    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.

    Ha! Must have been good for the old Viking blood to smell the Ocean as recompense for being away from the awesome wild Forest. Grandfather must have been laughing watching his little Lars tell the world about his fishing lessons. Super awesome.

    As a father of two multi-national children myself, I can feel your pain in dealing with the "paperwork" required by governments... Ugh! I have not tried to put myself across a creek or a ditch in this way since I was a child. I would need to do some very important trail runs before I really needed to do this, otherwise I would be one of those that you described as falling into the water! Enjoy your visit to Denmark, and get your paperwork sorted my friend!

    In the Netherlands (actually in the province of Friesland), stick jumping is called "Fierljeppen"

    I am not ashamed to have this skill, jumped a lot of ditches in my youth

    @po1retired Před 7 lety +3

    Ahh....Maybe that is why I like your video's so much. My Great-Grandfather was from around Frederikshavn. I don't remember exactly the name of the village. Just the stories of how he was a bad ass and so was my Grandfather. Danes are some hearty people. Must be the Viking blood!

  • @detroitredneckdetroitredne6674

    I remember doing that when I was a kid too I have have not done that hit in 40 years thank you for your adventures I really enjoy them

  • @bills6093
    @bills6093 Před 7 lety +1

    Nice video. Lars. This is something many of us have forgotten from childhood. With the stick taking some of the load, it should be easier on your ankles and knees when you have to make these crossings.

  • @littlebull8881
    @littlebull8881 Před 7 lety +2

    Lars in his Native but not so Native environment :)
    There are no Wolf or Bear' but you still managed to spot that sika/ fallow or whatever it was.

  • @tongmaa
    @tongmaa Před 7 lety

    This is a survival tip, an energy and time saving device. All hikers who carry staffs are familiar with this technique and why they carry them! When the "jump" is too far for the staff, the hiker hikes to where he can. Thanks for another great tip and helping us to remember our own hiking youth (if "we" were that lucky) ... :)

    @tonyfelts1512 Před 7 lety +1

    Awesome man....you just brought back a great memory for me.....we did this all the time as kids....I had forgot all about it....work great especially when it's cold weather to keep from the chance of getting wet!....thanks for sharing!

  • @E.lectricityNorth
    @E.lectricityNorth Před 7 lety +1

    5:25 "You can actually cross some pretty big streams, if your stick is long enough." I'm going to remember that one, thanks Lars :) This totally works, I have done it. Just make sure your stick won't sink too much once your weight is on it. That stream could swallow you up otherwise.

  • @StBernardAcres
    @StBernardAcres Před 7 lety +20

    You can also use that technique to get away from graboids like they did on Tremors lol

  • @LYLEWOLD
    @LYLEWOLD Před 7 lety

    this was one of those 'cultural topics' i learned about when i was taking German language classes back in jr high. i remember it showed kids who had to cross big canals to get to school, and using poles was how they did it.

  • @workingguy6666
    @workingguy6666 Před 7 lety

    Thank you for teaching us the stick-crossing technique. I take it, now, that there was a time or era that people used to carrying around big sticks.

  • @martialme84
    @martialme84 Před 5 lety

    "Klotstock springen" is at least one of the names we have for that, here in the northern parts of Germany.
    This technique is indeed in use for at least several hundred years in the marshy and wet lowlands all over europe. Maybe several thousand, actually.

  • @jameswhite8443

  • @MrSurf247
    @MrSurf247 Před 7 lety

    Great to see you in your native land! This is something I learned to do as a child and know why you never put the pole on the other side of the creek! 👍

  • @19ghost73
    @19ghost73 Před 7 lety

    Your video brought back memories of my old scouting handbook...which recommended to have a walking staff of similar size & diameter for many things - also to cross smaller creeks and ditches like You demonstrated. Great tip, Lars! ATB Gereon

  • @woof132

  • @kevinbyrne4538
    @kevinbyrne4538 Před 7 lety

    I didn't know that Denmark still *had* woodlands.
    Your video will be very useful to me. Although I live in a modern suburb, there are still wooded areas, which are full of swamps and streams. Because I help to maintain these wooded areas, your advice will be used from time to time.

  • @LarsRibe
    @LarsRibe Před 7 lety +1

    Out in the marshes of SW Jutland (Ribe marsk) the stick has a "fork" at the end so it doesn't sink in so much.

  • @thomasjefferson1457
    @thomasjefferson1457 Před 7 lety

    You are right on this one. I've done this myself a few times and I found that I can cover more ground faster with less energy loss by using a walking stick. You can cross a much larger creek with a stick than by just jumping. Keeps your feet less muddy and drier.

  • @rschortinghuis5452
    @rschortinghuis5452 Před 5 lety

    Cool...i grew up in the North of The Netherlands in a state called Friesland and there this kind of pole vaulting is a very popular sport. As Kids there we all had a large pole and walked through kilometers of farm land and jumped over small kanals.

  • @27dcx
    @27dcx Před 7 lety +1

    this is also a good technique if you are carrying a heavy pack, not so easy to simply hop across a gap with 20 kilos on your back.

  • @chefboy2160

    @nicksfix8609 Před 7 lety

    ive done tjis very same practice since i was 6 or 7. my father and me would go down to a local stream that opens up to a rather large system of washes and creeks as they are called here in Tennessee. we would do it at least 15 to 20 times and i remember how wide the jumps were, they?had to be 2meters across and most of the time it wasnt just water we had to jump over to pass. we also have quik sand patches and mud so deep it will steal your shoes if you step in it,
    great vid as always
    thanks for sharing it reminded me of my father qho passed away nearly 2 years ago. and its such a great and realistic survival practice.

    I think that you maybe suffering from withdrawal from Russia syndrome, all this talk about things that call themselves Axes and Bear Grylls. That's not just talk...It's a nightmare!!! Good luck, Lars, with your family concerns while somewhere in Denmark. It's difficult to think about survival matters, when you're swanning around leaping across ditches. Pull yourself together...;) Take care and return to us soon...

    @robbertloevendie9384 Před 6 lety

    @richcollins3490 Před 7 lety

    very informative, using a stick to cross water channels hadn't crossed my mind, the last time my buddy jumped across a muddy area like that he sunk up to his knees in the mud and lost his shoe needless to say I laughed for a few hours after that.

  • @brianreddeman951
    @brianreddeman951 Před 7 lety

    Well heck Lars. Damn, I cross dry creeks all the time. Most of those channels are evil since they've deep from flash flooding and very silty at the bottom (you'll sink in as much as 6-8cm), brittle steep sides up to 1m which makes them a pain to cross over. I'd say they're more dangerous than a fast flowing creek. I am going to master this! Thank you very, very, very much. :)

  • @karlmadsen3179
    @karlmadsen3179 Před 7 lety

    I still use this when hunting and need to cross water a little too wide to jump or too deep to wade. Who really wants to be drenched when out in the woods hunting on a cold day? The only downside.....dragging around a tree. I am sure that sometime soon some walking stick manufacturer will be selling some very expensive version of a collapsible carbon fiber telescoping version that will retain at an insanely expensive price. Cheaper versions are growing in the forest waiting for your harvesting them!

    My first thought after reading the title was a dual segment, one part about you changing YT channels and the other part something about creeks. hehe Looks like a nice place to grow up in. Ever had the stick sink a few feet and totally throw off your landing? lol We used to do that as kids here in FL and every now and then things just went wrong. ;) Thanks for sharing and I hope everything goes smoothly with the paperwork. Enjoy your vacation and take care!
