Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on UA-cam, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too :)
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!
When you mentioned the smell of your grandfather's attic I could immediately smell my grandfather's garage from when I was a child. I miss him. That scent will stay with me forever.
Now I finally know, how does the Sheath named in English. Lars provides education in diferent ways.)
Birch bark is natures kydex. It also looks awesome.
Your artistry and craftsmanship is truly inspiring. Making use of natural material is the hall mark of genuine sustainability.
Shit man I have been watching since you've had 200 or so subs haha this channel has seriously blown up
Thank you for hanging on Chris :)
Cheers. Like my other comment said, check out lifestraw. This way you don't have to carry water around and worry about running out of water. It's a gamechanger for survival. It's like a thing you can use to drink safely from a river or pond or something, any outdoor water.
Chris Chavis some call it a deathstraw.
You seem to be in a great mood, joking around etc. Good on you!
Certain smells are a direct trigger to memory!
I can vouch for that :)
Completely agree. Even more than music.
scythe work is for women lars . I lived in austria for a short time and traditionally men drove the tractors and the women did the scythe work its the way of the world.
Didnt seem right to me so I volunteered for some womens work clearing around young tree,s in the forest. They gave me scythe similar to the one you have and i every one watching was amazed that I managed to do a days work in about two hours . what was more amazing was how a scythe could go straight through the toe of my favorite hunting boots and how someone could loose so much blood and not die.
Their is a reason for everything and a natural order dont try to upset it.
Huntarama, a sad story, but it made me laugh. Thank-you.
Great story mate :) It is certainly a traditional women's work around here as well. Anyway in the days of harvesting with a scythe. When I see the old photos of rows of women on the field reaping the harvest, I wonder how often someone cut the next guys ankle :) In the woods I treat it almost as firearm. It can be a dangerous tool indeed.
Saw kydex, read kotex.
Looked at thumbnail.
Nope...
Reread kydex, oh nvm.
Impressive all natural sheath quite, gotta love birch bark. thanks, Lars.
Thank you buddy :)
Another awesome video, that is a great sheath you made. Outstanding retention and looks good too!
Thank you :)
YES..............PLEASE video some of your trail blazing effort to the new camp site. I'd like to see how you do that, might come in handy for some of us!
Taste good with SOUPE !!! that the flat bread you whered eating !!!! love your vid , always learning thanks Bruno
Great job Lars. The old scythe really gets the job done. The pot loud speaker system is nice....funny.
That sheath is incredible, very smart and functional. Survival Russia, you are very talented and resourceful! Thank you!
i know that "forest-madness" at 2:38 ^_^
Nice Tutorial, I will try it, thanks for sharing!
In the end the knife on the table looks like a sun clock 13:13 - perfect "multi-purpose-tool"! ;)
Lars! Try EKA (Eskilstuna)knife sortiment perhaps there are some items that could intrest you! I bought a MORA dimond sharper and that was not cheap but just as I see it only worth a big smile to look at have not used the knifes bugth mutch enoth to sharpend them yet ..... if I do but the the EKA knifes BarbroSweden
Love your channel, I am hooked on it, and have been enjoying all the videos! You have done many projects with birch bark....have you ever considered trying your hand at a birch back canoe, possibly as a longer term winter project? The Native American Indians had canoes of peeled bark, and pitched with pine resin. I bet you could easily craft one.
You need to go back to hammock camping.
The trees are big enough there.
Thanks again.
Even here in Australia 4 to 5 litres a day per person is an average.
More in summer (currently winter here).
As everyone has said, great sheath!
Not seen anything like it before.
You're channel is brilliant. 👍👍
Natures kydex, lol. Great work mate, really enjoyed that episode. ATB Moose.
I truly enjoyed every minute of your video. You were at your best here. If there are those who are sceptical of the open bottom design (on the sheath), then a simple birch round plug can be inserted, much as if one is making a birch water/food container. Also, I'm worried that you might suffer from dehydration. I also had a bush camp without water, with no solution but to haul in water (& beer) by sled.
Very cool sheath, thanks for sharing, just got off work and had a Survival Russia video treat waiting for me to watch ....Awesome !!!
You should metal detect your camp sites. You never know where old stuff got abandoned.
No time to drive or dig a well? The swamp is nearby. The water is probably only 2 or 3 meters down.
A camp without water is not a camp at all. Yes, winter brings snow. It isn't winter now though and this is the time to get foundations set before the frost comes.
The mosquitoes are going to get lazy if you keep bringing the food to their house. :)
I would definitely buy a book called My Grandfather's Attic written by you.
I've been waiting for Lars to say "Get to the choppa", if he would've said it into the cooking pot, that would be awesome and stuff and stuff.
Nice antique Tool I was thinking maybe a smaller ring Cut out of a pipe to replace your nice job with the wire. Enjoy your channel.
Another great video Lars. I've always been intrigued by items made from natural materials, not just the usual spoons!!! What else can be made from bark and which trees are better for what items?
Sounds like a good future video for the reenactment camp.
I wish you and your family well as always.
Any ideas on sourcing water in the bush,.. when not body of water available? driven well with sand point? portable condensate machine/ system? any ideas? i like the bush made sheath.
Great video!! I learned something new today from watching, now if only I had some birch in Texas lol
Scythe | saiþ | not sk...
Otherwise, your English is great.
Also, I like seeing the old fashioned whipping. I learned that skill from old fisherman who use it to whip the ends of ropes. This nowadays is usually achieved with electrical tape and/or a lighter.
Nice sheath, nicer table! Thank You for sharing!
Lars, when you get ready to clear the trails, remember that you own a bulldozer. Just think of it as a not-so-mini crawler.
Thanks Lars, that sheath is very cool, I guess now I am going to have to harvest some birch bark and get a Mora Original...
YOU are awesome, Lars. I think this impressed me more than any other video you’ve done.
Nice job. I like the open end. The knife should stay dry and at least rust minimal.
This is super awesome!
Can you please make a close up video or put some link here on how to do that wrapping around the sheath?
Thank you for this video :)
Pretty cool, Lars... Two thumbs up! :)
It may have been mentioned, but the "sc" in "scythe" is pronounced with a soft "c" like in "science"
Definitely awesome but not something I can try to copy, I think the nearest birch is a few hundred miles North of here. Just wondering if there is anything here that can be used like that.
I really believe that you have discovered the meaning to life.
Thanks for the videos
Yep ....you need to dig or drill a well there for some good drinking water and maybe a water filter....be a great video
Thanks for adding some cheer to my Sunday Lars.
Can you show how you started and finished the lashings around the sheath? Thanks for the video
I really like that, as long as you have your knife you've also got a decent tinder source if you were desperate as well as some cordage
Kan du visa hur du lindar tråden och får till avslutet? Tack för en otroligt bra kanal 👍💪
Cool Sheath, thank you, Survival Russia !
Thank you for mosquitoes love you
thank you from the uk love
...I need new sheaths for my old Rapala filleting knives, their leather ones are next to useless...
My dad got me one of those "scythe" tools for my birthday . There were weeds on the garden....
1:50, Lars the grime reaper.
You should use a big clear plastic sheet over all of that vegetation to collect water
Here's a suggestion for the next sheath: make a traditional weaved birch bark sheath ("tuohituppi" in Finnish)! That would look awesome on your belt / chest. And thanks for another awesome video!
I will have to look that up :) Sounds interesting. Thank you.
Your voice reminds me of a tin can phone when you speak into your steel food container at 2:38.
This type of sheath is really awsome. You already showed it in an earlier video and therefore I made two of them. They all work very well. Thank you for sharing and keep on. King regards.
Awesome :) The one I made before this one was not really good looking :)
May be not as excellent as the one now, but still good copmared to mine. The niceness depends crucially on getting a nice thick and well structured piece of bark and cutting it off without damages. Rather difficult. What kind of birch grows in your area? In the region I live (Brandenburg/Germany) you mostly will find betula pendula also known as silver birch, in German it is called "Hängebirke".
Nice timing! New Survival Russia-video just as I get home from woodshed construction(damn it was hot), perfect after-sauna educative entertainment("edutainment"?) right here. I must say at these temperatures I'm thankful for the AC, though I have no issues sleeping rough in a tent without washing myself for days on end as such. It's always comfiest in the spring or fall when a sleeping system gets the conditions just right.
Human olfactory(smell) memory is quite strange, reminded by your "grandfather's attic smell" anecdote. Stood next to my father many times when he suddenly smells something and starts on a nostalgic ramble about how it brought up fresh memories from the 1950s or -60s. Boiling pigs' heads among other things make this happen. Suddenly I want to braise some pig cheek.
That sheath is dang awesome! In terms of blade condition it's great to have a completely open bottomed design, lets all the moisture evaporate, water drip down, airflow around the blade, all that bla bla bla. Shaping up the campsite nicely as well. Thank you for the instructional video, have a great week Lars!
Thank you for sharing your day and thoughts :)
Spring and autumn are indeed great for camping and relaxing. In winter we can dress for the cold, but you can't really dress for the heat :)
Have a great week yourself buddy!
Hello Lars..another brilliant video.in English we do not pronounce the letter c in scythe...if you get what I mean.looking forward to your next video already.
in Canada we don't pronounce the c, t or h. Scythe: "sye / sigh".
ofc i want you to film when you make a trail to the camp. why not, like to see you work :)
Awesome video as always Lars!
I remember you making one of these birch sheaths a little bit ago! This one looks much better than the last, though.
The ability to "clamp" the knife in the sheath looks really useful!
Thank you Fish :) Yes this sheath is much better. Fresh bark makes a difference.
That sheath looks great! I continue to be amazed by the many uses of the birch tree!
you can make a match box, canoe, loads of stuff. truly a resourse for sustainabillty
Very interesting, But how will this bark behave in the cold -35C? it can crack?
I highly doubt the cold weather will affect the birch bark. Let's find out during winter :)
.....very nice , thanks GRIZZ
Great video, nice job on the sheath! Thanks!
Hey Bro, i try it in the town neshnevartovsk, i was born in siberia and grow up in Germany, an three other countries, Lars. I tried it, shit it was so difficult, really.
What i want to say, yes its true, what Lars say, yes the f… its hard, but we go dalshe (we go to the next step). Lars really you are great and right, thanks for say good words by my rodina👊
sorry BRO, someone don't want to hear my words!!! I am with you, and dash mine bogh budu …
That is a very good natural sheath solution. We have numerous wild birch trees in the southern nj forests. They look much whiter in color than your Russian birch. I will give this a try with one of my moras. Thanks!
It looks yellowish because I peeled off the outer layer :) If you heat it over a gas burner it is more controllable. Too much heat and bubbles will form on the bark.
You are living the dream. Please dig a well by hand by live stream.
Love your video's! Thank you for taking the time to make them (Mike from America).
Thank you very much Mike :)
"Nature's Kydex" would have been an awesome title for the video!
Maybe it should have been the title :)
How come you don't have a companion dog?
Very cool. Love these types of projects you do.
Outstanding! First thing I did when I moved here was plant a birch tree. It's 17 yrs old now. I make wreaths, trellis and walking sticks.. I am the last holdout in the neighborhood who isn't wealthy. They think we are hillbilly's, they look away when we fix our trucks and cars in the driveway. BUT who do they call when they don't know how to do something? Us! Our landlord is kind not to kick me out of the house and sell to trendy house flippers. House less than a block away just went for sale . They want 250,000.usd *Coughs and chokes* . The wealthy find my neighborhood all of a sudden. It's green and lush and forgotten, until recently. I will not move closer to town . It is a violent horrible place.. dirty, drugs and guns and litter. I won't go..
Cities are less than awesome :)
I thank you again for letting us into your forest and making us feel like neighbors or family or somthing like that. Lol
Auction your handy work!
I made a comment on your last video asking if you would evaluate the skis you use when it snows. I found a earlier video you made that does that, how much did they cost you.
The fur lined skis are about 200$. The fur liner is must in my opinion. They do ship abroad.
I wish I was camping!
That is a great sheath thanks for teaching us how to do this!
Very cool sheath, loved it, ya, totally not enough water, maybe get a big drum and stock it up for longer stays at camp or dig a well? I know too hot. I just got a 23Lt cantina for the ATV. Ya your crawler would work great. Yes please film your trail making efforts to camp. I know you feel not so great about the work but as odd as it is I’m thinking people like watching other people work hard, and all the effort it takes to get what you want. It’s not like SNAPPing your finger like Magic and it’s done. It would be cool to see how you make a trail, and what you will do on the soft earth spots and low areas, and what can be done with what ever you find along the way? We find ourselves having to clear old trails, it’s not so easy even with a chain saw. Good luck, I look forward to watching your hard work.
I will try and do a video on the trail blazing. It seems like you are right about people wanting to watch other people work hard :) I actually have a few routes to clear.
Survival Russia supper Awesome! 💃🏼💃🏼👍
100% awesome nope not going anywhere lol locked safely. Yeah I definitely think some slip by quality control for sure in all companies you get those lazy days or lazy worker. Shit happens I have definitely had some fails from CRKT to my SRK sk5 steel knife fail could have been me or the heat treatment I don't know. Then did another video about blades and did many stab test and nothing went wrong from my 5 dollar knives to my 250 dollar knives which led me to believe manufacturing problems for sure.🤘🤘👊👍👍
Can you find a spot to dig for water in that region?
Bu - bu -buut it's not tactical......
nothing like waking up in a hot tent or car...
That sheath was awesome. Great camp.
Very impressive retention 👍. Does it work on all knife handle shapes or work well on non wood handles?
I think it works best with rounded and oval handles.
Ruuuuuuunnnnn get to the "crawler"
Nice and neat. Looks good.
New subscriber here. Found your channel a few months ago through Far North Bushcraft and Survival's recommendation. I've gotta say, this new series of the "Siberian Frontier Camp" is terrific!
America, Finland and England have their own brand of bushcrafting that people enjoy. Which have become fairly well maintained traditions.
So, it's great to see you also preserving and passing on valuable survival skills. Or important traditions from Russia, as well!!
Trah, la, la-lah, lah
If I ever get a round handled knife, I'll have to try making a sheath like this! I was surprised you didn't tar all the cordage on this. Oh well. Easily repaired or replaced, and you can observe the difference between the two over time. Excited to see how your camp shapes up. Take care.
it may be hot in the tent, but at least it's bug free
Wow, great job!
Awesome looking and working sheat!😍
Respect and greetings, GR🤘
Trail clearing is a mindset.
i like that very nice
Very well done sir!
Awesome sheath for your Mora! Old School is the (BEST) School! Lars, why are you building a semi permanent shelter at a location where there is no water source close by? Just curious?
Thank you :) It's good site and there are not too many of those around. I mostly use this site during winter when water is not a problem.I can dig a seeping well 100-200 meters away if needed, but the water have to be filtered and/or boiled. filters tend to take a lot of bad taste out of ground water.
Thanks for the reply Lars. The lesson I learned from this video is you can never have to much water! 😀👍👍
how far do you have to dig for water? 10 ft?
Nice day and it was a great sheath.
great video Lars
Great handcrafted.
two words: solar still
Beautiful sheath! So simple but still probably better and more functional than 95% of the crappy Kydex sheaths out in the market :D
Hope you've had a super Sunday.
That was a fine traditional project. I also enjoyed your 'high tech' sound amplification system. Thanks.
" have a drink on me " hehe
