    Yo Julius! You are very brave man . Not because of bear activity and relying on the "beer spray":) only because the border patrols. They may be a bit sppoky in this uncertain days. Anyway you survived again and done so well on your own, in yet another amazing adventure in my mother country. I am sitting on my sofa in London apartament and I am well jell of your experience in such a wild part of Bieszczady Mountains. Since I watched the super stunt which should break the internet, when you and your cousin broke the ice and survived the night after , I am a massive fan of you guys. I think the TV contract will land on your doorstep very soon. You defo deserved to be recognised as a proper survivalist , craftsman and video producer. I am still waiting for the proper roundhouse living experience promised :P Take care bro and keep doing what you are doing. Thank you ever so much for that.

    Videos like this always remind me of the reason I hike. The sigh at 11:34 is precisely why I love hiking. You breathe and realize the world is still magical at that moment. You can find moments like this in your backyard, but it just takes time to slow down and open your eyes. Please continue making these amazing videos Smooth and hopefully you can continue to show everyone how take a moment and enjoy the magic.

    Great video! You are bear brave (and border guard brave too.) Eating away from sleeping -- really hard in the cold. I once did a float/fishing trip with 6 people in 3 canoes in bear country in early spring, not as cold as this, and we set up a sleeping camp and cooking camp a ways apart, and moved almost every day. We had good bear bag, food way up tree. But we were even told not to keep our cooking clothes in the tent! We cooked two meals a day so whoever cooked changed clothes a lot, storing clothes was a pain, and the clothes we fished in smelled like fish so how is that any better??
    I am afraid your food back on a stick is not a good bear solution. Bear will knock down the stick for sure.

Show us on th mountains, in th winter time all of those edibles that you can find, so that th lost skier, can gather some form of food source for an increase of moral, as well as a boost of his energy needs. Thank you!!! B-Strong, B n Christ.

    I can't see much of your sleep system. So you had a thermal undershirt, a cotton undershirt and that jacket and that's it for clothing? I can see what looks like a bivouac (bivy) bag, but I guess you had at least a mattress.
