How Far North Nomads Live in the Wilderness at −71°C (−95°F) Yakutia, Russia

Documentary film about the last nomadic reindeer herder family in the extreme cold, preserving a way of life unchanged for thousands of years. Far from modern civilization, they follow ancient traditions in one of the harshest environments on Earth. We traveled 1300 km by car along some of the most dangerous roads on the planet, and battled intense snowstorms to show you the life of one of the last families of reindeer herders.

Your videos always have inspiring family where everyone is responsible and helping out each other. In my country, it's so common for children to do nothing but studying. My nephews never have to touch any chores. Never even have to tidy up their own plates and take it away. Just eat and leave them on the table. I honestly have no idea what they will grow up to be like. I sincerely hope they learn something when they eventually have to leave home and doting parents. I wish my culture had put more emphasis on building a good character. We used to do that, as I remember old textbooks in my time teaching about honestly, helping parents and the likes. These things don't exist anymore in modern curriculum for some reason.

Привет из Шотландии! Киун, еще раз благодарим тебя за то, что ты продемонстрировал нам стойкость этих невероятно выносливых людей! Все выглядят счастливыми, здоровыми и довольными жизнью, даже в таких суровых условиях! Когда остальной мир катится к чертям, эти люди будут продолжать процветать! Не больше, чем они заслуживают, в конце концов, они живут вместе с планетой и природой, а не эксплуатируют ее постоянно! ----- Greetings from Scotland! Thank you once again for showing us the resilience and fortitude of these incredibly hardy people, Kiun! Everyone looks happy and healthy and content with life, even under such harsh conditions! When the rest of the world goes to hell, these people will continue and thrive! No more than they deserve, after all, they live with the planet and nature, not constantly exploiting it!

Kiun! This is such an important and beautiful documentary- I have seen no other visual media on Yakutian reindeer herders (in English). The last doc I watched with Yakutian people was Horse People in 2009. Since then, we obviously now have your beautiful drone shots. I really would suggest entering this in some sort of competition, maybe presenting it at the annual arctic conference or something similar.

Your video is beautiful to watch as always and in such high resolution. This gives such a beautiful picture of people, old and young, holding on to their values and traditions. They radiate so much warmth, happiness and love that they warm the simple tent in which they live. I also have deep respect for the lady who runs the entire household single-handedly. Cooking with love and your heart. What wisdom. And your English is very good and despite your accent I prefer hearing your voice to reading the subtitles. If you listen carefully to what you say, you will be much more involved as a viewer in the video.

I am struggling to understand how are reindeers capable of consuming enough calories to sustain themselves in that frozen land. Not only it is a order of magnitude harder, slower and more calorie-intensive to dig out the feed in cold, but it is also a lot more demanding to maintain the temperature. Do they lose a lot of weight during the winter?
