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.

Regards, Lars
You make a great father. :o) Before you know it, that little one will be a young lady and will be leaving home for a life of her own. The years pass by all too quickly sometimes.
at the risk of repeating myself - she is adorable!! My late wife and I never had children, but it still brings me joy to see others who have kids, and especially to see fathers spend time with their daughters! So many problems we see today, I think, come from families where there is not a good father to set the example of what a man should be, and how he treats his family.
I've been using this style of foot wraps ever since I saw it on this chanel a long time ago and I still use this system to this day. I love it!!
Lars it is pure awesomeness that the Little Pink Troll likes to go out but even more awesome that you take her. I still am amazed at the fact you have poisonous snakes and wild boar. As said before we only have garter snakes here, Southern Ontario has rattlers . Bears, moose and deer as well as racoons and skunks and other critters are found here. Keep up the great work my friend Lars.....cheers Fred
Thanks Fred :) Yes she insisted to go to the forest with me, so there were no way around it. We always have a great time in the forest :)
Thanks Lars for that In depth demonstration. I appreciate it my friend. I need to go to the fabric store down in the valley in town next time I get to town and see if I can get some suitable material to try this myself.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival
Lonnie and Lars, two of the genuine good guys and true woodsmen.
Thank you too :)
Far North Bushcraft And Survival Good to see you here. Your channel and this one show the only methods I use for survival, things that I consider part of me because I grew up that way. It is great to see two experts sharing such important knowledge. Thank you.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival I read your post with your voice in my head lol! Take care and keep your head on a swivel.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival
I bought some muslin today and looked over the flannel. I passed on the flannel, the choices were Wonder woman, Batman, or Curious George. Wheres the plaid???
Now to rewatch all of Lars' footwrap vids and give it a try.
Good to see your daughter enjoying the forest and going with you, reminds me of my daughter and how much she'd love doing this type of exploring with me. I also have 3 sons, but daughters love their dads differently and love to get out about with their fathers. Men without daughters don't understand this bond and they miss out on a special love that only a daughter can bring
Thank you, and very true :)
Thanks for the refresher course on the foot wraps, ordered some of the winter ones from varusteleka. Such a great dad, teaching the little pink troll the outdoors. I know she will look back with joy and love at the fun times she had as a kid. Have a great weekend brother.
Thank you friend :) Have a great weekend too.
Merry Christmas to all in Russia and God Bless.
I've never personally used them but a very good friend of mine whom I go camping with a lot swears by them. I have personally seen their benefits when we attempted a river crossing. Long story short, the crossing went... poorly... and we ended up soaked. His footwraps were one of the first items to dry which really helped him out especially as the wind began to pick up and it started to get colder.
I 100% plan on picking up the winter set, there just doesn't seem to be any reason not too. Also, great to see you spending time with your daughter. The forest is a very magical place and perfect for the wandering minds of children! Awesome video.
same education here,i take my 8 y old daughter with me in the woods as much i can
i try to give her a in a playfull way education,
when she is older,she can manage into the woods and don't have fear for it
Lars, a few things. A) Keep the Pink Troll in the Woods FOREVER! How is she going to find a Man in Today's Cities who won't Freak Out when he finds out there's no Coffee Stand behind a Birch Tree? B) Thanks for the Tutorial. You're right about it being an Old Skill that WORKS. I think the Roman Legionnaires used a similar system in their Winter Camps in the Alps and England. C) Ever Guard something with an Empty Weapon? When I was in the U. S. Navy from 76-86 aboard various Nuclear Missile Submarines, it was AGAINST THE RULES for us to have a Loaded Pistol when we were standing Topside Petty Officer/Sentry while we were in Port! I spent YEARS carrying an empty 1911A1 Pistol on my right Hip while I had two magazines with only FIVE ROUNDS in each! The Navy was so scared of "Accidental Discharges" that the Duty Officers would sometimes inspect us during Watch by sticking their Finger into the Magazine Well to make sure it was Empty! And the Rifles and Shotguns were ALWAYS locked up in a Safe. Yet those Exact Same Submarines had enough Nuclear Firepower to melt both Moscow and St. Petersburg into a Parking Lot! Yet they could Trust those same Twenty Year Olds to Launch Missles, but they couldn't launch a .45 round w/o a Five Minute Procedure! D) 727kirk: Yes he did. It's what a Free Man on his own Land gets to do. Didn't you see the Bear Crap and the Snake? What's he supposed to protect his Daughter with out in the Forest, a Cell Phone App? Oh, keep this in mind: the NEXT time a Police Officer passes by your Kids, those Pistols are LOADED. Good Job as Usual, Lars!
Stuff like this is why I love watching this channel. I would've never even known about foot wraps before this. Keep up the informative videos and the good work!
Loved seeing you and your daughter out together. Those are moments she will remember for the rest of her life. It will be a part of her. Thanks for sharing that. Much appreciated.
Love those foot wraps. Like yourself Lars, I like the winter foot wraps the best. I also utilize the German square foot wraps, but mostly over thinner wool socks. I like the Russian foot wraps the best. The wraps are really comfortable.
LOL The real reason we were told not to lean long arms on walls n trees is that the troops would forget and walk off without them. So they made a 3ft rule and they just lay them down next to them .
Keep the videos coming, always fun.
Thanks!
I was in the army here in Argentina and we use to do this

Robert Showe how the hell does someone forget a rifle in a combat zone?
You would be very surprised how much of the time is not in a combat zone (for most it will be 100% of their career), but you would be even more surprised to know how dumbed down the SOP is because the cannon fodder pawns (I did not name any specific units) are complete forgetful morons. Guys would forget and leave stuff all over the place all the time. If in an actual combat zone, eh down range, you don't want your weapon out of arms reach anytime.
---
Also, most of the old stacks are left over from musket days when the rifles were placed muzzle up in a stacked pyramid to prevent the balls from rolling out. Many many things done in the military even today are left over from old very outdated customs.
All IMO only.
As a kid, I left my loaded air-rifle leaning up against a tree, it fell over and discharged, not a mistake I ever made again!🥺
This is a really interesting video. It is really refreshing to find a channel that is covering kit that just works and is not merely focusing on the latest fab in outdoor gear, or trying to market some overpriced item of gear. Thanks for this video.
Thank you very much Kevin :)
You are a good parent. Even though you know that, it is important that you hear it from time to time. Children need to be educated in nature more. Too many skills are being lost, and children will not have the joy that we did as children making fire and cooking outside. You give your daughter an important gift with an education in nature. Great video, as always.
Food wraps ??
Ooooooh , foot wraps LOL.
That's awesome seeing the Pink one learning about outdoors.
The pink Troll loves the AK. Well trained, well trained. 😄
I think I'll stick with my wool socks, but it's nice to know of another option in case I ever need it. The pink troll is a video star! They grow up too fast! Also, I love Lonny's videos, too.
thanks, I will try it here in South Africa
How very interesting! Never saw that before. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Pink Troll is hilarious!
Hey Lars, I remember reading an old woodcraft book maybe 40 years ago and seeing an illustration of how old-time American woodsmen would place their foot diagonally, corner-to-corner, on a square of fabric, fold the front corner up over the toes, and then the side corners over and across the top of the foot. Looked way easier than your methods, however perhaps not as stable. They would use a similar method to roll up in a wool blanket when sleeping. Also, a high school friend's father was killed when his 12 gauge that was leaning against the fence he was climbing over fell and went off, the blast nearly cutting him in half. I suppose in those days there was no kind of hammer block to prevent the firing pin from being driven forward by the hammer into the primer. I think Ruger and Smith and Wesson were maybe among the first manufacturers to insert a transfer bar between the hammer face and the firing pin so that there would be no contact unless the trigger were pulled. Anyway, when I was growing up, the advice was never to lean your rifle/shotgun against a tree trunk or fence, but to lay it on the ground. No chance of falling over then, although I suppose a scenario could be created where one could still go off if kicked or whatever. Even the stupidest human beings can be extremely clever when it comes to creating disastrous accidents, right Lars? ;-) And finally, my favorite socks winter or summer are the merino/silk hiker socks made by the American company Wigwam. They are thick, both warm and cool, comfortable, and last almost forever, which is good because they are like US$22-24 when you can find them. Several places sell them online. Worth every penny and more. Be careful not to just get the wool Hikers--make sure it's the merino wool/silk version.
Thanks Lars, I'm going to have to give the foot wraps a try.
Hej Lars! On placing rifles: What has happened to the classic "rifle pyramid"??? That's how we used to do it with our G3-rifles "back then" when I was in the German Army. Now with the G36 and it's folding stock, these rifles are often arranged in a nice looking "ring" parallel to the ground. A single rifle is hung muzzle downward from a tree, sure. Good job on instilling this feel for nature in your daughter... My wife & I try something similar with our son...he might not know it consciously now, but I'm sure the positive experiences in nature (NOT the usually boring family camping...) will stick with him for the rest of his life. ATB Gereon PS: My father's dad (*1894...+1961) used to use foot wraps in both world wars and afterwards as a wine farmer, too.
The Pink Princess heard the Cuckoo too. She's well on her way to the study of Zoology or the natural sciences.
Foot wraps are great for foot protection and aiding blood circulation. That would be quite beneficial for people with periferal artery disease or are at risk of thrombosis is or embolism. Those who fly frequently are at higher risk of deadly thrombo-embolitic events due to sitting stationery for extended periods of time with air pressure fluctuations.
We have a lot of Cuckoo's here. Good points Fred :)
Hi Lars,
Yes I think they are good kit. I would like to try some if they can be shipped to the UK. I always get blisters when walking in hot weather wearing socks.
Sandy
It takes practice friend :)
Thanks Lars ,
old flannelet sheet , sissors , snip-snip ,job done! ,.
Well done :)
A little bit more daughter advice. No matter how tricky your plan is she will have one even more tricky.
You are most likely right :)
the pink one should be a Russian survival Lilly in a few years!
and I can say that her father is the only one on YT who manage To make a video about footwraps interesting!
Thanks :)
Beautiful video,, Thank you for sharing your time with your baby girl..
The pink troll was eyeing the shotgun pretty bad.
Awesome video as always Lars!
Nice to see the Pink Troll again.
I'll need to try out those foot wraps sometime. I suppose I'll get them next time I order from Varusteleka.
Going to have to try the wraps. Thanks for the dimensions.
Like many other posts I've become obsessed with trying out the foot wraps too.
I often experience socks falling down in my rubber boots and imagine this method would help with that as the fabric "locks" in place.
Pink troll on good form I see :)
Great video Lars. Treasure every moment that your daughter wants to hang out with you. I will try and buy some cloth and give those wraps a whirl.
I like the Winter Foot wraps the best also Lars. Great video as always.
Varusteleka featured you in their Facebook page :)
Awesome. I did not know that :)
Survival Russia you are also on the front page of varusteleka.
I recently purchased one their ponchos Lars and sent them an email that i'd found their store through your channel :-)
OMG that bacon! Thanks for showing the foot wraps, that could be done with any cloth, looks about 3 feet by 16 inches? Good of you to get the pink one out in the woods, they grow up so fast!
I think that for studies Saint Petersburg is better than Moscow. My Russian girlfriend studies there. She says that it's not as hectic and crowded as Moscow. It's more aesthetically pleasing, as well. Her family has a pretty neat Dacha on the country side there, too.
She might be right :) Moscow is madness.
Nice to see some local wildlife in the shape of that viper. Of course, it was pleasing to see that it quickly slithered away where it would obviously prefer to keep out of harms way itself. I wonder if the little pink troll would take to learning to speak in English, if only to understand what you are saying to us, then she could join in later on and not pull so many of those faces? Yes, I recall seeing those foot raps last year some time, but I don't think that I could take to wearing them. I'm still trying to find the perfect socks to sooth my aching feet. Take care...
Another awesome video Lars. It is deferentially an awesome thing to know how to use foot wraps, never know when you're gonna get stuck somewhere without sucks and I'll take a little discomfort as I adjust to them over having blisters on my feet any day.
I don't know what rifles the Australian army uses. But the M-16 is notorious (or at least was in my day) for that. When the bolt is open it doesn't take much of a jar to slam it home. As it slams home it strips the next round off, puts it into the chamber and actually fires the round. All it really takes is just tapping the butt on the ground and you get a discharge. Why this rifle has been in service this long is beyond my comprehension. I guess it's a testament to Colts ability to put money in all the right hands. Personally, I like the M-14 much better.
Thanks so much.
Snakes are just McNuggets on the run!
I have actually eaten these :)
Paul N yum!
lol, think I am going to get some cloth and try that, thanks for the vid!
We love the pink one.😍
thanks for sharing with us I always learn something from you I appreciate you for taking your time to share your thoughts wish you and yours all the very best until next time my friend
interesting video mate, as usual. The thing with the rifles you was saying about, in the British Army you're not allowed to put them down. They have to be on you all the time or you get a right beasting from the Sgt or even written up on a offence of mistreatment to government property. With the bullpup design there is no need to put them down as you can easily make them into like a skiers sling and keep them ready and accessible on your back and always with you.
Thanks Eddy :)
Those foot wraps are pretty cool stuff. She is her father's daughter! ))))))))
Very good tutorial, definitely helpful even after the other wraps video. The forest princess is coming right along, how about a SR jr? I'm not in rubber boots much to need the foot wraps, but maybe with hiking boots they would be helpful. ok, take care out there and thanks again!
I have Mojave green snakes in my yard...they make a good hat band when you skin them.
Your daughter sure does love her daddy. She is growing up. Teach her well my friend. The day may come when she might need some "survival" skill.
The troll is bigger ...Thanks lars
She is. Thank you too :)
great job the pink troll is reaching for the AK birch tree
Good vid
Thank you.
You and the dwarf are so cute together
Thank you :)
I fear, at the one minute mark, maybe the little pink one has dropped a twig or something into the barrel of your weapon. Maybe not. Thanks for the video.
She was peeling birch bark :)
Ah, I wanted to be sure all is well. Thanks for replying.
Very good information
Thanks!
Yes Lars you have to be tricky to stay one step ahead of you know who.
I'm trying :)
You know I was referring to staying one step ahead of the Russian Yeti.
Awesome as always
Perfekt video. God underholdning og god undervisning i portyanki. Fortsæt de gode og undervisende videoer Lars.
Mange tak! :)
My army carrier never lasted long enough to be issued with a rifle. Im always quite nervous hunting with someone who,s been in the army some of their gun safety is not what i would expect from people who work with guns on a daily basis..
We hunted for a short time with a guy from the british army who always had a round in the chamber no matter what even when you were sighting in a rifle and you would go to check a target his rifle would be back on the bench with a bullet up the spout pointing in your direction.
The final straw was when he had an accidental discharge while unloading his rifle back at the vehicle. The bullet past with in centimeters of my other hunting mates ear from a distance of about a metre. You could imagine the damage it done to his hearing.
Now that is NOT awesome!
Aahh, A-Tacs FG .... that's my favorite camo pattern.
It's a good pattern indeed :)
Portyanki to the masses!
I would imagine you could use them over socks extra insulation ? enjoy her now who knows when she gets older its nice you see her haveing fun with dad. stay safe brother and troll
You can indeed do that. It also prevents the socks from sliding and prevents wear on the heel too.
We used to lay our weapons down when we would take a larger break for what ever reason in 2 columns just like in formation either when training on base or outside in the woods it is more of a discipline thing not the weapons discharging if dropped at least that was done when the stuck up officers where there otherwise ... erh :D
Lars, where did you get those pants? They look like the Russian camo/sniper suit pants but in ATACS-FG.
From an Army supplier in Moscow. Currently they don't ship abroad, but they are working on it :)
Your daughter is too cute.
I bet you that was when they were fielding the Steyr-AUG. They had all kinds of problems with it. And I like your tricky plan! But you need to have a son sometime soon! ;-)
I already have a son :)
I did not know that Lars! Wow, I must have missed that somewhere. Cool. I assume that he is back in Denmark?
No. He is here, but he is younge than my daughter.
Well, that is fantastic brother! Awesome in every way. Congratulations! Can we look forward to say a blue or green troll in the future to accompany the pink troll on excursions? I hope so!
Very interesting, haven't seen that here in the US.
good stuff
Yeah, thats weird. Rifles laying flat on the ground. We would interlock a couple, rest that against a third and lay ten or so more on tipi style.
Maybe if you have your lovely blonds assistant from the knife laboratory assist you? Demonstrate putting on and removing foot wraps?
Lars you allowed your emergency rations to escape, Vipers are edible too but remove a couple of inches behind the head to cut off venom glands then it's ready to cook 👌🏻👍🏻
+great video , I like foot wraps over sock better. they don't squeeze your feet , and feel better! this is something the homeless shelters should teach the homeless to do, in case they run out of socks. you can always find a rag!
Good point actually :)
Thank you for the instructions and information on the foot wraps. I am still interested in the boots as well. Can you give me any information?
What boots? Sorry if I missed out on something :)
The rubber boots you are wearing with the foot wraps. I was wondering if you had info or where to buy. No need to be sorry. Thanks for the reply.
I loved learning this! Can I please get the dimensions of the foot wrap so I can make some? Thank you.
I mention the dimensions in the video. Summer cotton twill 35x90 cm and winter cotton/wool flannel 45x90cm. Cut width to size of foot.
Oh, sorry about that, I was so occupied with watching how you wrapped your foot I didn't even notice. Thank you for giving the dimensions again.
Amazing, I was just looking at foot wraps at the same store just a couple of days ago, and wondering if I should order some or not. The ones they have now are square though, and they wrap differently.
Those types a wraps are good on top of socks and also for laced boots. Here: ruclips.net/video/0-X8YcUHjC0/видео.html
The "Russian" wraps are best for jack boots.
Survival Russia yes, thank you. I just found your other video just after I wrote. Ive never tried them, but I think I will soon.
How well do these work with lace-up boots?
I don't use these much with laced boots. I only tried once and the boot have to be laced really loose.
I like the winter foot wraps better also. Also I like to tuck them in at the top. In this way also one can use them with ankle boots with gaiters.As to the older materials and wool, I love it. Finally putting one's rifle on a tree or hanging it is safe as long as the selector is set at safe. I don't get it at all about putting the rifles on the ground to avoid an accidental discharge. They must have kept their rifles on "FIRE" at all times, even unattended. Really breaking the common sense rules of safe handling of firearms in my view!
Thank you for your input Gene. As always I appreciate it. Have a great weekend!
thank.you for the video on foot wraps. do you wear wool socks with the wraps in winter?
Would you please make a video for the pink one.thanks
Yay! portyanki time! One of these days I will try those. Freya is going to be a beautiful woman Lars! She comes from good stock. This episode helped me to solve an age old question: Since bears do indeed shit in the woods, as you have shown us, I think it is therefore safe to assume that the Pope does like to say mass. 😀
Lars, you need to get her the correct wool hat, then you will be a matched pair.
I am struggling to get proper bacon these days, so I am going to cure my own this year, any tips?
If anyone is wondering what the closest approximate material is to the summer portyanki,
It's calico fabric
Great video, what camo gear are you wearing? Also what's the ame of the camo colour scheme? Cheers
It's a Russian made ATACS pattern suit. Reversible btw :)
How well do the footwraps work for larger feet? I have us size 14 (Euro size 48) and wanted to ask before trying out some of the summer ones (Not much use for the winter ones here in the U.S. Deep South LOL) Thanks in advance and thanks for making awesome videos!
I don't know. They are relatively big and I always cut them down a bit. I use Euro 43.5. However it should not be a problem for you to go and buy some heavy duty cotton twill/flannel. The summer wraps are made of a fabric which are much like the towels in the "towel machines" in public toilets, just a little bit heavier :)
Standard size is 90x35 cm so try and go for 100x45 cm and cut down to size. It's fine that they frail after cutting. You don't want to make any seams on them.
Thanks! I'll have to give them a try! :)
I expect the australian army thing relates back to the time when they used .303 rifles , most of them had appalling safety catches. i prefered the mosin nagant which have a safety like fort knox.
That could be.
in my experience of the L85 they used to strip/fall apart just looking at them haha, later variant no so bad.
Nice video, I almost want to buy some footwraps myself (But I do not need them so I spare it) but for a Couch Potato like me, it just looked a little dangerous in the beginning with your "Pink Troll" so close to the AK muzzle?? I guess it is on safe, unloaded in the chamber and so, but just looked a little dangerous????
back in the 80s I had a "Peace Studies" class in college. I remember our socialist professor who loved all things soviet . showed us a movie from the soviet union about the military. one of the things they showed were solders putting on foot wraps. I remember saying how can the soviet union be so great, they cant even afford socks for their solders. I was wrong about the foot wraps but right about the Soviet Union.
wow, really cool tree trunk chair!(6:43). Did you make it?
No I did not make those chairs :)
Awesome
That bacon chunk though...
great Channel my brother enjoy the pink troll before she grows up going to miss Deputy Dawg
Only smart people can wear these: Note that they are not marked in any way, so you must work out yourself which one goes on the left foot and which one on the right. This also goes for ordering from Varusteleka. Make sure to check your delivery in case they sent you two left wraps accidentally. It happens.
;)
I might have to try them out, what kind of hat is that? Is it a whermact cap or something else?
Hey Lars, whats the patch on your coat say ?
