that's some weird art performance

some guy from city traveled across Urals mountains and was posting videos and instagram photos, so its a blogger type shit, if you not into it, don't bother. In some of the videos views are intresting, but without Russian knowledge you don't get it

 

ehh, i was hoping these were the real pirates of carribean type shit ships out of nowhere, but from this distance they look smol

I want to visit Russia so badly

You don't

Yes I want man, I learned Russian for one year because I was bored in the first months of covid and I want to try to use my skills.

 

Also I want to walk/bike around in the ural mountains as well.

 

t. nature and language fetishist

Russians Do not like narkomen though

narkomen?

why should i care?

Are you sure its a real wish and not just a fantasy? Watch a video and you will understand what i mean

Yes it's a real wish. I want to sse the caucasus, the ural mountains, the lake baikal and many more.

Also want to see SPB because my mum used to study there and often used to tell me stories.

 

It's not like I want to cross the entore mountain range like the crazy dude in OP.

 

Also, exploring foreign supermarkets and trying all the unknown snacks and drinks is a passion of me.

well, good luck if true. you can ask advice here and post pictures with a few day lag so some weirdo wouldn't track you down

 

i also have a dream of goint to China, want to see the rocket launch from Hainan island. COVID-19 broke all the plans, China closed the border. But maybe next year after olympics they will open up enough to let me through

Worry not, me and my outdoor bros will be alright.

 

Where did you plan to go in China?

 

t. wants to visit tibet

China = shit

First i'll visit Hainan island and travel on foot from Sanya to Wenchang

 

then later Jiuzhaigou - a place with magical waters

 

and laters Fenghuang

 

or Xi'an (because i saw this city in the Legend of demon cat movie)

 

I'd be happy if i could visit just one of these places really

I want to see the great wall because I think mongolians are cool, Tibet is very interesting too and some buildings in Beijing I guess.

 

You might be a bit biased since your government is letting in a lot of chinamen

I can show you Ural mountains if you understand what I mean

I'm afraid I don't.

Do you mean pictures?

No, I can show you Ural mountains

You want to show me the mountains irl?

Are you ans gay BVLL?

No. I can show you Ural mountains.

i don't get it

I CAN SHOW YOU URAL MOUNTAINS. I WAS THERE, I HAVE EXPERIENCE OF WEEKS LONG HIKES, I HAVE ALL THE NEEDED AS TENTS, SLEEPING BAGS, GAS STOVE, MATS, BACKPACKS, ETC. I EVEN HAVE 2 INFLATABLE CANOE BOATS. WHAT IS NOT UNDERSTANDABLE THERE?

Oh, that would be cool!

when do we go?

 

t. serious

1 for how long

2 what you prefer rafting or hiking

3 I don't know, get visa

1 hm, 2 or 3 weeks?

2 done both and love both but its probably more ebin to walk on the top of the mountains for ural first timers?

 

i planned to visit russia next year after i ended my appranticeship in early summer when hopefully covid is over

 

 

are you actually down for this?

when are you free?

 

 

my brother will most likely join me btw, we're good company to hang out with and do outdoor stuff

I will go to Ural in May 100%, just after ice melts to make some rafting. My big journeys I usually do in August because less mosquitoes and ticks

Will you keep posting here? Because I sure will.

 

If you don't mind having us around we'd never say no to a new friend and local tour guide :D

Also Subpolar/Polar Urals is the best place for a newcomer to explore I think.

1. Mountains covered with tundra, moss, grass

2. Taiga biome

3. Wild animals like reindeer and bear

4. Highest peaks of Ural

5. Hardcore Northern nature and winds

6. You can drink vodka with deer herders if you meet them

7. Waterfalls and rivers with clearest water

8. No civilization for hundreds km around, only untouched forests

hmm keep us updated I might join too, hopefully I bring gf with me too

fug

 

ebin

 

OMG there must be many ebin spots to do takigyo (picrel)

ive always had this little urge to ask you to be my local slovenia tour guide lmfao

Also shitton of mosquitoes and little flies that eat your flesh

anti mosquito spray is not enough?

It will for for few minutes

fug... so what do you do against it?

train your mosquito tolerance by endurimg the pain?

Use special kind of clothes

My father told me, in Ural old deduschkas go to the mountains to collect Crystals. The amount of the money that they make with the Crystals is just enough to buy food.

It's not very easy to find them. I know there are few abandoned gulag quartz mines, I found fee crystals near them.

Yeah he also said they know the good places because they doing that over generations.

They also fing diamonds and gold after miners, because miners sometimes are not very accurate

The Gulag prisoners steal Gold from the sluice box by the help of spiders.

this is sissy tier

 

he would've crossed entire russia from west to east if he had balls

You can go east just via roads and cities, though. Up north the infrastructure is much worse.

lolol I'd totally do it provided I'm not ultra busy exactly that time I enjoy talking to strangers too much to give up that opportunity

okay

then he could've crossed entire russia from northeast corner to northwest corner

 

crossing russia from south to north is like crossing chile from west to east. it's sissy tier

neat, i'll ask you ans week in advance or so when i feel i could spend some time walking through slovenia and the weather is nice

 

does slovenia control people at the border coming by train from germany?

no idea lolololol

you're supposed to have those euro vax pass QR codes with you, or a vax proof / PCR test / doctor proof of having had chink coof; but I'm not sure how much they check those

I can ask my cousin he been to rome with gf last week he probably knows how much they were checking him on return

 

additional info: I went hiking to austria this summer (car) and at the border he just asked where I going and let me through

going back, nothing at all
