      This video also the answer to the two questions, which often asked in the comments:
      -- 'Where do they get vitamins during long dark cold winters?' As you see, they prepare them ahead + a lot of vitamins comes from foil liver, arctic fish and stuff like this.
      --'Why on Earth people would choose such a place for living?' They didn't choose, they just were able to survive. Sakha escaped the Mongol invasion in 13 century and fleet from area near Baikal lake. Those of them who moved more to the West or more to the right mostly died from the cold and hunger. People who arrived to the Yakutian Valley were happier because of hot summers. You see, hey, berries, cows and horses with milk. It's a Siberian Paradise, despite the harsh winters.

    People should take a moment to reflect on their lives and find all the things they are grateful for, even though life can be grim. Life is hard for most of us, and we all have stories to tell. Oksana’s children are wonderful people, and I hope she’s proud of each of them.

    We take it for granted being surrounded by tropical weather all year. There is no worry for freezing pipes, heat for homes, or fear of frostbite when you step outside. Family in yakutia work together to survive and have such a strong bond. I think not having adversities in our environment like yakutia, the luxury of our climate has made many of our community lazy and not sociable. I enjoy watching your videos and its masterful editing. It's refreshing, genuine, and gives me hope for humanity. Mahalo from Hawaii.

      The “everyone looks healthy” can be the “survivor bias.” It comes up in a lot in tough conditions….from the dogs living wild in the woods around Chernobyl, to tribal peoples, to miners in old cold mines, and happens because the tough conditions weed out anyone not in good health, leaving only the fittest…..so everyone looks “healthy.” But…it is not that the conditions are good for them, or that people don’t get sick, but just that the tough conditions mean that those in poor health don’t last long, and either die or go elsewhere….leaving only the strongest.

The link between Asia & the Americas is incredible, esp in northern parts where we can experience some of these things, at a warmer temp (-40F is about the lowest we ever see, still dangerous but nothing like -94°F/-70°C).

Even regular everyday people there seem so much more strong and organised than other people from around the world out of important necessity but still somehow find a way to thrive and exist in such a beautiful but potentially deadly part of this world.

    Love from Sweden (where we think minus thirty is cold! :) ) What a beautiful family and stunning landscape. I love my fur garments too, and find that, with wool too, it always outperforms even modern winter fabrics. Beautiful reindeer boots.

      What I don"t get is where they take the money from for such expensive clothes and footwear. I live in Estonia and here we know quite a lot about life in Russia. And life in rural Russia (yes, this is Yakutia, not Russia, culturally. But it is still Russia in terms of quality of life) is really hard, as far as I know and people live on very little income. I am sure there are exceptions and maybe this family is one of them but still... The mother works as a teacher, for god"s sake. Teachers are not well payed there. I have no idea how much one makes with hunting. 500 dollars for boots. I think 100 dollars for footwear is very very expensive, an ultimate limit for me. And the thing with footwear is that it holds for a few seasons then you must get new ones. Or are these reindeer boots an exception? They looked very unused, like for a show. Do they use these 500 dollar boots with all these decorations for walking around in rural village (and the stuff that covers the ground in winter in Russia/Siberia) Trust me, a Russian/Siberian village is not a very idyllic place. Hundreds of thousands of people were deported to Siberia and we know what it is like. It has not changed very much. I have a hard time trusting the idyllic picturing of Siberian life. Maybe there are some exceptions and they are picked for the videos. But in general life there is very tough and very poor

      I am from Russia and once was interested in different building styles, and why are your rural houses not like ours.
      To put it shortly. You don't build log houses where the moss is most effective as insulation. Picking wild moss and stuffing it somewhere into your brick or frame houses is more expensive than using pre-made synthetic heat insulation.
      The log houses are good when a house is small and its design is simple. Once the house gets bigger, using whole logs gets more expensive, impractical, and not technological. Especially in the UK.
