How to Get Food in the Coldest Village on Earth, Yakutia

If you are wondering what we eat in the coldest inhabited place on Earth, here is the answer. One of the way of how we get the fish from the lake and eat it during the whole winter. Munkha is traditional ice fishing using a seine net. The whole village gathers together to take part in this massive fishing activity.

I love how the lady at 3:30 is like “the weather is so warm, like spring”. Really puts into perspective just how harsh the climate is in Yakutia. Love this channel.

If only other parts of the world treated our wildlife as amazing as this village! Waiting 3 years to harvest fish to let the population grow! Truly amazing thank you 💕

It's great to see local Yakutian peoples caring for their environment, respecting the nature 'spirits' and sharing the fish with everyone, no money involved at all. We should all learn by this custom. The old man is right about the small fish, in respect to fish like sardines which are very healthy

What a great tradition! All the people coming together to harvest and make sure all share. Life may be hard but I think it's filled with lots of love.

You may live in the coldest habitable place but the people who live there with you have the warmest heart. Some may live in warm countries yet have the coldest people around them. Thanks for sharing this beautiful videos.

Приятно видеть людей которые не забывают своих традиций и свой язык

What an inspiring tradition, all working together like that to support everyone in the village by sharing the work and the harvest. The wisdom of the elder who leads the harvest is used to contribute to the whole community. This is the way it should be. It is also very good that the lake will be left to fully recover for several years before it is fished again. This is the balance and sustainable way to allow the fish population to fully recover and regenerate.

Here in the US so many of our elders are in "homes" living away from their families and communities. They are made to feel their lives are over and they are being housed and waiting to die instead of being valued and valuable member of their communities. We are wasting them and missing out on their wisdom and experience. Thank you for sharing this amazing tradition! It's an example for the world.

That was beautiful. Seeing the whole village gathering together to help one another to survive the harsh winters and just having a good time.

I envy in this people they are caring one another and I feel the spirit of unity I'm so envy

[qflower]

If only we could be like this in other countries. No fighting, nothing but a sense of "everybody is going to eat" A true definition of community.

[LifeinLancashire]

What a great working together to obtain food to survive those extremely cold harsh winters. Here in the UK during the pandemic a lot of people were pathetic and fighting over toilet rolls etc!!

“The weather is so warm, feels like spring” 😆😆😆

This is how people should live, care not just about each other but nature and are very discipline in their attitudes, they seems to be very family oriented and ambitious too.
