Glad you enjoyed it!😃👍 Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!!

Poor Justin! I agree, much better to buy them, lol. It was fun to see Andrei in his element, though. Thanks for enduring!

I really like that you reacted to the forest😁😅 It was funny😀 and I understand why. You are not used to it. For us Latvians, it's one of our favorite weekend activities. Just being in the forest and feeling the peace and quiet and listening to the sounds of the forest. Nature is very important in our nation.

Спасибо, что рассмешили меня! Обожаю ваши видео. Скоро еду в Ригу первый раз, уже полюбила этот город. Прошу ещё показать спа. Вроде не нашла ничего такого у вас. Наверное грибы собирать интереснее, чем в спа ходить :-)))

as a latvian who was raised with this, i've never considered it anything more than a fun outing (as long as you were safe w the ticks and all), and a chance to snack on forest fruits -- wild strawberries in particular. as i grew older, i realised how important it was to do this to have food for the cold months, but still never as something crazy. but seeing someone so foreign to it experience it, i can definitely see why you might think it's crazy :'D props to you for trying, though it definitely seems like you could've been warned more before venturing into the forests c': also the walnut biscuits are a childhood favourite of mine, the caramel in the middle is just insane. wonder if you've tried a kartupelis though? the dessert, i mean. it's a cake mass with cocoa and sometimes it's coated in dessicated coconut, and it's shaped like a potato! anyway, been loving your latvia videos, since i first saw a video of yours a week ago, hope the mosquitos haven't ended you + you're doing well!

The Maine forest are FULL of ticks. Check yourself thoroughly 👍

Dont go in long grass and bushes because they're full of tick and getting bitten by a tick can lead to getting lime disease and in can be very dangerous

Ohh, i feel your struggle. I'm latvian and had the same experience as you when i was a child going with my family picking mushrooms. Always the same just one more mushroom and then we are done but its 100+ more always 😂. Nowadays in my 20s i wouldn't go mushroom picking even if you pointed a gun on me 💀

I wiped my tears, drank a glass of vodka and now I can read the comments.

I don't know what I like the most - picking mushrooms or just slowly walking in a forest with a knife in my hand (Latvian joke)

Nice video really enjoyed it, but you accidentaly leaked the place. If the first location wasnt a decoy this is the location 57.124871968030355, 24.658742120234063

Im not into mashrooms, but im a keen berry picker in forests. Just use anti mosquito/tick spray, they work 99.9%. I have never had a tick bite me in 15 years doing berry picking all over forests in Latvia

Lyme disease usually comes from small deer ticks. A dreaded sickness. Always spray well before going into the forest. Chiggers or red bugs are another creature to watch out for.

Wow! You had a blast in Latvian woods! Nice! But don't go to military training grounds, to pick a mushrooms or wild berries. It's not only dangerous, but strictly forbidden and thous soldiers would detain You and will make pay a really huge fine.

It's 1'500 euro fine for picking mushrooms and berries in military training fields. Another important note is protected nature reserves and protected places, wich we have a lot in country and where such activities are also prohibited. You where close to Gauja National Park to.

@@J.E.ENo probs. Replying to comments does help with the algorithm. Of course it’s impossible to reply to every comments if there are thousands of comments on the video, but if you can reply to some of it at least, it does help your channel, according to what I read about it.

Soviet, so not really Latvian. Same goes for fishing with a fishing rod and ice fishing, basket weaving, gardening, collecting wild berries and similar activities that got popularized by government of Latvian SSR. Each of them had periodicals dedicated to the particular activity. Identical in neighboring former iron curtain countries.

What are you talking about? My grandparents picked mushrooms and berries before soviet times. Finland and Sweden wasn't under iron curtain why they pick mushrooms and berries? What is a point of these lies, so weird.

there is literally tens of books and press release on each topic you named (tips and tricks how to collect goods, fish, hunt, trap wild animals, and how to prepare all that stuff) from 1920-30ties Latvian Republic long before soviet occupation.

Also this is literally what hunter gatherers did, don't thin they had Ussr periodicals. Even Neanderthals did fishing, hunting and gathering. The more I think the more ridiculous this comment is. Gardening and basket viewing? My family had farm for hundreds of years in the same place. Nobody could buy plastic or metal baskets in the shops at that time.

@@arita2002 My comment still stands. Swedes, Finns and other non iron-curtain northern Europeans don't do these activities at nearly the (ridiculous) percentage former Soviets do. There is difference between foraging for sustenance(like hunter-gatherers did, when human population was 1/1000 of that of today) and state encouraged waste of time in a modern industrial population.
