The Survival Russia Channel is about "The Reality Of Survival". I live on a Homestead in far away Russian wild nature. Here is no room for "TV" Survival.
Only Reality counts here. Survival Russia promotes the philosophy of always carrying equipment and never to be parted from equipment which will affect chances of Survival.
So did the old timers and pioneers of both the East and the West.

Always giving us new advice and techniques.. You never regurgitate so called bushcraft knowledge we've all seen a thousand times like all the other channels do .. Big Respect Lars
Thanks a lot :)
They always say that grandmother really does know best...and of course it's true. Mind you, there's a tremendous amount of things one can do with a lemon and with it being packed with vitamin C and is also alkaline and not acidic as most people assume, it's everyone's best friend. Thanks for sharing, Lars. Take care...
Add a little sugar and water for "combat lemonade."
And add a bit of stolly.Or any vodka.
Andrew Montgomery OPA!
@Kristy N Chuck Henderson why “combat lemonade”?
This is a first for me: a video about a hack that I actually already knew! My grandad used to swear by lemons and told me when he was in the Marines most of his fellow soldi.... Whoops, he'd slap me for saying that, lol. I mean most of his fellow Marines would use lemons on their boots too.
Lemons have some amazing 'off scrip' uses. They are also effective against cockroaches and fleas: Mix the juice of 4 lemons (along with the rinds) with 1/2 gallon (2 litres) water and wash your floors with it. Fleas especially hate the stuff.
hey... You should turn one of your star wars silo into little bbq room/salon/food drying room. it looks like a perfect set up for family picnic/extra play room.
it has so much fun potential.
Lars, I just came hom from a 1 week trip and we had a apocalypse of mud and rain and 2 pairs of Bundeswehr boots are so full of mud, I am really glad you made this video just in time so I can check out your trick! I am positive it will work but you will hear from me either way. :) Thanks man for helping all of us out whose boots are not for fashion but for usage. :)
That sounds like an interesting trip. It have also been very wet here! I am looking forward to hear what you think :)
Nice to hear Mrs SR's voice
I've never seen some of the hacks you do before that was way better than having to scrub the boot down to the point of reference dying it and having to start all over from boot camp days of new issue.
Lemons work great also after you're done working on the car, so your hands will not smell too oily.
Brilliant, cheers Lars. My paternal Grandmother used to talk about using vinegar (acid) on brown paper for the same thing and I had forgotten about it until I had seen this. Please show another video about how you would treat the boots to make them waterproof. ATB from Geoff in the UK.
Once again Lars shows an old dog a new trick. I'm trying this one for sure, thank you sir.
you have no idea how much i appreciate this info. i have been doing it the hard way for years with saddle soap, that doesn't touch the really bad stuff.
My pleasure buddy :)
Me too. Now i know lemons are much better! Thank you @survivalrussia
A most excellent boot cleaning hack! Thank you Lars... and here I was believing that I knew all of the quick ways to clean boots! I am glad that your family made it safely home, and I am looking forward to seeing your videos when the weather decides to let you back out into the forest. Take care my friend!
Munro
I love these type of "hacks", this knowledge will be passed on. Thanks for the info my friend, looking forward to the SRV update! Have a great rest of the week!
Exactly what I needed.. thanks from Brisbane Australia 🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
That Gaz 69 is the model you should have got Lars! LOL. I personally love those old Russian Jeeps. Wow, that lemon method is really effective! I am definitely trying that out on my boots.
After the citrus cleaning... some warm lemon juice and beeswax mixed combination is often just as effective penetration and conditioner as beeswax rubbed in pre-heat/post-heat applications.
Thank you for the info :)
Nice hack. They probably need some good leather treatment like dubbin or other leather oil. Nice background
Great info again Lars...i bought some wool sweaters based on your cold weather layering video, and i was the warmest, coziest person walking my dog all last winter. My dog appreciated it too because he got to go on more walks, and longer walks. Thanks again ;)
Awesome. I think lemon has a lot of natural oils in it too. Bonus!
very good video , in Kansas we would have to watch out for rattlesnake in the high grass
Good for getting burn marks out of mess tins too.
Thank you! :)
Finally one video with no dislikes.... how can you dislike survival russia?
Dang! It worked. Thanks brother. Now I know how I'm going to clean my church boots!
Hello Lars. Great idea. Works great! I wear my Siberian Summer Hunter boots a lot also. Great boots.
Brilliant .... would have been nicer to know 20 years ago ... but still Brilliant!
Excellent video Lars! I can't say I knew this. The LORD GOD almighty has blessed you with some interesting knowledge. Take care, I am lookimg forward to the next one and keep you in my prayers.
Thanks heaps, was using dish detergent previously but took the polish off
Never thought of that! I know when I peel an orange, it will clean my hands really well!
Mine also I do miss her so ! And boots are a god sent yea great boots hard to keep them in great condition !
Best tip ever.
Anybody notice there has been a lack of adds/commercials lately?(last couple of videos...) oh & God Bless You Mrs. Survival Russia ;-)
That does not sound too awesome.. No adds?? Thank you buddy :) Have a great weekend!
I never thought to use Lemon on leather. I've used it to clean glass for many years.
Oh, rain. In my area, we've had rain nearly every day for about two months now. It's irritating as hell because I have a fairly nice pickup truck I'd like to finish and start driving. But, since I have no sort of garage to work in, it must wait.
Now, that sucks Kevin!
Im from Eastern Poland and my grandma hack is to use dry, hard bread to clean boots. It wont scratch.
Going to have to try that. Thanks. BTW: The Pink Troll needs a dog!
Thanks Lars ,
Thanks troops.
Helped with the tea & toast this morning :)
My new favourite channel!!!!
Thank you :)
very good!! thank you!
Bless you. (the sneeze) Thanks for the great tip.
This green car look really nice.
Nice. I'll have to give this one a go.
Lars-what a lemon! That lemon looks great, much better than easily available water! Can you tell me which tree that grows in the northern hemisphere , taiga (boreal forest), I can collect these lemons from? Do you also eat them after to get extra vitamin C?
Thanks Lars.
Thanks! I'll try this.
Brilliant Lars, will certainly be putting this to good use!!! Cheers :-)
Great boot cleaning hack.
sugar mixed with washing up liquid is a great hand cleaner I am guessing if you dipped a cut lemon into the mixture you would have a heavy duty food safe cleaning agent with the lemon as the applicator.
Very interesting. I will try that out today.
You have a great channel Lars thanks for posting lots of interesting videos.
Another good and informative video. Thank you.
I like the addition of "Do something awesome"
Great video and excellent work Lars.
Holy lemon cleaner , I wonder if it works on winter boots with rod salt on them ? Very nice keep up with Russian tricks Lars and what about my question of road salt on boots if you know please and thank you that is
You are a wealth of information Lars, thank you~
Thanks for this video! Greetings from Switzerland!
Great tip Lars
That is good to know! Now, just time rub in some waterproofing and polish...
This is very useful tip, and i got boots that looks like those siberian hunter boots from my grand father, also wanna know what is this structure in the background
I'll have to try that with my ancient Magnum boots, also a bit of grip-fill to stop the soles falling off probably...
Awesome video thanks Lars!
"Blah, blah, blah... enough of that". Lol. Cut to the chase. Love it. (y)
Awesome video as always Lars!
Nice use for a lemon. Nifty little fruits.
Those Russian military boots look nice. Do you know of anywhere to get them? Are they on the glorious Varusteleka? XP
Always best to keep your boots clean. Leaving all that mud and whatnot on then will break down the leather and whatnot. I pretty much always clean my boots with one of those Swiss shoe care sets from Varusteleka. Not sure if they still sell them, though. Definitely worth the money.
Amazing tip Lars!! Thanks!!
My Old Man used to say the best way to stretch new leather boots was to soak them in urine. Not a fan of doing it that way personally.
That is actually true :)
Have done this many times ,
lavender furniture wax for after , seal and smell, boosh jobs a good un, :-) .
BlasterForge a Water Ethanol mixture does the job too
+Loupis Canis
USUBBED Christian Vikernes!! Because the way he handles the Golden Gay is too weak too sissy and too christian!! indeed he promotes and endorses a kind of christianity when he said paganism is just christianity with some jewish addings like the internationalism (see his video of Catholics). It is not: Killing, looting, slaving the weak ones and having whores are something good something antichristian like Cesar Borgia. And "golden gay" has no class no nobility and Varg's getting old & tired. So fuck him and his ridiculous low IQ fans like
survivethejive which is a domesticated cunt trained by jesuit outlets like he's not smart at all. 'its' parents must be human waste too.
BlasterForge Completely true mate. In fact, you may have heard the expression 'can't even a afford a pot to piss in'. The origin of that expression was from leather companies who back in the olden days would actually purchase urine from people. A lot of very poor people would supplement their meagre income by providing their urine. This was usually done in a pot.But if you were REALLY poor, then you couldn't even afford a 'pot to piss in'.
:-)
Lars: How are the pull-on boots supposed to fit? What I mean is: are they supposed to slip up & down while walking? I always had that experience when wearing wellingtons in America & figured they'd give me blisters on walks or runs that weren't very short.
Wow! That would be so AWESOME if you had to feed the Hogs and Chickens and anything else that has some Poop around them! Should take the Smell right out! Thanks for sharing your Grandmother's knowledge with us! More Please!
Another great show man!
This is an awesome Life Hack
Ace info Lars. Cheers
Great video thanks!
That's awesome man thanks
great hack, thanks!
Works good.
Useful!!! 👍🏻
Very :)
Logica Redux Redux who's gluteus have you been kicking now. Not another one of H.H. I'm thinking about converting a few old PRR cars to steel campers that have about ten miles of service track untouched for 50 years that go with the deal. I need a tender, which just happens to be up in St. John Nova Scotia. (It's an 0-4-2 oiler that worked the gantries in Bay of Fundy.) All within 4 K of the Old Lincoln Highway.
Fred Thorne - Fred! How have you been old son! Nah. I don't kick butt. I'm a man of peace! 🙄 Usually because it's my butt that gets kicked! So what's this idea? Convert RR cars into campers? Like a resort idea? Sounds interesting! Do tell more!
Logica Redux - It's a long shot. Since I've seen every specialist from Endocrinologist, Telemetrist, both magnetic to virtual tomographic blah, blah, blah... I was talking with this saw-bones who want's his kid to take over his practrice ($$$) The kid's not biting though. This vascular guy picked up an abandoned mining town in Central, Northwestern, Pennsyork as a port folio stuffer.The problem is it's cheap as in a tapped out vein but still has some infrastructure (I take that as it sounds). Somewhere around Cattle's, and Blue Knobs. Says, he'd entertain "serious" terms. Well, I'm "seriously under-funded" So right now it looks like a "Red Herring." As a salt would say. Gotta love a lubber.
Fred Thorne - All I can say to this is to be sure you will love this before you commit to it. Otherwise you will regret it. If you will, then go for it! Long shot or not! Keep me posted. BTW, have there been any more "beached whale" sightings on the Jersey Shore lately? 😄

Survival Russia I honestly think your subs, at their previous growth rate should have been at 102K..... UA-camry is afoot.
"Awesome Find" and "Axe Restoration" were museum classics. Come on Tube, even a Neanderthal would love that combo.
Hey Lars, Did it rain so hard that all the flies and mosquitoes drowned?
Easy!!
Do you need to follow up with any kind of leather conditioner after using lemon? Way i've always done it was saddle soap and water and a conditioner afterward.
thanks for the tip, i'll try it out this summer.
You surely need to grease up/polish the boots afterwards :)
I use normal soap and water and an old toothbrush (to clean out places difficult to reach). Using some kind of conditioner is important because I believe that soap isn't good for the leather because it's a caustic. And lemon acid isn't good too.
Hay Lars grate idea, love this post as I was drinking a Yuengling at the time.
If you didn't wear high boots, would you use split leather boots like Belleville 590 in such terrain?
I mostly use my leather boots around the Homestead here. In the forest and such I almost always use some type of rubber boots. It's the only thing that really works around here, when it's not winter :) I don't know the 590 boots, but I see they have what looks to be drain holes. That would be useful here :)
Aren't rubber boots too hot? or it's ok with the footwraps
That's new one for this old fart will give it a try at end of winter. Happy trails
i'd liked to have known that while i was in basic lol cool trick Lars
: ))
Bless you!
Bless you too friend :)
You´d think the sugar in the lemon makes the leather sticky when it dries?
what is that building in the background? it looks like igloo, but concrete.
man i wish i could buy those siberian boots here in kansas!!
You can buy them online from the maker. Less the 100 bucks hand-made in Siberia. Keep an eye out for the next Hunter boot video. They have made a new model :)
Pineapple for jungle boots????
That might works actually. Pineapple contains a lot of enzymes and "stuff' :)
Awesome Lars, this will kick the dirt out of my boot's!
Fairys do it also? ;'-)
Maybe, but then your boots will be wet ;)
So the citric acid /limonene doesn't 'stiffen' the 'modified' collagen in the leather? The acid doesn't stiffen the leather... reduce flexibility, promote splitting/ cracking at stress points/folds etc? Thanks.
Not if you remember to apply leather care to the boots afterwards. This is just for cleaning.
Thank you for the clarification. One must treat one's footwear with respect. ATB
Have you done a review of the russian non-membranne army boots? I would greatly appreciate it!
I have not done a review on them, but they are great boots :)
Very interesting mate, does the acid effect the leather over time? and does the Lemon smell affect your hunting or that goes the moment you step in a puddle, lol, sorry to ask stupid questions but as i have a huge sodding lemon tree this is a hack i can really use but i also hunt like a mad man. 😜 Cheers ears. ATB Moose.
Hi Lars, nice Videos. I've a Question: What Kind of Building is the strange one behind that cars?
Regards from Germany,
Robin
......lemon oil !
Was that an angel voice I heard is that the big pink troll if it is hello there big pink troll from Detroit Michigan
Hello! Actually the laced boots are quite awesome! Any advice to find some / have some shipped to Western Europe?
Here's the website en.faradei.ru/ It's a major army contractor. Click on "Military Shoes". It's model 449 as far as I remember, bur there are variations of the boot too.
Food is just chemicals eat or used to clean
What jacket are you wearing? You seem to use it often.
Well Lars, as interesting as this video is, I won't be using it and I'm betting that there will be a few rather pished off Mothers and Wives when they find that their Son's & Husbands have taken the last Lemons to clean their boots with!
Surely, out there in Siberia where I doubt any Lemons grow other than in a super Grenhouse, there must be better uses for them? I'm old school insofar as water a cloth and a small toothbrush does enough to remove the caked on mud I get here in Bulgaria during the winter. You on the other hand, spend most of your year in snow and the other few months in baking hot temperatures (not counting this summer) and always have streams, rivers and ponds/lakes so no shortage of ''natural'' cleaning materials.
I am of the opinion that prevention is better than cure and preparing your boots correctly with the available polishes and creams will deter mud and dirt sticking to the uppers of your boots and making it easier to remove. I am not a chemist, but I would think that using any form of acid (in this case Citric), might remove that protective coating or a layer of it at least?
If you recall the passage from the book, ''The Long Walk'' they came across a Goat Herder up in a cave in the mountains. The Herder would slaughter a Goat for his food and whilst cooking it over a fire would allow the Goat Fat to drip on his boots and the author said they were the best pair of supplest boots he had ever seen. I am not knocking your video which I enjoyed, but just adding my opinion to it.
Before opening my mouth, I did engage my brain this morning and did a little research on the subject - it seems that folk do clean their leather goods with a mixture of Lemon Juice and Olive Oil and some even dab a wet cloth into Baking Soda to remove dirt there was even mention of White Vinegar (an acetic acid). However, as I suggested from the beginning, all of those ingredients would be too valuable to me to waste in a survival situation when I can clean with water and it doesn't need to be drinking water either.
My biggest problem with Bulgarian MUD is that it sticks to my soles, makes me 10 centimetres or more taller and a couple of kilos heavier and I am yet to try out or source a pair of boots with Panama soles and without breathing holes to test the theory that not so much mud will stick whilst out in the sticks.
Just my 10 Kopeks worth. Wink.
No problem :) This is just an efficient way of cleaning boots. Care products of whatever kind have to be applied afterwards of course. We have the same clay mud here. Urine is a great way of soften up new boots. This video is not really survival related as such. Just a good old tip :)
Come back with a Birch Tree Oil Boot cleaner and Leather nourishment and then, I'll be really envious. LOL.
This regular dose of Lars during the week is a pick-me-up. Like a hot cuppa in winter. Most if us probably won't admit it, but we'll watch someone else get ripped to shreds with black flies and skeeters.
The motivational coefficient is reduced by 6 weeks when the projected outcome has slowed due to extenuating circumstances. Nonetheless, the cow knows the smell of the barn.

Added notable truth Lars does not follow the pack. He surveils the pack, identifying the Alpha and then waits.
As for Lars the analogy is along the lines the even Caesar wait before crossing the Rubicon
Are you talking maths , philosophy or the law of the Jungle.
Huntarama - Firstly, no matter how I try to proof read, Murphy is right over my shoulder.
Secondly, I'm wondering if there is any "Law of the Jungle" per se. There are numerous adversarial relationships but there are also symbiotic interactions as well. For example, the Honeysuckle vine. Nice to the eye, sweet to taste, and frangrant. Yet, it's only purpose is to self propagate by choking the life sap from the tree.
There's a little non-descript bird who lives in the African wetlands whose sole existence is to pick the ticks and flies from a Hippo's ass. It has no enemies, and no other birds bother it.
Yes I can't help thinking"" law of the jungle "" is bit of an oxymoron.
What make of knife is that ?!?
the power of acid :)
