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!

Hi Lars, gave it a try and after much coaxing my mother-inlaw touched the water, now she is gone but the pipes are thawed.
2 birds with 1 stone, only I now need a good lawyer.
Plumber in Canada here. That's a good one, Lars.
Nice house you are building there !!!
Hello from Michigan USA! I've seen a welder used to thaw copper pipe before when I was a kid. My basement is built so that enough warmth from the ground comes through to keep my pump and pipes from freezing up. I've also used electric heat tape and insulation when I lived in a trailer. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance.
Oddly enough, I have heard of both of these ways of doing it, but never actually seen them (welder or electrical drain snake) used. I know if you remove either side of the line, and hook up only one side (say the common, doesn't matter), then attach it to a car antenna...you make a worm rod (for catching worms for fishing). They pop right up out of the ground. Nightcrawler shopping.
Great tutorial! I'm going to build one and keep it on hand in my bus conversion. It got to -46c for a day and my waterline in one low area froze up. Appreciate the well-timed information. Cheers!
Stay warm!
I bet the same principals would apply to the government. Resistance would actually force them to get the work done. If not, a short would bring the process to a halt. I want to be the guy that inserts the probe. Keep safe Lars.
Best reply on here!
Hello there guys,, another Auuusome video
Thanks Lars, I'll try that.
Hi Lars, liked your 'angry electrons'!
Comment for the algorithm
Comment comment.
Thank you , Lars .
🐺 LC .
You are the second person iv ever seen make one of these, my grandfather was the first iv seen this from, definitely works. Yall stay warm.
Interesting,and well explained Lars.
Good bit of innovation.... "Neccesity is the mother of all invention"
Long time subscriber great content keep up the great work Lars!! Canada
Hail the algorithm!
I admire the carpentry of the food support pillar. ;)
As the first person to actually WATCH the video and comment, thank you for this useful bit of knowledge.
I'm not sure, because I don't do weird French satan-math, but it looks to be about 14 gauge wire.
Or not...someone will inevitably let us know,
Thanks for sharing
Excellent tip for plastic lines! Thanks so much for the great video!
You're very welcome!
Stay warm.
Good informational video Lars , thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
Thank you brother Mike. Have a great weekend!
Useful
This is awesome indeed
Over sheathed and insulated home electrical wire is refered to as Romex.
Non braided= solid copper wire.
Run thru a circuit breaker.
Great improvised drain snake heater...
Maybe a ceramic shield with a space over the "heater" would work.....but I too would just stay away from any metal pipe with it. ⚡
Best Wishes Lars..🤠
Awesome Watch mate
Thanks 👍
Thanks Lars, I learned something useful today👍🙏🏻
A plumber friend told me years ago that he hooked up an Arc Welder to old Galvanized water line under a house & said the pipes were glowing red, he said bad idea for copper as it would melt the solder. I point my kerosene heater at my crawl space and pipes thaw quickly... thx Lars, great tip !
LOL 🤣🤣 As a welder that has done that a dozen times at least, why in the world would you leave it on so long, and the amps on any welder are 100% controllable? 🤦
@@jay90374 How long do you keep it on? Thx
@@MaximusMerideus until the water flows again
@@jay90374 Happened a long time ago , he didn't say how long it took for them to get red hot... how would he know how long?
Классно! Я дважды попадал в такую же ситуацию за 15 лет как построил дом. Непременно бы попробовал такое устройство, если бы узнал о нем раньше, а может и попробую еще. К счастью, оба раза оттепели решали проблему быстрее, чем я успевал впасть в панику.
Lars, we call it ROMEX wire. 15 amp wire is 14 gauge, 20 amps 12 gauge and so forth. We have for example 12/2 with a ground so that’s 12 guage wire, a black is hot, white is neutral, bare wire is ground.
Lars wouldn't a handful of salt mixed with the water help conduct the electric current better thus heating it up faster? Just a thought! I believe the frost line in the ground were I live in Kentucky is about 32 inches deep so we have to bury our water pipes to at least that level underground to keep them from freezing then of course the lines above that have to be provided with some kind of heat source or insulation or both! I assume the frostline were you're at goes deeper or it's permafrost "froze all the time" at a certain depth.. Russian ingenuity never ceases to amaze me!
Cool fix👍
Necessity...the mother of invention.
Thanks
and, I can use to heat up my cup of coffee....might want to clean it first.
Hi Lars looks like a good video coming up
Hope so!
👍👍👍👍👍
Wish I could say I thought this would be useful, but I live in a rain forest and drains don't freeze here. my neighbours pressure lines froze this week as they were shamefully installed. a hair dryer fixed that. denial works most of the time here.
Very cool idea though thanks Lars.
Hello good evening 👍👋
Good evening Leo! Good to see you as always.
Hello again Lars
Hello Bull!
No smoking near the gas output either
Those bubbles, that's Brown Gas mixture, Hydrogen and Oxygen
That was a useful piece of information. Thank you.
Светлого вам Крещенского дня из Србии.
Very cool brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventures through the woods and GOD-BLESS
My pleasure!
Nice video 😗 From Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I did not see any videos of the building of your new home since you made the foundation. It is looking good. As for your improvised pipe defroster, could you not put electricians tape over the coils, of course allowing space for water to enter, but insulating them from copper pipe, to use in metal pipes?
Bla bla bla Survival Russia is doing lots of awesome levels of awesome things!!! Which is of course awesome.
Good survival story
Thanks very much for the tutorial. If I had a husband to do important things like these, my life would be much easier) But now I have to study how to deal with that on my own, because I'm planning to live at my dacha next winter.
You’re welcome 😊
As a Canadian, I wish I'd have known about this years ago.
Maybe give a little warning on the bubbles being created consists of hydrogen and oxygen which will make for a boom and/or fire if ignited by say .. an electrical spark !
Lars, we should have known you would know how to defrost a pipe living there. Enjoy your videos
Thank you Lars. Such a good idea😂.
hey man thats col thank you for sharing
When the septic is plugged mama ain’t happy and when mama ain’t happy then nobody’s happy! This is the motivation for all sorts of ingenious inventions!😂
From suicide showerhead to suicide frost pipe removal.
what suicide showerhead video?
Stay save guys, when playing with electricity.
Hi Lars, been a long time subscriber. This is very dangerous. People who don't know electricity are going to zap themselves :😂😂
I had an exposed p-trap for a bathtub that froze up once. To get it unplugged I used a funnel and some plastic hose attached to the funnel. I put the hose down the drain and poured boiling water into the funnel. The hose guided the hot water straight to the ice blockage and melted it away very quickly.
Dont try this if your water pipes are properly grounded.
Please explain. I'm interested but don't have the background see why.
I said in the video that you should NOT do this with metal pipes. It will short circuit the two windings.
Without earth or proper ground it can sting the user. The defrosting/heat part is coming from the fact you are basically making a short circuit.
Kind of a "controlled" short circuit, as I said. The water works as a resistor between the two windings.@@jeffreyverheij6745
the bare wires . Its dangerous anyway but if your pipes are earthed properly it will just blow your rcds@@bensigl3766
Thanks for the info Lars. Is that a surplus jacket?
No, it's a proto-type we made ourselves for our own SR brand :) It's solid. So far it have made it +1 year being used by me, a lot!
Looks comfy thanks @@SurvivalRussia
Backyard mechanics as we say here, got a problem find a solution and this looks a fun solution :).
Would this also work if someone was extremely constipated?
Asking for a friend
RoaR
Add salt to the water if you want it to heat faster when you use this method of heat for cooking.
Lars, will we be seeing a review video of your Casio Protrek series watch? If not, what is the model type. I am using a Garmin Instinct daily but also collect all sorts of Watches.
Will do! Perhaps even tomorrow. I have been wanting to do a video on for a long time.
Seems the RCD would trip in milliseconds.
With metal pipe, we use a welder.
Noice, thought and question :) if you want to use in a metal tube can you use a wider rigid pipe/sleave as a collar over the exposed wire (still letting water inside)?. How do you plug the hole in the tube you shown to stop water leaking back through later?
I don't know about the sleeve. I will use some epoxy glue for the hole.
What do you think it's drawing? Have you measured with a clamp ammeter? I'm curious because 32 amps like you said is much more than it would use, But it would be based on the capacity of the wire and the resistance of the water in that 2 cm gap no? Great video though This is good for an emergency situation, Even if it is rather dangerous.
No I have not measured it, but it's much slower than a electric "kettle." They boil the same amount of water faster. The 32 amp breaker was the only one I had which is not in use. I would guess it draws 2-5 amps or so. The breaker is just there in case of short circuit. I of course have other breakers "behind" that setup.
Good advice for most folks Lars, not me. I used to make these in prison years ago to boil the water in my cell. 2 matches, 2 razor blades, and 2 bed springs. Plug it in boil the kettle. 🤣 Mind you if a person does not know what the hell they are doing? That could be a 1 way ticket to a morgue.
Take care, stay safe, and warm.
The prisoners in the Soviet Union also used razor blades to boil water with.
@@SurvivalRussia One has to do, what one has to do Lars. BTW it was 37c here today, humidity was down to 38%, we have been having crazy weather here, 27c & 94% at 3 am.. O.o
This is a smartidea, but it strikes me as extremely dangerous. You've basically got mains voltage exposed on those wires, and you're putting it into a water pipe? I get that the relay makes it safer, but how much safer?
Put your bicycle helmet on.
?@@staszekgolab9319
Another great idea from Survivor Russia thanks. I bet if you added a little salt to that water it would speed up the process!
A friend of mine has an old electric machine that you hook onto both ends of a metal pipe and turn the dial and it electrifies the pipe like a heating element and melts out the ice but it's not terribly safe and it emits an evil Buzz..
Is it an arc welder?
@@MaximusMerideus no it was specifically made for thawing out pipes but I think the general idea was the same.
Controlled short circuit, it's the same idea as the old electric kettles. Except they would go bang without water. What voltage are you using in Russia?
230V
@@SurvivalRussia excellent, then this will easily work in Australia. Something to keep in mind.
Same idea in prison for heating water for coffee..aka "stinger","dunker","bug" etc.....
Cool device! What voltage is it and AC or Dc? Do you have something taped to the wire?
Just straight 220V.
Survival Russia electric shower
Lebensgefährlich
Only if you touch the water...
Very interesting. I wanted to ask again will your house have an open floor plan or will you eventually divide it up into rooms?
It will have room divisions.
Handy device but, this should only be attempted by people who are comfortable working with mains power. Otherwise it is a bit unforgiving.
I wondered why I wasn't getting any videos from you,turns out UA-cam unsubscribed me
Hey Lars, I have a completely off topic question for you. I purchased one of the three piece Russian canteen kits but I can't seem to get the preservative smell out of it. Kinda smells like kerosene. Do you have any suggestions'? Thanks so much and take care,
I guess it's the brown "Cosmoline: stuff? I just boiled water in my mess kit, in order to get it out. Try and use some steel wool /Scotch Brite and dish washing liquid. Scrub and boil water in it. If does not help, then repeat and/or try to boil some tea in as well. The acid in the tea will help. the Soviets used this stuff on everything! From firearms to canteens lol
There's a lot can go wrong especially if a man is working alone. I would say you need a second man watching to shut things off if needed in case of accident.
People in prison have tricks like that to boil water. Called a Stinger I think.
In Russia they use two razor blades for that.
Hej Lars du skal have sat en ventilator op over din brændeovn ... så den kan sprede varmen bedre jeg har selv en som din vis det samme model en Bullerjan en lille model
God ide! Mange tak.

Hej Lars
Tror du folk kan hantera sån här information?
Kram
Jeg er ikke sikker lol
О!Бурбулятор!Последний раз пользовался на ..кхм..больнице,банку чая кипятил.Только бритвенные лезвия со спичками меж ними были оголенной частью,ну и разумеется без УЗО и вилки,только хард-кор,оголённые провода 2-го конца провода в розетку.Эх,ностальгия..
Вы уверены, что это было в больнице?)))))
120 V Ac or 240 V Ac?
230V AC is the standard in Europe.
We call water from the drain, "grey water."
That is a homemade stinger.
There is no way my power company would supply electricity generator to deal with electricity outage. Its not even practical in cities. For isolated dwellings its doable but again where I am, I am sure the power companies have some clause to avoid responsibility.
Yeah but there could be life and death repercussions if they lose power in Siberia
For smokers this is very dangerous, generated h2 can be buuum
Simply shocking

YOU are DANISH. I am sitting here polishing a custom-forged knife made by a Danish blacksmith--Philip Lufolk. I have already purchased knives you have shown that were made for me by Native Siberean People. Anyway, this knife is based on an archeological Danish pattern. And I have a DNA test showing that my ancestors were 12% Nordic people.
That's awesome James. Congratulations!
Just for algorithm... He said war in Ukraine?! Whoopsie!
Thanks for the algo comment. Nothing wrong with saying "the war in Ukraine." It smells and looks like a war. Vietnam was also a Special Military Operation, in international legal terms
