- Many people acked me in comments: Where do tundra nomads get all the cigarette and chocolate and lots of condensed milk? Their grocery shopping is very tricky thing! So I decided to dedicate a new video to this interesting process

The blue eyes of the reindeer! I recently learned that their eyes turn from brown in summer to blue in winter. The blue helps them see better in the low light of arctic days. They are the only mammals on Earth to have this adaptation 🤩
Not true. Crystal Gayle's brown eyes can totally turn blue.

Really interesting to see how they survive in that harsh environment. Respect to their lifestyle.
I was wondering how they made money it would be so cool to pay him entry of their lives
@@madc.8153 most likely selling fur and possibly reindeer meat.
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 just be Glad ur not living in africa people take stuff like this and ur life for granted stop complaining
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 and there definitely not starving like Africans are
@@madc.8153 just be glad ur not living in africa cause I'm sure you rather live here then in africa stop complaining
As someone with no sense of direction, I am amazed how they know their way around the tundra. Getting to the town when there’s nothing but snow surrounding then for 186 miles. 😳
I get lost almost every time I go in our little shopping malls, once I get to this country I lose all hope of going anywhere😂😂😂
right??! i’m 63, how’d i make it from el paso tx to ft. lauderdale 👍🏽 the whole way 🤯
I have such high respect to their lifestyle… i travel 3mins down the road to buy my groceries, i can’t imagine how far they travel just to get their basics… such an eye opening for me ❤
Western world is a very spoiled and materialistic civilization. They create wars on purpose to make profits. They used sexualization of children to change laws. The western world is evil in so many ways. The people allow the Khazarians to rule the lives of the American people. The American people are blinded or choose not to care what happens in other countries and States. America is a selfish country compared to Africa. India, Malaysia etc..The children of North America have no survival skills. They know there computer and the artificial intelligence has made the youth extremely intelligent compared to others outside of America.
100 foot high respct,how high
Grandma and Mom so Pretty and HOMES full of LOVE and CARE for the Beautiful Children.
the baby in the shop staring at all the treats they're getting XD so cute. Its clear they could easily survive without all the luxuries but sometimes the luxuries is what can turn a bad day bareable, so I could see why they'd want to restock on little things like treats and pasta etc
Like children all over the world, they zero in on the sweets section.
That was so cute to see
That’s true. But to only have like books, is best secondary to anyone.
@@sakurapablo671
*To have whatever makes one happy is best whether that be books or toys or paper and ink to draw or music or an instrument or…*
Imagine lack of foods. No TV or anything. That's how our ancestors lived anyway and survived.
I am hooked watching this series, how we take for granted everything we can acquire like eating hot meals everyday . Really amazed by the simplicity of life far from civilization.
Life far from civilization… until the go shopping. Then they are not far from civilization. Fake af.
While they may not have the material things we associate with the word civilisation, they have things which the "civilised" world sadly lacks......peace, harmony, tight-knit families and freedom. Which way of life is the more civilised? I think their way beats ours hands down. I know I would never survive more than a few hours out there, and I know the physical reality is brutally hard, but I envy the bedrock of their civilisation.
Agree
@@snowysnowyriver you are absolutely right! I too envy.
@@snowysnowyriver you make their lives sound like an easy fairy tale. You have no idea if their life has "peace" and "freedom". You have no idea if there is abuse in these "close knit" families. I'm sick of people saying they envy them. Maybe these women don't all want to live like this.
It must be in their blood to live such lives in those cold places. They all help each other and are real survivors. This is amazing how happy they seem to be.
They do not have resources to live another lifestyle.
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever.
They use skidoos to do their grocery shopping. In the old days they probably had a sled and a dog team.
@@irisyn-yeBut they can afford snowmobiles. That makes no sense
I wonder if genetic IQ has any play
My great grandfather came from this life. He moved to the US and married an Irish woman who gave birth to my grandfather who moved further in and fought in WW1 and WW2. He married a German woman who gave birth to my mother who then gave birth to me. I look at the pictures of my great grandfather. It's so endearing to me how strong he was. I live in constant fear that one day I will lose everything. I doubt this family worries that much. It's an odd feeling I can't describe watching this video.
Sounds like you feel a visceral connection.
As someone who has visited the tundra, I can only say that it’s not an easy life. It’s so cold out there that you don’t shiver but your body aches in pain. Three days and I spent most of it indoors whereas these people are constantly working for their survival and the survival of their animals.
they have chosen for that lifestyle
@@lovely_351 not really. Their ancestors settled there long ago and the future generations have only known this life. They might not even have enough money to get settled in urban areas.
@@yuhyuh5674fact.
@@yuhyuh5674 theyve become genetically and culturally accustomed to this climate and way of life, sending them to urban areas and deculturalizing them will lead to high suicide and alcohol abuse rates among other modern social problems which they do not have
Adapt or evolve maybe their skin is not the same as ours anymore same as those water nomads in Southeast Asia where they can breath longer in the water.
The kids are so cute. I hope they all have a happy life and longevity. The rest of the civilized world is so full of sadness, evil and chaos. Love and peace from Memphis TN
"Civilized" 😅
Get off that depressed crap. It's not even that bad.
Nice sentiment but "civilized" is not the best word
Yes those cheeks are everything ! So cute and well behaved Lol
From Memphis lmaooo I’ll take the reindeer
At first glance you'd see a simple life out of necessity...but at the end when the lady speaks and says - "...no shops, no temptations, no waste time...", then you realize they know more than most people in this world.
No temptations, as they drink sweetened condensed milk.
We've got no idea of what real life is.
If this is real life, I'd volunteer to stay in the matrix
@@shrimpmoney8obviously not what they mean
@@shrimpmoney8 aaw lol ll lol
They're not loners. They are just free. Nothing from the outside to bogg them down. Amazing.
Much respect to them. I love winter, but I wouldn’t want to live this way. I do love how they seem happy with what they have. They seem so grateful. And the work never ends!
Helo is it in Alaskan please ?
Is it in Alaska? Please
@@seeker3963 Close enough - it's Russian tundra. Genetically they are the same people as Alaskan/Canadian Eskimo.
@@thecommonchumps3937 👍👍
Same here. I'm used to eating cook meat, hot shower and cook our food in the kitchen not in one room that would drive me nuts. Heck I don't even fry anything in our home. I cook it in our backyard. Can't stand the smell of fry fish etc.
Never take small things for granted. This is what I learned from watching this video. ❤
I found my self a new obsession i am hooked on this series and plenty more like this i've learned to appreciate what god has blessed me with and i respect the woman and men for the role they each play in there daily living they are dedicated to their reindeer and each other in such extreme bitterly cold harsh weather god bless them all
So cute when the baby took a seat at the table, and was ready to eat. It's amazing to watch these families manage to survive in their freezing cold environment. I admire them greatly. God must take pleasure in looking down upon them.
I like that last line
“God must take pleasure in looking down on them “
@@pacman5511 lmfao. Kinda creepy
@@pacman5511 Allah SWT enjoys the highest of pleasures. We are subordinate to him regardless. Even if we greatly hated Him, we cannot truly be at peace with this hate, it is our nature to love Him in return. It is better to love our creator, as He reminds this world does not belong to us, only to Him, and to Him we will return. Nothing we do is without Him who allows it.
Same when that lil boy got those tangerines.
@@dapep8886 bro I ain’t even religious like that but it’s tru
Lol I see how it sounds inappropriate tho but be mature
I think these people are happier than many others who have comforts and luxuries all around.
they're probably in a lot of pain and don't have access to care.
I seen one where they have a little one room house like and it had a wood stove in it bed and where they moved they reindeer pulled it to the next stop and the women would once a year go in like a cave and get class but they had to hurry before the tide came back in
Absolute respect and admiration to these people. Seems like a tough but rewarding life.
Indeed. They aren't like us who live an easy and privileged life. We have everything at our fingertips and we're never pleased or happy with what we have. Puts things in perspective.
Their coats are amazing! I live in Minnesota. They could become wealthy selling those.
Helping each other out when their snow mobile gets stuck. 💗
Not many people will even help someone nowadays with car trouble .
They're family though. Most people would help their family with car troubles if they were on a trip together.
Grew up on an Indian Reservation and I think I have way much easier but, its kind of heartwarming to see people living the same I used to. Not in teepees but like in put together structures with the bare minimum. A bed, a stove, a table, and some chairs. To me its reminds me that at the end of the day their people trying to survive in the only they know how. Living the same why I do now with what they have and making their living same way but with herding. They live a hard life and they try and make it easier and happy as they can. Wouldn’t you?
Do you think these people have Indian roots? Look at their cheekbones and hair, it looks similar to many different Native tribes
They choose this life. They have options as well. Where do you think they got the money to buy food? Exactly from the government.
@@glow1815Exactly, in Russia they get money from government and their profession is called оленевод. I have no idea how much is it. They have a choice, only primary school is obligatory. No one keeps them forcefully in reservation, most of siberian ugro-finnic nations live in cities and have modern life.
Люди сохранили свои традиции, свой быт, национальный образ жизни. Я знаю, что не все они так живут, Кто-то выбирает городскую жизнь, но есть те, кто не мыслит свою жизнь без тундры и оленей. Они даже одежду предпочитают свою национальную. Это же всё сшито женщинами, вручную, из оленьих шкур. И так красиво и аккуратно сшито.
Зелёный змий делает свое тёмное дело😮
I respect all these parents for providing food and shelter for their kids.......that is all that matters.
Добрые,открытые люди,всегда вызывают у меня уважение!! Условия жизни очень тяжёлые,труд оленевода тоже не из лёгких.но они улыбаются,радуются ,растят детей .пусть у них всё будет хорошо!!!!
ur goverment genocded them
@@burakbayir4919 Why are you writing lies? These peoples have benefited greatly from the alliance with the Russians. The Russians brought them modern medicine, education and civilization. Before the arrival of the Russians, they had a huge infant mortality and epidemics, which they managed to overcome, because the Russians opened hospitals there, treated and vaccinated the children of nomadic peoples. Indigenous peoples are also rich people, they make good money selling reindeer meat, fish, and deer antlers. They have bank accounts.
No, Soviets killed them in ww2 times . They were speaking Turkic. U forced them to speak russian. Siberia does not belong to russians. its mother territory of turk and mongols. you all will burn in hell for that.
@@ЕвгенийШ-е2м You russians should respect the original owners of this land, it belongs to ASIAN HERITAGE.

❤❤. These people have such endurance. Yet people here complain because someone put mustard on their burger and get violent. These people have such a hard life and we need to be soooo appreciative of what we have. Maintaining their culture and lifestyle comes with many challenges and sacrifices. Thanks 🙏 for sharing this video.
My husband was stationed in Alaska for 2 yrs...there was ALOT to get used to! That was as much of the cold as I ever want to experience!! Much respect to these people!!!!
All that way for such a small amount of groceries, crazy! I love being able to see how others live, it really can turn a ungrateful day into a thankful one. I don't think I would survive living this way, these are strong people!
Edit 07/05/23 : I would just like to say that I did see they bought other items like yogurt and other foods. I guess I'm just so used to seeing massive carts of groceries in local marts for families. And to my understanding, they eat a lot of high protein/fat so they require less "junk" like we city folk do!
I was shocked at the small amount of items they bought as well
Same here, that’s such a long travel and he buys 2 cartoons of juice and 3 chocolate bars? Makes no sense! Unless they really bought a lot of the canned goods in the other store that was mentioned right after!
@@BeBo-zo8vk unbelievable, hope so too!
They just didn't show you everything. Usually they take food and fuel in large quantities.
You know, there is absolutely no reason for them to live there-there are big cities and towns with everything, including schools for their kids, they CHOOSE not to. They do have a choice, they can easily move. they choose to live their traditional lifestyle.
I feel like I'm watching a National Geographic documentary or BBC series. Great shots and videography. You are talented and skillful in capturing these people and the realities of their lives. Thank you for doing this and sharing with us. New subscriber.
They hate any Russian
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever.
Yo ahí muerte segura
I want to give those kids big hugs. Blessings to them all
Mucho ánimo para todos que sigan por siempre con esa valentia😊
That little smile at 00:49 just melted my heart. Hard life but a simple one. Im jealous they are mostly free of the tethers we have.
Such an amazing people!
The reindeer are amazing as well.
Such a humble lifestyle!
Thank you for sharing!!!

I wish i could li e this life they live being native american my daddy and his parents my grandparents lived on a res and they had to travel with 15 kids yes my grandmama had 15 babies and my daddy was one of them.. i would live how my ancestors lived in a heartbeat .. what a beautiful way.. respect
I don't know what else to say, that hasn't been sad already, except I bow to your bravery . My deepest respect to all.
Much respect to you guys. Wow, travelled 300 KM to a near store to spend 800 rumbles ( $14 dollars).
Most of the people can’t even walk 5 min to a store without using a food app. Bravo 👏
My grandmother is native Siberian, unfortunately she passed away when I was a kid. I'm grateful for everything she taught me and I'm happy to watch this video tonundertand more how people live in cold weather. I enjoy winters more than summers I can't tolerate heat so much, something is pulling me towards living in Russia and I don't know what it is.
Siberian summers can actually be very hot))
I love these people. So polite, easy to make happy. I'm a tropical person and I'd never survive in this environment. But I understand how great such a life can be.
It’s very reverse lifestyle , sun drains out a lot of energy, tropical people tend to be slow and a bit lazy , while when you live in this kind of cold environment you gonna die if you won’t move , you have to get up and do something )
@@toprakbulut7964 slow amd lazy. Wow. Its just that we have more resources and hence less need for work. I mean in a temperate climate you plant what once a year. We plant up to four times. We're not lazy. We're just blessed. But to say lazy, wow. And we have less need for war.
I love this!! I enjoy watching and learning about new places, people, and things that I wouldn't know about otherwise! It's amazing to me that we all live on the same planet, yet there are places that seem so foreign when we learn about them! Great show!
The lengths they have to travel just to buy food. Wow. Really thankful for these everyday things we take for granted
There is something touching about this lifestyle, the close bond they must have to manage and live together. The food and everything is so strange to me but the people seem lovely and the children are adorable.
I'm even more amazed at the dogs, how they're able to trot and play in that subzero snow, totally adapted to the weather! As a native floridian with a chihuahua, it marvels me 😂
Wow, moving every 3 or so days!!! Seriously amazing. I was stupidly thinking at the start "hmm, wonder why they don't build a wooden home?", well now I know. Truly amazing individuals.
They are gipsy. Move all the time they
Have to install those tent ⛺️ pack and unpack give them some to do
The Nenete people are just amazing and your video makes us know what their life is like. Undoubtedely it is hard and we just have to admire them for their ability to adapt to this extreme environment. Thank you very much for this awesome video.
Sending love to the very beautiful Tundra people. Safe travels for them always. I hope this reaches you and those you love in great health and happiness❤️🙏😎
Thank you ❤
🙏🏽❤ Yes, love from me too!
I love how happy their dogs are when they come home -- exactly like our dogs when we come home! Some things are the same, wherever families live 🥰
@@patrushevs_stories eles compraram comida
How in the world these people can live and survive in such harsh conditions is a testament of human endurance and adaption. Truly amazing!
Я преклоняюсь перед этими людьми! Пока у нас есть такие люди нам никакой враг не страшен.Дай Бог им здоровья.
I love the Nomads! I'm in California, where its always the same. Sunny and warm, however,I yearn and pray that it may snow. Plus look at the nomad wives,such beautiful,radiant skin,and just the cinstiutuin of these people radiates,strength,humility,and heritage.

When it said that they move every two or three days, it struck me that here was a very effective way for the rest of us to solve the problem with hoarding or just accumulating too much stuff. If I knew I had to pack up everything I own and move in two days, believe me, a HUGE haul would be headed for Goodwill! I would make minamalists look like hoarders!
True
😆🤣🤣🤣
My Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) says, "In this life i am like a person who takes a break under a tree and then packs and moves on".. whenever they win or lose, in both cases again he says "The real life is after-death life!".. we hook on everything here for vain actually we define many things as "need" while they are not really in fact.. like a fish hooked in a net, which eventually makes it a delicious dish for some others..

I live in a tropical archipelagic country, and I will probably never feel snow in my life. This is beyond fascinating for me. Thank you for sharing it.
I did not even know that there are reindeer herders. And that they've maintained the centuries-old nomadic lifestyle.
They remind me of indigenous communities living in the mountains in my country. Except that they're not nomadic and have learned to settle and farm crops.
me too, it's summer most of the year here and it's fascinating for me who haven't experienced winter ever to watch the opposite of where I live! 😮
@@deeoh9420 summer only is 3 months or so here sometimes I wonder if it was hot all year long would I become even more lazy?
@@Pactastic042 probably. i'm used to the heat, so i get lazy in the cooler months instead. it makes me want to stay in my bed.
i also wonder if i were in a freezing cold country all-year long, maybe i will be lazier and just stay in my bed keeping myself warm lol
I live in Boston. We get all 4 seasons. You're not missing snow. It's COLD
@@BubbleGumzKorner Snow is the best thing in the world. I would rather move up there to the north where it's always snow instead of a sunny warm coast
God, must be so hard to live like that. But you know people living life like that are very humble....
What a fascinating and simple way of life! It really shows what the bare necessities are when it comes to not just surviving but even having a decent life. When she was saying, no shop, no temptation, no wasted time, I was scrolling through an online shopping app, and I was guilty as hell 😂
Life's what you make it. This way of life could be modernized. You don't have to worry about government trying to ruin your life if you're away from so called civilization.
Honestly watching this made me happy, like look at how peaceful life is ❤ also watching how they made their food and everything just looks delicious and amazing.
These vlogs will be helpful to the anthropologists of the future, I love what you guys do and I hope (with due respect) this is honest work and not exploitation. Thank you.

I just love the little shop they use to buy groceries.
Like the cashier standing behind the counter in wait of what you need and putting it on the counter, it's like something out of a Videogame.
I loved that too 😢❤
that's pretty common in Russia, especially in small towns or villages.
What does it mean civilization? They have their own priceless civilization!
You my not have what you need but you got to love what you have and these people seem to do just that!! What a incredible people ❤
Тяжёлый быт,но никто несчастным не выглядит-молодцы!
This is an amazing program. The life is so hard. The men and women are brave, courageous, and strong. The children are so capable. For them it’s a constant fight for survival, hence people don’t have time to waste and misbehave. They learn patience and tolerance. There’s team effort, team spirit, and camaraderie. Such a hard life!! Greetings from a Polish Australian.
Obviously , life for them is so hard! We live in our comfortable home and always take everything as granted, What a shame !
I’m embarrassed in Hawaii and admit I wouldn’t make it one day!!!! 😮
Actually, the shame is where you assume everyone takes their lives for granted because they don’t choose a life that’s as difficult as others….
They are happier than us !!!!

One thing: they sure know how to pack! Not a wasted inch! Kudos!!
Thank you for this wonderful video. It answers questions that I have had. They are truly blessed to have such a simple and happy life. I have dreamed of visiting the Arctic since I was in elementary school. Thanks for a great series.
Amazing people. Im teary eyed watching this. Thank you for this wonderful video. I learned a lot.
Omg I’m afraid of frostbite kids are just playing and happy . What a way of life . God is so amazing he put us all to where we belong . Always cold .
That lady’s skin looking fabulous!
Its always fascinating to see how different humans can live ❤
I love that they don't have any insects there.
They are so much happier and content with life compared to a lot of us that have all these luxuries, gas, electricity, big stores, etc....
It's actually more expensive to get to the shop and come back then the actual groceries
Huge respect to them
We all should learn as kids at least how to survive by ourselves in the wild, recognise food from different environments, make fire, build a quick shelter etc ...
Gas in russia is cheap especially in siberia, it's not that expensive to go grocery, it's just time consuming
in these cases I justify the tons of sugar! these people need to stay warm throughout the day! much respect for the hard life and independence! god bless.
This is amazing. Preserving culture, race, and way of life in the year 2000.
I live in Alaska and I can understand this beautiful way of life!
In Alaska, did the indigenous peoples still retain their traditional way of life?
@@oldbagira2192 not really
I'm certain "bush" life is still a subsistence lifestyle. Airplanes, boats and snowmachines have surely helped.
This gives a whole new meaning to running to the store for bread and milk.

I'm doing a marathon of the nomad videos and loving them!
What a fascinating life, so unimaginably different to what we experience. Amazing to see how they live.
Never thought I’d see Nescafé gold in a nomad reindeer camp.
The tiny store is nice. Dried fruits would be nice to have in stock.
I was Labrador NFLD once it was -66 🥶 it was Not fun, going outside at all!! It literally takes your breathe away. We went to watch a Hockey Game that night in an arena and heater where on.. But it was still -30 inside the arena. I was so cold it took Me two days to warm up. No joke.
What a fascinating look into the unique lifestyle and resourcefulness of the nomadic peoples indigenous to the Arctic tundra regions! This video provided incredible insights into how they adapt and overcome the immense logistical challenges of "grocery shopping" while living a nomadic existence in one of the world's most isolated environments.
I was amazed by the meticulous organization and pre-planning required to stock up on all their supplies for extended periods cut off from any towns or shops. The scenes of them methodically loading sleds with everything from canned goods and flour to candy bars and cigarettes really highlighted how self-sufficient they must be.
It was humbling to see how mundane items I take for granted require an epic improvisational journey across punishing landscapes for these communities. I can't imagine the level of preparation needed to predict their families' needs months in advance and gather what limited provisions are available from remote trading outposts.
At the same time, the ingenuity in rationalizing resources and minimizing waste was inspiring. You could feel their deep appreciation for simple conveniences, evident in how excited the children were for treats like condensed milk. It was a poignant reminder of what's truly essential.
Beyond the captivating visuals of loaded-down sleds traversing frozen tundra and rivers, I appreciated the cultural insights woven throughout. You provided a respectful glimpse into how their provisioning traditions connect them to the land and reinforce self-reliance and strong family bonds.
While their supply journeys are utterly unique, at its core this highlighted our shared human needs for sustenance and comfort - just accomplished through vastly different means in the extreme Arctic. An illuminating window into survival skills from another era and ecosystem.
Love this. I can imagine quite a lot of this, I grew up in Alaska. But we were among the lucky ones to be able to drive the three hour trip to a store in a regular vehicle every few months for some bulk shopping. I've put a lot of miles on snow machines before, but never for trips for groceries lol.
Very amazing video. Thanks for sharing their daily life.
Warm greeting from Indonesia.
Amazing people! This is why we humans have survived: cooperation and adaptation to our surroundings. I had to laugh when he asked for some yogurt at the shop. I don't know why that struck me as funny. The chocolate I understood!! LOL!
Hey, yougurt is just as important as chocolate! Maybe more so 🤔
The most incredible thing is how this kind of live still survives in our days, I think is awesome we can enjoy it in our days.
So humbling to see them shop. Makes me wonder who’s civilized.
What a crazy existence, the film maker is lucky to have had the experience of staying with them
I love watching these videos. Thanks for sharing.
The beauty in these humble, happy, healthy and hearty people is something very special! I love the mom who says with cheekiness and twinkle in her eyes, "We shop once and live easy... no waste in time and no temptations." She absolutely knows the value in her family's lifestyle. I have to show my jaded boys the little Arctic boy who looked with huge eyes and wonder at all the "luxuries" on those 7 shelves in that simple one room store. Maybe then they'll appreciate our local Costco warehouse and not complain about the lack of latest trending snacks and junk food. Perspective is powerful.
"Perspective is powerful" says it all. ❤
Люблю такие фильмы про кочевников, оленеводов, счастья, здоровья вам и успехов в работе!
Nomadic lifestyle this generational is very pleasing to see , unattached to the distractions of our everyday lives in more rural communities/cities etc. Very wholesome living 😊
I don't turn my heat on in wisconsin winter and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. I find it helps me stay humble and be thankful as well as forcing me to cook a nice meal when I want to be warm. I like this way of life and makes summer that much hotter. I love these videos and can only imagine what life for these people must be like. In a way I am jealous, given how entitled we have become in the states.
Lovely people. Simple, fulfilling lives away from any pretentious shallowness; I love it, I left the big city long ago and now I live in a semi rural area. Greetings from an Argentine man with Russian ancestry.
