Warmest Tent on Earth - Pitching in the Siberian Arctic Winter - Ненецкая палатка чум

The Nenet reindeer herders need to move their tent every few days throughout most of the year. Every time they migrate they must pack the whole tent away, drag it across the tundra on sledges, and erect it again in a fresh place, sometimes in temperatures of minus thirty degrees. Survival depends on working together as a team.
After staying in the wooded taiga for two months they start to migrate north following the ancient paths of migrating reindeer (caribou). In four months they will travel up to 1200km and must pack and move every three to five days to keep up with their herd. They must reach their summer quarters before the snows melt and flood great rivers with icy waters too cold and deep for the calves, born along the way, to cross.
Behind the tent an invisible line extends out into the tundra. It is called the sawei line, and a woman cannot cross it. It will bring bad luck to the tent. It was hard for them to explain exactly why, it is much stronger than a superstition and is connected to the spirit pole that stands at the back of the tent. This pole is sacred and a woman cannot cross underneath it either, and only a shaman may sit in this holy place. The origins of this are a little lost, there may be practical reasons, for example the back of the tent is traditionally where the men work, often together, so they have to be able to move about freely, but there are often two families in a single tent, so maybe one day the women just agreed territories to stop tripping over each other. Maybe it has such a mundane origin, or maybe there are real spirits that come up to the tent from behind and would bring harm to any women caught in the wrong place. If several tents pitch together, their lines must not cross either, so they tend to camp in a straight line to avoid this.
In answer to the many questions - on personal hygiene, everyone washes using a bowl of soap and hot water, just like most of our grandparents did before everyone had pipes and taps. There is no toilet in the tent as some have suggested, they find a spot a few hundred metres away. They are not pitching on a lake but a small mound where the snow blows a little thinner, Gas companies have been in the area and gave away snowmobiles as part of land access negotiations. Also sometimes there are competitions with them as prizes, sometimes they sell a load of reindeer and buy one. Most families now have at least one but the reindeer are still used a lot. Yes, they use a sled to go to town, or trading posts to buy groceries.
I wanted to catch the entire process, but have edited it down a little from the 40-45 minutes it takes to get from the open snows to a warm cosy home.

Just to explain the music, as it seems to be loved or hated by you. Firstly, I am not a production team with camera operators, sound recordists and a producer telling the local people what to do and when to talk. I catch what I can and leave people free. This means snowmobiles, talking behind the camera, lens focus noises (I don't have cinematic lenses) and endless wind noise. Also in this video I was flying my drone over to record the exact pole placements, top and bottom and this was impossible to remove completely. So the sound I get is often awful. If I can get some music from the local people I always prefer to use this, but this is not always possible. I cannot afford to buy in expensive music. The KZbin stock library is, in my opinion, lacking in decent world folk. I have tried free music sites but get constantly hit by copyright claims even when it is licenced to me. So I have started composing my own music. Some of you seem to love it, some of you hate it. I guess it will always be this way with music. I am truly sorry if you hate it. But before you leave a negative comment perhaps ask yourself what you can offer instead. if you have any better suggestions - local, indigenous, freely licenced, beautiful, then do let me know. KZbin does not allow creators to change the sound track, but I can at least use it in the future. I am always open to learning and making things better. Many Thanks.

I like the music fine, but felt it out of place. It feels eerie and daunting, which is in contrast to what's happening on the screen. In addition, I find that most want to hear all the sounds being made, and the music level is a little too loud which takes away from the activity. Perhaps you can try something a bit more neutral/upbeat. All that aside I appreciate the work you put in, good job and very informative!

What a wonderful story of people who manage in a wild environment. They take life in its stride and cope with the hardships we will never encounter unless the Ice Age returns. It amazes me they can work with so many layers of clothes on and the kids look like little bundles of fur but so cute with their traditional coloured clothing. Moving every 4 days though would get tedious if you didn't take it for granted, we do what we do to survive and if that means moving every 4 days then so be it. They are highly ritualistic, something I had never thought about and recently found out about Aboriginals and how you cannot mention the name of someone who has died, and it made me wonder what else is known about the Nomads life practices. All in all a great story.

[@louiseheiwood2688]

Honestly, it’s all about community when it comes to survival. The hyper individualistic mindset instilled in Americans kinda crippled our ability to collaborate as communities. Back in the day, during times like the Great Depression, people in impoverished communities would show up at their neighbors’ homes that were being auctioned by the bank, they’d bid only pennies and threaten or literally physical force out people that tried to bid too high, the community would essentially fuck the bank over for their neighbors. Don’t see much of that today in times of crisis, not to the same extent

I love seeing this. I'm so glad some people are still living this way. It is very interesting seeing their set-up, tents, etc. and how they go together. I lived under my canvas teepees for years in these tall mountains. Generally I only moved camp twice a year. Their pole set was very interesting to watch too. Teepees only have seventeen poles in the set. A tripod of poles, north pole, south pole and door pole, holding up another twelve poles. The last two poles, making up the seventeen, are smoke flap poles. I loved seeing their liners and inner tent. Their inner liners are so colourful and attractive. Like them, I always built a partial floor that my teepee surrounded. The wooden floor would keep me up off the ground where I would sleep and lounge near the wood stove. My teepees always had canvas liners that gave the structure a chimney effect so the wood smoke would be sucked out the smoke flaps. I always used a wood stove as containing the fire is so much safer. Over the years I've seen a couple of teepees go up in flames from open fires inside the tent, and it happens fast when things catch on fire. Seeing the people in Siberia, with their reindeer hide tents, etc. reminds me so much of how our ancestors lived on the plains under their buffalo hide teepees. I know what that freedom feels like since I've had many years of experience, always living alone (with my dogs and horses). My teepee days are over, I have electricity now, a computer and even the internet (this modern age is something else) but no phone. My last dog died when I was sixty and that was a few years ago now, so I live more alone than ever. Now I'm an old man, simply living in my small cabin here in these rugged mountains. I'm so grateful I led the wilderness life I lived and I have great memories of those years I lived in my teepees. I'm always interested in seeing and hearing about how the people in the northern hemisphere are still living out on the land, I hope that lifestyle never ceases to be.

[@VovaSidorOff]

It's Arctic Siberia. -50C is not an extra temperature.

[@EShirako]

I think they were saying that you can "hear how cold it is right then" because of how 'crunchy and gritty' the snow is. It stops being the 'cute' snow that most Americans know, and becomes the gritty not-sand and sorta-rock that true cold can make it become. It's like crunchy-sharp sand, and if you crush it it's not AS sharp as crushed glass, but it would feel rather like it to most humans in any kind of blizzard/windstorm. You can *hear* the difference in this snow vs 'cute snow' by the sounds it makes in your shovel and under your feet. So basically, ToRestOrRange was saying "Wow, I know the sound of that snow...I know that that is amazingly cold even if I don't see a thermometer anywhere!" Me...I'm amazed by the idea of a tent that in any way can help you survive "negative-30-to-50 with the wind going". Any amount of wind, much less a storm of any kind! Those tent layers must be an art form in and of themselves to make. And talk about rugged...those little kids are giggling and cozy with there being snow still all over the floor, and the door flap is open to the outside. Wow.
