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!
I think the guys who packed this didn't imagine that after 66 years a danish guy will open it in Russia =)
Skjelm And on a thing called the internet/UA-cam
like a U2 pilot? well, maybe not a spy jet
Ha! Pretty much guaranteed!
Not yet, but I have been too busy to look. Things will start to slow down now though.
P. Chretien, Yeah, we have been lied to most of our lives I'm finding out. The Russian people are not any different than those in the USA. We all want the same thing, a good life for ourselves and family.Look at Lars, speaks Russian, English, and Danish, maybe more.........a real dummy that guy! Heck, I can't even speak English as well as he does and I was born here!
The hard part is getting it back in the can.
It is "almost" impossible.
Someone didn't get the joke.
Lol true
Whoosh
Sort of like shaving cream that way!
Please tell your wife to breath...can not believe that people complain about that! People you get this for free!!!
That is one cool bag comes with its own frying pan and pot to boil water.
The internet turns people into ass holes because they wont get a fist to the face for being so.
i believe that and being law suit happy also......i can remember when an ass whipping trumped a restraining order lol
i can't believe it either.....i think as far a amature camera and directing goes you are in the top 20 percent here on the tube Lars!!! wifey,your video work and breathing are just fine. i thank you for helping hubby out.
MockingFaith dont talk bad about ass holes. even my ass hole knows that it needs to breath. but i understand what you meant. some ppl are a stain of cum.
tell Mrs survival russia to breathe as much as she wants! it's not like she's drowning out your voice or somthing...air is necessary, lol
Air is needed :)
3:22 Nice hiss!
Nice
Steve 1989 😁
Lars better do a dry pull on that bag!
Classic! I thought the same thing. I'm almost sure he noticed it too. He paused for a fraction of a second and smiled.
I have four down filled pillows from 1955 that were part of a Civil Defense hospital cache put down by the US government during the Cold War. They made good equipment back then, you have a good bag. Also, Mrs. Survival Russia can breathe all she wants, anyone who complains should try not breathing whilst watching a 10-20 minute video.
That is a great sleeping bag! Very cool that it is vintage 1952 and still in new condition!
Crying with laughter when your dog takes full advantage of you being zipped inside. I have a dog and take it into the woods with me, and every time, he does the same thing. Brilliant.
Who the hell are those OCD-people complaining of Mrs. S. R’s breathing???
Great bag, 66 years later still great. Mrs. Survival Russia can breath as needed. I have head phones on and never noticed her breathing.
In would have never thought about canning a sleeping bag. Quite sanitary, bug and animal proof. Never once noticed her breathing. Outstanding subject and videographer. Lol
That sleeping bag and canvas tent would be a good to keep permanently in the survival Russia vehicle for emergencies.
This is hysterical. It was inevitable, now that I’m thinking about it, that someone would send Lars, Spam. How fitting.
Nice little Hiss. Let's put this onto a tray... 😉😂
That was my exact thought as well
NICE!
This was the comment I was looking for, lol.
I think Mrs SR is needed more than people know so she can breath whenever she pleases. Thanks for sharing!
Never ceases to amaze what people can find to complain about. Breathe Mrs. Russia Breathe!! Great work as always!!
I used to have one just like that, it was a great sleeping bag. Spent many comfortable nights in it.
We camped for a few years with that same bag. On the West Coast US they were actually too warm to use as intended. In Yosemite Park, in the higher country, I woke up to a Brown Bear nose. I guess he was giving a good sniff into the bag to see what it had inside. What ever feathers they used had an attached odor. The bag is durable and I've used one in a Northern Temperate forest. In my area Army and Navy surplus stores have disappeared. I found one but his prices are astronomical and there isn't much gear. I was lucky enough to retain a 12 ft square canvas Army tarp. It is suited for long time deployment, excellent as a ground cover.
Enjoying your channel and the recommendations. Best wishes.
Thank you for the good post and story :)
Nice hiss.
Let's get it out on to a tray.
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I was so waiting to hear the hiss and find your comment lol
Awesome video again, thank you. And tell the wife to make all the noise she needs to, this is real life not a Hollywood movie. Next video breakfast with SPAM. 😎
That s a helluva nice gift, tip of the hat to Will! I would think the dust is a powder used to keep the bag from sticking to plastic, hopefully its harmless. That bag came out in what looks to be excellent shape, 66 years, wow!
Watching you use that giant "Spam" key to open the container brought back various memories: I cut my fingers more than once opening a real spam container and I had to roll carefully and evenly or the key would wind to one side and quit working. Also, the metal tape had a way of breaking at some point before opening was completed. I used pliers more than once to finish opening the metal tape. Modern pull-tab closures are easier to use to open cans.
Lots of laughs with big silly dog. I love dogs . Mrs Survival Russia must laugh quite a bit.
Sweet mummy bag! The down was a mixture of goose, chicken, and turkey down. Glad you found the emergency zipper release that I was going to tell you about as the video ended and then you came back having "discovered" it for yourself. Awesome! Be sure to get a safe, good quality waterproof spray before taking it out to test this winter.
Looks just like the mummy bag I had in the Army. Loved it when the dog came over for some play, lol. Have a great day my friend.
Have a great day too brother :)
His face was ripe for the slobbering!
I prefer the sound of Mrs. Survival Russia breathing than imagining her turning blue.
I had one of those bags before it was by far THE WARMEST sleeping bag I ever had
Mrs. Survival Russia is awesome she does excellent camera work. This is awesome they don't make them like they use to everything is use and throw away now.
That's one hell of a find, these are excellent sleeping bags. The only issue I've ever had with them is the wet weather, so invest in a cover for it if you haven't one already. Keep the zipper lubed and waxed, hang dry every season. Man, that thing was vacuum packed all this time...excellent!
I have the cold weather bag as well as the wool WWII and Korean War sleeping bags , including their bivy bags. They all have emergency egress zippers. With WWII and Korean War bags, just pull on either side of the bag at the zipper tab and in a ripping motion, it will come unzipped. You received a nice bag. It does not get any better than new out of the can, lol.
During the Korean War, soldiers made the mistake of zipping their bags, and some got bayoneted for their comfort...
Thank you Lars for another wonderful video! It was also nice that most of your happy little family was in, or helped with the video, including the dog!
I have a dash cam in the car now and I am constantly shocked by the amount of 'old man noises' I make and the bollocks that I talk to myself as I drive along.
I eventually turned the sound recording off. I got tired of my ediucational critiques of other drivers :)
I've been making old man noises since 30 and can't get down to the floor or up off the floor (for DIY or car maintenance purposes) without making them.
The dog thanks you for the new and soft sleeping bag bed ....
Lars, I spent màny nights in those bags...one hint: tie a square knot in those straps at the foot of the bag, as close to the bag as possible...that keeps you from tearing them out of the seam when you roll up the bag and tie it up to carry....tearing out the seam is quite easy to do by the way.
You and your wife make the best videos ❤
9:04 that is awesome! It should be a feature in all camping and survival equipment that uses zippers.
You don't have to take viewer criticism THAT seriously lol. Don't put yourself into hospital just for us Mrs. Survival Russia.
3:40 hey...I used to be a professional photographer and ENG cameraman during my mis-spent youth in Toronto, Canada. I actually LIKE your better half's camera work. I was also told I had good instinct by our TV instructor at Ryerson University...Madame has the touch, too.....one could learn all about matching action, compressing time, the 90 degree rule, shooting "cutaways" that can save your heinie later, multiple repetitions of acts and paragraphs shot at different angles, spend hours studying old Sergei Eisenstein movies .......HOWEVER, I say, HOWEVER adding that type complexity would overwhelm the innate simplicity of your style which I admire...plus you'd be spending hours editing it all together, instead of spending time with the Ninja and your little Commando....
I've got this sleeping bag.
My grandpa gave it to me over 20 years ago and he has used it many years before that.
I didn't know that it was in a can once. Now i love it even more. It's a great outdoor sleeping bag and very robust. But if its getting under freezing temperatur i need a bivy to be warm inside.
Nice video and thanks for telling me sthg about the history of my bag ;-)
OMG! BOSS IS THE BEST!! WHAT A GREAT DOG.
So damn cool lmao thanks for breathing in 1952 dust particles to show us this relic. You rock Lars lol that zipper system is wicked awesome.
I agree with some previous posters. Tell Mrs. Survival Russia to please breath. Anyone who complained about that isn’t worth reguarding.
I love that sleeping bag! My grandpa was retired US Army and he had one like that and it was a down feather sleeping bag. We called it the mummy bag. When we were kids we would crawl inside it and curl up into a ball sideways and roll each other around and then the person inside the sleeping bag had to try to unroll it and escape on their own. We had a lot of fun playing with that old thing and it did have a funky odor!! 💕💕💕👍
Ms SR's breathing is most welcome!!!
Ha Ha!!! ... Hey Lars... you would smell funky too if you were vacuum packed in 1952! I wasn't even alive till '58! That zipper system was absolute genius! Great video... thank you!!!
I had one of these as a boy scout in the early 90s, although I didn't have the excitement of taking it out from a can, but I do remember it was a bit heavy (at least it seemed that way as a kid) and it was quite warm, almost to the point of being overkill even in winter in North Carolina, thanks for sharing and thanks to your friend for donating.
You could make enough soup to share in that new camp pot. I was waiting for the dog to lift a leg and christen poor Lars, trapped in the bag. (That ruins a good bag or tent. Thanks, a lot dog!) Mrs. SR, you are allowed to make any noise you wish, including laughing as Lars getting trapped in a sleeping bag!
....laughing loud...I waited for the dog to lift a leg and baptize poor Lars who was trapped in the pocket...I hve the same idea
That bag is actually quite good .
now I am envious :D btw Mrs SR is not a plane, so not a disturbence. please have her breathe again, no matter what the androids say :D
Excellent. That would make great "back up" ground insulator.
I had one of those years ago, damned warm bag!
I used to have one of these, but traded it in for a synthetic fill bag. Down here in Alabama, rain and other moisture is a constant, and wet down is worse than useless.
Awesome, I didn't know they ever put sleeping bags in a spam can.
The empty can is for a REAL pocket survival kit useful (-:
Nice Gift!
Best regards, Torsten
Thank for showing us that THE OLD REGULAR SIZED BAGS ARE TOO SMALL FOR NORMAL/TALL SIZED GUYS..LOL
Way back when I had one of the U.S. Army's Down Arctic Bags. (Much like the one you are showing.) (Mine might still be in my Parents Loft.)
Rub some Soap on the Zipper and it will work a lot better.
The Grommets are for attaching a Bivy Bag or Cover on the Bag.
The Cords on the end are indeed for Tieing the Bag when you roll it up. (They will fit through a couple of slots in the end of the Bivy Bag.)
I slept comfortably in this bag down to around 10°F or around -12°C. (That was without a liner or clothing other than Wool Socks.)
Loved it when you couldn't fight off the dog!
Lars that is an awesome catch the spam bag. Thanks for sharing my friend. Cheers Fred
That tin is your new cookie container. Funny video, Thanks
I have one . Bought it for 10$ in Britt Iowa for the national hobo convention. It's pretty warm but if you get one you need to be careful mine has two holes and the feathers will come out
I used one of these bags as a kid, in the 1960,s, for camping. Not good in summer, but I never got cold.
I'm so glad you did the bit at the end regarding the emergency exit feature. I was going to ask you to include a clear shot of the instruction label on your next video because that part of the instructions was never clear in any of this video. I slept in one of these that belonged to my uncle when I was about 13 or 14 years old (1968) and it was almost too warm for late fall in Kentucky. It's good to know that I could have escaped if I found a rattler sharing it with me in the middle of the night. :-) Love your vids and Mrs. S. Russia should just ignore those A holes that complain because she has to breathe.
Good Luck getting it back in the Can Lars
LOL :)
I was born in 1954 so wow ,, what a cool unboxing !
The grommets Eyelets are to lace in a bivecover really long shoelace just for you information. You could probably find to keep the bag from getting dirty.
This bag with the wool liner is good to -40 c. The worst part is getting out in the morning.
I have the Korean era wool liner. I use it as an outer layer over my expensive down bag to protect it from sparks and the elements. Works great.
Hi Lars,
I have that same one, but with a waterproof canvas outershel.
It's basicly the arctic ww2 bag, i've been told. ;)
Cheers.
Lars, my dogs do the same any time i am on the floor they think it's play time.. sleeping bag like us is old school and will get the job done no matter what... Ps I have to say I rather enjoyed hearing you good lady heavy breathing ! ( blushes) she is a pretty lady and the pink troll has been missing from your films...
Great video as always Lars!
I'd definitely prefer Mrs. Survival Russia to breath over not breathing, we don't want her passing out!
That's a great zipper! I wish they still made nice brass zippers like that. The ones on the Swiss Alpenflage jacket are great, too!
Very cool video Lars, they don't make them like that anymore.
“Smells kinda funky” lol hilarious!
I have one of those bags. I don't know if it was in a can at one time or not. Very warm, good bag. I hope you bought two or three in the can. Perfect for emergency break down in the Survival Russia vehicle and the Mini Crawler! Mine shed feathers all the time too. I wake up with my beard full of feathers......looks like I ate a chicken in my sleep! Ha!
Very cool bag , I got my first one in Germany as a kid in 1965 , my dad was stationed there. Thanks for sharing !
Rub the zipper with a candle or beeswax and it will run smoothly. Saved many of my zippers.
Still v-packed after nearly 70 years? Holy shit!
Love seeing your dogs in the videos.
Lars the grommets on the zipper face are to attach an outer cover on the regular issue bags.
Sealed 'Spam can' sleeping bags fetch $250-300 here in the USA! Something worthy of note on actual Spam: only 'Original' is 100% pork, the low fat, low sodium, and all the flavored versions contain chicken too. They have a much shorter shelf life and taste funky too, IMHO. I'm a connoisseur and only buy the real deal: Original Spam. :)
I have a Korean era Emergency Evacuation Sleeping Bag. They are prized gear if you can find one. Lots of room, quality Down. I spent the better part of winter camping last year smoothing it with that bag. Usually the evac bags have additional zippers so Med can get to wounds with out removing patient from the bag. Zippers down the back and zipper access to the legs. Two straps on each side so four guys can carry the wounded inside.
I used to have one of those bags. I believe that that is a quick escape zipper, and it's not broken, at least that's how mine was.
That is a nice looking sleeping bag and I would love to have one like that myself. It will come in handy for the Winters you all have there every year. I can use one myself and will have to check out the Army Navy Store to see if they have any sleeping bags there, and buy one to put in my backpack. Your dog is so cute and was wanting your full attention so badly and I just have to laugh while viewing him/her playing around with you while you was in that bag.
Oh good grief, let the woman breath! Seriously folks. Great camera work
Mrs. Survival Russia!
The grommets are to lash the cover to the bag. There was also a liner for extra cold weather.
That is so cool Lars! Amazing how it well it had been preserved and what awesome design features!
I had one in the 90's. The full kit had a liner (mine was made of muslin) which helped to keep you from looking like a chicken wen you crawled out. It also had a canvas cover that was laced into those grommets alongside the zipper. Sadly, they wear out from all the feathers that escape.
I would wash it by hand in a tub with cold water and a Woolite like product. That will remove the dust and allow the down to fully fluff up.
they were dry cleaning or hang out for a day or two type thing.
why would you need to clean for dust if it was in a vacuum sealed bag and vacuum sealed metal container from the factory?
Because he found dust upon opening. It is likely crushed down from the vacuum packaging and age.
Long ago, used a surplus one of these 1949 bags while camping.
Nice hiss.... thanks, that was a great insight into something that I never expected to see or even knew about. Quality alright made to last. Unlike many a modern product.
I own two of those. They are good for Average to Small People. So I'm thinking Mrs. Survival Russia just got a new Bag! There is also a Canvas Bivy Sack that goes with it. No Waterproofing, more to keep Dirt and Dust and Sparks from the Fire hurting it. Hope this helps. Thanks again and Take Care.
7:37 I love your bear dog hahaha
The infamous green maggot, British pattern 58 down filled bag (feather mites and all) was very similar, with an added waterproof ground layer/bottom. People developed allergies to the feathers or was it the mites. Either way, it was a good day when the MoD brought out the replacement. The Sleeping System. Now that was a good sleeping bag, gortex bivi and roll map combination.
That is absolutely FANTASTIC!
cool bag! definitely didn't have the quick release when i got issued mine.
Amazing, the bag is exactly one year younger than me but it looks in better condition. The quick release on the zip is a great idea, how many times in the past I have had a 'stand to' in the middle of the night and had a real struggle to get the zip undone on my bag.
One thing is for sure, you will never get that back in the can!
Great stuff! 👍😎
That was really cool.
I wish your dog had have tried getting in the bag to get you.
It was nice to hear Mrs SR giggling in the background.
Lars, those are commonly known as "mummy bags". They're really warm in the cold!
Nice attic bags are warm /yup quick release ! Looking into that firefly great little tool . That's really all you need is a sak ! Great detector looks really compact ! That canvas is a one man shelter 2 makes a pretty good tent ! Nice will took great care of you ! Be good brother
I have that same bag (Mountain bag, not sure if it's M1949 or not) along with the cover. It was a gift from my older brother (he was US Army at the time) in the early 60's. Good stuff.
One awesome sleeping bag. Thanks for showing
That is an awesome little relic from the past! They sure don’t make em like that anymore, heck I never even heard of such a thing. Thanks for sharing brother 👍🏻
