I hate alway seeing negative things between American and Russia on tv and the internet. When it comes right down to it both people just want to live a positive life and be able to provide for our families. If our governments would just move on from the past we could work things out. I wish you and your family the best, when we slow down and look at our lives they are very similar. God bless you all
So true. Both our governments could do better on human rights. The ordinary person just wants to live in peace and get help when needed. We all need to clean up the planet very fast. This garden is beautiful.
So true. The media puts the negativity in our heads. Both countries and it’s people are very similar.
@@kookietherapy9398 But many people do. That’s the problem.
First, we are conditioned by social media to think that our way is the right way and anyone who disagrees is our enemy. Once we are conditioned and compliant the government comes in and employs the same 'Divide And Conquer' tactics that have been working for millenia
We the people need to remember that we can disagree and still be friends.
Yes it essentially comes down to power, greed and not much love for mankind. I am frightened at times. I have seen a lot in 65 years.
My grandma(Elsie Ochs) died in April 2021 at age 104. She shared many words of wisdom with me. She was raised on a farm
Her daddy always said, "Never sell your land. Sell any thing else to get by. But never sell your land. You take care of your land and it will take care of you!" Thanks for sharing this wonderful video! I hope to get as good at weaving as Suzie's dad. He is a Master Craftsman and Master Gardener. 🤓💕👍
Great advice from your grandmother ❤️
@@melofacertainage Thanks. She was a strong and wise lady. She taught me alot. I miss her. 💕
You're not crazy. country folk can survive. We can find a way. The things Suzie's father made with his hands the baskets and even walls and whole building woven from twigs are amazing
Coutry folks can always survive.
I would never have guessed that the best documentary I ever saw would be a documentary about Suzie’s childhood home and the way her daddy lives. The sights and sounds of his land were just beautiful. The sound of the swing and the sound of the smoker when you opened it were just incredible. Truly a beautiful film. You could be a film director easily.
It all reminds me of when I grew up. We used to go work the garden. We carried salt shakers out and ate tomatoes.
I saw them grapes marvelous.
It's true ,my parents saved everything and repaired whatever they could because they had lived through hard times and learned the value of everything
When people go without they soon learn the real value of possessions.
Mine too....they grew up in Britain during the war...lost a lot of what they had. I learned to 'make do' and save things because it felt wrong to throw it away. I despair of our 'disposable' society. We immigrated to Australia and still grow our food.
Yes, us older people who have lived through hard times, plan for the future!
What beautiful vegetables. And Susie's father is so talented with his baskets and structures made by hand. Dan, this was an emotional video, thought provoking. Thank you for the tour.
Hi Goldie, I agree, this was a great video. Russian people are very resourceful and hard working. I’m researching for my own channel and trying to learn. I’ve been blogging about Russia for 4 years now. What was it that initially attracted you to his first video?
@@SamsRussianAdventures During quarantine last Spring, I started viewing UA-cam for info on Covid, and noticed there was a video about "Mega Super Store" in Russia, that piqued my interest because it looked like a Sam's or Costco here in US. I clicked on it, and was introduced to Dan and Susie who were "adorable" of course; and I was hooked on life in Russia, and how much alike we all are. And from there I found Russian Yeah and Russian Plus. I guess the quarantine gave me the time to explore UA-cam, which I had never done before. Being housebound for months, introduced me to my new "Russia" friends, and their lives.
Are you all Orthodox?......show us the spiritual/religious life
I love watching videos of people that live on rural areas in Russia. Its comforting and so much like some of the areas in the US. I think its just the desire for a simpler time and closeness of family that we all long for
Yep. Suzie's dad may as well be a farmer in Texas. EXACTLY the same type of people. At least back in his time it was the same.
Yup! It's the simpler life we all long for, especially since the pandemic. Big city life no longer interests me
It reminds me of when I was a little kid in Central Texas
, My grandpaw would give my family hundreds of pounds of peas and we'd all sit around the table and shell peas for hours. This makes me cry, reminds me of my grandparents who are now living with our Heavenly Father.
@@Josh-mg7rm Me & My husband long to recreate that for our kids and our nieces and nephews. We have a full rare & ranch in Anahuac, TX the birth place of Texas 🥰 Santa Ana was tied to the very tree in our front yard! We raise all animals except sheep! Everyone says they feel at peace relaxing here with all the animals and outside chores 🥰
@@kelliintexas3575 I legit remember the picture of Santa Ana tied to ghe tree with Sam Houston to his right with a ton of armed men surrounding him. Close to the San Jacinto, right? I have lived in Temple my entire 34 years of life. Russian people remind me so much of Texas folk...They got the hold my beer mentality down to the T.
Your father is amazing Suzy. God bless him and his lovely garden. That lunch looked so yummy.
Suzie's home looks like my home in Kentucky. Beautiful home. Her father is a talented, wise man. He should teach. I wish blessings for the whole family.
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY, I JUST LOVE THE COUNTRY WAY OF LIVING 😏👍
I’m from Indiana. I miss seeing Indiana and Kentucky. ❤️
@@bethrowbottom5897 I'm from Southwest Ohio but I live in Dallas now. I have spent a lot of time in Indiana and Kentucky. I miss seeing the farms. I used to buy vegetables from their roadside stands.
"When you have children, you live for your children not for yourself" The number of "parents" that need to hear that and to live by that are vast.
That sounds great, unless you're an old widow living on subsidized Senior housing on Social Security and getting help from the foodbank
We all should live for our children and families because that's all we really have!
That is an old value outside the West! Im from Croatia and people still live and think like that! They would invest last penny for their children’s!
I live in the UK for 18 yeas and you can see so so many dysfunctional families! So so sad !
@@importedvixen Awesome never change!
@@importedvixen In the UK they don't really care about their children...unfortunately. Pure english children receive very few attention and love...their parents are very cold with them and indifferent.
Such respect you show when handling the fathers baskets and weaving..knowing the work he put in them..and the way they keep things for future..this flim is so wonderful..honoring Suzys parents and family..so professional...your knowledge and English is growing fast like the children grow so fast right before your eyes....love the video and the background music.
Dan, I am an American - I stumbled upon your channel and was 'hooked' immediately. I subscribed as well and thoroughly enjoy that you shared your thoughts and ideas about your family and life in Russia. I'm 66yrs old and was brought up that your country wasn't safe. You and your videos have proved me otherwise - people are people - all over our beautiful world. Regards, Dave from Louisiana, USA.
Спасибо,Дэйв !!! Я русский и с уважением отношусь ко всем народам нашей планеты. Мы не враги и у нас не опасно,Вы даже можете почитать статистику - в России намного меньше преступлений совершается чем в США. Просто наши политики и корпорации воюют нашими руками за своё влияние. С уважением из России город Санкт-Петербург!
I enjoyed meeting Suzie's family. How generous her parents are to gather their harvest and share with their daughters. Your right... be prepared for hard times always. Be well.
🙏🙏🙏💗🖐
Suzy’s father is a very wise man. He is very kind and loving. A wonderful man ! ❤️ You are very blessed to know him. ❤️
Please share some recipes for fried potatoes and for the wonderful fresh salad.
Wise man? Really? He has a great garden, hardly makes him a kind and loving man.
@@denniscostabile4264 He knows where this corona age is going
@@SeekerofEndurance What is a corona age?
@@denniscostabile4264 wise man in that he grows a garden, kind man in that he does it for & freely shares it with, his 3 daughter's. Loving man, in that none of the people in the video acted fearful or tense around him, & instead snuggled right up to him.
She did not mis-speak ~ kind, wise, loving man indeed!
This is some of your best work. This is like a documentary. The music, the sound of the swing in the background, and the commentary is haunting. Very professional. I think you could definitely have a career as a documentary filmmaker. This is amazing!
yes!! some of these videos dan has made are so poetic and touching, heart-warming. very beautiful. masterpieces, honestly.
I grew up on a farm in the Southern U.S., it's good to see country (rural), salt of the earth, hard working people are the same the world over. Raising your own food and being self-reliant. Dan and Suzy, love from the U.S.!
This is the most beautiful video you have made. It is like watching a documentary. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.
Well said! Totally agree.
🙏 Thank you
Well said yes, And I also agree 👍
I agree this was a very educational video and to see so many hand made beautiful baskets and the building he made. Plus the glorious garden I really enjoyed watching.
@@hershellacey9405 I agree. This could be an award winning documentary. I hope Many people get to see this. Not just in the US or Russia but in many countries. He has captured every day life in such a wonderful way. It is heartfelt and relevant.
It’s taken me a few days after watching this one to make a comment. Dan, this is some of your best work! From the subject matter to cinematography to the music everything about this video is so haunting. Thank you so much for taking us along on your visit to Suzy’s parents. Your tour of their new and old homesite, the handmade baskets carefully created by her dads hands, the kids playing outside, seeing the delicious yet simple meal everyone created from the gardens bounty made me long for simpler times. Your words about how elders don’t throw things away and live simple lives for their children were so poetic and deeply heartfelt. I cannot explain how deeply this video touched me. It should be submitted somewhere for an award. Very well done Dan!
Thanks,dear💞🤗😘
I agree 100%! We are so blessed to have discovered
"THE SHEEKOZ FAMILY."
I agree ☝️
@@TheSheekozFamily
Dear Dan,
I have been wondering about the things that you have spoken about. Things that are happening in our world today. Things that you may get in trouble for talking about. You do know what is coming to happen and your father-in-law knows too.. That what our government wants us to do is unlawful!! Please look up the
"" NUREMBERG CODE""" !! Learn it..
Pass the information to others..
My heart goes out to you and your whole family!! Does Suzie's
parents live far from you? I want you to be safe!! I love you all so much no matter how far away we live from one another. I live in the 🇺🇸 in a state called Rhode Island..
If you get a chance pease look at the earth's moon. Look at it just as it is rising and again before it sets.. Notice the moon phase as it rises and again before it sets..
Dan! It is NOT normal for our moon to have two different moon phases in the same night.. I don't know if you have noticed this or not.. So the only thing I ask if to like this comment if you have read it... I thank you so much!! Much love my friend!-
Totally AGREE!!! Lovely place, lovely family...good people!!! We are all living & going through the same things. Loving family, loving life & worrying about how Covid is changing things. Beautifully told & filmed,Dan....Thank you!!
This reminds me of my Grandma’s house. She had a big garden with fresh vegetables. I used to love eating her green beans. You cannot buy them like that in the stores. She passed away a year ago and I have one can of her green beans left. I’m waiting to eat them on a special day. This was a nice video. I love seeing your family and learning more about your country. 🙂
Same here Nathan. It’s magical.
I believe there will come a time when all of us will have to go back to living off the land. God bless this family
How fabulous.. parents still feeding their children in a loving way! You have a beautiful family!!!
I see that girls run in Suzy's family. Dan there are rural areas of America that look just like this !
Where I live now in Kentucky this is very similar. Although we have more mountains here in this area. The soil in Southern Ohio where grew up was better for gardening..less clay.
@@hershellacey9405 yes I live in a rural area with a large population of Russian, German and Irish immigrants... life is very similar... In the end we are all the same.
Dan we sense your deep concern over how the world is now. The older folks instinctively knew they'd have to be self reliant sometimes. The music fit the mood so well. People in big cities will not know how to survive without electricity, gas, water, grocery stores. Chaos and destruction will result.
Hopefully he has some guns also.
Yes I think we all feel it. God bless this family and all reading this.
Dan believes that the American people are wonderful and highlights some noobs answers on the Pandemic
@Hailey Hedland yeah right.
@Hailey Hedland It depends. Those of us who were raised by parents who taught us how to get by with very little will make it through. Modern people may be the ones who will suffer without their "gadgets".
I found this video quite moving. I can't help but look out my window and wish you and your loved ones well. You are a remarkable person and show your heart fearlessly.
Spread the Love ❤️
It is amazing how growing things seems to unite people from all over. Time and patience are in short supply anymore. Beautiful garden, beautiful family. Thank you for sharing.
Susie grew up in a wonderful place. Her Daddy is a very talented man. He knows the value of food and land. Maybe one day you will live in the country and grow food for Sati. Thank you and Susie for sharing her family with us.
Reminds me of my dear dad. He passed away 4 months ago, miss him, and he used to grow all our food. I’m so happy to see this video. Thank you.
🙏🙏🙏
God bless. My Nana and Pap both passed away within the last 10 years. They taught me how to garden. Now, I have a large garden. I enjoy feeding my family and giving all my extra produce to my neighbors. Start a garden, bud! I'm sure your father is and will be smiling down on you for the rest of your life.
City dwellers in America would LOVE to switch places. Land is more valuable than anything. Especially land that can produce food. I'm old, but afraid for humanity future, when urbanites believe food grows on store shelves. I legit envy this family. God bless them. 🙏
we call those folks. The salt of the earth. Just good people 🥰 much respect to father in law. Love from America
I’ve gardened all my life! That would be me!!! Working in the garden. Love their property and the ability to grow their own food! Suzi, you and your sisters all look ALIKE! What a nice day that was! ❤️👍. Wow Suzi’s dad is very handy and resourceful. He makes the baskets and that building was awesome!
Oh Dan, how you are so correct in this video. Suzy has amazing parents. I don't think you're crazy. You are speaking truth. God Bless you and your families.
You are not crazy, just acutely aware of what is headed our way on a global scale. I wish we could express ourselves freely, but are now living in distopian times where this isn't safe. I feel and understand what you don't say and am glad you are prepping for what's to come. Take care my friends.
Rebecca Brookman, yes my friend. For me it's all eyes on Jesus. These are very serious times for us all.
I'm right there with ya's. Couldn't have said it better myself.
"I wish we could express ourselves freely" What are you talking about? You already can. You can say whatever you want, but there will be social consequences for certain things and that's the right thing to do. Being racist, sexist, homophobic/transphobic, discriminatory... That's not acceptable anymore. We don't want people inciting hate or violence. Or forcing religion on people. Or refusing people their human/civil rights. Or spreading misinformation.
You're not living in "distopian times". You're on a PC/mobile phone, connected to the internet, which I presume you're able to pay for because you have a job or parents that have a job, so you have an address which means you have a roof over your head, and are able to pay your taxes, rent, bills, etc. You're literally speaking from privilege... First world problems.
There is unprecedented censorship going on, especially in the US. Mere mention of certain taboo topics will get your comments deleted. Free speech? Yes, if you blend in, censored if not.
My thoughts too
What a ta;emted, industrious man Suzy's dad is! Loved the tour and your explanation of everything. Your nieces are adorable, too!
Yes Dan, the possible "what if's" in this uncertain world is scary to think about at times! Stay healthy and blessed.
With politics aside. Russian people and Americans are just the same. Your father-in-law looks so happy seeing his children and grandchildren running around, eating the food he grew from hand. My family in America is the same! My grandmother gets so happy when the family visits. She cooks a meal from mostly everything she grows to.
Life is about family and happiness! Not the lines or languages that divide us! Dan, I wish you and the family nothing but the best. Keep doing what you're doing. You have a beautiful family and child!
Wow! Suzy's Daddy is very talented and a good provider for all his family. That Soviet era car looks like it was nice when it was running. This place reminds me of the many times I visited Iowa from California. Dan you are very smart and know how the world works. What people really need in life. Do not think what you say is crazy, because you are right.
Me too. I grew up on a farm, we can our tomatoes, and green beans.
It reminded me of Iowa, too. I agree. Dan is not crazy, and I completely understood his meaning. These are scary times.
Suzies father seems to know very much about life and in the silence I swear I could hear his words say that "if only it wasn't so hard". Bless him and you guys as well!
Your father in law is a great treasure to have for your family. Great man. Awesome gardner.
A country boy can survive.
I'm a country boy like your Suzy's dad. I love the country and my farm. Animals and peace makes me so happy. I could probably live without anything modern. Yes I also save everything. God bless you and family
Dan your not crazy at all, we can live without electricity and gas but we can’t live without water. The way you show us Susie’s family homestead, it is the same in the USA. I think people around the world are pretty much the same. From Panama City Florida, USA.🇺🇸
Suzie's dad only has daughters and granddaughters - Dan knows how he feels being the only man in the family lol.
Wonderful video Sir. I was moved by the mood of Suzy's Daddy when you and he were speaking about the vaccine mandates. The oppression you both were feeling is shared by many other people across the planet. Now that the war has broken out, I am more worried than ever. Russia was always a "hidden world" to Americans before the internet. Now I see we all are Brothers and Sisters and we could be friends. You are being an ambassador for your people. The world needs more people like your sweet Family. God bless you all.
Please remember they (the media and/or governments) can manufacture any crisis including war which they absolutely have done in the past. If you control the media which they do you can control the people. If you control the food you can control the people too. It has all been careful planned for many years. They want us fearful…fear is a liar! Peace to everyone!
The more I watch your content, the more similarities I see . People are so similar the world over. Family is the most important thing.
The ending sounded like a sci-fi movie. It’s true, though. People in the country have it far better than the cities. Beautiful produce in the gardens.
@@kookietherapy9398 ur kookie alright.
Suzy and her sisters all look a lot alike!
Pozdrowienia z Polski! Bardzo sympatyczni ludzie, miło sie ogląda !
Love this older video of Susie’s family. Her dad is so talented with the baskets 🧺 and food !!! ❤
What a beautiful home, a beautiful meal, and most importantly a beautiful family.
I loved seeing Suzy’s family, I adore her dad in every way and his baskets and structures are stunning to say the least! Dan, you’re 100% right about your philosophy. I live in NYC and my kids and I are looking to get far away and somewhere where we can have land to grow, to have animals, to breath, to live as free as possible. There’s nothing like fresh grown food and nothing like a loving, giving family like you guys have. You’re blessed my friend, I feel blessed knowing you💜💜💜
Please don’t delay. We are hurtling ever faster toward trouble.❤️
Hi, I really like this channel. I’ve been blogging about Russia for 4 years and I’m still unable to find the secret to success. Can you tell me what it was that attracted you initially to this channel?
@@SamsRussianAdventures Really like your videos Sam, in my opinion (just my two cents not to be taken to seriously, please do not read further if you have thin skin and do not take criticism well) Dan's videos (both thumbnail and content) give off a wholesome and fun vibe while your videos give off a more water type of vibe. Good, nutritious, but not very flavorful.
Your videos of you exploring a town with your friends or just consistently interacting with the locals are a lot more fun and a lot more inviting to click on especially if they are featured in the thumbnail. The thumbnails where it's just you and some random road or building in the background are not very inviting while the thumbnails with just a building and some title on them are the least inviting. They make it look like it's going to be a very boring and long video.
As I mentioned earlier I really like your content that features you interacting with your partner/friends/locals especially since you're such a friendly sociable guy. Wholesome and fun! More homeboy chillin Russia kickin' it with the homies and less tour guide in Russia *imo* 🤷♀️
Edit: Example, "Life in my Russian Village | Englishman in Russia Sorry I've been busy" -- Really interesting and great video horrible thumbnail.
@@alicedoors4826 Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate this. It is something that I am learning about more and more. I had the theory that all people think that Russia is depressing and so I thought that these are the things that people wanted to see. But I am beginning to understand this more and more. After watching the yeah russia channel, I understood that people watch her channel because of her, not because they want to see Russia. Russia just happens to be the place that Natasha lives in. I will take your advice onboard and I will change my thumbnails. I have tried many different scenarios on my videos but I can't say that I have had any real success with a particular strategy. Often my best videos get the least views and my worst get the most!!!!! Some popular titles get almost no views and unfortunately the most popular videos are those which either have a title about Russian girls or have a girl on the cover. I really don't like making these videos but I understand that the main audience is single men. Thank you so much for your advice.
@@SamsRussianAdventures You're welcome! You have a great personality and you're great to watch. In one of your videos you mentioned that there are more KFC's opening up in your town, would love to see a video of you visiting a Russian KFC. Would love to compare it to the KFC here. See what local things they may have and maybe even do a mukbang type of video. Hope you have time. Enjoying your other videos in the meantime! x
Those baskets are incredible, so beautiful, wow ! What a gift
He’s a hard working man! Bless him
I love that they have a couple of different kinds of tomatoes. The Roma tomatoes are super good with sandwiches and salads. Suzie's Dad is so darn adorable and happy as can be in his garden
Wow, the similarity between Suzy and her sisters is very striking. She could almost be a twin to Nazeema What a wonderful family day you all had.
SUZYS DADDY MAKES BEAUTIFUL BASKETS AND GROWS A FANTASTIC GARDEN... BEAUTIFUL FAMILY,,, JUST AS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE BEAUTIFUL MUCH LOVE
I hadn't had a tomato that had flavour until I moved to Russia. I forgot what the tomatoes of my childhood tasted like! Thank you for showing us the beautiful healthy garden, family and home, so gorgeous.
I long to taste food with flavor
My gosh, what a beautiful garden Dan. The vegetable plants looks so healthy. Suzy's Dad does a wonderful job. TY from Chicago. I enjoyed this video very much. Take care Dan, Suzy and Sati baby. :)
What a beautiful garden
@@judyrau5309 beautiful
such a breath of fresh air Dan. Here we call these people "salt of the earth" :) I talked to a 90 year old man awhile ago...i told him that things might get so bad soon that only people that know how to "scratch" the ground and grow something will survive...he told me "the others have guns"
He is right. As a 60 year old, please let me attempt a translation: When the time comes, men with guns will take our livestock. They might even come back for the vegetables. Such a beautiful video this is, and the music was especially good. May God bless Dan and Suzy and their wonderful family !
Don't scare elderly people by talking about imminent government upheaval for crap sake!
@@mircat28 Sorry Miranda, we have seen it before. Whatever happens now will just keep us stronger in our old ways. My children will also get stronger.
@@kevinamundsen7646 Most people in the USA that grow their own veg and animals also have guns. So that statement is out of fashion now. The city dwellers are the people that will be scared and have to go without. Dan is totally correct.
Susie's parents are living my dream. To have your own land to grow food or have chickens. The ability to make the things you need or repair the things you have is a treasure. It made me happy to see people living the way that makes them happy. It is obvious that your family is blessed. I love your videos.
I live in the country in the US. I save all things, too. I may need them someday. It has happened over and over again. Usually used for alternative purposes, other than the original purpose. I appreciate Suzie's daddy, very much. I'm in love with you and your family. We could learn a LOT from you and others like you. THANK YOU!!!
Please Thank Susie's family for being so kind to share their beautiful country life with us. I grew up in the country in Southern Ohio. My family grew most of our food like your father does. We canned( preserved our food in sealed glass jars) so that we would have food all year round. I still have my own garden and can my tomatoes. This has been a great year for everyone's tomatoes. My tomatoes are huge like your father in laws. I loved seeing those beets too. I love to eat pickled beets. I don't have enough garden space to grown them where I live now. I enjoyed seeing all the handcrafted baskets and structures Susie's father made. What kind of wood did he use? Willow trees? My parents who grew up in the country saved parts, screws, bolts, metals, etc. They grew up in the depression where no one had money to buy new things and they just had to fix what they had and hope it kept working. That's why people gardened too. The Pandemic has reminded all of us here in the USA that we need to go back to raising our own foods and preparing for alternate sources of heat in the winter time. And now we need to worry about alternate sources of water and ways to stay cool from the heat.
Your nieces are all such lovely girls. It was lovely to meet Susie's sister too. It was good to see the beauty of nature and family come together. I loved that field of sunflowers you drove by. This has been one of my favorite videos that you have made! I hope you will continue to be able to visit each other more often. And may Susie's family and yours continue to be blessed with good health and happiness!
Living here in the Midwest, you would not think you are in another country. Your countryside and roads do not look any different than ours. Pretty cool. Sati is blessed to have a large extended family
I thought they were in Oklahoma visiting before they went back to Russia when the video started.
I have to tell you watching you and your father-in-law and the swing talking Was wonderful.
The younger generation has no idea what they're missing.
I hope you guys are well.
I am Portuguese, and this video shows exactly how the mindset of Portuguese parents are. We are here for our children, to give to our children. And when you said that the older people in the country are stronger than the older people in the city, is so true!!!! In Portugal we see people in their 70s and 80s still working in the field❤️ Beautiful video, thank you for sharing.
This is making me hungry for Fried Green Tomatoes. Where I live we slice the tomatoes while they are still green right before ripening, dust with seasoned flour and pan fry. Omg... so good. Say Hi to Susie's parents from Adorables! 🥰
Great with a little garlic and parmesan cheese
My granny made fried green tomatoes by slicing, dipping in egg-bath, coated with cornmeal seasoned with salt and pepper, and deep-fried. Yummy - you have to try it.
@@numberoneduchess I have, it is equally tasty, just can't stand the grit of the cornmeal, I'm a flour girl. But around these parts, both ways are used.😁
This Pandemic has taught me to store extra food, water and other supplies. During last winter in Texas, electric went out all across Texas during a very unusual cold spell. This taught me to have an alternative heat source. A lot of city people grow vegetables in large pots on their patios, porches, windowsills, and wherever they can find a little soil.
Growing vegetables and fruits is still a huge thing in Russia, in the UK it has almost completely died out. Are these the types of video topics you like best? I’m researching for my own channel. I’m 200 videos in and still can’t find the magic formula
But the Americans are too lazy… they prefer Walmart.
@@albeca7591 Most Americans are very hard working people. Walmart is a good place to buy things to stock up.
@@albeca7591 C'mon! Every country has a place that it similar to wallmart, it doesn't mean that it's inhabitants are lazy!
@@albeca7591 not all are. Depends on up bringing. We grow some vegetables and can them. We had a successful beet harvest and tomatoes, cucumbers also. I too save everything. In the future they can be used.
Suzy's parents are AWESOME! A big hug to them for me. I would love to share my gardens with them -- they shine brighter.
Suzy's Daddy is a Treasure. I wish we were neighbors.
God says to honor your mother and father. You've certainly done that in this incredible film and your words.
What a beautiful video. It’s so nice to see how Suzie’s family lives. Her father’s farm is wonderful. It takes a lot of work to grow so many healthy vegetables. All of the women in Suzie’s family look just like her. The baskets that her father makes are beautiful.
Oh I'm thinking the grandparents were so happy to see their beautiful lil granddaughter and of course their daughter and son-in-law❤️🙏 beautiful family, beautiful scenery of your country. Thank you
I love this video for many reasons. Firstly, the scenery while driving, secondly, the fresh vegetables, 3rdly the country side life, calm and peaceful and away from all the city chaos 4thly - the value for old things and hand made crafts and Last but not least the beautiful family and grandpa.
Suzie's parents are "Old School" and know the value of farm life and how one can live from the Earth! You are so right in your thoughts as to how people will survive in the face of tragedy or hard times. The knowledge that Suzie's parents have should not be lost with them! Learn from them and teach Seti these things too. You may not have time for a garden each year but if times are tough, you will be able to grow your own things! Knowledge is power! When we are dependent on someone else to provide for our daily needs, such as food, we become so removed from the labor of living. Also, the handy work of weaving that Suzie's father does is amazing! My parents provided for us but they also taught us the value in hard work and quality work! We are, as a family where we are today because we all worked together to make a great life! I can never, ever repay my parents for all that they taught me or provided me! My mom is gone now but she lives through me in what she has taught me to do in life which is used every single day! Love this video so much Dan! Love and hugs for all!
This was incredible to see. Such a wonderful sense of family there.
The entire video was very evocative. I can tell you have a sense of foreboding.
I love how philosophical you are. I especially was interested in your discussion with your father-in-law about the vaccines and how it is harder for people to have a life if they don’t get the shot. I am with you on this.
My best to all of you for your continued happiness during these difficult times. I can see that you are preparing. We all should be doing the same.
That talk with his father in law really hit me. I feel like I am the only one in my circle that gets it.
@@jorejaha there are many of us. A lot of my friends don’t understand but I have a few who do. Hang in there!
I could see his sense of foreboding as well. Especially when talking with Susie's dad and when he spoke of older ppl saving everything in case it's ever needed. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. It's as if he could now understand why. The smokehouse showed me they were survivalists, also the huge garden. Dan understands how vital this way of life is, now that "things" are changing.
@@denisefarmer366 yes, the tone of the video was very affecting, as if the train is coming down the tracks and we had better get ready.
The conversation with his father-in-law made my son and me so depressed. We had no idea that things were heading that direction in Russia, too. We had hoped that it would be stopped there.
Absolutely LOVED seeing Suzie's place she grew up in, her parents home! The land is beautiful! So glad they give their children fresh grown food. Very nice meeting Suzie's parents and part of her family! Thank you!
One thing stood out to me. The girls faces stuck in the phone. We take much for granted. What a beautiful nostalgic place.
ALL THE SISTERS LOOK JUST ALIKE...SO PRETTY :)
This is what Nebraska is like where I am from, everybody has a garden. Things are old, your dad doesn't wear a shirt. The vegetables are wonderful.
My dad doesn’t wear a shirt
Dan, I think you would be happy to be a farmer . I see the joy in your face as you walk in your father in laws gardens. I see the joys you take in your trees at your house. You would be a great farmer.
Wow!! This was one of the most AMAZING videos I've ever seen!! Dan you two have out done yourselves with this video! It touched my heart and soul in many many many ways and took me back to being a child at my granny's farm and visiting my Nanny and Poppy's house as well!! Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories!
If all of us did not speak different languages or have different accents, I could believe Susie's father's beautiful country farm land looks very much the same as where I grew up with all the wonderful healthy 🥒🍅🍅🥕🧅🌽 Vegetables. Such great fresh food. All of your family ❤️ looks so kind and loving❤️❤️🙏🌎🙏
I think this is the most beautiful video so far--the photography, the music, the beauty of a private farm, your wise words. Thank you for sharing with us.
Suzy's Dad has a beautiful, bountiful garden and all the veggies look delicious! Her Mother's bread looks really good. Beautiful family!
I feel this is something that Americans can really relate to? I’m researching for my own channel and would love to know what it was that initially attracted you to this channel?
@@SamsRussianAdventures One of their videos randomly showed up in my feed and it looked interesting so I watched it.
I was immediately struck by how many interests we had in common.. for instance, Dan showed his cherry trees that he had planted and explained about the flavors of the different types.. I'm a tree-hugger.. and what cinched it was their cat!
I 💜 🐈 (I love all animals).
And I am really interested in how people of all ages and walks of life live in other countries.
@@SamsRussianAdventures the love they show to everyone. Dan shows respect and love to people on his channel. He is real with his feelings and way of life. Love watching every video he has done
That is the only Bread I would eat these days, made my Mouth water just seeing it, store bought these days is Rubbish.
@@oldenshort1346 I second that.
Russia is the real friend of India ...Tons of love from India ❤❤❤❤❤
We have so much here I the U.S to be grateful for. Dan and Suzi really get it! The simple things in life are greatly appreciated by these two wonderful folks!
The country. No matter what place you call “home,” the country will sustain the people.
So simple, yet so profound.
It is a joy and a blessing to live in the country.
God bless the Sheekoz family and all their loved ones.
Suzy’s Daddy is so talented with his amazing buildings and baskets. Such a nice family, and so blessed to have a lovely garden that feeds everyone. It feels so comfortable there on Suzy’s family’s farm. Wishing you all the very best in life. Love you from Texas.
Suzy Dad is very talented man. I admire his hard work, to ensure that his family is fed. You are such a great family, and we love you, from the U.S.A.
This reminds me so much of how my Dad grew up in Tennessee. The ‘general store’ his grandfather ran - over 100 years ago - still stands and is full of things that might be useful one day. Also, this home is the source of how my family learned to share what they had. Much respect to Mr. Aslanbech
So fascinating to see different parts of your country. Suzi’s father is very talented! I live rural too with gardens and chickens.
The Book of Truth
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."
You know Dan , I hear you speaking straight from your heart. Thank you and God bless you sir, our world needs more people like you!
This is a very sensitive video. I know the value in growing your own food and living away from big cities. Thank you for your touching storytelling ... I'm so happy I found your channel. Devastated with what's happening right now. Love from Australia is 🕊
I rewatch these videos now, and I remember thinking, it's so peaceful there, why would you ever be worried about national unrest.......
Now, in March 2022, I am thinking, Suzy's dad is a REAL man. Good on him, not forsaking the land. Good on you Dan, for how much you love nature and self dependence. 💜🙏💙 Always praying for your whole family.
Suzy's father did a great job and is a good gardener. Very interesting to see. Dan stop being so hard on yourself with your English. You speak very well. Our families are much alike as most parents live to help their adult children. It makes us feel needed. Hello from Texas.
Heirloom tomatoes-they look really strange but taste the best! Save the seeds for planting next year. This reminds me of both my grandparent's farms where they grew most everything they ate.
The hours and hours your father in law spent making those baskets ,fences ,structures ...just amazing ..Good luck with all the craziness going on..
Susie’s Dad reminds me so much of my Dad he even looks like and acts like him, he always had a nice vegetable garden and would give us kids vegetables out of it, I really miss him . Thank you for the beautiful and informative video I really appreciate it .😊❤️
This was such a beautiful, poignant video, Dan.
When I was a kid (1950s) it wasn't unusual to bite into a store bought apple and find a worm inside, same with fresh corn, but now people will sue the store if they find anything in their produce, so in order to sell bug free produce you have to spray it with chemicals.
In Spanish we always called the little wooden shed in the back yard a "cuartito."
Dan, I was born and raised in South Carolina in the country, and Susie's parents' home reminds me of my home and childhood. I am now 81 years old and love your videos and love to watch you, Susie, and Sati. That baby is too cute for words. Stay positive, stay safe and God Bless you and your entire family.
So many women and baby girls Suzi has a lovely family Your father in law certainly knows how to grow food God bless all of you
This is the best video yet. Maybe next time you get together you could get the sisters to tell a bit about what their life is like. Loved the shots driving across country. My grandparents had a large garden too and you are right ... the could handle life without all of the modern technology ... that's the way they grew up!! And very impressed with all of the caning made by your father-in-law. Please thank your in-laws for sharing a peek into their life.
A great job Dan with this one. Very interesting! Loved seeing Suzy's family. Sati was her usual self Adorabe!
What wonderful baskets Suszie's father can make and that building! Oh my gosh.
Susie's parents and my Grandparents who raised me, are the same. I am beginning to wonder if they have the same heritage, although our DNA shows no bloodlines from your Country. We always grew enough food for all their sons and families. Grandpa weaved his own baskets too! He made everything by hand that he needed most of the time. Thanks for sharing this video and please tell Susie's parents how proud I am to see them doing the same things we use to do here.
