this channel is incredible! it's just so cool to know people live like this

Your underground ice house is used in some areas, in other more temperate areas, to store vegetables. Your people are very resourceful, and I enjoyed learning about them through your videos.

I love your postings. I have forwarded your posts on to farms near me. You are living our history.

Yeayy! Always wondering how life in yakutia looks like. Glad to find your channel🌸

I just found your channel and subscribed immediately :) It must be hard work to get all that ice, but it looks like very good quality water. The use of permafrost is really ingenious too! I suppose if there were water pipes the water would just freeze solid during winter, so the traditional way makes the most sense

Amazing, never heard about Yakutia before, thanks for sharing about your country 🤗

Your channel is interesting and very informative. I learned a lot❤️

Simple and straight to the point I like it.

This is so interesting! Thank You Very Much for sharing this!!

Honestly - you have the kindest eyes I've ever seen : )

So almost everything you use comes straight from the land and lakes? That is really interesting. The place is so clean and pure there that you probably have the best water and food available. Do your houses have plumbing or is it too cold in the winter that it would freeze water in the pipes? How do you keep the inside of the house warm?

@LifeinYakutia

Hey! Yes, most of what people use in the villages of Yakutia comes straight from the nature. We have plumbing at home, we have water inside, but it is also different from what people have in warmer countries 😅 we have gas heaters inside of the house, but it is only in that part of Yakutia where is gas. There are many villages with no gas, they heat their houses with woods. And also people, who live in villages with no gas, have two houses. One big for summer time and one small for winter time. They move from one to another depending on season, because in winter is more profitable to live in small house (bigger houses need more woods). I hope it was more or less clear explanation 😅

Hi Maria, that’s very interesting I never thought people have to defrost ice for drinking water . Would you make a video how you wash your dishes and clothes or have a bath or shower without running water , please ?

Thanks. In New Zealand, most houses are supplied by water from underground pipes, but we are advised to store at least seven days supply for each person living in the house. The reason is that New Zealand can have earthquakes, and in the event of a large one, it might take up to seven days before the local government can start supplying water again.

Hi Maria can you do a video on Yakutia athletes and sports, does your region produce any Russian winter Olympic team members? Say like speed skating or nordic skiing?

amazing thank you for making this video.

Nice to know about ur living conditions Keep it up

I keep watchin ur blogs quite sometimes .. plz show us how j guys wash clothes and how u dry it and how u take bath

How deep does the bulus go to get to the permafrost? You mentioned on another video how hot it gets in summer there, I’m so surprised it can literally keep ice frozen!

So in Frozen 🥶 movie Kristoff was cutting ice for water supply

Interesting, I wonder how the water supply in the city works ? I would guess there might be all sorts of problems with pipes getting frozen or the water reservoir getting frozen.

Wow. It's a great narrative.

Hi Maria! When you boil water to cook pasta for example, do you use the drinking water?

I love you channel, somehow it ended up in my seggested videos! :) As Im reading about permafrost, it says its starting to melt due to climate change. Have you seen or heard of anything like that in your area? That would be super interesting to me. Thank you :)))

Watching your videos.. 💚💚💚 Do you still boil the water for drinking.. or it’s fine to drink like that?

Thank you as always for a very interesting video. I'm curious: How do people in the villages dig the holes in the permafrost required to make underground storage spaces like the one you showed? Is a shovel sufficient? Or do people have to get out pickaxes and such to pick away at the permafrost?

When we have -15˚ in Denmark there’s warnings in the news about the temperature 😂 How many liters do you calculate for a daily need? For each person? I presume that you use water from the lake for washing?

Hi, Maria! Thank you for these videos about your amazing people and place. I'm in Vermont in the USA and I've been obsessively watching videos about Yakutia all week. What a fascinating place and culture. I'm curious. WHY do you store up ice for the year? You mention all of the lakes; can't you just get access to the water all-year-round? Oh...but then you'd have to be trekking to the lake on a regular basis because you can't use pipes in permafrost? Plus, pipes would've been quite the expense .... is it just that it's easier to do all the work over a couple of weeks in November and then just have the water available in the bulu all year round...Almost, for your people a hundred years ago a luxury, having all that water available and close to hand. Wow...I think I answered my own question. Just easiest to do it that way, right?

@LifeinYakutia

Jason West, hello! Yes, you answered your own question 😅 We can’t use water pipes because our land is permafrost. If we dig the land, it will melt in summer. And the ground will become swamped. That’s why in Yakutsk (i mean, in the town, where many people live), pipes are above the ground. And they are covered by warm lawyers, so water in pipes won’t freeze during winter. But it’s all expensive and for now it’s not available for villagers, where most of the houses are private (i mean, houses are not big stone buildings like in the cities). So for us it’s easiest to store water this way. It’s one day work, also nowadays we can buy it from local entrepreneurs 😅 but my parents do it this way. Thank you for your interest in Yakutia!

She explained in another video that the surface water during that time (Oct-Nov) is purest, and the ice is still thin enough and that makes it easier to cut it out of the lake

exactly what it is Summer in Yakutia. Is it still in the negative ? what is the highest temperature you have experienced? What activities do you do in summers. Im sure you must have your special festivals or occasions, Do you celebrate all that during the warmer months ? does any produce grow there ? where do you get your vegetables and fruits from ? Can you show us your supermarket and what you get there ? i know these are a lot of questions. I sometimes feel like living your life for a few months just to experience the complete opposite of my life is here in India. I was in Toronto for a few years and the coldest I had experienced was -42 and we were mostly bundled up at home with our heaters on and we still had hot water flowing from our taps. but your life makes me really appreciate the efforts you have to put just for drinking water. I am humbled. please do show more of your life. Thanks

I think that's just how natural ice looks like though? It's never clear like man made ice cubes etc are, at least i haven't seen that kinda thing (in finland). The ice is completely clear only when it's very thin. I have only melted ice/snow for drinking during hiking so tbh i'm not sure but my sophisticated guess is that most bacteria and parasites die if the ice is in below -25°c temperature for weeks. Fish and bacteria only survive winter if there is a layer of water beneath the ice and sadly sometimes during harsh winters shallow bodies of water freeze all the way to the bottom and all the fishes die :( Sorry about rambling and writing such an unnecessary comment evjedioswkkeke
