Was just reading the description for this in the federal archives and decided to throw title into RUclips, so glad it's been made public.

I love snow and deep snow is ok to a point. But if i was out in the middle of nowhere and going one hundred yards took an hour or so would scare the hell out of me . Survival skills would determine your fate for sure. With no modern technology or gear these guys are the definition of toughness. Nice film
