So much pristine, untouched wilderness. Unexplored mountains, rolling landscapes.
Had anyone gone out here before? I assume it's what's europe would've looked like many hundreds of years ago

Tbh rivers are the only way I'd consider doing it
soon™
>it's what's europe would've looked like
No, it's not. It's too inland, so winters are harsher and summers are hotter. And it's generally much colder – look at the latitudes, it's on average 15° north to Europe.
It's still mostly untouched wilderness. The one real chance to see some truly old growth forests.
Honestly with Russia's birth collapse, once Putin dies and his succession struggle falls apart, you'll probably be able to buy big tracks of land and do whatever you want to for a pittance there.
Is this what wishful thinking looks like? Let me guess, it will all happen in just 2 weeks?
Anyways, land here is not that expensive, especially if you buy it from the municipality.
There's some Australians, Germans and Americans living in the Altai region.
Im German, can I come over ?
>you'll probably be able to buy big tracks of land and do whatever you want to for a pittance there.
Can't you already do that?
These places are empty because life there isn't worth it, so they aren't worth much. You can pretty much do anything since nobody will bother to actually check on you out there.
I live in Siberia. Ask yours questions
How are the winters?
Not him but its siberia, its one of the coldest places on earth.
Cold, of course. The lowest temperature I remember is -46C. Subjectively, the wind affects more than the temperature.
How much of your food do you hunt/fish for?
I hunt only in grocery store
Are the trains reliable?
I've actually been planning to travel through Siberia by train.
Trains are reliable. More reliable than other transport at the moment in Russia. Although the guerrillas regularly derail freight trains now
You're washed by Russian propaganda. I live in a country of Orthodox fascism and the power of kleptocracy. This country is doomed to collapse
Found the redditor
I 100% believe you really are from siberia.
Is it true that Mosquitos are a big problem there?
Yes. In the forest all time. In the city only in the evening.
can you get gun and hunt there, how hard is it to acquire a rifle there?
As far as I've heard civvies in russia can get guns there but only if part of the barrel is smooth-bored ? Do you hunt ?
they managed to about wipe out the wolves in areas with shotguns.
Its very easy to have a gun around in Siberia.
Rural people in russia are as redpilled as it gets but also indifferent. Total disillusion with government and civilization. Everyone knows the people can't change the system and all systems are bad. It would just become more corrupt if you try to change it. People look the other way as much as they can (because they are good people) and try to stay clear of functionaries and everyone involved with the government etc.
After a certain number of years owning “shotguns”, you can apply for a rifle license. Whether or not you get it will be dependent on oblast government.
packraft. don't go too late in autumn because flights get canceled when the ground is frozen then you are stuck with Russians for the winter.
Not for newbs. You often need to carry 4 weeks of supplies and you are completely on your own in case of emergencies.
>you are completely on your own in case of emergencies
It's hilarious and pathetic that this even needs to be said
friendly reminder that this is JAPAN and ALWAYS HAS BEEN
Is it? A bunch of the large islands east of Hokkaido are Japanese and probably Sakhalin too. but I don't see how Kamchatka is.
Which far eastern Russian city is the best to visit? In the summer of course.
Visit Russia is a bad idea. At least now. Wait for NATO liberate us. Or China in case of East Siberia
>Liberated by China
kek
Exactly.
Even China looks better than Pupa's fascist regime
It doesn't for Sibera, look at google earth along the Amur river. China is built up right to the edge, intense farming. A lot of it is wilderness on the other side, there is farming but it isn't like what China are upto.
Bro, as bad as it is do you really want to be a part of the New World Order? Europe and the US are starting to ban Bitcoin, to have full control over your life. If NATO takes over Russia, there will be no other country to resist.
>how do you do, fellow russians?
>china
>~~*liberate*~~
Vladivostok oc
Is russia nice or shit? I will move there and learn Russia if they gonna give me some free land. I already know two languages whats one more.
Sounds like great trout fishing city gay. Sign me up.
Russian wilderness is comparable to the undeveloped parts of far northern Canada. If you don't mind the cold and the horrible quantity of bugs when it's not cold, it's beautiful because you can pretend that Humans haven't ruined the earth.
Unless you get within 200 km of a major town, in which case the non-existant soviet environmental controls and post soviet degredation of what had existed before means it's the unholy combination of Gary Indiana, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and the refinery near Eilesen AFB in North Pole Alaska. Don't eat the fish, the heavy metals content will kill your brain as fast as drinking industrial cleaning spirits, Speaking of, that's what everyone does for fun, along with low purity opioids and some meth.
Not only does everything suck, but there's no longer any hope for improvement, just a longing for when things sucked but at least half the world sucked just like they did.
Just go to Canada.
Also in Canada you take guns innawoods
Who ever designed the buildings there is an absolute legend.
Why does russia look so bleak on google maps? Most western places i look at look green and lively
All the good land has a long, long history of use
St Petersburg if you want a European experience, Moscow Is also a great choice.
>imagine being this much of a homosexual
its a shithole. check the streetview. the rivers are just those boring stony things for hundred miles with nothing but boggy taiga forest.
enjoy lol theres prob a rzn no one goes there or has done anything
The reason is that all of the rivers flow north-south and are therefore not helpful for navigation. Thus all development has to follow road or rail line, and that's a piss poor way to haul bulk goods or do resource exploitation.
I sold construction equipment fluid heaters and helped the actual equipment companies to coordinate installation, service, and operator training in the various post-soviet states from the 90s until our produce went on the sanction lists because Putin pissed in everyone's cheerios because he couldn't get what he wanted by merely poisoning Ukrainian politicians. I kept selling in the central asian republics until 2018, when the company I worked for was bought out by Phillips and Temro.
In the 90s, everyone was poor, but there was hope that things would get figured out and then things would get better, the world would stop leaving them behind. By 2009, quality of life for the workers was worse than Kazakstan, but the people on the take in the government went from using bribery to help keep departments staffed and people fed to accumulating vast wealth and cutting out the others instead of cutting them in. I made a fair number of friends there, but I'm glad I don't have to go back, Russia in 2013 was scarier than Russia in 1993, and in 1993, I had my documents taken by the military and was denied consular access while they detained me for 3 days because no one could believe that an American was be going to road construction sites in Siberia and the guy in the Federal Government of Yakutia who had set everything up couldn't vouch for me because he had spent his "tip" on methylated spirits and nearly died.
Sweet info. This is what I enjoyed about PrepHole a decade ago, there was lots of good stuff like this.
> Government of Yakutia who had set everything up couldn't vouch for me because he had spent his "tip" on methylated spirits and nearly died.
I didn't know they had abbos in the russian far east, lol.
lmao the place was raped by hyperboreans 30k years ago
it's a bit too huge imo. travelling is a pain and it's not easy to find reliable guides. has been worth it so far though
>guides
This piece o land is one if the reasons I like the Far East of Russia, imagine the adventures you can have there, i know there was a army guy that did some exploration with his native buddy there.
I've lived and worked in the absolute middle of nowhere in Siberia.
First of all, it's nothing like Europe ever was, secondly, it is indeed as beautiful as you can imagine. Temperatures at -50C are something though; walk outside and instantly you are in agony because you can feel your eyeballs freezing, everything hurts, it's a weird "burning sensation", does make you feel very alive though
does anyone remember that anon who lives in central russia with his russian wife, i think he is american ? but the photos looked comfy asf
I lived in south Siberia, used to hike the Sayans and Hamar-Daban with my parents as a kid. It was nice, except for the risk of polio and tons of mosquitos in the lows.
>I assume it's what's europe would've looked like many hundreds of years ago
Unfortunately the closest much of Russia comes to is interior Scandinavia. If you go to the same latitude as France, Germany, or Poland it's an arid steppe. If you go north to where the the trees are, it's going to be dominated by twiggy short lived species like silver birch and Scotch pine due to the cold. Basically no beech or oak trees, which dominate old forests in western Europe.
So much empty, wasted land. Too far north for much agriculture. Meanwhile, everywhere else, people are unsustainably living on top of each other.
