Dont know if you are still reading these, curious as to your musical influences, I recently got into Crim3s and something of them reminded me of you. "Polar Night" is honestly so sublime and you seem to have so many threads in your music and its fascinating. Its a great way to get into bands so if you have any you'd recommend or that inspire I'd love to hear it!

Tranzit_is_good

Hello! I was wondering if you have an idea for where you are making another Illegal freedom?

Laura Auld

I have tried some games in VR. I did do a titanic experience through it too. Appreciate your suggestion, thank you.

Ian M

Sorry to hear you are housebound and have you ever tried virtual reality headsets as they would make video seem like you were there

Laura Auld

I'm disabled so "freedom" looks different for me. How would you suggest I get a similar feeling when I'm pretty much housebound?

Ian M

Thanks for letting me know and it's good he got out of Ukraine

Ian M

When will the next video be out?

martin

hi Shiey, always love the videos, especially Prypjat and train surfing and that you mostly start the videos "tired as f..." :D. Like your style, it is obviously not about likes and clicks and sensation like all these other pricks are doing. Is it true that you lived in the streets for a while? There are people who can't feel fear, are you one of them? Did you ever worried about the power lines above the trains? Best regards.

martin

As far as I know he is in Berlin

shiey freedom

thanks! started making music digitally through a game on moms phone as kid. later she bought me music making software for pc and it continued from there.

mostieghostie

Thanks for making some of my favorite videos and running music!! Would you rather fight a horse sized horse or a duck sized roach?

Christin

How did you get into making music? I love your music, it's perfect. ✌️♥️

Uiloe

Just wanna say keep up the content its always a relief to see you upload from your cooking to your humour and as always the adventures ive been war over the past 4 years i just wanted to say thank you for all you've done and continue to do thank you shiey!

shiey freedom

i went to university for an alternative reason so i barely studied.

shiey freedom

you should ask him.

Ian M

Do you know how Anton is doing, is he keeping in good health and is he still in Ukraine?

Yuki

Hi, I enjoy watching your videos almost everyday! Would you tell us what you studied in university?

shiey freedom

not planning that far. going to take it as it comes. 'cause i might want to return to it. spaghetti carbonara. never panic, be aware of environment, have fun. that question is based on a false statement.

John fisher

Hi Shiey, just me. I’m over in the UK right now. Heading home next week. Keep doing what you’re doing and if you head to Canada you know how to contact me. Looking forward to your next adventure and my vicarious escape through your excellent work. Cheers, John

Daniel N

Keep on rocking in the vanishingly free world. Love your explorations! Maybe be a tad more careful ;-P (I'm getting old)

Karadi Films

hi shiey! (1) what do you plan to do once you're older? pivoting more to music perhaps? (2) why do you follow the 'leave the place like you found it' policy? (3) favorite dish? (4) top 3 things to remember while exploring? (5) according to you, what is the meaning of life?

Rick

We’ll if you’re ever on the east coast, check out centralia Pennsylvania, pretty cool place to explore

shiey freedom

hi. thanks, glad to hear i inspire! careful with the antennas, i wouldn't recommend climbing the ones that are on. i will visit argentina someday🙂

André 'Skipper'

Thanks for your amazing videos Shiey. You are a great inspiration to me and you aroused my curiosity to surf trains here where I am from, Argentina, I dream of crossing borders like Brazil on freight trains. I am currently 26 years old and all days i'm always working in a office, like an npc lol. Every time i go to work in bike, i hear the song "Run Boy Run - Woodkid" and in my head i create that image of you on the train enjoying those beautiful landscapes, far from people and civilization. I feel that song, describes who you are and what are you making, feeling so hard that freedom. Hope one day somebody makes a edit with that lol. I have planned to go up to a radio antenna but supposedly they have electricity, I still lack eggs like the ones you have left over. A huge hug, as we say here in Argentina. One day I hope you come here, and if you do, I'll be waiting for you to surf trains, or bike, all over Latin America.

shiey freedom

hi. none. haven't finished a book in general.

shiey freedom

will definitely visit sometime soon. not for the handshake tho.

shiey freedom

hi. had lots of practice from an early age.

shiey freedom

hi. learning russian.

shiey freedom

computer with maps or simple field work. also get spots sent to me by others.

shiey freedom

haven't seen it all yet.

shiey freedom

feel like it has a life separate from me. dont see a reason to check it, but might pop in out of curiosity sometime.

ost.journey

Hi, I hope you're doing well! Was there any book that had a big impact on your life when reading?

Ian M

Great idea, so much for you to do, just bring waterproofs as it rains a lot

Artomix

You Inspire me my friend, keep up the good work. I am a huge biker and was fucking thrilled when you bought the mountain bike, they are useful in so many ways. Best cooking channel ever <3

Rick

Any plans on ever coming over to the states? I would do just about anything to shake your hand.

Mrsadams69

Hi! How/where did you learn to speak such good English? I also admire you for speaking Lithuanian 😎 I am learning it right now and it’s sooo difficult 😲 Happy Midsummer 🇸🇪🍓❤️

Rue de Day

Hi Shiey! I’ve always been a word nerd, so I really enjoy the way you play with words, and use them to illustrate your unique perspective. Do you speak other languages in addition to Lithuanian and English?

Yonru

Hey shiey what device do you use to locate your finds also love your videos keep it up.

james

hey Shiey mate when you trecking down to australia there are some absolute gems down here that you would love to see

DONKEAD

In your opinion, what, and where the most beautiful natural feature in the world?

IVORK

Hey Shiey, is there anything that would incentivise you to start using the Discord server again? I understand the feel of it has changed substantially with 18k members now. But it is possible to turn it back to patreon only or make a new one as that.

shiey freedom

from the adventures i filmed - yes, the austrian mountain escape.

shiey freedom

from the adventures i filmed - yes, the austrian mountain escape.

shiey freedom

hi. thanks🙂 will definitely do a journey in switzerland again.

Jack Slone

hey Sir Shiey. What was the moment among all of your expeditions so far when you were the most stressed or scared for your life/that you'd really end up locked up. Is the Italy/Austria border chase up the mountain with the choppers one of those moments (lol) ?

Marinus

Broken glass, crumbly concrete and rusty steel accompanied by your moody music and the occasional lanky dance. Then you are at your best. Thanks Shiey for making the world a little less crazy.

Caireen

Hy Shiey will you ever make another trip to my home country, Switzerland?It's so beautiful... !! You are such a inspiration for me and changed my life forever 💜🖤...lots of love to all the cats and dogs on your adventures 🐕🐈

Ian M

No problem, just thought patreons could do more to fund some adventures, I know you will have to spend money on these trips and I have no idea if your fees are covered with pateron subscriptions.

shiey freedom

thanks for the tip, but not fond of that idea.

shiey freedom

will definitely explore more of uk in the future. want to visit scotland next.

Ian M

I was reading comments from other people about you doing something in Australia and I would like to see tha.t Why don't you post a list of places you could do an adventure, with the cost beside it and let patreons vote for you to do one of them and then all the patreons all chip in and pay for it.

Nerys

You're got at least one human right here who'd love to see it. Thank you!!

Declan

Have you considered coming back to the UK? If so any plans outside of London or England?

shiey freedom

will visit those places in future. i tend not to do things i'm scared of - unpredictable situations occur, but most of the time im confident in my actions.

shiey freedom

don't have one currently. tomb raider inspired me a lot to explore, notable mention.

shiey freedom

i still have some fooatge from it, might post it as a website exclusive.

latortuga71

Nice Handstyle keep it up

kratersignal

Hi Shiey, i like the abandoned buildings and desolate places you visit. Your editing is like a fly on the wall experience really cool. Ilike tunnels , drains lol and there is something about them like a lonely train station that can bring oneself back down to earth.. or the opposite lol 👍👍

Daniel C

Hey Shiey, just wanted to say I love the series and watching your adventures feels so freeing, I would love to see you do an Australian adventure! Also love your music too, I know people are never just one thing, but you sharing this small part of your life is really inspiring, thanks for being you!

Nerys

Will you ever post more of your 2 week trip to Ukraine with Matt a few years back? I'm obsessed with you guys up on the bridge to watch the fireworks and I'd love to see your perspective! Thanks for all your work. 💜

pokey

thanks for existing. i don't have much to say, but i appreciate what u do

Mike

What is your favorite video game?

shiey freedom

thanks, i try to🙂 been to romania and will definitely explore more of it soon.

shiey freedom

hi. thanks🙂 i did not know that channel.

Eppie

I don’t have a question, love your work though. It inspires me to want to get out and do something with my life, so thanks for that. Also you have a really dope style.

spork

Hey Shiey! love the videos, truly a huge inspiration! I just wanted to ask two things, first: any plans of a trip to New Zealand or Australia? second: you seem so fearless in your videos, climbing, exploring, and doing things that could get you hurt, are you actually scared during any of these things? thanks! keep doing what you're doing, it's amazing!

Dustin

It's a good season to, message me if you ever wanna get that planned out.

Azenhawke

I just enjoy watching your videos and never leave comments bcz that's how I feel. But, since you made this post, my comment is : Thank you for being you and bringing joy to people. I am also a big doggo lover, so props. Cheers.

Alexandra Duma-Dancai

Hi Shiey, really like your content. Hope you never stop and that you will always enjoy it. Have you ever thought of going through Romania? We have amazing nature and I think you'd enjoy it.

Nathalie

shiey you are an extraordinary artist. Your work is so smart and full of personality. Your videos are always amazing. I really like your universe. I was wondering...do you know the Ninurta channel?

Ian M

I had a vision of your home being a bit like a Mad Max movie, but you must spend a lot of time editing your footage.

shiey freedom

alone i can enjoy the environment at my own pace and avoid distractions. it's tough in the night or in an aggressive encounter. i learned to play alone as a kid and that transitioned into being confident alone nowadays. still, feeling of safety while having a friend near is nice.

Myka

I've send you a DM about Chernobyl and the future of the stalker cult

shiey freedom

i have a place. not always on the go.

shiey freedom

i'm eager to get back to chernobyl as well. gotta wait. but don't have many hints of how to find people - they've usually found me.

shiey freedom

can't speak for other people. best not to get caught.

shiey freedom

all unique, can't pick.

shiey freedom

the tarta mountain mission was rock climby, but i will definitely do more.

shiey freedom

hi. i've been outside of europe couple of times, but haven't filmed. i'd like to visit all continents in future - the world is beautiful.

shiey freedom

nope. that was an antenna cable. it did inspire an idea to connect all buildings with ziplines.

shiey freedom

i have posted a gear list on my website, if that's what you're looking for: https://www.shiey.com/blog/my-journey-gear-list

shiey freedom

will skip the personal questions. regarding youtube - i read comments within the first 2 hours and i will make videos as long as i feel like it. regarding life risk - i have enough experience to do these activities with confidence, i try not to risk.

grisbjörn

I just want to say that you're a big inspiration for me. I really enjoy the way you navigate around society like it's just another obstacle in nature. You've really changed my perspective on what the rules are. I'm stuck in a job and a mortgage but I see my city in a very different light since I've started watching your vids.

Jay Contrast

Hats off to you because I would not know where to start. I've never tried Vegas before. I've seen that you use it though and looked into it out of curiosity. To be honest I'm a bit of a cheapskate and use free editors.

shiey freedom

dont rush and know my limits.

shiey freedom

do feel more self-conscious after i emerge out of the wild, but that goes away in a day or so. i do feel better alone or with a couple like-minded people only.

shiey freedom

thanks! have yet to surf there.

shiey freedom

normal is a subjective term, but i do activities common to everyone else when i am not adventuring. sit at pc a lot editing/producing.

shiey freedom

always stared at trains as a kid. saw a video online of someone surfing and wanted to try myself.

shiey freedom

yes.

shiey freedom

definitely someday.

shiey freedom

have tried davinci for cc work, but mainly use vegas for everything.

SzipusAlfi

what got you into trainhopping? what gave you tha idea?:)

Dustin

Would you like to come climb mountains in the US?

Sergio Roldán

When are you coming to Argentina???

Jay Contrast

I'm actually curious if you ever used something like davinci for creating face blurs? It's something I looked into recently and it looked like a pretty steep learning curve.

Kyaw Soe

Shiey, you’re one of the most inspirational people out there. Keep doing your thing. ❤️

Ian M

I wonder what you are like in your normal every day life, as you have done some of the craziest things in your videos I have ever seen. You have risked your life on the mountains and climbing videos many times. I have climbed mountains, but I will use a rope with a climbing partner, but you just go solo with no safety equipment. You sound sensible when you speak, but you then go and jump on top of things with no safety equipment, and one slip, and you would be a goner. Not being rude, just curious

Gabi O

there were so many questions i thought about asking you but you know what, i think i just wanna say that i really love your adventures and it's amazing seeing you enjoy the sort of freedom most people don't even think of. i guess we really are stuck in our roles. i truly wish you good things and health to keep on doing your thing for as long as possible 👊

Piotr Smarzyński

hey Shiey, i love your content, especially train surfing, but urbex too. Did you surfed in Poland or plan to do it?

Heather Wright

Do you find it difficult to integrate back into society after being on one of your journeys? I find that just living in a rural area and working from home makes going out where a lot of other people are almost foreign to me. Like I dread it.

BigPineapple

Well said.

Jason B

Whats a general piece of advice that you always think about during your journeys?

Binaria

I would like to know about your personal circumstances, if it is convenient. What is the relationship with your parents? Do they know what you are doing? Do you have any siblings? A girlfriend? Do you have plans for the future? How long do you plan to make videos? Will we ever see your face? What kind of comments on YT do you love? Which ones do you hate? Do you always read all the comments? Are you never afraid when you risk your young life? I love your videos, man. I hope my questions weren't too forceful. But thanks for giving us this opportunity now. ✌

Alexandre Ferreira

What do you often carry when you travel? Could you do a breakdown of you backpack? Thank you!

Luke

Your video's bring over such freedom, that I even feel a little bit more free when I've watched one. Thank you, I love you and your content <3

marsrover

Did you do the sketchy zipline that was posted to Twitter?

Risn

Hey Shiey, ..... if you could explore another country that's isn't connected to Europe where would you want to go? Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺

Anton Littau

Hi, Shiey, In many of your videos you are often on the road alone. How does being alone affect your psyche? I can imagine that sometimes it can be liberating, but at other times it can be monotonous and depressing. Love goes out from Berlin!

WreckingBANG

Love your Videos. Its always like a little holiday to just sit back and enjoy your videos. It gives me a feel of freedom

WreckingBANG

Do you have a house or flat you go to after every journey or are you always on the go?

StockMushroom

I've got a lot of respect for a man who lives by the principals that you do. Thank you for allowing me to love vicariously through you.

AngelsLieToKeepCtrl

Thanks for taking the time to go through all your messages :)

Griffin

Thanks for making such great videos. You make the journeys i'd love to do if i had the courage, so i can't thank you enough for sharing them with us. Greetings from southern Germany - it can be beautiful here, maybe you wanna explore this area too someday^^ Wish you all the best!

Myka

I always enjoy watching your videos, especially now that I cant get back into my safe space which was Stalking through Prypjat. Im now trying to get back into the szene and still not sure what to do during my 4 week vacation. Trying to find some people so I can so some good old train hopping and camping in a forrest, slowly making my way through another country, exploring cool stuff in the way. If you got any hints let me know :) 22 years old now and quite a few years of experience.

Ben King

Your have the coolest persona on youtube and you seem like a really well balanced level headed guy. Keep living your dream it's motivating to see man!

Seaneyyy

You're the best bro, your confidence and your skills really inspired me to do way better, by going outside more often, enjoy the nature(bliss), get into climbing, adventuring, not giving too many fucks about rules and stuff, etc. big big thank you! Without you i would probably still sit in my room playing video games 24/7 after work. You and Poison (who i only know bc of you) really changed me into a different but better person. Wish you the best

sdonat99

when you or other people are do trainsurfing, what kind of legal issues are they exposed? i suppose it changes through other countries, but what's the most common? it's a experience i want to live, but it scares me if it can have serious repercussions

Pat

Your videos are something I always look forward to and makes my day much better. I hope you stay safe.

Joe James

Favourite trip you've done?

DeeEs

I sent mine on September 6. 2022, if that's new enough perhaps check it out, it's kinda a bit long for it to make sense reposting here. It was about trying out other countries for railway and other stuff, notably on the biggest smokestack that other thrill seekers on youtube did in the past.
