Arriving in Białowieża forest, the most well known national park in Poland where the European bison roam. With the oldest largest original forest in Europe, spanning from Poland into Belarus the two countries having a shared history. Though not border tensions are high in the region due to the migrant crisis and the Russia Ukraine war. Polish military convoys driving to and from the border, probably in cooperation with NATO forces. In this part of the country used to be the western border of the Tsarist Russian Empire, a bit of Polish history.

For the future, do not record soldiers on duty when there is a hybrid war, because any such video is information for the enemy where the Polish army is located...
Good comment 👍
Co ty za głupoty pierniczysz, Polska to nie Białoruś, może nagrywać co chce jeśli tu jest zgodne z prawem. Jeśli ustawodawca stwierdzi, że lepiej nie nagrywać będzie to usankcjonowanie prawnie. Wtedy będzie zakaz a nie z powodu twoich paranoi, które na szczęście nie mają kompletnie żadnego znaczenia.
@@kalkowscy Nie o to chodzi. Ile razy były prośby o nieudostępnianie? I to z oficjalnych profili? Czy wszystko musi być sankcjonowane, żeby było przestrzegane? Zdrowy rozsądek nie wystarczy?
@@gabrielapat2671 To nie zdrowy rozsądek tylko paranoja. Jak ktoś zacznie apelować, żebyś już nigdy nie pisała komentarzy, zrobisz to?
@@kalkowscy czyli załóżmy że jest wojna, a ty sobie chodzisz po polskich pozycjach nagrywasz i jeszcze udostępniasz koordynaty tak? Gościu, Nie chcę być niemiły czy coś ale Weź Się Uspokój. Tak jak Pisał Pan Powyżej "Zdrowy rozsądek nie wystarczy?".
So nice to see my country with your eyes :) You are doing a great job!
That's great to hear, thanks
Alot of us in the US that are military historians or into the science of combat have been watching poland lately and we are in awe of the dramatic change and path the polish armed forces are headed in...alot of us only see a few NATO members as peer to peer armies and poland is one of them.
Poland was in war more years than USA exist
Poland is a beautiful country, a mix of modernity (bigger cities like Warsaw), villages with wooden houses, nature with wild animals and stunning large parks with many tourist spots to explore. We have our sea, our mountains... and although our location on the map / unfriendly neighbors (like Germany or Russia) are a huge burden for us, for example on our psyche, even though we aren`t a naive nation that can simply live and enjoy life without looking behind our back from time to time without worrying about the future of our children... we try to be good people ;).
I`m glad that you have come to my country and wish you a pleasant stay. Poles drive quite aggressively, so be careful on the bike. And if you visit parks, watch out for poisonous snakes (vipers) and ticks (some unfortunately transmit Lyme disease). If you go into deep grass (depending on the location), e.g. in the vicinity of Radom (former Świętokrzyskie Province) and nearby villages, presence of poisonous snakes is a norm there. I recommend picking edible mushrooms in the forest if you find any (there is no penalty for it, for many Poles it is a hobby), the mushroom season will soon begin ;) So if you can recognize which mushrooms are edible - this is also great entertainment that is provided for us by our beautiful forests... But remeber, always be careful in tall grass and watch your feet and be careful not to get lost ;).
We walked some tall grass alright... we made it, only saw small snake in Ustroni Morskie. We talked about the mushrooms but never got to it which is a shame, I saw a lot of that while in Spain. From what I've seen Poland seems to be doing very good and I hope your cities remain as relaxed as they seemed because in Portugal and the Netherlands it is not like that anymore. Cheers
@@iPedroMota if you are unfamiliar with mushrooms, better not pick them. Many of them are poisonous, after ingestion one can die or seriously damage internal organs. Especially dangerous are those with gills underneath the hat.
why germany is unfriendly
An understatement that Polish drivers are aggressive. But I lived many years in the southern USA with rattlesnakes and scorpions and for about a year in North Carolina with many poisonous snakes that chase you, and some big black snakes that climb walls. But thanks for the warning.
Why do u say Germany is unfriendly? Dziwne. Its simply not true!
Interesting how quasi accurate your historic representations can be, spoken in a leisure oversimplified way. Thanks
Cheers. I enjoy seeing old world maps, a fascinating snapshot of history. And every time you discover some new empire and its moment in time. As for history, we're all familiar with a 24h news cycle, imagine condensing 365 x 365, 100 times to name a timeframe, and that's usually just one perspective. Complex business this history stuff.
How insulting. @Pedro Mota is obviously a professor without tenure of the historical narratives. 👀🧐😎😜
Peace
Interesting to see Poland from a foreign perspective (I’m a Pole). I didn’t even knew that this part of Poland have so many wooden houses💀, but, well this part of country (Masuria, Podlachia) are our natural open-air museum ❤

Miss my country Poland 🇵🇱 where I was born (now living in Australia 🇦🇺
Anyone want to play a drinking game? Drink one shot whenever someone says Białowieża correctly, two when said incorrectly, three when you can't tell the difference.
Btw this episodes theme song ruclips.net/video/CxlRJsQ7p2k/видео.html
So... Longer you play this game, more you drink, because you want tell the difference... Great rules.
It's not a bug, it's a feature
Dear Pedro, please don't be offended but please do not tell about the history of eastern Europe, because obviously your knowledge is small. I'm not saying you have to know it, do what you want, but please don't give a lecture on this subject as there are people who can learn from such videos and take them for granted.
Białowieża has never been Russian, beyond the times of the partitions. But these times for Poles are not the time of Poland's non-existence. The Polish state fell, but the nation did not. Poland existed, it was not on the map, but Poles functioned normally, depending on the invader, life was poorer or better. The partitions of Poland followed a conspiracy and betrayal of the Polish nobility dissatisfied with the Constitution of May 3 (the first in Europe, the second in the world after the American one), therefore it was not a result of losing some war for the lands or something like that.
It is very offensive for Poles to say that something was created by the Russians or belonged to the Russian empire, if it was not so.
If you want to raise these times of partitions so much, say that these lands belonged to Russia for 100 years (but Poles lived and built everything there anyway at that time), and for 900 years belonged to Poland.
And believe me much more often, when you go east you can say that these lands belonged to Poland and that something is built in the "Polish style" (e.g. Lviv) than you can say it in the opposite situation, because Poland lost after World War II 48% of its territory all in east. In the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the area of the country was 1,000,000 square kilometres. For comparison, the area of today's Germany is 358,000 square kilometres. It was Poland as the only country that conquered Moscow, it was Poland that defeated the Teutonic Order, it was Poland that saved Europe from the Ottoman invasion, it was Poland that saved Europe from the Russian invasion in 1920, Poland was also the granary of Europe for hundreds of years, etc. etc.. So what you said about the Russian empire in these lands (eastern Poland) is very unfair, and more importantly untrue. There are many videos on youtube like ‘1000 years of European borders change’, you should watch it because it helps a lot to understand Europe, who built it, who ruled it and what have shaped it as a result.
I enjoy you relating a historical perspective to places you visit. You seem up on this historical stuff and it is good. Keep up with the videos, I thoroughly enjoy them and it shows you have a genuine interest in the complete package in a region, not just sightseeing but a more complete understanding of the geographical and historical place.
By the way Pedro, you mentioned you have a bit of German in your blood, what other countries/nationalities do you have a tie with? I am Greek.
Bardzo fajnie się was oglada😘
super afsnit igen👍👍👍
After the Warsaw Pact, Poland eventually joined NATO. They have rotating visitors on manouvers from US, UK, Canada ... Poland can interact with many other armies now.
Thumbs up for the journey again. I can see a little discouragement in your eyes, but then comes MR. BIG traveller of the world and the things are back to normal. Nevermind. I am Bulgarian, but here is another Polish word to learn: Jazda. /Yazda/ which is commonly used to say- give it the gas, or ride it like you stole it. Ask some of the local people to explain. P. S. Orlen oil is a good product. I use it in my Virago 750 with 15/50 semi, and it is just fine. Greetings to Mariska as well.
Interesting... must visit Poland
It’s good to see that you enjoy visiting our country. Have a safe trip. Just be careful what you record, don’t show military objects, vehicles, buildings etc. (Don’t make hostile inteligence work easier. :)
Yep. I thought about the same thing... because situation on the border with Belarus is so tense that there is no point in recording military personnel at their work. It is better not to help Russia in locating our people and their equipment.
Author of this video didn`t do anything wrong, I would just advise you not to record our army in action - it is better not to have any problems, in particular when our government asked us (Polish people) not to do it, so it would be a pity that someone who visits our country would have any trouble because of this - if they showed "something more". It isn`t worth it, not in times of war abroad.
this is my region , I used to live 50 km from that place
I just love the way she pronounced "Nowogród"
Greetings from Poland
Not even close Pedro. Kaliningrad region ..rusian enclave is most militarised region in Europe with dozens thousends of soldiers , thousends of tanks, S-400 u,tra long range surface to air missiles amd Iskander-M and Iskander- K ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads what can reach Berlin, Oslo and Bruxel
this is what russia wants the whole world to believe 🤔
@@flyonthe7013 Things I wrote are confirmed by intel so don’t even try.
dang it bro finally the last pronunciation you got it right ;)
With patience small victories come, cheers

Another great video Pedro! And Your Polish is getting better! Did You had some "Śliwka" before pronouncing Białowieża? ;)
It numbed my Polish tongue fatigue a bit meybe
És o maior meu amigo. Grande abraço.
good vlogs
Hujnówka I see 🙂
I love that region; the people, nature.
Anyway Russia and Germany were always in love. Poland had to strugle for life invaded by them. Nothing has changed - now germany does whatever it can to keep dirty business with russia.
Sama prawda!
which dirty business are they doing w Russia?
It's a beauty out here, Poland is blessed
@@nomadhabit Putin's gang is robbing russia selling resources to germany - metals, oil, gas. Germans use it to keep their heavy industry running. Both sides are delighted. Similar situation in france-russia relation.
@@nomadhabit Nord stream 1 , Nord stream 2 and many more
We would be obliged, if you were so kind, not to show the places where military units are stationed in the public space. Btw great video :) greets from Poland and please come back again any time :)
Agree 👍
You would think that it's some kind of a secret that there are military troops there... Also, it's not like there are satelites which see everything.
im living near polish-german border and there are so many helicopters and planes for some reason and also some sort of supersonic jet training
Helicopters and planes will continue until war.stops between Russia and Ukraina.
Hi Pedro. If you change the valve seal, the bike will stop consuming oil.
I was thinking traditional piston rings wear but you make a good point. Could be a good double whammy since Atlas consumes a lot more oil than Alp did at the same mileage.
@@iPedroMota Maybe both, but then you need: New oversize Piston, hone the cylinder and new rings... Tooo much work/money!
Pretty amazing there is no walll at that crossing between Belarus and Poland.
Because it is a crossing after all. They are building the wall in more wild areas like rivers, bogs, forests.
Suggest you to STOP saying 'DA' in Poland ! Poland is NOT Russia or Belarus where you can say DA as Yes!! We use 'TAK' as Yes (you can offten use TAK in Belarus or Ukraine as well - at least in areas which were part of Poland like western Belarus or western Ukraine). If you will still used 'DA' in Poland you can end up with bruised face at some poiint! So STOP using "DA" as Yes , cause we are not speaking russian and we are not russians (we are even not close to russians in mentality, culture and far in language).
It will be far better for you if will speak english only; most of the people should understand you when speaking english (at least youg people).
Second thing ; do not film polish soldiers or polish military units unless you got permit! That helps enemy (russian or belarusssian forces) to locate polish soldiers in field and units in field or polish soldiers in move. It is stricly forbideen in border area and not too welcome anywhere else in Poland.

Białowieża comes from 2 words: Biała Wieża and it is just White Tower
The third partitioner was just Austria (Austria-hungary monarchy become a thing only in the 2nd half of 19. c.)
Uh, to see remnant forest you need to get a guide because it's not possible to enter without one. At least that is how it worked before.
You can tell he is from Holland. They always hum that Breton song that they think they composed.

if you say tack in sweden you say thank you.
Almost good with Białowieża = biały 'white', wieża 'tower', spell ż like s in 'measure' :)
Awesome to see the pride a man has in his service to his country, old man’s chest was pumped. As always, Pedro, love the simplified history lessons. Take care when videoing military, now’s not a good time especially in the grey zone between Russian and EU..
btw, Joe Bison, fucking hilarious 🤣
More at ease videoing military in Europe. There have been some countries I've visited where I'd think thrice. Cheers
what do you mean by "gray zone between Russian and EU .."?
@@pawegoawski1718 meaning he’s right on the line, where borders meet… photographing/videoing could raise eyebrows, which could get you stopped and hopefully not detained
Pedro, I am suprised that you have put in fully syntetetic Oil in a sucha old bike. I once poured partially syntetic oil in my honda cm 400 t and it suddenly started to burn Oil and I got the information from a mechanic that the syntetic oil cleans up the engine and drives out all the redusial inside the engine and hence it starts to burn oil. He just told me to continue pouring in mineral oil and the engine Will clog up again an the oil burning will stop. What is your experince using syntetic oil in a old bike?
IMO you"re mechanic was absolutly right. Don't put syntetic oil in a old engine. And never syntetic CAR oil, the friction improver will slip you're clutch (if the bike have some HP.)
I run semi syn in a 42 year old bike and it runs cooler and burns less oil. It must be JASO rated, NOT car oil.
Semi-synthetic in this case, these engines were built on the basics so mineral should usually do too. I looked in to it years ago, forgot the conclusion but there was plenty of debate still because oil. Now it's more 'what can I can get my hands on easy' and usually it's semi and I don't think you can go wrong there (don't really think about it anymore). Doesn't have to be anything fancy either, as long as it has the JASO rating. A faint memory from years ago comes to mind, I think I had a big mineral oil scare as if two thirds had evaporated in no time, probably in Australia.

It’s also the colors of France, Slovenia, Czech Republic, USA, Serbia, Slovakia, the UK, Chile, Costa Rica, etc etc….
LOL, nice to finish the day off with a Joe Bison joke.
Almost didn't make the cut but how could it not right
EU passport can only get visa arrival for Belarus entry by plane, no by the rail or road.
Some EU citizens, including Poles, don't need a visa at all. The thing is whether you consider traveling to Belarus safe and/or acceptable from the ethical point of view.
02:30 Despacito 😛
Hahahahahahah Joe Bison .... I laughed my ass off.
lol was that cope coming on the road to stop you and you just kept riding knowing he wouldn't get in his car lol ?
Not in this case but I have done that a handful of times in central Asia and Russia to avoid 'give me your documents so you have to bribe me' situations. Mixed emotions from not caring to getting mad or trying to grab me (got me on the shoulder once). In Western countries I do stop, though whenever I see cops on time I try to look like the most busy distracted rider in the world.
Hello , I have a new word for good morning, I say Good moulded , because depending on how you start you’re new day , you are moulding the out come by making small good healthy smart steps in planning and executing the days plan so say brother Good moulding I’m moulding my day you too lol ha ha ha ain’t that cold , oh I mean cool ya ;)
you should not show military equipment and localizations bud if they are not in the museum.
For some reason the Polish law does not say that you shouldn't. I guess the legislators don't think it's that important.

Pedro there’s no need to insult the ottomans,they had a had a huge empire in three different continents .So let’s not have disrespect.
True, brilliant history and I've seen some of it.
That is not insult that is History of Poland en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Ottoman_War_(1672%E2%80%931676)
@Julia Poland Julia you know that the ottomans were disliked by the Christian country’s,so please read the comments that some have written about his history lesson of the times gone bye.Plus why get offended by what I said ,it’s true the ottomans were hated but they still built a great empire.Today Turkey is not liked very much in Europe I wonder if it’s to do with there religion.
@Julia Poland I don’t know if you are into politics but Turkey has been trying to join the eu since the sixty’s seventy’s eighty’s ninety’s basically the last fifty years and given excuse after excuse so please never mind about people studying in the eu country s that is not politics.If Turkey joined it will be the first non Christian country to do so .
@Julia Poland Julia I was born in Cyprus half of my country is in the eu because that half’s is Christian my half is liberal Muslim (Cypriot) but we had a large influx of Islamist to the island .But we are not part of the eu we are the unrecognised half nobody wants us,sham on Europe whatever they said every word and promises were broken that why majority of my countrymen have left the country.I myself I live in the UK I have been here since the age of seven now I am 75 years old but you see that the European Union is so unfair if you are Christian you are in you if you are Islam
