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!
Happy New Year to you and your family. And Happy New Year to all subscribers and patreons of Survival Russia.
Thank you my friend :)
Thanks, same to you and Lars and his family!
Hummmmm
The things get strange with the time
You don't suck at making videos at all! They make me feel like I'm actually there visiting with a neighbor.
These kind of videos are the kind I prefer. I cannot stand the type of videos that bigger youtubers make, it takes the natural feel out of it. I prefer videos where the person in the video is talking to you as if theyre talking to you directly. Like just a humble face to face conversation with people they can't see. Kinda like how Bob Ross became so popular. It was like he was talking to you directly and showed you in real time how he did his paintings.
When watching the video I feel like Im hanging out with one of my friends.
Im actually watching add instead of escaping just because you are awesome
First Wool is super underrated for good cold weather gear. Second Valinki are a key part of one of my FAVORITE jokes.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, two submarines, Russian and American, come to the surface. The Russian one is old and rusty; the American one is new and sleek matte black. On the Russian one, the crew lounges about, a drunken captain yells at them: "Who threw a valenok on the control board? I'm asking you, who threw a valenok on the control board?!" From the American submarine, a clean-shaven, sober, and smartly-dressed captain yells scornfully: "You know, folks, in America..." The Russian captain dismissively interrupts him: "America??! Ain't no fucking America no more!!" He turns back to his crew "Who threw a valenok on the control board?!"
Took me second to get that! Ha!
LOL :)
@@SurvivalRussia Thank you for the interesting channel!
But you will laugh! I was a naval officer - submariner.
I served in the Northern Fleet. And on the surface position, the watch officer was dressed in valenki :)
Valenki isn't suitable for long walks. But it's perfect resist for long exposure to cold.
haha took me a solid minute to get it :D good one
Ok, I'm a stupid Amerikaniski. I don't get that joke. But, I'm sure it is a good one!
Those who want to get a pair need to know: These boots will probably shrink in use. Purchasing boots at least one size too large is a good idea. These kind of boots are also known in Finland where I'm from.
In Russia, boots walk you.
The more I learn about Russians, the more I like them. Happy New year to you and your family Lars.
Ain't that the truth!
Agree, Sam O. Wish I could move to Russia. But I have an elderly mother to take care of.
@ApplePie 2018 No, I think our Government has lied to us about "Evil Russia". In Soviet times. I think things were bad. Lars finding these Gulags kind of proves that, but Russia today, I think is a good place from what I have learned.
I second that!
Not alone russians, a lot of former soviet countries have lots of very friendly people. :))
People in general are nice, it outweights the nasty ones by a landslide!
That´s how it goes with most peoples...
The Valenki is classic Russian winter boots. Their history could be traced back more than 1,000 years. Good stuff, old school plus modern technology.👍👍👍
Great video, I love my Valenki wool boots. A lighter weight version is to buy the Valenki Wool Boots without the rubber outsole. Wear the boots around the house to get them to mold to your foot. After they are molded to your foot you can buy a can of spray flex seal and coat the bottoms of the boots. This will seal the bottoms from water and still not have the weight of the rubber soles. Thanks for these videos Lars!!!
Lars, there is nothing wrong with "heavy" if it keeps you warm and dry. I once had to work for a week in February on the Lake Eire shore. Not as cold as you are accustomed to, but certainly cold enough for me. My helper kept bragging about his new, lightweight, Gortex boots and mocking at my old-fashioned, felt-lined, HEAVY Sorels. He stopped laughing midweek when one of his boots started leaking and the sole separated from the upper.
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@RAYANDERS-w4t Thank you too!!!
Been wearing the Swedish wool whipcord pants from 1963 for the past 10 years. Cold water from a hose to flush the dirt and deer blood from the fibers and air dry. The quality exceeds high end Filson whipcord that cost 5 times as much.
My dad when younger traveled to russia to play Bandy, and he bought a pair of wool boots they made on the street. Feet stay warm and cosy below -20c 👌
Best boots for real cold and heavy snow. After all Siberian natives invented them using thousand-years experience.
In Northern Ontario, Canada, where I live in wool is my mainstay for our 8 months of winter. Before this video, I used to think that I dressed all in wool. I never thought about the heavy boots that I wore, that aren't wool. This was an awesome show and tell. Thank you Lars.
Did I miss something ?....wait! what about the axe man! WHATS WITH THAT AXE MAN.....lol.
"My awesome wife decided to be more awesome than she usually is."
I had those boots as a kid, had made by a aunt who was a master in sampi and traditional craft. Warmest footwear in extreme cold.
ramirez036 It would be very interesting to know how your aunt crafted them.
@@chapiit08 Hi. My aunt passed away 20 years ago. None of her children were interested in traditional crafts. I'm afraid that in my family those skills were forgotten with her. I remember seeing a documentary by Gunilla Paetau-Sjöberg she also has written books of traditional felt crafting. Try a search if you're interested. In my neck of the woods those were called "huopikkaat" a version without rubber sole. I also had a pair of "Lapikkaat" leather sampi style boots :-)
@@chapiit08 look up "wet felting boots" here on YT and you'll see how they are made at home.
So badly wanna get a pair of these
Happy new year. What's old is new agin. Can't beat wool for keeping you warm.
Fur.
Beat.
;)
Your wife is very special indeed to buy such wonderful Valenki, my wife has this model to keep her feet warm. I have the original style. I hope this year is good to you and your family and Russia .
The originals without the rubber soles would make the most awesome boot liners.🇨🇦
Love your wool collection, realy dont feel pressured to make videos, please enjoy your holiday with family and friends. You tube does not control every aspect of your life! Im happy knowing your taking care of yourself and family. Please have a brake!
That first scene of the table inside the tent looks like the perfect place for a game of Russian Roulette.
That is the kind of holidays we should all get ''31st Jan to 10th Jan''. Yes, I know you meant 31st December. Happy New Year, Happy Orthodox Christmas in a few days time, Happy Old New Year and finally, Old Christmas when the majority of Russians are so tired of celebrations and looking forward to getting back to work. I bought a pair of Valinki years ago for my Father in Russia and took them to him in the UK and who said they were the warmest boots he had ever worn. When he died, I brought them here to Bulgaria and they now form a part of my vehicle survival kit.
Awesome gifts and no more cold feet, enjoy the rest of your holiday.
What a coincidence! I actually just ordered a pair of Valenki boots from Russia before you posted this. I’m more pumped for them now👍
Hello, did you get your Valenki? Can I ask for more info. Your experieces and where can I order it...?
Thank you.
How about the axe that you had on the table there?? I would love to hear some more about that too, when you get a chance. Thanks for all of your great videos Lars.
I love those boots! I checked online and I can get women's for $59, which is really cheap, but shipping will probably be bad. But still worth it. I didn't think your video sucked. I think you did well. After all, you talked me into buying boots. :) Hope you enjoy your holiday and guests.
I don't know if you realize how much we love your videos...we love that you take the time to produce them for us, you need to know though how important is your time with your family, your own personal "down time". We all respect that...it's a time for your own personal renewal and rejuvenation so you can keep creating such important and creative output for all of your audience to cherish.
Very common footwear in Canada 60 years ago. We had the unsoled type but always wore a moccasin rubber over them. I use them still but have to get them from Russia now.
Happy 2019 🍻
Gonna change channel-name to "Ice Cold Studio" ? 😆😆😆
Those boots... Its a complete sheep on each foot 😁
Enjoy your holiday Lars and you and your family have a good new year, them boots do look warm.
Happy New Year Lar's, to you and your family. Enjoy your holiday. We'll be here waiting for you next video.
Those boots look great and must be really warm as well as being dry. I have to get another pair of boots like that since the ones I have won't fit my feet now since my feet are swollen. Your wife deserves a great meal in town for thinking of you.
Lars, yes those felt boots were the most treasured clothing item in the Gulags. The "zek" was hesitant in putting them by the stove because by morning they could have been stolen and then he's without them. I also love my German Military Wool Pants! I look forward to snow and cold weather just so I can wear my sherling sheepskin bomber jacket and my wool pants. I always feel like clicking my heels! By the way, I will send you 'big bucks' if you send me GPS Co-ordinates of any Missile Stations around your area.
I know you guys are celebrating Old Calendar Christmas on the 7th, and I think there is a feast for a widely venerated Saint a week after.
Happy New Years, and Merry Christmas, Lars!
Good to see you back! Thanks Lars, your the best.
Thank you Jesse! Happy Healthy 2019 :)
None of your videos suck Lars..... they are all great. The Neighborhood video was awesome and timely with the New Year here......citizens can make a difference. The best to you and yours for 2019.
Can’t wait for you to start “grinding” again! I’m laid up with a bad back and you’re my source of outdoors experience! But as far as this video is concerned, I want the entire set of Russian winter clothes!!!! Those boots look awesome! And I’ve looked up the wool suit, totally bad ass, brother! Thank you so much for all you do.
Greatest UA-cam survival Channel.
We love you Lars.
Thank you , Lars .
I have a pair of both types of those boots. The ones of total felt, are fine for cold dry snow surfaces, but I would not use them on wet snow or melting ice. However the ones with a rubber have much more capability. Great boots both.
I hesitate to mention it but these remind me of an episode of Duel Survival. Cody wore three pairs of thick woolen socks without shoes while in arctic conditions and he commented on how warm and sure footed he felt.
Wool has a low thermal conductivity.
Therefore, heat is stored inside and negative temperature outside. This means that the snow does not melt and the shoes do not get wet.
nice video, you do a good job, we have similar boots called Mukluks, made from fur or hide and canvas, breathable and warm.
Happy New Year . Christmas not over here . Three Kings tonight 5 th January . Off the mountain down to one of the villages ( Cadiar) for the procession . Always fun ,school children dressed as Moorsand Christians walking along the narrow streets with flaming torches in one hand and a tin on a wire Handel with oil in the other . The three kings in horses and fire works going off in the street . What could possibly go wrong 😂. Hope your year gas started better than mine 4 new tyres for my wife's 4x4 then yesterday ripped the side wall from a tyre on my terrano nagotiating a land slide on a track ne'er my house .
Your videos are always interesting, and those boots are awesome. What great craftsmanship, those are works of art! Happy new year brother, wishing you and the family all the best in 2019!!
I'm a recent convert to wool boots... Love them! Would probably never go back to regular shoes again. Especially being Canadian so I get it...
The Eleventh Day of Christmas 🌲had haircut. Budapest 🇭🇺 is a great place, I might stay longer, and enjoy it while I can. I 💚the boots.
Happy new year!
Pls do metal detecting this year on the new gulag camp :)
Fantastic new channel. I very much enjoyed this. I am going to watch some more. Showing me how you live, awesome video on keeping warm and your oven in guest house, good video. Wishing you and your family greetings and blessings of good health, happiness and peace from Cornwall. Uk..
Like one of my countrymen already commented, these are "huopatossut" in Finland. "Felt slippers" is the direct translation. My winter boots are quite heavy also, but I can see from the build of those Valinki they outweigh mine by a wide margin! Extra weight = more exercise for the legs, eh? Have a good(rest of the)vacation Lars! My vacation lasts until the 7th which is nice.
PS. This video didn't suck, don't worry. Don't be too hard on yourself, though I know it's a bit of a "character flaw" in Northern European countries and their denizens(even those now living in Russia). ;) I certainly can relate to being too harsh on oneself.
Your videos are my favourite on youtube, thanks for all your work i appreciate it. It's winter in UK and even though its only minus 6c your videos help me alot and bring me great comfort and most importantly, knowledge
Thanks so much! 💙
I really appreciate your cold weather gear views.....awesome.
Бигфуту это нужно, когда становится холодно... Awesomeness of a video my friend!
Happy Christmas and New Year. Great video as usual.
31st of January until 10th of January are nice holidays for sure!
Happy New Year to you and yours. Your videos are well made, entertaining and informative. Or, to put it more accurately, your videos are AWESOME, yah. Keep on with the interesting and sometimes personal subjects.
Glad Mrs. S. R. Was so good to you. Happy New Year Lars.
Merry Christmas( Jillian calendar ) to you and your family Lars. Love your videos.
You need to put the galoshes over the soleless valenki
Since discovering varusteleka I have been eyeballing all the old wool gear! It is great wool clothing in the u.s. is very expensive especially if it is thick.
Thanks Lars and Happy New Year! You deserve the break!
I wasn't subscribed yet when this came out.
Happy New Year!
I hope to join you on a lot of outings in this new year!
Take care Lars!
Thanks Lars! Best wishes.
Good to hear from you. Happy New Year!
Nice looking Axe there Lars ?
Happy Holiday hope your fresh new year is a great one.
the survival russia studio is mighty and so are those new boots. happy new year lars, i hope youll have a good one
You got some great presents! Sweet boots. Happy holidays.
AS ALWAYS,GREAT VIDEO,WOOL IS GREAT BUT GETTING HARDER TO FIND.
Those are an awesome looking pair of boots, that,s for dang sure!
Happy new year to you Lars and to your awesome family - take a few days off! We will wait patiently for your return. :)
Happy new year Lars and also to your family. Great boots. Propably warmer than the expensive Canadian boots you had recently
The best to you and your great family in the coming year, Lars! Those boots are awesome, for sure! That's a wonderful gift from a true sweetheart :)
We call them "huopatossut" here in Finland. The sole is a bit different here thou.
Either without the rubber sole, or with a rubber sole that's not so thick. The boot without rubber sole are very light but warm still.
@@crispydyslexic6628 I wish I could find some soles wide enough. I don't think they make them available at all. My feet are 11.9cm wide!
@@SandcastleDreams
damn son. americans should be using your foot as a measurement instead.
I have become quite fond of my soviet gear that you and Helsinkipop have influenced me on.
My Soviet jackboots I asked you about last year are very robust just as you said. I'm grateful of your no BS videos and how you assist others.
Oh, I found a source for Russian black bread. I have a new favorite. Again, many thanks.
I once had a pare of rubber boots that fit over your work boots. Would be a good combination with those all wool boots.
Hello Lars! Mrs SR got you this boots so you don't fall and twist your knee again, that is for sure. Be careful with the WWlI outfits, some 98+ vet may take you down thinking that the Germans are coming again:) Tip for walking on ice - heavy woolen socks on the outside of any shoes/boots does very well.
But it is a Swedish suit :)
@@SurvivalRussia It doesn't matter, Swedish or German - at age 96 + you never know what they see.
Rosen Georgiev I feel like we always have to be careful because here in the US everyone looks at you weird if you wear any kind of camo or military stuff.
I think it’s ridiculous considering surplus costs $ while north face is like $$$ price point and is not durable 😂
@@Sarah_Kinz Well, in NY State I am definitely not wearing much camouflage, and when I do isn't awesome, the looks people give me... And I carry a camera, not a "printer"...
@@Sarah_Kinz Nobody in my part of U.S. looks at you weird if you're wearing camo. We have a lot of hunters around.
Oh, what beautiful boots! I want some!!!!! Thank you for sharing and being you!
Enjoyed the review. Those boots look very warm. Also, what axe was that on the table? Maybe it was just a teaser? And, you're videos are always enjoyable. Thank you and Happy New Year to you and the whole Survival Russia family!
Happy New Year Lars and family! I am very excited for more Siberian exploration. And do not be concerned with video quality, the year has only just begun and each will be better than the last.
Cool boots! Thanks for that and I hope you enjoy the holidays!
Happy New Year to you and the family! You'll get back into the swing of things soon, I'm sure.
Happy Holidays Lars. Great looking boots.
Nice video Lars! Gott Nytt År!
The boots look awesome!
Id strap some titanium points on them for ice fishing.
Nice! Love those wool boots, both newer and older. Gulag, stalag... what's the difference. Thanks for doing a bunch of videos in your holiday time, for me on the last 5 years it's the first time I get no extra time off after Christmas. I managed a couple videos but just short ones. Take care Lars!
I wear corks 12hrs a day 6 days a week (just a bit over 3.5kg).
Hope your holidays are going well. I love the snow there! I know it is cold but I still wish it would snow here in North Carolina, USA!
Happy new year Lars! All the best to you and your family.
My new year kind of sucks so far, wish I was in Russia helping you make videos and wearing a pair of those boots.
Funny, I was considering making some sort of wool felt boot with old car tire tread glued on. Wish I could find patterns or plans for making such warm boots. I considered copying tall Indian mocassins. The video was good, could have used more light though.
I was just catching up on some old videos! Happy New Year!
Maybe you could have a history day show along with survival ?
It would be nice to see a test at -30 C with a Sorrel booth on the left foot and a rubber-soled felt booth on the right foot.
Just an idea.
Lars , Happy New Year, thanks for sharing, great to see you again . The boots look awesome , the video was fine.
Lots of cool gifts ! And finds oh merry Xmas to you and your family Lars take care brother
Happy New Year comrade.
Still on holidays till 10th January! Gorgonzola.
All the best for 2019 :)
Winter in Florida i put on a pair of sneakers
SORRY I COULDN'T RESIST ☃️👍🤣
Awesome :)
Happy New Year's Lars.. all the best for you and your family in 2019!
You make great videos. I love your personality...it is so comfortable. You make me smile ;) From the USA
Hallo Lars, Happy New Year to you and your family. We had similiar Winterboots in the East German army where I had to serve as conscript. The lower part was leather outside, for wet weather, but the wool felt went all the way round the foot. These were very warm and also very heavy. (Knobelbecher)
