They wasted nothing, old adult dresses were cut down & remade for children, knitting was a regular pastime, and most people only owned one pair of shoes - only brown or black ! Yet their homes were tidy & clean & white painted doorsteps were a sign of a well kept home !

Canadian here, and my rural grandparents made a log cabin with my uncles (their sons) even more simplistic than most of these houses a few decades ago. Same kind of general idea, logs with plant insulation, single wood stove in the center of the only room, and disconnected toilet. However it wasn't for living in, it was used as a family and friends cottage vacation property. It's a lot of dirt roads and bit of a hike to get there in the summer, but in the winter snowmobiles can make it through the narrow forest trails. Typically we would only use it for about a week at a time, and there was a public diary of sorts that my grandparents left there where people have left their stories and thanks after using the cabin for shelter when caught by bad weather.

@@null_pointer_deref I have to disagree with you Samuel I watched friends of mine they had a thousand acres in Virginia and they let this family manage and they were supposed to be just cutting down the dead trees it was all hardwood all oaks and after about 15 years at thousand acres of trees was gone

[@null_pointer_deref]

@@Valerie-bb5hi A lot of factors can influence that outcome, like how many trees were there to start with, and how fast they cut them (did they only cut what was going to be used? Did they sell the wood?). In any case, I'd like to see how Yakutiaks manage this, because as seen in this video, there's still a lot of trees around.

[@Valerie-bb5hi]

@@null_pointer_deref yes I was amazed at the beauty because usually those kind of temperatures trees do not flourish and the people I was thinking of this was solid oak old oak trees on a thousand acres and these people cut down what they needed to use each winter it kind of angered me because they were taking advantage of an elderly couple they said they would just cut down the dead ones and keep the woods clean anyways there aren't any left. This was historical property too it was owned by one of the founding fathers, Patrick Henry

I watch your videos to ease my own dislike of our winters here. We get down to -25 F in the dead of winter in northern Michigan. But that is rare and not constant. In January it can be in the single digits often with lows below 0 at night sometimes. Watching your videos makes our cold not seem so bad. We heat primarily with firewood and use propane as a backup.

[@georgielynn4187]

I love your videos. They're always so much fun and so informative. I give a lot of credit to the people in Yakutia for all their hard work. It's so sweet to see how much he loves his horses!

Inspiring indeed. We heat the house with wood too. We live in the forests of Croatia. Not so cold here though. Only minus 4 or so. Living through a winter, one must be well-supplied. Always have your chest full of food. And have candles, because the electricity can fail when it snows. Other than that, this is a great life. Like in Yakutia.

I admire their way of life and impressed with how they thrive in harsh conditions. Since the video asked, We built a steel framed barndominium with 8 inch thick spray foamed walls and ceiling. We basically live in a Yeti cooler. Although we have central air/heat, we only heat our home with wood burning stoves, we have 3 but 1 will keep the entire house toasty warm even with outside temp at negative 5 degrees Fahrenheit. We can and do cook on them as well.

We use geothermal water to warm our houses in Iceland. Houses are extra strong built to take different weather. Which changes fast.. they also need to be able to take earthquake and winter storms. But the wind is worst of all

[@ximono]

This is very similar to Scandinavian building traditions. We really have a lot in common up north. I live in a similar log house from the 1700s, with a big fireplace in the middle. It’s not as cold here, but I still use firewood as my main source of heat. I even have a similar "root cellar" in the ground, but it’s only used in the winter. I wish I had a sauna! With a well-built and well-maintained traditional house and lots of firewood, life’s good. I don’t even like modern houses anymore, and apartments make me uneasy.

The Sioux would do this also, they are called sweat lodges, and after getting nice and hot you then go bathe in the freezing stream or with snow melt.

I am from Northern Minnesota where it can get to -40° F. It's very odd, but living in the cold is a great way to live a happy life. During summer, you as so appreciative for the rebirth of the world.

I love Minnesota and I respect people from cold climates.

Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later. The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.

I love their way of living, I live a life a bit similar. I live alone burn wood therefore I have my wood to stack in the spring for the winter , all of the work that needs doing I do. I live in the country off by myself I love it. I enjoy seeing how other people live, their culture, I find it interesting, my favourite program. The coldest it get where I live on a lake on a mountain is 30 below, we have very strong send blowing up the lake so it seems colder. I love the fresh air outside. I think it is wonderful that were you live you can walk to the store. I think you have a wonderful way of living your life, healthy, enjoyable way of living with your animals. I am surprised you don't have a dog. Thank you for sharing, I am looking forward to next time. From Canada.

Hello guys, I leave in Siberia and we also have winters up to-40 C. However there is huge number of modern technologies to insulate house to make it more thermoeffective, no needs to use moss for that. Also charcoal may be used for heating instead of wood. However people in Yakutia rather resistant and love to live the same way as their ancestors lived.

[@kalzonenu]

Yeah thaughts the same thing, 100% a new house with the right indikation would work better.

[@rubenskiii]

Lots of people chose to live like that, but for lots of people the modern technologies are simply to expensive. Especially if it's western stuff it's expensive, even Asian(Chinese) products are not that cheap, because they have to travel a long way through nothing and trainlines are mostly meant for bigger cities. Driving a car in winter is difficult and the distances great.
