- We all have our daily habits and routines. In the morning we get up, take a shower, wash our teeth, and have breakfast. But the daily routine in the coldest place on Earth is something different...

i my country we shower/bath everyday, once sometimes twice a day. 😂😂😂

I do the same in Alberta, Canada

Makes me appreciate being able to jump into the shower at any time.
Exactly
I can't imagine showering only once a week. 🙀

Imagine being an ancestor and, casually walking through a -70°C, thinking "THIS, this will be our new home!"
More like knowing about the -70 temp places and thinking 'no, please mr. Stalin don't send me to the gulag'
Yea super big brain 🧠

After watching his struggle I feel very thankful that I am born in the state of India where I can enjoy all the seasons and there is no extreme weather like winters are above 10c summers are under 45 and rain is not heavy and can follow daily routine...hope their future gen get strength to bear this extreme weather.
Agreed. Where are you from in India? Gujrat or Jalgaon Maharashtra?
Agreed.. I'm from kerala..
same im from bangalore with the best weather ever. I'm grateful.
I envy you guys. You can shit whenever, wherever you want. A luxurious privilege.
Why do you guys have to keep propagandizing about your India? Dont you know people are tired of your country?
It's -35C now in Calgary. Despite dressing well, it's tough being out for more than 20mins.
Taking a shower at -71C & walking back bare bodied is GOD level.
Was just thinking the same! I used to live in Kananaskis, and -43C was quite the experience for a Nova Scotia girl. I was like "is he running back to the house in his shorts?!"
Right!!?? 😂
I live in Montreal, suddenly feels that I have no reasons to complain about the coldness here.
@@sarage3236 Oh no.... complain away, my friend!!! It gets COLD in Quebec!
Heat transfers takes time
Amazing to see how people manage to live daily life in such super cold climate.

Never been to Minnesota I take it lol , gets down. To -40 here with wind chill

Why is everyone in the comments talking about Minnesota the video is about Siberia which is in Russia
Makes me feel like am spoiling myself too much for having concerts in the shower, rearranging old arguments I didn't win, dancing, crying, fighting my curtains for touching me, thinking about my future, creating fake scenarios aargh! Just too much. Hands down to the people living there. You guys are heroes for living that life everyday ❤👏
😂😂😂 literally me
Lol your showers sound so entertaining
YES me too!!
well u should probably use less water.
I relate to this comment wayyy too much 😩
In America, I don't think anyone can even imagine that life. These people are extremely strong! I have so much respect for these beautiful people. 😳💜
I totally 💯! Amazing people indeed.
Sameee
Does Alaska not count ??
I am from India 🇮🇳 and now it's winters here (5-15° temperature), I was on my bed under my blanket. Suddenly this video popped up and now I am shivering just by watching this video...
Thanks for the video 👍

I recently learned how much I appreciate showers after my whole town did not have water for three days. It's tough and makes you really think about water being a luxury we don't even think about having. Being able to turn the faucet and shower anytime is really a blessing.
For a summer we had to use my Dad's pond as a bath ya do what ya gotta do.
Things we just don't think about
This summer we didn't have water for 15 days because it didn't rain enough
Back where I’m from if you don’t take a shower or wash your va____ no one will talk to you cause your stink dirty while that’s a lot of soap and water to wash your money maker and ass with 😄🤬
I learned a while ago to keep about 5 gal of water in storage. Even if I can manage a day or two without water, my pets cannot.
The value of one shower 🚿🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hours of hardwork for a 20 mins bath is insane. They should show these kind of videos in schools so that folks like me start respecting time, water and a shower 🙏🏻
Yes
Honestly it feels better doing small things after a hard days work and doing it a more primitive way. Food, warmth, cleaning, etc.
We were made for this, not easy stuff.
Trust me, there was time for a beer in the middle there
That wasn't hours of hard work to take a shower. That was ten minutes of cutting wood then lighting a fire. And then dilling up a jar of snow. Like 20 minutes and a whole lot of waiting for the fire to heat up the room.
@@roscosanchez4649 May be it's how you see.
For someone who is lazy and not hard working like me it is like what I said. May be you are a hardworking person 🙏🏻
Respect
In Brazil we take a shower twice a day... i can't imagine live like this. You guys are strong!
Its quite suprising how the weather is really important, even due to the extreme cold in Yakut, people still go on with their lives normally, it truly is beautiful.
ua-cam.com/video/q_Qv46_FqRo/v-deo.html
It's because they have no choice. Adapt or die. They adapted.
It is nothing beautiful about living in such cold place
Not normaly but with nature

I will never be ungrateful for a hot shower ever again, wow this is simply eye-opening!

Amen
We had to take cold showers when I was in boot camp that first hot one after 12 weeks was like an orgasm
@irlan hakim What relevance does this have to this video might i add?
Yes you will
😮 I could not imagine living like that it makes me so grateful for what I have and being able to jump in the hot shower. Man you guys are strong and tough. God bless you guys 💘
@ytsux9259 I would have kept water in my house like I would have kept it in a recycle bin bc it's big and deep, my mom use to do that when she couldn't pay her water bill.

Just casual village in Russia . Most of small villages all over this country don’t have canalisation /water pipes or even gas! here. So lame.
Thank you for sharing with the world what most of us never would have ever considered learning about!

Shows me how much I take for granted with the little life necessities we receive so easily. It Definitely helps me to appreciate what I have.
Seriously!.. Was thinking the same thing.
The comment I was searching for.
Those people are used to that environment, not like how you think! The reason they don't move or migrate is becoz they don't feel comfortable adjusting to our warmer environment, just like the same way you feel having to adjust to their environment. So, maybe, perhaps.., the little life necessities you have, ain't what they prefer?!?
MashaAllah
no kidding
Living in a tropical country, I can't imagine how cold it must be over there! I already feel very cold at 16°C.
Same but 20°C is already cold for me
@@enyindriyanti 20°C is almost too hot for me lol. It's 1°C here atm and i sleep with my window open xD
I live relatively north and 0 C isn't too cold for me, but I still can't imagine what -50 C is like
Facts! My nuts are frozen at 18c
Same here, I will take 3-4 showers a day when it's very hot like 34°C. We have only 2 seasons, dry and rainy
Полагаю дело не в том чтобы трубы не выдержат холодов, а в том что затратно проводить их в отдаленную деревню_. Я жила на севере Западной Сибири. Там точно температура достигала -60 градусов, а может и ниже. Трубы водопровода выдерживали. Трубы заворачивают в специальный изоляционный материал чтобы не лопнули от холода. Канал очень милый. Удачи!
Я из Нового Уренгоя, тут самая низкая температура на моей памяти была -57, ничего, трубы держат. Обычный город. Воркута, Норильск - то же самое. Так что да, властям просто нерентабельно коммуникации тянуть для маленьких населённых пунктов. 😢
Hello from Alabama, in the USA 🇺🇸 you are all self-sufficient, caring, loving, and appreciative. Watching this is so refreshing. Thank you for sharing.

Such a lame and predictable comment
@@Carltonwanks bro what’d they do to u
@@Carltonwanks i agree with. Very npc comment
@@jondickinson6830 Yes, boring comments should be banned, and check out the simp "defending her honor" lol
You are only "thankful" for it because you are used to it.
Some people will be "thankful" that they can go out, hunt and kill their own food, make clothing from it and produce no waste.
Meanwhile, we travel to the shops, pay money for goods, travel home, then produce waste packaging, followed by food waste. The transportation of thr food to the shop will have produced waste, and the animals corpse will also have been thrown away once a small amount of it has been used.
Sometimes there is a bigger picture, this is normal for these people and they probably wonder why we waste energy and resources having hot showers every day.
If you're ever looking for video ideas, I would love to see you cover a bit of why people move to Yakutia, and why people leave. I'm also curious what life is like for children growing up there, what does a day in their life look like? Do they also help to maintain the home, do they get to spend much time outside with friends? I would like to understand the culture more😅
I'm glad I found your channel, I never knew such a fascinating and beautiful place existed
I'm also very curious about this! I'm sure there will be a video about this some day.
Most of the people are born there, so they don't have a choice.
I also want to know how children goes to school and spending their time there. What they will do to drink water in schools
Very interesting idea indeed ❤

Thank you for the informative video. I always prioritize diversifying my investments and never invest my entire savings in one specific type or area.
I believe it's important to set achievable goals and have a strategy that includes limiting potential losses on a weekly basis. This approach is both logical and can provide passive yet rewarding returns.
Every investor dreams of finding a strategy with near-perfect success rates, even if not guaranteed at 100%.
In terms of the crypto space, I personally took two months to learn the importance of operating in the right manner, and it was through adapting that I was able to save myself from potential losses. I am grateful for the expertise of John Joseph in this area.
What makes John Joseph stand out from other account managers is his ability to adapt to changing situations. His managerial skills are unmatched, and his weekly signals have proven to be profitable. Many others are working with him as well, which is a pleasant surprise.
Wow, that is amazing to hear! I'm glad that John's trading strategy and services have been so effective for you. Doubling your monthly salary in just seven working days is truly impressive.
He just ran outside in shorts and a t-shirt in -71 degree weather right after a 100-degree shower. That's insane, mad respect!
Edit: Everyone in the replies taking this comment from almost a year ago seriously lmao
It isn't unpleasant at all! It's an amazing feeling, because your body doesn't cool down that quickly and you stay warm even tho it's super cold outside.
I love that he goes home after that and straight to bed where he sleeps like a baby.
thats something everyone can do. Your body is very warmed up.
That's not possible it gets -60 in ND and you aren't running anywhere in shorts I promise
-71C is the cold record of the village, that happened in the 1920s. It's not that cold constantly. Probably -20 to -40 in this clip.
I am from Barbados (a very small island) in the Caribbean. The weather here is hot and we are not used to cold weather. I normally shower twice a day, morning & night. I do not think that I could handle your weather.
I came across your UA-cam page by accident & am thoroughly enjoying it. Your culture is beautiful.
I'm from Barbados too
Yes these videos are great I live in Scotland the cost of living crisis is bad here and the rest of Great Britain but can still have a bath/shower every day I admire all those people living in such a cold climate
I'm from Trinidad. It's amazing what their bath culture is like, especially considering our own here as you pointed out. Though I understand why they are limited to one day per week, I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around doing the same. Lol If inside the main house is warm enough to sleep, eat and other activities, then trust and believe I'm going to find a way to have a complete bath. Still, very interesting to see how resilient they are in such weather.
2 showers a day? What a spoiled girl you are.
And I'm from Suriname 🇸🇷, also from the Caribbean 😊
Баня зимой хороша тем, что после парилки можно выйти на улицу и обтираться снегом.
Контраст между высокой температурой в бане и холодным снегом создаёт ощущение лёгкости в теле. Кажется, что оттолкнись и полетишь в звёздную высь.
Очень приятно и спокойно на душе от такой процедуры.
Thank you for sharing. It’s truly amazing and so educational being able to see how you and your family live life daily. This also teaches all of us to be more grateful and thankful for each of our surroundings.
I must be honest, I’d love to try living in a place like this for a month. I think it’d give me a whole new perspective on things
I THINK A MONTH IS NOT ENOUGH FOR OUR BODY ACCEPT THE CHANGE..SORRY FOR THE CAPLOCKS,...LOL
new perspective and frostbite

So, weather that _kills_ human life is only because they had the wrong "attitude"? Ok.
@@malcolmdrake6137 bad weather is subjective. Humans either adapt or die. That’s not “bad” that’s natural, that is life. I mean you think people 100 years ago went, it’s cold guess I’ll just die! They worked for warmth. Attitude is everything
Things we take for granted, are rare luxuries for another person. Deep respect for the people who live in such challenging weather conditions!
May God bless you all and your loved ones and have a blessed day, night and life!✝️❤️
Yeah, like efficiently designed housing and saunas, the amount of wood he burned for his tiny bathhouse could've fuelled two sauna nights in a 4 person finnish sauna. The left over heat could've been used to heat the main house as well. The video tries to frame this as a hardy people doing whatever it takes to survive, but it comes across as wasteful, both in time spent and the resources used.
@@Vanamutt agreed. Also, did someone tie him down and he is forced to live there? Is he a prisoner and can’t leave without permission? Seems to me he’s forcing this situation. The snow and ice are just there naturally, he’s not 😂
Shut up! He is living in a house waring cloths, and probably has a job. He is choosing to live like this.

You guys are unbelivable...hats off to you. I am so thankfull to God that i have born in Assam (India). Here i can enjoy all the seasons. Winter, summer(not more than 41'c) rainy days...etc.

definitely puts you in perspective...
I've spent many years living in a car and not having a proper shower, especially during the pandemic.
But, even when I bathe in storage with a coffee pot of hot water mixed with a bucket of cold water, it was less work and cleaner than what this guy spent an entire day working on. :D That's insane!
I've been indoors now for 2 weeks and I'm not lying when I say I get giddy every time I get in the shower. :D
You can keep your fancy cars and jewels, I'll take running water any day over it.
Great video!!
It must have been so hard for you! I am glad to hear you're in better conditions now!
I spent most of the pandemic in a constant state of depression and started to neglect my hygiene I seriously forgot how soothing a shower was and how good it felt coming out feeling fresh and clean. Im doing a lot better now and I'm glad you are doing a lot better now as well. But im curious, the place you rented the storage unit from, were they okay with you using the unit as a living space and just looked the other way? Or did you have to be very careful and sneaky about you comings and goings?
Could you tell us more about your story? You got me really curious.
Why would one (a healthy sober person, I assume) have to remain without a house and go live in a car? Are there no charities (red cross, e.g.) that can help in such situations? E.g. I live in Italy Now and the state does have public dorms kind of thing , where homeless people can come to and get help over a 2-year program
@@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn Hi, I'm currently going through the same predicament. Any tips on overcoming depression?
@@Elman374 I actually disagree with the comment bevor. Changing your life might help, but a depression foremost is a brain thing and it is okay if you can't get out on your own. If possible for you, I would definitely recommend getting (professional) help!

Here in Delhi (India) we have polar opposite problems in summers, when temp is between 40-49°c plus humidity, so it's actually healthy to bathe twice a day to cool down body temperature because when you sweat in 40°c humidity it doesn't evaporate and then your body temp start to rise above normal.
thats good so why dont you do it
My friend from Nigeria tells me the same thing, that in the North they only bathe at most, twice a year, and only during the hottest months as a way to cool off, as bathing is an expensive waste of drinking water
Here in the UK, I don't live in the coast so there's no humidity which means no sweat so it's like in an oven here being roasted, I could really use some sweat right now
@@deakksyy No humidity doesn't mean you don't sweat, wtf are you talking about. It means your sweat evaporates more easily, which makes your body cooler. In humid conditions where surrounding air cannot hold further water vapour, sweat evaporates slowly, if at all. As a result the body heats up. You know it's not the sweat itself that cools you, it's the sweat evaporating. If it were more humid where you live, you would feel even hotter. So be glad there's no humidity.
@@deakksyy sounds like maybe you need to drink some water
I love this video because it reminds me that EVERYONE can do this, it is just a matter of will and getting used to it. Yes us in United States have showers, but we often forget how strong we really are. If we had no other option, eventually we would adjust! ❤️
Easier said than dun @redpandafilms7734
very true.
As an American I feel guilty that there are so many people living in inhospitable places and have severe hardship.
These people are made of steel!💪♥️
I love seeing and learning about other countries and cultures. I’m in northern Ontario, Canada and the pipes will freeze time to time (pain in the ass!) but only if it gets past -25 in the winter… I def take for granted having a shower in my home, ready whenever I am. From what I’ve seen, Siberian people are resilient, hard working, determined people!
From where I live in the southern Caribbean, Northern Ont., is seems very much like where the video shows. TOO COLD !!!
I live in Amarillo Texas. USA and my water pipes still freezes every now, and then. Sad but true.
True Sarah
I use to love geography as a kid in school. I was an only child so I didn't have in home play mates. So I entertained myself with reading about far away places. Watching these video reminds me of being back in the 1960's reading my geography books.
In the coldest months you should leave the water on just a tiny bit, that the pipe has at least some flow and wont freeze that easily
Wow! Getting to have a nice warm bath/shower is even a chore over there in the villages of Yakutia. That is quite a bit of work for bathing yourselves, especially having to chop wood outside in the frigid 🥶 conditions, but people have to make do and adjust to one's environment. We here in the states - I'm in San Diego, California, are definitely taking things like this for granted. Living in a big city we don't have to go outside to use the restroom or do anything rigorous to have a nice warm bath/shower but just turn the knobs in the shower stall or tub. We are lucky. I'm appreciative of what we've got here, that's for sure. My mom and sister have gone back to visit our homeland in Laos, where I've yet to go myself, and have experienced something different over there as well. They were staying up in the mountains during the hot and humid season and there were no air-conditioners nor running water. There was a hotspring for them to bathe in comfortably though. 👍They tell me the local foods were awesomely delicious over there too. I'll one day eventually visit where I was born in Vientiane, Laos. It is awesome that we can enjoy your experiences with you from the other side of the world through UA-cam. I greatly appreciate your informative videos and I look forward for more. I'm hooked. 😁 Can you show us more of your cuisine? Please keep them coming.Thanks a bunch again!
My grandparents in Thailand live near the Mekong river and I never miss a chance to visit Vientiane whenever I'm up there! Laos is such a beautiful country with amazingggg food. I hope you get to experience it soon!
@@lavendericedtea That's cool. So you're Thai? Was just curious since you've said that your grandparents live in Thailand. I also want to eat a lot of the freshly picked fruits in Laos. I've seen all different types that I'd like to try. But definitely no durians cause they make me want to puke 🤢 and faint. No bueno. I might be allergic to durians. I don't know. I will make it back to where I was born. The thing is though.....I dread flying. From San Diego, California to Jacksonville, North Carolina the flight is like 7 hours and flying to Laos, as I'm sure you'd know, is pretty much a whole day. Yakutia looks pretty awesome, the people are seemingly very friendly over there from what I've seen in the videos, and I'd love to visit there one day. I don't know about during winter though cause I'm used to the warm weather over here in San Diego. 50 degrees fahrenheit is cold for me already. Other than going to Mexico, which is only about 20 minutes from where I live, I haven't traveled much outside of the states.

@@kisdasenglothnam Yep! I'm only half Thai, but I do speak some Lao. Give durian another shot, especially durian desserts like cake :) Flying sucks, but it's so worth the long flights and airport hassle to get to where you want to go. If you decide to visit Yakutia, you should go when it's bordering winter just for the experience. Out of those states, I've only been to New York. In Australia, it doesn't snow in major cities (plus it's hot as hell) so seeing NYC during winter was like heaven on Earth.
They might as well save showers for special occasions like weddings. 🤪

Respect.
In upstate NY Pipes would often freeze, and the snow was warmer. Used the snow to defrost my washer that had frozen over, to prevent bursting with extreme heat exposure from boiled snow water. Also used snow for dog water, and shower water when I didn't have running water. I lived in the arctic zone of the US. We would also use it after boiling it for cooking on the stove. I love this series, and it reminds me of home. -40 on a regular basis. Pond hockey, ice fisihing, hunting, all of it. Well done, Kiun.

That one day of the week where they do the steam bath is probably the most satisfying shower ever. All of that work put in would make those 30 minutes of steam time feel like heaven
Sure, but the process of needing to do that every week probably feels like hell 😂

My Respect to you brother. One's basic amenity or necessity is another person's struggle.
I'm from Finland and many people here have a summer house. (despite the name, many also visit them in winter). Going for a wash there is pretty much the same as in the video, for example there is no running water and the washroom and sauna are usually in a different building. The weather is of course not as cold and the cabin is used for vacations. However, I can relate running back to the cabin through the snow and sleeping well after xd All respect to people who live in these conditions.
Im from Finland too and as a kid I remember when we went to sauna in the winter and then ran naked outside around (yes we had neighbours :D ) the house in -25 degree, rolled and ''swam'' in the snow and ran back to the sauna. It was the best thing in winter!
I know a Finish guy, you people are tuff AF. We're currently having the coldest December day in decades in my town in the UK (30°F / -2°C at 01:04 as I write this) and the Mrs and I are complaining like a pussies and avoiding going outside, it rained the other night and my car is now covered in ice. It might be something to do with our brown eyes ancestry, but we are much happier when it's 80-90F outside. Thankfully no snow here on the coast since 2010 so I guess we should count our blessings.
@@IanDarley It's all a matter of conditioning. I sometimes wear shorts and t-shirt around 5 celsius while outside. Not because I have finnish TOUGH genes, but because I've intentionally tried to get used to colder temps while wearing less clothing. You can improve your cold resistance by taking cold showers.
Proper clothing is also important in cold. Cold resistance decides whether you FEEL miserable, and the clothing selection whether your body continues to function when exposed to cold for extended periods of time
@@IanDarley it's what you're used to. -2 is indeed nothing 😂
@@IanDarley i am from scotland but have lived in arctic norway for years and I would rather be in -25c over here than in 0 in scotland its weird but when it gets real cold there is no moisture in the air so it doesnt feel as bad as you expect which is exactly how you can end up with frostbite lol
WOW this is really amazing!!! Myself coming from South Africa, I feel like I will literally freeze to death - I've never even seen snow in real life or even felt it. The coldest weather I have experienced in Johannesburg is 3 degrees celsius. I appreciate that I can take a shower anytime, how ever many times I wish - and I also respect and adore the way of living in Yakut.
Lebo, I've experienced -4C in Roodepoort, and also snow in JHB in September 1980 - the last time we had any significant snow. Over 40 years ago now. Also grateful for my hot shower every morning!
And I was thinking how cold I get when we hit -25C. But I'm in Canada.
The coldest i experienced was - 20 when i was a kid, i remember i couldn't feel my hands for some hours 😬
i’ve experienced-20c, but still can’t imagine how cold it must be
Yes those Africans in the Ukraine could stand cold weather 😏
This teaches me to find a middle ground in life. It means, live as your situation demands. There is nothing to be thankful of or pity upon, because that's comparing lives. Life cannot be compared & then saying thank God for what we have.
Rather, life is about adjusting to the situation provided to one to get through it somehow, & mostly with all positive attitude, patience, & most important, TOLERANCE. Find a way through life by developing these 3 attitudes which will slowly turn into virtues.
Thanks for showing us a glimpse of your life.
Thanks for sharing
Can't imagine myself showering only once a week. Coming from the far eastern tropics, the Philippines where it is highly humid, I shower twice a day, sometimes even thrice on a hot day. It's because you can easily smell awful on a hot day if you start sweating. It's a sad reality that we take for granted the importance of something when they are in abundance. This video is an eye opener for me. I realize how privileged I am to have access to water at my convenience, and without having to cut logs into pieces and warm the bathroom for hours just to shower.
Asian people don't smell like shit when they sweat so they do it rarely
Your metabolism is slower in low temperature so you don’t sweat as much as a normal person would in normal heat. And trust me, if you had to do this routine once a day... it would be a full time job.
True ...i love my baths too!
Holy fuck, you shower three times per day? Do you do anything else?
My brother 5 times 5 minutes a day.
Thank you for your videos. Truly, it means so much during these times when we aren't able to experience life with other people as we used to. It brings me so much joy to learn about your culture and way of life, it's so much different than my own. I hope someday I can visit Siberia!

@irlan hakim I kindly suggest you read the Bible in its entirety. Christianity was around before Islam and the message is entirely different. More than going to heaven, the Lord is interested in a transformed life and we can only be made righteous by the Lord Himself through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

wow...how you cope with the freezing cold amazingly impressive.
Wow❤️... and here in the Caribbean where I live we have to take showers at least 3 times daily because of the hot days and humidity regardless if having air conditioning. I love to see other cultures, their way of living through the seasons of the year, gastronomy, music, folklore, clothes, everything. Thank you for let us see this private part of our human lives❤️🙏🌍
Each climate has its on dealings but from all I see in Yakutsk , I’d say you have the most and work the hardest for things most others get with ease. It’s very inspiring and shows great tenacity!
But why can't they just move? Why make their lives so difficult? Doesn't make sense to me to live this way in the modern era.

I wonder the same thing too. I completely understand the appeal of the rest of their lives. However the extreme cold seems like a significant downside and so many ways. Although I also feel the same about the tropics where it can get much too hot for people to be outside in the for more than a few minutes. Genuinely think there are parts of the world we aren’t exactly meant to inhabit. It’s still interesting to watch though.
I appreciate you sharing insights of your life. Makes me appreciate mine
In the Philippines where it feels like summer every day, we take a shower once or twice any time of the day!

I think it important to note that they might "shower" in bath house once per week but they still can clean themselves with cold water daily.
I was thinking the same. A wash cloth and cold water does the job day to day.

The dry squeak of snow under foot, the sound of splitting wood when it's that cold, almost sounds like it's shattering. Those are some sounds I'm very familiar with. That's extreme cold right there.

Dig the video. I have met people in similar situations when it comes to bathing. Once I understand that many parts of the world actually have to bathe like this, I realized how fortunate I am to have " hot " water, let alone " running water ". That as well as a microwave, a dish washer, a clothes washer / dryer. A air conditioning as well as heater. And even solid walls and a solid roof to live in. One that's not going to flood, or collapse due to wind or rain. These are only a FEW things to be grateful for, and I'm thankful that I've met my friends in other countries which ARE NOT so fortunate. They introduced me to how to live WITHOUT what I considered everyday items. They call them " luxurious " . God bless all who dont have them.
What? You think this guy is somehow impoverished compared to you? He's living on wild animal meat, while you're eating donuts. His task for the day was taking a shower, yours was answering emails for your make believe job. You/we are living in pods in the matrix, while he's living wild and free.

1. We don't have the wherewithal to escape,

I live at 4,000' on the U.S./CA border, very remote in the mountains with no towns nearby. I've had only an outdoor shower for the past three years. In the winter it takes me about 45 minutes to roll out/connect up four hoses and a propane water heater. I take a 10 minute shower in usually 0-20 degrees Fahrenheit. After my shower it takes another 45 minutes to drain and break down the system and get it all stored inside. For about eight weeks in the core of winter (December, January), it is too cold for an outside shower as the water will freeze faster than it can flow in the hoses. Then I heat water on the stove and take a sponge bath and wash my hair over a bucket.
Sounds like an interesting setting. What do you like the most about living in a remote location like that?
It makes me question why don't they heat up water and put it in a bucket, it seems easier
@@oriole8789 Wow, that is a big question that has many answers. I like the stillness when it feels like every living thing somehow agreed to be still for a moment in time. I like seeing so many stars that I don't even need a flashlight on a moonless night. I like the smells of clouds that get snagged in the trees and linger on the moss. I like the music of the wind, when it whispers and when it roars. I like the shadows of the snowflakes that are lit by the campfire and the brief life of a spark that lands on the ground. So many things, really! : )
@@Graybeard_ Haha that's a nice answer. :) I've spent a lot of my childhood in remote settings even though I've generally lived in large cities, so I've always been attracted to middle-of-nowhere places whether in nature or not, for pretty much the reasons you've mentioned. What's funny to me is that the sky almost loses all meaning when you're in a city. As I walk, I sometimes look at the sky and imagine the city just disappearing.. and how quickly your focus would shift from the city to the sky. Suddenly little weather patterns would matter a lot more. You'd be much more aware of the wind and the air around you. How nice the clouds really are. Living in cities really distorts people's perception of the world, and we become obsessed with problems that are immediately in front of us and stop paying attention to the fact that we're on a random planet in space. Cities give the ultimate tunnel vision, but being in remote natural settings is the opposite of that. You notice so much more about this world. Maybe I'll get a chance to do what you're doing sometime. I'd really enjoy it, including the hard work of sustaining yourself in that setting. Hope you have a good day, thanks for the reply! -Nick from Canada

When I taught in Western Alaska in a native village, the villagers would bathe as you do. Being a teacher, we had insulated pipes that came into our homes for running water, so teachers had regular showers. It was a special treat to be invited to a family's home to "steam".
