''Drop me at the border please!'' *gets dropped at the border* ''I'm stranded at the border!!''

"Let's goto Kalmikya" *Takes one step* "We're in Kalmikya" *police arrives* "Wow! I'm already arrested"

The way the cop asked “are you ok” in Russian sort of insinuates “are you ok in the head” 😂

This dude is really just walking around in an empty DayZ server

You know what's more creepy? The whole comment section that has thousand likes doesn't have replies at all

That taxi driver called the cops on you.

Police is everything ok? .. leave him stranded 40km from the nearest town.

It just amazes me how confident he is walking around in the middle of nowhere in a completely abandoned village. Sometimes I get lost in my own city ffs.

Bald: To make things easier, I've hired a taxi to strand me in the middle of nowhere.

Bald is doing the film industry a huge favour. He is giving them set location ideas for Zombie Apocalypse movies.

"I have a son and a daughter, what more do I need ?"... wow. That was... powerful. Somehow.

Me: loses my shit when i miss the last busride home (40minute walk) Bald: gets out of the taxi in the middle of nowhere and hopes for the best

“Is everything ok with you” after all his videos this guy was the first one to ask him.

"Say the line, Bald" "soviet" *audience cheers*

The population density is weird watching from india

love how the receptionist saw this bald man and her first answer was "the luxury is 3000 rubles" straight for the pockets she knew he was a tourist lol

Mr Bald sees an old woman absolutely anywhere “Ah, Babushka!!”

You can imagine how the mongols once rode their horses on these plains.

Why did he tell the taxi to leave him in the middle of nowhere tho

this makes me wanna quit life and roam around Russia

"Soviet" count for today's video: A paltry 3. This is unacceptable.

Ahhww, we pressured mr bald to stop saying the word soviet, kinda feel bad

I’ve never seen a man more happy about being stranded

This is more entertaining than NetFlix.

A ride and a beer? That's not a stranger, that's a friend

The place with the car husk and all the empty bottles literally looks like it could be a location in a Fallout game

The 2nd guy who picks him up and saying he has a son and daughter what more does he need in life. What a true fucking legend, if only everyone was that happy.

Imagine being a cop and finding an englishman in the middle of nowhere ..just existing It is a bit suspicious lol :D Also Chulchuta is a really desperate sight

Bald: Don't say it Don't day it Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Bald: SOVIET!

Watching these videos is like reading a good book.

And of course, he finds a war memorial in the middle of nowhere and its full of flowers. That's Russia, everywhere people pay tribute to the past.

Do a map that shows every place in russia that you have visited. It would be nice.

"I'm in the middle of nowhere, CHECK IT OUT!" To say that with such enthusiasm 😂

Being in MiddLe of Nowhere and Asking " Where is Everyone"...!?

A smiling Englishman stranded on the border of nowhere happily reciting Jay Bola Ki to the police. Priceless.

"Thank you" "You thanked me too soon"........ That's a very Russian response to thank you.

Bald the only man who get's in a taxi and says, drop me off nowhere near anywhere!

This was pretty much Stalker: Shadow of Bald

This guy was prepared to walk a whole marathon to the nearest town and wasn’t fazed in the slightest

Locals: We can drive you into the village Bald: no, no, please drop me at the first road sign that bares it's name

Hello from Elista))

I laughed so hard when you got stopped by the police and they asked you "is everything alright"? Haha They couldn't possibly figure out what on earth was a random foreigner doing there, stranded in the middle of nowhere! 😂

You intentionally put yourself into situations that would give most people a panic attack and I have to respect that

The sign saying "Last Petrol station for the next 50 kms" Should have been a clue to you

Sad to see Bald getting insecure about calling things Soviet :(

I love how you wave your hand like a 80s hostess to show us your world. 😂

I wish I was as stress-resistant as this guy. He can enjoy every place in any circumstances. I would only be worried all the time about if I would be able to find food/hotels/busses/toilets and not enjoy the trip at all.

Seeing Russia like this, like really seeing its large expanses of nothing and it’s two way highways.. really reminds me of America. Just wow lol

These cops are telling the boys at the station how there's a crazy brit standing in the middle o' nowhere smiling :DD

so this is what it's like to not have anxiety

bald not closing the room door for like a whole minute really winds me up.

I have a daughter and a son, what more do I need in life. wow. powerful.

The local cannibals licking their lips when they see Bald striding up to their village without a care in the world.

Man, this guy is crazy but his adventures are so cool.

This kind of videos make me think that how big the world is. And where am I, in my room, thinking that I know many places of this world.

The fallout looking village is located here: 46° 19′ 1″ N 46° 22′ 19″ E (Hulhuta in Kalmykia)

I want to see a video of Baldy returning to England. Would be an interesting contrast from his regular videos😂

Am I the only one that is always amazed at what a tiny bag he carries on such voyages? Can we get a video on what you take on your trips with you?

Your spirit of adventure is incredible.

I'd be so scared in these parts of the world because of how uninformed I am. Even being informed I'd still be scared probably. Thanks for these vids, I started watching today, instant addict!

"my mind is switching to survival mode" Man....it took years to do that....lol

You know a village is abandoned when there are no dogs running towards you and barking at you.

I have to say the road looks suspisciously good

Imagine sitting and listening to Bald and his travel stories in the night with a bottle of vodka next to an old soviet campfire

Former Kalmukian president claimed to be abducted by aliens, who taught him how to play chess. Absolute hero.

He has adventures in a single day which I haven't had in my entire life!

12:43 Second part in Russian: "For the Motherland shed blood forever sacred in memory." Dedicated to the soldiers of the 28th Army, who died in battles during the great Patriotic war. On the territory where the monument is located today, the advance of German troops towards Astrakhan was stopped. Inside the obelisk on both sides of the through passage are niches in which information plates with the names of military formations that participated in the battle of Hulhut are placed. On the right side of the obelisk are several mass graves, in which the fallen soldiers of the 28th army are buried, the remains of which are found in our time by search teams. At graves tablets with names of the victims are established.

This is my favorite freaking channel now. Incredible.

Mr Bald, I have to say what an adventure. You end up in a vilage that looked like something out of a western movie ... dead quiet and scary as f=÷k. Then on to some fantastic Russian monument and mural which always take my breath away, love old Russian stuff. And through the generosity of a few Russians you get driven to safety. What absolutely amazing generosity for a total stranger . .. love it. And then a cheap clean room to rest in. I love seeing the disposition of the locals ,the quizine and the beauty of the countryside. Well done

i learned more about the soviet union on this channel than I did in school

20:06 "Well I think that's it for today" I almost yelled "NO" at my laptop. 20 mins literally flew by. I didn't want it to end.

Watching this makes me imagine a russian dude just wandering around native american reservations lol doesn't look all that different

Does anyone else frantically search google maps for his location? Or is it just me? I love to see where he’s at each time

As a Dane you can only laugh at this video. The truck there wasn’t picking you up was driving for a danish company (DSV) and the beer you get is also danish hahaha

Bald: getting a job as a tour guide, Manager: so what part of the world do you specialise in? Bald: Yes

Сегодня, 15 ноября, в 10 часов 21 минуту на трассе Элиста-Махачкала был задержан мужчина-иностранец. Подозреваемый в течение получаса бродил вдоль границы с Дагестаном, громко повторяя "Наконец-то мы попали в Калмыкию". Идет установление возможной причины такого поведения, но до сих пор это единственный подобный случай.

Bald - youre awesome. You should go somewhere more exotic like a Siberian city, or maybe the coldest inhabited city Oymyakon!! That would be incredible.

"let's go and check it out" this is basically his catchphrase lol

His background is in intelligence right?? Mi5 or mi6, you can just tell he can look after himself also and has connections all over

The village of Khulhuta was founded in a semi-desert area, with a large number of dunes and a lack of water resources. Around the village there are 9 wells with drinking water. The water contains a large amount of sulfur and other trace elements. Often, with a long absence of operation and maintenance of the well, sulfur rises to the surface of the water, forming a "plug". Hence the name of the village "Khulhuta" Kalm. Khulkhta (joint case from Kalm. Khulkh - sulfur (in the ears)

11:08 If you ever feel useless remember that there is a pedestrian crossing in the middle of nowhere.

Wow. Great content! Definitely true to the word, "adventure". I mean, come on, you're dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Unknown territory to you. You come across some kind of beautiful history memorial in the middle of nothing. Abandoned town. Little cafe. Tours very old apartments. Receives rides from the generosity of strangers. Ends up in a pretty decent reasonably priced hotel! Love it!

That guy that took u to cafe, he’s happy with so little it’s crazy how ppl need/want things to be liked. Status symbol is making ppl into zombies

Not trying to be mean, everytime I watch one of these videos I'm surprised this guy hasn't been offed yet. How many Texas chainsaw esk situations can you throw yourself in.

"Everything ok?" "Yeah, everything ok..." few moments later "I'M STRANDED!"

Dude, you are legend. You are living my dreams, just traveling in the middle of nowhere in Russia.

This was the first Bald & Bankrupt video I saw(random recommendation) I've been a devoted follower since. I remember thinking "what the hell is the Brit doing walking down a rural Russian highway all alone?"

Love how Bald says "Zdravstvuyte" without a hint of accent

When Ben said that this room costs him 1200RUB while standing in the elevator, I couldn't help but be reminded of the Borat movie where he thinks the lift is his hotel room :D

"An old abandoned house" does sadly not sound as cool as "An old abondened soviet house" :(

There is actually a lot of such villages in Russia, I think like tens of thousands abandoned or nearly abandoned. The reason is people started to move to towns and cities after the collapse of the USSR, especially young ones.

I have an unhealthy level of interest in anything Soviet (more on the science and tech side but also other things). Your channel is a gem!!!

This shit is so fascinating coming from a dude in rural America. Wonderful to see warm welcoming people all around the world. Can’t trust the stereotypes we’re taught here. This is some real shit. Keep it up Bald you’re the best.

10:45 “two clicks” MI6 confirmed

You stir my soul dude. If I were to go on a trip to some strange foreign land I would want you with me.

03:50 Police: Is everything okay? You need any help? Bald: Yes, everything is fine. No problems whatsoever. 5 seconds later Bald: I am stranded in nowhere, alone with no civilization

Hey Bald, Astrakhan is my home town! At this time of year it's good to go fishing/hunting down in the delta if you like that kind of thing ofc.

When an abandoned soviet village scares you more then trapsing around coca fields in Bolivia lol

Think I must have watched around ten videos now of Russia.. And now started watching the Indian ones. Major binge watching going on lol.
