    Looks like the Little Pinky princess is holding camera for you at times. You are the dream outdoor dad that kids these days needs to have, when most of kids these days are doing is, video gaming in their dark room. Keep it up Lars.

      Yes I made her the cameraman of the day. It went OK :) It was actually a pretty tough trip for her. If I have the time I will tell tomorrow. Thanks!

    That is seriously deep snow. Those hunter skis really work well. Tell the pink troll hi from Canada

    • @SurvivalRussia
      @SurvivalRussia  8 років тому

      Yes it's well deep, and deeper in the forest, because there it's not as wind packed. Thanks Karl!

    Your videos are great Lars. Out playing in the snow with your awesome daughter! I grew up here in central California US without any snow. It looks like a lot of fun and it looks suuuuuper cold... Great memories being made for both you and the pink troll! Love your awesome channel! -Mark

    Your skis are a great and logical improvement over the long, narrow ones of many years ago. They were a struggle to control in deep powder going downhill.

    A few episodes ago you mentioned you may share another story from your history. Tell us a story! (Obviously when your pink troll is around it may not be appropriate to share war stories.)
    We're also looking forward to the next steps on the Survival Russia Vehicle!

  • @garland978
    @garland978 8 років тому +2

    The hunter skis are much superior for deep snow, easier on and off also. MSRs are only good in shallow snow or packed snow around a well used area. I vote in your defense at the Mama Russia trial. Thank you Lars and troll for a fun video.

  • @Jason-kg4rs

    Another good video. I remember walking home from a neighbors in winter as a kid on top of the ice layer but less than a mile from home it got thin and I went up to my waist over and over in the snow, It was killer and I was exhausted from it. The skis definitely work.

    • @SurvivalRussia

    Good video Lars. Having raised up a Pink Troll of my own, plus her little brother, I qualify to say enjoy her while you can because those trolls, regardless of color or gender, grow like weeds and will soon be out on their own. Mine are nearing Middle Age already, yikes!

    Even though the Russian skis are somewhat narrow, their overall surface area is doing a great job of keeping you out of the snow, kind of like water skis in water. Yes, please do a 'day after Mrs' video LOL

  • @davidanstey1449
    @davidanstey1449 8 років тому +3

    I watched your video a week or so ago where you calmly discussed how you got caught in crossfire... you seemed more worried about your wife when she sees your little one burnt her cloths. Great video as always. You should sell some of those skis yourself, I think there would be demand here internationally.

    Lars, if things get too bad there in Siberia, if the Pink Troll and Pink Troll Mom drive you out of Russia for your survival, you can always stay in the hot, humid, alligator and Awsome sized mosquito infested, semi-tropical pine forest with me, ummm, as long as you do all the hunting, skinning, trapping, fishing, shelter building, cooking, laundry and house cleaning. You are sooooo much better at it than me. And I have only some 20 years on you my friend. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you are a troll-sitter too.

  • @mikedee8876
    @mikedee8876 8 років тому

    Maple season will be here in a month or so (north east US), and we have snowpack like you do. We navigate it with the MSR type snowshoes because we are working in between trees carying buckets and have to be able to manuever tight spaces, but I do see the value of the Russian skis for packing down the main pathways...

    I miss-read the title as "Russian SKS vs. snowshoes" xD
    I was thinking it'd be a pretty unfair fight...
    Those US snowshoes look like They'd work well for storage or being packed.
    Too bad your Canadian shoes broke.
    Winter sports clothes aren't too good at things other than sports.
    Oh, and you're as good as dead, Lars xD Goodluck attempting to survive the misses...

    @LionheartSJZ 8 років тому +4

    Great and informative video Lars. Two questions though. 1.) would there be a benefit in bringing ski poles for the hunter skis and 2.) you're terrain is pretty flat. How do the hunter skis fare if you have a lot of hills in your terrain (like I do, some of them really steep).

  • @bushcraftnorthof6012

  • @clinnyboy
    @clinnyboy 8 років тому +1

    Funny thing about those Canadian snowshoes. I had a pr. of those for years and they didn't break. Maybe you got one that was flawed. Must be carefull with snowshoes to not bridge something (that is to step with weight where only the tip and tail is supported and the middle of the shoe unsupported such as two parallel trees buried beneath the snow. I'd expect the shoes to maybe give a bit less support than the much larger skiis but try getting around in tight quarters like a swamp or heavy forest with the boards on your feet. Still, I'd really like a pair of those skiis...Really enjoy your vids..

    • @SurvivalRussia
      @SurvivalRussia  8 років тому

      The forest wore them out. There are lots of logs and empty voids under the snow. The snowshoes is made for open spaces I think. I don't have problems with logs and voids on the skis. The skis are narrower than the snowshoes, so it's just a question of "tip-placement" when navigating denser forest.
