How to preserve drinking water in Yakutian way
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2019
- Once I told my friend from Mexico how do we preserve drinking water and he was very surprised. So I thought that it could be interesting for people. I made a video with a traditional way of preserving drinking water which was widely spread in my area. Many people still preserve drinking water in this way. Buying water in the bottles is expensive and it’s not convenient. Water coming from the water pipes is not available in many villages of Yakutia. That’s why preserving water in traditional way is the most convenient.

very thankful Yakutia has a UA-cam documentarian
Right? I just started watching and was thinking how it's like watching a documentary series. So calming and interesting. 😊
I have no idea how this channel ended up in my suggestions, but you're amazing. What a beautiful and fascinating place you live in.
Thank you 😊
Same here!
@@rikokojima your amazing 🤩
This is a perfect demonstration of human wisdoms (to be precise,
Wisdoms of people in Yakutsk!) how to live in such extreme weather conditions with best harmony! Huge respect!!👍🏻
This reminds me of the opening scene of Frozen when they are harvesting ice in blocks just like those. Seems like it was a similar practice in northern Scandinavia
I should watch Frozen, so many people told me about this animated movie. 😅
@@LifeinYakutia You’re not missing anything...Cold never bothers Sakhas anyway😉
@@LifeinYakutia I will visit your place soon..
my thoughts exactly when I saw the blocks of ice!!
@@paisleyprincess7996 YES SHE IS! Do you know the despair and pain I had to endure whilst working at Costco as a student when the film came out and the store was peddling frozen c*ap by looping "LET IT GO" ENDLESSLY!
Let my freaking 🧠🤯🥴
-24 C... its not that cold outside... I am speechless. Really interesting video. Thank you.
It's always warm or hot where I live so temperatures that low are unimaginable to me too.
All is known by comparison! I'm from Tumen region, and for me -24 is ok, -40 pretty cold, -10 almost summer :D But quite seriously, the extremes don't happen as much anymore
@@msthing does it mean that climate is getting warmer in your place? We used to have winters of -20 and -10, now is barely -2 most of the times, even plus... Rarely any snow either. Feels like a different story in winter, very dark
@@featherlessbiped6586 My father who still lives in my home town tells me the cold spells don't happen like they used to anymore (good -50C for a couple of weeks in Jan usually). The warming is real!
@@msthing 20deg I feel cold
When its 20 degress celcius in Fiji we feel cold lol
Bula not from Fiji but from the Islands yass i would died here lol
Your underground ice house is used in some areas, in other more temperate areas, to store vegetables. Your people are very resourceful, and I enjoyed learning about them through your videos.
this channel is incredible! it's just so cool to know people live like this
*Life in Yakutia ❤*
You are a very sweet lady and so gracious!
I'm Indian...I love watching ur videos
I just found your channel and subscribed immediately :) It must be hard work to get all that ice, but it looks like very good quality water. The use of permafrost is really ingenious too!
I suppose if there were water pipes the water would just freeze solid during winter, so the traditional way makes the most sense
I love your postings. I have forwarded your posts on to farms near me. You are living our history.
Yeayy! Always wondering how life in yakutia looks like. Glad to find your channel🌸
I bet this water is so tasty. I’m so glad your channel came up in my suggestions!
Yes, this water truly tastes good😌
Ours is full of chemicals taste.
Simple and straight to the point I like it.
This is so interesting! Thank You Very Much for sharing this!!
Honestly - you have the kindest eyes I've ever seen : )
Amazing, never heard about Yakutia before, thanks for sharing about your country 🤗
Your channel is interesting and very informative. I learned a lot❤️
that sound of the snow underneath your feet is just music to me.
Start watching your video's. Your place was so amazing 😍 watching from Philippines .
Ooo I subscribed you videos are so interested. I am living in Jamaica and the temperature right now is 21°c Noway near you guys stunning -39°c
Just found your channel today and subscribed. I’m watching from Los Angeles, California, USA and have enjoyed 7 of your videos so far. Thank you for sharing your part of the world and culture with us.
I hope your channel continues to grow and hope you are well and safe.
Thank you ☺️
Very nice video, thank you Maria
It's like movie to me, and You're the director, actor.
Thank you excellent video
thank u, very interesting issue
I'm really enjoying your channel. I'm from the northest region of Brazil, near the Equator, and here the temperatures are at least 25ºC (near the coast, where I live). Here we expend too much electricity on cool stuff. It is very interesting to see how your people live in a extremely different climate, and I'm really loving seeing your videos and learning more about Yakutia and the culture.
They expend it on keeping warm.
So almost everything you use comes straight from the land and lakes? That is really interesting. The place is so clean and pure there that you probably have the best water and food available. Do your houses have plumbing or is it too cold in the winter that it would freeze water in the pipes? How do you keep the inside of the house warm?
Hey! Yes, most of what people use in the villages of Yakutia comes straight from the nature. We have plumbing at home, we have water inside, but it is also different from what people have in warmer countries 😅 we have gas heaters inside of the house, but it is only in that part of Yakutia where is gas. There are many villages with no gas, they heat their houses with woods. And also people, who live in villages with no gas, have two houses. One big for summer time and one small for winter time. They move from one to another depending on season, because in winter is more profitable to live in small house (bigger houses need more woods). I hope it was more or less clear explanation 😅
Really interesting
Excellent
Amazing video, I might visit next year in February
Thank you. I hope you will increase the volume in future posts..
So in Frozen 🥶 movie Kristoff was cutting ice for water supply
Thanks. In New Zealand, most houses are supplied by water from underground pipes, but we are advised to store at least seven days supply for each person living in the house. The reason is that New Zealand can have earthquakes, and in the event of a large one, it might take up to seven days before the local government can start supplying water again.
Thank you!
I would like to visit your area oneday inshallah. I am from Bangladesh its rainy and hot. My father grew in Russia
Thank you dudine
I love your videos
I really like your video love from INDIA
Very interesting , Maria 👍🏻🤗👏🏻👏🏻🤔 It's hard ,but beautiful life , I suppose 🤔😊👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Hi Maria, that’s very interesting I never thought people have to defrost ice for drinking water . Would you make a video how you wash your dishes and clothes or have a bath or shower without running water , please ?
Thanks for the wonderful video!
I would also like to know if there is a special Yakutian skincare routine.
Given the harsh conditions, do you put special type of lotion or cream?
wao! impressive,thank you for showing us.
Make daily vlogs you are so amazing lady and your surrounding is so beautiful - love form asia (India)
Amazing, the opposite of our place here in Florida. It seemed like you guys are meeting all the challenges in life. It's nice to see unspoiled people like you. Thank you.
Love the way she says its negative
You have unique lifestyle. I live in the tropic and 10-16 degree celsius is already bone chiling for me😂. The frostbite thing is scary.
I would love to see what it looks like inside the bulus. Could you make a video of what a bulus looks like inside?
Hi Maria can you do a video on Yakutia athletes and sports, does your region produce any Russian winter Olympic team members? Say like speed skating or nordic skiing?
amazing thank you for making this video.
I keep watchin ur blogs quite sometimes .. plz show us how j guys wash clothes and how u dry it and how u take bath
I really want to move there permanently. So peaceful and living the way nature want you to live.
you move when Yakutia gains independence.
@@Iya8779 omg… is there a fight going on already?
Thank you as always for a very interesting video. I'm curious: How do people in the villages dig the holes in the permafrost required to make underground storage spaces like the one you showed? Is a shovel sufficient? Or do people have to get out pickaxes and such to pick away at the permafrost?
Watching your videos.. 💚💚💚
Do you still boil the water for drinking.. or it’s fine to drink like that?
Hi Maria! When you boil water to cook pasta for example, do you use the drinking water?
exactly what it is Summer in Yakutia. Is it still in the negative ? what is the highest temperature you have experienced? What activities do you do in summers. Im sure you must have your special festivals or occasions, Do you celebrate all that during the warmer months ? does any produce grow there ? where do you get your vegetables and fruits from ? Can you show us your supermarket and what you get there ?
i know these are a lot of questions. I sometimes feel like living your life for a few months just to experience the complete opposite of my life is here in India. I was in Toronto for a few years and the coldest I had experienced was -42 and we were mostly bundled up at home with our heaters on and we still had hot water flowing from our taps. but your life makes me really appreciate the efforts you have to put just for drinking water. I am humbled. please do show more of your life. Thanks
Live in Toronto and only gets to -15 for only a few weeks. Never seen -40 in Toronto in my lifetime.
She mentioned in previous videos summers are hot
@@Julesscv check Feb 2013 temperatures. there was a back to back Ice storm and snow storm and for 3 days the temperatures were at minus 40. The same time Niagara falls region was hovering close to -48. i remember it too well becs I had to walk home from work in that weather.
Said it dropped to as low as -25, which was a very rare storm in history.
How deep does the bulus go to get to the permafrost? You mentioned on another video how hot it gets in summer there, I’m so surprised it can literally keep ice frozen!
I love you channel, somehow it ended up in my seggested videos! :) As Im reading about permafrost, it says its starting to melt due to climate change. Have you seen or heard of anything like that in your area? That would be super interesting to me. Thank you :)))
Mast@ from india
Hi, Maria! Thank you for these videos about your amazing people and place. I'm in Vermont in the USA and I've been obsessively watching videos about Yakutia all week. What a fascinating place and culture. I'm curious. WHY do you store up ice for the year? You mention all of the lakes; can't you just get access to the water all-year-round? Oh...but then you'd have to be trekking to the lake on a regular basis because you can't use pipes in permafrost? Plus, pipes would've been quite the expense .... is it just that it's easier to do all the work over a couple of weeks in November and then just have the water available in the bulu all year round...Almost, for your people a hundred years ago a luxury, having all that water available and close to hand. Wow...I think I answered my own question. Just easiest to do it that way, right?
Jason West, hello! Yes, you answered your own question 😅 We can’t use water pipes because our land is permafrost. If we dig the land, it will melt in summer. And the ground will become swamped. That’s why in Yakutsk (i mean, in the town, where many people live), pipes are above the ground. And they are covered by warm lawyers, so water in pipes won’t freeze during winter. But it’s all expensive and for now it’s not available for villagers, where most of the houses are private (i mean, houses are not big stone buildings like in the cities). So for us it’s easiest to store water this way. It’s one day work, also nowadays we can buy it from local entrepreneurs 😅 but my parents do it this way. Thank you for your interest in Yakutia!
@@LifeinYakutia It's impossible not to be interested in a place and a people like yours. So much of what you've been doing for hundreds and hundreds of years persists until today. I embrace you all from thousands of miles away.
You made a video about what you wear when it's fifty below zero. I'm curious. At what temperature to Yakutzians feel comfortable to go outside with no jacket...maybe just a t-shirt and jeans?
She explained in another video that the surface water during that time (Oct-Nov) is purest, and the ice is still thin enough and that makes it easier to cut it out of the lake
Those ice bars look like pieces of yummy cakes.
Literally i love your place and your content also. But please make you voice high a lil bit for us to hear what youre saying. Literally my phone is in highest volume. 😅
Interesting, I wonder how the water supply in the city works ? I would guess there might be all sorts of problems with pipes getting frozen or the water reservoir getting frozen.
When we have -15˚ in Denmark there’s warnings in the news about the temperature 😂
How many liters do you calculate for a daily need? For each person?
I presume that you use water from the lake for washing?
Nice to know about ur living conditions
Keep it up
This is so impressive that I am (as a Brazilian ) shocked! I'm wondering about your psychology health because some people say that the temperature is totally connect to our feelings. Do you think it's true?
Your videos are awesome but the volume is very low comparatively to other's. 💕 From Nepal🇳🇵🤩
Hi maria how about people who lives in the city in apartment buildings ,how do you preserve drinking water?
How one gets drinking water at ur place is really tiresome. Life is adventurous but hard for daily routines. Salute to Yakutiyas. Thanks for enlightening all of us about your life & traditions.

I am from India, Can you suggest any tourism packages during summer.
Wow. It's a great narrative.
i am now curious how they get the water they bathe with
Is there natural hot water sources in and around yakutia
Very interesting information. Do you boil or filter this water before drinking?
This water not need boil or filter, ice there is very clean, like spring water.
In another video Maria said that they boil this water before drinking. But they don't filter it.
I love to watch ur place i wish to visit
But is it safe to drink basically lake water? do the extremely cold temperatures "clean" the water or something?
How do you purify it for drinking?
Are you guys used to the reflection of the sun hitting the snow? I would go snow blind right away seeing all white all the time
What is the temperature inside bulus during summer?
Do you purify the water before you drink it ?
I know drinking water where certain animals live or habitat can be very dangerous..
Do you boil the water before cooking or drinking it? Isn’t it dirty?
try to raise the volume of your videos or else speak a little bit louder so that it will be audible for us.... otherwise you are doing a great job. best wishes for you..............
Do you boil the water from the barrel before drinking it ?
do u have icehockey? or skiing in yakutia? or any Wintersports? also Saunas? its sooooo cold there? also food: grill ? barbeque? not raw meat? its amazing Yakutia... but sooo ocold and you speak English very good ! my compliments!
She is an English teacher, of course her English will be good...
Yes all of this things exists here lol
Sorry, this might be a stupid question. But how often do people take a bath in Yakutsk?
Do you have to boil this water before you use it?
That great how to defense ur live
Cold like that wish to have curry and make spicy
Hi Maria. So you don’t filter the water before you drink it?
I was thinking about that as well. Where I live, drinking unfiltered water from a lake is a sure way to get sick
@@kagaminek She mentioned in her newer video about preparing ice as drinking water that the river basically filters itself. When it starts to freeze and slow down, all the sediments drop down, so the water at the top, the ice they use, is actually really pure. She also said the quality gets checked to make sure it's safe to drink and that they also boil it before use :)
@@peaceblossom8 I've watched that video too, but thanks anyway. :)
How to bath if no pumping water? Do you all bath daily ?
Whats the lowest temperature in Summers
How is it -25C but you don’t have water vapor coming out of your mouth when you’re speaking?
Bulus would be like Root cellars here
How you heat your Homes?
Just did the math on how thick you said dudine, 14 - 16 inches is a solid freeze in the Dakotas, we barely get 8 - 12 inches thick 20 - 31 cm) thickness of our area, Montana is barely closer but not that cold
😍🥰🤗
People in Yakutsk probably the strongest one..
It looks like lime jello on a massive scale.
In Florida, people freak out when its 45 degrees fahrenheit.
