The fact that the place you wanted to go to has now got a fence around it may mean it has become a popular local destination. A fee is probably being charged to keep the place clean. Channels like yours show ppl around the world these beautiful places. As soon as we all want to go then they need to be protected.
They are free for locals. Privileged white tourists like yourself made it a commodity.
I lived with a Buryat tribe in Siberia near the boarder of Mongolia and their only access to development is ecotourism - so yes, you have to pay because this place IS NOT YOUR REAL ANCESTRAL HOME!
Not to throw down the academia card, but I'm currently working on a degree in Mongolic and East Asian studies. I've read literally hundreds of books about the Mongols and Genghis (actually Chinggis) Khan and written several papers. My passion for the subject cannot be overstated. The 13th century Mongols are endlessly fascinating linguistically, culturally and historically. Their brutality, in some instances, was exaggerated, but not by that much. Chinggis and his sons were responsible for the massacre of tens of millions of people, up to 10% of the world's population. Some Khans encouraged exchange and tolerated (key word being tolerated) religious freedom while others executed Muslims on the spot for performing halal slaughter. While it's essential to view the Mongols in the context of their time and with cultural nuance and depth, the sheer scale of destruction was appalling even by the standards of the 13th century. There's a reason the Mongols are frequently described (and describe themselves) in primary sources as divine punishment or a natural disaster. Something like this had simply never been seen before. While turbulence and war were common, destruction on this scale was not.
I should add: none of this is meant to criticize, simply to offer historical and textual accuracy.
Wow, glad to have an expert like you to explain. Thank you.
Wow 10% of world population. Makes others like Hitler look like amateurs.
As Noam Chomsky Explained there is more blood spilled in the taking of one city in modern times than any other time in human history. Todays violence makes Chinggis Khan violence look like a side show aspecially when you compare him to the west's leggacy of violence around the world.
I have to admit I was sceptical when she said why can't there be men like Genghis Khan today.
@@RodZamora_is_the_best I definitely don't consider myself an expert compared to my professors, but I have been studying the field for several years. It's one of the most engrossing epic tales in all history and I think enthusiasm for the Chinggisids is fantastic. I would just really advise reading actual scholarism and primary sources as most "pop history" books tend to way oversimplify things.
This one was a bit difficult to watch.....
Came off as an entitled tourist and started to cry when a small village ruined her "natural and exploring" narrative.
You literally followed a road with signs to a village......
Like everyone else said, it's a small guarded village on a tiny side of a big lake. Most likely has a guard from the local government to protect the water or protect from illegal dumping. Could've just asked why they were there and learn about the area and culture.
Mongolia as a whole is pretty empty. A simple google search renders "A vast, incredibly sparsely populated country is 99.7% empty".
I agree.
My thoughts too!
Was she crying because the place has been privatized or because no more free camping.
That's their country and it's operated by policies and regulations.
I was confused at her reaction.
This video was a joke. Besides the silly crying, etc., who wishes for more rulers/conquerors like Genghis Khan?
I think it's not about the fee, but about the fact that this place was not turned into a national park and preserved in a wild state, but turned into a recreational place (taken over by people)
I think it's not about the fee, but about the fact that this place was not turned into a national park and preserved in a wild state, but turned into a recreational place (taken over by people)
I traveled for 10,000+ miles in Mongolia to the far corners and of that 80 were on tarmac. I wild camped the whole time and would often drive for days in unbridled wilderness and freedom. To be upset about the wilderness being taken over in one small lake that provides local income insanely close to the capital city in relative terms just seems on the hunt for a narrative that whilst has some truth is probably least evident in Mongolia. If you’re crying about development in Mongolia I would urge you to drive for 10 mins in any direction.
I think this is way too simplistic a take on this subject (for the views) and when in such an awe inspiring place it deserves a more thoughtful and retrospective understanding.
yeah, also as a Mongolian I am kinda irritated about that simplistic comment. I was bit confused and worried when I saw the title of how "wild camping went badly in Mongolia" and was also very interested how Eva felt in my country. Of course it's not ideal that the nature doesn't stay open and free to all as a concept. But it is a lake that's not really far away drive for mongolian perspective and still keeps its wild nature. I've been there two times and already the second time I realized the increase of visitors this place has becoming and sadly losing its wilderness. So I think it is better to keep it regulated and someone collects small amount of fee and do the work rather than becoming one of those highly visited, polluted lake by the (unfortunately not so responsible) campers most of the time.
I do agree with her sentiment of how it is very sad that everywhere the nature is getting less and less wild. But having this reaction in a country, where you can literally drive a little bit far and you DO find wild nature, feels kinda entitled.
What is a tarmac?
Nailed it.
@@ericcartman9594 pavement
Well said. And I envy you your journeys
I hope Eva takes down this video because from the swooning oer Genghis Khan with that "if only men like him existed now" to her tearing up at the sights of remote civilization around the wild (that reaction was wild in itself), this video was a little off.
Agreed. I'd love to believe it's sarcasm but it really doesn't come off that way. This is the only video I've seen of hers where I think she really should address the content and where that perspective came from. Extolling a mass murderer isn't just a difference of opinion, especially with everything going on in the world. Hopefully she was just misinformed, but not sure how you can be that off on Genghis Khan.
More than a little. Just shows how ignorant she really is.
With that 1.50 they probably preserve the lake, its not that deep.
And it prevents rich megalomaniacs from claiming the land and turning it into a mall.
@@havitrose This video was weird af would be an understatement. Why was she crying about nature? She doesn’t seem to be the treehugger type.
Is she off her meds? She was ranting and rambling about random sh*t.
Plus a white perosn going to Mongolia and telling them to stop charging for their land is WILD
Yes and no. I think she was just annoyed at the principle that it was privatised.
I went to Italy recently and if you go to a beach 95% is private and paid, and if you want to swim for free you can go to the few square meters of beach which is free to camp up with all the other people. This is not how it should be in my opinion. Natural wonders are public goods, and should be kept in great condition through other ways than privatisation.
You people have obviously never been to a wilderness lake with not a soul in sight. I have found many just in the state of Montana without a soul and just discovered it on a hike. Eva was looking for nature. Not a tourist trap. Of course $1.50 is cheap. But you’re missing the point.
Maybe the fee pays for picking up litter, environmental damage etc created by tourists. She is part of the problem being there and encouraging others to go too. It is not hers to access for free at the expense of the places visited, and make profit on UA-cam from.
And then lights a fire despite a perfectly good cooker with her. How hypocritical.
That's only a $1.47 though, and the problem is that channels such as yours encourage the exploration of wild places. You can't have it both ways.
This is so true. Can’t understand the crying bit when it’s only 1.50 dollars. Too dramatic and entitled when she’s earning off of this video.
Not sure why you have to cry. Look at how commercial Mt Everest is. Your trip to Antarctica was commercial. You had to pay to go to a place that now has cruise ship tours. That land should have been left untouched by humans.
Exactly
So dramatic, agree
Mt Everest is different than Antarctica. Antarctica is a ship tour. Mt Everest brings the people in danger and then take all the credits of the local Sherpas, while those Sherpas die. Where people die... and are left to die slowly. To compare just shows me you are kinda out of this world.
@@maryr8364 well, maybe as a world traveller sge just became aware how big of a pickel we are all in, however this is multiple times more appreciated then a woke couch potato offering there opinion
clickbait going so far.
Sorry to say that, but travel influencers are also a part of the problem. They visit some very beautiful places and crate the urge in other people to visit these places too. Thus creating tourism there. I really respect all your hard work and sharing all of this with us, but I also have to say it always feels a bit strange and even makes me sometimes mad/sad that I don’t own a car or use planes in respect to climate change (I could afford a car and flying), limiting myself in traveling very much. While many other people don’t even seem to care and also many travel bloggers/influencers go everywhere and so on. Why should there only be a few people being entitled to see these places? Or drive around in such vehicles and fly everywhere every few weeks?
It is fine to feel sad about this, but then also reflect and accept being part of the problem.
edit:
Many other people seem to have similar thoughts about this in the comments and I really hope that you could address this in a future video. Because you always come across as a very decent and intelligent human being and should give this some thoughts. Not to mention the Genghis Khan stuff.
Best, most thoughtful comment on this video!
Thanks
9:05 I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought about it that you and your business is part of that process?
AMEN! PREACH!!
Indeed
This is true. The video will likely make Eva thousands of dollars. It's a little unreal to complain that one doesn't have unlimited free access to do that. Also a little whiny to complain about the absence of a spoon, but that's another matter.
@@hunyuanzhuang78 exactly what I thought 😅
How exactly? She has literally done the least commercial travels, living in her car for months, visiting some extremely remote places.
She barely stayed in hotels, didn’t buy first class tickets, and didn’t create vlogs on visiting Paris to see the Eiffel Tower.
Eva, I truly enjoy your videos, but I think you are way off here. Please research Ghengis Khan. And charging for the upkeep of a pristine lake is not a sin. I recently went to Morskie Oko in Zakopane. Yes, I had to pay, but the trails were excellent, there were bathrooms. And none of it took away from the pristine beauty of the lake and mountains. Not everyone can do "wild", but want to enjoy nature, too.
@@michellhuber3397 exactly
Perhaps small fee can help to keep the place in good condition as well :)
@@michellhuber3397 Dude, her videos have been utterly boring and drama fit for a woman’s gossip show. I don’t know how you enjoy her mindlessly boring videos.
I can walk 7 miles from my home and be on National Forest land and the farther east I walk the fewer gravel roads until in a large wilderness there are no roads and no tourists either. It can be done, especially in the mountain West. When I go camping, if I find a campground with restrooms, I just keep going, but I see very few campgrounds where I go. I'm impressed with Eva and I'm an old man.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u they have toilets for a reason .... What's so impressive about Eva?
I understand what you are feeling, but it's clearly based on a very limited view of things. You are travelling on a gas guzzling monster filled with equipment to help you on your "wild" adventure shopping for a lighter in a convenience store... feeling bad that countries want to maintain the nature is very counterproductive. You want them to care for the "wilderness" but you can't also stop societies from developing and bettering their conditions for your selfish need to be in the wilderness. That is the definition of privilege.
Beats sitting in an apartment watching wilderness movies on TV.
I would imagine that $1.50 goes back into the upkeep of the land, this was an overall strange episode
Riiight. Because the upkeep of nature needs human intervention.
@@stephenoshaughnessy2279 It does, when there's people showing up with large vehicles, making camp fires, for their amusement.
It wouldn't require human intervention if people weren't using it as an amusement destination - or, in this case, imagining it as "free content for social media". ;)
@@stephenoshaughnessy2279 I’d imagine that accommodating people who want to experience certain places while maintains it is bound to incur some costs. Especially if locals want to encroach it. Trash management, accommodation, security, emergency services and in some cases resorting some elements that have been lost due to human intervention in the past.
@@stephenoshaughnessy2279 Sorry but the human intervention takes place as soon as you enter nature. I'm sure Eva is a no-trace kinda girl but many are not, and we are not always as perfect as we think we are.
Eva was clear that the 1.50 wasn’t the point of her discouragement.
never comented before but both your reaction on the lake and Gengis are wild like what the hell
It was very off for me too. Is she this out of touch? Has she lost her ever loving mind?
Sadly you are braiiwashed by western culture. Nature in Europe is free for everyone to walk it. There aren't vile no traspasing signs in nature
Same.
Wow y’all jumped ship quick. One comment is not the start of a Go Fund Me for a Ghengis Khan holiday and or frozen yogurt chain.
Have noticed some weird character peeking through already from other videos.
Still love these videos, but did you not even look at the satellite map you used in the video before you went? Can't have, it's obvious there were going to be people at the lake. I know that video is manufactured, by definition, but this is the first time something FELT contrived, and genuine or not, it's difficult to watch.
I rarely look at a satellite map. I just drive and look for surprises. And I'm nearing 80.
I did not see you crying like this, visiting human-managed national parks throughout the USA.
@officialEvazuBeckxz Fair.
Get out of your car and you will find wilderness. If you come driving you can pay, you’re part of it.
Been following you and liking your videos for a while now, but I have to say, this one struck me as supremely privileged and ableist. With many wilderness areas not accessible for people with accessibility needs, having small cabins and the like accommodates that. You came across in this video as someone who thinks that only those with access to privilege, should be allowed to take nature in. Don't even get me started on you swooning over Genghis Khan...good lord. To think you took the time to film yourself there, edit the video, and post it, without taking the time to read anything about Genghis Khan?
Exactly!....Some people want to have the world for themselves. And I don't mean disrespect in any way. Only that it comes across very selfish when she gets upset because someone else limits her ability to go everywhere she pleases knowing that you are part of the reason they are comercializing this places and that not many people in the world got the privilege to even travel outside their towns. 😑
$1.50 entrance fee did I read that right? Thats it?
Yep that's it
Highway robbery.
I was disappointed by Eva's reaction which I thought was an overkill. When the entrance fee was very small, I realized quickly that it was probably for the upkeep of the land & to protect the lake.
Eva's apparent disdain for the cabins was also perplexing. You would think they were high rise condos.
I think maybe doing a little research on where the fees go to & the reason for the cabins would have gone a long way.
When I saw the reason why she was upset and cried, it felt contrived & disingenuous. I had to fast forward that part.
You people have obviously never been to a wilderness lake with not a soul in sight. I have found many just in the state of Montana without a soul and just discovered it on a hike. Eva was looking for nature. Not a tourist trap. Of course $1.50 is cheap. But you’re missing the point.
@@MichelleNovalee I understood completely and I have camped in wilderness areas with no one in sight. We just have different perceptions & can agree to disagree. ✌🏼
It’s because of influencers and their massive onslaught of descent into the mot pristine places. It’s a grotesque thing that the millennials and particularly social media promoters have done to travel, to nature, to everything. They’ve ruined it.
@@Rochestergrad.74 yes....and now complaining about more tourists on places she visits, guess she thought the world was all hers;))
It's an odd video and i think you are correct. The guy with the dog at the beginning of the video is from Berlin. He is an influencer , his web site and Eva's read very similar, all catchy words , authentic, brave, genuine , brands/ branding , we can do this and that.
Turns out that the guy with the dog , Max , owns the 4x4 company that sells wild tours in Mongolia to Europe and the west. He is also working with the Mongolian tourist trust to try and get the under 40s to go to Mongolia for tourism. He is also trying to start 4x4 wild tours across the globe to tap into the 23-40 year olds . Their branding is used to influence the followers , it's all documented in their websites and interviews including the NY times.
They brand themselves , governments pay to have these influencers on social media and make videos of the country.
Whether this is what's happening here is hard to tell but it's what they do. Not exactly saving the planet and Mongolia wants the tourists, there's a new kind of holiday and its the back to nature and be free , raw, brave etc etc.
There's actually quite a horrific one from UK that means bringing/buying a broken car and driving across half of Asia, Top Gear style , with no support but it's an "adventure" .
It's just a new way of advertising. There's no way Eva would not of known what was at that lake . It's a loop for loads of tourists, mountain bike, motorbikes , horses , they all go round the dirt track , have done for years.
Well it might be advertising but they are trying to hide it from you tube?
Odd video all the same.
"We are becoming everthing into roads"
Says the girl traveling on a car
Shes full of shite and is endlessly searching for nothing
But isn't she a tourist too ?
That is the most convenient wild camp iv ever seen. starting from buying stuff from convenience store and end with a car loaded with all kind of tool for having a convenient "WILD" camp...!
She's only 1 km from one of the many campsites. 2 miles right( east ) of the lake( shop) on Google maps. Not exactly "wild"
Who cares how convenient someone camps. You really wanna argue about the word "wild"? Eva enjoys her trips and shares her experiences with us. I don't get why there are so many people like you who say "your setup is way too comfortable! you're not really wild camping! sleep on a rock or you're fake!"
@@TheCarmacon I think the debate has been escalated by the contradictory narrative of camping by Eva herself and who's entitled to do what , it is Eva that's crying over other people camping. They are choosing to use yurts or tents , on a campsite , with their children , toilets etc.
Eva is intelligent, she would know the whole area is covered by campsites , try googling it. No one with her travel experience could misunderstand where they were going. You don't even need a fancy 4x4 which oddly fits in with the narrative of her previous video of advertising a 4x4.
It's not as wild or adventurous as it's made to be, it's a populated area .
The video is , drive from the capital , see the big monument, drive across a well trodden tourist route to a lake/campsite , cry about a few huts , drive to a field 1km away from a campsite, struggle to start a fire ( pathetic) , dramatic storm footage , coffee in a mug, thoughtful shot with a view of the wilderness ( remember, the campsites are just to the right of the shot).
Then go home? Nothing explored or explained.
I doubt you will be able to find campers who camp with nothing but a loin cloth.
@@rogil2154 it's not on the campsite so it's a wild camp....
First of all: excuse my English, I am a Spanish speaker. This woman is starting to annoy me. I think she is a not a well adjusted person so she needs a rest (but then she will not receive any payment). I prefer Vilk.
@@LediaZamora she's not well-adjusted and very manic. You are correct.
I enjoy her travels. She doesn't annoy me.
Eva, my husband & I watch you all the time & love you. But you really disappointed me with the remarks & upset over things like those cabins.
My parents couldn’t do what you do very much when they were younger. There were no sponsors then, their resources were limited & they had other responsibilities. Like me. Anyway, they can go now. At 70. But unfortunately those little cabins are where they have to stay due to reasons that are probably glaringly obvious. But for sake of their dreams, they choose the wildest locations little cabins can be.
They are respectful of their surroundings, choosing to stay where businesses & most visitors are also respectful. Where everyone is either trying to be inclusive, or thankful for the chance to see places they otherwise would have never seen. So, there are your tourists, my friend.
While I acknowledge the problem of losing wild places, you were still able to find your wild place. Everyone should be able to enjoy them, too. Like people with limited resources, people with time constraints, & people like my parents.
Who never left traces of their campfires, btw.
So well said and so thoughtful! Thank you for remembering us older folks and what we sacrifice in our personal wishes to do what we need to do instead. We all hope to eventually get to a place/time in between when where we are responsible for our children and care givers to our parents when we can find a couple of years to have an adventure or three. The few days when that happen have been paid for by much more than the price of a cabin. just sayin'.
Now you’ve got ME in tears 🥹🩷
I’m not going to join in with the naysayers and criticisms about your comments on both wilderness and Genghis Khan. Just for the record I fully support and agree with your comments on the wilderness. Don’t know much about Kahn though. I really wanted to comment on the fire making. Using the cow dung was. excellent, and was one of the primary sources of fuel on the American Prairie when it was being settled. As forgetting it started, remember, you can always use your camp stove as a starter as well. I finally remember many many years ago, up in the northern Cascades on a hike and fishing trip. It started raining so we didn’t get a lot of fishing done and tried to start a fire instead. All the wood was rather damp, and most traditional methods were just not working. I pulled out my trusty old SVEA 123 stove (which alone will tell you how long ago that was) , Got it, started and started putting wood TP style over it. Before long, we had a roaring fire going. Pulled the stove out before anything could really happen to it, but it worked great. As I said, we didn’t get any fishing done, but we had a great time around that fire, snuggly under a big cedar tree, sheltered from the rain. I remember toasting little cubes of SPAM on a stick over that fire and whatever else we had. It was a real great adventure with fond memories. Also, you say in the title of this video that it didn’t go well. It appears it ended up very well at the end. Regardless, you will always have wonderful stories to tell about stuck in that horrendous thunderstorm. in my experience, it is when things don’t go exactly right that keep the greatest and fondest memories of adventures. Keep going lady!
I don't think she is critical about cabins, she has stayed in cabins herself in many videos. What I saw from that video, I don't think your nature loving parents would want to visit this place either. A gated community with guards and a supermarket would ward off any true nature lover
@@athundersnake she's coming across entitled and arrogant. Very sad. The video was really off ....not sure what's happening to her.
Crying about people "turning a profit on nature" while literly making bank on travelling in a poluting vehicle through that same nature....it seems very hypocritical to me.
I loved your videos but they are becoming more and more commercial and out of touch.
Eva, if you want to meet a modern day Genghis Khan, then maybe you would enjoy meeting Vladimir Putin.
Didn't Poland recently close their border to prevent that among other things?
Dear Eva,
I perceived a condescending attitude in the way that you referred to all that "touristic stuff".I understand you are an adventurous person who enjoys the wild. But, staying in one of those cabins can an adventure for a person who is doing that for the very first time.
Also, I perceived a different energy in this video, something is off. Anyway, from time to time everyone is entitled to have a break down. I wish you all the success in the running and hope you find what you are looking for in Mongolia.
The video was really off. Maybe she's having a nervous breakdown?
She has been off on all of her videos.
Yeah. I agree. For a good while now.
@@user-mq3rx4bz1n Criticism from some rando who can't even be bothered to create his own screen name. Why would anyone take you seriously?
@@cherylmay595again… worried there’s something developing and has been for some time. I prayed she would stay in one place for at least a year and commit to therapy, and reset. Connect with more people and family.
I understand what you mean by people destroying nature, but not everyone can own or borrow an offland vehicle. Not to mention, some people might not be physically able either. A lot of us want to see the beauty and enjoy it and it's easier for us to rent a cabin and enjoy it.
It’s not rogue and savage to choose to not sleep in a box in a bed. It’s a privilege.
Please correct me, this video is monetized right? So by visiting this place and showing it on your youtube channel, wouldn’t it be like you’re also treating it as a commodity?
Exactly
Please don't make so much sense. She will not like that.
Yes. You are correct.
Research the guy with dog at the beginning, research his web site , the name on the door of the 4x4 and his interviews. It will all make sense . Then research the people in the previous video .
I recently watched Eli from Russia’s Mongolian vlogs. Stark contrast. Eli is even better than Eva was years ago. Eva used to be respectful of the cultures she visited and tried to bring the people to the forefront and she was fun to watch (although a bit scripted even back then), Eva today is just someone who makes content for clicks and acts like an adrenaline junkie.
If anyone is here for the Mongolian culture and landscape this video isn’t it.
Maybe do a bit more research on Genghis Khan Eva.
IKR??
Yup
People you really didn't know that...how uncultured. Why do you think he was so close to taking over the world...was a brilliant strategist because he was balanced. I think drugs ruined these otherwise advanced brains in college. Maybe should have thought about that(how ironic)...can't grow them back now SH.
BTW wild animals have multiple fucks...modern society calls it friends with benefits.
Maybe her entire knowledge of Genghis Khan is from the song “ Genghis Khan “ lol
I like her videos a lot and following here a while. But her opinion about Gengis Khan is completely wrong. You shouldnt get your primary source of information from mongolia where he is considered an national hero.
Exactly. The Mongolians shouldn't even have that statue there anymore than should the Germans have a statue of HitIer anywhere.
@@calm713 Or Columbus in US
@@calm713 Or prophet Mohammad
Exactly. She seems to be so gullible and not questioning things. I'm surprised, I thought she was more savvy than this. More of a researcher. I guess not.
Agree 100%
I am a very avid fan but this.....feel terrible about your reaction of 1.5 usd.... u didn't know maybe it was for safety and to keep the place clean and for conservation means
She literally said it’s not bc of the tiny fee. It’s bc it’s not wild anymore. You people have obviously never been to a wilderness lake with not a soul in sight. I have found many just in the state of Montana without a soul and just discovered it on a hike. Eva was looking for nature. Not a tourist trap. Of course $1.50 is cheap. But you’re missing the point.
Genghis Khan is thought to have been responsible for the deaths of over 40 million people but hey at least he tolerated religion so yeah more men should be like him... might want to do a bit more research before making statements like that Eva.
Yeah, killing 7x more people than Hitler did can't be sugar coated.
Mamma needs sponsorship from Mongolia and what better way to get it than praising their mass murderer hero.
She has exhausted all other dictatorships and shilled for them all.
That was a shocking segment I thought. Pure ignorance and should be edited out, in my opinion. Worrying character signs
It was obvious sarcasm. Like extremely obvious.
@@ibanezrg320dx it was obvious ignorance and stupidity. Like extremely obvious.
There were 3 billion people on earth when I was born in 1960. Recently it is claimed the worldwide population crossed over 8 billion. Almost a tripling in my lifetime. Elbow room I enjoyed growing up has of course diminished. Florida has gone from 5 million to 23 million since I made my home here. As a bit of an introvert, like Eva, it does require more effort to find places off the beaten path. But I still do! and it does wonders for the soul!
Yes, my earliest recollections were in the 2+ billion range. The next time I heard it was in the 5 billion range and it's a little scary now at over 8B. Not just from the net increase but the acceleration in the increase. I'm a little worried about what my grandkids will live like.
Yep! i just posted the world is overpopulated. But hey, let's just ignore that fact.

@@michaelv2010 it was so bizarre about the energy and meditation. Something is just not right

So glad people are waking up to her absolute condescension towards many who disagree with her. Her lack of tolerance for criticism. Her flip flopping on what she wants to be 'full time traveler' or someone who wants to put down some roots and occasionally travel. I have enjoyed some of her more hard-core trek and hiking videos but when Eva goes on her 'holier than thou' diatribes on society, tourism, etc it makes me cringe. This video is another example of her using something as mundane as charging for use of a scenic space, to turn it into some nonsense on how everything is becoming commercial. Lol
True. But...
@@TheRyanadsouza she's quite manic with her flip flopping about and this crazed video really showcases her manic behavior. Really sad to see her descend this way
I think they privatized the lake to keep it serene otherwise people dump garbage and go ….this way the lake is well maintained due to funds to do so.
This whole video is like an ignorant, manic storm
I like her, she's a little nutty, but I like her. I wonder what she is promoting? I love her dog and miss seeing him in the video.
@@guinea_horn manic is the right word. She is nutty, unhinged. I like her and her videos but this one really emphasized her manic behaviors that's been happening for over a year now. Perhaps it was always there? I've just recently, in a years time, noticed her mental decline.
@@guinea_horn ignorant is also a very good word for this video.
@@cherylmay595 yeah that's why I said it
Why ignorant? Nothing she said was ignorant as far as I know.
You are so silly!!!! This is a great story of the wilderness being used to support people who might otherwise be poor. Pay the tiny fee and enjoy yourself... or go somewhere wild - the world is full of places that are wild and not commercialized.
Not a lot of those places left in the U.S. where you can drive to. I take drives around my community and get startled with housing developments going up and I live 30 miles from the largest Wilderness area outside of Alaska.
Leaving your channel. This has been coming for a while, as your privilege has become increasingly hard to witness--as many/most other commentors here have rightly reflected back to you.
Give selfless service a try. It will help clear your head of what are now embedded tendencies toward self-glorification.
@@forestshomer4043 such a good point. Turning towards service for others and looking after someone else would definitely help here. Self-absorption is so so sad

@@kcltube3 indeed, it is all part of a defence mechanism
You…really need some more education. Wishing Genghis Khan were still around? Carrying a camera on a mounted tripod around during a lightning storm (lightning rod)? Not bringing any tinder or paper to start a fire?

@@fafran6416 she needs a mental health rest and check. She can take some time off and recharge.
somebody didn't do their research before the journey
I became a big fan of NoraIy Schoenmaker (Itchy Boots) this year, partly because I really enjoyed her straightforward, honest presentation. No tricks, no manipulative thumbnails. Just a consistently good story. She really is superb. And fearless, by the way.
Before that, I used to enjoy Eva's videos but, in comparison, I realized Eva plays the drama card way too much. To the point that I wonder if it's somewhat artificial. Then I think about an Oxford accent coming out of a Polish native and a last name that's been reconfigured to look like royalty. As with some UA-camrs after a while, it's all about stoking viewer interest for monetary interests and less about the joy of telling a good story. This was really disappointing.
Read up about Max in the beginning of the video, the guy with the dog that chased him.
He works with the Mongolian tourist board( and others) , they want western tourists , they use social media and invite people to make these videos, there's been a long drive to tap into the under 40s that don't want the traditional city/beach holiday. It's the wild and be free adventure holidays now. If you search the names , the internet shall provide quite an insight. Possibly would explain this very clumsy, unnecessary ,one night stop in a dedicated protected nature reserve that does mountain biking, horse trekking , motorcycling in a loop where she actually camped . Even the Toyota Prius is parked at the shop at the campsite.
I would gladly pay $1.50 to go where you were. The place looks wonderful.
Love ya Eva, but I think your take on Genghis Khan is a bit off. Maybe find a better source than a statue of the guy in the country where he's from.
Yea, that was a strange take 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@thirdpowerful1 he wasn’t exactly the best of people 🤣
He was much less evil than portrayed, and did have some benevalent qualities -- but he was still ultimately a power-hungry warlord that did terrible things and commanded terrible things to any people or village that did not bend over and accept his rule. He was more of a live-and-let-live conquerer thatn most of that ra, so long as you accepted his absolute authoriity, and those of his conquering armies. Was difficult to hear Eva swoon over him.
It was really strange hearing Eva loving on him. Is she out of touch, delusional or what? It was very weird.
@@cherylmay595 People tend to say nice things about their ancestors even when they did bad things.

well she's sad that what should be public and accessible to everyone isn't anymore, I think that's understandable
@@Martin46154 it is public to everyone, it just needs maintaining. It's one of the most important land marks to the Mongolian people . Everyone goes there so they needed to do something .
You may be a little misled by viewing Genghis Khan through the lense of Mongolians. As a child in the 1170s, he killed his older half-brother to secure his familial position. As a young man he made war against his former ally, Jamukha. In 1209, he attacked the neighbouring Western Xia, who agreed to Mongol terms the following year. He then launched a campaign against the Jin dynasty, which lasted for four years and ended in 1215 with the capture of the Jin capital Zhongdu. He annexed the Central Asian state of Qara Khitai in 1218 then the Khwarazmian state, where he devastated the regions of Transoxiana and Khorasan and then turned west through what is Russia today and into the Middle East. He was generous and loyal to his followers, but ruthless towards his enemies. The Mongol army under Genghis killed millions of people, yet his conquests also facilitated unprecedented commercial and cultural exchange over a vast geographical area. He is remembered as a brutal tyrant in most of Asia, but modern Mongolians recognise him as the founding father of their nation.
There is always good and bad. It's problematic when the good is discounted because you don't like the bad (or the other way around). Binary choices, a prison.
To make Genghis Khan an enlightened, tolerant man is a big misunderstanding. He had the tolerance of a gangster when his victims paid him tribute, and when they did not want to pay, he simply murdered them, skipping the stage of intimidation - a horse's head in the trunk, etc. He burned and ruined many cities, but he built none.
The modern intellectual heir of Gengiz Khan's name is Vladimir and in the 21st century he tries to implement the philosophy of conquest and empire building at the expense of smaller and weaker nations. Fortunately, the latter are not as alone in the fight as Genghis's victims, and Vladimir himself is not a leader of such great caliber.
@@thomasturski2837 To compare a monarch of a thousand years ago to the norms of today is a much bigger misunderstanding.
That's just one side of story. I think Chinggis Khan /not Genghis khan/ was visionary, revolutionary true leader of mankind. he killed his older half brother by accident, not secure his position. And his friend Jamukha was greedy and betrayed him to not become the Khan of whole Mongolia. He was brutal to his enemies but also he was also free minded for religion, foreign relations and cultural exchanges. You can find that, one of his follower was Muslim and one of his adviser was Christian.
@@sapinva In term of "bigger misunderstanding", monarchs before and after Genghis Khan managed to build a castle or a temple or a city, some even several of them. Others left behind schools, madrasas or universities, and in museums we can still admire the works of art they founded.
We remember Genghis Khan only because of the millions of victims, the number of destroyed kingdoms he left behind, the record number of thousands of square kilometers he conquered and the number of women he counted - rather not because they fell in love with his beauty or intellect, but because they were forced to do so.
The Mongols can build great monuments and rave about his enlightenment and tolerance, but I will stick to my opinion that he is one of the greatest destroyers in history and therefore deserves eternal condemnation.
Eva if you feel lost, please read: Lost in the Valley of Death: A Story of Obsession and Danger in the Himalayas. Justin Alexander was so frustrated that there are no more wild places to explore in the world that he went crazy...
She is very lost
Love her enthusiasm......can't stand how she dramatizes EVERYTHING.
yeah i agree
it's giving a bit of unchecked bipolar disorder. it's ok to struggle with mental health, but im genuinely worried about her with so much restless and manic attitude with uncontrollable emotions.
So shocking the locals would want to make a little profit from their local resources
It’s not about that…it’s about the fact that in 20 years we might not be able to experience the beautiful nature around us in its raw form. In Oregon all beaches are public so you could literally walk along the coast, but in California you can buy a property with a private beach….should this be legal?! If you look at it from a different perspective, I think the government should not be selling land around the most pristine nature, it should be reserved for all public to access and admire….
@@NewAgeNewLife Yeah, just imagine the worst-case scenario...the 1% buys all the beaches...you and I would never see the ocean or be able to walk on a beach.
Probably they maintaining the area which comes with work and those people need to here paid.
I'ts not about the locals making a profit. It's about losing nature and wild untouched places to industry, capitalism and tourism. But thinking you can reach wilderness and serenity with a car is a bit strange. Where there is a road there is civilization.
@@ueberraschungstueteis Eva mission not under tourism ?
Wow total raw ignorance from Eva. i never expected this from you. Saying random things without even fact checking. Who on earth can praise Genghis Khan!! I will unsubscribe right now and hope you are come back with a sincere apology. It's okay that you made this mistake but own it and say sorry before it's too late.
Who would cry about this??? I think she is not so well. Been noticing some manic behaviour already in few videos.
I think she's stressing her body out too much, being vegan or vegetarian and pushing into extremes of weather and physical endurance relentlessly moving, changing her mind etc. it's all too much on a body and mind, especially a woman's, our hormones need checking in on and support especially when living a bit of an imbalanced lifestyle. we need deep rest and more of it than men etc. I think she likely doesn't realize how worn out she is. marathons ruin a body actually if done too much, lots of people when older talk about it who have pushed themselves too hard, people admire it too much. the body breaks
@@Jesusdonttakeitpersonally she's very manic
Yeah, she needs a freaking cheeseburger and a beer.
@@kcltube3 exactly! Poor nutrition can cause these,I mean thos sugar, cortisol spikes which totally can mess up feelings, thoughs. Muscle would need meat, a lots of meat. 2x bodyweight in gramms
@@kcltube3 being vegan or vegetarian is extremely beneficial to the body when done correctly (as in with the same care and planning you'd need to ensure ANY diet be healthy and fueling enough), so unless she isn't eating enough or has other health issues going on that should have nothing to do with whatever ...this.. is
I don’t agree with you! Giving people a stake in restoring and maintaining natural habitat will preserve the world’s wild places in the long run and provide endangered species with a second chance. Its a serious and expensive responsibility. If you ever visit the Caatinga Macaw Reserve in Bahia, Brazil, you’ll understand why. We can’t leave ecological renewal and management up to nature.
@@NormanF62 Nature doesn't need us to survive nor to regenerate nor to thrive. Nature didn't need us before we took over, nor will it after we're gone.
Exactly
Yes human assisted restoration is necessary in a places that are already degraded, but this kind of private tourist village is not going to do anything positive to the ecosystem of this place
This is why I never talk about my whereabouts in my videos or pictures from my hikes! Some places are best left alone 💖
Good to hear, I wish everyone did this. I know some amazing places in Scotland, but only tell a few friends who I can trust not to post images and locations on instgram etc. There is already far too much information about good bothies and river pools on the internet.
@@lapoguslapogus7161 yes! Where I live a lot of people don't really care about the hiking experience, only about the cool picture they get to share on Instagram. And then it's tagged for everyone to know where it is. Fast forward two years later, and the place is ruined by tourism! 🤷
In the U.S. there are 429 National Parks, 3,729 State Parks. There is public space all over the U.S. The same in many many other countries around the world copying the U.S. model. And you want to cry, over $1.50. C'mon Eva, get real, do your research before opening your mouth.
Im also finding this so hard to watch - this fence and this fee is actually preserving this area, so therefore keeping it pristine... there is a huge problem with desertification in Mongolia and overgrazing from farming too many cashmere goats - which is my business. This landscape will otherwise be exploited and its a fine line between a country wanting to progress and also protect its areas of 'attraction'.
That very same spirit that fuels your exhilaration at exploration drives the colonization waves that follow. It's a tragedy to explorers like you, but it's also what has driven human beings to be the dominant life form on the planet, constantly conquering the wilds of the world. It just means that the explorers always need to find new frontiers, and I believe it's what will eventually drive us to expand into space away from our Mother Earth.
There is an old saying: "We travel the World in Search of what we need, and return home to find it" At least get that German Shepherd a home, that is where they really want to be - take it from someone who has had them for 34 years. I guess you can't make 200K on youtube from home though... oh well.
Those fees and fences and building are mostly from the government. Government try to protect the "nature" from people who meaning to destroy forests and animals. There are some incidents past about many lakes are now destroyed by many people throwing garbages dumping wastes. If any people try to hunt or cut down trees they will be severely punished. I think a several years in prison. But i get the idea that freedom in nature. Also great video. I hope i meet you in person to have a little chat.
Is a Polish girl fascinated by Genghis Khan? I am confused.
How to make a spoon; find a proper stick. Get out your proper carry knife. Find a comfortable place with a terrific view and start carving. The spoon is in the wood. You have but to let it out. :)
Wow, Mongolia, more beautiful than I imagined.
such an awkward "Jenjis" Khan swoon! never expected to see that 😵💫
Genghis Khan "slept" with so many women, that today he has approximately 16 million male descendants. One in every 200 men today is a relative of Genghis Khan. That's some role model Eva....
Exactly. It was so strange to hear her loving him. What is up with her?
exactly. Glad that he was in the past and no longer existing today. Imagine his conquests and expansion, doubt it's all peaceful. Weird to have her idolise him.
Hitler created the autobahn and child support payments. Do we want Hitler to be alive today? Ummm neh
That's good news! Maybe she'll accept one of us, if we can prove we're descended from GK. 🥰
Imagine seeing a massive statue in Mongolia and not realising it was propaganda!
I love Eva's channel, but I am perplexed by this romanticizing of Genghis Kahn. I don't judge historic figures by today's sensibilities. I accept it, and in this, the history is well known and documented. The DNA evidence alone is undisputed.
You generally make great videos, but that "secret lake" response to the situation was extraordinary.
I'm imagining you know nothing about the circumstances of what has happened at that lake site. But you feel thwarted to be asked to pay a small fee, and then upset because you imagine that you're entitled to be there for free. It's not your country. You need to find out what has happened, why it has happened, what the benefits (or otherwise) might be to the locals, and then you can report with a proper journalistic approach. I'm afraid that was a very unimpressive attitude of yours.
Exactly. She seems to have lost her mind in this episode. She loves Genghis Kahn and then this.
Agree - I usually really like her videos, but between the reaction about the lake and complaints about industrialization while making a highly manufactured instant dinner made this hard to watch.
@@jonnydobosI agree. It was a very off video in so many ways
I like Eva's videos generally. I admire that she's feisty and gutsy and plunges into adventures which are good to watch. But unless someone can find out the reality, what has happened at that lake might be the Mongolian equivalent of a gated retirement community! Perhaps people give up all that they have owned in order to get a cabin in a secure place living alongside people in a similar situation. Yes, there would be commercialism involved, but perhaps folks get something in return. It could make for a good bit of journalism. But not tears, Eva, surely?
@@jonnydobos Not to mention this on the heels of complaining about commercialization and convenience, as she drives a highly manufactured and breathtakingly convenient 4-wheel drive camping truck to the site. But I do feel bad that she's having to really rough it with no spoon. Savage.
Ooofff, Eva. I think you might want to do some research on Khan, god damn.
Maybe you can listen to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History called “Wrath of the Khans” for more education on Gengis Khan… With respect ❤
I’m sorry but you crying over the privatisation of the lake was not good. You travel to these places and get paid to show them to hundreds of thousands of people then cry when someone charges to keep the place clean and safe and comfortable for the thousands of people who go to the places you got paid to show us. Stop already
I think it's state owned . It's a campsite for everyone. Mongolia is 99% empty and the campsite is on Google . Nothing about the Mongolian people or culture either.
@officialEvazuBeckes Stupid scambot can't even speak proper English

You sound, to me, like someone who has lived a boring life and is jealous of her lifestyle. Maybe you need some counseling.
Completely agree
You are being ridiculous. Did you not notice how well kept this beautiful wilderness is? These people obviously cherish this lake and wilderness. Just not the way ‘YOU’ want them too. Here is an idea …… you take the responsibility and care for this land you profess to cherish so much?

Enough with crying for likes and shares.
No one disrespects the Eva! Infidel!
Not sure where you got your facts on Chingis Khan but very off. Just because he allowed religious freedom doesn’t mean he didn’t slaughter countless number people. During his reign carbon emission levels actually declined because his armies killed so many people. Also feels a bit entitled to think you would have this lake all to yourself
Your carbon emissions statement is hilarious, not only that you believe it, but that you repeat it.
Next tell us all about the efficacy of carbon recapture...
Since when is religion about freedom? Sounds more like restricting compliance to me.
@@robertholland7558 it just means he allowed people to practice diff religions and not be forced to convert under his empire. Nothing to do with religion itself. But that still didn’t mean they were free to do whatever.
Agreed, very strange exaltation.

I was not there but it seems totally reasonable and necessary to charge an entrance if fee. If you dont charge, then how do you make sure the place stays in a good shape.

Also, fawning over tyrant? Really?!
To admire someone who killed around 40 Million people is a bit odd I found, in my book to kill one person is a big no no. I agree with
@malcoski comment , not having been there myself but I do know its as big as Alaska and only has about 3.5 million people so its big and empty.
Yeah. No spoon ...
In the Marines guys would eat with different utensils. Mostly plastic but they might have one metal one.
The thing is - one utensil was about all they really wanted to carry around when they were living in a hole in the ground.
Different guys used different things.
Spoons were popular and some guys - not many but some - cut tangs into the front to make Sporks.
The guys who used Forks - would spear the solid food or lift it out - then - drink the liquid from the container.
Lots of guys used Knives. They already had knives or bayonets - so this wasn't an extra thing they had to carry around.
Like the guys with Forks - they'd spear the food or drink it.
Oh - and part of the problem with carrying the thing around - was losing it ... Since the knife or bayonet was already attached to their gear - it was harder to lose than something that might fall out of a pocket.
As to Genghis Khan ...
Yes - once the Mongols had conquered some place and were administering it - that was one thing.
Conquering it was another.
The Standard Mongol approach was to come to a City and tell it that if it didn't surrender - they'd kill every man, woman and child in the place - then stack their skulls in a mount outside it. If the City resisted - that's what they did.
The reason that did that was so the next City would surrender. If they gave in - they became part of the Mongols lands and things weren't so bad - not that they were good.
The person today who most reminds me of Genghis Khan - would be Putin.
As to who you heard he was such a great guy from - well - of course the Mongols think he was a great guy.

@@BobSmith-dk8nw Lighten up.
If you think about it, if you can drive there on a road it’s not really that remote.
You should have paid the small fee so we could have at least seen the lake. And, who knows, maybe it was privatized or nationalized (like our US National & state parks) in an attempt to save the pristineness. And, a small fee charged to help maintain it. As they say, never assume. You probably missed a rare opportunity to see an amazing piece of nature.😢
@@wtpwtp exactly
Ewa, sorry to say it, but You live in the bubble, and it;s soooo wird becauce You travel a lot, and still one video after another I just see you are not interested in what is happening in the world, and how it works, and why it works like that. You have choosen destination without reading about it at all. How I know that? Because one check on google maps gave me informations that it's not a place where you will not find anyone. There is a lot of signs about it in 300m cirkle around that lake. You traveler with such huge experience I would say it si wird You did not made a proper research...Same with the storm, you really did went in the middle of nowhere without any information if that night will be calm?
She was 1 km away from one of the campsites where she "wild" camped. It is strange why she didn't know it was a tourist area , it's all over Google and you can see from Google maps the huts and yurts. The lake is state owned and being looked after. Mongolia is 99 % empty.
How on earth can you have that view on Genghis Khan. Mass raper, slaver and warlord, who subjected millions to abject suffering and unimaginable pain.
Your "take" is well off the mark.😊😊
Do some research.
Have you lost your mind, my dear young lady? Your admiration of GK is surprising. Have you done any research on his activities? Retraction perhaps?
Ever since Eva cheated on Odyssey things have gone tits up!😂
The crying was melodramatic and bizarre.
It is what she lives for 😂
I’ve noticed she does have a tendency to cry and it is a bit concerning. I get the sense she’s maybe depressed or lonely or gets overwhelmed with the lifestyle she’s chosen and trying to make sense of it. I do think it’s a bit manipulative however to use for views or frame it as some kind of ecological response to privitisation.
Eva if you stand anywhere in the world and walk 70 miles in any direction you will come upon forests and open fields. Its up to you how you want to look at that. 5% of the mammals on the planet from the mouse to the elephant is whats left of wild life the other 95% of mammals is the meet we eat, 75% of the birds is what we eat while the remaining 25% is the wild birds. we are truly surpassing the biggest extinction event that wiped the dinosours out. And heres me watching you smiling at the camera while we are almost finnished.
Rogue and Savage? Reminds me of a neighborhood cat I dubbed "Kitty Cat" that became quite attached to me. (Of course, I fed it regularly.) Sometimes he'd curl up in my lap and purr himself to sleep. But sometimes I found him sleeping in seemingly rather awkward positions. For example, I once found him sleeping on the bare ground with his head leaning against the corner edge of concrete pavement. Now how comfortable is that? Almost as if he was saying "I don't need no pillow!" But I'm afraid I did not "spoil" him enough. He was sometimes frustrating and mischievous in various ways. Once, when I arrived home tired and weary during a heavy rainstorm, he was very eager to dash into the house with me, but I was just too exhausted to pay attention to his needs at the time, and so I blocked his access to my doorway. I've always felt a tinge of regret for doing that.
Someone have to take care the wilderness.. so don't have to be selfish pay the little fee and enjoy the safety and cleanliness the park could provide.
It didint look like a National Park type a thing where the fee would actually go to maintaining the healthy ecosystem but a private turist village where the profit goes to the owner of the land. There is a huge difference
What do mean by "take care of the wilderness"? Clean up people's garbage? I mean other than that the wilderness should take care of itself :)
Mongolia is so beautiful... The storm that you got stuck remembered me of the one I encountered in Iceland.... It was chill, windy like hell and was pouring... The roof-top tent acted as if it were sail of a boat. The car was literally rocking because of the heavy storm... Aaand my roof-top tent zipper failed... It was a terrifying experience.... I'm glad that you managed it really well.. Take care!!
Love most of your channel content young lady! But I have to say your view point in this one was definitely DISAPPOINTING! Sorry!!! For someone who tries to make life less complicated you have managed to make it so! 🤷🏻♂️🫶🏻
It is very different now. Next time, travel by horseback and pack mule. No hi-tech truck. Stay in the tent, don't retreat to the truck.
Love your videos! Also, as mentioned by some other commenters: your take on Ghenghis Khan might not have been the most informed one. Mistakes happen to the best of us! Might be good to do a bit more research before stating such positive things about a historical figure with a very controversial past
I haven't commented on UA-cam before, but I feel compelled to share my thoughts. As a Mongolian, I often look forward to travel vlogs about Mongolia, since it's a different perspective on my home country. However, this video has greatly upset me. You took a commercial flight to Mongolia, contributing to carbon monoxide emissions that are harming our planet and causing climate change. You complain about urbanization ruining our 'ancestral home', yet you drive a car and camp in our wilderness, which you say needs to be protected. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Why can't you stay at designated campsites and hostels, thus supporting the local economy? Why do you need the 'real experience' to camp in the wilderness? You can go do that in your home country. If you've been to Mongolia multiple times, why don't we see you actually conversing and making connections with local Mongolians? Instead of throwing a tantrum at the sight of a fenced-off lake, you could have asked the locals and understood the reason. Better yet, if you wanted the 'real experience,' offer your help to a Mongolian family and work on a Mongolian homestead for two weeks. This will give you a better understanding of the country you're visiting. And please do not romanticize Mongolia, I know it's beautiful, but we are a land and people with our own thoughts, opinions, and problems like any other country. As a travel vlogger, please do better and educate yourself before going to another person's home.
Brilliant comment. Something is very wrong with Eva in this video. She needs to grow up and apologise
