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.

I tend to hike with a flame thrower and burn ahead as I hike. Works well.

Nice try, Shlomo.
here in alberta we have a fire ban .
Schteve Ven Chris from preparedmind101 has one that would be perfect for that you should look it up
Wow... I never knew that they only crawl up! I didn't wear my shirt tucked in that's how I got bit... Thanks Lars I always learn something from your channel!
Happy Hunting from Kansas...

So is it possible to confuse a tick by hanging upside-down from a tree, or doing a hand stand? Make those ticks run around in circles, I will.
tuber hmmm...? what does that have to do with any part of the conversation? I know I can leave Kansas I was an OTR truck driver!
tuber
It went over everyone's head.
MoronicAcid1 lol
+tuber Wizard of Oz joke?
This is a very interesting video. When I was a child we never had to worry about ticks. The last 10 years it seems to be some kind of plague. Even my garden becomes a tick paradise.
Thanks for the clothing tip, I'm going to look around to find that kind of clothes here.
The flying bug was trying to steal the shot. Lol
I punched my monitor to death when I saw it
Photobomber
That is some good and very profound tick protection... I did not know that ticks do not crawl downwards. Very handy to know.
I was out hunting in eastern Oregon one time and I had an itch in the very top of my butt crack. So I scratched it and then I felt something on my finger. I looked and it was a damn tick holding on with it's back legs waving at me. I smashed that little POS on a rock. Cool intro you did Lars
Tucking my trousers in to my socks always seemed like a little bit of defense in a pinch. These days I wear gore-tex gaiters, I don't think they can grip on to that very well.
About 20 years ago, camping near Loch Maree up the north west of Scotland I managed to lose my dads Bowie knife. The next day I went looking for it, I was running through thick heather that was soaking wet. I thought it would be a good idea to pull my trousers up to save them getting soaked through. I never did find that knife!
I only realised my mistake the next day on getting home and jumping in a bath...then I could feel the wriggling in my legs! I had five of the little buggers in me, they must have been sucking my blood all night. Needless to say I freaked out a bit and started ripping them out and was left with a few heads still stuck in me..... SO, now I wear gaiters whenever I'm away. I have been tick free ever since.
Thanks for sharing Lars! I never realised there was such specialised anti-tick clothing.
Another helpful video, I didn't know that ticks won't climb downward. You must be very hot with all those layers and the high humidity. I just got my shoulder surgery yesterday at the VA hospital. I think they did a great job, and I'm hoping to get some videos out soon. Thank you for the great info brother, and you stay safe out there. Have an awesome week Lars!!
my bro and i fish an area known as "tick city" and while just sitting in a chair i find myself flicking 1 off every 15 min, so like u said checking yourself or others really helps. we will usually check our selves every time we walk through anything that looks "ticky" like tall grass or thick brush, just a quick 30 second to a minute check can go a long way, also dont leave cloths u have worn on ur bedroom floor and remember to check ur back packs and other gear before storing it in ur car, a lot of people get bit from ticks hanging out in their cars or in their house from a previous trip to the woods
I had a serious problem with ticks early spring. But i took your earlier advice and folded my pant sleeves in my boots and tuked my shirt in my pants. Haven't had a single Tick on me since. Thanks for the tips Lars and keep up with the awesome videos.
We had quite a lot of rain today, including thunder but no lightning. Thinking of your saying, Lars, Get out and get it done, well, we got out, but the blasted rain prevented us from getting it done...that's twice in less than a week. We spend our time photographing those flying insects, any and all kinds including bumble bees, hoverflies, wasps, honey bees, bee mimics, ugly flies as my partner calls them, shield bugs, lady birds, etc, etc, but we can't photograph them in the rain, they don't like rain and neither do we, so it becomes almost impossible to get it done on days like these including today. I'm sure that there are ticks around in the long grass, but I tend to tuck my trousers into my boots and fold the leg down over my boots forming that trap you speak of. We've never been bitten, stung or anything else that makes for an unpleasant situation...except the rain of course and even that is kept at bay, but not for cameras. Despite that one pays hundreds of pounds for photo gear, it's definitely not water proof. So, Get out there and get it done...Take care...
Quick note to say thanks for the great vids! I'm really enjoying your advice and seeing your adventures.
When we go out to the woods in the summer time, we would wear shorts and a light t-shirt and spray sunblock on our skin. The ticks don't like the "sticky" sunblock on their little legs. Also if a tick does manage to crawl up your leg, you can feel/see it better (in my opinion) better than trousers.
Good video Lars. We have a lot of ticks in the west of Canada, I had one burying into my loin a couple of years ago and one on my head. I check my self every day and ask my wife to help when I have been in the bush. Here in Canada a big issue is medics are reluctant to take the threat of Lyme Disease seriously. I know that the incredible Sami Norwegian Explorer Lars Monsen had Lyme Disease and had a tough time with it.
I am using elderberry against ticks. It is pretty common bush in here. So anytime I see some, I get some leaves, crush them and rub that onto my pants, sleeves, neck... It is working for me.
Thanks Lars , I always learn something awesome from your videos, that's for " dang sure " !
Interesting advise! That is the number one problem here. Tick borne Lyme Disease is rampant in Pennsylvania. You don't want to get that! You can suffer a lifetime of debilitating symptoms from just one overlooked tick bite. Mosquitoes can carry West Nile Disease and Zika at this latitude too but mosquitoes are much less of a problem in this area. I believe it is because they like to congregate in low lying and swampy areas. We are at a higher elevation being in the foothills of the mountains.
Was once working for English Nature clearing scrub when attacked by a swarm of horse flies.
Don't know if they actually swarm or had just hatched, anyway there were thousands.
I hadn't come into contact with them before and didn't know much about them. Suffice to say it was a quick learning curve as they started to devour us...we ended up sprinting through the woods and diving in the van :)
Plucked dozens of ticks off this year per usual. Fortunately southernmost fingers of the taiga warm up for a few weeks each year and the warmer weather reduces their numbers.
Bugs are bad around here now. You have to be on top of it to control them for sure. Good info!
Mosquitoes and ticks and flies... oh my. Autumn has got to be the absolute best time of year in your region. The mosquitoes and ticks and flies will be gone and it will be time to hunt. Yup, autumn.
Thanks for the info. I usually don't practice bushcraft in the summer here because of the ticks, heat, and humidity. I had a little scare about a month ago. My dr. thought I may had Lyme disease.
Great video as always Lars!
Nice tips for keeping the ticks off!
You gave me the creepy-crawlies watching this video. Now I feel like I have ticks on me! XD
I apologize for bringing this up a 3rd time, but I think permethrin would work really well for you. It lasts quite a while once you've impregnated the clothing with it, and it actually kills the ticks on contact. Real funky stuff.
You've sure been uploading a tonne lately! Thanks for all the great content!
I don't think we have anything similar to that anti-tick clothing here in the US, but I can't say that I've looked too hard for it. Pretty neat suit!
Great information. I do the same to keep ticks off. Great information and it works. As always keep up the great work.
Lars I like the new intro on this video. Ticks here in Ontario by the end of July are usually done or almost done but do get an early start. When wearing shoes or short boots I always tuck my pants into the socks. Keep in mind we have both deer and wood ticks with deer ticks being the Lyme disease carrying critters. Arm pits are a very great spot for them to hide. Thanks Lars
Thanks Fred :) Great info. I did not know about the Tick/Deer issue. We don't have deer here :)
Great information! If the tick already has bitten, you should pull it out as soon as possible. For a Lyme disease infection, the tick has to be in your skin for 12-24hours. Don't squeeze the body of the tick, as it might puke, which increases the risk of an infection. Now take a cigarette (or anything hot) and heat up the area where the tick has bitten for five minutes. The bacteria probably didn't spread that much at that time and they are very heat sensitive, which means they should hopefully be killed by this procedure. I don't know how it's about TBE though...
In addition to what you have said, I've read somewhere that if you're bitten by a tick, you can get an ice cube and gently press it on the tick, the cold will make the tick not want to bite you anymore.
bios47 didn't know about it. Did you try that? But you usually don't have ice cubes in nature, where ticks are active...
True, this is something that is only useful once you get home and notice you're bitten. I haven't gotten the chance to try it out yet. When my cats happen to come home with a tick it'll be the first thing I'll try(so far I've always used oil to make the tick easier to remove but it doesn't work very well).
I think the correct terminology is to ''latch on''. I can sometimes sense them crawling up my hairy legs, but the one that I didn't notice latched on and I never felt anything, I just saw its grey inflated body sitting on my upper inner leg whilst I was sitting in a Hotel doing my morning ablutions. Only thing I had was my hip flask with Irish Malt Whiskey in it so, I gave it a dose of that which it didn't like and it loosened its grip enabling me to remove it with head and body. It got the toothpick and cigarette lighter death as they all do when I find them on my dogs. No point flushing them down the loo as they don't drown according to what I have heard and read, but I might well be wrong.
interesting to hear that, as we usually (not always) have a good result with oil. Perhaps it depends on the oil and how viscose/runny it is? And we apply it a few times over 15-20 minutes to make sure the tick gets no air in its body to 'breathe'.
I like your videos . You always give real life situation tips and tricks.
Great suggestions. Using the insects habits against them. I've put up a link to this at Survival Threads too.
Thank you!
SULFER POWDER sprinkled around your ankles and wrist will help to ward off ticks and fleas and mosquitoes ... if you can stand the smell.
If you get a room or building that becomes flee infested or tick infested, sprinkle some sulfur powder on the floor and the next day the ticks and fleas will be gone.
Great tick advice Lars! We've got 8 major Tick transmitted Diseases locally and they are pervasive.
I've been bitten repeatedly by ticks. They seem to love crawling under the waistband of my trousers. I HATE ticks.
Thanks Lars, good advice. It's neat to learn about what really makes you TICK. Baddum-bum-tsh! Cheers brother from southern Canadian tick country
Thank you for the videos.
Great ideas if you live in a cool climate, but what if you live in a hot , humid climate. Texas was like 109 degrees last week. That much layering of cloths would cause heat stroke. We just spray legs and cloths with bug spray . My grand parents used pine sole and kerosene as a bug spray. Repels and kills ticks.
Great video. Good info. Thanks
That dome structure behind you at the end of the clip is interesting, It be interesting to do a clip on that. It looks like concrete and if so that is a hard shape to achieve as opposed to a much easier square or slab sided structure
got so itchy during parts of this vid but thoroughly enjoyed watching it. thanx man!
I subscribed to your channel 10/14 days ago I think it was, I really enjoy your video's. I was just wondering the aerial view taken by the drone of where you live and all the houses in that area, have you ever done a video about the buildings that are often seen in the background, I'm just curious as they are fascinating and I'd love to know more about them, how you came to live there it looks awesome especially the winter months, I'm from the UK and we don't really get snow, the last good snow fall of around 2ft which is a lot for the low lands of Britain, was back in 2010. not had much since, we are not geared up for snow if we get a couple of inches every thing comes to a stop lol. So when I watch you on your land with several feet of snow I really enjoy those videos. If you have talked about the houses and the area you live in I've not found that video, if you've not done such a video I for one would love to know more, just an idea. Take Care
Haha Lars - PRAY for Winter again. LOL. I want that GAZ from the Bonus clip. Can you disassemble it, pack it and send it to Bulgaria? wink
One thing to be in the ''болото'' of Siberia, but for us in Bulgaria, it is too hot for long trousers and we're mainly in shorts for many months. All I can do is check myself thoroughly paying special attention to the ''Wedding Tackle'' area (which man doesn't), under the arms etc. albeit, I've known of folk that got them attached to their skull as they drop from trees too.
Spring is usually the worst time for us, but when we have long periods of high temperatures and drought, the Ticks are rarely active, but if I went into the Forest then, they would be there waiting for their next Host, (they have 3 Hosts in their life cycle). I worry more about my 6 dogs and have to apply ''Spot On'' once per month during the spring, summer and autumn. These parasites are just there to test our resolve and at least they're not trying to blow us up or shoot at us and not all of them carry bad diseases they're just not pleasant to see or feel attached to your Meat and Two Veg.
No way would I have that injection your Wife forced you to have as you looked like Shite after that. Still, shows she cares, I guess. LOL.
Pay the shipping and it's yours :) This summer have been extremely wet. The ticks are having a great time I think.
Great information. Thank you.
My Ex has the characteristics of a Tick.
She said the same about You!
Starts at the bottom and works her way up? Sounds like a keeper.
Was anyone else itching the whole way through this video?
Unfortunately, Lyme disease has made its way into my neck of the woods. Certainly takes some of the joy out of going for a hike through the woods on a whim.
Great info and video
Those tick clothes/traps are brilliant!
In all the decades I've spent woodsrunning, camping, hiking, hunting and fishing this is the very first year that I've had one on me.
Never new that ticks only crawl up. Very good and usefull info Lars thank you!
That's what they do for a living :) Thank you too.
Amazing video great advice and your bushcraft is awesome amazing experience and thank you for your channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀
Great advise as usual Lars !
If you caught one don't pull it or put oil or alcohol on it. Brandy/schnapps is useful here to drink because it will get in your bloodstream and thick will be drunk and simply fall off intoxicated. Good drink or two, no more thick, double happy.
Lars Monson got lymes desease some years ago and made him ill for some time.Hes done amazing journeys through terrible winter conditions.
Great video. Some important information on ticks. I have never seen the "tick trap" on clothing here. I most admit, the multiple layers don't seem like a good idea after 25°C. DEET is bad for clothing, while peemethrin is not, but supposedly you need to let it soak in and dry. I gather used on dog and some farm animals for bugs and ticks too. It is hard to find here in Canada.
Funny thing that for all years i spent aroung Siberian and Altai forests and mountains high grass only 2 ticks was ever found on me, on my panama hat. For some reason ticks found all over my comrades but just ignoring me completely. Personaly using "gorka" suits, they have all the features to prevent insects and stuff but ticks never found on it anyway.
P.S.
Nicely done with changing intro audio. this one is MUCH better!
It looks so much hard work there ... can see all the bugs around the camera.. here in England we are lucky enough not to have quite such an issue, although I would love to have your winter
There is just no way I could live there. Watching your videos make my eyes water from seeing all the bugs on camera.
Here in Wisconsin the mosquito is our State Bird, but I think you may have more of them than we do!
Them mozies we're driving me crazy just watching it on my phone. I would of gone mad :/
those mosquitoes are even trying to get us the viewers! :))
Good info brother
Here in Philippines we are not too worried about ticks, since they do not spread Lime desease. If ever we get a tick sucking away at us, we just pull it off.
nice gear. thank's from Wisconsin
Wearing headphones and watching these videos, it's hard not to start slapping my neck with the buzzing sound around the camera's mic.
If you catch ticks in the trap on the clothing how do you dispose / kill them ? Another great vid Lars and many thanks for your time and effort mate.
I removed two ticks climbing on my legs during my last forest trip, so if you are in a tick infested area, wear a pair of trousers like a gorka !
New music suits your channel, Lars. I like it.
Thank you :)
I feel lonely, Lololololonely You're the one and only :D
Hätte nicht gedacht dich hier zu finden; bin sogar Erster.
Danke für deinen Kanal und deine Mühe.
Here in the West we eschew "tick suits" in favor of chemical repellants like permethrin and DEET. The permethrin is especially effective on ticks and mosquitoes, they die on contact with treated clothing.
I agree. I use permethrin spray on all my early season hunting gear. Instead of DEET (N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), I have been using picaridin (icaridin, aka 1-(1-methylpropoxycarbonyl)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine). Picaridin repellents do not plasticize polymers and are a bit nicer on the skin, in my opinion. I have been preferring picaridin products over the DEET ones for quite a few years.
Permethrin spray goes on the outer garments - only wear them AFTER they have dried - and are very effective. Repellents are used when necessary at those entry point gaps - wrists, neck, and ankle openings. Tick-borne disease is a serious business now in North America. Something straight out of the old Soviet bio-weapons program, for sure. Come to think of it, I saw a little red star on one of them.
Early pre-season hunting preparation trips have made me protect my head, too. The mosquitoes are usually so thick, it is like having a swarm of little vampires making their way into and onto all exposed facial areas - eyes, ears, nostrils, lips. Thick like a bug fog. It really is unbearable without something to keep them away.
Keep up the great vids, Lars. These mosquito ones make me squirm, though.
I soak my shoe laces in diesel fuel. I helps in Virginia.
Cancer though...
Excellent video again Lars! Did not know you had so many concerns with ticks! As always JESUS Loves you. And in my prayers.
Jason
Just come across your videos, never realized ticks only crawl up, we use neat neem oil on all our dogs not sure how it works but it does. Look forward to watching some of your other videos, thanks.
Hi. This is was good video. Can you tell what is that beton construction behind the Gaz 69?
Permethrin is effective against ticks also.
Okay I have googled. tics in NZ and we do have them we have a introduced 3 host cattle tic now I'm worried I was living in blissful ignorance , thanks for ruining my day Lars. Lol.
forget the deet, sawyer permethrin has the perfect strength for treating gear without damaging it
I like the new intro music!
Zecken, or ticks are for me nearly bad as spiders. I do not like to make endorsement, but maybe you will search here for "sacki + zecken" and "df-outdoor + zecken" (it is in german). They were talking about a product thats protects that ticks will fall off. I also use this, when I am going to a "friedwald" to visit my family, never had a tick.
Lars, can you make a video how you make bacon, the whole proscess from pig to finish product ready to eat?
Good stuff. Really liking this channel, and makes me wish I'd hurry up and plan a trip to Russia
I hear napalm works pretty well against mosquitoes as well as ticks.
If you don't want to wear all that heavy gear. The best thing and easiest to do is pull your long socks over your pant legs. You can usually see them traveling up the pant legs and pick the tick off, bro!
That looks like an interesting old truck you have there. What year make model all that stuff is it ?
Great new intro song!
I got one right on the end of my knob. I now have a freckle where it was.
I just learned what a tick also means in english. Thanks!
Hey Lars is that pants and shirt a Gorka style suit or how would I find them on eBay ? I really like that style of pants
'In jungle survival school in Florida I was issued women's pantyhose by the US army . Yes, a whole Infantry Battalion in women's underwear. They worked, but you don't feel so manly putting them on. Some guys cut the crotches out for comfort and you can imagine where the ticks and leeches congregated. Now I just wear underarmor because it works just as well and you don't have to endure the hazing from your friends.
Brilliant info Lars, How did your ancestors survive?
I go to the forest a lot and i've never seen so many ticks as this year before. They are getting out of hand.
Good info on ticks not crawling down, didnt know that. Do ticks there carry lyme disease? Lyme disease is no joke, long term issues if not caught and treated, I got lucky saw the bullseye rash and got treatment.
Hey Mr. Survival Russia! "Chicks" crawling up your pants are a GOOD thing!! LOL!
Just having some fun with you!
Love your videos! GREAT STUFF!
I didn't know Lars recorded so close to a Formula 1 racetrack.
Interesting new music choice.
Some of the troops at Fort Leonard Wood In Missouri wear kitty cat flea and tick collars around their ankles. Some serious tick country there.
That sounds quite awesome actually :)
??????!
What's with the MMA gloves?!
Fighting bears?! lol
In Spain once the swamp mosquitoes managed to drill through my kevlar motorcross gloves into my top knuckles. I expect those little bastards are even tougher where he is, lol
I love the airiel views of Russia and your land! could you explain the view of your intro video
This is really odd mate, i removed a Tick yesterday after arriving home from Queensland pigging and deer hunting for the last three weeks. lol. Strange. Very little Lyme disease here thank God. Nice vid mate. Cheers Moose.
I hope it was a great hunt Moose. So deer have also been imported to AUS some time ago?
The possums are native to Australia and they were exported to NZ where they thrive.
Thanks for sharing that moose. My wife wants to shift to Queensland and I'm undecided however I now have another reason to stay in NZ. Mind you there is a lot of things that might kill you in Australia so I expect tic,s are well down the list.
Great times brother, shot a nice Fallow buck, good head on it and back straps were lovely, few does and plenty of pigs mate. All the boys freezers are full again, just the sodding editing to do now. lol. Cheers Moose.
lol yeah mate, well down the list. 👍
The sounds of those mosquitoes gave me instant anxiety
Something about America..we like our chemicals. I think chems have their place, but we over use them on this side of the planet. I didn't know about clothing lines that had 'tick traps' in them. It's new to me, but so simple it's obvious, so i think i'll have to start dressing a bit different when i'm out and about in the heat of summer. Thanks for sharing!
What do you do with your clothing when you come back home? We used to wash clothes at +60 to kill the ticks while they are trapped in it lest they spread through the house.
I've got two daughters and my youngest is a tick magnet but my other and I never have them on us but normally find at least 3 on her after a hike ???? wonder if they like certain people more than others
Gidday Lars, just wondering if you were planning on getting another dog? Mentioning the ticks had me wondering. Regards :-)
Because a guy with 2 kids, living in darkest Russia, needs a dog. A dog for the pink troll to play with, to warn of bears, and just for the company.
Would a Gorka suit work for mosquitoes and ticks. And which company makes the best Gorka suits?
