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.

Nicely done. Very Yakut / Evenki chic. Now you will be known as the Dansk reindeer whisperer.
Cool project. I need to make a sheath for my fish filleting knife. This might work and be unique.
Triberian. 6-8 months years old. Squerking. No need to translate this cold weather language. We understand.
I was really on the ball in this video :)
That is very cool. Handmade cordage is awesome. That earns extra cool points.
wow this video will have the bushcrafters doing backflips. The Technique has a lot of other potential uses. i found a good supply of birch bark but unfortunately the town council chopped and chipped them before huntarama midnight timber supplies could take advantage of the situation.
Very cool sheath. Looks rugged and useful. Definitely a winner. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Great job, but is it Pink Ninja proof?
Nothing is Pink Ninja proof! :)
HA!!
Well done Lars on this project. The Dictionary people now need to add a footnote to the word "Awesome - A hard task done well by Survival Russia. Also a sense of appreciation for a hard situation that can be enjoyed to the maximum." Thank you mate, from Greg in Thailand
Absolutely fantastic! One of your best Videos. I really like this traditional Stuff.
Fantastic! It's a pity the nearest birch is several hundred kilometres North of me, I wonder if there is any kind of bark here that I can use.
The nettles are the same family as hemp and marijuana so the cord will be quite strong, the fibre is good enough to make material out of and boiling the leaves to eat is a bit like spinach or boil them more to make khaki dye.I used to know a guy in the UK who made a very drinkable but potent wine from nettles.
Plus the roots have properties that are used to treat enlarged prostate, a pretty useful plant.
Someone watched to much Crazy Russian Hacker, while being home alone. BOOM! xD
Very interesting project, thank you. Will your Yakut knife have the same type of sheath to match the handle you made for it?
Maybe it will :) Thank you Mike.
Great Sheath Video Lars, thanks for sharing.
I hope Mrs Survival Russia & the Ninjas are
all safe after the terrible shopping centre
fire in Moscow.
All The Best
Mark.
Thanks Lars, been waiting for this all day ! Great to visit with you again !
I want a Survival Russia tee shirt with "Approved Awesome by Lars" printed big right across the front👍
I will do some T-shirts :) I was thinking about it this morning.
"Squirky"! You've invented a new word Lars!! :) This video is awesome! Definitely a cool project to play with around the campfire! My kiddos will find it fun to make their own personal sheath as well I would think. Btw...an idea for a fun project might be to finish that sauna room! It would be awesome to use in the dead of winter! Take care my friend!
I was mixing words a lot for some reason :)
Very neat Lars, i have seen these in Lapland but did not know how they were made. Very cool and Triberian mate, lol. Cheers Moose
I was really messing up the words :)
Cheers Mate!
Lars, that is very neat! I do leather work and have made many knife sheaths, but I've never seen that before. Too bad we don't have birch trees here.
Birch bark is like natures Kydex actually :) Soaked in hot water, it can be shaped like Kydex. It just have to be in the press longer.
You're english is awesome ;) blah blah blah :D
Cool, I think, that it is a really nice "total handyman" style sheath. By the way was that the old soviet stove, that you got or found?? I thought, that you could not make it work?? I Looked closely with a magnifying glass, and it said CCCP on the label so?? Soyus sovetskix socialistiteskix respubliki as far as I remember, free translation. :o) Nice day!!!
Yes, that's right! It's the Soviet oil stove 'Шмель2' (Bumblebee). Now it's a rarity though one is still possible to buy at a flea market. A complete set costs about $50-70. Do not forget the Soviet technique will be workable even after the end of the world )))
Have just become a patron...keep up the fantastic work..
Thank you for the support Archie :)
Your wife needs to get home soon. I can see that you are having withdrawals from not being in the forest.
True!!!
Thanks for sharing, I'm going to try this
one of my favorite videos you've done mate :-)
Thanks, but I half failed :)
No Lars you did not half fail. You told us how it is done traditionally, even if you had only drawn out diagrams, it would have showed us . This was a lot better, than diagrams. 100% success , next will be beautification :-)
Really nice Lars, I could actually do that (I think).
I'm sure you can :)
Could you soak the bark in water to make it soft then mold it around your knife and let it dry. I do like the heat method but it just looks like it makes it even more brittle to work with.
This bark was not great. It have been stored during a hot summer and cold winter. Fresher bark is better to work with. Just water alone does not do much to the bark. Earlier I have soaked it in warm water. Almost boiling. The bark curls up but becomes soft like leather. for a while anyway. The heat method works well if you don't heat it too much.
That's a dang awesome birch bark sheath, seems you had a great sunday! These homestead project videos are top notch entertainment/education. One thing I'm patiently waiting for is the Siberian style knife blade you had the curled birch handle project with, I'm sure that'll be awesome. Have a great week, thanks for the video!
I feel so prepped for finally moving to Russia.
I'm only 200 miles away but you are so inspiring for what I've been thinking for 15 years.
Birch are beautiful too.
Spaciba!!
Lars, nice and simple idea for sheat. Quickly made too. However you could have try to put birch bark in hot water for a short time in order to make it more knife contour following and then dry it slowly. I suggests you to lookup Finnish method of braided sheats for Scandi-Siberian types of knife. Jakuts knifes are usualy dented-concaved(easier cutting of frozen materials; wood,fish,meat) P.S. love how you inadvertently coined word TRIBERIAN, marked it for the life. Nazdorovye
Great video!
That's a really cool use of birch bark. Could you do a video on making the nettle cordage? If looks really strong!
P.S. We are due to get your crazy wind here in the UK around wednesday, along with a little of your crazy snow.
All the best.
Great vid Lars that's a great way to make a sheath I'd scrape the rest with a blade get it down smooth iv got to try this take care brother
Simple and a great tutorial. If we only had birch where I live. Its a travesty.
90K plus now mate congratulations well deserved...
I love to see projects where things go backwards instead of supposedly forward in a technological manner. I like the simpler much more natural things and wish our time here was getting simpler. People would appreciate things much more. Especially if we actually made things for ourselves.
Thank you Lars, I can't wait till I make one for my Mora No. 2. Great and informative video.
Dean from Canada
That was awesome thank you so very much sir!!!
Thank you too :)
I see you don't have the orange snow...hahaha...I forgot what I was going to say .. you should sell your handmade things.. I know your fans would love to have something you've made... great video. ..
cool project. Cordage is the one thing I carry lots of in my gear. I always have extra bits tied/stuffed everywhere. Making natural cordage is a severe pain in the buttocks that I wish to avoid at all costs.
Well done Lars, especially with your own nettle cordage!
Thank you very much :)
Great video...love your channel 👍 greetings from usa
thank you, this is really AWESOME! is it possible to apply this system to other materials like cardboard or plastic?
pewdiepie would die for this like to dislike ratio.. Thanks again for the great video!
Yes, the ratio is pretty good actually. YT is not sharing my channel enough among the right people..
Survival Russia well since the ratio is like 0.2%, maybe they are sharing it amongst the right people.. if you know what I mean.. but they should share it more I agree totally, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us
Lars= Awesomeness
Super video, anorak where bought ? Greetings from Poland
Thank you! Here :) www.sukonka.com/ The owner is a friend.
I like it. Now I need to find some birch bark and try it myself. Love your channel. I am from Pennsylvania in the USA and it is neet that I can watch you in Siberia from here.
Very cool, my 5 yr old wants to make one as a project! He’s loves the channel as well, but asked does the pink ninja watch tv and what’s her favourite games
Interesting sheath design..are you finished up your knife handle yet? It will be cool to see you make a new one out of fresh bark for that knife...it must be birch sap harvesting time soon😊
Thanks for another nice video. What about making one about bivy bags?
I love the traditional skills of the Evenki tribe I'm fascinated with there way of life. They could to the rest of the world a thing or to on respecting the earth. Thanks very much for the video it's great to learn such skills
That's a lot nicer than what I expected ^^
Thank you :)
It looks pretty good to me Lars. It's functional at least. Thanks for the video!
Definitely impressive, and a lot less hassle than my initial guess for how it'd be made. XP
Lars what can I say, but is there no end to your bushcraft knowledge, once again my friend awesome
The joint work on the logs looks pretty good!
Thx nice did do some building whit birch twigs when I was young.
Thx.
Wow, the sheet looks so beautifull. I will try to handcraft also one :-)
this i will try for my mora carving knives, thanks for the tutorial.. now i just need to bark up the right tree
What happened to the knife you were making the handle for from curled birch? I would like to see how it turned out.
Great video. I would love to see you visit the Evenks. I don't know if that is in the cards. Just a thought, family vacation to one of their festivals
Birch bark is awesome stuff. Too bad there's none around here for hundreds of miles!
Love this. I was a Bosun's mate in the navy. Did a lot of whipping.
Excellent! I can see putting rubber cement on the outside, then wrapping some cord or thin leather around it.
Bonus point for using squrking or qurking in the same sentence! :)
Awesome project and possible emergence tinder, love it!
I have seen what claimed to be Evank sheaths where the belt loop was on the side rather then on top. Then the knife is balanced to hang more horizontal, pretty cool, I am going to try that. Perhaps you have seem such sheaths. Thanks again! :)
Yes I was mixing words :) "Triberian"... It true. Their sheaths can be balanced like that. They have a interstin method of making sheaths of two wood shells as well.
I was going to say you could make a cross draw, then you covered that.😀 Ha ha! Love your work Lars.
Another great video and a great project to have a go at. Wonder if you could work the bark over a small log fire.
Great video..i am going today to collect Birch water so i will definetly try to make this for my old knife.
Beautiful nettle cordage, I’ve make some but mine was not as neat. 😁
The tutorial was good piity we dont have birch in South Africa.
Really nice DIY video! Thanks!
I think ingesting sugar will help your speech in cold conditions like this
How did you learn to speak English?
Great idea well presentes. Thank you. ATB
A shout out on one of your videos would be AWESOME :)
That's an awesome video, very interesting to say the least, thanks
Wow that's a cool knife sheath! Please can you show us how to make nettle cord one day !?
at first i didnt think it would last a month ,,, watched till the end ,,, i think it'll last a lifetime now
: ))
If you are someone that likes to get outdoors and be in nature, you should know that a Birch tree is one of the best trees for multiple reasons. It will give you water for drinking in early spring, leafs (and inner bark) for making teas, Chaga and Polypore mushrooms for tea and amber for fires. Not to mention the bark which can catch fire (dry/wet), canoes, storage (in the same way you did it) and now sheaths ... amazing tree! Thx Lars for the lesson!
The Birch is also one of the oldest trees in the Northern woodlands, if not the oldest.
Also doubles up as fire lighting backup in dire emergency.
Great video, fun little project.
That it does for sure Andu :)
Would the birch bark be just as flexible if you boiled it?
Simple and easy to imitate. Thanks Lars!
I think this is a great idea for a long-term survival situation. A sheath could get badly damaged, or ruin from old age. Another factor is that such sheaths could be made in conjunction with Blacksmiths making knives in the same scenario.
That's very true :)
Awesome video Lars, have you seen any orange snow before.
I will have to make one for my Mora! Thanks!
Great video , your knowledge is amazing. Ps. did you get my message ?
Thank you. I will check. UA-cam have stopped sending mails when I get new messages....
Thank You , Lars .
Thank you too!
I only ever had birch bark suffocate itself when I tried to light it, never thought you could do something this awesome with that curling effect. Don't think this would work here tho because the birch bark is pretty thin here, I think it's the mild climate.
Here is how you can prevent birch bark from curling up when you start a fire :) ua-cam.com/video/aYk3uSOmuaY/v-deo.html
That ad was hilarious...lol...oh, and good video.
I see Roman Numerals on your doorway. Is that how you mark the snow of perhaps flood levels??
I was wondering this too.
It for keeping check on the logs while building the cabin :)
Thanks for sharing. This was really cool!
Nice job Lars! I like this simple method and I was looking forward to you getting rid of that cheap leather sheath on the Mora. The method I used with an old puukko of mine was to weave the bark, it looks good but took a long time to make.
I've made a couple of sheathes out of cardboard with the weaving method. It's surprisingly effective :)
Now that's innovation! Did you treat them with anything?
Thank you :) No I haven't treated the cardboard, but if was to use them a lot I would want to cover them with a water-resistant lacquer of some kind. I was surprised I didn't even need glue.
I just thought to try out the weaving method before wasting some bark - the only birches around me are planted in peoples yards, so the only bark I have is from fallen branches.
Did you treat your puuko sheath?
No, it is holding up OK, but if I make one in future I might soak it in some concoction such as molten wax, diluted Pine Tar or diluted Linseed oil.
Awsome really cool idea be good one to so the kids to learn
Gotta keep a lookout for a dead birch now.
Very cool thank you so much for the video
Well done Lars, you got some cool skills.
You can disguise your knife as a carrot.
"Today, on Crafts with Lars..."
Such an awesome little sheath. It's truely satisfying to use gear you make yourself, because you can always fix it or replace it yourself! Another quality video. Take care.
That was cool I, had no idea where you were going. Have you eaten the nettles leaves they are supposed to good for you.
nemiroff make a good quality birch bud vodka
Thanks Lars awesome DIY project
Very cool sheath. Nicely done!
Servus Lars! Thanks for the awesome video-lesson, loved it. Hope that maybe someday you could talk to someone from the Evenki and record it? their way of life and skills surely are important and awesome as well. Have you heard of the Mari El people by the way? I just got done reading some stuff about them, very interesting.
I have it in the plans to get up there at some point :)
That's awesome to hear! Best regards
