Stranded In Russia's Creepiest Village
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 14. 11. 2019
- đ·đș People often ask how I get around Russia, well often I hitchhike from town to town. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes I discover a weird place I'd rather not be in...
''Drop me at the border please!''
*gets dropped at the border*
''I'm stranded at the border!!''
âIs everything ok with youâ after all his videos this guy was the first one to ask him.
good police guys, probably some of the car drivers phoned in a stranded stranger on the road lolz
This dude is really just walking around in an empty DayZ server
The way the cop asked âare you okâ in Russian sort of insinuates âare you ok in the headâ đ
Bald is doing the film industry a huge favour. He is giving them set location ideas for Zombie Apocalypse movies.
đ€Łđ€Ł
Ur wild for this
Bald: To make things easier, I've hired a taxi to strand me in the middle of nowhere.
It just amazes me how confident he is walking around in the middle of nowhere in a completely abandoned village. Sometimes I get lost in my own city ffs.
That taxi driver called the cops on you.
"Let's goto Kalmikya"
*Takes one step*
"We're in Kalmikya"
*police arrives*
"Wow! I'm already arrested"
Typical Russian day
They needed to see, Is bald western spy?
*police verifies bald*
Bald: Jai matadi
he hasn't unlocked it yet xD
Policeman: "Hello! What happened?"
Police is everything ok? .. leave him stranded 40km from the nearest town.
You know what's more creepy? The whole comment section that has thousand likes doesn't have replies at all
"I have a son and a daughter, what more do I need ?"... wow. That was... powerful. Somehow.
Richest man on Earth.
Mr Bald sees an old woman absolutely anywhere
âAh, Babushka!!â
Its true because you will never find an older lady who has never had kids. Tgey dont live their lives like women in america and other leftist countrys
The place with the car husk and all the empty bottles literally looks like it could be a location in a Fallout game
nah, it was just some dudes backyards whos only hobby is drink vodka :D
Iâve never seen a man more happy about being stranded
The 2nd guy who picks him up and saying he has a son and daughter what more does he need in life. What a true fucking legend, if only everyone was that happy.
Watching these videos is like reading a good book.
You can imagine how the mongols once rode their horses on these plains.
Me: loses my shit when i miss the last busride home (40minute walk)
Bald: gets out of the taxi in the middle of nowhere and hopes for the best
The population density is weird watching from india
A ride and a beer?
That's not a stranger, that's a friend
"Soviet" count for today's video: A paltry 3. This is unacceptable.
Totally!
Strive for zero next time
Ikr
There were 2 of them after he left the village, like 2/3 before and i'm only at 18:11
shroompicker23 Howâre we supposed to get drunk on three lousy shots?
love how the receptionist saw this bald man and her first answer was "the luxury is 3000 rubles" straight for the pockets she knew he was a tourist lol
This is more entertaining than NetFlix.
Ahhww, we pressured mr bald to stop saying the word soviet, kinda feel bad
haha yeah peer pressure. Kind of ruined my trip now ))
@@baldandbankrupt we want the soviet word back please đ
@@baldandbankrupt NO KEEP SAYING IT WE LOVE IT
@bald and bankrupt You're as Soviet as one can get. So it's totally normal for you to use the word.
vlogs not quite the same without hearing the word Soviet every couple minutes lol :)
"Say the line, Bald"
"soviet"
*audience cheers*
Why did he tell the taxi to leave him in the middle of nowhere tho
this makes me wanna quit life and roam around Russia
"I'm in the middle of nowhere, CHECK IT OUT!"
To say that with such enthusiasm đ
Being in MiddLe of Nowhere and Asking " Where is Everyone"...!?
đđđ
Bald logic
And of course, he finds a war memorial in the middle of nowhere and its full of flowers. That's Russia, everywhere people pay tribute to the past.
Imagine being a cop and finding an englishman in the middle of nowhere ..just existing It is a bit suspicious lol :D Also Chulchuta is a really desperate sight
Bald the only man who get's in a taxi and says, drop me off nowhere near anywhere!
Other people worry bout getting home he worrys about getting as far away from it no fucks đ€Ł
@@geniusj1841 well, actually, he headed west-ish, so away from east, sp technically, when he was heading from Astrakhan to Kalmykia, he was heading towards England in some way XD
btw I know you were joking, so don't quote me on that.
Silverfox hahahahaa
In the land far from nowhere.
The local cannibals licking their lips when they see Bald striding up to their village without a care in the world.
Time to vore bald
đđđđđ
"Mhh delicious english roast beef....:-)"
Do a map that shows every place in russia that you have visited. It would be nice.
You intentionally put yourself into situations that would give most people a panic attack and I have to respect that
Hello from Elista))
Former Kalmukian president claimed to be abducted by aliens, who taught him how to play chess. Absolute hero.
Can you share a link to that vid or article?
What I saw is his interview where he said that he doesn't care if somebody believes or not but aliens came straight to his apartment and offered him a cosmo voyage) which he actually accepted and then he travelled a lot and even saw their planet). When he returned his bodyguards didn't notice his absence as for them it was like a sec. But he didn't tell anything about the chess :).
This guy was prepared to walk a whole marathon to the nearest town and wasnât fazed in the slightest
"Thank you" "You thanked me too soon"........ That's a very Russian response to thank you.
This was pretty much Stalker: Shadow of Bald
Hahahaha totally
Man, this guy is crazy but his adventures are so cool.
This kind of videos make me think that how big the world is. And where am I, in my room, thinking that I know many places of this world.
Locals: We can drive you into the village
Bald: no, no, please drop me at the first road sign that bares it's name
so this is what it's like to not have anxiety
I love how you wave your hand like a 80s hostess to show us your world. đ
A smiling Englishman stranded on the border of nowhere happily reciting Jay Bola Ki to the police.
Priceless.
I wish I was as stress-resistant as this guy. He can enjoy every place in any circumstances. I would only be worried all the time about if I would be able to find food/hotels/busses/toilets and not enjoy the trip at all.
These cops are telling the boys at the station how there's a crazy brit standing in the middle o' nowhere smiling :DD
i learned more about the soviet union on this channel than I did in school
I agreed with you.
bald not closing the room door for like a whole minute really winds me up.
I'd be so scared in these parts of the world because of how uninformed I am. Even being informed I'd still be scared probably. Thanks for these vids, I started watching today, instant addict!
Bald:
Don't say it
Don't day it
Don't say it
Don't say it
Don't say it
Bald: SOVIET!
Lemmi he said it đ
Im gonna say a bad word.
Why not?) if it is SOVIET
lol
Am I the only one that is always amazed at what a tiny bag he carries on such voyages? Can we get a video on what you take on your trips with you?
Henrique Ferreira I always worry that he will run out of water đ
He didn't even have water. Now that's foolish
Henrique Ferreira Iâve always thought that x
I have a daughter and a son, what more do I need in life. wow. powerful.
The sign saying "Last Petrol station for the next 50 kms" Should have been a clue to you
You know a village is abandoned when there are no dogs running towards you and barking at you.
He has adventures in a single day which I haven't had in my entire life!
start living!
Your spirit of adventure is incredible.
Seeing Russia like this, like really seeing its large expanses of nothing and itâs two way highways.. really reminds me of America. Just wow lol
I want to see a video of Baldy returning to England. Would be an interesting contrast from his regular videosđ
@@gazriley624 "look old Soviet Tower Bridge! .."
"my mind is switching to survival mode"
Man....it took years to do that....lol
Imagine sitting and listening to Bald and his travel stories in the night with a bottle of vodka next to an old soviet campfire
This is my favorite freaking channel now. Incredible.
I laughed so hard when you got stopped by the police and they asked you "is everything alright"? Haha They couldn't possibly figure out what on earth was a random foreigner doing there, stranded in the middle of nowhere! đ
Mr Bald, I have to say what an adventure. You end up in a vilage that looked like something out of a western movie ... dead quiet and scary as f=Ă·k. Then on to some fantastic Russian monument and mural which always take my breath away, love old Russian stuff. And through the generosity of a few Russians you get driven to safety. What absolutely amazing generosity for a total stranger . .. love it. And then a cheap clean room to rest in. I love seeing the disposition of the locals ,the quizine and the beauty of the countryside. Well done
Yes was an interesting day. All the best mate.
@@baldandbankrupt i'd love to see a mini map on some of your videos, showing where you are, and where you travelled to that day, put some context to the vastness of Russia!
Genuine - yeah, I don't even know how to type these places into google to find it myself!
@@annother3350 i tried already for this video and failed đđłđ
12:43 Second part in Russian: "For the Motherland shed blood forever sacred in memory."
Dedicated to the soldiers of the 28th Army, who died in battles during the great Patriotic war. On the territory where the monument is located today, the advance of German troops towards Astrakhan was stopped.
Inside the obelisk on both sides of the through passage are niches in which information plates with the names of military formations that participated in the battle of Hulhut are placed.
On the right side of the obelisk are several mass graves, in which the fallen soldiers of the 28th army are buried, the remains of which are found in our time by search teams. At graves tablets with names of the victims are established.
I have to say the road looks suspisciously good
Sad to see Bald getting insecure about calling things Soviet :(
đđđ SOVIET!!!!!
"let's go and check it out" this is basically his catchphrase lol
The fallout looking village is located here:
46° 19âČ 1âł N 46° 22âČ 19âł E (Hulhuta in Kalmykia)
Bald: getting a job as a tour guide,
Manager: so what part of the world do you specialise in?
Bald: Yes
Does anyone else frantically search google maps for his location? Or is it just me? I love to see where heâs at each time
Jacob D always
Yes every time!
Following him on Google maps brings his videos always on another level for me!
This was pretty easy because of the Kalmykija border.
No but I should start doing so.
Wow. Great content! Definitely true to the word, "adventure". I mean, come on, you're dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Unknown territory to you. You come across some kind of beautiful history memorial in the middle of nothing. Abandoned town. Little cafe. Tours very old apartments. Receives rides from the generosity of strangers. Ends up in a pretty decent reasonably priced hotel! Love it!
His background is in intelligence right?? Mi5 or mi6, you can just tell he can look after himself also and has connections all over
I have an unhealthy level of interest in anything Soviet (more on the science and tech side but also other things). Your channel is a gem!!!
When Ben said that this room costs him 1200RUB while standing in the elevator, I couldn't help but be reminded of the Borat movie where he thinks the lift is his hotel room :D
Good one!
Fascinating, every video totally addictive, Iâve never been so entertained.
Watching this makes me imagine a russian dude just wandering around native american reservations lol doesn't look all that different
20:06 "Well I think that's it for today"
I almost yelled "NO" at my laptop. 20 mins literally flew by. I didn't want it to end.
Bald - youre awesome. You should go somewhere more exotic like a Siberian city, or maybe the coldest inhabited city Oymyakon!! That would be incredible.
The road to Kalmykia looked liked driving across Kansas, except more traffic.
From Overland Park to airport or to Iowa
Good lord, I drove from one end of Kansas to the other on my trip from Pennsylvania to Colorado in 2011. I was literally calling everyone I knew on my phone to try to keep from going insane. I thought I was going to run out of gas at one point because there were simply no exits for god knows how long. When I finally came to one, the "town" (and it was suggested as such from signs) was an abandoned diner and a gas station. Thank fuck the latter was still open. Lovely people working there though. Against seemingly all odds, I talked to a woman who was actually headed to a town in Pennsylvania where I have relatives.
Hey now' :[) LoL Least we don't have to have inspections on our cars :) it's a Free State "
I was leaning driving from Walsenburg (Colorado) northeast to Kit Carson
â@@42ndStreetMatthew Now imagine, here in Russia, we have almost every road looking like that. Thousand and thousand miles of wasteland and abandoned villages.
I'm 6'3 and weigh 20 stone, had countless fights, been stabbed twice and survived a category A prison and you wouldn't catch me cutting about a Russian village in the middle of nowhere like that for a gold pig. Fuck that he's braver than me đ
Love how Bald says "Zdravstvuyte" without a hint of accent
This shit is so fascinating coming from a dude in rural America. Wonderful to see warm welcoming people all around the world. Canât trust the stereotypes weâre taught here. This is some real shit. Keep it up Bald youâre the best.
Dude, you are legend. You are living my dreams, just traveling in the middle of nowhere in Russia.
Russia is an amazing country, there's a lot of beautiful hidden places & amazing places to visit
Not trying to be mean, everytime I watch one of these videos I'm surprised this guy hasn't been offed yet. How many Texas chainsaw esk situations can you throw yourself in.
"Everything ok?"
"Yeah, everything ok..."
few moments later
"I'M STRANDED!"
As a Dane you can only laugh at this video.
The truck there wasnât picking you up was driving for a danish company (DSV) and the beer you get is also danish hahaha
Well, now you know there's some part of Russia out there being Danish and Buddhist.
03:50
Police: Is everything okay? You need any help?
Bald: Yes, everything is fine. No problems whatsoever.
5 seconds later
Bald: I am stranded in nowhere, alone with no civilization
You stir my soul dude. If I were to go on a trip to some strange foreign land I would want you with me.
When an abandoned soviet village scares you more then trapsing around coca fields in Bolivia lol
Hey Bald, Astrakhan is my home town! At this time of year it's good to go fishing/hunting down in the delta if you like that kind of thing ofc.
The skies were so clean and blue over the steppes.
Dear bald and bankrupt, đđđCZcams Creators' Tourist Video of the Year Nomination
10:45 âtwo clicksâ MI6 confirmed
"An old abandoned house" does sadly not sound as cool as "An old abondened soviet house" :(
Every video I watch I get surprised on how heâs not dead yet
