us ... Lik and me. This was why I decided 4 more days in that storm,
Thanks Monique.
@@PavleBalenovic that was extremely tough!
It's nice to see the origin winter nature of freezing coldness and bora.
In fact, they are real features of the cruelty of the wilderness, which is disappears.
Istina je da divljina polako nestaje no dal je to što si naveo ... okrutnost, ako sam dobro shvatio?
Sva ta zima, hladnoća, vjetar je zapravo ono što čuva divljinu i prirodu općenito.
Čovjeka natjera da se prema prirodi sa zasluženim poštivanjem odnosi.
Hvala ti Maks na komentaru i pozdrav.
hvala Vam što ste podijelili ...
Hvala tebi Ivica na gledanju. Puno je još snimaka arhivirano i čeka pripremu za objavu.
Jedino nisam siguran dal ću uspjeti objaviti onoliko da bi bio zadovoljan.
Ne znam koliko bi života trebao imati da bar donekle mogu reći ljudima: evo to je Velebit.
@@PavleBalenovic hvala Pavle ... bez brige, tvoj rad je uvijek super
Imate odlicna videa osjetis buru i njenu moc na snimci,zanimljiva i nadrealna svaka vam cast.pozz iz Splita
Zaista je lijepo je primiti ovakvu poruku.
Ni sam ne znam koliko sam godina proveo lutajući prirodom, onom najčišćom, divljom.
Vjerojatno me oduševila ... tako se kaže. Osobno sam naročito zavolio sva ona divlja stvorenja
koja uspjevaju preživljavati te iznimno teške čak surove uvjete za život.
A svojim sam snimkama a bez puno riječi uvijek pokušavao dočarati što istinitiju sliku vlastitih iskustava iz divljine.
Hvala puno na lijepim riječima.
@@PavleBalenovic Lik je stvarno poseban vuk bia.hvala vam na dijeljenju ovog a i drugih videa s nama.Velebit je velicanstven
wow. thank you for another fantastic clip. was the other wolf from Lik's family?
Oh yes , "Crni" how I named him. (Blacky, because he used to be the darkest one from all the cubs). There is a lot more to be said to discribe that clip decently. I risked my life. Because of his presence I decided to stay those four nights around that place. Nights were real hell and darkness lasted far to long. The last day at noon I decided to find my old truck and get the uper levels of the mountain and hit the road towards west. Lik didn't want to leave that place but he also didn't want to remain without me.
Thanks for the cxomment.
Pavle da li si ikada pomislio na to da si se previše uključio u njihov svet... mozda i narušivši njihive granice do te mere da si i njih ugrozio a i sebe.... svako dobro sam mislio ovim komentarom ❤
Zapravo, kad sam ih konačno odlučio pustiti i po cijenu svih rizika ni približno nisam očekivao da će me zapravo čekati da svi krenemo zajedno bez obzira kamo. Teško je bilo shvatiti da postaješ njihov ... svoju sam obitelj gotovo zanemario no očekivalo se da će to vremenom proći. U glavi mi je bio nezamisliv pakao. Različite su mi misli opterećivale razum. Teško je to uopće zamisliti a kamoli ispričati. Konačno, srećom, bio sam svjestan da osobno nisam u stanju ikad postati nit biti vuk.
Lik je toga odavno bio svjestan uočivši razlike između nas dvojice odavno. Brinuo je o meni kao što sam ja o njemu kad god bi posumnjali na opasnost. Na kraju, nikoga drugoga nije imao osim mene...
@@PavleBalenovic Sve mi je jasno, veliko saosećanje delim s tobom🙏🙏🙏
Lipa I krsna Lika - a vukovi ju lease
Upravo po toj našoj Lici "moj" je vuk dobio i nosio ime gotovo osamnaest godina svog života.
