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!

This video is so REAL! The real deal. Keep up the awesome work.
Love the attitude! Sleeping in the wild and waking to snow at the tent door and you still say it’s pretty good. I’ve done this - you really get a reality check when you wake to freezing temps and gotta’ get a fire going so you can cook and get that camp coffee on!
Once fire is going everything is awesome. :) Agreed!
I agree. Waking up in a frozen forest, knowing that you need to get out of your toasty warm sleeping bag, and start getting a fire going, while the frost instantly attacks your still sleepy body, is just not awesome. Still a lot better than not having the option of lighting a fire though!
Excellent video. It's amazing how a simple cup of tea and a hot fire can make things...awesome!
Take care, Wade
Seeing you eat some russian bread in the cold and wind reminds me of home. I can taste it! I really hope you know how many of us appreciate your videos because it takes us back to the motherland. Id do anything to be frying some bread in the land of permafrost again
You just won a new subscription. I have been watching you for a little while now and when I saw you drinking strong black tea and you can't see the bottom, I knew that you were a man after my own heart. It is the only way to drink tea. Thanks for the great video and I will be looking for more. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.
Another excellent training video Lars.
I especially like the old trapper pics you place at the end of the videos. I inspect them for minute details of their lives. More please.
Looking at the pic it looks like he's wearing a vest or has something flung over his right shoulder, any idea what that would be?
OKBushcraft,
I do the same thing, and also was wondering what he had on.............also noticed he had a cooking set up behind him, for hanging pots. I have asked Lars to add any known info to pictures, even dates if available .
I saw those and the vest thing wondered what he was wearing as well.
I enjoy seeing the things that would have been my granddads era here in Oklahoma. He was a man of the land.
Seems things are a little different in Eastern Europe but some things are the same.
@@OKBushcraft
One thing was the same all over in that time period, everything was hard . No easy peasy stuff back then. None of this , everyone owes me crap.
@@victorcastle1840 those sticks look like a good way to make a fast and efficient pot hanger, although not sure how they attached them to a surface so they would hang. That info comes in handy for us who bushcraft and if anyone can make a video on old trappers lives, Lars is the man. He still has many friends who live the life and it's great to see some of their ways on his channel.
I love the drone scenes of the vastness your country. You are showing true survival. You speak very good English, tra La la .
I enjoyed the video. I liked seeing that somebody else does stuff like i do. Anyone can survive and camp through summer with little training. But to survive through a cold wet or snowy winter does take more knowledge, skills and in resourcefulness. Keep up the good work.
Some guys might not be “soldiers “ anymore, but sure enjoy the finer points of soldiering still! Hope you have an awesome winter, Lars. Oh, and I hear you loud and clear on cold and batteries. Take care.
Good strategy, not relying on gloves until the cold gets more extreme early in winter, get acclimatized before the REAL cold arrives. I also love the little shelter where you can keep your gear shelter and also "season" some birch bark as well. It looks as though you have about as much snow cover as we have here in Eastern Canada already. As for the leaking water, when that little bit froze from ground contact overnight, the expanding ice might have cracked the plastic, and then it starts leaking as that ice film melts. Still, as you say, unawesome to have a leaking water store. Love that siberian log fire every time I see you make it, very efficient and looks quite warm. Great video, as always, my friend. Keep warm and keep being awesome.
The hole looked as is was melted. A "nice" round hole... :)
I'm inside under a blanket and it's cold. lol awesome overnighter Lars!
Looks as though winter has set in there Lars. Keep up the great videos Lars. We love them and the work you do.
I'm a commercial truck driver. I often haul frozen food which I haul at -10f°. When I haul frozen ice, I have to haul it at +15f° or the plastic bags get brittle and, burst.
Thanks Lars! Big fun in the woods...
When I was up in lapland I used disposable hand warmers fixed one to my camera (where the battery is kept) with elastic bands / ranger bands
I like these disposable handwarmers for cold weather camping. They work inside the sleeping bag as well as inside gloves & boots.
Glad you enjoy this sort of activity and thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience! All the best my friend!
Well done Lars. Love the new word...Unawesome. I'm sure we will hear it again from you, I might even use it if you don't mind.
Lars, one of your best survival assets I think is your always positive and good humoured outlook! Anyone trying to survive would have vastly increased chances with you alongside them. Thanks for posting and best wishes.
Lars, I like the way you approach getting ready for winter season, I do the same thing to acclimatize. better to get used to the cold gradually than to shock your body all at once. keep up the good work and keeping it real!
That looked like fun! Thanks for taking us along. Hope all is well with you and your family and looking forward to the BACON!!!!!!! video that's coming!! =)
Great outlook. We are kindred that way. I just accept and embrace the conditions whatever they may be. Gratitude is an often overlooked survival tool...
It's a known fact, that you just can't get anything done while wearing gloves. I always start with gloves when working on my car and in 5 minutes I've tossed them away.
Try a pair of the ANSI Level 4 cut resistant gloves. Very light and thin. Excellent tactile feel. As an electrician I was resistant to wearing gloves for years until finding these. Home Depot has them for about $9 a pair or they are available online.
That's why you need the right gloves for the job.
The delicate bits need a delicate touch - until theyre no longer finger-loose:)
Been a sub for quite a while now and these videos just keep getting better and better. Lars, your content is so entertaining and engaging that I'm not even allowed to watch these without my girlfriend or she'll be mad haha. It's as if I skipped ahead of a show we were watching on netflix or something. I love camping in the cold and that first re light of the fire in the morning is one of the best parts of the whole experience in my opinion. Great work, loving every minute.
Thank you Tim and Girlfriend :)
Finnish ground pad is without doubt the best one ever. Happy Hiking Lars
Very cool trip! Enjoyed the video! Thanks!
Yet another very good video. Like your fires that seem to burn for a long time. Fun that you use a little older but very good clothes when you are out in the woods. Looking forward to the next video. Have fun in the wilderness. Best regards Lars-Göran from Sweden.
As far as Power Banks go, I have an emergency flashlight that recharges with a hand crank. On the side is a port where you can plug in your devices and use the hand crank to charge them. It's made of durable plastic and very light weight. I'm sure you can find such a thing on the internet. Just make sure the crank voltage is compatible with your camera. Hope this helps.
Howdy Lars! I use a portable jump-start box for my outdoor charging and powering needs. It is pocket size, has a USB port, tons of power, and you can get 2-3 jump-starts out of it if the battery in your vehicle dies. Many companies make them and the one I use only cost me $25.

'when the fire is going & the tea is hot ,every thing is awesome ' good stuff Lars
The effectiveness of the SLF in reflecting heat is pretty amazing.
It is :)
Raw and real. Reminds us that you are also human just like us.the grunts,sniffles and sighs, love it. Keep it up keep it real.
Thank you :)
Yep! We had that sleeping pad in the army, but it was green (what a surprise). I shot two brown hare last weekend and now the other one is in the oven. Thanks for the video!
Awesome :) Hare tastes good! I'm drying bacon on the attic for later smoking :)
@@SurvivalRussia oh my that sounds good! I like smoked everything. I want smoke on my fish, meat and whiskey! Next time when i smoke fish i will try birch for smoking.
You are Legit Lars! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video..can’t wait for the lean to
Awesome trip! I love the winter camping videos, looking forward for the next one!
Awesome tea and toast in the Taiga nice job Lars 👍🏻
It would be awesome to come and spend a week or two with you on the homestead helping you with your daily chores and learning from you 😊
Thank you , Lars .
Thank you too Loupis :)
Gotta love those first days of winter when your hands have forgotten how to be warm. You push a little to far and then get to cry like a wuss as your fingernails warm up again. good times.;)
Been there, done that!
Good tips for winter camping.
Nice video Lars and as for that age old power dilemma question of what to do in the cold I have been using Aukey brand power banks of 20000 mAH and unfortunately,like you, I have had to keep them next to my body in the really cold(-40C) but they have held up fine for a few years now. I am going to try their 30000 mAH and Ill keep you updated but I have no doubt they will work. I have tried using hand warmer packs on the camera gear but the severe cold just sucks the life out of them but I what have found that works surprisingly well is boiling water in my titanium canteen and then wrap a shemagh around it and it can keep your camera gear a bit warmer.
I wish there was that much flat land and trees in South Wales! Can't camp out without being on some sort of hill! Awesome videos thank you
Great video Lars. I find spruce and balsam twigs are by far the best. Up in Nakina for the week at the sawmill doing a bunch of work and it is indeed winter up here, so look forward to the weekly videos to keep me sane this week. Cheers Fred
I wish you a good safe stay at the saw mill buddy :)
Best regards from Poland Lars 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Adam! :)
i could watch your videos all day! amazing :)
Lars , put a ridge in the birch bark shelter put a backwall And afront door . A header will support the opening to support. The ridge overtop of the door.. # SAVE THE BIRCH HUT !!
AKER POWER BANK . KEEP THEM WADM THO..
Another awesome video by my favorite awesome Russian survival expert . Love and Respect from Indiana USA .
Very cold Russian Siberia always see in snow there. I like your video with Siberia big fire logs. I enjoy listen to you speak Russian and look Russian and your good food. awesome videos
I am quite jealous of your hearty composition. I love the cold and was my favorite time to hike and camp. I had neck surgery and they cut my sympathetic nerve. I get spasms called Raynaud's. I have to stay at even temperature. It sucks. I have gained weight from indoor winters.
Greetings from the Canadian Rockies. Thank you for the link to Sukonka, I received my wool suit yesterday. A truly awesome piece of kit walked the dog last night ~ -8C in just T shirt and anorak had to leave top open. In Canada such a suit would be 30,000 rub. At least. I am looking forward to camping this winter -20 to -30 in the mountains is not unusual.
Awesome :) They are good anoraks for sure.
Awesome. Again you teach me so much thank you
this video is my go to sleep, thank you ❤🎉
Your videos are as you say awesome!! Best wishes from Scotland.
Thanks 👍
Those sleeping mats are awesome, wish I had them in the service but glad I didn't have to ruck them around.
Goal Zero Venture 30 recharger is rugged, waterproof, and designed for the outdoors. My friends take them hunting. I use Rav Power personally but have never tested them in Russian like winter temperatures.
Thanks Susan, I will look it up :)
Cold hands first thing in the morning is not so awesome.
Especially if you need to piss
@@daveallen1603 well I mean, aiming is optional so you can do without hands
Good point. Like a drunk leaning against a parking meter, I guess. "Well, at least my leg is warm now".
@@Honeythief212 Still, in my case, I need fingers from both hands to dig down thru' the moss to find it, first.
At the end of the video we can see on the left side the field table Lars got inspiration from for his own, on the right is his next big project: Lars goes fishing!
Best regards, thank you for the video.
Awesome video Lars! Thank you! Many greetings and best wishes from Finland to you my Russian friend! :)
Since you're camping close to home, did you ever think of a rocket-stove mass-heater base camp? Burn 10% as much wood. Warm an earth bench by running the exhaust underground. Just a thought.
Looks like a great little trip. I look forward to the lean-to. I promise I will help haul the materials and work hard! :-) Take care..
It is really cold there and that is one very large fire you had at your camp. We have been fortunate here so far with very little snow and I hope we don't get too much snow and ice this Winter here in Arkansas.
Lars, thanks for sharing, that's a true survival shelter, you used it to help start your fire . Looks like the birch bottom log worked out fine . We have 32 mph winds right now in Oklahoma and temp is 5c , tonight -3 , only 1 snow so far this season.
My brother is in Oklahoma to visit his grandkids, that place gets pretty darn cold. Stay warm.
@@jamesortiz5388 ...and windy , thanks, I have plenty of cold weather gear. You wouldn't think a state this far south would get cold, there are times we are colder than Michigan. Atb
Anker is a good brand. They have ultra small ones at 5000 mAh to large pocket size powerbanks that go to 32000 mAh.Even some pocket sizze modules that can even jump start a car. Most can be recharged via solar panels or car USB.
Solar power, power banks, trickle charge, lasts for days.
Get a solar panel to put on sled, charges slow but infinite times.
I have an idea for your powerbank. Make a two pocket insulated pouch with a loop to hang it from your tripod. one pocket for the powerbank and the other for a hand warmer in the winter. A warm powerbank is a happy powerbank.
My damaged finger always predicted colder weather. I had to wrap it in tissue with a layer of aluminum foil for insulation. Spitting birch in a fireplace is not awesome. Even with a screen cover, it will throw embers on the floor or worse the shelter. The snowshoe is for swatting those Siberian winter mosquitos.
Nice video, liked the sleeping pad.
You are the awesomest awesome dude that was ever awesome awesomeness always awesomeness you are awesome thank you to you and yours God bless love you dude
Great video, Russian Americans have a lot in common, like the fire set up.
Great vid Lars.
At timestamp ~6 minutes. The head-camera provides us with a point of view (that’s new to the channel). It shows us how smoothly a fire can be made (provided one practices).
most awesome follow up video
Loved the videos as always, but cant wait for the Salo video!
Thank you Dan :) The bacon should be ready for smoking in a day or two.
funky and awesome, keep it up, sir.
Every thing is Awesome.
Good that you got your hands warm, numb fingers are decidedly Unawesome. As long as they don't start turning purple, campfires and holding tea mugs seem to work nicely. Strange that the bottle got a hole in it. You are also right to be wary of Bisphenol-A leeching from the plastic.
PS. The Finnish word "Savotta" has been loaned from Russian "завод/zavód". It came to mean "Logging site" in Finnish. Up until the 1960s manual forestry labour was a vital part of employment for folks living outside of cities/townships. Especially in Eastern & Northern Finland & Lapland. "Savotta" used to mean dozens of men with saws & axes, horses with sleighs, someone to cook food, to freeze the sleigh tracks(for ease of transport) etc. A modern "savotta" is soulless, with huge machines lumbering through the forest and felling trees as if a bomb came through.
Thank you very much for the very interesting meaning behind the term "Savotta" :) Awesome!
Everything is indeed awesome!
I would love to see a lean to build this fall or winter for sure. I don't mind long videos at all
Dude; I love your channel!
Another great video, A spark from my fire jumped out and landed next to our water bottle last month and burned a hole through the bottom edge, if it can go wrong, it will go wrong. Thanks Lars.
Build an Adirondack shelter. It is a lean to, but deep with a knee wall in the back to give the camper the most head room.
Your personality is contagious. You are ALWAYS positive, upbeat, happy, humorous, and.....AWESOME.
Awesomely UN-awesome? Lmfao!
Thanks!
All I can say is AWESOME!!!
Great vid btw thank you Lars :)
Every time I think of ground pads I think of a friends dad who slept without one during WWII and suffered the rest of his life because of it.
Also had nerve damage from shell shock during the N African campaign......poor guy
Anyway, great video
Hey I'm new to your channel I heard about you from funky prepper in the UK. I'm in usa but I wanted to say I love the goal zero stuff I have solar charger and battery bank that all is comparable and has been working well for 3 years now. So maybe that is helpful. Stay warm and watch out for those predators 👍👍
Check out the Anker Power products. Power banks, cables, portable solar panels.
I bought a Anchor PowerCore 20100 2 years ago am VERY impressed about how it kept it's charge for a week in Below Zero Fahrenheit.
Spruce for the win. A good hunk of dry spruce is like a gallon of kerosene
In this world, you have to accept the awesome with the funky.😄👍
You have your own piece of gods country
Cold or not its still beautiful..
Spruce has a lot of pine pitch burns hot!
Hhhhhmmmm, wild boars! Typewriter or spear? Spear AWESOMER!
Made my day!
I love your videos mate 👌👌great knowledge...and I love your content 👊
Great work 🔥
You have a awesome channel!
I can see how these type fires are superior for heat production producing a wall of heat but they are always really smokey. Learning backwoods basics years ago I remember the pinnacle of the art of fire building for cooking was to build the fire with no or as little smoke as possible - you know so as not to give yourself away to the enemy or some such
What enemy?? There are no war around here.
You remind me of GRU... from Minions... You are awesome👍👍👍😊😊
Super jealous of that breakfast.
It was a good one :) Anyway when the fire was going.
Never fun to wake up in the cold. Made me think of waking up on the ground in the snow in Afghanistan. Much more goregous in Russia.
It seems you like to kind of punishing yourself. You are always doing the nastiest stuff with a smile on your face. I like that!
Out in the woods with a few things and lots of skills is pure enjoyment. It's why we go out......... and it's not punishing.
@Christopher Kavanaugh :D :D :D Let's say it's more like a "Challenge" for him :)
Lars is good people. I need to go visit. I need me a wife there
Awesome trip👍👍👍
Greetings, GR🤘
