Knowing how this trip will eventually end, these are the saddest, most bittersweet videos I’ve ever edited. Even with all that happened, I still hold nothing against the Russian people. You meet people there who hold all kinds of different opinions: many hate the leadership, many love the leadership, and then there’s everything in between. But even the Russians who had fully swallowed the propaganda were incredibly kind to me, even though I was an American and their supposed enemy. They treated me in a way I didn’t see anywhere else in Europe. They’re human, like anywhere else. My experiences were a good example of what happens when dictators and governments aren’t tearing people apart.
Im traveling here right now too and I feel the same. The people here are so nice and the country itself is amazing. Im sorry for what happened to you man. Though as im here myself i would love to know why they arrested you
Exactly, man. Please ignore all the 'I told you so' naysayers because that's not the point. There is nowhere in the world without its risks, regardless of geopolitics. That you go out of your way to show us real and raw human experience at great personal risk is remarkable in and of itself. I hope you've successfully decompressed from the ordeal though. We need you OK, even if an extended break from YT is required. Also, do you plan to travel to more island nations, especially the less popular ones? Places like Sao Tomé, Cape Verde, St Helena, Mauritius, Oromo, Pemba and such.
Seemed like a tail honestly, (only guy they could find tall enough, govs seem to have a way of testing how to control people) I recall that nothing set up through technology is by our control, just a version that Seems to match our suggestion
Just finished the video. This was amazing - and that ending was POWERFUL... especially knowing what awaited you soon thereafter. Glad you're well Tommy!

Why would not the Russian people be friendly? You even find friendly people in the USA, despite the political status. Most of people are against war, the warmongering are the leaders and those that benefits from starting a war.
Thanks for taking me and the rest of the world to Russia. Your videos always make me smile with inspiration and hope. Youre the best. I run to all of your content
Russian citizens seem chill! The smart little girl, the weed hat guy, and the guy that's been to GA (I live in Atlanta) Hopefully the beef between the US and Russia can end sooner than later, because the cold war should have ended back in the 90s
I didn't realize that you were detained until reading the comments. Im sorry for your misfortune. We thank you for your sacrifice and bringing us truth. Awesome to see the real status and demeanor of all the lands and people you travel to. Good luck with your travels. Thank you Tommy.
It is necessary to talk about such things immediately, without postponing it for later. So far, it's all suitable for the hidden advertising of this channel! Then it may turn out that he did not have any documents with him and was held by the police for several hours to find out his identity! Tens of thousands of foreigners are traveling in Russia now, thousands have been living here for many years and it is quite strange to read about the "terrible" arrest!
“You don’t want a soft shaft…. -awkward look-“ 😂 😂 For any Russians that may read the comment, know that the vast majority of American citizens have no issues with you at all. The problems lie with the governments, not the people. Any Russians that I’ve seen/met in the US will get the red carpet rolled out for them and given the total treatment. Americans would love for you to visit and show you a good time!
The PROBLEM is successive US governments...& now the US is in terminal decline, something that even DJT will not be able to stop. The vast majority of Russians are loyal to their VP government that puts THEM first & their real alliances, which will never include the US or its lackeys.
How many Americans actually know what Russia is like? Give me a break, dude. Stop romanticizing it. Look at all the Russians that come here. There's a reason.
I have an issue with Russians . The ordinary ones . Not all of them , but absolute majority. 80% support their an ass of the president . The one who ordered them to invade a foreign land , to kill others while getting slaughtered themselves.
I honestly hate this stereotype that western countries are not hospitable. Biggest BS ever. Both Americans and Russians, and from my experience Norwegians are very hospitable. It could be different in bigger cities as the more tourism you get, people tend to be more fatigued from new interactions I guess. But if you go somewhere where you are seen as a unicorn people will always treat you great, both US and Russia.
Thank you, bro. I, personally, have bachelor degree in engineering < I came to US with fluent English , legally, on a plane, having visa. I am going back to Russia after spending here 3 years trying to make it.. And mu case in emigration gor stucked/ Because millions of illegals came through south border from Latin America. Now emigration moved out legally coming to the States in favor for illegals. I am going back to Russia
I'm writing this from a small eastern siberian town called Tynda and I swear that even the most brainwashed anti-american person from Russia would not wish you that detention. I have no idea why that happened. Probably a bug in the system (a very unfortunate bug). They were just doing their jobs... or maybe there was some evil local police guy who just wanted those career stonks... Anyway I'm so sorry that happened to you, but hey, at least now your future grandchildren will be very proud of you because you survived that brutal siberian detention during the second cold war. Thank you for such great videos. This one made me smile a lot. Wishing you all the best!
what lovely people really! the hospitality is off the charts if you go to eastern europe or balkans or anything more east or south from like germany or austria. i remember seeing a map some time ago showing in what countries would you get invited over and given food/drinks.... yea all of eastern europe were blue (high chance of hospitality) and nordic countries and north western europe was red meaning low chance of inviting people over, but there are of course exceptions everywhere, these are only average tendencies (and i have no idea how would they measure something like this lol)
@@1979vovan are we really comparing todays common russian citizen with conquerors and colonizers from terrible ivan era? i mean i get where ya comin from, but it just doesnt make much sense. the average poeple have nothing to do with that. same as with british or dutch or french colonizers, their average joe have nothing to do with colonizing or slavery ( i don't have any knowledge what happened to those colonizing elites and their families and heirs since then though ) but yea long story short, people and their governments especially in estern europe is really not equal. its quite the opposite, its like 180° different but i get what you're trying to say, they brutally subdued all those tribes/ ethnicities just like the other colonizers in the west (spain, france, english, dutch, belgians etc etc) but it has nothing to do with your average for example yekaterinburg citizen today i think.

I did mushroom & berry picking with the family when I was about 5/6 in the 90s. We left house very early at 4am and spend all day in the forest and left with full buckets of mushrooms and blueberries. I remember a cloud of mosquitoes followed us everywhere.
Very culturally important in Poland :) When mushrooms pop out lots of families go to "their spot" and collect them to dry them for cooking for the next year. A fair bit of the country eats "mushroom soup" on Christmas Eve.

I didn't actually see the middle part of your video until now, but I think you will be safe and hope that others will be in the future if they prepare as animals possibly come back into environments.
As you said Tommy, it is sad because you especially know what happened next. I applaud your honesty and sincerity in all you do, I only wish there could be more people like you - I also love to travel and am so pleased that you are now safe. You deserve a rest, but hopefully you can regale us with more superb videos in the near future. Take care buddy.
I got chaga mushroom in my pantry. Supposedly good as a tea, for health and anti-cancer properties. The taste isn't really great. Thats why I got a bunch still sitting in a bag in my pantry.
You know every time I watch this channel. Just shows people are generally good, it’s the governments acting like jerks. We are the victim of world leaders. Even though we’re about to get into a war with Russia because of Ukraine, these people seem like good people, and I would love to go camping with them with my kids and have an amazing family day with people who are supposed to be my enemy. It’s so wrong just good people trying to survive and be good families government sucks.
You ain't wrong, but it frightens me to think that people need a video like this to understand that. Like, did you think Russians just go around treating everyone like crap randomly? You could go to Yemen and people would be very kind to you.
Such a beautiful country with lovely people. It's a shame you had such a terrible experience :( Glad that you're safe though, I was worried after you hadn't posted for a couple weeks.
It looks like such a beautiful trip so far 15 mins into the video. I know your experience in Russia didn't end well but so far it's such a beautiful trip. Honestly it's been one of my favourite places you've documented to date. I am learning so much about Russia.

@@ajacks1349 he probably figured with her lack of exposure to American culture she wouldn’t get it. So even though his thinking and assumptions are a bit backwards, apparently he was right and she DIDN’T get it. And thus no harm done I guess.
Such a heart felt outro❤ eloquently said Pavel 🙏
I'm glad you're still alive:)
Why wouldn't he be??? wtf
@ruskyalmond1977 Чекни его записи, его задержали, и он написал что это было самое худшее что ему приходилось когда либо переживать
@@mr.art.7187 скорей всего была причина , возможно по незнанию , видел несколько видео блогеров путешествующих по России и это первый кого задержали , несколько блогеров были из США ,и трое из Англии
@TheYura1964 Есть ещё чел bald and bankrupt, его тоже задержали. Это не незнание, просто люди, привыкшие к свободе слова, приезжают сюда, и думают, что можно говорить все. К сожалению, нет (
So glad you are ok! I can’t imagine what you went through but am glad you are free now
What did he go through? I was reading his post and expecting something bad to happen, but I didn't even hear him mention anything negative?
Pavel is a real one
Wow Maestro that video snagged me right at the start and stayed glued to screen. You had a wonderful holistic trip. Them folks are so easy-going and helpful! Great mountains... those Urals, though they kind of look like midgets compared caucasus, or rockies. Great job, Tommy!
Finally! A new video! Thank God, you’re alive!
Why do you wirte thank god you are alive?!?

@@karinec5505they're notorious for killing tourists lol.
I didn't actually see the middle part of your video until now, but I think you will be safe and hope that others will be in the future if they prepare as animals possibly come back into environments.
As you said Tommy, it is sad because you especially know what happened next. I applaud your honesty and sincerity in all you do, I only wish there could be more people like you - I also love to travel and am so pleased that you are now safe. You deserve a rest, but hopefully you can regale us with more superb videos in the near future. Take care buddy.
What happened next?
Great video sir, really enjoyed it!
8:25 Definition of “the shaft”: solid, very fat, strong. This I can eat. 🤣
clean and no sores lol
Omg!!!! 😂😂
I love your videos! Very friendly people!
I got chaga mushroom in my pantry. Supposedly good as a tea, for health and anti-cancer properties. The taste isn't really great. Thats why I got a bunch still sitting in a bag in my pantry.
Very nice video. I enjoyed it very much 👍😇🙏
I have a feeling there was a second narrative going with those mushroom ;)
Finally new episode, I was worried about u brother
This is beautiful. People want to live their lives, share stories, and create connections. I wish all the best to the Russian people.
Круто 👋 Привет из Екатеринбурга
You know every time I watch this channel. Just shows people are generally good, it’s the governments acting like jerks. We are the victim of world leaders. Even though we’re about to get into a war with Russia because of Ukraine, these people seem like good people, and I would love to go camping with them with my kids and have an amazing family day with people who are supposed to be my enemy. It’s so wrong just good people trying to survive and be good families government sucks.
Это кто собирается вступить в войну с Россией? Может мы тут чего то не знаем?
@@danascully6670Poland?
You ain't wrong, but it frightens me to think that people need a video like this to understand that. Like, did you think Russians just go around treating everyone like crap randomly? You could go to Yemen and people would be very kind to you.
@@julius43461Don't be so naive.
Goverments may suck but you're still doin jobs for them and payin taxes, which they use to support proxy wars around the world...
Such a beautiful country with lovely people. It's a shame you had such a terrible experience :( Glad that you're safe though, I was worried after you hadn't posted for a couple weeks.
The lady was really examining your passport with intense interest and scrutiny.
It looks like such a beautiful trip so far 15 mins into the video. I know your experience in Russia didn't end well but so far it's such a beautiful trip. Honestly it's been one of my favourite places you've documented to date. I am learning so much about Russia.
А что с ним случилось?
@@danascully6670 скоро узнаем. Был задержан полицией, во вкладке "сообщество" был пост. Может быть за съемку чего-то, что нельзя снимать, не знаю. Может по ошибке. Жаль конечно, что так вышло.
@End0fst0ry ясно. Но это неудивительно, ведь он приехал в страну, на территории которой идёт война. Сейчас у нас все очень строго.
Екатеринбург ни к газу, ни к нефти никакого отношения не имеет. А вот железу, меди, изумрудам, вполне. В советское время этот город назывался Свердловск, и он был флагманом тяжелого машиностроения СССР.
Для них это все- Сибирь, а значит нефть и газ. Они не разбираются в этом.
@@Вера-х5ь8хI hope they're safe also
он сказал про "город недалеко". видимо, речь шла о Тюмени. убедись, что слушал внимательно, прежде, чем кого-то поправлять.
@@ilyanizhnik6874 вы удивитесь, но в Тюмени тоже нет ни нефти, ни газа.Только головные офисы и исследовательские институты. Нефть и газ дальше, на севере.
И золото
Great to see you here Tommy.
2:17 thank you for bringing this up Tommy, it's crazy to me how many Muslims don't know that the Hijab predates Islam.
Islam came later than Christianity, of course world religions borrow a lot from each other. Moreover, if you dig deeper, it turns out that they all talk about the same thing in different words and images.
Great chemistry with Tatiana. And I'm super impressed by the young girl's english and her accent (or lack thereof). Pablo was a vibe, wholesome video he took in the end.
There's no such thing as a 'lack thereof' of accents, jeez. Think outside yourself for once.
Thank God you're safe
Safe from what?!?
@vvinterghost you won't get even if I explain 1000 times
@@Rogers_Lugose Ah, so it's that complicated? Or is it one of those things where even you don't really know? Just curious, of course.

I waited for an explanation about your detention in Russia, maybe you will explain in another video, either way, I’m glad you’re still going strong my friend.
Tommy , hope you're well man, lost your contact. Your Australian / adopted Timorese friend- Jayden Darwin
Another banger of a trip! Thanks!
24:04 If you turn left, you can walk to the village where you can go snowboarding in winter.. If I understood correctly, where were you
The Urals look like central Alaska. A lot of birch trees and swamps.
Он правда боялся заблудиться в лесопарке? Да ладно. Там люди совершают пешие прогулки и пробежки и всегда на кого-нибудь наткнешься. Это не дремучая тайга.
