- 🇷🇺 'Don't go to Chechnya!' the UK government website says. For sure you will be kidnapped and killed. Well, it turns out that they don't know what they are talking about. All you will find here is beautiful landscapes, friendly people and great shashlik. Oh, and very persuasive taxi drivers! Big thanks to Ruslan for the tour. Muzhik! 👍🏻
Ruslan is honestly a credit to the taxi driver profession.
One of the things i love about this channel is the lack of flashy intros and graphics. Pls dont ever change, keep it real.
This guy is in Chechnya, in the deepest part of europe, randomly taking trains and buses to villages and old towns, only with a bag, pair of shoes and a mobile phone... incredible
mate, I dont take my dog for a walk without ID, and you just traveling up and down in Chechnya without papers?? you kidding me..😂😂🤣🤣👍
this guy has the biggest balls ive ever known a man to have, his week is filled with more adventure than my whole life has ever been
12:20 Ruslan says: “Like I told you: if a single hair drops from your head, I’ll be held responsible.” («Я же тебе говорю: хоть одна волосинка упадёт с тебя, с меня спрос будет»)
Guess he’s lucky Bald’s bald.
12:30 Driver actually said "If just one hair drops off your head then I'll be responsible for it" which means - Driver takes full responsibility over a foreigner since he is now a guest and guests are treated with respect and honour in Chechnya.
Mr. Bald: "Rrrjrruuutchtch murrjrrduu?"
Random chechen: Switches off the safety lock of his kalashnikov
Why do I even pay for cable television.... this is all I need. Best channel ever
*"We've got soup with some kind of testicle in it"*
This dude has been out of the comfort zone for so long he has become imune to freaking testicle soup
best comment
I think if this channel has proven anything, it's that slavic states have the best radio stations.
10:42
Mr bald: your not gonna sell me?
Taxi: huh?
Me bald: your not gonna sell me there?
Taxi: you? *nervously laughs*
Bald almost daring the Taxi driver to kidnap him so he can have a tip
Was checking him for kidney function... maybe wasn't up to scratch.... : -)
bald stroking that hat every 15 seconds wishing he had hair
The serious tension when he gets pulled up while still wearing a big fluffy hat really gets me
Bald: there's no pavement
Bald: Hey look a soviet pavement
Bald, are you desperatly trying to get on the watchlist of every intelligence agency around the globe? 😀
These videos restore my faith in humanity. When you stop seeing people the way your government wants you to see them you see you will find decent people anywhere you go
Everywhere else in the world it`s a wig , In Chechnya it`s a hat .
I’m a girl and this channel sometimes makes me wish I was a man so I could go on crazy adventures and not worry about being sexually assaulted by some weirdo, but luckily I can live vicariously through Mr Bald here
this is heaven, 18 mins of bald and bankrupt in russia!
Sorry I don't know much but isn't this europe?
@@ashwinraghunath4453 Technically yes... but realisticly it's culturally more aligned with Russia. You wouldn't go here and expect it to be anything like western Europe but more like Russia
@@ashwinraghunath4453 Chechnya is an autonomous republic in the European portion of Russia. Silly doopa.
@@ashwinraghunath4453 yes. Chechnya is still europe
From coca leaves to testicles in under a week.
This man needs an award!
I love how you made Ruslan pull over so you can show off a bus stop.
A Englishman driving around Chechnya in an American car, what a world.
2:00 "Its not a place to make enemys" the irony lol
I like it how you give no political commentary. You just wander around and have fun like a normal human being.
I'm from Chechnya and you are a mad adventurer 😂😂😂 Loved it man, they are not used to tourists yet so don't be astonished if they stare at you the way they do. By the way the pronunciation of the Chechen expressions is on point 😂😂😂😂 at least the sounds.
Russian dude walking by.
Bald: 👀 Look 🤲, a Soviet Soviet.
I get the feeling they made him put that Akhmad Kadyrov images in at the end.
I think Ruslan didn't convinced you to stay with him, he just locked the doors 😂
Bald you have to go to Kalmykia next, Europe’s only Buddhist state.
On my way now
"Wow look at the mountains of Chechnya!
Imagine falling off here!"
Why is he so optimistic!? 😂
Ruslan was amazing! I even felt safe traveling with him and I'm on the other side of the TH-cam! 🤗
You in Andrew Anderson s comments too
Бенджамин - Как называется башня?
Руслан - Башня.
This looks like a Call Of Duty modern warfare map
TH-cam: hey wanna watch this random English guy travel across the arse-end of nowhere?
Me at 3 am: wtf why woul-.. actually, yeah, go on then.
The “Bus stop” looks like it was designed to act as a defensive position for a road block.
How about going to vladivostok? I think you would like it.
Russians joking in comments: His chechen accent is better than chechens actual accent
Ruslan is the hero we didnt expect, but needed.
Something about this video reminded me of when I first found this channel and binge watched pretty much every video. I really enjoyed this one I can't wait for the next video.
Everywhere this man visits could be a new location for a far cry game 😂
Just keep proclaiming "Khabib number one!" and you'll do fine.
From all this videos i understand just 1 thing. All people are brothers and all people must be friendly with each other
I can see the taxi driver regretting his decision after having to stop and look at the soviet bus stop
When you watch these videos you dont know what to expect but you know it's going to be good.
15:03 my engine trying to start at -40C
I'm indian, I lived grozny, chechnya for 3 months, beautiful place with kind hearted peoples !!!
"Красивый машина есть, как бедный?" - это звучало больше по-чеченски, чем звучат сами чеченцы. Быстро учишься, молодец.
I love when Bald finds a random taxi driver that takes him on a wild adventure. Shows just how different he is from other travel-like channels. The fact that he’s eating a hearty meal after all of this driving is warming to the heart. I simply love this channel, thank you bald for these videos
It's really refreshing to see a travel vlog done by someone who knows his stuff! Thank you!
“It’s easy to die in the Caucasus’s they drive like mad men”
At least put your seatbelt on bald 😂😂
How to say 'how are you' in Chechen: Orcs, Mordor!
I'm curious to see your backpack and what you carry with you on your travels.
Imagine being bald’s taxi driver and going on a whole trip with him without actually knowing who he is
Ruslan was a decent bodyguard and tour guide
Every upload is just a “subscribers I’m still alive” notification now 😂
Lol! So true! Glad he’s safe
For real 😂
Still sketchy, but feels less dangerous than Bolivia's cartel land
One of the best episodes yet! I'm too type A personality to go on a random adventure like that. We live vicariously through you big H! Keep the new content coming!
Slowly getting through all your videos, keep up the great work. Love how friendly and respectful you are to the locals 👍👍
He is so friendly, he makes friends where ever he goes.
Try being friendly and speak English only.
That hat looks like it was made from Jeff's mum.
I'd feel safer in Chechnya than Mexico that's for sure.
Much love to my Chechens warrior from Mexico! Long live Chechnya and the Caucasus
"I'm not going to make any jokes about Chechnya and be super respectful because it's not a place to make enemies."
Seems like it was too late for that already.
This is seriously good I’m glued to the screen, very impressed! Both content, and production values way beyond expectations. Best of luck with your channel.
I'm so envious everytime I see these videos of you going into mountains.
I absolutely love all of your videos. Thank you for uploading.

-Как «приятного аппетита» на вашем языке?
-Рот закрой
So strange to see the city. The war was so long ago, but those images of a battered grozny is all I know of Chechnya.
The video quality is awesome Ben! Love the hat my friend! Be safe, much love and respect from the states...
Instant sub, so refreshing to see a travel vlog without all the flashy gimmicky editing and music and the overly (fake) enthusiastic twentysomething vlogger... just kidding, you're obviously a twentysomething ;) You're style is so basic and down to earth and you're genuinely interesting to watch! Keep it up!
"When we go back we will reach more adventures" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ruslan 2019
love every video you put out. i know you've heard it 100 times before but you really give me an insight to a world i know i most likely will never get to explore. keep on keepin on.
Bro you literally have one of the best channels on TH-cam or TV period. I can't believe I just found out about you last week, I wish I had been watching this all along. Awesome videos man. Keep them the exact same way. Never change. Just awesome buddy. Thanks for the entertainment.
You're so brave: I'm Russian and I can't even imagine the reason I would go to Chechnya. Honestly.
Bald in other regions: alpha male
Bald in Chechnya : beta male
🤣🤣🤣
Ooof
I really love these videos. When ever a new one comes out I always make sure to watch it right away :)
This is the best content I’ve run across on TH-cam in a while!
Its been 6 months since I discovered this channel and i still whatch everything religiously!!
The last seconds of the video with “Don’t be afraid to visit Chechnya” and “memorial” Ahmad Kadyrov picture at the end and your comment that you have crazy mad thing to share when you reach safe place made me think that you got censored by chechens lmao
I've never seen a channel blow up quite as fast as yours but all of your videos are gold! Keep crushing it dude! Cheers from the USA!
I was in Chechen earlier this year and LOVED IT! It was my first time in The Russian Federation. I hope to go back.
Just totally great to watch , as always :) Thanks for doing that and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.
Nothing makes me happier than watching your videos. Keep it up!
"Rush Mordor"
Russia and the former USSR states are wonderful with some of the most lovely and warm people in the world . It’s just they have been labeled otherwise.. it’s untrue. Way safe than Latin America .
18:05 Bald was so off with his pronunciation and Ruslan didn’t even bother to correct him 😂 But at least he tried 👍
I’ve found from watching your videos Midwestern America where I live is almost the exact same as Russia and Eastern Europe. It kind of surprised me because were taught to hate them and them to hate us.
Sleep at 6:00AM wakes up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
"I had a little sleep"
Excellent video! Makes me want to see more of Chechnya!
From these comments, it’s scary how sheltered people are.
He literally drove you into the mountains. I would've shat my pants at that point.
I shat my pants just watching it...
whats so dangerous about chechen mountains?
Stop being a pussy mate.
I was in tears when he was teaching you how to pronounce the word
Random fact about Chechnya: in Chechnya, AK47 means Akhmad Kadyrov 47
Don't believe me? Ask those soldiers 😂
I'm from new Zealand and I love your vids I had no interest in the country of Russia but watching you and all your history adventures is making me fall in love with Russia as I too love to visit and learn about history . keep up the good work love how you keep it real
For somewhere as 'dangerous' as Chechnya is known for it seems to be a really pretty place with respectful people as long as you speak politely and have a sense of humour, plus Ruslan made the video even better than it was.
i love how pure your content is.
Love your videos!!! I could watch these all day, and I do!!!
I‘m from chechnya and i gotta say as long as you don‘t are disrespectful it’s a pleasant place to be.The dictator is.. well you can probably guess but it won’t alter your experience in any way i think.
