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.

Picked up my suit last year. In the -35*C i had last week it was amazing. Tip it is sized for European folk for a north american get it bigger than you think.
I'm glad you like the suit :)
Same here, they fit my wife and girls😊
Dreoilín ÓCoigligh i wear a 2xl jacket and the 54 size coat is a close fit.
My suit arrived today. The fit and quality are excellent. Now I have to wait for the temperature to drop to try it out. Thank you Lars for this video and for directing me to the Sukonka website! In your words, "it's awesome"!
Awesome :) If it's windy, don't forget to bring some kind of windbreaker. Preferably a breathable one.
Lars, I am seriously impressed by the old world quality and craftsmanship and materials that are still available there. Here something like that would cost upwards of $1000.00 for a full suit.
Wool is the best fabric in the winter time. I recently went snowboarding for the first time and didn't have any synthetic snow pants or a jacket, so i wore my wool hunting jacket and pants. I was super warm and dry that day XD haha
Lars, I'm always impressed by your command of the English language. I would say it is better than many people I've heard for whom English is their native (and often only) tongue. At least it seems that way here in the U.S.
wa ya main mon?
That 'gray coat' has a pretty iconic look for the Soviet Union. -So much so that the other side of the Cold War practice range targets were outlines of soldiers with that coat on, called 'Ivan'. I'm glad the practicality isn't lost. Thank you.
Thanks for the link to the website - am definitely getting a suit
Love the way that your reviews are based on personal experience 👍👍👍
Lars don't forget you just need to roll around in the snow when wearing wool and instant snow camouflage lol😆.
I can't say enough good things about the Sukonka company and the people who work/run it.
They are excellent to deal with and get help from should it ever be needed and wonderful english communuication.
they are also an outlet for the hunter boots as well.
The suit I have is the warmest clothes I have ever worn and great in Canadian winter weather.
-40 windchill is still quite warm in the wool suit and winter hunter boots.
Those trousers are awesome. I've been rediscovering woollen clothing. I like wool because it has the greatest temperature range of comfort once you're used to wearing it. That makes wool really versatile so I can pack less.
Very true :)
Lars, I saw a report from one of our local News Stations that it was -85F in Siberia. It was so cold that Thermometers were popping! I know Siberia is pretty big. Never the less, stay safe my friend!
I recently purchased this from the Sukonka store, and at Vasiliy's request, I'm mentioning it here, along with a video review I made of the material, craftsmanship, and fit of it all. I also bought the Siberian Hunter Boots in the same order. Vasiliy was easy to work with, and I had the order within a month.
The suit is awesome, as awesome as you can imagine, and I'll definitely do some outdoors in it next winter. The coat especially I'll wear all winter because it not only feels great, but it *looks* great, too. The navy blue fabric through the slotted buttons are a great fashion statement (don't @ me). The hunter/outdoorsman and the professional alike can wear this coat with comfort and style, unlike typical camo coats, which are a little uncouth to people who stay indoors and write checks.
Great suit... a left over from the old 'Trench Warfare' era. Great if your stuck in a place with little movement. Plus the wool is 80% efficient in body heat retention if it become wet. The US made a similar suit for Bosnia called the 'Bear Suit'. Works great with the gortex suit. still have mine. But sucks ass once you start moving around. LOL.. Unless it's -35 F or colder, your going to sweat like never before. Again, thanks, great gear for sitting in a tree stand or being idle. But be ready to shed some of it if your moving around a lot.
just received my TAIGA(bibs/jacket) on Jan 19th . Less than 2 weeks!! Awesomeness from Russia. Sized for me at 5'6" 160lbs. Warm and wool rugged. Jacket plus bibs for TAIGA suit. Anorak plus pants other option. 162.00USD...all day. I will and do recommend this purchase. I have from last winter- the Boreal and Jack Shirt from Empire Canvas Works made from 2 USGI wool blankets I sent them. Beautiful and wool warm more expensive-Worth it?-YES And now my TAIGA suit. I hate to choose between ECW Boreal and Sukonka TAIGA...So I just flip a coin :)
Thank you! I sent a message about the suits and got a fast response in English everyone. Looking forward to my new wool gear! Survival Russia knows all the cool places! Varusteleka is top notch as well for any folks that haven't ordered!
Hello Lars. The trousers are like American Overalls. So one could call them "Overall Trousers". I used my same wool trousers and jacket with hood from Vasiliy this last winter. Really great.
That Heavy Duty Wool Suit is a great deal !!! Wool Clothing is incredibly expensive here in the States !!!!
I am getting a set of his Taiga pants and coat currently as a birthday present to myself. Look so awesome!! I hope they get to Michigan before winter is over, I want to use them rabbit hunting. AWESOME!!!
Living on the Alberta prairies it can get anywhere from +10 to -40 in the winter and windy. Those overalls look very tempting.
Sunday Awesomeness! Just the Ticket!😁😁😁
Хороший костюм, и спасибо за новых подписчиков!!!
Lars, please tell Mrs. Survival Russia we are looking forward for her to start her channel. It does not have to be anything formal or done on a regular schedule, judging by what other youtubers do. I believe any of the content would be well received and interesting. Meanwhile, my husband and I enjoy watching the SR videos that you have worked on as a family. Thanks, Connie & Jack
Did I mention this before? -I don't remember,-but the yakut blades need only sharpening on the flat side. Very handy, no worries about keeping the correct angle. To get them really sharp you need to strop the edge on both sides to get rid of the wire edge that forms after grinding/sanding/honing. If you don't have stropping compound newspaper sheets can be used for the final stropping as it contains clay, which is aluminiumoxide . . . which is an abrasive used for making sand paper.
You mentioned that before, but this is not exactly how the Yakut blacksmiths sharpen them. They do both sides. I will show that soon :) I saw one guy using grid as the last paper before stropping. All through the different grids, he did both sides. Interesting info on the news paper. How to use it exactly?
Overalls or, even better word: Dungarees, usually used for ones made from denim, but dungarees actually can be from any heavy or coarse cloth. First recorded in 1605-15, dungaree is from the Hindi word dungrī kind of coarse cloth
We have lots of sheep here, I asked a few and they all aggreed that wool is great for keeping warm, Norm from North Scotland (and its snowing tonight)
I used to have an old pair of surplus Norwegian wool pants that were great, except when going through the briars and they would collect every burr in the woods.
Good To Know! Thank You!
Survival Danish, pastry, that keeps you warm in negative temperatures, PLEASE make this video! Absolutely love the channel, this vid is great, working towards living a similar life! Thank you. Pink Ninja is the best !
wool is great ,it looks traditional and the snow didn't even stick on it
showing its features lol sounds familiar
atb

Hi Lars, The clothing item to which you are referring to is called "bibs and braces overalls " or "dungarees".
Best wishes from Bonnie Scotland !!!
I love wool, especially here in northern Canada, the weather today minus 25C this is a warm day. Last night it was minus 40C
so I stay in and make cooking videos for my channel.
I really like those trousers. Can't find them where I am. Stay warm Lars.
Awsome suit looks nice and warm
Watching too many of Joerg's videos, ja??
That looks to be an excellent suit, and $100 is an insanely low price for it; you'd be lucky here in the US to find just a 100% wool blanket for that price! I made my own wool suit a few years ago out of wool blankets that we call 'trade blankets' and it works very well, but I may have to try and get one of those as well now so I can use mine as a throwback, so to speak. Excellent video, stay warm!!
Hi. Great review. Thank you. Americans call the shoulder straps "suspenders". In English they are "braces". The type of trousers with front panel are called "dungarees" in English. Overalls are like a mechanics boiler suit. I hope this helps. Your English is very good though.
Thanks for the info!
Jörg Sprave from the Slingshot Chanel at 3:47 :D
It's great that you're being supportive to your friend Sergey VYATKA Hunter. I think it's great what you're doing.
Thank you :)
Funnily enough, today when I was taking a walk in the forest I was thinking I should get a pair of "overalls-style" trousers like those. Woollen clothing is very durable and versatile, there's a reason it was in such wide use for so long. I bet it would still be in wider use too if making good quality woollen clothing any kind of affordable was more common.
If one eats a little too much garlic, bacon and black bread, "the climate" in the trousers might be considered chemical warfare.
Wool is great when you're camping-- when sparks from a fire land on them. you just brush them off.. no damage. Modern synthetics instantly burn thru and now you've got a hole in your super-expensive pants. I'd rather have a pant that's durable under real-life conditions than something lighter that can't stand up to real use.
I've been using the US mil-surp synthetic fleece overalls this year. At only $7 they're not bad, but there's no substitute for wool.
Thanks Lars. Stay warm, Stay safe.
how can I not like it when awesome Lars is the host of the video ? I AM GOING TO LOVE IT . Lars I had try calling before and his site I could not get the English section to decide which wool suit I want nor the sizes I could get in English
Lars, your pronunciation is good enough. "Praacess" or "Process" either is acceptable. And understandable. Great wool pants now on my list. I would very much like to find a 2XL wool great coat at an affordable price made for Russian winters it would work in our Great Lakes Region. Minus 11°F here this morning. Great review. Best
And wool is very quiet when hunting no branch whip noise like some winter gear. Great vid😊
Very true. Super quiet and does not reflect light either.
Hey Lars, i have some ideas for you.
I would like to know more about indoor survival.
Like heating stoves,mass ovens, ventilation, and bla bla bla.
Things you do in russia that you have not seen anywhere else.
And stuff like that.
And thanks for making awesome videos!
👋
Thanks for second video today Lars stay safe mate ...
Let me show you its features- reference to the slingshot channel? :D
Both channels soaked in awesomeness!
I could have used that suit last week and in December when it was extremely cold in my city
I ordered a set in September from Sukonka. Overall I was pretty satisfied. I've worn mine quite a bit. -9F is the coldest I've seen this season..So I can't comment below that. I wear mine mostly as hunting clothing. Deep down I wish I had ordered the Angorak Set as I think it might be a better balance. For the price of something new, it's hard to beat.
These seem VERY similar to the wool my communist bulgarian/soviet greatcoats are made of. Very warm as long as you combine with the right layers underneath. They were still in use for parade duty for many years, as far as I know.
It most likely is the same material :)
👍💤💤💤💤 I think your wool clothing is excellent and it dries fast too always love your videos thanks for theView 🙋 KCMO. JIM
Great looking suite I'd love to own that kind of bibs for hunting ! Ill have to try that link ! Get the knife looks great love the saw work ! Lol take care brother
I contacted Vasilij last October, specified what i wanted(Heavy Duty Wool Suit ) and everything seemed all right at the beginning.After a few days I got a message from him that at the moment he didn't have the required size but it would be ready in 2 weeks-I told him I wouldn't mind waiting even longer, just in case to give him more time and not be too pushy.And that was all,no message from him ever since.Very disappointed.
I had similar experiences with many companies and online shops. Sometimes it's needed to write them to refresh their memories :)
Hey Lars I contacted Vasilij the other day and he thought he had sent it to me already .Anyway ,he is sending the pants and the jacket tomorrow and the price is $ 127 due to a bigger size I have ordered.Very happy.Thanks for suggesting that I contact him and remind him about the deal.I was so pissed off that if you hadn't responded to my complain I would do nothing about further actions.
I think the reason US military moved away from wool was because modern manufactured fabrics are as efficient and less bulky than wool. The exception might be a sweater of some kind.
what a great day 2 videos in one day! thanks
Great video on the suit, also, I really enjoyed the deep woods ride in the Survival Russia vehicle! You sure are having a good time out there and the subs and really getting up there. I don't know how you can read all comments and respond to some, that's a lot of work! Take care Lars and Happy New Year! also, how about a short video clip on how your son is doing. Thanks man!
Overalls have sleeve's, in the UK we call that "bib and braces" or "dungaree's" id love a pair though they look awesome : )
I got to get a pair of those for next hunting season
I think we call them dungarees, overalls are a more rugged onesie for doing dirty work in.
I love fleece clothing but you can't beat wool for warmth IMO. A $100 for those coveralls seems like a good price to me, good wool clothing has always been pricey here.
100$ for the coveralls AND the jacket :)
Wow, smokin deal.
Im going to get one for my dad too
They are called "bib" overalls and in warmer climates are commonly made of denim .
Thanks Lars , two videos in one day , total awesomeness ! Going to look into getting some of these .
pretty pretty awesome pants`!
Awesome video as always Lars!
I remember you making a video about this wool suit a while ago, it looks great!
I'll check out Sukonka in a minute. That's the same site I got those Summer Ichigi.
I had ordered the Winter Ichigi about a month ago, I hope they didn't get lost in customs!
These are a bargain! Thanks.
It's hard to beat wool! I should look at getting a set. Thanks for sharing with us. Take care.
G'day Lar's mate. We call them Dungarees in the UK and most Commonwealth Countries of our Ilk. Awesome gear and chat mate, too bloody warm for Aussie but i could have used them in Northern Finnish Lapland a few weeks back lol. Cheers mate. ATB Moose.
In the USA we call them “ overalls/ bibs”.
overalls...Farmer Johns, when they go bib-style (straps) over the shoulders.
When you said, "let me show you it's features" I had to hit subscribe!
In America we would xall those "overalls"....specifically, bibbed overalls. Then make farmer jokes. :)
they look awesome
I am waiting to see the knife,interesting how the knife is made.
Great information.
They are called Bib overalls in the US Lars.
Thanks :)
or just overalls, had they had sleeves and been shirt like, they are coveralls. It don't matter, we all know what you mean. lol.
And Bib and Brace in the UK
"In the -35*C i had last week it was amazing". It's hard go even imagine that cold. Peace
I just paused for a few minutes and found out the anorak and coveralls together is about $300. That's pretty good for something that will last for the rest of my life.
They are about 100$ for for both. Maybe 110 or 120$.
That's a awesome suit when I can I would like to own one .
Thanks brother👍
Always enjoyable
Rob from Oregon
Another awesome video, and those wool trousers look awesome. Thanks for the information my friend!
You are correct about your woolen overalls. I imagine if Cabellas or L.L. Bean sold them, the whole set it would be $379.95 USD...with additional Anorak $517.98 (three pieces). A suit like that will last a lifetime. Overalls are very useful overall. Another pleasant chat today. It looks like a good day for some pickle soup a black bread, smoked fish with lots of nice, hot, black tea. Пока
Thank you for great Sunday comment my friend :)
As a brit I always find it weird how Americans call 'Tea' 'Black Tea' as that's all we have here! Anyways enjoy your tea.
ScreenGames - As you know, we Americans are a barmy lot. Insane, every last one of us. When I was in the UK I got the strangest looks. I just said, "American". Take out =take away. TomAto=TomAHto etc. Chips are crisps, fries are chips and so on. I take my tea like "Builder's Tea". What other country uses Imperial measurement? Anyway, thank you for the best wishes and all the best to you also - mate. 😁🇬🇧✌👍
ADDENDUM. British tea is indeed superior. I order Typhoo & PG Tips by mail (post). American tea is bilge water comparatively.
Fred Thorne, from different shows and youtube programs I have watched where they are preparing their tea and drinking it, why would it matter ? It seems when they get done with the milk or cream and the sugar, they can't have over a 1/2 cup of tea at the max. ??
The trousers are very good I live in Poland this year we have no winter here ( east Poland) otherwise I would be tempted to buy some .Regards Barrie Watson
Lars, I have always loved wool, but where I live now, there are so many burrs and stickers in the woods, that I have taken to wearing a shell garment most of the time. Usually it is a Gorka suit or smock, and I am wondering if a normal-for-you size Gorka would fit over your wool suit? Mine fits great over my ex military trousers, but the wool suit looks bigger and bulkier than your Swedish wool pants. Thanks very much!
Bibs! (You speak really, really awsome English.) D
Bib trousers. Americans call them overalls sometimes.
Wool is amazing! Everytime! None of the synthetic material is not good as wool.For sure I will have sheeps in Russia.
Internet buffering and driving me nuts...rural living ha ha.
Great video
Joerg, err Lars, another awesome video. Thank-you for showing some of its features.
Just ordered the unlined Anorak and pants.
How did you like it?
I am an old guy and those type are “bib overalls”
I want to get an axe from that other russian company and I want to get a wool suit too from this company. I need help speaking with them. I want a 1.5 pound axe head or closest they have to it and a 19 inch handle. The wool suit size is strange, and it is unclear what size I need. I enjoy seeing videos like these. I love learning about this stuff
I find wool has the widest temperature comfort range of any fabric.
It has :)
I just ordered the hunting outfit. I mentioned your channel. There was some confusion about the size conversion from the EU to US standard. I hope mine fits ? I gave Vasiliy all my US measurements, Jean size , chest measurement, weight, and height so I hope all fits well upon arrival ? The price was very affordable $89.00 US , shipping was a little high , but even with that $140.00 is a very good price for this quality. I’m looking forward to receiving mine ASAP . Thank you for your referral.
I also bought my suit online and it fits very well.
I've been waiting for this video😉👍🏽
awesome!
Nice video. Have had some looks at the suit at Sukonka's homepage, but I think, that it is overkill for my needs. But tempting definitely. They look awesome. Nice day! :o)
Thanks :) Overkill for DK for sure!!
Lars (or anyone that can answer): Do you know of any reason a duster/watchcoat/oilskin would smell like asphalt from just walking around on the roads where there's traffic? It's to the point where it's hard to breath & sometimes I/m miles from home.
I wonder what adjective you would use if you were to see the aurora borealis or a meteor shower on a dark, clear night.
Very nice pants. I think they are called bibs, not overalls
Hi Lars do they take long to dry out with being made of wool.
