Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on RUclips, 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!

They taught us in the Romanian army that if you make the knots at 20 cm apart you can then use the jungle cord as a ladder/stirrup to climb a tree or a rock face. You just tie the main end through your bayonet hole, throw it around a limb of the tree and up you go. 🙂
That's very practical, thank you!
@@ryanharris6045 imagine if the bayonet grappling hook came down I expectedly 😏 💀 🩸 🗡️ 🌳
Same I did learn in Latvian army
Yeah but did you eat the bollocks?
Same thing here in the US
Back in my childhood I remember my grandfather had a cordage like that and I saw how useful it was.. I made my first one and I wanted it 5 feet long so I got a 10 foot piece and doubled it.. when I was done with the knots it was just way to short and I couldn't figure out why it was..That was back in the 50's.. today I still have that cord, though I have made many others since, it is just way too handy not to have some around. But I keep my old cord to remind me to think and understand what I am doing instead of just copying someone else. Well done Lars.. the great outdoors teacher..
hey. some rope/cord/line info for anyone interresred.... cordage of that sort is often constucted like climbing line/rope (the same as cheap cotton clothes-line).... it is called kern-mantle, meaning a braided cylindrical skin of fibers around a core of non or less woven fibers. If the core strands stretch it is termed dynamic kernmantle. if it does not, that is static kernmantle. the long climbing ropes are dynamic (to absorb the shock of a fall) shorter lengths used as rigging loops use static... aboard a ship we termed almost anything 'line' except "wire-rope." !
Lars thanks for the info. I live in rural Maine and have been an outdoorsman all my life. Some years more active then others and to varying degrees. You have enspired me to get back to basics. All to often we get sucked into the trap of gadgets and gear that can be purchased . Your work on this channel is crucial for folks to learn how to do it the old ways. Times are changing and oddly I think we are headed to another "dark age" in terms of the knowledge being lost. We have so much data at our finger tips nowdays but very little actual knowledge. Thank you and keep up the great work.
wise words . . .
Thanks for the lesson Lars. happy that your house is coming along. You are amazing. Happiness to you and your family.
Thank you! 😃
Thanks Lars, The British call these Jungle Knots, the toggles really help with securing the loose end to a tree or whatever. You can really get it tight if you use the toggle to tension the line before locking it down.
Paracord has a core of small, individually twisted white "kern", which are removable and can be used to make nets, repair clothing, smaller projects, etc. So keep some unknotted!
Thats cool, Thanks!
I love my Survival Russia hoodie! Thanks Lars!
on the farm we would take standard hemp style rope with stop knot at end and braid splice a short piece along side leaving a similar split this served as a end clasp for all tasks
Thanks for sharing your version and technique! You have inspired me to go out to the shop and get busy... ☮
Interesting and useful. Will make one before my next trip.🙂
I sent this video to 2 of my friends that has camping channels, I always enjoy watching your channel,
I was just tying a couple 50 footers. Good timing.
I use several (3) one liter plastic water bottles . They fit along the the back panel of my pack ,, and offer redundandcy in case of puncture/failure of one bottle. Also ,, the "jungle" knots are a great piece of kit . Quick up , quick down ... GREAT channel ,,, no B.S. ,, good ole Danish/Russian country boy 👍👍👍👍👍
I've noticed since the pink ninja was 16 months old, the birches have over taken much of your forest. There is plenty of fire starting material but also more poor branches just waiting for you to sit down.
I will watch again to make it. I do have the rope. Thankyou it would also make a good gift.
I use 2 nails. One, as in this video, for the primary anchor, the other as the spacer, which can also be used to 'run' the knot up to. Once the knot is tied, move the knotted rope up one link on the anchor and tie the next knot, etc.
ETA. Just a reminder that a narrow rope like that, tied closely to a tree can seriously damage or kill it, so this is another good reason to not put too much weight on it, such as a human bearing hammock :)
Thanks for that reminder. It's easy to overlook the damage we may be doing. Anything soft and pliable can pad the loop. Rags, newspaper, etc.
Very cool video lars. as always very practical and informative. Nice that you are still on RUclips. Please keep it up and don't let it get you down Best regards
I've got a workshop full of para cord. Going to try this
Excellent! There needs to be a Survival Russia hand book.
SUPER Awesome channel ,,,,, great info ,,,, common sense, REAL WOLRD camping , survival, woodscraft , and homesteading experience. Stay safe my friend 👍👍
Thanks for the tutorial. I've always just kept my cordage in its original configuration, but I can see how this would be helpful for quick ridgelines. I'll have to try it now.
Thanks that was a good Shout, I use tarps with parachord, toggles, prussacks and crabs. Got a good 20m of good para chord to make one of these and try it out, cheers, house is looking great
Thanks Lars for the video I'll probably make some of these with my kids as a project
:) still cool. I also quite like that jacket. Id wear it
In America we use 550 paracord and #36 bank line. I have a Molly pouch on my pack dedicated to various cordage, rope and string. Another pouch is a extensive fire kit, another is water purification and another is a boo boo medical kit.
This is 550 cord...
@@SurvivalRussia 👍 I have a couple of “Ridge lines”, but I will make one of these also.
Good to revisit some of your old tricks
u r the man, i mean it! thank you for that awesome cord, i´ve never heard of it before and i totally will go for it, in the next days! best wishes from bavaria
Good video Lars, the jungle cord seems like a good idea, but the para cord is more important than putting in all these knots. More than one way to string a taught line between to trees.
Lars, where is you old-school gear?! Just watched some of your older videos, and I remembered 4 years ago, you often had some wool stuff with you. Why not anymore?
Thanks for the video
Best Channel on RUclips..!
LoveYa Man ! ! !
Buying coffee is VERY easy 😁
I do mine using 3mm comms cord, I start it off on a wooden toggle with a hole drilled through the middle, it makes it easy to join several lengths, I make mine about 6 or 8 feet long, it makes them more versatile, so you don’t have loads of spare ends trailing. I use it for tying off my tarp. It’s certainly plenty strong enough for that purpose and, they don’t take up loads of room, like paracord does- even though it’s only 3mm thick, it’s doubled up, so equivalent to 6mm cord. I certainly couldn’t snap it when I tried! It’s also handy for hanging a mess tin over the fire using the toggle, the knots make it easy to adjust height- I make my knots about 2 or 3 inches apart for maximum versatility in adjustability.😁.
I should give a shout out to Greencraft, who suggested the toggle idea on his channel- I believe he based it on the toggle rope system that our British Commandos used in WW2, theirs were 6 feet long, made from rope, that could be joined to make ladders etc.
Glad to see you!
Greetings from London, England.
Thank You for this video.
I like that idea ( pre knotted twin lines ). No need to use a truckers hitch to tension stuff with this method.
It's very fast.
A Tautline Hitch doesn't require all the other knots in the main line and is infinitely adjustable...
Great thing to make all kinds of uses
Now I know! Thank you sir!
Brings back memories.
Awesome Thanks for doing this video. Stay Safe.
Thank you!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Ahh. Thanks for this video. Awesome!
I didn't either,I was trying to work out how you made it from the video
Love the “Rifleman’s Creed” reference lol.
This is a really neat idea. Right now my favorite method is using a beckett hitch =)
I want to see how you do the walls and I dang sure want to see how the wood fireplace is done on the home. Now I am going out to make a jungle cord. Thanks
Hi from London. Incredible knowledge Sir, Thank you! Subscribed!
Thanks and welcome!
Nice you taught me something today thank you
What a great video!
Fine video sir. Thank you.
That is an excellent idea and I believe that is something I will add this to my hunt bag. I see that also as building kit addition 👌
Thanks Lars I never heard of it but you demonstrated the usefulness of it that now I must try it. Looks like a practical tool. Thanks again.
Your videos are always very beautiful. Hello, good day👍👋
Thank you very much!
Water does not compress like air , so a full water bottle will burst much more easy than a 3/4 full bottle I think .
Also, it tends to break where hardness makes it brittle the soft parts compensate until it stresses the hard parts, then it tears.
I use a partially filled 2l bladder as additional hip padding on my belt kit.
A very practical piece of cordage Lars. At your campsite, you may want to consider a rainwater collection system off the roof of your shelter.
Thank you Lars. I bought a Jerven bag because of your recommendation and now I know another tip👍 Awesome.
Good choice!
Thank you for an awesome tip.
The Jungle Cord/Knots/String was used specifically by British Troops in Asia fighting the Japanese for hanging Hammocks. In fact, Decathlon make a Hammock that comes with their own Jungle Cord/Knots/String for suspending it. When I filmed my version, I used a full 30 metres which I think, it came out as 10 metres long as Jungle Cord. I usually work on a knot every 4-5 fingers distant apart.
I did not knew it went that far back.
Solognac Furtiv Hammock 👍
Nice Tutorial thanks for sharing Lars!
Thank you!
I didn't know about this and I must say what a brilliant idea . So thank you Lars , I will be making one for sure .
This is why I use steel flasks or bottles. Almost impossible for them to leak, and much better for you in the long-run. Flasks are also very good in winter for always having a hot drink available. Steel bottles are good for putting in the sleeping bag with you for warmth. Downside is of course the weight and bulk of it.
Anyways this was very helpful. I was literally looking for video on how to make these last night and couldn't find anything
I keep a stainless World War 2 canteen on each of my load bearing equipment and a stainless water bottle in each rucksack. Great for boiling water to purify.
@@ColKorn1965 That too, just don't ever try boiling with a flask! I usually bring a kelly kettle with me so I don't need to boil in the bottle, but definitely another benefit. Sometimes for convenience I will take a plastic bottle with me, but always strapped to the outside of the pack (and everything inside the pack that needs to stay dry is in a dry bag).
@@LaughingMan44 my canteens have the canteen cup with them, so there's the boiler
@@ColKorn1965 From what I hear they not only don’t issue canteen cups anymore, they don’t even issue canteens! Camelbak only! I LOVE my canteen cup! Getting harder to find and more expensive too.
Good video Lars , have a great day , God bless !
Thanks, you too!
Ain't watched yet but looks great, how about another update from stores and gas station??? And describe how each item has raised or lowered by how much approximately PLZ????
Definitely something useful Thanks Lars
Glad you think so! Thank you for the views buddy :)
Pretty darn handy trick!
I learned something new!!
😁👍
If you put the first overhand knot in the middle you have half as much length to pull through and then you go back to the middle and go the other way.
Thanks Lars
Outstanding
I did not know. Thanks man
Great trousers where did you get them from
Thank you , Lars .
🐺
Thank you too :)
I haven't tried that yet, but I made painful experience with 550 paracord knots when I tried to fit my hammock between trees that where too far away. The 550 holds up to 250kg they say, but knots kill themselves if you're using them for hammocks. At least if you're weighted around 130kg and upwards. 🤣👌 That's why youre not allowed to knot round slings for cranes and all that together because it drastically weakens them.
A water bottle blow out is less than ideal but there are much worse forms of blow out. A front tire blow out at speed on a motorcycle or a blow out into the seat of your underwear while deep in the forest with no toilet paper. Greetings from northern Canada .
I would have much hesitation over using a plastic bottle again just the one event would convince me to go aluminum. And I always carry a roll of TP as I have had the misfortune before.
Hammock straps, clothesline, safety harness (by sitting in it while made into a loop), firewood carrier, pack cinch, and base line for a debris shelter. Awesome thing. I learned about it from Blackie Thomas on youtube.
Very interesting bro!
Nice! House iz looking good 👍
❤️🧂🪖 much love Lars
Lars you got silky saw, jungle cord, gun and all that good stuff but you carry water in plastic bottle its not your style you need some clever, wild way to do it 😅🇱🇻🤘
I have noticed a lot of ppl here in NZ have gone full cycle through expensive bottles, bladders, flexible roll-up bottles and systems etc and eventually gone back to reusing empty plastic bottles as they are cheap, easy to find anywhere, they work well, and they are cheap. :)
We call it paracord( because our parachutes use this), they sell paracords with the "guts" having wires, fishing line,s etc. An excellent survival chord. I pulled a truck from a ditch using paracord...:P
Cool! Never seen that before! I knew I'd learn something from ya! 🙂
Glad I could help!
Hi Lars and family, thanks for another interesting video mate, when I get enough 550 I'll have to try this, what I have at the moment seems to be in short lengths, I wonder who's been cutting it up,lol . Looks like your starting to wall in the new house, can't wait to see how that is done. Stay safe all of you, Best wishes to you and family. Stuart Uk.
nice one lars !! jeg kendte den ikke men den giver sgu go mening og man er fri for at bruge tid på at binde osv
Stay well Lars.
Nice NICE Cordage trick, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ❤
ok THKS
The wedgie brand is the best 👌
Good video Lars, I've seen something similar before. As always the simplest ideas are usually the best. Keep It Simple Stupid.
You mentioned weight lass. Just an observation but there is a visible difference between Lars pre-COVID and Lars post-COVID. Have you noticed any difference yourself. Specifically in your physically or mentally abilities.
That virus certainly takes it out of peoples stamina via their cardiorespiratory performance. But also for some, mental capability is reduced too. A friend of mine with a vegetable and fruit retailers business has had to employ people to compensate for his drop in ability.
Beast wishes to you and your family.
thanks
You're welcome!
This is a great idea. you only gotta learn 1 knot and it's ready to use in the dark by feel. So you still carry the nails and wire?
Of course I do.
Yes I never heard of this
i also like these super market water bottles, but i use smaller ones and put some of them always in the side pockets of my back packs (more than one 😎 helps also to minimize risk 😀)
did you get the bricks you are using to build the stove in the house before you put the walls up? It is a lot easier to get the bricks in before the walls are up
Thai's probably sound advice
Is it strong enough for use as a daisy chain for a hammock?
I used to hang my hammock with paracord jungle knots. It worked well, until after about a year the sun and weather weakened the paracord so much that it broke. No surprise, I saw it coming. I use a different rope, now, which holds for a few years longer already. My weight: below 160 lbs. We tested it with a buddy of mine, 220lbs, it still held up fine.
