Just to say for those who aren't aware: 5:10. That is pretty much perfect technique for splitting logs with a two handed axe. Obviously he'd get on better with a smaller log, or a bigger axe (which will have to wait until he grows up) but he's nailed the skill. Clearly extremely well taught!

[@genericasianperson6405]

Would a splitting maul be better? I always see videos on KZbin showing them but I've never used one or even seen anyone using them outside of KZbin

[@RusakovLA]

@@genericasianperson6405 They are already using axes for splitting with about 30 degrees blade.

[@doctajuice]

@@genericasianperson6405 a separate maul is great because you can throw a hammer at it and hammers have a lot more weight at the head than axes... But it's only reasonable for home or farm use... If you're going way out into the wilderness carrying hammers and mauls is a bunch of weight you don't want, especially if you're well trained with an axe

[@diogenes.]

It needs sharpening, it shouldn't be bouncing like that

[@artieaddeo2731]

They have gas powered Chainsaws ,,,,If they can get a gas powered log splitter they could triple wood production.Just a thought😁

[@samuelbarrington2170]

I'm an American. My lifestyle consists of buying food, having plentiful drinking water, electricity, heat and air conditioning on demand. Screen time, gaming, and being relatively sedentary. The largest problems I face, and the majority of the people living in the United States face, are considered slight inconveniences to people living this type of lifestyle. In all honesty, this kind of simplicity in life is something I envy. From the constant bombardment of modern day politics, to people hating each other just for existing, and everything in between, watching this makes me jealous of the Yakut lifestyle. Simple, Wholesome, Surrounded by friends and family, and everyone gets along. It's places in the world like this that restore my faith in humanity. I come from a country that's "Devoted to freedom", when in reality, what we see here is true freedom. Being self reliant, purpose driven, hard working and family focused are values we have lost in the modern world. Arian and his family truly know what it means to live free and prosper. God bless all of you, and thank you to Kiun for delivering such an eye opening docu-series into the daily lives of these people, who have so much more in life than just material things. God bless you, Yakut residents. Love from the United States.

[@chrisdooley6468]

Fascinating. Such Hardy yet happy people. I think the actual ‘summer’ is only like 7-8 weeks before it’s fall again and marching towards that long winter. A friend of our family who works in the natural gas field says that once all the snow is gone there’s a period of about a month where the swarms of mosquitoes are like nothing we’ve ever seen. They apparently lay eggs just below the ground and they hatch once snow is gone

[@evanlucas8914]

It's so cool to see how things are different yet the same across the world. My uncle lived out in the country in the US. Like 60 minutes to the nearest fully stocked grocery store country. For the longest time he used a wood burning furnace. Every spring and autumn I'd go and help him fell and chop wood to use in the winter. I grew strong using wedges and a sledge to split apart massive hardwood tree bases. We'd break for a hot lunch with a cold drink and then get back to it until the sun started to set. He had a hydraulic log splitter at one point but it broke down and would cost waaay too much to repair it. So everything stayed manual.

[@grandiruka44]

It's an interesting story, I hope I could have a childhood like that :)

I love seeing hard work like this. I also loved the little competition and the fact that the brother that lost was still smiling at the end. I would have loved to participate in this activity.

[@rakib8936]

The inhabitants of this area, are very happy as compared to others around the world. Because they live together, work together, help each other and respect nature. I think you will not find all of the things in one frame in today's world. Arian is being raised as their parents, actually they have kept their tradition which is another important thing in this modern world. Overall, they can survive here because of the above mentioned things. If I hold enough money, I will go to yakutia once in my life.
