Yukon River Village of Tanana at 50 + Below Zero - Stan Zuray

- Опубликовано: 19 май 2019
- Little taste of Interior Alaska cold mid winter. Hard to even film as camera and hands gets cold fast. Have an old longer video (1970's) of a dog trip that started out at 50 below and warmed up into a wind storm into the trip. Not the best quality cameras back then but real picture of dog travel in the elements. Go to: • Big Wind Yukon Dogs - ...

Thanks Stan......glad to see you sharing videos
Enjoyed Yukon Men while it was on TV. Really enjoying your utube videos of all aspects of Tanana and utilizing the river etc for food and transport. -50, bbrrrrrrrrrr
Stan making us all feel warm and cozy, lol. I cant imagine what it takes to adapt and thrive in that environment but Stan sure has. ATB.
Greetings from Maine! ✌

Stan you seem like you are willing to take on any challenge you are such a inspiration to us all thank you.
Love this show I truly wish it would return to TV.
Dam I miss that show....
If i ever lived over there I move back in winters
I wish the show would come back
facebook.com/thestanproject/
Hopefully this will happen. People are working hard on it. Check it out.
Stan Zuray I am all for it
Me to Yukon Men was the best
I think the show ended in a perfect time. The first 2 seasons were incredible and still are the best of the series.
...and to be honest, the editing and narrating started to go for over dramatizing everything, which made the show lose it's magic for me. (as has happened in numerous other reality shows also)
The stan project is something to wait for.
@@-Viceroy- I could not agree more with you.
Thank you for the video. It is nice to see news from Tanana.
Stay save.
Greetings from Germany
Love watching the show, especially Stan & his family
Thanks for showing us the beautiful sky and snow !!! I really do miss seeing all of ya'll from the show !!!
I visited Tanana for a week in the summer of 98. My friend who lives in Tok was dating one of the nurse practioners at the time. You had about 7 churches back then. I was hoping to see a salmon run but it wasn't a great year for salmon that year. I think it might have been the first year Alaskans were beginning to notice global warming.
I would have been 40 miles upriver at my fish camp
Thanks for that, Stan. So many times I took the road back to my house with my dogs and now I have a video of it. Brings back lots of memories.
Glad you got to see that Chritian. Although at that temp it probably brought back more than great memories. Best Stan
Stan Zuray....un mito!
It's part of official temp readings so it's not a myth. Check it out yourself.
I just watched all your video's. Your outlook on things is awesome. The people that live up their are lucky to have you in their life.
Thank you Stan..always enjoy ur videos..
Chilling video. Thanks Stan.
Nice video Stan, reminds me of the farm back in the 60`s.
That looks like just the weather I need for my arthritis, camped out in front of the wood stove lol.
Thank You for sharing your video, and your lovely weather with us. ATB

Hi Stan, greeting from Buffalo, NY. clear nights here mean cool nights in the winter. I read that parts of Alaska have unusually warm weather right now. Stay safe and blessed.
Thanks for sharing, always thoroughly interesting.
you the Man Stan! living the dream, my dream.......... one day
Thanks for explaining the difference in airport temperature. Take care buddy.
Thanks for the video. It’s been in the mid 90s here in north Florida.
That was nice to watch, thank you for sharing a bit more of your life with us, it's really good to see how others live in around the world...it looks so sereen and tranquil. You certainly made the right choice when you left to live your life in Alaska .... Watching you from the East Coast of the UK.😁😃😘
Thanks for taking the time to share your life with us. It's very fascinating. Greetings from Sturbridge, MA
You the man Stan lol I can’t imagine me being out there that cold lol
Hi Stan thank for the video :)
Great video , Stan . Thanks for making it . Greetings from The Nederlands

I really miss watch Yukon men ...
Beyond cold!
Great video , Stan . Thanks for making it . Greetings from Louisiana !
Brrr! Dealing with lots of tornados, here in Oklahoma. Be safe, Stan.
Just heard that on the news. you stay safe
We say snow sled you say snow go lol. I’ve had 3/4” steel bust up north in Maine when I worked at a lumber mill because it was 25-30 below ❄️
Snowgoes get real brittle. Don'r like to run them past 30 below but end up doing it all the time. Dogs ain't no picnic past 30 below either.
Always interesting.
Greetings from Ester, Stan.
The coldest I have ever been in is -7 in jersey... I can’t imagine 50 below...
Hallo Stan , Liebe Grüße aus München 😃
Stan you have lost that yankee accent! Love it...💗💗💗
at least your snowmobiles engine wont get hot, you can rip it
I miss the show. I would love to know how the people of Tanana are doing and what's going on.
Check out my Facebook and others from Tanana
Hey Stan , long time Yukon fan. really glad your still producing Videos . My favorite one of all time, on Yukon Men. When you had to fix your truck, I know there was a couple of those , but I think it was when you got into the front diff and drive shaft,
this metal piece had broken and you went into the shop found some similar piece of metal and manufacturer the needed piece !
and it worked ! amazing. I had friends like that once, in a little New Zealand town that had that skill.. its a great one to process.
First time I saw 'teen center' pretty nice building, hey? Well kept. So I'm thinking its 50 below ... right . Your going in to the center to start the wood stove and warm it up ? right . If you turn off the ' Snow Go " how do you start it back up to go home after the teen center is closed? Phil
At 50 below you can turn off a warm snogo and start it back up say even an hour later or more easy and it'll go. Remember a completely cold one can start at 25 to 40 below without any help from a heater etc. - depending on model.
Hi Stan, is it winter in Alaska already? I would love to know this magnificent state. Congratulations on the video.
No winter just ended and it's heading into summer now. Real warm 50 to 80 depending on cloud cover each day
Hey Stan hows it going!? This might sound silly but do your eyelids stick at all when its that cold out? I never thought about that until now for some reason. Beautiful landscape and a gorgeous sky too!
Sometimes the eyebrow hairs can get stuck just like beards. I use to shave in winter and let my beard grow out a little in summer because of things like that. Even tough a beard is warmer in other ways.
Holy smokes I live in northern Alberta and at 30 below nobody goes out sledding lol never mind 40 and 50 below lol
Sometimes although not lately, we have seen a month of weather that barely never sees above 30 below and down to 50+ during it. Those times we have to check traps on multiple day trips and do all the normal things we do. Each thing done however takes so much longer. I used to think nothing of heading out on the trapline when it warmed up to 30 below. Remember going 10 miles downriver by dogs to visit neighbors at 50 below for fun.
Stan thanks for sharing how many times have you got wind burn on your face from riding around in weather that cold
Not much. I am very careful not to let it happen. People who don't don't make good cold weather travelers. Once you get frostbit good that spot is never the same for years. I often have said you have to be w wimp in the cold and always be making sure you don't get beyond a certain coldness in your body. Especially with dogs you have to be on top of things as they depend on you to have it together. A snowgo you walk away from and get warm somewhere and no worries - no so with dogs.
Warming up to -30 ! God how do any animals survive in that kind of cold?
They got good fur from staying outdoors all the time. Their metabolism runs high. People also get used to it. Been out for days in that cold and after a while you feel fine with it. Real rough the first day out after being in a warm house at nights though.
@@stanzuray ill bet. I watched ice road truckers once and saw a dog in a pin that was shivering so hard ! Felt so sorry for it. No warm place to go. Just sitting in snow. Ive seen how you all have dog houses for youtr dogs but i was thinking of the wild life too.
When was this filmed? I hope it wasn't in the past day or so. lol. Glad to see a new upload, Stan. Keep them coming!
Oh no. Filmed mid winter. We got real warm 50 to 80 depending on cloud cover each day now
@@stanzuray Wow, you're getting some nice weather then. Here in Southern Canada, we are seeing the same temp's. It's been unusually cool here for us this spring.
On know y’all are used to the truly cold weather but is there a time when the town shuts down? Or is that just for blizzard situations?
When it's cold it slows way down but people often have to cut more wood in the cold stretches. Town never shuts down. We have had dances at the community hall at 50 below before. The coldest year I had to cut wood for a older person at 70 below (official temp) and it was colder on the lower river where we went to cut wood. Chain saw air cooling intake was completely blocked off and started in the house and put in the sled running. Rear of the SnoGo was keep up in the air with a block of wood and track running while I cut the wood and filled the sled. Everything is a problem at cold temps like that but we don't have the luxury of kicking back totally at all.
Stan Zuray wow a dance at 50 below! That’s amazing to me. I love how y’all care for your elders and how the community looks after one another.
Hi Stan from Saskatchewan.... what's the most reliable snowmobile in your opinion for the extreme cold?
That's a hard one. Once running alot will go in the cold okay. I like my 540 Viking (new style with the heated carb) as it's simple and can get at every part of the engine etc. real easy to fix in cold. 2 stroke also. Only thing is any one larger than a 340 cc is not going to start without help from a heater etc. at 50 below. My old single cylinder Bravo and Tundra and Tundra 2 could be pulled on 30 times and maybe start at 50 below. Try that with my 540 Yamaha Viking and you'll pull all your arm muscles. Best I ever started it was once at 30 below. I have to heat it with hair dryer when colder that 25 below but then it'll run all day. That's why I like dogs.
I had a little trouble making it out, did he say it was Christmas in this video?
Yes around that time but not Xmas day.
@@stanzuray Thanks so much for the reply Stan! I love seeing your world up in Tanana. I was just hoping you weren't still having that much snow and cold in May!
This is a mid winter video. I realize on mobile phones many don't read the videos description but it talks about that there.
@@stanzuray oh thanks! Haha guilty! I didn't think to check there!
I would say your temp was in the range of -25 / -33C after that smoke would be going straight up for about 20 feet before dispersing. But there is a breeze which would drop the wind chill real quick. I know different systems of measure but -40 is -40. Great video, was that the Moore compound? Is James selling a lot of wood during the cold snap?
That was Pat Moore's place and James and anyone else can sell all they can cut. Always a market for it
@@stanzuray cool how is your break up going? Really low water here this year. Might be a tough summer for low water.
How it look for forest fires? Really dry in the bush? Looks like you did not have much snow.
Did you guys get a lot of logs after break up. My favorite line from Yukon Men "go ahead throw your hook".
Break up was easy as thinner ice this year. Fire forecasts are almost entirely dependent on the weather at hand and have little to do with low or high snow in winter they say. We have had some rain lately so probably about normal fire danger now. Logs are coming down river now so lots are being fished out of river.
Just saw these comments by chance - usually don't check this far back each day. Happy to answer questions but make an entirely new comment so I see it. Thanks best , Stan
What’s the Chill Factor at 30 MPH
Not sure. For some reason we don't talk chill factor much here. A snowgo starts the same at 30 below and no wind as one in 50 mile an hour wind at 30 below. Dogs and humans now that is another issue
I wouldn’t want to live in any other place in the world
When you trace back the natives far enough, you come across Alaska.
at a hudred pounds soakin wet i wouldn't last there 2 long. lol
I love the extreme cold. Save me a piece of land for my retirement Stan. Life in the lower 48 SUCKS you ain't missin nothing buddy.
Did you say "Pat Moore's house...." Can't believe you keep the dogs out side and the still live..... Must be some dogs....my God it's mid May......😨 -50f ......
If you bring the dogs inside for any length of time it triggers their fur to shed and triggers their metabolism to not deal with the cold. The absolute best is to let them deal with it naturally (as long as they are healthy). Keep hay under them and don't close their outside houses up to much causing their fur to get damp. Many people make that mistake. I did one of my early years up here when I put blankets over their dog house doors so their breath got them all wet - then they get run down fast. Look at an animal like the Marten (like a weasel). Short fine fur and lives fine at 30 to 60 below stretches.
@@stanzuray ya I understand it.... But around here there are people that phone the SPCA because the cows are out without blanks on them in the winter 😰!!!! Looks like Tom Moore still has alot of dogs....
I think ya gotta be nuts, or born to it. I don't like southern New England winters.
Y tus perros
So you're saying dogs freeze their nuts off .
Their penis sheath
It’s pronounced tuh-nana
Not with a Dorchester accent. Just Kidding - some people do the Tanana as Tunana
