Not to throw down the academia card, but I'm currently working on a degree in Mongolic and East Asian studies. I've read literally hundreds of books about the Mongols and Genghis (actually Chinggis) Khan and written several papers. My passion for the subject cannot be overstated. The 13th century Mongols are endlessly fascinating linguistically, culturally and historically. Their brutality, in some instances, was exaggerated, but not by that much. Chinggis and his sons were responsible for the massacre of tens of millions of people, up to 10% of the world's population. Some Khans encouraged exchange and tolerated (key word being tolerated) religious freedom while others executed Muslims on the spot for performing halal slaughter. While it's essential to view the Mongols in the context of their time and with cultural nuance and depth, the sheer scale of destruction was appalling even by the standards of the 13th century. There's a reason the Mongols are frequently described (and describe themselves) in primary sources as divine punishment or a natural disaster. Something like this had simply never been seen before. While turbulence and war were common, destruction on this scale was not. I should add: none of this is meant to criticize, simply to offer historical and textual accuracy.

The fact that the place you wanted to go to has now got a fence around it may mean it has become a popular local destination. A fee is probably being charged to keep the place clean.

They are free for locals. Privileged white tourists like yourself made it a commodity. I lived with a Buryat tribe in Siberia near the boarder of Mongolia and their only access to development is ecotourism - so yes, you have to pay because this place IS NOT YOUR REAL ANCESTRAL HOME!

@@Ribastein it’s also common practice in places that have a history of chiefs and clans, like in the South Pacific, that the family of the chief of a clan will collect small fees when they own property that has a resource of interest like a fishing hole or beaches in Samoa. This is an ancient concept not a modern one. Ancient stories of sharks and mealstroms, while true in some places, were played up in other places to keep people away from fishing holes so that the families who had generations of stewards could control the situation or hoard it. On the other hand the ancient concept of building tourist or ‘pilgrim’ destinations is what the whole idea of “If you build it. They will come” is based on. In the US the National Parks which are jewels of the world were created specifically because it was getting to the point where small operators were carving up land ownership to clutter vistas with competing vendors and getting violent. Iceland is experiencing the same situation . Young inexperienced You Tubers especially with drones sometimes don’t realize that natural vistas as now having to be made drone free so that the parks can license any productions so that the parks’ image and mission and revenue and resources can be better managed for all to enjoy.

This one was a bit difficult to watch..... Came off as an entitled tourist and started to cry when a small village ruined her "natural and exploring" narrative. You literally followed a road with signs to a village...... Like everyone else said, it's a small guarded village on a tiny side of a big lake. Most likely has a guard from the local government to protect the water or protect from illegal dumping. Could've just asked why they were there and learn about the area and culture. Mongolia as a whole is pretty empty. A simple google search renders "A vast, incredibly sparsely populated country is 99.7% empty".

I traveled for 10,000+ miles in Mongolia to the far corners and of that 80 were on tarmac. I wild camped the whole time and would often drive for days in unbridled wilderness and freedom. To be upset about the wilderness being taken over in one small lake that provides local income insanely close to the capital city in relative terms just seems on the hunt for a narrative that whilst has some truth is probably least evident in Mongolia. If you’re crying about development in Mongolia I would urge you to drive for 10 mins in any direction. I think this is way too simplistic a take on this subject (for the views) and when in such an awe inspiring place it deserves a more thoughtful and retrospective understanding.

@tserendolgorts7536 14 күн бұрын

yeah, also as a Mongolian I am kinda irritated about that simplistic comment. I was bit confused and worried when I saw the title of how "wild camping went badly in Mongolia" and was also very interested how Eva felt in my country. Of course it's not ideal that the nature doesn't stay open and free to all as a concept. But it is a lake that's not really far away drive for mongolian perspective and still keeps its wild nature. I've been there two times and already the second time I realized the increase of visitors this place has becoming and sadly losing its wilderness. So I think it is better to keep it regulated and someone collects small amount of fee and do the work rather than becoming one of those highly visited, polluted lake by the (unfortunately not so responsible) campers most of the time. I do agree with her sentiment of how it is very sad that everywhere the nature is getting less and less wild. But having this reaction in a country, where you can literally drive a little bit far and you DO find wild nature, feels kinda entitled.

This is not how it should be in my opinion. Natural wonders are public goods, and should be kept in great condition through other ways than privatisation.

I haven't commented on KZfaq before, but I feel compelled to share my thoughts. As a Mongolian, I often look forward to travel vlogs about Mongolia, since it's a different perspective on my home country. However, this video has greatly upset me. You took a commercial flight to Mongolia, contributing to carbon monoxide emissions that are harming our planet and causing climate change. You complain about urbanization ruining our 'ancestral home', yet you drive a car and camp in our wilderness, which you say needs to be protected. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Why can't you stay at designated campsites and hostels, thus supporting the local economy? Why do you need the 'real experience' to camp in the wilderness? You can go do that in your home country. If you've been to Mongolia multiple times, why don't we see you actually conversing and making connections with local Mongolians? Instead of throwing a tantrum at the sight of a fenced-off lake, you could have asked the locals and understood the reason. Better yet, if you wanted the 'real experience,' offer your help to a Mongolian family and work on a Mongolian homestead for two weeks. This will give you a better understanding of the country you're visiting. And please do not romanticize Mongolia, I know it's beautiful, but we are a land and people with our own thoughts, opinions, and problems like any other country. As a travel vlogger, please do better and educate yourself before going to another person's home.

Spot on. She is, sadly, an immature, self-absorbed attention-seeker, and that is a clear fact based on many of her videos. She is doing these trips to try to convince herself that she's special. Many, many people have traveled across the globe since the 1960s, many of them on foot, on a bike, on a motorbike, etc. She things that she and her little jeep are something unique or attention-worthy. She should realize it is only unique to her because it's her life and it's natural you will think of every experience you have as unique, that's completely normal and should also be enough to make you feel content or even happy - but she can't accept that, so she keeps chasing the attention part of it all. Most of her videos start and end in the same way - she starts off with some sad scene, claiming that something disastrous had occurred, and by the end you realize it was just another molehill that the tantrum-throwing Millennial made into a mountain - with one simple intent which is to make you want to watch the rest of the video.

@NanjinKlein thank you for sharing your thoughts. Her main objective in Mongolia was the ultra marathon and I see this as a prolog episode. She just expressed her feelings and disappointments, more in general than to your country in particular. It seems to me that she's effectively contributed by paying the fee. Other things you are suggesting maybe are not the best to ask to an introverded person seeking adventures.

@WombatBrunft 12 күн бұрын

Sorry to say that, but travel influencers are also a part of the problem. They visit some very beautiful places and crate the urge in other people to visit these places too. Thus creating tourism there. I really respect all your hard work and sharing all of this with us, but I also have to say it always feels a bit strange and even makes me sometimes mad/sad that I don’t own a car or use planes in respect to climate change (I could afford a car and flying), limiting myself in traveling very much. While many other people don’t even seem to care and also many travel bloggers/influencers go everywhere and so on. Why should there only be a few people being entitled to see these places? Or drive around in such vehicles and fly everywhere every few weeks? It is fine to feel sad about this, but then also reflect and accept being part of the problem. edit: Many other people seem to have similar thoughts about this in the comments and I really hope that you could address this in a future video. Because you always come across as a very decent and intelligent human being and should give this some thoughts. Not to mention the Genghis Khan stuff.

My parents couldn’t do what you do very much when they were younger. There were no sponsors then, their resources were limited & they had other responsibilities. Like me. Anyway, they can go now. At 70. But unfortunately those little cabins are where they have to stay due to reasons that are probably glaringly obvious. But for sake of their dreams, they choose the wildest locations little cabins can be. They are respectful of their surroundings, choosing to stay where businesses & most visitors are also respectful. Where everyone is either trying to be inclusive, or thankful for the chance to see places they otherwise would have never seen. So, there are your tourists, my friend. While I acknowledge the problem of losing wild places, you were still able to find your wild place. Everyone should be able to enjoy them, too.

I’m not going to join in with the naysayers and criticisms about your comments on both wilderness and Genghis Khan. Just for the record I fully support and agree with your comments on the wilderness. Don’t know much about Kahn though. I really wanted to comment on the fire making. Using the cow dung was. excellent, and was one of the primary sources of fuel on the American Prairie when it was being settled. As forgetting it started, remember, you can always use your camp stove as a starter as well. I finally remember many many years ago, up in the northern Cascades on a hike and fishing trip. It started raining so we didn’t get a lot of fishing done and tried to start a fire instead. All the wood was rather damp, and most traditional methods were just not working. I pulled out my trusty old SVEA 123 stove (which alone will tell you how long ago that was) , Got it, started and started putting wood TP style over it. Before long, we had a roaring fire going. Pulled the stove out before anything could really happen to it, but it worked great. As I said, we didn’t get any fishing done, but we had a great time around that fire, snuggly under a big cedar tree, sheltered from the rain. I remember toasting little cubes of SPAM on a stick over that fire and whatever else we had. It was a real great adventure with fond memories. Also, you say in the title of this video that it didn’t go well. It appears it ended up very well at the end. Regardless, you will always have wonderful stories to tell about stuck in that horrendous thunderstorm. in my experience, it is when things don’t go exactly right that keep the greatest and fondest memories of adventures.

I think maybe doing a little research on where the fees go to & the reason for the cabins would have gone a long way.

It's not as wild or adventurous as it's made to be, it's a populated area . The video is , drive from the capital , see the big monument, drive across a well trodden tourist route to a lake/campsite , cry about a few huts , drive to a field 1km away from a campsite, struggle to start a fire ( pathetic) , dramatic storm footage , coffee in a mug, thoughtful shot with a view of the wilderness ( remember, the campsites are just to the right of the shot).

He is an influencer , his web site and Eva's read very similar, all catchy words , authentic, brave, genuine , brands/ branding , we can do this and that. Turns out that the guy with the dog , Max , owns the 4x4 company that sells wild tours in Mongolia to Europe and the west. He is also working with the Mongolian tourist trust to try and get the under 40s to go to Mongolia for tourism. He is also trying to start 4x4 wild tours across the globe to tap into the 23-40 year olds . Their branding is used to influence the followers , it's all documented in their websites and interviews including the NY times. They brand themselves , governments pay to have these influencers on social media and make videos of the country. Whether this is what's happening here is hard to tell but it's what they do. Not exactly saving the planet and Mongolia wants the tourists, there's a new kind of holiday and its the back to nature and be free , raw, brave etc etc. There's actually quite a horrific one from UK that means bringing/buying a broken car and driving across half of Asia, Top Gear style , with no support but it's an "adventure" . It's just a new way of advertising. There's no way Eva would not of known what was at that lake . It's a loop for loads of tourists, mountain bike, motorbikes , horses , they all go round the dirt track , have done for years. Well it might be advertising but they are trying to hide it from you tube? Odd video all the same.

You may be a little misled by viewing Genghis Khan through the lense of Mongolians. As a child in the 1170s, he killed his older half-brother to secure his familial position. As a young man he made war against his former ally, Jamukha. In 1209, he attacked the neighbouring Western Xia, who agreed to Mongol terms the following year. He then launched a campaign against the Jin dynasty, which lasted for four years and ended in 1215 with the capture of the Jin capital Zhongdu. He annexed the Central Asian state of Qara Khitai in 1218 then the Khwarazmian state, where he devastated the regions of Transoxiana and Khorasan and then turned west through what is Russia today and into the Middle East. He was generous and loyal to his followers, but ruthless towards his enemies. The Mongol army under Genghis killed millions of people, yet his conquests also facilitated unprecedented commercial and cultural exchange over a vast geographical area. He is remembered as a brutal tyrant in most of Asia, but modern Mongolians recognise him as the founding father of their nation.

To make Genghis Khan an enlightened, tolerant man is a big misunderstanding. He had the tolerance of a gangster when his victims paid him tribute, and when they did not want to pay, he simply murdered them, skipping the stage of intimidation - a horse's head in the trunk, etc. He burned and ruined many cities, but he built none. The modern intellectual heir of Gengiz Khan's name is Vladimir and in the 21st century he tries to implement the philosophy of conquest and empire building at the expense of smaller and weaker nations. Fortunately, the latter are not as alone in the fight as Genghis's victims, and Vladimir himself is not a leader of such great caliber.

We remember Genghis Khan only because of the millions of victims, the number of destroyed kingdoms he left behind, the record number of thousands of square kilometers he conquered and the number of women he counted - rather not because they fell in love with his beauty or intellect, but because they were forced to do so.

Just a consistently good story. She really is superb. And fearless, by the way. Before that, I used to enjoy Eva's videos but, in comparison, I realized Eva plays the drama card way too much. To the point that I wonder if it's somewhat artificial. Then I think about an Oxford accent coming out of a Polish native and a last name that's been reconfigured to look like royalty. As with some KZfaqrs after a while, it's all about stoking viewer interest for monetary interests and less about the joy of telling a good story. This was really disappointing.

Yeah, I don’t like to criticise but also felt confused by this. Additionally, Eva talks about people sleeping on comfortable beds in ‘boxes’ like it’s kind of selling out or something, when realistically she has just traded that box with windows for a smaller, less comfortable box with windows. She cries when she sees the privitisation of the site saying it’s ruining the environment yet also enjoys the comforts of convenience like lighters, gas station cans of coffee and a coffee jug which has wastefully and unnecessarily broke due to the lifestyle she’s living. I know that privitisation of land is a different matter, but I don’t believe you can separate yourself completely from the progress and developments and capitalist systems that our world has today. I would have more respect for her stand if she indulged and benefitted less from these developments if she for example stoked the fire from scratch, or caught her own dinner from fishing or foraging or something. Maybe it’s just me but I’m confused by her mission and the message she wants to send as it seems a bit contradictory to me. Eva if you’re reading this I do admire your bravery and boldness, but just feel confused by what your trying to achieve.

Yeah. No spoon ... In the Marines guys would eat with different utensils. Mostly plastic but they might have one metal one. The thing is - one utensil was about all they really wanted to carry around when they were living in a hole in the ground. Different guys used different things. Spoons were popular and some guys - not many but some - cut tangs into the front to make Sporks. The guys who used Forks - would spear the solid food or lift it out - then - drink the liquid from the container. Lots of guys used Knives. They already had knives or bayonets - so this wasn't an extra thing they had to carry around. Like the guys with Forks - they'd spear the food or drink it. Oh - and part of the problem with carrying the thing around - was losing it ... Since the knife or bayonet was already attached to their gear - it was harder to lose than something that might fall out of a pocket. As to Genghis Khan ... Yes - once the Mongols had conquered some place and were administering it - that was one thing. Conquering it was another. The Standard Mongol approach was to come to a City and tell it that if it didn't surrender - they'd kill every man, woman and child in the place - then stack their skulls in a mount outside it. If the City resisted - that's what they did. The reason that did that was so the next City would surrender. If they gave in - they became part of the Mongols lands and things weren't so bad - not that they were good. The person today who most reminds me of Genghis Khan - would be Putin. As to who you heard he was such a great guy from - well - of course the Mongols think he was a great guy. .
