Well, he's not going to teach Russians how to survive where they already survive because they r from there.... So that would not make sense. He's teaching those who r not from there because they don't know ... Since they r not.. from there ...😐 So why would be only talk to the Russian speaking audience?
He's on his own back 40 and his neighbor dropped by. I think they had a few drinks. Notice the sun was still up when the neighbor showed up, and then you see the neighbor leaving in the dark. Lars thinks it's important that you not drink alone. I think that's why he ate so late, went to bed so late, and got up so late.
Your whole body feels slow and the air feels sharp at first. Then you feel cold in every part of your body right down to the bone. If you don’t get warm you will lose feeling in your extremities like fingers and toes then lips and your nose. Not a fun time stay warm.
Lol after living in south Africa for 30 years a British winter of -4 at night nearly finished me off, I cannot conceive -30. I think it must feel like burning all over or maybe having arthritis in your whole body???....
One of the worst experiences of my life was when I was in military service and we had this 200km 5day ski march in complete wilderness. We didn't have tents so we had to build these igloo like snow structures called "lumikammi" to sleep in. Some nights we stopped only for couple of hours to sleep so we didn't have time to build those so we just built "rakovalkea" and slept in our sleeping bags next to those. It was something like -35c to -42c during the whole trip
@@SurvivalRussia Finland indeed, pretty standard procedure in the finnish army. Especially for the Jaeger and SOF units. During the continuation war finnish long range SOF-units spent days and weeks in these kind of conditions behind enemy lines.
When I was younger and didn't know any better, I spent a night at -7 and thought I was going to die. I reckon you might consider that temperature to be almost a tropical heatwave! :-) Videos like these are not easy to make (understatement of the year), and I really appreciate your time and effort to make them. Fantastic.
@Franz Klein they are 99% useless. Fun to make, but no reason at all to make them. I'll do a video on it sometime. But every time i've gone out solo camping in all weather I've found faster, and easier ways to make fire.
+Taofledermaus I know you don't like to get political, but will you make a video about the gun laws that are coming down the pike in California? I might have to move there for work.
Spent a couple of years in Alaska, you brought back the memories of what "cold" really means. Great video as usual. Your meal made me hungry. Best meal I ever had after getting lost once was a hot bowl of pork and beans. You really appreciate a hot meal and a drink of water. Lol
The struggle for me would have been having to get up in the middle of the night at least once. Definitely would have needed a quart plastic bottle to take in the bag with me. Something. ANYTHING but crawling out of that bag.
I was in the Canadian military, we slept in -40, no clothes on, just a military sleeping bag and nothing else, no heat, our clothes and boots inside the bag with us and we never got cold except our faces, this is how you are supposed to sleep in freezing weather!!!!!!
In -40, you had the bivvy, the hood and the two down filled bags. I have that sleep system myself. On that trip I only uhad the outer bag with me, as both the bags are rather bulky and it was "only" -27c/-30c. I had another thinner inner bag. I was not cold. I had a good fire close by, so not a problem. If I had to sleep without a fire, I might just had stripped my clothes off, as the body heat of course heat up the bags better. Anyway, I was wearing old-school wool trousers and a heavy wool coat, which provides good warmth. Overnight, the wind changed direction and I got smoked pretty bad. The reason I mentioned that "I have slept better." The Canadian bags are good. The only sleep system I have tried, which actually performs as rated. One bag and a bivvy will do for -20c.
Ha ha...my Dad moved here to Canada from Denmark after the war and his wartime experience in Jamaica guarding German POWs and the Hvidsten group around Ranners...he's not with us anymore - died at 98, but I must say I get a great chuckle and some lovely memories channelling him when I hear your Danish/English accent...he was a Boy Scout leader too, so I did a lot of camping and fishing "back in the day"..love your videos.
Hahaha I love how the marriage dynamics are still the same regardless of culture/language. We have our strategies to get our boy toys like knives and tools lol. Awesome videos!
Lars you are the man. You talk to us and make us feel like we are there with you. When you woke up I was cold too and I live in Florida USA .YOU ARE MY FAVORITE SURVIVAL CHANNEL.
If I was out there hiking I think the first person I'd really enjoy running into would be you my friend lol. I know I'd be warm, having good conversation, and fed generously lol. Greetings from the Yukon (Northern Canada)
"It was actually a big mistake that she did that, because it means that I can justify another knife purchase" - This is accurate and perfect reasoning. I hope you did get another one.
"Campfire smoke...less than awesome" was a good one. Your English is excellent. Lost a sibling when a car hit us--your weathered eyes hint of endured pain as well. Some things time wears down, though never quite erases. Keep going my friend, you bring a ray of joy where clouds prevail. Respect.
As a youth we often would camp out at -25c while icefishing in northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 under a simple lean to and a bough bed .. one thing I used to do was tuck a wool blanket or fleece under my head and create a small tent with it over my head and shoulders .. breathing warmer air certainly helped .. as far as a bag went I used two regular summer bags one inside the other . 👍 brings back some fond memories thanks for posting …
Thanks I appreciate you for taking us with you I really enjoyed watching I'm glad you posted your trip look forward to seeing more wish you all the very best until next time my friend may God bless you and your family
The fact that you survived is a good sign. We once had a guy in the camp that was completely vegan, so he was eating really simple foods. He didn't make it.
I have no idea how I found this video but I thoroughly enjoyed it!! That's the beauty of the internet, bringing people from thousands of miles away closer together. Keep it up!!
Most people underestimate low temperatures, I was crying like baby at -10 to be honest and I actually enjoy camping... This dude is handling it like a champ
@@MetalAriel I grew up in Nebraska. Our first winter there my parents didn't know they needed to watch the news before sending us to school each morning. My brother and I walked almost a mile to school, only to find all the doors locked. It was -35 F (including wind chill), and the schools closed once it got below about -5 or -10. The news there also reminds you of the importance of covering up. They would announce the temperature, then tell you how long it will take for exposed skin to freeze solid at that temperature. I don't miss it.
I once tried a scenario where I would experience being lost or injured in the forest at sunset at -30 C. I did not have fancy equipment, My tarp shelter sucked, my fire would not catch and by midnight I was really cold. Would it have been real life I would have had to stay awake and exercise lightly all night to stay alive. This is harder than it looks!
You staying awake and exercising made me realize something. If you get into situation when you don't have enough protection from cold during night and when you have to survive multiple days or longer, would it be feasible to stay awake during night and sleep during the day (that is if the area isn't one of those when night lasts for several months)?
@@fanta4897 To be honest it was only an exercise, I just got out of the woods and went back inside. Theoretically, If there is sun, it would be feasible but that would leave very little time to gather food, water, firewood or improve camp. Plus it would be quite exhausting at night to jog around in the dark.
I truly appreciate your approach, Lars. Have never experienced anything close to -30, but watching you gets me close to understanding what it must be like. Blah, blah, blah. You are the man! Keep up the great content.

I am Canadian from Hamilton Ontario. I have the same army sleeping bag system and have used it 2 weeks ago at -25 with no problem (both inner and outer bag with a thin outer bag over everything). I only wore my long underwear to bed and throughout the night I started to sweat. That said many years earlier I camped in Algonquin Park in February and it was -40 with no windchill. That was cold. It was great to see how you stayed warm.
We have som deacent ones her in Norway too, any outdoors/fishin/hunting store have sleepingbags with comfort temp at -50 but we take off almost all clothing because the body is the heatsource so it's actually warmer to sleep in a thin set of superwear or fleece even if it sounds totally wrong.

No nonsense, this is how it is...bloody cold and certainly not Hollywood glamorous! That's "surviving" with equipment and food...you don't ever want to be out there armed only with an Altoid tin. Great video, looked very cold :)
Thanx for the camp out Good lighting for the videos The video quality is really good, nice editing too Thank you for sharing your videos, they are appreciated
I gave you a "like" for sharing your experience in such miserable weather. People die in weather like this. I live in Canada and we know what cold is...deep admiration for what you do.
Thank you for taking us along, that was very nice. I have one of those Russian combat rations that I need to try as well. I had forgotten about it until you showed it. That fire was insane, I'm sure it was putting off some massive heat. Glad you made it through ok, safe journey back home!
Something that many forget is the 12 foot long Hudson bay wool blankets. Now these kept us warm on winter nights on the farm, upstairs was no heat in -15 or lower weather we used a flannel sheet to keep from itching from the wool, you can't get anything warmer other than a bison fur
Again Lars, great video! I can see the disadvantages to a fire that large with only one person to move those big logs around. But I have been waiting for this huge burn to happen and you did not disappoint! I wondered if you were going to actually get stuck in that sleeping system! Take care my friend and keep warm!
Take cold showers, it can help you in tolerating lower temperatures (I was in similar state to yours, I got cold quite often and quite easily, but it's been a year and a half since I was taking cold showers, and recently I went for a 3km run in 5 C with no problem).
The coldest I've slept in is -18 f here in summit county, co. Used a hammock setup with an under quilt and 0 degree bag, and no fire. Living the dream.
Really enjoyed your video, especially the part where you got out of bed!! I"m an older backpacker and camper, like you and getting out of bed on a cold morning is certainly a challenge, LOL. Thanks for sharing the fun moments as well as the easy moments. Best wishes..... Ax
I feel like the Siberian log fire has a limit in size to still be manageable. Still a successful outing, though. Thanks for taking us out camping with you. Appreciate your time editing it, too.
In the 1960s I tried sleeping fully clothed in the German snow in a sleeping bag and air mattress and no fire. I got very cold. In the middle of the night I took off my outer layer of shirt and pants and surprise I got very warm. I think the cloths was soaking in the heat and leaving the bag cold after I went to only under cloths and soxs the feather filled sleeping bag was able to warm up and let me sleep very warm. Best to keep cloths in the bag with you so they will be warm in the morning and you can also put on your cloths before unzipping the bag. I don't know about modern sleeping bags.
Bush craft transcends national boundaries. As an American I appreciate and I am grateful for the effort and skills you demonstrate. I have enjoyed your videos. Even there you have to have an excuse for your wife if you want to buy a new knife. Tyranny is everywhere.

Thank you :) It would be a really tough ride being out there with no real equipment!
Out in -30ºC... At that point, your only hope is to dig a snow shelter in that big bank... and pray for morning.
Not Hollywood glamorous, and not Hollywood hyperbole either. Great stuff!
I've never camped and i don't want to but knowing you're out in the siberian homestead makes me feel good about the world. Please be safe Lars.
You are dang tough, Lars. Glad you made it through the night. Impressive very impressive.
Thank you from Canada for showing us life in the Siberian Arctic! Keep up the good work my friend!
Btw I hope you justified your newest knife purchase without getting into to much trouble.😂 Stay warm brother, Russian winter is unforgiving!
Thanx for the camp out
Good lighting for the videos
The video quality is really good, nice editing too
Thank you for sharing your videos, they are appreciated
I gave you a "like" for sharing your experience in such miserable weather. People die in weather like this. I live in Canada and we know what cold is...deep admiration for what you do.
Thanks! Much appreciated :)
I love your videos the techniques and skills you know and demonstrate are simple ‘no frills’ methods that actually keep you alive 🤘
good preparation, good neighbours, good time
Cool, That sno-go looked similar to the old Ski-Doo Alpines with a Polaris styled cowling. Engine sounded great.
You are one of the few channels I can watch for real cold weather advice, thanks man!
Thank you for taking us along, that was very nice. I have one of those Russian combat rations that I need to try as well. I had forgotten about it until you showed it. That fire was insane, I'm sure it was putting off some massive heat. Glad you made it through ok, safe journey back home!
I haft say you are the tufts man I ever saw. Great show,thanks
Can see it from here in Germany! ;-)
Something that many forget is the 12 foot long Hudson bay wool blankets. Now these kept us warm on winter nights on the farm, upstairs was no heat in -15 or lower weather we used a flannel sheet to keep from itching from the wool, you can't get anything warmer other than a bison fur
Again Lars, great video! I can see the disadvantages to a fire that large with only one person to move those big logs around. But I have been waiting for this huge burn to happen and you did not disappoint! I wondered if you were going to actually get stuck in that sleeping system! Take care my friend and keep warm!
Thank you :) It was just a fun experiment, but I actually learned a lot from it. Also, two persons could have handled the logs.
Stay warm and hydrated my friend, winter always pulls more moisture out of you.
he was a butterfly coming out those sleep bag

Sunny day, snow on the ground and, some heavy wind. Winter people know how it feels.
Well done. “Sleeping on the ground gets old fast” so true.
Siberian Log fire.. first time, Ive ever seen that concept. Super Awesome!
I get a cold here in brazil when it's 22 C and forget the window opened...
22 is summer in uk lol
Is a global warming stuff in Mongolia
Take cold showers, it can help you in tolerating lower temperatures (I was in similar state to yours, I got cold quite often and quite easily, but it's been a year and a half since I was taking cold showers, and recently I went for a 3km run in 5 C with no problem).
22c ❄️😂😂😂👌
The coldest I've slept in is -18 f here in summit county, co. Used a hammock setup with an under quilt and 0 degree bag, and no fire. Living the dream.
Really enjoyed your video, especially the part where you got out of bed!! I"m an older backpacker and camper, like you and getting out of bed on a cold morning is certainly a challenge, LOL. Thanks for sharing the fun moments as well as the easy moments. Best wishes..... Ax
Thank you Ax :)
Thank you Ax :)
I'm Canadian and know all about the winter cold. I moved to Vancouver British Columbia to get away from the dreadful Canadian winters.
So glad I didn't have to wait for part 2!:)👍🏻
Thank you. It was a bit of a work though :)
Thanks for the entertainment. More entertainment than a super bowl halftime:) your friends coat was awesome.
I feel like the Siberian log fire has a limit in size to still be manageable. Still a successful outing, though. Thanks for taking us out camping with you. Appreciate your time editing it, too.
In the 1960s I tried sleeping fully clothed in the German snow in a sleeping bag and air mattress and no fire. I got very cold. In the middle of the night I took off my outer layer of shirt and pants and surprise I got very warm. I think the cloths was soaking in the heat and leaving the bag cold after I went to only under cloths and soxs the feather filled sleeping bag was able to warm up and let me sleep very warm. Best to keep cloths in the bag with you so they will be warm in the morning and you can also put on your cloths before unzipping the bag. I don't know about modern sleeping bags.
You lit it Lars!!!! Great Video!!! Looked like one cold night! You are the king of the Siberian log fire! Well done!
Bush craft transcends national boundaries. As an American I appreciate and I am grateful for the effort and skills you demonstrate. I have enjoyed your videos. Even there you have to have an excuse for your wife if you want to buy a new knife. Tyranny is everywhere.
Dream collaboration, you and camping with Steve in the North Pole.
I wonder if this guy as plenty of step 2's
