In this film, he spends six months alone on the lake Baikal completely cut off from the outside world.

He introduces us to local people and captures the beauty of an untamed and pure environment as the seasons come and go. A touching story in the magnificent Siberian immensity.

The most beautiful words in this amazing video "People want to change world but I want to change myself"

What wrong with the world? How can we, as a species that is a dot on mother earth's timetable, say that there is something wrong with earth? Too many leftards can't accept being insignificant in earth's timetable.
@@factitarian if you don't have ambitions for your genetic line to live long into space and time.. how can you call your human kinds as a species of humanity.. ? Hmmm
To inherit a reality is the most beautiful thing that ones ever have.. even though it never lasts and will submit and fade into time as snow.. yup
Yet that brief moment of existence enables us to feel the breeze, taste food and experience that warm love.. hmmm and that is worth while to preserve our species ambitions to be as large as long live as we can..
@@arthurrapson8183 There's an immature comment, tell us more please what's gay about it!
I felt so lucky to come across Slice, one of the best documentary channel ever.
I'm at peace when ever I watched Slice
@Fera Yolai what the heck are you talking about?
I'm confused, I don't get anything at all
@@t.michael7139 She is promoting her porn site. Don't pay attention these ladies of the free life are everywhere.
I just watched it. I agree it is nice to watch and inspiring and we can draw our lessons from it even if we don't follow this literal example ourselves.
This film depicts loneliness at its most extreme, let alone the elements, god bless this man and his bravery.

180 days in Lake Baikal and Surviving all alone, that's definitely a Lifetime Experience.
Your math is horrible!!!!!!! That's only a 6 month experience!!!!!!!
Just kidding. Just wanted to make you laugh....and myself smile. It's a rough life. Homeless, broke, freezing out- trying to survive. Much love and respect to you!!
Rather like living with my ex wife....frigid requiring copious amounts of vodka.
Arctic natives enjoy solitude, especially Finns.
Experiences can vary, keeping solitude apart, just spending an hour with ur little ones is millions worth. In thus story too he was envious of the couple. So a man's social engagement brings him more solace than the solitude.
I think it's more just a matter of balance. To much of anyone one thing is no good...❤️
"For kingdom I have a forest, for donjon a mountain," Sylvain Tesson is a wonderfull person. I read the book twice and this is the second time I watch this video.
It is my third time watching it, last year two times and now watching it again 😊
I myself approaching 52, cancer survivor, father, brother, prisoner and free man, traveler and thinker would give almost anything to have the experience this man has had. I also have a need to change, a profound change. change that I cannot get from books or from someone else's words of wisdom. I think getting there may be the hardest part. maybe someday, somewhere I will find this, unfortunately it is not today and I feel trapped by the human condition... ☹️
Hope you are feeling better today 🙂
@@user-wickedflower ty kate
Don’t we all brother.
I felt this ❤️
Yep, The human condition is pretty bad at times. We end up lying, hating each other and getting angry at each other over the smallest things.
I don't know whether you have a faith or not but Jesus came to earth and died for the sins that humanity - you and me - committed in our place.
God created a world in which the human condition was not a bad thing, He made us perfect, morally, physically, mentally, but He gave us the free choice and individual will to choose His way, the way that was perfect, or the way of evil - all of us have chosen the latter. Many ask why justice is not done for the evil we see in the world. That's why Hell exists to make those who commit injustice pay for their sins.
Unfortunately, we all lie, we all hate, we are selfish, we sin. We are all subject to the human condition. Therefore that sentence of Hell includes you and me in it. BUT while God cannot ignore sin (it had to be punished) He sent His Son Jesus to go down to earth as a human baby and grow up living in the very same world we live in, with the same joys, pitfalls, temptations and heartbreaks. The world subject to sin and the human condition we are in today. Yet, He did not commit a single sin, He followed God's law of love, and showed what love and perfection really is - that also qualified Him to be our Savior. Then, as a loving Savior, God the Son died for us, not thinking of Himself, but the humanity He loved despite all their imperfections. That means you and me. He loves you. Personally. And He died for your sins. Personally.
He promises not only to give this salvation from Hell to all who ask, believe and trust in Him, but Jesus sacrifice gives us victory over the human condition. He died in our place on the cross, carrying our guilt, shame, distress, being killed on our behalf instead of us. Then he rose again on the third day, proving His power over death, His conquering over sin in life, and, showing the way to life for humanity. That is, both a life of love here now, and eternal life in Heaven when He returns to take His believing children home, AND, ultimately, Jesus, alive today, calling His children to follow Him, showed that He can give us too the victory over sin, death and the human condition to truly love as He did.
In short: if you feel trapped by the human condition, Jesus is your hope. He can and will help you if you only pray and ask Him. He WILL help you to overcome in time.
Bye Chitwn, I hope this helps.
"To overcome boredom...regard each instance as a celebration" Beautiful
This whole documentary is pure poetry in motion that speaks the language of the soul.
Excellent documentary! I was reluctant to start watching for fear I might become bored, but I was quickly hooked and engaged from the very beginning to the end... A surprisingly entertaining journey, for sure.I was wrong to harbor any doubt- Slice never fails.
Same here...
Same here didn't think I was going to watch the whole thing.....lol
The work of a very fine writer... philosopher... photographer. I wish him happiness.
Fascinating documentary. It was like I was there on the lake with him. Very well done
Didn’t he have a cameraman with him?
@@jacintaaconng1
I dont believe so. If you look at the scene where he is climbing the snow covered mountain you can see his foot prints where he set the camera up.
@@jacintaaconng1 He did spent 6 month alone and wrote a book, then some years later he came back to make this film.
@@jacintaaconng1 , No.

My mother had died, and my father was grieving for both of us.
He said "Maybe we should move into town, so you would have friends from school."
I said "No, Father. I love exploring the forest, the streams, and the mountain alone."
He said "Son, I hope you never lose that."
Wise dad. ❤️Sorry about your mom.
💖
Villagelightsmith, how could your father grieve for your mother and you since you are still alive????
Can you explain that….
Nature is the most precious gift to human kind Lucky who liv in it , we live in the city of bricks jungle of steel n predator animals 👍
“Solitude is also what others lose by not being there the very instant beauty manifests itself.”
I just wanted this wonderful documentary to go on for ever, brilliant!
You about gave me heart failure when you fell forward into that ice hole. I hadn't yet clued in to the fact that obviously if it were already through to the water, the water would have already filled the hole. Brings back memories of living in northern Canada when young.
"Silence is the sound time makes as it passes"
I loved this very much. Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey. I camped by the Lake Baikal whilst driving from Australia to Switzerland in a Land Rover. It's beauty will remain with me forever.
From Australia to Switzerland? That Land Rover was from Area 51?
A part of life where we learn to live in solitude that’s the only way to live in the end.. all the noise stops and for once you are along really along.. the most peaceful you will every be .. along..
Very poetic and profoundly done.
It’s a master piece well done 👍
Brilliant documentary, fantastic visuals, great artistic sense of the lad intermixed with profound emotional subtleness. Kudos to the courage of this guy to brave the extremities of nature, and providing us with a different and sublime perspective of the world.
A few years ago I was snowed in for five days in a small hut in the wilderness of Tasmania, what a fantastic experience that was.
A piece that is so mesmerising that you forget that you are being steered through time.
It makes one look into himself or herself and really contemplate what happiness is and what you can do with your life, it just shows how little you can live with and still have a sense of happiness.
Remarkable, artistic, poetic, a wonderful piece of work
Heart touching
Spectacular documentary. Very well filmed and narrated. I wish I could do something like this.
SLICE bring myself around the corners of the world in which I learn other peoples way to embrace the environment
Do it! You can do it just finding a forest near you!! A state park! Sand dunes! Mountains! Caves! Rapids! Volcanos! The USA has it all ❤️
I really love this story, so beautiful nature
My humble salute to this man, Sylvain. May you be able to explore more peace. ❤ Brother
Тешко је живети у таквим условима али има много својих предности! Привет из Србије!!!
Здравствуй )))
How is the war going over there? Hopefully you weren't conscripted ........

What a magical journey of peace serenity and magical mystical charm
With breathtaking scenery sounds and visionary sweetness.
I just didn't want it all to end.
Blessings and so much gratitude from my heart to yours

Beautiful documentary. I used to fly over Lake Baikal on cargo flights from Germany to China. I love going up to the mountains above my prairie home in winter to lakes.
Beautiful. Whole narration, very touchy. Wonderful feelings envisaging oneself with the actor. Solitude with an untouched nature is my dream too. Loved it.
I really appreciate the combination of silence, solitude, and philosophizing. This kind of opportunity comes only once so as the saying goes, "car per diem." With this, we realize a lot and will become part of our stories. Keep it up and hope to see more. Regards from the Philippines.
It’s “carpe diem.”
Never imagined I have a taste for modern poetry. Gratitude for giving the chance to live a hermit life.
This is so beautiful and the commentary is so poetic at the same time. It was and is still my dream to visit lake Baikal once.
For scale..... This lake could hold all the water in the great lakes combined ! Wow
Lake Superior is the largest lake in the world by surface area, but it cannot compare to the massive depth of Baikal. 20% of the world's freshwater is a LOT of water.
I truly like your writing, your choice of words. very nice, mighty nice. thank you
I am doing world tour through SLICE with it's fully amezing documentaries 🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing this experience with us. It's a beautiful nature and peace. God bless you and your journey.
Such an awesome doku!! I would ANYDAY enjoy a holiday so much more at places like this, than a 5 star hotel....!
Would love your opinion on my video about Lake Baikal recently thanks!
This a great documentary I watch a lot of these al day everyday and this is def one of my favs
I have watched this documentary over and over again.
Really fascinating!!! I know how cold it could be... Great experience Slice, thank you. Am with you all the way. Love it.💕👍👍
What an amazing story. Slice inspires again.
I'm always leery of walking on winter ice. I think of the trucks that sank on Lake Ladoga during WWll. If you break a bone in your arm or leg, you're in real trouble. But, if you weigh the risks and benefits of such an endeavor and decide to go for it, I think the rewards could be tremendous. I've always admired people who do such things. I hope the pearls of wisdom you acquired during your pilgrimage are still with you.
A masterpiece video. Beautiful. An experience watching it. Thank you.
I love this documentary so much, it's truly artistic. So glad to have stumbled across it.
I was lost in Baikal seeing vedio! Very excllent narrations with poetic feeling!
Wow..what a beautiful and inspiring Documentary..Thank you SLICE
After less than 9 minutes I had my fill of this pampered individual.
Awesome! A calm remark about respect for nature and a life without greed in it. A video like an oasis in my thirsty daily life. Big applause from Korea!
Thank you Mr tession for taking me with you. It was refreshing.
J'ai presque tout lu les livres de Sylvain Tesson et je me rappelle fort bien cet épisode de sa vie sur le bord du lac Baikal où il s'en était mis plein la gueule de Vodka , j'avais adoré ! Je ne savais pas qu'un documentaire y avait été fait par contre , j'ai revu le livre dans ma tête. J'ai maintenant le goût de le relire de nouveau ...
This is so beautiful. I loved every moment of it. Thank you. ❤️
Who needs Netflix when you have Slice.
You know that these places near the waters have dozens of people not only visiting but full time living there, right? My jaw literally dropped after a minute through this "documentary". I've been living in Irkutsk for 13 years and I visit Baikal once a year EVERY year. They have hotels, shops, amusement parks, cottages with wi-fi access and everything you can imagine there.
I would never leave. That looks like paradise.
Valentina Sidilova, If you see this Misha in the US says hello. Thank you for the amazing time in Baikal -- summer 1982.
I just did 3 days living on a warm beach with only my clothes. I videod it. I lived off fish and wild fruit. Now after watching this I know what I did was pretty tame. Well done.
Thanks for the ride along. Insightful to say the least. Skating on that lake...wow!
A very Spartan difficult life to say the least. A diet of very simple food, no fresh vegetables , and all the good food items in Grocery Stores. No television, no Internet and very limited phone service. Add to that the loneliness of being by yourself and keeping a wood fire going when it is way below zero. Some fur trappers live like this in parts of Siberia for a few months and then head back to their villages.Furs are their only cash income to buy goods .It takes a rare personality to be able to survive and function in this type of life style.
Just wonderful to watch - Thank You
A beautiful documentary!
Beautiful movie this is what life shud be❤️👌
FYI .. Lake Baikal has one of the most terrifying events attached to it .Back in the 80's a group of Russian divers were training in the lake and besides it being the deepest lake in the world . They encountered 10 ft aliens underneath the surface that were staring at them . These figures had no breathing equipment only a helmet on their head . To make a long story short , one of the divers tried to capture one of them and all of them were thrown back up to the surface . All died except two I think ...
Oh yeahhh I remember hearing
about this !!
Omg honestly when I saw the title here that story was the first thing that came to my mind . I actually researched this extensively 10 years ago when I first heard a whistleblower talk about it. Quite a fascinating event but in addition I also read where they said that those same giant alien swimmers used to sneak up on people that were just casually swimming in the lake and yank them by their legs underneath too never to be seen again.
Are you guys trolling here?
@@noshadejustfacts6361 did you see the one about the lake vostok monster ? if not man oh man you should research that one . talk about terrifying . but i am familiar with this one too , the commander name admiral nikolay smirnov is the one that gives the details about the aquatic humanoids encounter and says that UFOs tend to stick to the oceans when they visit earth and usually enter through the greenland continent
@@stacysmith7387 no...the story has been reported
That is so so beautiful with the snow in the trees. Nice miniskirt by the way!
I still have 6 minutes to go, but I’m just wondering…. Did the forest Ranger who left the dogs with him necessarily need someone to take care of them or did he do it so that dude would have some company out there??? I’m just curious and as much as people claim to live solitude- myself included- it’s actually very difficult for most people to endure. The companionship of a pet(s) could quite possibly keep a person from going insane!
..which it usually does.
As far as the ranger's concerned: we'll never know but I'm sure it was also beneficial, one way or the other ;)
Great adventure hope i can experience it someday
There's something about this documentary which made me watch this second time
I loved it so much, that wrote the transcript of the captions for deepening my contemplation. Here it is:
I feel im sinking into the void.
In a cabin you can do whatever you want without the scrutiny of others, this freedom is dangerous. To keep from going mad, disciplined each day has the same immutable rhythm.
In the morning I write read and rest and enjoy a few smokes.
The afternoons are dedicated to the tasks tat ensures my survival.
The forest give me its warmth for the stove. One five meter tree for a month.
Working on chopping wood warms you up.
To collect water it takes time, over an hour digging the ice with an exe to reach the water.
(Our work serves to give us a purpose maintain our evolution, it’s not the center of our existence, it is only the means to keep sane and sharp.)
The banya (sauna) is like life in Russia, 80 degrees inside, minus 20 outside, nothing gentle about this world.
I write poetry in the snow so that spring can overcome winter.
To break up the solitude I pretend to have a long distance dinner with mu friends. I summon their presence in my thoughts.
The physical and geography distance cannot separate friends in spirit. Geography is nothing when you share a history.
(Is about creating a ritual that gives meaning to life.)
Having a poetic conversation with the sun and a philosophical conversation with nature.
Conversing with nature means taking in the unity of the world rather than trying to pick out its fractures. It means acknowledging every manifestation of the cosmos from the rising sun to the morning.
For kingdom I have a forrest.
For dungeon i have mountains.
Solitude, the lover who will never leave you.
Solitude is also what others lose by not being there the very instant beauty manifest self.
(Solitude is the gift of witnessing the beauty of life presenting itself to you)
The mountains stand indifferent, content to be. All you have to do is to sit and contemplate the poem. Simply glide the eyes where spirit guides you.
The ice is alive. The frozen expensive shot through with an electric lattice work that crackles with nervous energy.
The silence is broken by thuds. The echo of distant explosions dozens of kilometers away.
The sounds are a companion. They wake me up at night and set the tempo during the day.
The gods allow us a glimpse of a mysterious script.
Ice is a testament destined to be forgotten by the warmth of the heat.
What if the fractals of ice flakes held the equation of the universe?
One morning, overcome with nostalgia I head south to have a drink with friends who lives 60 kilometers from my cabin.
Alone in nature affects the mental health. Humans are social species.
Happiness is to find a corner for yourself in Earth and the certitude that life wouldn’t be better anywhere else.
The happiness of dogs teaches me to disregard the future and inhabit the only land that counts, the present.
In may heat arrives, the water flows and breaks the ice. Nothing will be the same again.
The forces of spring have foiled winter’s efforts to impose an order on the world, the lake is suffering and doesn’t realize there are men at its bedside.
Junes arrives and I let the hours flow trough me. Silence is the sound time makes as it passes.
I dream of writing a book I would call in loss of searched time
Summer brings the awakening. Fragile forces pierce the earth. Life flows and its timidity is a prelude to triumph. The mountainsides are streaked with lively streams impatient as girls to join the lake. The mountain wants to live.
I want through my kingdom each day, exploring further and further. I’m not seeking to know it, but to merge with it. (we are earth).
The cabin is a Laboratorium, a place where visions of nature are transformed into pages of writing. For this alchemy you need eyes, ink, smoke and alcohol.
I was playing the restless wolf, now im the hibernating bear.
Today i asked immobility to give me what perpetual movement no longer could: peace.
Sometimes boredom sets in.
Boredom is the blood that flows from the wound of time. To overcome boredom you must simply welcome what comes and be wary of hope. Don’t expect anything. And regard each instant as a celebration.
The cabin reconciled me with time. The least I could do was let it pass.
Fishing is the ultimate pact with acceptance. At the end of the line there may be a fish and if there isn’t, never mind.
July and summer arrives. Ducks return from China. Lake baikal becomes the stage for the mating game, avid lovers take up everywhere. Unlike man, nature doesn’t assume it has it all the time in the world.
Ephemerality has been around since eternity.
My retreat taught me that in life we must to simply ask that the spirit of a place to help you master time.
👍👍👍for your effort.

One of my dream see the Baikal lake
Marvellous! this was so good and poetic! I really enjoyed this documentary. Thank You! Spasibo!
Very interesting to have this precious time in Life ...solo leaving... 👍
It's perfect! Adventure in documentary.
Living alone for six month vow. I trekked himalaya solo which was very hard but staying in a hut bit easier... Great👍
That was awesome 👏. Could watch that forever !
Super film. Merci pour le partage. L'humain est sociable malgré tout. Comment êtes vous rentré ?
Loved it. Thank you!
Outstanding script!
Mindblowing visuals!
👏👏👏
🙏💐🙏
I highly recommend “Consolations of a Forest” which is Sylvain Tesson’s book about his stay in Baikal portrayed in this video.
Thank you!
Great informative content excellent keep sharing 🙏❤️👏👍
That was beautiful, well done my friend.
I have been living his life, in my apartment, for the last two years.
Very interesting to live your experience vicariously; I think boredom would make this impossible for me.
