    Reindeer Family And Me
    Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan is travelling to the frozen north, deep inside the Arctic Circle, to meet the ancient Sami people and the animals they hold so close - reindeer. Known as the reindeer people, the Sami were traditionally nomadic, relying on their precious animals to help them survive the Arctic's harsh winters. Gordon lives with a Sami family in Finnish Lapland to experience their unique culture and to learn about their special bond with reindeer. He works to earn the trust of his own reindeer companion, before leaving behind his adopted family and setting off alone into this land of ice and snow. With only his reindeer to guide him, but armed with the knowledge of his hosts, Gordon wants to immerse himself in this frozen wilderness and attempt to witness the natural phenomenon the Sami most revere - the magical northern lights.

    Petri was going to teach him everything he knows about reindeer? Really? He gave him a half bag of food and left him to it. Not much of a lesson there. We were told they have thick fur (with hollow hairs) which insulates them. Is that all he learned about these animals? He'd have taught us more about reindeer adaptations if he'd written to Father Christmas for information.

      @@samsalot6115 yeah it's cold, but doable with proper clothing. -30c and more the nose hairs, eye lashes and facial hair start to freeze because of the moisture from breathing, and frostbite risk is getting more serious with toes, fingers, cheeks, ears and nose areas if not wearing proper clothes and staying still for too long in that kind of weather. Coldest I've witnessed was around -40 celsius on two occasions in Finnish lapland, but it isn't too dangerous if properly equipped and not staying too many hours outside without warming breaks
