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.

How thoughtful of the government to help out these valuable women who are needed so desperately in this field of work.
The production quality is higher than on Netflix. Amazing topics. Thanks for sharing with us.

It is and it’s sadly being destroyed by the Russian and Chinese governments for the past umpteen amount of years. They don’t care about this planet and it’s so horribly sad! Course we have to deal with far right wackjobs who don’t believe in global warming here as well.
Your videos are so comforting to me. I used to live in Russia 20 years ago but now, relations between our countires seem at such a low, I despair of ever going back. Seeing the country again through you is amazing, so thank you.

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.
I never ever comment but I need to today so I can appreciate all your hard work Kiun! This video, like all the others, was super special, and I enjoyed watching it from beginning to end! Absolutely amazing job ! Thank you loads for making us discover the beautiful Yakutian culture, I am super grateful for you xx
Despite the harshness of nature, spending a day among reindeer with family and sleeping in a tent sounds lovely
Мира, Любви и Процветания всем! Благодарю за великолепный фильм!

The production value of this piece reminds me of a special on either HBO , Discovery, Nat geo. Netflix etc… Truly, a very insightful piece with magnificent narration.
Thank you @kiun B for showing such culturally videos from one of the coldest place on earth 🌎.. More power to these people 🙏🙏
Despite of too many difficulties they are living happily. The video is so heartwarming.. Much love to them❤
Your videos about Sakha are amazing....I wish I could learn to become a horsearcher, going with my horse around the great forests from the Carpathians to the Sikhote-Alin Mountains... Much love from Romania🇷🇴God bless you all☦️😇

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?
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.

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!

Your evocative portrayal of life in Yakutia’s frozen expanse truly captivates. Through vivid imagery and poignant narrative, you transport readers to the heart of an extraordinary existence. The resilience and depth of your storytelling are as profound as the frozen landscapes themselves. And I'm Floating Village Life is a testament to your mastery

Outstanding video. Thank you for braving the cold and perils of the far north to share with us this very unique and beautiful way of life!
It has been a bit since I have watched a video on this channel, but it is nice to see it gain so much attention! It really is curious the extremes humans can live in through will and circumstance. Thank you KiunB for documenting such amazing people! People like this really are a testament to the human spirit.
Thanks for sharing the life on this coldest place. Imagining to experience it. Love from Philippines 💛
I have always idolized the protagonist of sci-fi book "Alien From Earth". His life and struggles are always inspirational for me. But it seems you are living the same challenging life in reality. kudos to you.
When I was young when there's no internet and cable tv are expensive, I always thought no people are living in this part of the world, I can only look at the map and think what kind of animals live there, thank you for showing us the simple and beautiful life our Yukatans brothers are living

i lived three years in yakutia and i loved it,still do, the people are lovely the only i could not adapt was the local food, it ain´t my thing, except the the fish stuff
Remarkable people and environment. A lot of the day is really just devoted to tasks to ensure survival and everyone contributes. These reindeer herders are so adapted and close to their environment they don't want to live anywhere else. I've been to some cold places but I can't imagine -70C...

Sadlt. Id hate being a woman in their culture if most of them are confined to the tents all day.
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 really enjoy learning about a lifestyle and culture totally different from my own, and I've watched all your videos! Thank you for showing us about life in Yakutia.
