Simple Living in the World's Most Extreme Conditions

Today we’ll show how people live in the villages of the coldest inhabited region on Earth — Yakutia. How they have learned to survive in such harsh conditions. Life in rural Yakutia is very different from the lifestyle most people are used to in other countries. Authentic traditions are still preserved here. People here live simple but meaningful lives. Families keep cows, horses, chickens, goats, and more. Livestock farming is the foundation of Yakut villages. Even today, cows are milked by hand, grass is cut with scythes, and hay is gathered with rakes. People here live off their own household. They drink clean melted water and eat only natural food — meat, milk, fish, berries, and mushrooms. Everything is their own and fresh. Life in Yakut villages flows in harmony with nature and animals. In this video, you will see the daily routine of a very simple family. The couple is around 65 years old. They have spent their entire lives here in this village, without seeking easy paths or changing where they live. You will see their ordinary day: household chores, caring for animals, calm conversations, and a life without rush. Enjoy watching!
