Extreme Mountain Storms | The Old Gray Wolf and Me | Velebit
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 02. 2020
- To experience a wild mountain at the time of the strong storms is really something special. Velebit mountains with their extreme weather conditions. "Bura" is a very strong cold wind that blows from the northeast onto the Adriatic region of Croatia - most common in winter causing dangerous blizzards - occurs when cold air crosses the mountains from the east and descends to the coast. It is commonly classified as a gravity wind. It often reaches speeds of more than 100 km (60 miles) per hour and has been known to knock people down and overturn vehicles. 220.7 kms per hour is the speed record measured on February 4th 2012 (bridge to Krk island). 248.4 kms per hour is the top speed of wind ever measured in Croatia on December 21th 1998 - blowing to Maslenica on the coast from Velebit South (DHMZ data).
Often, winds are blowing for days. The night seems to last longer. I was excited and I think enjoying such the experience. But long stay in such the wind and rain is not pleasant to anybody not even wolves. Lik is almost seventeen here, dear old wolf. Through years, however, he has become more sensitive and vulnerable.
We both got well wet until we reached the Land Rover and went to find calmer place deeper in the mountains. Although he never liked to accept any support or help this time he allowed me to cover him with a blanket to get him warm. Then I told him to get into my old truck so that both would hide from the storm that did not stop. But soon I realized that he did not have nerves, cluttered space ... I expected that, the intense scent that the strong wind was bringing occupied him. It was easy for him to read what the wind brings ... the smells of his own kind ... the wolves we've been waiting for ....
The next morning his tallest son arrived first, alone. (Pavle Balenovic - Archive footage 1997).
Note: This video was published back on Sep.8, 2017 titled as "The mountain at its best | the old gray wolf and me". Awhile ago (2020 with 6000 views) it got copyright claim on audio data. I renewed the audio and edited this video using my old archive footage, taken myself in 1996 in the Velebit mountains with a sort of obsolete quality. In that time as an amateur I simply couldn't afford any thing better to film with.
Thanks for watching. (Pavle Balenovic).

HRVATSKI PRIJEVOD:
Doživjeti divlju planinu u vrijeme kad je bruse snažne oluje zbilja je posebno iskustvo. Velebit. Vjetrovi pušu danima. Noći kao da još duže traju. No ja sam uživao uzbuđen. Dug boravak na vjetru i kiši nikom nije ugodan pa ni vuku. Godine su i njega ipak učinile ranjivijim i osjetljivijim. Lik je tada napunio gotovo sedamnaest godina, stari dragi vuk. Dobro smo pokisli obojica dok nismo stigli do mog Land Rovera. Iako nikad nije volio prihvaćati ičiju pa ni moju pomoć ipak je dozvolio da ga pokrijem dekom da bi se ugrijao. Onda sam ga u suton naveo da uđe u moj stari džip da bi se obojica sklonili od oluje koja nikako nije prestajala. No nije dugo podnosio skučen, zatvoren prostor ... uhvatila ga je očekivana nervoza vjerojatno zbog intenzivnih mirisa koje je jak vjetar vani raznosio. Lako je bilo vuku čitati što vjetar donosi ... mirise pripadnika njegove vrste ... vukova koje smo čekali .... (Pavle Balenović - arhivske snimke 1997).

Ovaj video ponovno postavljam, djelomično obnovljenog tonskog zapisa zbog prigovora YT-a koji se tiču autorskih prava na glazbene podloge koje zapravo ovdje ne postoje.
Nestvarno,neopisivo,predivno i respekt Pavle💪
Upravo ove riječi dokazuju koliko smo se udaljili od prirode kojoj smo nekad jedino i pripadali.
Sada se divimo stvarima koje možda to uopće nit ne zaslužuju i vrijednostima koje to nisu.
Hvala puno, puno na komentaru i moj pozdrav.
Ja ne mogu da vjerujem da si uspio snimiti sav period i tako predstaviti.
Sve pohvale iz Bosne.Svaka cast na privrzenosti i ljubavi.Dijelim vas video
Malo po malo, kroz sve te godine gotovo uvijek je mala amaterska kamera bila uz mene ... činilo mi se vrijednim zabilježiti bar dio tog posebnog iskustva. Često nisam uspio uhvatiti sve što se događalo a i nisam imao dovoljno novaca za dovoljno filmskih i digitalnih traka.
Puno sam avantura snimio foto aparatom ili zapisivao u svojevrsni dnevnik. Njega su mi ukrali vukovi jer su mi često krali opremu i hranu. Našao sam ga nakon 15 dana rastrganog prilično daleko no uspio sakupiti komadiće, polijepiti , prepisati i na osnovu toga napravljen je ovaj film. Na ovom istom kanalu je još oko 150 kraćih i dužih filmova o mojim iskustvima iz divlje prirode i više sekvenci sa vukovima pa kad nađete vremena pogledajte.
Hvala puno na komentaru i veliki pozdrav.
Were so lucky you filmed these days with your buddy. A true gift. You were both so lucky to have had each other
Nicely said, my friend ... and it is still a special feeling to me whenever I recall those days.
Thank you very much for the comment.
pogledao s divljenjem...legendarno :) Lik i Pavle...respekt
Hvala ti puno, Ivica. Dobro je znati da mi trud nije bio uzalud jer u ona su me vremena teško prihvaćali i shvaćali čak i moji u obitelji.
I am so happy to see this new upload from you dear Pavle. I can't even begin to imagine just how intense these extreme mountain storms are and it was pretty amazing to see and hear through the footage you were able to capture. It was lovely to see you and the old gray wolf again. I hope you have been doing well and I wish you a wonderful week.
Oh, I must admit that it is interesting to watch even for myself alone, now. Those days were so interesting that it is a pleasure to live them through once again if only virtually. I can't wait to continue editing another round of such the documentaries based on my archive footage that still haven't been seen.
I need some time only, let me say so, to sort the "software" that controls my health at the moment.
Thanks for watching.
As I would like to live near you, to make those trips to the forest and be able to film every moment of nature and the feeling of darkness. Thank you for sharing, I wish you all the best
The area that I am visiting for so many years now is about 200 km away from my home, the capital of Croatia where I live since I was born. The trips to the mountains have to be decently organized especially when winter comes ... then usually it is extremely hard to approach it just because of storms and deep snow with huge drifts on the roads. Often roads are closed for quite long periods of time till weather calms down. If it is so then it is easier for me to climb the roads from the sea side (west) as far as I can reach by four wheel drive truck. There I leave it and continue like hikers supplied with the equipment for as much days as I plan to stay. Days are short then so not much daylight remains to travel safer. Summer is easy and simple compared to those severe winters that last far to long. Though to find drinking water is a huge problem in such the area .Rocky area with thousands of caves and holes that suck all the rain quickly. Water needs to be carried in backpack what is never enough, This year shocked us all because we had no snow almost at all. Imagine the area where the snow heights usually reaches 3 meters suddenly has 1 cm of it. Climate changed dramatically and that effects the wildlife very much. Bears, for example will awake too early and they will find no food.
What is going to be with cubs and will their mother have enough milk to feed them and survive?
Who knows what the future will be like.
Thank you my friend for watching.
You are a master of evocative cinematography Pavle. This is most certainly the most moving footage I have seen this year. Thank you for sharing these intimate moments with us. They are very precious.
Great words my friend., indeed. You can't imagine what the emotional situations I was passing through
those days. It was even worse for I knew their fears especially the bonding between us.
I always remember my thoughts that in fact they were waiting me to join them completely. To move and search for new area once cubs get ready to travel. It would be a real honor and I was proud because of that ... but often I realized that I surely wouldn't ever be able to become real wolf like they are ... even their tiny, little cubs by birth.
Your story with Lek hits me hard, deep in my soul. I'm sitting here tearing up against my will just thinking about it and how it all happened, because the more I think about it, the more bittersweet it seems to me, even thought it all, more or less, worked out in the end, thanks to your efforts. You really loved Lek and tried to give him the best life, against the odds, and he loved you, even against his wild instincts. You both made a connection and your story shows so much about the nature of our human and animal lives here on Earth, and our relationships. It's a really beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Thank you for your kind words and above all for your understanding. I painstakingly filmed these additional sequences, not to mention editing them... precisely so that viewers would better understand my relationship to these magnificent wild creatures. Although each video has a written simple description, I used almost no words as a comment with the intention of not disturbing the atmosphere, which should be as authentic as possible.
Yes - you did well! All of that comes through. I love the lack of human speech in your videos, they are more authentic and in the animal's realm this way. Really amazing work!!! And like I said before, so important for people to understand this story. Your video diaries are real gems! @@PavleBalenovic
Lovely! 💙💙
I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Take a time and check the rest of my uploads until I publish some new. You're welcome.
beautiful video.
Quite enough said for a man to get satisfied for the efforts invested.
Thanks for watching. You are always welcome.
Words cannot express Pavle how this reaches, touches me deep inside. The bond that you have with Lik and his kind, the mountains, your environment is beautiful beyond words. Thank you Sir. Paul 😊
You can imagine that I was fully aware that those days won't last forever. It wasn't easy at all and
all kinds of risks I was afraid of. It was even harder for me for I knew their fears, too. And beside that the time came when I had to leave them. Perhaps for Lik it was something that he simply couldn't understand nor accept. My feeling I do not like to even recall.
In that time I might say that that camera that I was occupied with helped me not to think too deeply.
And helped me realize my ideas and the plan. All for the sake of their survival in the wild.
Thanks Paul.
@@PavleBalenovic Yes Pavle I understand... no thing lasts forever although as humans we wish that it would. Facing loss is almost harder to bear than the loss itself. Nothing is permanent but the memories last as long as we do 😊
@@PaulOutdoors Exactly ! Sharing them with others makes it all much easier.
Life goes on and I still have those magnificent mountains to visit.
You were so lucky to have had such a beautiful bond with Lik and vice versa. It sure must be so nostalgic to view all these nice memories.
The weather was so harsh indeed and so powerful.
Thank you for sharing this trip with us.
I must admit that it still isn't easy nor am I ready to visit the area where I released whole the pack back in 1992. The truth is that I was trying hard to avoid it all these years ... not to become followed by wolves what could cause them checking other people and meet hunters in the worse case.
But I visited Lik's grave a few years ago ... hope I will do that this year as Tin said he'd like to see the area.
Perhaps it is the time to do that.
Thank you Tara.
@@PavleBalenovic Hello Pavle,
Hope you and your son will make it this year to this area which you are ready to visit now.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
@@NamaSika Let God bless your words... I believe that despite all the troubles and obstacles that life brings, there always has to be some light in front of us. If it is something like seeing that special area in the wild again ... the place that I treated like my own home during so many years ... then no medicine can be better to heal any pain. Thank you for supporting my own hope.
We will do our best ... I need not even to ask Tin whether he wishes to go.
I enjoyed this sooo much ~ Put together so nicely, as always & a treat to see beautiful Lik, much older & always close to you ~ I hope you are well ~Xx
Oh, yes it is now hard to believe that we spent a bit less than 18 years together. Imagine.
There is so much to be said ... I remember how interesting it all was. I couldn't leave my camera at all
and it changed my eyes ...I was afraid not to loose something ... For me that story was so important and I really wanted to show it to others. The truth about those magnificent creatures seen upon my own experience. There is still much more I'd like to publish ... hope soon I'll be ready to continue editing.
Thanks for your nice comment.
@@PavleBalenovic Always a pleasure ~ Looking forward to your next project...
Very interesting video
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Delim. sve tvoje videe❤
Nadam se da će bar neki uživati ili naći nešto interesantno u mojim iskustvima.
Trudio sam se snimajući ih i montirajući. Puno ti hvala.
Pavle krasne snimke. Iz tih te se dana ja sjećam. I tog Land rovera. Fantastičan je osjećaj za oluje biti u divljini a sklonjen u brvnari, šatoru ili autu. Sa još i vukom pored sebe mogu si samo zamisliti.
Kad već spominješ taj je stari autić prevrtio samnom 470 000 km ... zamisli, uglavnom vukući konja u prikolici jer sam tako zarađivao da bi onda trošio na vukove. Nisam to spominjao i zapravo maksimalno skrivao svoje strasti prema onim planinama. Čak me ni moji više nisu ni ispitivali.
U nekih 12 godina taj je auto prošao gotovo 20 000 km Velebita van ceste... a to i sam možeš zamisliti.
Ti su mi kilometri upravo značili najviše i omogućili da se ovi snimci uuopće mogu ostvariti. Nije bilo lako i možda sam previše riskirao. No kad sam se već uvalio trebalo je gurati do kraja.
A nagrada? ... osjećaj da se i u najcrnjoj noći više ničega ne bojiš ... pa da i vukovi dođu, ...
i stvarno oko mene su noću mirovali raštrkano po padini vukovi. Moji vukovi ... i više od toga.
Provjeravajući noću ima li koga uokolo ... onako baterijom uz čelo, uz tihi zvižduk da navedem pažnju bilo kojeg stvorenja da se osvrne i pogleda prema svjetlu, znao sam brojenjem ustanoviti da više nisu samo moji vukovi. Noći su bile naše. Danju sam ih teško mogao viđati jer bi lijeno mirovali u hladu ... dozivao bi pokojeg no bez efekta a onda bi shvatio da mi je taj čak iza leđa,.. posramljen što ga nisam spazio jer je dobro kamufliran u svoje krzno ... a znam da mu nije bilo jasno kako ga to ne vidim i dalje dozivam.
Noću sam gotovo glumio da sve vidim a zapravo bio ko slijepac naspram njih ... čak i kad bi puzao s kamerom da snimim siluete vukova ... što je bio jedini sigurni način za noćne snimke s opremom koju sam imao. Tako bi "nagazio" na nekog sklupčanog koji bi uz kratko režanje odskočio začuđen.
Bili su već veličine odraslih a nevrijeme i zima za njih nisu bili problem.
Kako vidiš ... puno mi detalja navire iz "diska" u glavi ...
Nedavno sam bio na onoj vožnji kroz Velebit sa sinom i u sebi primjetio kako mu nit ne spominjem neka mjesta koja me podsjećaju na neke od događaja ... naime nije me ni pitao jer ni ne pretpostavlja koliki su veliki , ogroman teren ti vukovi pokrivali. I nitko ih uopće ne viđa.Sam sebi ne mogu vjerovati da sam imao snage pratiti ih tolike godine i kasnije.
A osjećaj ... kad te u zoru, visoko na nekoj travnatoj kosi probudi sunčeva zraka i kad se poželiš pomaknuti i skloniti od nje pa te iznenadi režanje. Lik ! Smeta mu što se odmičem jer se i on grije stisnut uz mene.
Njegovo je krzno uvijek toplo i kad je mokro. Bili smo isto tako skupa jednom zimi kad mi je bura na spustu gurnula auto u stijenu. Vezao sam lancima auto, paketreger za neko korijenje a mi smo "prespavali" uz kotač Landrovera jer unutra nije bilo sigurno. Mokri od bljuzge nastale mješanjem snijega i kiše. Divota, Lika je pomalo nervirala moja mala al ipak prisutna panika i neki razumljivo ljudski strah.
No unatoč svemu i takve sam snimke donio doma i sve do sada tek mrvice objavio.
Oprosti za poduži odgovor ... ponijelo me malo a još se svega i predobro sjećam.
Pozdrav.
@@PavleBalenovic ovo je pravo bogatstvo...
Dear Pavle, it was so nice to see again this old video with that courageous old wolf running freely. Usually he is on a lead in case of running into somebody but in that kind of weather only the foolhardy would consider taking a walk so I guess you felt free which was so nice to see. The two of you have been in more adventures, especially when Lik was younger, than more people experience in a lifetime. Luckily you have all kinds of footage to prove it as if that was necessary. I really enjoyed seeing the lighting strikes which must have been particularly hard to gauge and get but you succeeded admirably. As usual, my dear friend, your editing was perfect and I enjoyed seeing old Lik again.
ywm
What I was always afraid of were hunters. I really hated them. I never switched the lights on my truck when arriving by night. Even stop lights were disconnected ... someone could see me in the night. People knew well that I got used on driving with no lights by darkness. People usually visit other areas and in summer while after the mountain is mostly free. I must say that people in general even hunters here
do not move when dark comes ... wolves and me, we enjoyed from dusk till dawn the most. Besides as you noticed ... storms were the time when winds were hiding us.
Thanks for your great words and the comment I really appreciate.
@@PavleBalenovic
Yes I can see quite well that darkness was your friend and Lik"s too I might add. Those were the good old days....
ywm
@@temp24Lno5 I'd add that most of the life in the wild is active just during the darkness when we barely see what is in front. I didn't need much to stop counting and measuring the time by days.
Even to my old friend the Moon ... I changed name to "noćno sunce" - the night sun. Most people can not even imagine being in the woods by night. I had to get used on that although I wear glasses and even today do not see far as easy as many others.
... but certainly those were good times.
YWM
Ucitelj nam ponekad pokazuje vase vide-e i jako mi se sviđaju. Zeljela bih ici na izlete poput vasih s roditeljima, ali ne idemo na izlete bas cesto...
Jako mi je drago to znati. Čini mi se da unatoč svemu što se danas mladima nudi ipak im pomalo nedostaje onoga čemu istinski pripadamo. Priroda. Ne zato što vam pokazuje baš moja snimljena iskustva već zato što osjeća da takve teme zaista trebaju biti dio u stjecanju znanja kod mladih, svaka čast tvome učitelju. Koliko mi je poznato ni škole danas nemaju neke mogućnosti nit sredstva za organizaciju prektične nastave u koju bi izleti u prirodu trebali biti svakako uključeni.
Zapravo ako nikako i kad već s roditeljima nemaš prilike trebaš odlučiti sama. Ako ne još onda kad dođe vrijeme. I ne brini ... ni ja nisam počeo posjećivati planine dovoljno rano ... po mome. Zapravo tek na studiju no ne u okviru nastave već učlanjenjem u studentsko planinarsko društvo. Kad tako kreneš lako je brzo naći vlastite afinitete prema prirodi općenito. Priroda je neiscrpan izvor svih energija ... izraz koji se često koristi no najbitnije da svatko nađe svoj dio i smjer. Dok je nekima interes društvo, rekreacija u prirodi, nekoga fotografija i inspiracije za pisanje i slično, mene su odvukli tragovi životinja.
Dalje ti ne trebam opisivati. I do tada sam bio bar blizak životinjama ... psima, koje smo uvijek imali doma, konjima, s kojima sam radio i svim tipičnim domaćim životinjama uz koje sam odrastao.
Interes za one samostalne, slobodne, "čista prirodna stvorenja" samo je moja nezaustavljiva znatiželja kojja se vremenom pretvorila u strast i posebnu ljubav..
I evo, na istom sam putu čitav život ... život koji je zaista prekratak da bi sve što čovjek započne mogao i dovršiti. Da se ponovno rodim čini mi se da bi opet tragove počeo slijediti.
Ne birni zato, jer već gledajući filmove ovakve kao što je ovaj što je srećom svima dostupno već si stekla dovoljno iskustva da se sigurnije osjećaš i u divljini. A tamo čovjek treba biti razuman i svjestan da zakone prirode treba slijediti a ne prkositi im.
Kad već imaš toliku želju budi uporna i ne zaboravi ju. Za početak ne treba pretjerivati i počni da tako velim, malim koracima i u durštvu od povjerenja. Brzo će se slagati iskustva a njima sigurnost i pouzdanje.
Pozdrav i puno sreće. (Pavle B.)
Hi ...long time
Your video Pavel made me feel wishing so much to be like you in nature .I felt so close ..so touched by every moment
Thanks so much !!
It is nice to hear from you again. Long time, as you said .. in fact I wasn't uploading much recently,
because of various reasons. Hope in the future I will be able to continue filming and editing continuously as I used to before. It is nice to hear that you enjoyed watching the video ... the old one that I had to remake so that it can be watched with no problems at all. ... for all the viewers who like and respect wildlife and nature. Thanks for commenting.
@@PavleBalenovic Thank you ....you bring something so special..so natural
Predivan video 😍
Bile su to godine kada sam doživljavao najneobičnija, neočekivana i možda jedinstvena iskustva iz svijeta divljine.
Bio sam svjestan da se takvo nešto može doživjeti samo jednom. Srećom uz iznimnu upornost, trud i rizike svih vrsta
uspio sam kamerom zabilježiti neponovljivo. Osobno, bila mi je neizmjerna čast doživjeti takvu prisnost
sa istinski veličanstvenim stvorenjem kakav je vuk.
Pozdrav i hvala puno na komentaru.
Very intimate movie 👍
It is amazing how strong emotions these memories can cause even after that long period of time.
It must have been a special experience. Something really worth filming and sharing with others.
Today it often looks to me like a dream ... they were really waiting for me to follow them.
What kind of a wolf I could become ? ... after I succeed to return back to my own kind ... human kind I realized I can never be equal with them but it happened that Lik's bonding was perhaps even stronger than mine... he, at the end decided to come back to my world where he was raised in fact.
Although there he used to howl often, warning me frequently that the time has come for us two to visit the family .,.. the family that remained in those magnificent mountains. So we did visit them many times till our last trip together ... when I buried him high in the mountain ... I remember well it was January with a lot of snow ... I needed two days to carry his dead body where I decided him to rest.
Vaših videozapisa se jednostavno ne mogu nagledati... Trag koji ste vi i Lik ostavili na Velebitu je ne izbrisiv. Hvala vam što i dalje dijelite s nama vašu priču. Dragi naš Pavle, živili!
Jako mi je drago čuti takve riječi ... kao zadovoljstvo a naročito duševnu naknadu za sav taj dugogodišnji trud, sve moje strahove, neshvaćenost, neodobravanja, prijetnje koje su mi upućivane ... za sve patnje i rizike kroz sve moguće vremenske prilike i neprilke u gotovo vječno mokrim cipelama ma koje vrste bile ... i ona kronična strepljenja radi vječnog nedostatka sredstava da bi mogao napuniti rezervar tog starog klimavog džipa i sigurno se tada vraćati doma. Zahvaljujući potpuno samostalnom osobnom trudu u snimanju i montaži uspio sam olakšati taj teret prilično emotivnih trenutaka koji su duboko kao tragovi urezani u sjećanju a teško se mogu držati u memoriji bez da se podijele sa drugima. Srećom, iako još uvijek mali dio ipak sam uspio neke trenutke iz svog tog iskustva ovdje objaviti. Nadam se da ću imati snage da još puno toga prenesem svima zainteresiranima ... onima koji razumiju a naročito onima koji cijene prirodu i životinje. Oni to zaslužuju.
Još uvijek odlazim u Velebit no iskreno, često se tužan vratim. Upravo zato neke sam detalje i saznanja već odavno počeo skrivati. Takav stav možda donekle doprinese sigurnosti i opstanku prirode koju još imamo čast uživati.
Uskoro kako se nadam, objavit ću još jedan prilično dug video ili niz kraćih s prilično dubljim opisom mog odnosa sa vukovima i osobnim iskustvima iz tog drugačijeg svijeta divljine.
Hvala vam puno na posjeti ovom kanalu i lijep pozdrav.
@@PavleBalenovic vjerujte mi, mi koji uživamo u životinjama i prirodi cijenimo vaš trud, vaš kanal je mjesto na koje dođem kad sam udaljen od Velebita a zaželim ga se.. Naša je vječna obveza sačuvati prirodu, od ravne nam Slavonije, mora plave Dalmacije do planina oca Velebita... Vrijedimo onoliko koliko čuvamo zemlju koja nam je život dala. Želim vam svako dobro i svaki novi video isčekujem nestrpljivo! Sjetim vas se svaki put kad odem do Velebita. Hvala vam! Za vaš trud i muku! Velebit priča mnoge priče, ali vaša mi je srcu najmilija! Lijepi pozdrav!
@@deltamark6950 Posebno mi je drago primiti ovakvu poruku koja iznimno rijetko stigne na našem jeziku. Na neki način razočaran iskustvom u odaziv naših ljudi na teme kojih sam se držao na ovom kanalu gotovo da je engleski jezik postao jedini kojim opisujem svoje filmove. Kao da ta obaveza o očuvanju prirode koju spominjete teško može stići do uha našeg čovjeka. Naravno da se u potpunosti slažem sa svakom riječi jer to je jedina istina. No plaši me upravo jedan primjer koji se dogodio kad sam postavio film: Wolf Attack Sequence (Tulove grede) Velebit": czcams.com/video/xvbd-ye3U9E/video.html
Godinu je dana video za koji je neviđeno truda uloženo s moje strane, gotovo skupljao prašinu na ovoj mreži. A onda je nekako procurilo da se u par kadrova u njemu pojavljuje naš najbolji Luka. Luka Modrić. Detalji i moj opis preneseni su i kad su preuzeti od različitih medija širom naše lijepe i svijeta. Neočekivana gledanost u svega par dana. Zastrašujuće zapravo. Mislimo li mi uopće svojom glavom i znamo li što gledamo i vidimo?
Od tolikog broja komentara pod taj film od 6-7 minuta nit jedan posto nije nit uvidio koji je naslov filma a kamoli tema. Pustio sam neka bude i tako pa bar neka se film uz tu, danas atraktivnu nogometnu vijest provuče da se neki glas o vuku i njegovom statusu čuje. To je zapravo kopija uglavnom u crno/bijeloj verziji no postoji i samostalna u boji.
Svaka čast nogometu iako od našeg velikog Luke ni riječi od dana kad je pred 30 godina snimka nastala do dana današnjeg ali sve to me zapravo duboko razočaralo.
Zato ne očekujem razumijevanje nit nadu da će dovoljno ljudi shvatiti što vrijedi i što treba čuvati.
Nada ostaje jedino na mladima, neiskvarenim i čistim generacijama koji će kad tad promijenit sve.
Lijepe riječi i hvala još jednom, puno. Ovo mi je poriv za nove posjete planinama i još snimaka.

@@PavleBalenovic sinoć sam opet gledao upravo taj spomenuti snimak sa našim najboljim nogometašem svih vremena. Pratim nogomet, ali činjenica što je Luka u vašem uratku dođe mi samo kao neka mala zanimljivost, koja mi nije umanjila dojam, niti mi je smetnula sa uma glavne aktere te priče - vukove. Ne znam zašto je u našem narodu to tako, zamislite živim u Otočcu, doslovno ispod Velebita i 95% ljudi u našem malom gradu nije bilo nikada na Zavižanu do kojeg se sa autom za 40 minuta dođe! Za njih su vukovi, medvjedi i srne postale egzotične životinje. Razočaran sam kao i vi kada vidim da vaša priča baš ne dolazi do domaćih ljudi. No tu se puno ne može napraviti, imamo najljepšu zemlju na svijetu, komad zemlje što je Onaj gore za sebe sačuvao a mi se ponašamo užasno i nemarno. Ja se nadam da ću vas što prije vidjeti opet na planini, taj vaš odnos sa Velebitom mi je motivacija i inspiracija. Možda nas ima malo domaćih što vas pratimo, ali zato vašu priču dijelimo dalje. Da sam vam bar mogao snimiti kako su moji prijatelji reagirali kad sam im pričao o vama.. Ljudi ostaju u čudu da takvu priču ima jedna mala Hrvatska i njen Velebit. Dok neki tamo preko oceana izmišljaju takve priče za filmska platna, mi tu priču imamo u stvarnosti. To je poklon koji ste nam vi i Lik ostavili, a na nama je da se to ne zaboravi. Jedva vas čekam opet vidjeti gore gdje pripadate, sa svima nama koji osjećamo isto prema toj planini!
@@deltamark6950 Neke se stvari zbilja ne mogu promijeniti i treba ih tako i prihvatiti jer drugo ne preostaje. Šteta što u takvim slučajevima stranac više cijeni ono što je valjda kod njega davno uništeno a ovdje još živi. A i vremena su se promijenila ... nema više onih starih navika ni običaja. Stari koji su ih održavali pomrli su a mlade nitko o tome nema poučiti. Gubimo se jer to je folklor.
Prepirao sam se sa tatom dok je još bio među nama kako malo drže do svog Klanca, Perušića, Plane odakle su naši a on gotovo kao da ga je bilo sram korijena. Čini mi se da je slično i sa Lukom
i ne mogu se oteti tom dojmu.
A evo kad sam već spomenuo običaje... sjetio sam se ... jednom negdje osamdesetih zimi, krenuo sam preko Bakovca , Kosinjskog sa psom i vukom kroz Velebit na Alan. Ljudi su vjerojatno mislili da nisam normalan ... no ipak mi je stara baka pri zadnjoj kući ispekla kruh koji sam morao pričekati da se ispeče da se ona ne naljuti. Za putnika ma kakav bio ... pa i mlad -lud kakav sam im se vjerojatno učinio. Nije mi bilo lako na tom putu i jedva smo stigli do Ljubina groba ... a onda još ono malo do kuće na Alanu trajalo je ko vječnost. Nikoga nigdje, no tada je dom bio otvoren za svakoga bar ako ga snađe nevolja ... danas je i taj običaj nestao. Rijetka kuća našem planinaru omogućava sklonište. A pohlepa za turizmom otjerala je i one preostale prave planinare. Ipak mislim da sve dođe na svoje i sve će nas to naučiti pameti ... kad tad ... a priroda će učiniti svoje jer i te su promjene zapravo prirodni proces. Naše je jedino da znamo gdje nam je mjesto i da se prirodnim zakonima ne može prkositi. A ona ili Onaj gore uvijek nađe svoj put.
E moji Ličani ... svi bi morali biti ponosni što zapravo nosimo vučje ime. I tog vuka čuvati kao oko u glavi i ne treba nas na to drugi uputiti.
O vuku znam da znam puno ... samo bi me trebalo pitati. Naučio me taj jedan vuk pameti.
Puno pozdrava iz tmurnog Zagreba ... u bolesnoj zimi bez snijega.
Magnificent and amazing vídeo!
Congratulations!
I will follow you!
Take a time and check my channel...hope you will find some more interesting footage that I published.
There will still be more from my archive and new about my visits to the mountains.
Many years, big efforts and risks I invested into filming the wildlife, my own adventures and experience from the wild. Thanks for watching. You are always welcome.
Pavle Balenovic Thank you. I also invite you check my Channel..
Amazing views you have there, unbelieveble that you could come so close to take this footage! Its good to hide in the car to hide from that Bura, togheter with your pet wolf!
Have a great weekend, greetings Yoël.
Eighteen years gaining trust and confidence between two of us enabled me to record what is really rarely possible. There are a lot more details awaiting to be published and shared here. Take a look at my recently uploaded video titled "Hidden Mountain Lair, Home to a wolf family" to see how close to them I was : czcams.com/video/JCVTLAXhUsY/video.html Today it is simply hard to believe that
I managed to do that myself alone. Thanks for watching.

Koji vam je zadnji video ili zadnja slika i kad je tocno otisao na onaj drugi svijet LIK?
Datum kada je uginuo Lik, spominje se na samom kraju filma "The WolfMan". Te zime, 6. siječnja zadnji smo put putovali na Velebit, on i ja zajedno. Do tog su datuma nastale i posljednje zajedničke snimke. Gotovo da bi napunio 18 godina.
