I recently learned how much I appreciate showers after my whole town did not have water for three days. It's tough and makes you really think about water being a luxury we don't even think about having. Being able to turn the faucet and shower anytime is really a blessing.
Back where I’m from if you don’t take a shower or wash your va____ no one will talk to you cause your stink dirty while that’s a lot of soap and water to wash your money maker and ass with 😄🤬
Hello from Alabama, in the USA 🇺🇸 you are all self-sufficient, caring, loving, and appreciative. Watching this is so refreshing. Thank you for sharing.
Those people are used to that environment, not like how you think! The reason they don't move or migrate is becoz they don't feel comfortable adjusting to our warmer environment, just like the same way you feel having to adjust to their environment. So, maybe, perhaps.., the little life necessities you have, ain't what they prefer?!?
Makes me feel like am spoiling myself too much for having concerts in the shower, rearranging old arguments I didn't win, dancing, crying, fighting my curtains for touching me, thinking about my future, creating fake scenarios aargh! Just too much. Hands down to the people living there. You guys are heroes for living that life everyday ❤👏
Its quite suprising how the weather is really important, even due to the extreme cold in Yakut, people still go on with their lives normally, it truly is beautiful.
It's -35C now in Calgary. Despite dressing well, it's tough being out for more than 20mins. Taking a shower at -71C & walking back bare bodied is GOD level.
Was just thinking the same! I used to live in Kananaskis, and -43C was quite the experience for a Nova Scotia girl. I was like "is he running back to the house in his shorts?!"
This reminds me of being thankful for the "little things", like having a real shower and hot water on a daily basis. Thanks for sharing your adventurous and calming lifestyle. :)
You are only "thankful" for it because you are used to it. Some people will be "thankful" that they can go out, hunt and kill their own food, make clothing from it and produce no waste. Meanwhile, we travel to the shops, pay money for goods, travel home, then produce waste packaging, followed by food waste. The transportation of thr food to the shop will have produced waste, and the animals corpse will also have been thrown away once a small amount of it has been used. Sometimes there is a bigger picture, this is normal for these people and they probably wonder why we waste energy and resources having hot showers every day.
I am from Barbados (a very small island) in the Caribbean. The weather here is hot and we are not used to cold weather. I normally shower twice a day, morning & night. I do not think that I could handle your weather. I came across your RUclips page by accident & am thoroughly enjoying it. Your culture is beautiful.
Yes these videos are great I live in Scotland the cost of living crisis is bad here and the rest of Great Britain but can still have a bath/shower every day I admire all those people living in such a cold climate
I'm from Trinidad. It's amazing what their bath culture is like, especially considering our own here as you pointed out. Though I understand why they are limited to one day per week, I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around doing the same. Lol If inside the main house is warm enough to sleep, eat and other activities, then trust and believe I'm going to find a way to have a complete bath. Still, very interesting to see how resilient they are in such weather.
The value of one shower 🚿🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Hours of hardwork for a 20 mins bath is insane. They should show these kind of videos in schools so that folks like me start respecting time, water and a shower 🙏🏻
Honestly it feels better doing small things after a hard days work and doing it a more primitive way. Food, warmth, cleaning, etc. We were made for this, not easy stuff.
That wasn't hours of hard work to take a shower. That was ten minutes of cutting wood then lighting a fire. And then dilling up a jar of snow. Like 20 minutes and a whole lot of waiting for the fire to heat up the room.
@@roscosanchez4649 May be it's how you see. For someone who is lazy and not hard working like me it is like what I said. May be you are a hardworking person 🙏🏻 Respect
Agree. Humans are the most incredible creatures in the world in the worst and best ways possible. From cave men hunting and gathering to dominating, surviving and adapting every corner of the world and even space. Truly remarkable.
@@ihswap Yeah man it's almost like we were created to live in this world. 🌎 🤨 yea no shit it's our home planet of course, we're meant to do all of that it's universal.
After watching his struggle I feel very thankful that I am born in the state of India where I can enjoy all the seasons and there is no extreme weather like winters are above 10c summers are under 45 and rain is not heavy and can follow daily routine...hope their future gen get strength to bear this extreme weather.
I am from India 🇮🇳 and now it's winters here (5-15° temperature), I was on my bed under my blanket. Suddenly this video popped up and now I am shivering just by watching this video... Thanks for the video 👍 God bless you people 👍
If you're ever looking for video ideas, I would love to see you cover a bit of why people move to Yakutia, and why people leave. I'm also curious what life is like for children growing up there, what does a day in their life look like? Do they also help to maintain the home, do they get to spend much time outside with friends? I would like to understand the culture more😅 I'm glad I found your channel, I never knew such a fascinating and beautiful place existed
My respect to the people of Siberia, their endurance and determination to survive in such a harsh environment is astounding. I could never live like this.
Thank you for sharing. It’s truly amazing and so educational being able to see how you and your family live life daily. This also teaches all of us to be more grateful and thankful for each of our surroundings.
@@malcolmdrake6137 bad weather is subjective. Humans either adapt or die. That’s not “bad” that’s natural, that is life. I mean you think people 100 years ago went, it’s cold guess I’ll just die! They worked for warmth. Attitude is everything
Yeah, like efficiently designed housing and saunas, the amount of wood he burned for his tiny bathhouse could've fuelled two sauna nights in a 4 person finnish sauna. The left over heat could've been used to heat the main house as well. The video tries to frame this as a hardy people doing whatever it takes to survive, but it comes across as wasteful, both in time spent and the resources used.
@@Vanamutt agreed. Also, did someone tie him down and he is forced to live there? Is he a prisoner and can’t leave without permission? Seems to me he’s forcing this situation. The snow and ice are just there naturally, he’s not 😂
I love seeing and learning about other countries and cultures. I’m in northern Ontario, Canada and the pipes will freeze time to time (pain in the ass!) but only if it gets past -25 in the winter… I def take for granted having a shower in my home, ready whenever I am. From what I’ve seen, Siberian people are resilient, hard working, determined people!
I use to love geography as a kid in school. I was an only child so I didn't have in home play mates. So I entertained myself with reading about far away places. Watching these video reminds me of being back in the 1960's reading my geography books.
Thank you for your videos. Truly, it means so much during these times when we aren't able to experience life with other people as we used to. It brings me so much joy to learn about your culture and way of life, it's so much different than my own. I hope someday I can visit Siberia!
@irlan hakim I kindly suggest you read the Bible in its entirety. Christianity was around before Islam and the message is entirely different. More than going to heaven, the Lord is interested in a transformed life and we can only be made righteous by the Lord Himself through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.
He just ran outside in shorts and a t-shirt in -71 degree weather right after a 100-degree shower. That's insane, mad respect! Edit: Everyone in the replies taking this comment from almost a year ago seriously lmao
It isn't unpleasant at all! It's an amazing feeling, because your body doesn't cool down that quickly and you stay warm even tho it's super cold outside.
I'm blessed to live in South Africa. I think we may have some of the most comfortable weather patterns in the world. Watching this made me appreciate the things we take for granted!
Wow, my showering habit is I get up turn on the hot water and take a shower. I am no stranger to hardships and have lived in other countries other than America but my hats off to you and yours who can take that kind of weather!
Each climate has its on dealings but from all I see in Yakutsk , I’d say you have the most and work the hardest for things most others get with ease. It’s very inspiring and shows great tenacity!
@Ali I wonder the same thing too. I completely understand the appeal of the rest of their lives. However the extreme cold seems like a significant downside and so many ways. Although I also feel the same about the tropics where it can get much too hot for people to be outside in the for more than a few minutes. Genuinely think there are parts of the world we aren’t exactly meant to inhabit. It’s still interesting to watch though.
I'm grateful for my shower with running water. I need to take shorter showers and preserve water. We've taken these basic things for granted in the West. Truly a blessing.
@@A.B.D.555 to save money yes. If the area has droughts then yes. If not, then why conserve water. The same water you just drank is the exact same water that Jesus drank. We aren't running out of water. We're just over populating (China, India, and many parts of the middle east) to the point that fresh water is becoming less and less able to fit our population size. There are several desaluation facilities around the world which removes the salt from sea water and turns it into fresh water.
Yeah, I would not make it in Yakutia. You’d find me a frozen icicle on my way to the bathhouse. But honestly, it’s amazing to see how human beings can adapt. I love these videos
After watching this video I found myself the luckiest person on the Earth right now as I can enjoy Summer, Winter and Rain in limited temperature. More power to u guys from India🇮🇳
I will never take my shower for granted again honestly all the work he has to do to simply take a shower is crazy I have so much respect for this man and everyone in his village
bro, sometimes it is just carbon monoxide accumulating in your blood making the production of energy (ATP) by the metabolic activities in your cells something so difficult for your cells to do which led to an increase of fatigue and the Desire to sleep, YES CO is deadly bro, and sorry for my broken English also............
I'm from Finland and many people here have a summer house. (despite the name, many also visit them in winter). Going for a wash there is pretty much the same as in the video, for example there is no running water and the washroom and sauna are usually in a different building. The weather is of course not as cold and the cabin is used for vacations. However, I can relate running back to the cabin through the snow and sleeping well after xd All respect to people who live in these conditions.
Im from Finland too and as a kid I remember when we went to sauna in the winter and then ran naked outside around (yes we had neighbours :D ) the house in -25 degree, rolled and ''swam'' in the snow and ran back to the sauna. It was the best thing in winter!
I know a Finish guy, you people are tuff AF. We're currently having the coldest December day in decades in my town in the UK (30°F / -2°C at 01:04 as I write this) and the Mrs and I are complaining like a pussies and avoiding going outside, it rained the other night and my car is now covered in ice. It might be something to do with our brown eyes ancestry, but we are much happier when it's 80-90F outside. Thankfully no snow here on the coast since 2010 so I guess we should count our blessings.
@@IanDarley It's all a matter of conditioning. I sometimes wear shorts and t-shirt around 5 celsius while outside. Not because I have finnish TOUGH genes, but because I've intentionally tried to get used to colder temps while wearing less clothing. You can improve your cold resistance by taking cold showers. Proper clothing is also important in cold. Cold resistance decides whether you FEEL miserable, and the clothing selection whether your body continues to function when exposed to cold for extended periods of time
@@IanDarley i am from scotland but have lived in arctic norway for years and I would rather be in -25c over here than in 0 in scotland its weird but when it gets real cold there is no moisture in the air so it doesnt feel as bad as you expect which is exactly how you can end up with frostbite lol
😮 I could not imagine living like that it makes me so grateful for what I have and being able to jump in the hot shower. Man you guys are strong and tough. God bless you guys 💘
@ytsux9259 I would have kept water in my house like I would have kept it in a recycle bin bc it's big and deep, my mom use to do that when she couldn't pay her water bill. I live in Texas
I come from the Caribbean part of Colombia and I used to shower 2 times a day in "cold water" because of the heat. Now I live in Germany and during winters we shower once a day with lukewarm water. It is amazing how we adapt to our circumstances ❤️ keep up with the work. Also very surprised to see that your sister and I share names 🤗🤗
I love the factual manner of your presentation. Having lived in Saudi Arabia, a very cold state in Canada and now living in US, I can appreciate to a small extent the cold weather, the struggles of day to day life in extreme temperatures. Please keep up your nice work.
Wow❤️... and here in the Caribbean where I live we have to take showers at least 3 times daily because of the hot days and humidity regardless if having air conditioning. I love to see other cultures, their way of living through the seasons of the year, gastronomy, music, folklore, clothes, everything. Thank you for let us see this private part of our human lives❤️🙏🌍
WOW this is really amazing!!! Myself coming from South Africa, I feel like I will literally freeze to death - I've never even seen snow in real life or even felt it. The coldest weather I have experienced in Johannesburg is 3 degrees celsius. I appreciate that I can take a shower anytime, how ever many times I wish - and I also respect and adore the way of living in Yakut.
Lebo, I've experienced -4C in Roodepoort, and also snow in JHB in September 1980 - the last time we had any significant snow. Over 40 years ago now. Also grateful for my hot shower every morning!
Here in Delhi (India) we have polar opposite problems in summers, when temp is between 40-49°c plus humidity, so it's actually healthy to bathe twice a day to cool down body temperature because when you sweat in 40°c humidity it doesn't evaporate and then your body temp start to rise above normal.
My friend from Nigeria tells me the same thing, that in the North they only bathe at most, twice a year, and only during the hottest months as a way to cool off, as bathing is an expensive waste of drinking water
Here in the UK, I don't live in the coast so there's no humidity which means no sweat so it's like in an oven here being roasted, I could really use some sweat right now
@@deakksyy No humidity doesn't mean you don't sweat, wtf are you talking about. It means your sweat evaporates more easily, which makes your body cooler. In humid conditions where surrounding air cannot hold further water vapour, sweat evaporates slowly, if at all. As a result the body heats up. You know it's not the sweat itself that cools you, it's the sweat evaporating. If it were more humid where you live, you would feel even hotter. So be glad there's no humidity.
Watched this after having an (instant) shower in my crappy tiny old rental bathroom. I'm now much more grateful for the privilege of being able to shower myself and my kids whenever we want/need! I bet that steam bath feels amazing though 🌫️
I love your channel. I grew up in a little village in Poland, similar to yours, except of course the cold. I'm in Canada, Ontario now, so it's amazing to see how your life is so far away from me. I wish I lived there. Your community is wonderful. Bless all of you.
That one day of the week where they do the steam bath is probably the most satisfying shower ever. All of that work put in would make those 30 minutes of steam time feel like heaven
Wow! Getting to have a nice warm bath/shower is even a chore over there in the villages of Yakutia. That is quite a bit of work for bathing yourselves, especially having to chop wood outside in the frigid 🥶 conditions, but people have to make do and adjust to one's environment. We here in the states - I'm in San Diego, California, are definitely taking things like this for granted. Living in a big city we don't have to go outside to use the restroom or do anything rigorous to have a nice warm bath/shower but just turn the knobs in the shower stall or tub. We are lucky. I'm appreciative of what we've got here, that's for sure. My mom and sister have gone back to visit our homeland in Laos, where I've yet to go myself, and have experienced something different over there as well. They were staying up in the mountains during the hot and humid season and there were no air-conditioners nor running water. There was a hotspring for them to bathe in comfortably though. 👍They tell me the local foods were awesomely delicious over there too. I'll one day eventually visit where I was born in Vientiane, Laos. It is awesome that we can enjoy your experiences with you from the other side of the world through RUclips. I greatly appreciate your informative videos and I look forward for more. I'm hooked. 😁 Can you show us more of your cuisine? Please keep them coming.Thanks a bunch again!
My grandparents in Thailand live near the Mekong river and I never miss a chance to visit Vientiane whenever I'm up there! Laos is such a beautiful country with amazingggg food. I hope you get to experience it soon!
@@lavendericedtea That's cool. So you're Thai? Was just curious since you've said that your grandparents live in Thailand. I also want to eat a lot of the freshly picked fruits in Laos. I've seen all different types that I'd like to try. But definitely no durians cause they make me want to puke 🤢 and faint. No bueno. I might be allergic to durians. I don't know. I will make it back to where I was born. The thing is though.....I dread flying. From San Diego, California to Jacksonville, North Carolina the flight is like 7 hours and flying to Laos, as I'm sure you'd know, is pretty much a whole day. Yakutia looks pretty awesome, the people are seemingly very friendly over there from what I've seen in the videos, and I'd love to visit there one day. I don't know about during winter though cause I'm used to the warm weather over here in San Diego. 50 degrees fahrenheit is cold for me already. Other than going to Mexico, which is only about 20 minutes from where I live, I haven't traveled much outside of the states. I've only been to Florida, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Arkansas have driven through Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
@@kisdasenglothnam Yep! I'm only half Thai, but I do speak some Lao. Give durian another shot, especially durian desserts like cake :) Flying sucks, but it's so worth the long flights and airport hassle to get to where you want to go. If you decide to visit Yakutia, you should go when it's bordering winter just for the experience. Out of those states, I've only been to New York. In Australia, it doesn't snow in major cities (plus it's hot as hell) so seeing NYC during winter was like heaven on Earth.
Wow! What an effort. Where I live in Australia we work hard to keep cool. At night it can be 27c ALL night. You guys are amazing. Even in winter it can be 20 plus here.Winter only lasts 3 months. We are so spoilt. Keep up the good work. CAROL😮
When I was a kid living in the northeast of China in winter the temperature would sometimes go down to -30 degrees and more, but there were always public bath houses like the ones we see in Korean soap operas. I think they still exist nowadays but most people have moved into apartment buildings and have their own electric showers now.
@@TheEngineerJason this is some kind of culture. in north china there is a lots of bath houses. but in the south, almost everyone have their own bath room since 19th century.
Thank you for letting us into your lives. It’s interesting to see the way your lives are, is completely different. You make me want to learn more and more about your Yakut village
Ok, it's in Russia, who is currently committing war crimes. You get there on the Road of Bones, a road literally paved over the dead slaves who made it through the Cold War.
@@Lorrdd ok and Are these individuals who are living their lives in poor conditions somehow responsible for that? Or is what you said relevant to the conversation in any other way?
Can't imagine myself showering only once a week. Coming from the far eastern tropics, the Philippines where it is highly humid, I shower twice a day, sometimes even thrice on a hot day. It's because you can easily smell awful on a hot day if you start sweating. It's a sad reality that we take for granted the importance of something when they are in abundance. This video is an eye opener for me. I realize how privileged I am to have access to water at my convenience, and without having to cut logs into pieces and warm the bathroom for hours just to shower.
Your metabolism is slower in low temperature so you don’t sweat as much as a normal person would in normal heat. And trust me, if you had to do this routine once a day... it would be a full time job.
You guys are unbelivable...hats off to you. I am so thankfull to God that i have born in Assam (India). Here i can enjoy all the seasons. Winter, summer(not more than 41'c) rainy days...etc.
The dry squeak of snow under foot, the sound of splitting wood when it's that cold, almost sounds like it's shattering. Those are some sounds I'm very familiar with. That's extreme cold right there.
The disparity between places on this earth is just too amazing. Me, watching this with the daily temperature in my country almost roasting me to barbecue level.
Margery please trust. It is much much much better to be in the heat, that to be in such cold. heat hrts your skin. Cold goes beyond the skin, right down to the bone. I am not exaggerating.
@@nom5205 i completely agree. I have had a fair share of my own experience with the cold weather and i know i prefer the hot weather atleast i can use AC to cool down 😂.
When I taught in Western Alaska in a native village, the villagers would bathe as you do. Being a teacher, we had insulated pipes that came into our homes for running water, so teachers had regular showers. It was a special treat to be invited to a family's home to "steam".
Dig the video. I have met people in similar situations when it comes to bathing. Once I understand that many parts of the world actually have to bathe like this, I realized how fortunate I am to have " hot " water, let alone " running water ". That as well as a microwave, a dish washer, a clothes washer / dryer. A air conditioning as well as heater. And even solid walls and a solid roof to live in. One that's not going to flood, or collapse due to wind or rain. These are only a FEW things to be grateful for, and I'm thankful that I've met my friends in other countries which ARE NOT so fortunate. They introduced me to how to live WITHOUT what I considered everyday items. They call them " luxurious " . God bless all who dont have them.
What? You think this guy is somehow impoverished compared to you? He's living on wild animal meat, while you're eating donuts. His task for the day was taking a shower, yours was answering emails for your make believe job. You/we are living in pods in the matrix, while he's living wild and free.
@@thaistick2412 really? It's that why since for ever, any people who had the option between a "civilized" and a "primitive" existence invariably chose the latter? Kidnapped whites in the America's always escaped back to the wild, Indians being "civilized" in Indian Schools hated all of it and longed for their free living. People live in the world we're forced into because 1. We don't have the wherewithal to escape, 2. We don't really have the survival skills required 3. We're sedated with electronics and creature comforts I long for freedom, I think we all do. We're just slaves to the grind.
Thank you for teaching us about life in your village. I can't say that I could live in such a cold place, but I'm sure thankful that you chose to share. I pray that you and your family are blessed with good health and happiness.
That's so interesting! Here in Brazil people are used to shower twice a day. Sometimes even 3 times a day (summer) due to the weather. I hope to be able to feel what living in such a low temperature is like one day... It'll be an amazing experience for sure😊
These kinds of documentaries make me feel more thankful and appreciative of what we have. I hope this huge breakthrough of modern technology can aid these people with a solution in order to perform these daily tasks effortlessly.
@@xavierchaser504 I think OP meant something along the lines of freeze-resistant plumbing systems so the folks in the video can have running water year-roubnd.
Баня зимой хороша тем, что после парилки можно выйти на улицу и обтираться снегом. Контраст между высокой температурой в бане и холодным снегом создаёт ощущение лёгкости в теле. Кажется, что оттолкнись и полетишь в звёздную высь. Очень приятно и спокойно на душе от такой процедуры.
I live at 4,000' on the U.S./CA border, very remote in the mountains with no towns nearby. I've had only an outdoor shower for the past three years. In the winter it takes me about 45 minutes to roll out/connect up four hoses and a propane water heater. I take a 10 minute shower in usually 0-20 degrees Fahrenheit. After my shower it takes another 45 minutes to drain and break down the system and get it all stored inside. For about eight weeks in the core of winter (December, January), it is too cold for an outside shower as the water will freeze faster than it can flow in the hoses. Then I heat water on the stove and take a sponge bath and wash my hair over a bucket.
@@oriole8789 Wow, that is a big question that has many answers. I like the stillness when it feels like every living thing somehow agreed to be still for a moment in time. I like seeing so many stars that I don't even need a flashlight on a moonless night. I like the smells of clouds that get snagged in the trees and linger on the moss. I like the music of the wind, when it whispers and when it roars. I like the shadows of the snowflakes that are lit by the campfire and the brief life of a spark that lands on the ground. So many things, really! : )
@@Graybeard_ Haha that's a nice answer. :) I've spent a lot of my childhood in remote settings even though I've generally lived in large cities, so I've always been attracted to middle-of-nowhere places whether in nature or not, for pretty much the reasons you've mentioned. What's funny to me is that the sky almost loses all meaning when you're in a city. As I walk, I sometimes look at the sky and imagine the city just disappearing.. and how quickly your focus would shift from the city to the sky. Suddenly little weather patterns would matter a lot more. You'd be much more aware of the wind and the air around you. How nice the clouds really are. Living in cities really distorts people's perception of the world, and we become obsessed with problems that are immediately in front of us and stop paying attention to the fact that we're on a random planet in space. Cities give the ultimate tunnel vision, but being in remote natural settings is the opposite of that. You notice so much more about this world. Maybe I'll get a chance to do what you're doing sometime. I'd really enjoy it, including the hard work of sustaining yourself in that setting. Hope you have a good day, thanks for the reply! -Nick from Canada
Hi Kiun, I’d love a video about Yakutian literature! Yakutian authors, as well as oral tradition and the stories that have been passed on from generation to generation! You could divide it into several videos, one about authors, a few others about oral traditions. I love your videos, they make me want to visit Siberia even more than I readily do 😍
My heart goes out to you living the life you have in that cold. I guess a steam bath is better than nothing, but I'd still be washing myself off with soap and a cloth in between times. It does make you thankful for the conveniences we have in US. Many blessings to you.
I am just in awe by their lifestyle its like Ghibli came to life. Although I take what I have for granted, they seem to be humble people and have a whole different view on life. I honestly feel pretty embarrassed for myself lol. Thank you for these amazing videos Kiun, I plan on binging them and learn along the way.
Watching this as someone who basically lives on the equator where we have no other season than just summer (30 degrees C all year round) this blows my mind! I start shivering in places with air conditioning at 18 degrees Celsius room temperature, visiting this village would kill me before I even reach there! I am actually kinda jealous 🤣
У якутов генетически от предков передается переносимость морозов. Любой другой человек через 20 минут заработает воспаление легких. Я был в командировке в городе Сургут, там добывают нефть и газ, там было -52 градуса и это очень холодно. Хотя я был очень тепло одет, через две три минуты на улице ты начинаешь замерзать
@@Harrace your conditions are also insane to me, as a central european with temperate zone climate, are you sweating like the whole year, all your life, or are you acclimatized for it so you don't?
@@allabouttanya2205 only one thing people know about India is that they are No.1 in the world of Scam call center. Can you tell me why and how they do that???
@@TalatNoor557 US and other developed countries like Japan deserve to be admired, and they dont need to be promoted. They are humble actually. But India, lol i dont see anybody admires that country except your people. India has so many problems. So please be humble.
I have been watching these videos about Yakutia and it’s people. An eye opener for people living comfortably in mild tropics and temperate climate. I am realising how blessed people like me are, to lead such an easy and comfortable life. Children going to school in -40 degrees Celsius weather! I will stop complaining about my life and draw inspiration from Yakutians. I must also complement you on the quality of photography and sound recording. Superb job.👌👍
I love this video because it reminds me that EVERYONE can do this, it is just a matter of will and getting used to it. Yes us in United States have showers, but we often forget how strong we really are. If we had no other option, eventually we would adjust! ❤️
The neighbors support the lifestyle. Unlike isolated American lives, these people have a communal, inter-subjective experience of their civilization - and their importance within the group.
Полагаю дело не в том чтобы трубы не выдержат холодов, а в том что затратно проводить их в отдаленную деревню_. Я жила на севере Западной Сибири. Там точно температура достигала -60 градусов, а может и ниже. Трубы водопровода выдерживали. Трубы заворачивают в специальный изоляционный материал чтобы не лопнули от холода. Канал очень милый. Удачи!
Я из Нового Уренгоя, тут самая низкая температура на моей памяти была -57, ничего, трубы держат. Обычный город. Воркута, Норильск - то же самое. Так что да, властям просто нерентабельно коммуникации тянуть для маленьких населённых пунктов. 😢
Kiun - I am fascinated by your videos showing the everyday aspects of life and living in that area. Thank you very much for sharing. I live in the southern Caribbean. The twin-island state of Trinidad & Tobago. Typical temperatures throughout the year range between 20 degrees Celsius and 34 degrees Celsius. We do not have winters. I look forward to see more of your content.
Even though I am from Bashkortostan, Russia, and it doesn't get as cold as in Sakha, I still can relate to this video a lot!

I lived in a camper for a year and a half. I took military showers. I showered everyday in the summer, in winter every other day. I’m back in my home now and appreciate my hot water heater so much!
I absolutely respect these people and how hard they work for one shower,it shows how hot or colds it is.it matters about your attitude and your mindset.
I can't imagine myself living in a coldest city of the world. Really this people has like a power. I considered my city cold but it's just 10 degrees sometimes.
I've binged all your life videos over the last week and I'm hooked! Favorite youtube content ive seen in forever! I could listen to you talk about these things for hours! Thank you so much:)
I love these videos from Yakutia. I've never experienced anything like this, always had a house with indoor plumbing and heat. The only variation to taking a shower or bath occurred when I was a kid and we'd go to Maine in the summer. We swam in the lake all day so we weren't really dirty, but every couple of days we'd take a washcloth and a bar of Ivory soap (it floats) and wash up in the lake. We didn't have any indoor plumbing there.
it‘s absolutely awesome you share that to the world where many people take everything for granted when there‘s people having to work a whole day just to shower… many many people should have to live there to see that not everything is just existing and maybe, just maybe they could change their mindest and be actually grateful for what they have…

I recently learned how much I appreciate showers after my whole town did not have water for three days. It's tough and makes you really think about water being a luxury we don't even think about having. Being able to turn the faucet and shower anytime is really a blessing.

The comment I was searching for.
Those people are used to that environment, not like how you think! The reason they don't move or migrate is becoz they don't feel comfortable adjusting to our warmer environment, just like the same way you feel having to adjust to their environment. So, maybe, perhaps.., the little life necessities you have, ain't what they prefer?!?

You are only "thankful" for it because you are used to it.
Some people will be "thankful" that they can go out, hunt and kill their own food, make clothing from it and produce no waste.
Meanwhile, we travel to the shops, pay money for goods, travel home, then produce waste packaging, followed by food waste. The transportation of thr food to the shop will have produced waste, and the animals corpse will also have been thrown away once a small amount of it has been used.
Sometimes there is a bigger picture, this is normal for these people and they probably wonder why we waste energy and resources having hot showers every day.
Imagine being an ancestor and, casually walking through a -70°C, thinking "THIS, this will be our new home!"

Yeah, like efficiently designed housing and saunas, the amount of wood he burned for his tiny bathhouse could've fuelled two sauna nights in a 4 person finnish sauna.

In the coldest months you should leave the water on just a tiny bit, that the pipe has at least some flow and wont freeze that easily

Going for a wash there is pretty much the same as in the video, for example there is no running water and the washroom and sauna are usually in a different building. The weather is of course not as cold and the cabin is used for vacations. However, I can relate running back to the cabin through the snow and sleeping well after xd All respect to people who live in these conditions.
Im from Finland too and as a kid I remember when we went to sauna in the winter and then ran naked outside around (yes we had neighbours :D ) the house in -25 degree, rolled and ''swam'' in the snow and ran back to the sauna. It was the best thing in winter!

Wow! This will remind me not to take my showers for granted! I was thinking how good those 20-30 minutes weekly showers/steam baths must feel 🥰
Here in Delhi (India) we have polar opposite problems in summers, when temp is between 40-49°c plus humidity, so it's actually healthy to bathe twice a day to cool down body temperature because when you sweat in 40°c humidity it doesn't evaporate and then your body temp start to rise above normal.
thats good so why dont you do it
My friend from Nigeria tells me the same thing, that in the North they only bathe at most, twice a year, and only during the hottest months as a way to cool off, as bathing is an expensive waste of drinking water
Here in the UK, I don't live in the coast so there's no humidity which means no sweat so it's like in an oven here being roasted, I could really use some sweat right now
@@deakksyy No humidity doesn't mean you don't sweat, wtf are you talking about. It means your sweat evaporates more easily, which makes your body cooler. In humid conditions where surrounding air cannot hold further water vapour, sweat evaporates slowly, if at all. As a result the body heats up. You know it's not the sweat itself that cools you, it's the sweat evaporating. If it were more humid where you live, you would feel even hotter. So be glad there's no humidity.
@@deakksyy sounds like maybe you need to drink some water

Wow! Getting to have a nice warm bath/shower is even a chore over there in the villages of Yakutia. That is quite a bit of work for bathing yourselves, especially having to chop wood outside in the frigid 🥶 conditions, but people have to make do and adjust to one's environment. We here in the states - I'm in San Diego, California, are definitely taking things like this for granted. Living in a big city we don't have to go outside to use the restroom or do anything rigorous to have a nice warm bath/shower but just turn the knobs in the shower stall or tub. We are lucky. I'm appreciative of what we've got here, that's for sure. My mom and sister have gone back to visit our homeland in Laos, where I've yet to go myself, and have experienced something different over there as well. They were staying up in the mountains during the hot and humid season and there were no air-conditioners nor running water. There was a hotspring for them to bathe in comfortably though. 👍They tell me the local foods were awesomely delicious over there too. I'll one day eventually visit where I was born in Vientiane, Laos. It is awesome that we can enjoy your experiences with you from the other side of the world through RUclips. I greatly appreciate your informative videos and I look forward for more. I'm hooked. 😁 Can you show us more of your cuisine? Please keep them coming.Thanks a bunch again!
My grandparents in Thailand live near the Mekong river and I never miss a chance to visit Vientiane whenever I'm up there! Laos is such a beautiful country with amazingggg food. I hope you get to experience it soon!
@@lavendericedtea That's cool. So you're Thai? Was just curious since you've said that your grandparents live in Thailand. I also want to eat a lot of the freshly picked fruits in Laos. I've seen all different types that I'd like to try. But definitely no durians cause they make me want to puke 🤢 and faint. No bueno. I might be allergic to durians. I don't know. I will make it back to where I was born. The thing is though.....I dread flying. From San Diego, California to Jacksonville, North Carolina the flight is like 7 hours and flying to Laos, as I'm sure you'd know, is pretty much a whole day. Yakutia looks pretty awesome, the people are seemingly very friendly over there from what I've seen in the videos, and I'd love to visit there one day. I don't know about during winter though cause I'm used to the warm weather over here in San Diego. 50 degrees fahrenheit is cold for me already. Other than going to Mexico, which is only about 20 minutes from where I live, I haven't traveled much outside of the states. I've only been to Florida, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Arkansas have driven through Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
@@kisdasenglothnam Yep! I'm only half Thai, but I do speak some Lao. Give durian another shot, especially durian desserts like cake :) Flying sucks, but it's so worth the long flights and airport hassle to get to where you want to go. If you decide to visit Yakutia, you should go when it's bordering winter just for the experience. Out of those states, I've only been to New York. In Australia, it doesn't snow in major cities (plus it's hot as hell) so seeing NYC during winter was like heaven on Earth.
They might as well save showers for special occasions like weddings. 🤪
You get showers in jail
Wow! What an effort. Where I live in Australia we work hard to keep cool. At night it can be 27c ALL night. You guys are amazing. Even in winter it can be 20 plus here.Winter only lasts 3 months. We are so spoilt. Keep up the good work.

When I was a kid living in the northeast of China in winter the temperature would sometimes go down to -30 degrees and more, but there were always public bath houses like the ones we see in Korean soap operas. I think they still exist nowadays but most people have moved into apartment buildings and have their own electric showers now.
Nice
"Electric shower" huh ?! Must be a chinese thing, the last one with gas didn't end well either...
@@dmorfeus391099.9% of water for showers in america is powered by gas or electric, you are misinformed or are misunderstanding something.
When I was in Jilin in 2019 there were still bath houses. The first hotel I stayed in didn't have showers in the rooms, just a communal bath.
@@TheEngineerJason this is some kind of culture. in north china there is a lots of bath houses. but in the south, almost everyone have their own bath room since 19th century.
Thank you for letting us into your lives. It’s interesting to see the way your lives are, is completely different. You make me want to learn more and more about your Yakut village
Ok, it's in Russia, who is currently committing war crimes. You get there on the Road of Bones, a road literally paved over the dead slaves who made it through the Cold War.
@@Lorrdd ok and
Are these individuals who are living their lives in poor conditions somehow responsible for that? Or is what you said relevant to the conversation in any other way?
Can't imagine myself showering only once a week. Coming from the far eastern tropics, the Philippines where it is highly humid, I shower twice a day, sometimes even thrice on a hot day. It's because you can easily smell awful on a hot day if you start sweating. It's a sad reality that we take for granted the importance of something when they are in abundance. This video is an eye opener for me. I realize how privileged I am to have access to water at my convenience, and without having to cut logs into pieces and warm the bathroom for hours just to shower.
Asian people don't smell like shit when they sweat so they do it rarely
Your metabolism is slower in low temperature so you don’t sweat as much as a normal person would in normal heat. And trust me, if you had to do this routine once a day... it would be a full time job.
True ...i love my baths too!
Holy fuck, you shower three times per day? Do you do anything else?
My brother 5 times 5 minutes a day.
You guys are unbelivable...hats off to you. I am so thankfull to God that i have born in Assam (India). Here i can enjoy all the seasons. Winter, summer(not more than 41'c) rainy days...etc.
Just before she said he’d sleep like a baby I was thinking myself, man that routine has got to give some of the best sleep ever!
U act like he has heat homie probably uses fire to keep warm n that means getting up to keep it going so probably not
@@mattharren1237 bro they have heat Lmfao just not running water since it will freeze
The dry squeak of snow under foot, the sound of splitting wood when it's that cold, almost sounds like it's shattering. Those are some sounds I'm very familiar with. That's extreme cold right there.
I always hate the squeak noise lol but I like how easy it is to split wood seems it’s brittle
Those logs sound so dry
Yeah whatever BRETT. I suppose you're an expert now??
@@thenoobalmighty8790 I mean you used all caps for my name, so I must be of some importance.
@@bretts3046 ok so why are you very familiar with those sounds??
In the Philippines where it feels like summer every day, we take a shower once or twice any time of the day!
Thanks for sharing. I was dumbfounded!

It's the same here in Jamaica 🇯🇲 summer all year . So twice a day showers 🚿 for most persons
The disparity between places on this earth is just too amazing. Me, watching this with the daily temperature in my country almost roasting me to barbecue level.

Margery please trust. It is much much much better to be in the heat, that to be in such cold. heat hrts your skin. Cold goes beyond the skin, right down to the bone. I am not exaggerating.
Same here.
@@nom5205 i completely agree. I have had a fair share of my own experience with the cold weather and i know i prefer the hot weather atleast i can use AC to cool down 😂.
@@nom5205 never knew that
When I taught in Western Alaska in a native village, the villagers would bathe as you do. Being a teacher, we had insulated pipes that came into our homes for running water, so teachers had regular showers. It was a special treat to be invited to a family's home to "steam".
Dig the video. I have met people in similar situations when it comes to bathing. Once I understand that many parts of the world actually have to bathe like this, I realized how fortunate I am to have " hot " water, let alone " running water ". That as well as a microwave, a dish washer, a clothes washer / dryer. A air conditioning as well as heater. And even solid walls and a solid roof to live in. One that's not going to flood, or collapse due to wind or rain. These are only a FEW things to be grateful for, and I'm thankful that I've met my friends in other countries which ARE NOT so fortunate. They introduced me to how to live WITHOUT what I considered everyday items. They call them " luxurious " . God bless all who dont have them.
What? You think this guy is somehow impoverished compared to you? He's living on wild animal meat, while you're eating donuts. His task for the day was taking a shower, yours was answering emails for your make believe job. You/we are living in pods in the matrix, while he's living wild and free.

@@thaistick2412 really? It's that why since for ever, any people who had the option between a "civilized" and a "primitive" existence invariably chose the latter? Kidnapped whites in the America's always escaped back to the wild, Indians being "civilized" in Indian Schools hated all of it and longed for their free living.
People live in the world we're forced into because
1. We don't have the wherewithal to escape,
2. We don't really have the survival skills required
3. We're sedated with electronics and creature comforts
I long for freedom, I think we all do. We're just slaves to the grind.
Thank you for teaching us about life in your village. I can't say that I could live in such a cold place, but I'm sure thankful that you chose to share. I pray that you and your family are blessed with good health and happiness.
That's so interesting! Here in Brazil people are used to shower twice a day. Sometimes even 3 times a day (summer) due to the weather. I hope to be able to feel what living in such a low temperature is like one day... It'll be an amazing experience for sure😊
3 times a day in winter 5-6 in summer every day for me. People think i'm crazy when I tell them that, I just laugh.

This is exactly how we bathed at my grandmothers home in a little village in Siberia, nice to have the memories brought back
Баня зимой хороша тем, что после парилки можно выйти на улицу и обтираться снегом.
Контраст между высокой температурой в бане и холодным снегом создаёт ощущение лёгкости в теле. Кажется, что оттолкнись и полетишь в звёздную высь.
Очень приятно и спокойно на душе от такой процедуры.
I live at 4,000' on the U.S./CA border, very remote in the mountains with no towns nearby. I've had only an outdoor shower for the past three years. In the winter it takes me about 45 minutes to roll out/connect up four hoses and a propane water heater. I take a 10 minute shower in usually 0-20 degrees Fahrenheit. After my shower it takes another 45 minutes to drain and break down the system and get it all stored inside. For about eight weeks in the core of winter (December, January), it is too cold for an outside shower as the water will freeze faster than it can flow in the hoses. Then I heat water on the stove and take a sponge bath and wash my hair over a bucket.
Sounds like an interesting setting. What do you like the most about living in a remote location like that?
It makes me question why don't they heat up water and put it in a bucket, it seems easier
@@oriole8789 Wow, that is a big question that has many answers. I like the stillness when it feels like every living thing somehow agreed to be still for a moment in time. I like seeing so many stars that I don't even need a flashlight on a moonless night. I like the smells of clouds that get snagged in the trees and linger on the moss. I like the music of the wind, when it whispers and when it roars. I like the shadows of the snowflakes that are lit by the campfire and the brief life of a spark that lands on the ground. So many things, really! : )
@@Graybeard_ Haha that's a nice answer. :) I've spent a lot of my childhood in remote settings even though I've generally lived in large cities, so I've always been attracted to middle-of-nowhere places whether in nature or not, for pretty much the reasons you've mentioned. What's funny to me is that the sky almost loses all meaning when you're in a city. As I walk, I sometimes look at the sky and imagine the city just disappearing.. and how quickly your focus would shift from the city to the sky. Suddenly little weather patterns would matter a lot more. You'd be much more aware of the wind and the air around you. How nice the clouds really are. Living in cities really distorts people's perception of the world, and we become obsessed with problems that are immediately in front of us and stop paying attention to the fact that we're on a random planet in space. Cities give the ultimate tunnel vision, but being in remote natural settings is the opposite of that. You notice so much more about this world. Maybe I'll get a chance to do what you're doing sometime. I'd really enjoy it, including the hard work of sustaining yourself in that setting. Hope you have a good day, thanks for the reply! -Nick from Canada
@@Graybeard_ -Poet, aren’t you!😊
Hi Kiun, I’d love a video about Yakutian literature! Yakutian authors, as well as oral tradition and the stories that have been passed on from generation to generation! You could divide it into several videos, one about authors, a few others about oral traditions. I love your videos, they make me want to visit Siberia even more than I readily do 😍
This information is truly amazing. The amount of work needed to perform even the simplest of daily task is astonishing
ruclips.net/video/Y1YOGLFHMSA/видео.html
Weekly task.
My heart goes out to you living the life you have in that cold. I guess a steam bath is better than nothing, but I'd still be washing myself off with soap and a cloth in between times. It does make you thankful for the conveniences we have in US. Many blessings to you.
I am just in awe by their lifestyle its like Ghibli came to life. Although I take what I have for granted, they seem to be humble people and have a whole different view on life. I honestly feel pretty embarrassed for myself lol. Thank you for these amazing videos Kiun, I plan on binging them and learn along the way.
Wow!! I feel spoiled showering whenever I want too. Bless you for your weekly shower. Makes us appreciate what we do have. Bless you!😇
Watching this as someone who basically lives on the equator where we have no other season than just summer (30 degrees C all year round) this blows my mind! I start shivering in places with air conditioning at 18 degrees Celsius room temperature, visiting this village would kill me before I even reach there! I am actually kinda jealous 🤣
У якутов генетически от предков передается переносимость морозов. Любой другой человек через 20 минут заработает воспаление легких. Я был в командировке в городе Сургут, там добывают нефть и газ, там было -52 градуса и это очень холодно. Хотя я был очень тепло одет, через две три минуты на улице ты начинаешь замерзать

I have been watching these videos about Yakutia and it’s people. An eye opener for people living comfortably in mild tropics and temperate climate. I am realising how blessed people like me are, to lead such an easy and comfortable life. Children going to school in -40 degrees Celsius weather! I will stop complaining about my life and draw inspiration from Yakutians.
I must also complement you on the quality of photography and sound recording. Superb job.👌👍
Thank you for showing this..just got a whole appreciation for the basic things we take as granted or as normal commodities.
What an incredible routine! I will never look at a shower the same again and will never take it for granted! thank you for sharing!
I love this video because it reminds me that EVERYONE can do this, it is just a matter of will and getting used to it. Yes us in United States have showers, but we often forget how strong we really are. If we had no other option, eventually we would adjust! ❤️
Easier said than dun @redpandafilms7734
very true.
As an American I feel guilty that there are so many people living in inhospitable places and have severe hardship.
It's hard enough to get out of the shower on a regular day. Now Imagine having to force yourself out of a sauna while you live in -70 degree weather
The neighbors support the lifestyle.
Unlike isolated American lives, these people have a communal, inter-subjective experience of their civilization - and their importance within the group.

Total respect for you guys. For me, 20 minutes and it's all over. Constant hot water that we appreciate so much.
Полагаю дело не в том чтобы трубы не выдержат холодов, а в том что затратно проводить их в отдаленную деревню_. Я жила на севере Западной Сибири. Там точно температура достигала -60 градусов, а может и ниже. Трубы водопровода выдерживали. Трубы заворачивают в специальный изоляционный материал чтобы не лопнули от холода. Канал очень милый. Удачи!
Я из Нового Уренгоя, тут самая низкая температура на моей памяти была -57, ничего, трубы держат. Обычный город. Воркута, Норильск - то же самое. Так что да, властям просто нерентабельно коммуникации тянуть для маленьких населённых пунктов. 😢

I love these videos from Yakutia. I've never experienced anything like this, always had a house with indoor plumbing and heat. The only variation to taking a shower or bath occurred when I was a kid and we'd go to Maine in the summer. We swam in the lake all day so we weren't really dirty, but every couple of days we'd take a washcloth and a bar of Ivory soap (it floats) and wash up in the lake. We didn't have any indoor plumbing there.
it‘s absolutely awesome you share that to the world where many people take everything for granted when there‘s people having to work a whole day just to shower… many many people should have to live there to see that not everything is just existing and maybe, just maybe they could change their mindest and be actually grateful for what they have…
