Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on CZcams, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too.
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!
How can this type of content ever get boring? Walking in the Siberian Taiga with a genuine Siberian bushman who loves to impart his bushcraft to a universal audience. Life is good indeed.
Great video. I am a forester and banging a wooden peg into a tree is not going to harm it at all. It will just produce resin for protection and grow around / over it . I have found pig netting, iron nails, musket balls and even an old iron gate and railings in the middle of perfectly healthy trees. (Not so healthy for my chainsaw though). Trees are amazingly resilient.
Buy a Garret pinpointer , show you where the metal is.
i had an interacion with someone who was a "tree enthusiast" (which is a generous way of putting it) when i was building some wooden footholds up to the top of a tree to build a rope swing on one of the branches. The footholds were secured by iron nails, which deeply concerned the tree enthusiast. they caused such a racket that we had to hire an arborist to come and weigh in on whether or not the tree was being harmed. It goes without saying that the tree enthusiast was no longer an issue after that. trees have much more serious things going on than a couple of nails or an axe wound.
Try a copper nail 😏
Imagine if they taught people practical things like this nowadays. We would all be much better.
Then government would have no control.
Balsam fir
There are many who share this information on youtube. And when I find something that I know will make other folks lives better and free them from big pharma, I share it on my facebook page and in the various groups I am a part of as well as my own group. And YOU can do the same. Share the information around and encourage your friends and family to do the same. The more of us that share what is freely given to us, then the more the knowledge will spread like a wildfire, and the better folks' lives will be.
The system needs us dependant on them or they have no power heh
agreed! People are so unskilled in some of the most basic necessities
Balsam Fire sap is good to put on cuts, because it is antiseptic. We live in Northern Maine, and our Balsam Fir trees look identical to yours. The sap is also good for burns, sores, or any other wounds.
One other point. We tap our trees for Maple and Birch sap, and pound a wooden peg into the hole when we remove the tap from the tree. The trees heal just fine. City people have no clue sometimes! :)
Anyone who gets their panties in a twist about traditional bushcraft techniques is not worth paying any attention to. You're too concerned about whining from people who know nothing of what it means to be one with the land and nature. Forget them Lars, keep on sharing these wonderful experiences with others who appreciate them as much as I know you do!
Does it come with blackjack?
I love this channel!!!And the Blah Blah Blah!
Tralalalala
tra la la
and all that funky stuff
Totally NOT boring! Funky and awesome! I think Nature's Medicine is the BEST!
Thank you for taking us along on your walks in the woods. Please don't hesitate to show us the old ways of doing things. If someone is offended by the old ways then they are not interested in leaning about history. I am an old man stuck in Richardson, Texas (Dallas County} and I can remember the days back in the 1960's when I hunted. We used anything we could fine to make deer hunting work. There wasn't all this fancy stuff to use. Now deer hunting has become a giant industry that only the rich can afford.
And those balsam "bubbles" make great firestarter when birch bark is scarce as well as decent glue when heated up.
Get well soon, Lars. God bless you and your wonderful family.
No, nothing you present is boring. When people who have been doing something for hundreds or thousands of years show you ways to survive, you listen to them appreciate these little bits of wisdom. Safe journeys.
Never boring. A cool life style.
We have the same trees here in Minnesota. The resin from the blisters is the best antiseptic I have ever found. Just take some with the tip of your knife and pot it on a cut or scratch and it will stop the bleeding and make it heal faster.
You can make a salve with sap, little bit of natural oil and bees wax. Very good for little cuts and all types of skin conditions.
Cheers from another Minnesotan
I've never tried making it into salve, I usually make salve from what grows near the house. I've got so many Balsam trees in the forest it's easier just to get the sap fresh. I'll try to make some salve next year when I get more beeswax so I can have some to travel with.
@@briandourn2900 Hello!
The ones in Russia might not have the exact same properties if they're not the same species, it's important to check these things.
No worries about the piece of wood.you always leave the woods like you found them and you only take what you need.good man
Sitting in front of a roaring fire, in my own shelter in my back yard. The moon and the stars are out, a cup of Hungarian Goulash soup in my hand, watching a new upload from SR - doesn´t get much better than this. Skoal from Denmark :-D
Gulyas leves, porkolt (o's with Umlaut). Porkolt made of Hungarian Grey Cattle, szurke marha,
Natives know because their survival depends o what they know.
The resin from that tree is extremely awesome in fighting infections from cuts and scrapes. It will help heal the wounds and stop the infection. You can put it directly on the small cut, wound or scratch. It will cover and mak a protective barrier. My grandmother taught me as a child while camping.
Others have said already but Balsam Fir is same here in Canada. Good medicine. I collect the sap for healing. If I get cut, add a little bit and a tiny piece of toilet paper, moss, etc and you have an instant bandage with antiseptic properties. Also, it works better than anything I've ever seen for healing burns.
Good to see your smiling face Lars, the Siberian folk really know what works well in nature, I'd trust the words of an old timer from there any time 👍👍
I have moved from the grasslands of the west to the woodlands of Nova Scotia. My son and I have been trying to learn the different trees of the forest. There has been this tree with smooth gray bark with bubbles we have been trying to ID. Is it Fir? Hemlock? Hem/Fir? Ah!! Thank you Survival Russia! It is actually Balsam Fir. Not to worry about a wooden peg in a tree. We have 100 yr old wire fencing surrounded by living trees deep in the forest.
it´s never boring!
I live in Canada's north if you were dropped here with me I am sure you would believe you were at home. and yes same bark.

Been to Elliot Lake many times. Lived on Manitoulin fer a long time.

Excellent video. Our Balsam Fir also has those bumps with the resin. Thank you for the hanger trick. And you're right, it doesn't hurt the tree to have one small notch in it.
I learned something today and that is what matters. Passing down skills and information that native people used is priceless. Modern ideas are not always the best or environmentally friendly. Natives survived and passed on those survival skills to their kids. :)
There is nothing wrong with having one foot in the old world and one foot in the present. The old world knowledge about how to do things is just as useful now as it was when it was practiced. I think the coat hanger is a good idea. Thank you for sharing it with us.
The oldtimers lived WITH Nature, not just IN it. They took better care of their environment than most "treehuggers" do, so I wouldn't waste a second on their worries about a stake in a tree. I have seen healthy trees that have grown around bicycles, pipes and rocks, even. And it's no different from grafting, anyway.
Never Fear Lars, Loved this video as I have every other video you have made for many years now. My Family and I anticipate every new one one because we enjoy watching You, Mrs. Survival Russia, The Ninjas and All your friends and family. if there was anything negative to say it would be that the videos are too short, we always wish for longer and more. Thank You for sharing all you have and we hope everyone stays well as we look forward to your next Video.
there's NO 'going nuts' here! your videos are so very informative and I hear you loud and clear, my grandfather showed me many things about the woodlands, it is soooooo important to keep these 'old time' knowledge avenues open to the next generation and they must be encouraged to pass it all on as well - keep up the fantastic work, really appreciate all your output over the years
We could hear the poor tree screaming all the way here to old Denmark, when you viciously axed it with your evil axe!
Just kidding, carry on, Lars, your videos have been missed, good to have you back.
Great remedy for colds, sore throats.
Forest management is very appropriate and also very different than nature or tree worship! Thank you for another pleasant video😇😇😇
Well said. The reality of life In the woods. Keep well👍
Glad you and mrs survival are better, your absence was noticed, take care and keep being awesome.
Your B-roll is better than most peoples A-roll
People who don't understand nature are always going to cry about stuff, but we know that nature is tough and have ways of surviving, that's why nature has made it this long, lol...good job Lars and great to see you! :)
Thank you Lars for taking us out for a walk with you. Hope you and the family feel better soon.
Glad to hear you and Mrs. Survival Russia are feeling better. It's interesting some of the things I've learned from you since I first started watching. I'm sure there will be more videos before the one with the house build but I can't wait to see it when it comes out. Thanks Lars
Too many things are left in the past in exchange for new ideas. This is a practical application with self healing properties. Da is good!
FINE to see you in the woods again! The foundation for your new home looks MASSIVE! As a sometime farm lad, we figured that we took trees and we planted trees...we bred cattle and we had cattle slaughtered. We were part of a cycle of LIFE.
Lars, I have missed your video's. I hope you and the family are getting well. Stay safe my friend.
You can hang about 200 used face masks on that hanger in my part of town. Gather up all those floating masks from sidewalks and curbs. Decorate the front lawn with them.
my levels of awesome just went up thank you team Survival Russia
Survival Russia notification stop what I’m doing and watch it!
Balsam fir is same here in British Columbia. The smell always reminds me of christmas. I like you are respectful of native people of Siberia who live off the land
What does make me cry is the likelyhood that loggers will enter your forest and cut down those trees which you do not own on your own land.
We all enjoy your sojourns into the Russian woods and to look at a clear cut will change the nature of your videos.
Here's hoping that the loggers find better hunting grounds somewhere else.
Lars glad your feeling better. I look forward to seeing your house building posts. It may sound funny but I would enjoy the cold weather over all the bugs you have in the summer.
IT AINT BORING LARS, WE MISSED YOU ! TAKE CARE..
Your forest is the same as the forest where I live near the center of Alberta, Canada. It's exactly the same mix of trees, we call it a boreal forest.The tree you call larch, we also call tamarac there are two kinds red and yellow. The red we use for fence posts because they last for years before they taught in the ground. I like your channel and watch it all the time, keep up the good work. Thank you Carl
Licorice Root added to my coffee and yet bought for teas for health, including chaga. Learned how tea is good for us, and sometimes better than food. Especially because what food can do to the gut if it's nicht so gut or funky dear. That root is good for repiratory and as sweetener for coffee. Coffee I may have tonight, by my "Suburban Tissue Fire" missing the forest for a few moments.
Resin: As children, we would take a small twig, poke it in a resin bubble, and throw them in water to watch them "race". In a dead tree, you can harvest the wood where the resin has concentrated. We call this "fatwood" and it is excellent for starting a fire. I think the liquid resin can be heated and concentrated into pitch or pine tar. This is much like the black stuff at the base of old pole holding up telepohone or electrical wires. "Do something awesome every day!"
I worked west coast of Canada, the balsam trees had a purple cone that was tightly bound unlike a segmented pine cone, it was very tight & very sticky & the fragrance was as beautiful as a flower.
Love the coat hanger idea......... There is no difference between what you did and grafting fruit trees ........... Awesome video
Awesome to see you back Lars!! I love hearing you tell your stories about the Siberian natives...and you're absolutely right Lars, people who ramble about stuff like that are truly clueless and don't even see the irony about the stuff they actually do or buy. Anyway....keep it up and drink lots of balsam fir tea!💪🏻
The stick hammered into the spruce tree thing I have NEVER seen before..very slick.Of course, nowadays, I'd probably tie a stick to the trunk with paracord, but if cordage was scarce...
Lars, glad to see that you’re back! Natural treatments for colds and flu are awesome.

In Canada we sometimes call the Larch tree Tamarack. Same tree, different name. Stay healthy and keep the videos coming. Good job, Lars.
Hi Lars - I bet Mrs survival Russia is excited & looking forward to the new round house with 12 corners.
One thing I'd like you to cover well in your videos is how you will design and build the Russian stove inside it. Mrs SR will probably have big ideas for how she wants the stove to look like.
My grandfather used to do search a rescue up north in Canada. They used to carry a spade bit and drill a hole in trees for pegs in a similar manner. Mostly they used them for hanging ridge poles for tents and shelters if no branches were in the right spot. probably used them for packs and stuff too.
Resin from trees are good for a lot of things. It's a great glue when heated! It's also what we make pure maple syrup from
Honey in the tea, also Black Elderberry good for colds, chicken soup. Sauna, sweat it out clears sinus's.
Oh Lars! Something I know about first hand - balsam sap on burns. Fantastic! Scalded my hand with boiling water at last summers Karamat course. Kelly Harleton whipped out the balam tree - pop the balam blisters and plaster that stuff on liberally, dress with anything fluffy - cattail, milkweed fluff etc and leave alone. Looks ugly as hell, and it'll get dirty, but just leave it and let it wear off on its own. It works. Keep applying as the blisters open up or whatever. Burn sensation was gone in 5 min - ugly dirty furry hand for four or five days, but no scarring or pink skin etc. Live and learn! RIP Mors.
Lars , great to visit again , always a pleasure , thanks for the tips , get to feeling better , stay safe , God bless !
Thank you Mike :)
I used to be an arborist in SE United States. We would drill through oak trees to install a bolt to secure split trunks. The tree grows around the hardware. To be extra safe you can spray insecticide on a wound.. but with resinous trees you don’t have to do that.
Well said.
I'm glad that you are back. Your outdoor lessons are very practical for anyone going into the woods.
I love these Siberian way skills! Thank you for sharing them!
We use fir for throat illness here in Slovenia 🇸🇮 as well.
You can also make a sirup out of it. We take young shoots in the spring and then you put them in a glass jar, mix with sugar and put it in sun for a few months.
You end up with a very sweet, somewhat liquorish sirup, which is great for flus and colds and such illnesses.
Bonus tip: you put that fir sirup in some schnapps (brandy, vodka) and leave it for a month or two. Awesome, very tasty drink
We have the same balsam fir in Canada and you can use the pitch on open wounds and it acts as a sort of antibiotic. Take care my friend.
Same tree. Looks the same, anyway.
I've burst many of those resin bubbles in Northern Ontario, Canada.
You and Mrs. Get well soon. I would like to see you back out for 2-3 day camps in the new shelter. Get well first tho.
thanks that was grate
Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii.
The native hook is no worse than driving a nail into a tree.
I recognize the tree, me and my sister did pop the biggest bubbles that were on that tree. and my mom had a job of getting it out of our hair and clothes, we were up in Quebec, Lac creve fin . In Canada.
Thanks Lars
Nice to have you back mate,hope you and the Mrs recover well
One must utilise and never must misuse for sake of fun, ignorance or even happiness.
Lars, you are doing great ,just keep mentioning in your videos that even a blade of grass must not be misused because many people would imitate you and your ways.
I loved it when you said that one must never plan to cut down branches to prepare one night bed(of course if things are unplanned and emergency like stuff then necessary measures can be taken) in forest rather one should plan to bring sleeping mat which can be awesome ✌🏻
Thank you :)
Hahahaha “no need to cry about a piece of wood in another piece of wood” well said sir!
That white Burch bark is a great pain killer if you make a tea out of it.
Hello Lars, the spruce you were talking about is swamp spruce found in wet areas. Also if loggers put time and money into the area you are in, it means one thing. Firewood, nothing worth taking to the mill. Richard from Canada.
Good to see you load a new video. Looking forward to seeing you put your 12 cornered house up.
Well said! Have a great day!
That's is a Beautiful place where you live.
Welcome back Lars. Thanks for sharing the cool Siberian hanger trick!
Glad you're doing well and I hope to see more vids soon.
Thank you :)
And all that funky stuff!
I live on the Kitsap Peninsula, in the state of Washington. AKA, the Pacific North West. Your videos look like you're walking around in forests in my neck of the woods. We have more pines here, but for the most part, you'd be right at home.
In the Alps in Austria, they make a Schnaps mazerat from Pinus Cembra „Zirbelkiefer“ called „Zirbenschnaps“ with the fresh shoots laying in alcohol for some time, spiced with vanilla, cinnamon and sugar. Delicious stuff..
glad you and mrs. survival russia are feeling better
Your awesome brother! Thanks for everything you do!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Nice to see you back! Good luck with the new house build, looking forward to seeing you finish it.
So glad to hear you and Mrs are on the mend! :)
shared it
Thank you , Lars ,
Have missed you . welcome back .
Sorry for not giving you grief over the hanger but i am not a troll , and also I don't Feed the Trolls , Keep up the good work Lars , (Your "B roll" better than a lot of "A" content of some others )
Lars, Your snowshoe hare are definitely bigger than the ones we get in eastern Canada. I’m envious.
Good to see you Lars ,, looks to be a good day .. always things to learn and share...
Balsam fir has soft flat needles unlike spruce which are the sharp and rounded ones. Balsam fir trees in Canada look very similar to these and have the same resin blisters all over them. Good to see you back finally
Yes ! Canaan fir. We call blister pine. I take my science class and we taste resin!!
Balsam fir is native to Canada as well and looks much the same as what you have in your location. Most people here hate these trees because of their resin sap. It sticks to everything and makes a huge mess on your clothing, chainsaws and gloves. Here we use black spruce tips in the same format that you use Balsam. We harvest the fresh bright green tips off the spruce and brew that as tea. It has the same properties as balsam. What you call Lartch, we call it Tamarak. It burns very hot due to the resins in it. In Canada tamarak is harvested and the resin is refined into turpentine.
