    The fact that the place you wanted to go to has now got a fence around it may mean it has become a popular local destination. A fee is probably being charged to keep the place clean. Channels like yours show ppl around the world these beautiful places. As soon as we all want to go then they need to be protected.

    Not to throw down the academia card, but I'm currently working on a degree in Mongolic and East Asian studies. I've read literally hundreds of books about the Mongols and Genghis (actually Chinggis) Khan and written several papers. My passion for the subject cannot be overstated. The 13th century Mongols are endlessly fascinating linguistically, culturally and historically. Their brutality, in some instances, was exaggerated, but not by that much. Chinggis and his sons were responsible for the massacre of tens of millions of people, up to 10% of the world's population. Some Khans encouraged exchange and tolerated (key word being tolerated) religious freedom while others executed Muslims on the spot for performing halal slaughter. While it's essential to view the Mongols in the context of their time and with cultural nuance and depth, the sheer scale of destruction was appalling even by the standards of the 13th century. There's a reason the Mongols are frequently described (and describe themselves) in primary sources as divine punishment or a natural disaster. Something like this had simply never been seen before. While turbulence and war were common, destruction on this scale was not.
    I should add: none of this is meant to criticize, simply to offer historical and textual accuracy.

    This one was a bit difficult to watch.....
    Came off as an entitled tourist and started to cry when a small village ruined her "natural and exploring" narrative.
    You literally followed a road with signs to a village......
    Like everyone else said, it's a small guarded village on a tiny side of a big lake. Most likely has a guard from the local government to protect the water or protect from illegal dumping. Could've just asked why they were there and learn about the area and culture.
    Mongolia as a whole is pretty empty. A simple google search renders "A vast, incredibly sparsely populated country is 99.7% empty".

    I traveled for 10,000+ miles in Mongolia to the far corners and of that 80 were on tarmac. I wild camped the whole time and would often drive for days in unbridled wilderness and freedom. To be upset about the wilderness being taken over in one small lake that provides local income insanely close to the capital city in relative terms just seems on the hunt for a narrative that whilst has some truth is probably least evident in Mongolia. If you’re crying about development in Mongolia I would urge you to drive for 10 mins in any direction.
    I think this is way too simplistic a take on this subject (for the views) and when in such an awe inspiring place it deserves a more thoughtful and retrospective understanding.

      @tserendolgorts7536 Pƙed 8 dny +66

      yeah, also as a Mongolian I am kinda irritated about that simplistic comment. I was bit confused and worried when I saw the title of how "wild camping went badly in Mongolia" and was also very interested how Eva felt in my country. Of course it's not ideal that the nature doesn't stay open and free to all as a concept. But it is a lake that's not really far away drive for mongolian perspective and still keeps its wild nature. I've been there two times and already the second time I realized the increase of visitors this place has becoming and sadly losing its wilderness. So I think it is better to keep it regulated and someone collects small amount of fee and do the work rather than becoming one of those highly visited, polluted lake by the (unfortunately not so responsible) campers most of the time.
      I do agree with her sentiment of how it is very sad that everywhere the nature is getting less and less wild. But having this reaction in a country, where you can literally drive a little bit far and you DO find wild nature, feels kinda entitled.

      I was disappointed by Eva's reaction which I thought was an overkill. When the entrance fee was very small, I realized quickly that it was probably for the upkeep of the land & to protect the lake.
      Eva's apparent disdain for the cabins was also perplexing. You would think they were high rise condos.
      I think maybe doing a little research on where the fees go to & the reason for the cabins would have gone a long way.

    Sorry to say that, but travel influencers are also a part of the problem. They visit some very beautiful places and crate the urge in other people to visit these places too. Thus creating tourism there. I really respect all your hard work and sharing all of this with us, but I also have to say it always feels a bit strange and even makes me sometimes mad/sad that I don’t own a car or use planes in respect to climate change (I could afford a car and flying), limiting myself in traveling very much. While many other people don’t even seem to care and also many travel bloggers/influencers go everywhere and so on. Why should there only be a few people being entitled to see these places? Or drive around in such vehicles and fly everywhere every few weeks?
    It is fine to feel sad about this, but then also reflect and accept being part of the problem.
    edit:
    Many other people seem to have similar thoughts about this in the comments and I really hope that you could address this in a future video. Because you always come across as a very decent and intelligent human being and should give this some thoughts. Not to mention the Genghis Khan stuff.

    Eva, my husband & I watch you all the time & love you. But you really disappointed me with the remarks & upset over things like those cabins.
    My parents couldn’t do what you do very much when they were younger. There were no sponsors then, their resources were limited & they had other responsibilities. Like me. Anyway, they can go now. At 70. But unfortunately those little cabins are where they have to stay due to reasons that are probably glaringly obvious. But for sake of their dreams, they choose the wildest locations little cabins can be.
    They are respectful of their surroundings, choosing to stay where businesses & most visitors are also respectful. Where everyone is either trying to be inclusive, or thankful for the chance to see places they otherwise would have never seen. So, there are your tourists, my friend.
    While I acknowledge the problem of losing wild places, you were still able to find your wild place. Everyone should be able to enjoy them, too. Like people with limited resources, people with time constraints, & people like my parents.

Just for the record I fully support and agree with your comments on the wilderness. Don’t know much about Kahn though. I really wanted to comment on the fire making. Using the cow dung was. excellent, and was one of the primary sources of fuel on the American Prairie when it was being settled. As forgetting it started, remember, you can always use your camp stove as a starter as well. I finally remember many many years ago, up in the northern Cascades on a hike and fishing trip. It started raining so we didn’t get a lot of fishing done and tried to start a fire instead. All the wood was rather damp, and most traditional methods were just not working. I pulled out my trusty old SVEA 123 stove (which alone will tell you how long ago that was) , Got it, started and started putting wood TP style over it. Before long, we had a roaring fire going. Pulled the stove out before anything could really happen to it, but it worked great. As I said, we didn’t get any fishing done, but we had a great time around that fire, snuggly under a big cedar tree, sheltered from the rain. I remember toasting little cubes of SPAM on a stick over that fire and whatever else we had. It was a real great adventure with fond memories. Also, you say in the title of this video that it didn’t go well. It appears it ended up very well at the end. Regardless, you will always have wonderful stories to tell about stuck in that horrendous thunderstorm. in my experience, it is when things don’t go exactly right that keep the greatest and fondest memories of adventures. Keep going lady!

      Turns out that the guy with the dog , Max , owns the 4x4 company that sells wild tours in Mongolia to Europe and the west. He is also working with the Mongolian tourist trust to try and get the under 40s to go to Mongolia for tourism. He is also trying to start 4x4 wild tours across the globe to tap into the 23-40 year olds . Their branding is used to influence the followers , it's all documented in their websites and interviews including the NY times.
      They brand themselves , governments pay to have these influencers on social media and make videos of the country.
      Whether this is what's happening here is hard to tell but it's what they do. Not exactly saving the planet and Mongolia wants the tourists, there's a new kind of holiday and its the back to nature and be free , raw, brave etc etc.
      There's actually quite a horrific one from UK that means bringing/buying a broken car and driving across half of Asia, Top Gear style , with no support but it's an "adventure" .
      It's just a new way of advertising. There's no way Eva would not of known what was at that lake . It's a loop for loads of tourists, mountain bike, motorbikes , horses , they all go round the dirt track , have done for years.

    You may be a little misled by viewing Genghis Khan through the lense of Mongolians. As a child in the 1170s, he killed his older half-brother to secure his familial position. As a young man he made war against his former ally, Jamukha. In 1209, he attacked the neighbouring Western Xia, who agreed to Mongol terms the following year. He then launched a campaign against the Jin dynasty, which lasted for four years and ended in 1215 with the capture of the Jin capital Zhongdu. He annexed the Central Asian state of Qara Khitai in 1218 then the Khwarazmian state, where he devastated the regions of Transoxiana and Khorasan and then turned west through what is Russia today and into the Middle East. He was generous and loyal to his followers, but ruthless towards his enemies. The Mongol army under Genghis killed millions of people, yet his conquests also facilitated unprecedented commercial and cultural exchange over a vast geographical area. He is remembered as a brutal tyrant in most of Asia, but modern Mongolians recognise him as the founding father of their nation.

      To make Genghis Khan an enlightened, tolerant man is a big misunderstanding. He had the tolerance of a gangster when his victims paid him tribute, and when they did not want to pay, he simply murdered them, skipping the stage of intimidation - a horse's head in the trunk, etc. He burned and ruined many cities, but he built none.
      The modern intellectual heir of Gengiz Khan's name is Vladimir and in the 21st century he tries to implement the philosophy of conquest and empire building at the expense of smaller and weaker nations. Fortunately, the latter are not as alone in the fight as Genghis's victims, and Vladimir himself is not a leader of such great caliber.

And his friend Jamukha was greedy and betrayed him to not become the Khan of whole Mongolia.

You can find that, one of his follower was Muslim and one of his adviser was Christian.

      We remember Genghis Khan only because of the millions of victims, the number of destroyed kingdoms he left behind, the record number of thousands of square kilometers he conquered and the number of women he counted - rather not because they fell in love with his beauty or intellect, but because they were forced to do so.

    If anyone is here for the Mongolian culture and landscape this video isn’t it.

    Not sure where you got your facts on Chingis Khan but very off. Just because he allowed religious freedom doesn’t mean he didn’t slaughter countless number people. During his reign carbon emission levels actually declined because his armies killed so many people. Also feels a bit entitled to think you would have this lake all to yourself

      I think she's stressing her body out too much, being vegan or vegetarian and pushing into extremes of weather and physical endurance relentlessly moving, changing her mind etc. it's all too much on a body and mind, especially a woman's, our hormones need checking in on and support especially when living a bit of an imbalanced lifestyle. we need deep rest and more of it than men etc. I think she likely doesn't realize how worn out she is. marathons ruin a body actually if done too much, lots of people when older talk about it who have pushed themselves too hard, people admire it too much. the body breaks

    I became a big fan of NoraIy Schoenmaker (Itchy Boots) this year, partly because I really enjoyed her straightforward, honest presentation. No tricks, no manipulative thumbnails. Just a consistently good story. She really is superb. And fearless, by the way.
    Before that, I used to enjoy Eva's videos but, in comparison, I realized Eva plays the drama card way too much. To the point that I wonder if it's somewhat artificial. Then I think about an Oxford accent coming out of a Polish native and a last name that's been reconfigured to look like royalty. As with some CZcamsrs after a while, it's all about stoking viewer interest for monetary interests and less about the joy of telling a good story. This was really disappointing.

It's the wild and be free adventure holidays now. If you search the names , the internet shall provide quite an insight.

    Yeah. No spoon ...
    In the Marines guys would eat with different utensils. Mostly plastic but they might have one metal one.
    The thing is - one utensil was about all they really wanted to carry around when they were living in a hole in the ground.
    Different guys used different things.
    Spoons were popular and some guys - not many but some - cut tangs into the front to make Sporks.
    The guys who used Forks - would spear the solid food or lift it out - then - drink the liquid from the container.
    Lots of guys used Knives. They already had knives or bayonets - so this wasn't an extra thing they had to carry around.
    Like the guys with Forks - they'd spear the food or drink it.
    Oh - and part of the problem with carrying the thing around - was losing it ... Since the knife or bayonet was already attached to their gear - it was harder to lose than something that might fall out of a pocket.
    As to Genghis Khan ...
    Yes - once the Mongols had conquered some place and were administering it - that was one thing.
    Conquering it was another.
    The Standard Mongol approach was to come to a City and tell it that if it didn't surrender - they'd kill every man, woman and child in the place - then stack their skulls in a mount outside it. If the City resisted - that's what they did.
    The reason that did that was so the next City would surrender. If they gave in - they became part of the Mongols lands and things weren't so bad - not that they were good.
    The person today who most reminds me of Genghis Khan - would be Putin.
    As to who you heard he was such a great guy from - well - of course the Mongols think he was a great guy.
