  • Housing around the world can differ quite drastically. In Yakutia, the coldest inhabited region on Earth, the frigid temperatures - as low as -71°C (-95°F) during the winter months - force locals to take extra measures in order to preserve every bit of warmth within their homes. But how do they keep warm? And what is the life like? In this video, I will take you inside a Yakutian house. Built by the owner himself.
    How do you keep your homes warm and what is included in your daily routines? Be sure to let me know in the comments below. Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful day!

Even in other south asian countries the winters get quite harsh. Anything below 15 is bad for us since we are not used to winters in this zone. Currently, bangladesh and india are going through that weather. Just be happy you don't have to bear this absolutely depressing weather. No sunlight, absolutely depressing

      I was just about to comment that 5000km to the west we also have sauna (steam room) and vasta/vihta (the bracnh). The moss has been used as insulator in here since forever and there are still old cabins around that have moss between the logs. Some, rarely, use it still today when building something with traditional style, maybe in remote place, like fishing hut for example.

      The old fashioned lives worldwide were experts in survival, and now most of those techniques are lost. I'm 82 & I still remember my grandmother's old ways of doing things, even in London, a big city, the old folks kept their tiny vegetable gardens some with a few chickens too, made cottage cheese & preserved & canned foods for later. 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 !

      @@hxhdfjifzirstc894 it's easy to say that but most people dont have the means to drop their lives and everything they've known to take up a totally different lifestyle. hes been living in a city his whole life, he more than likely has not had the chance to cultivate the skills required to live a life like that. most people dont realize just how strenuous doing something simple like chopping firewood is if you haven't built the muscles for it. even living like this in warmer climates is hard. you cant just pop over to the store for stuff like you would in a city. I live a half hour from the nearest walmart and the closest city that barely clears the 5k population mark is 15 min away. I still have a lot of the convienances places like this do not have and I dont think I could drop my life and live ina village like that without major culture shock and hardship.
      what i am saying is it's probably for the best he didn't try to make the jump to an extreme rural life like that. I would suggest instead trying the outskirts of a small town at least 100 miles away from any major population hubs. far enough away to not have to deal with the city life day to day, but close enough to where you can make something of a day trip to the big city if you really need something there

      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.

    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.

    This is really nice to see the good side of Russia and its people. The man really takes care of his horses as the white horse was actually smiling and in a way it must be tough to live out there but at the same time peaceful and I'd love to visit. 🇬🇧👍

    Here in Denmark 🇩🇰
    I rent a small brick house, built in 1956, it's heated with resisters radiators, hot water is from the central heating plant in town. I'm retired from the Royal Danish Air Force, after serving 34 and a half years. I'm a truck driver by trade. Now I'm about to enter a new trade; security guard. My course starts next Monday, then after that, I hope to find a job, quickly.
    Thank you for sharing Kiun B.
    I would love to visit your wonderful village one day🤗🙏🤠

    Wonderful video, thanks a lot, I really enjoyed it! I live in a warm seatown in Italy, cold here is not a huge issue, interesting for me to see how people live in so different environmental conditions of mine. Thanks again!

    As tropical climate people, we enjoy many free privileges from mother nature. Thank god i can just open 🚿 and have a bath whenever i want. But we all take it for granted.

      on the other hand, you need a freezer. 😁
      but yeah, i agree. Warm temperatures makes things so much less complicated.

    This level of craftsmanship is impeccable. It's hard to believe that it was built by hand.
