I think that feature is ONLY designed for vehicles that operates at those temperature. It's probably programmed into the vehicle for vehicle that operates in places like Siberia etc etc..
Yeah, in northern Canada most people plug-in the car's block heater to an electrical outlet to keep the engine block's oil from freezing up. But myself being too lazy, I rely on my timed Remote Engine Starter, that never let me down in twenty years as I keep the car's battery in top shape.
@@ananasbanana 4:22 Unless that's mistranslated, it looks like she's saying it automatically turns on when the internal temperature of the vehicle goes below -5C
I have a Prius and I can just leave it turned on when it’s really cold. It starts and stops the engine as needed and will maintain a minimum cabin temperature. Worked great at minus 38c.
I lived 22 years in Northern Sweden and all we use for winter is a engine block heater connected with a cord as @Road and Destination mentioned in comments below, besides changing to winter tires with spikes on. And some cars have diesel and petrol engine heaters that can be set on a timer or used with an app to turn it on this is really only an option on newer cars though. Winters are also around 6 months here, and during the darkest months of the year I think we get barely one hour of daylight and during summer it's the complete opposite. The sun never sets and we have daylight 24/7. -20c to -30c is very common, the coldest I got to experience was -40 to -42c but this is very unusual. Greetings from Sweden! I can definitely relate to the things you say and do on this channel and why you think Yakutia is beautiful.
In northern Canada , Manitoba we do the same. All parking spots have power outlets and I would ALWAYS plug in the vehicle. If not, it won't start at all. Blockheaters is a must.
@@useryggfdcc Also in Finland atleast in Northern part every car has electric outlet to heat up the engine. Some people have webasto, which is heater that burns fuel to warmup the engine and the cabine.
@@fischer-3934 I have not seen any systems like that on personal vehicles here but, semi trucks have a system called pro heat that heats the cabin and engine coolant while the main engine is off. I have seen diesel trucks with circulating heaters instead of regular block heaters.
@@boomzoomovich Block heater is attached to bottom of the engine where is the oil of the engine. So that is solved. In Finland there isn't so cold that we have to heat up the gearbox also. Atleast I have not heard about it ever. But in Yakutsk it is probably so cold that the gearbox is frozen stiff if you do not keep it warm.
When I lived in northern Minnesota in the US some cars can be equipped with engine block heaters. You plug your block heater into a standard outlet and it will keep the engine warm enough to allow it to start. We would often do this when temps were 0 to -30c
@@tristanwegner Yes. It doesn’t take a lot of juice. It keeps the oil warm which makes it easier on the starter. The blanket thing is way too much work. Get out of a warm car and spend 10 minutes freezing your ass off putting the blanket on.
Growing up in Australia, we had reflective windscreen covers on the car when it was parked outside. They stopped the interior of the car heating up so much. Without the cover, sometimes you can't touch the steering wheel or you will burn your hands!
We don't use such things where I live but it gets really hot during summer so we try to keep some window open. it reduces heat somewhat . Still it is extremely hot when we sit in car. I am surprised how they endure such cold weather. I think temperature has never drops below where I live even in winter. For us even temperature below 20 like 19°c is cold. 😅 Edit: thanks a lot for likes everyone.
"Portable Garage"--I love it, especially the temperature based starter! Yakutians are geniuses. We rarely ever reached -50, but cold enough that we used different anti-freeze (thicker) and oil (thinner) for winter, and had heaters for battery and engine block that you plug into your home electricity or a spare car battery if you're away from home. Some people had oilpan heaters as well.
@@pluutoop we keep the blankets all winter when we drive and when we park. Only if you drive at a high speed it is better to open the fan isolation a bit to bring enough air to the engine as it can sometimes overheat.
I lived in Texas one summer and the car got so hot in the sun the rear view mirror glue failed and it fell off. The seat belt buckles were like branding irons and could quickly burn your skin. Using a cardboard sunshade for the windshield helps but I don't miss that.
They remember the Exact day when it was warm . 13th of February for this lady !! That gives a good perspective of how precious "Warmth" is to Yakutian people.
I'm from Edmonton, Canada, where winter temperatures can get down to -40. We just use a plug-in block heater that keeps the engine warm. That works great for us.
That requires a power cord, somewhere relatively close to a receptacle. Parking on the street or near apartment buildings that's not really an option. And those only keep the engine warm, while this process keeps the whole car warm not just the engine.
@@larry4674 Yep, but it does not work great for them ;-) It's like commenting on a house in Sudan, which has no access to electricity and thus has to use other - available resources to cool off, and saying that you use A/C unit in your place, and it works;-)
Your editing has gotten so much better in just the last year it's wild. Congratulations on crossing 50k subs. Here in Denmark we just have to remember to put on winter-wheels if it's a really cold winter but nothing like Yakutia
@@preussianblau5595 I actually experienced a mid-continent winter for the first time this winter. -15 for a few weeks straight in southern Poland. Jeeez I froze my fucking dick off. That said, the lack of rain and constant wind actually made it easier to do activities outside. Like, yeah it was cold but the cold wasn't "attacking" as it does up on our archipelago. Also the days were a lot longer. Up here winter days get down to like 4 hours of sunshine, down in Poland the shortest day was like 6,5-7.
I'm Finnish and I've never been so cold in my life as I were in Denmark, it's so damn humid that even the +1°C felt horrible compared to the -10 to -15 we get regularly here in Finland
I live in Southern Finland, and since I don't have garage myself I have to use (electric) engine pre-heater and a separate heater for the cabin. Usually 2 hours of heating is enough but when it gets below -20C It might require more time. Heaters take their power from external connection so if I'm on the road I might have some startup difficulties if the car battery is too old. I usually don't need to wind protect the engine compartment. Winter tires are a must have.
I live in Pittsburgh in the US. In winter it might get down to -15F but only a few days, if at all. We just leave our cars outside, uncovered. On very cold days the cars can be hard to start, so we need good batteries. I enjoy watching how you live there. Some of the things you do are very different, but I think we are all the same inside!
Could you please make a video on health facility in Yakutsk? I am interested in knowing how people in villages manage health emergencies particularly pregnancy and delivery during winter times.
Guys, what are you talking about? You better ask how people go to toilet in rural areas (villages etc.) during winter time - it's quite often that toilets located outside, so people enjoy fresh air at -50°C 😊 Do you have any questions how they give birth? Women in Yakutia give birth at any season, and there is no problem with that as temperature inside buildings is usually way above 25 degrees 😊
The engine auto on/off feature is cool! Growing up in Norway, we used to plug the car engine block to an electric outlet to keep the oil (pan) from freezing. Usually cars (in cold regions) would be plugged in if around -20°C or colder. In my hometown it got down to about -50°C. A few times it was so cold that the air in the tires would contract so much that all tires went flat! 🥶😎👍🏻
In Alaska everyone plugs their car in when it gets cold! There are plugs in most places. People often just leave their car running if they can’t plug it in, leading to a lot of air pollution which sits near the ground if it is very cold.
Thank you Maria! I live in a very mild climate. The result is that I cannot really imagine how cold it gets where you are. I appreciate you sharing information about your home. Rick USA
Here in Midwest part of U.S., we just change to winter tires and we already complain when we have to shovel the snow off of it 🤣. Thank you for sharing and asking the interesting question so we can learn what the culture is in other parts of the world.
Greetings from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇦🇿.I watch your videos with great interest. Yakutia is a beautiful and interesting, although it was very cold 🥶😅 I hope I will come there one day 🙂
That's amazing! I am living in west part of Russia, our winter not so cold, usually from 0C to -10C. There if temperature near -20C it is a big problem with transport, most of people in my city not ready for such cold temperatures and for example I never ever heard about this blanket for cars. Your videos teach us a lot of useful things. Thanks
I've spent so much time looking for your channel. I'm glad that I finally found it. I'm genuinely very interested in Yakutia, especially in how your culture has evolved to cope with the low temperatures. While I find it really interesting to see how you do things in the present, I'm also curious about your traditions, holidays, and traditional food. It would be great if you could share some traditional recipes. P.S. Great content! I hope that your channel will continue to grow. It's obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. They look great.
You are showing life as it is which is interesting. I love your style. You get stuck for the right word at times. I could see that you make a great effort to communicate effectively. Thank you very much.
I remember from my vacation to Sweden that they had a heater to keep the motor warm during winter. They plugged their cars into the electric grid in winter for this heater to run.
In Alaska, we have internal coolant heaters that we plug in over night and keeps our engine coolant warm, also a battery heater, a oil heater, all that plug in and keep all engine fluids warm.
It's so much smarter than all this bullshit, I live in Sweden as well and an engine block heater is more than enough whatever the temperature may be, covering the front grill is a good idea too (tho my father's E class does that automatically), also if you cover up the front grill the engine gets warm pretty quickly so that stupid blanket they put on the top of the engine is the ultimate fire hazard
@@tstodgell then buy one of those camping battery packs that is as big as a car battery and charge it home over night, then take it to the car in the morning and put the engine heather on for 10 mins and it'll start like a charm
In Austria it is important to know, from October to April we have to use winter tires. And it is recommended to have snow chains in the vehicle, when driving in the alpine regions. And we can get a lot of snow... We also have another diesel fuel in winter, (the winter diesel), which does not freeze so easy. By law, it has to be perfect at permanent - 20° C. In normal live, there are no troubles with night temperatures below - 28°C. Portable Garages are not popular here, because of the humidity in the air. There is often fog, even at freezing temp., so every textile is wet and damp. Many have heaters, with they put in the car, some have heating systems, which also heats the engine cooling system. Great thing - but very expensive. And never forget to check antifreeze in the cooling system and the screen wash. And put some lubricant on the door seals... In the car, I have allways warm blankets, because of the sometimes enormous traffic, accidents are common and so you have to wait some time on the Highway. Can get a little bit cold. Also, before I take the highway, I always fill up and get some water with me. Thank you for this video - greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!
@@babybirdhome drivers ed is a lot more comprehensive here in Austria and a lot of this stuff is actually mandated, like the winter tires or the use of snow chains on certain roads. And our driving exam isn't just one short exam, you have to go back for secondary education after some months and there they teach you how to drive on ice roads and stuff. You can also voluntarily do these types of courses and they're pretty popular. Our automobile clubs (the equivalent to AAA) offer them and they're usually pretty well booked.
Watching this video makes me very grateful where I live. (New England USA) For my cars just good tires and a snow brush and ice scraper. We have cold winters but not that extreme. Thanks for sharing.
Here in Belgium,you don't have to do much except change tires in winter. We have freezing ice/black ice here a lot. So you need to make sure to get out early and clean windshields and windows and give the car time to warm up and the ice to melt a bit. Some days there will be news reports telling you is better not to take your car because the roads have too much black ice.
Some places in Camada have block heaters. It's an electrical heater connected around the engine block. When you stop, you plug it in to not let the engine cool too much.
Yep, I live in Edmonton and cars sold here at least used to have block heaters, and many parking lots are equipped with power to plug the car heater in. But I never had to use them. I mostly had newer cars and they had no trouble starting up to -30 C. Winter tires are not mandatory here. Many people use them, but I usually just drive all-weather ones. You get used to occasional slippage :)
Thank u for sharing your daily life in your country.i am a filipino from phillipines and here there is only two types of weather, summer and rainy season Plus we dont need to cover our cars with a blanket, a simple garage is enough. God bless you all
It's always a pleasure watching her and her videos. Her voice is such a natural ASMR and her content is so much fun and interesting. A whole new culture and way of life that me as a Brazilian would and could never imagine. Thank you so much :)
Your videos are very enlightening for me. Thank you for sharing. My family uses wood to heat our house, our home is electric heated. And it’s expensive for our budget. We cut wood and such all summer. It’s not as cold here as it is where you are but we live within our budget.
In south Florida, having a remote start option for a car is really handy, as it helps it to cool down. It's also practically a necessity in summer to open your windows when you get into the car, and blast the AC at full. When you first get into your car, you haven't done this yet (of course), so you end-up sitting on seats that are hot-enough to cook certain foods, melt certain plastics, etc. For this reason, a window reflector is really helpful; but also helpful is to get your interior in any color other than black. Light-colored cars are helpful, too; but if you live near central Florida, those have the caveat of showing lovebug guts more. Speaking of lovebugs, people in central Florida have to have some means of scraping thousands of dead insects off their windshields on a regular basis 2-3 times a year. When there's a hurricane, you want to make sure your car is parked on some kind of artificial hill (There are no natural hills in South Florida -- Florida is the flattest state in the country, and its southern portions are all drained swampland.), as the rain can get high-enough to float your vehicle (Thankfully, the continental shelf and barrier islands mostly protect us from any storm surge.). For houses built on stilts, sandbags can be placed in-front of the garage door to help keep water out during these inevitable floods. Some people who live in the Everglades drive a special kind of car called a "Swamp Buggy", which is kind of a like a monster truck that you can drive underwater. It is for this reason that I am confident that Floridians will continue to inhabit the area even after Global Warming causes the seas to consume much of the land I once called home (It was only 2-6ft above sea level.).
@@miroslavvarga3707 Aye, but I don't think it'll end-up hitting apocalyptic levels -- we'll be able to reduce CO2 levels to acceptable amounts by the end of the century.
I like the way you talk. Very calm and clear. In this part of Canada where I live the temperature drop under -30°c but only a few days every year. So we don't use any extreme preparation like you do. Just winter tires and antifreeze.
wow this is so interesting. where i live in the U.S. the coldest I've seen it was -51f/-46c so far from what you are used too, I have diesel trucks so I use the standard block heater for the antifreeze and electric oil pan heater to keep the oil warm but our winters are typically -17c to -21c so not very cold compared to your winters I'm sure
@@hell0h0bbit That could be true, different vehicles may be affected differently. I have a 1969 Ford gas tractor for blowing snow, with an original carburetor, and while it has never seen -40, it starts right up in -28. Not bad for an old tractor.
All we do is keep an ice scratcher in the car to remove the ice off the windows a couple of weeks a winter. And some people have special sheets to place over the windows so they don't have to scratch ice.
Live in Florida. So no preparation needed👍. But grew up in Montana. We had electric oil pan heaters in the car that we plugged in at night to keep the engine oil warm. Without it the motor would not turn over.
Hi, I'm from South Africa. We do not have to make any additional preparations for our cars when we buy it, however most people do have garages to park their cars or they install a car port which is a metal structure, just to protect the car from the natural elements but not as extreme as yakutia winter lol
Here in South Florida tinted windows are a must to keep the interior cool. If not, the sun will damage the interior pretty quickly, the dash will dry out and start cracking. If you have leather or vinyl seats they will dry and crack also. Sun shades protect the dash and interior also.
Hi I am from the uk loving your channel . I am a newbie to your channel . Here in Scotland uk the only think we do here for winter is change our tyres . And use antifreeze best
Thank you for your very informative films. I feel that it is so important to gain an insight into the daily lives of ordinary Russian people to promote greater understanding of our world.
Hi! Your videos are very exciting, congratulations. I am from Canada , province of Quebec. Here we have cold weather in winter but never as much as your place.I love to visit other countries and the way you present your place is brilliant thanks. I'm going to view all your videos. Bye!
Amazing . The way you survive in such extreme cold conditions in the world. Hats off to you people . India we survive in temperatures of 45 degrees centigrade and above. Bible says We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Praise God. God bless your country . I love all your videos, they are very interesting.🌿
Well not too many places get that cold and those that get cold like northern Europe and America have assisting infrastructure. But when you have -50C that system makes a lot of sense.
I absolutely love the way you people live. I'm ready to move! You have by far a better way to keep vehicles warm than anywhere I've been in the world. A half an hour sounds like a lot even at -70, All things considered 15 minutes would do fine. I'm ready to move!
Hi Maria, warm regards and loves from me in Indonesia, I just by accident found your channel, and I love it so much, as I always love to know about other countries cultures, cuisines, weathers etc...hope someday I can travel all around the world....
I live in Canada where our lowest temperature has been -40C, and we have some years gotten 4 meters of snow. Studded tyres are used by a lot of people in winter, and work very well on the ice, but by law all cars in our Province have to have winter tyres from early December until late March. We have 'block heaters' which when plugged in keep the oil warm so the car is easier to start. Some people who cannot plug in the block heater, install a second battery so they have more assurance of starting the car. I was in Norther Quebec many years ago in a really hard winter, where it was -45C every day, so we left the car running 24 hours every day for the full seven days we were there, but it was a rental car so we were not worried. I love your program as it gives good ideas that we can use in winter. If I may say so, your English is very, very good.
In Yakutia we don’t use studded tires that much as it is always cold the snow it not melting so ice is rare. Also because it is very cold the tires will stick to the dry ice. In Western Russia they use more studded tires. We also keep the car running all the time if we go to mall, work, or visit friends.
What lovely relaxing videos you make. I just found your channel by chance and watched three of them back to back (this one, the one about heating your home, and the one about getting water). Fascinating stuff. I live in the UK, where it rains a lot but the weather is never that extreme in any regards, so your videos are teaching me a lot :)
Here in Alberta, Canada we typically have block heaters that we plug in when our vehicles are outside and it is really cold. I have a garage that is not heated, but it is attached to the house and is warm enough that I don't need to use a block heater. Other than that, most people put on winter tires rather than their all season tires. My vehicles are all wheel drive / four wheel drive so all season tires are good enough to meet my needs. I am recently retired, so if the temperature is extremely low for several days, or if we get a big snow storm, I just stay home until things improve. Thank you for the video, it was really interesting.
When I lived in Hawai'i/O'ahu for 11 years the UV light was so intense especially in the summer months long term exposed plastic panels and dark paint will rapidly fade even crack. Most people have car ports or garages and long term storage cars have to covered with similar blanket to protect from the UV. The UV light is really no joke as we had Lāhainā Noon where sun directly overhead and no shadow is cast. I have a few sun spots on my left side of my face just from driving (I never installed a tint shield).
@@hell0h0bbit Yeah it takes your skin awhile to not get fried even in seconds. BTW, I worked on EIS for the TMT on Mauna Kea up there is nuts. You can get a blistering burn within 20-30 minutes
@@hell0h0bbit ha ha yeah, this haole boy quickly learned to stay out of sun there. With all that I still have some sun spot on the left side of face just from driving.
Love your videos! In Melbourne, Australia we can drive our cars at any time without any preparation - I guess we are very lucky. Our coldest Winter temperatures are around 10 Deg C, and in Mid Summer it can get to 45 deg C!
This garage is very useful! Here we have opposite problem, in summer we have average temperature of 40c degree and some times we ne do to stop our engine in order to cool it. Than you for your video 😊
So true in the southwestern United States like Arizona and Utah it gets very hot and most often the heat is more of an issue than the cold, overheating engines is a common problem
lovely videos, hearing about Yakutia and how life thrives in such cold conditions is like listening to nice stories from a warm and kind story teller :) thank fully we do not need to do anything additional for our cars than just to have it serviced every 10K kilometres or 1 year .......
I live in a warmer region of Germany. More and more we use all season tires, they are good as long as you don't go to wintersport regions. Our winter is more or less green, sometimes snow. We can let the car outside without any preparation. I remember that 25years ago you could manually adjust the airfilter for winter. Then the engine got warmer air, heated up by the exhauster. It was also a good idea to put a piece of carton to the front of the car to reduce cold air intake, but only in cold winters. Nowadays the cars prepare themselves, automatically. I can use my bycicle also in winter and often my motorbike also. But in some years it gets cold (-20°C). this can happen when the air comes from the east or from the north, This seldom lasts longer than a week. Average termperature in January is +2°C. There are other parts in Germany who have a much colder winter, but still not comparable to Russia.
This was super interesting! In Finland we only change the tires twice a year. Some people do use insulation on the engine intakes. Diesel is different kind in the winter as summer diesel does not work in in the winter. Then I have this cover over the windscreen, side windows & mirrors so I don't need to remove any ice from them before driving. And of course, engine heaters (electric or fuel burning) are a must.
Hi, Maria! I’m an old viewer of your channel but from my old profile. It’s so nice to see that your channel has grown so much. Congratulations! ❤️ Your videos are very interesting.
I love the Autostart turning the car on and off dependent on temperature. I haven't seen that here in Alaska but we do have a remote starter which, when you press it, turns the car on for 20 minutes and then turns it off again. We only use it so we don't have to get into a cold car, because that's the worst I think living in a cold climate. I do have a heated garage at home though.
That's amazing to have the car starting up and shutting down automatically during the night. It's so different to how most cars are kept during winter. Thank you!
I just saw the Sakha wildfires on the news -- in the video there was a house burning that reminded me of your family's farm in your videos. I really hope you are all well, the fires look terrifying.
In North Dakota we install Engine Block Heater and plugged-in all night or Battery Blanket/Warmer - Yes, I do change tires to Winter tires/some of them with studded - I also have Auto Start so I can run my car when it's very cold. Please take care.
Really love your videos, having car in my country(Taiwan) is pretty common, but having a parking space sometimes can be expensive(sometimes parking space is more expensive than a car)
Very interesting and so different from my life in southern Australia. Last week my work colleagues car was +70°c inside because it's black and he left it in the sun. It was only +39°c that day but a black car in the sun with the windows up can kill you very quickly. He had to leave the doors open for 5 minutes before he could move it into the shade. When he took the handbrake off the glue that held the cover on the handbrake had melted and it just slipped off in his hand. I burnt my feet on the deck outside a few years ago. I took a temperature reading with a laser thermometer and it was over 70°c aswell. It was about 40°c that day to. That's about 150°c hotter than touching something outside at your place. I'm sure if I put my hand on the ground at your place in winter it would die within seconds.
For very cold regions in America and Canada, they recommend having an emergency kit in your car for during the winter as well. Things like energy bars, wool blankets, flares, etc, in case you break down out in the cold.
It only gets down to about - 30F ( -34 C ) where I live in the Northwest USA so plugging my truck in with a electrical cord is usually enough. A lot of trucks here in the colder parts of US have engine block heaters. Mine has a heater for engine, transmission, fuel tank, and oil sump. It doesn't draw much electricity and it gives all the woodland creatures somewhere to go if they get cold. Of Course this means I have to scare away all the bunnies and birds out from under my truck before I go anywhere but I dont mind if it keeps them warm until spring.
You can reduce fuel consumption on your car in winter. Just install a pipe so the engine is sucking air very close to the exhaust manifold. An insulated furnace small pipe going from the intake inlet to the exhaust manifold heat shield will help tremendously. cold air is very dense and requires more fuel,warm air will require less fuel. blocking the radiator airflow is a good idea already. Old cars with carburetors had those features from factory,to improve cold weather economy and driveability.
The engine works better if the air is cold. That's why you have things like intercoolers on your car. So preheating the air entering the car, would not be a god thing. However, you don't want the engine block to get too cold. That's why they put insulation around the engine block. The reason why they use more fuel in winter, is because they need to regularly heat the car during night, and also because a cold engine uses more fuel than a warm engine. But the air entering the engine, should preferably as as cold as possible. I also assume they have electrically heated seats, and possibly also other electrically heated things in their cars. And of course that will also use more fuel.
@@Tjalve70 Warm air will reduce fuel consumption in the absolute whatever you do,fuel quatity is delivered according air density and temperature. The engine will also warm up quicker,wich reduces also consumption,so you can reduce running time to heat up the car. You don't care if you don't make power by minus 50 °C temperatures,simply because you can't use power,and because air sucked in will be at negative temperatures or barely positive temps anyways,ambient air being that cold. The better efficiency on engines is with around 40 °C air temps and fuel anyway. Too cold makes efficiency drop, fuel ignition and combustion quality is reduced at colder temps.
I fly a plane where you adjust the fuel mixture manually. Cold air is much better for the engine, you get higher performance from it. So if you want the same performance and consumption as i warm air, you just lower the throttle. Mixture is also manually set there for optimal performance or fuel consumption. The problem in winter is keeping the cylinders and oil at optimal tmperature, the engine is air cooled so you have to plug those air intakes for cooling the engine. It also has an electric pre-heater which you can leave plugged in to an electric outlet to keep the engine warm before you start it up. So I would say cold air is good but cold engine is not. In cars, who knows what the electronics is doing to fuel/air mixture and throttle these days.
@@SharnLugonn Planes and cars are different : On planes,fuel is octane 100 minimum,so you can run the engine very lean,and cold air will help to keep it at good operating temperature,the combustion being lean,so hot. As you said,you adjust manually ,and as i know,you have a peak of lean mixture,where it's the most economical. On cars,you have a 95 or 98 octane maximum,so you can't run a lean mixture without damaging the engine with an eventual pre ignition phenomenon wich occurs in this case. Also ,depollution devices,as catalytic converters need a fluctuating lean to rich mixture to work efficiently and desintegrate soots and hydrogen oxydes. It's a necessity,so running lean is impossible. You can only reduce fuel used by using less dense air,wich is inevitably warmer. Oil temperature is not a problem,they are very thin in nowadays cars,and particularly in Northern countries. You can't intervene on the rest to save fuel, if it's to waste it in electricity by plugging in a block heater,mainly made for diesel engines requiring heat to start up easily. Like i said,if you want to save fuel,use hot air from the exhaust manifold,the rest is wasting energy, as gas engines start well even in cold climates.
I admire the ingenuity of maintaining a car in those brutal winter months. I live in Georgia and the only preparations I make is a sun shade/visor to cover the windshield during the hot summer months. That's it!
My personal experience was around-40, very unusual Winter. The amount of problems turn up at that temperature is mind boggling. Diesel turns solid, rubber gets hard, even in car with heater going full blast the vent only blown cold Air. Car engine stayed cool. So those preps make a lot of sense to me. One more thing nobody can pay me enough to live in that place in winter
I remember watching a documentary (or something on discovery channel), oh probably decades ago, where they were starting fires under the fuel tanks of trucks in Alaska to keep the diesel from gelling. Seemed legit...
Wow! This is car winterization taken to a new level I had never seen. I mean car block heaters is what I thought was the max extreme, but this is something else. Great video.
Our winters here in Denmark are not worth mentioning. 😂 This winter i didn’t even bother with changing from summer- to wintertyres. As far as i remember we had like a week with temperatures below minus 10-15˚C and 3-4 cm of snow. Otherwise it’s just raining and miserable grey so instead we stayed at home - forced by weather, forced by Covid - and enjoyed the indoor with some good food.
We have to prepare our cars for the summer here! Tires and batteries wear out super fast in the summer here. Sometimes there is such a big shift in the lows and highs that I’ve seen tires look deflated in the morning and slight over inflated by the afternoon. I always take my car to get the AC and coolant system checked before the summer and make sure to carry LOTS of water in the trunk just in case. It’s also a good idea to have tinted windows and a sunscreen over the windshield when you park. I have had steering wheels and seatbelts burn me on hot days.
That vehicle autostart when the temperature drops is very clever I haven't seen that before 👍❤️
Cause you dont have a Thermometer Ding!!! (Thats so beautifully german)
I think that feature is ONLY designed for vehicles that operates at those temperature. It's probably programmed into the vehicle for vehicle that operates in places like Siberia etc etc..
All the climate people and flat earthers would be furious to know that this exists lol...
@@jedidiah5131 why?
Are you kidding me? That feature is standard on higher end remote starts for the last 20 years lol
I am amazed by how people in your region survive and flourish in the extreme cold. Thank you for sharing. I’ve learned so much watching your videos.
I've never heard of that feature where the car starts and turns off automatically according to the temperature. Pretty cool.
Technologies help people!
Not automatically, it’s a remote starter
It's an alternative to electric heaters when you can't easily run an extension cord.
Yeah, in northern Canada most people plug-in the car's block heater to an electrical outlet to keep the engine block's oil from freezing up. But myself being too lazy, I rely on my timed Remote Engine Starter, that never let me down in twenty years as I keep the car's battery in top shape.
@@ananasbanana 4:22 Unless that's mistranslated, it looks like she's saying it automatically turns on when the internal temperature of the vehicle goes below -5C
I have a Prius and I can just leave it turned on when it’s really cold. It starts and stops the engine as needed and will maintain a minimum cabin temperature. Worked great at minus 38c.
I lived 22 years in Northern Sweden and all we use for winter is a engine block heater connected with a cord as @Road and Destination mentioned in comments below, besides changing to winter tires with spikes on. And some cars have diesel and petrol engine heaters that can be set on a timer or used with an app to turn it on this is really only an option on newer cars though. Winters are also around 6 months here, and during the darkest months of the year I think we get barely one hour of daylight and during summer it's the complete opposite. The sun never sets and we have daylight 24/7. -20c to -30c is very common, the coldest I got to experience was -40 to -42c but this is very unusual. Greetings from Sweden! I can definitely relate to the things you say and do on this channel and why you think Yakutia is beautiful.
In northern Canada , Manitoba we do the same. All parking spots have power outlets and I would ALWAYS plug in the vehicle. If not, it won't start at all.
Blockheaters is a must.
@@useryggfdcc Also in Finland atleast in Northern part every car has electric outlet to heat up the engine. Some people have webasto, which is heater that burns fuel to warmup the engine and the cabine.
@@fischer-3934 I have not seen any systems like that on personal vehicles here but, semi trucks have a system called pro heat that heats the cabin and engine coolant while the main engine is off. I have seen diesel trucks with circulating heaters instead of regular block heaters.
Проблема обогрева от розетки в том что вы нагрете двигатель, с как вы будете греть масло? Масло в коробке передач, масло в редукторе? Никак
@@boomzoomovich Block heater is attached to bottom of the engine where is the oil of the engine. So that is solved. In Finland there isn't so cold that we have to heat up the gearbox also. Atleast I have not heard about it ever. But in Yakutsk it is probably so cold that the gearbox is frozen stiff if you do not keep it warm.
When I lived in northern Minnesota in the US some cars can be equipped with engine block heaters. You plug your block heater into a standard outlet and it will keep the engine warm enough to allow it to start. We would often do this when temps were 0 to -30c
Do keep the heater on the whole time when the engines is off, or just some time before you want to use it?
@@tristanwegner Yes. It doesn’t take a lot of juice. It keeps the oil warm which makes it easier on the starter. The blanket thing is way too much work. Get out of a warm car and spend 10 minutes freezing your ass off putting the blanket on.
-30c is far from -71c
Growing up in Australia, we had reflective windscreen covers on the car when it was parked outside. They stopped the interior of the car heating up so much. Without the cover, sometimes you can't touch the steering wheel or you will burn your hands!
Best parking spot near the shopping center is determined by the shade, and not the distance to the entrance :)
We don't use such things where I live but it gets really hot during summer so we try to keep some window open. it reduces heat somewhat . Still it is extremely hot when we sit in car. I am surprised how they endure such cold weather. I think temperature has never drops below where I live even in winter. For us even temperature below 20 like 19°c is cold. 😅
Edit: thanks a lot for likes everyone.
Almost like that here Columbus ohio
Entirely opposite. That’s nature. Great.😊
@@naimairfan5738 if it was -71C outside I wouldnt put a blanket over the car
I m from India. I love ur channel. Yakutia is a wonderful place. I love Russians. Thanks for showing amazing life. Altogether new experience for us
"Portable Garage"--I love it, especially the temperature based starter! Yakutians are geniuses. We rarely ever reached -50, but cold enough that we used different anti-freeze (thicker) and oil (thinner) for winter, and had heaters for battery and engine block that you plug into your home electricity or a spare car battery if you're away from home. Some people had oilpan heaters as well.
This channel provides ASMR relaxation thanks to Miss Maria’s soft delivery. Her topics are very interesting.
Wow! I grew up in Siberia (around Surgut), and I'm familiar with inside blankets and winter tires, but this is a new level! Very interesting!
@@pluutoop yeah ofc
@@ananya.m.2158 no I don't think so.
@@pluutoop only if they want to drive it the next day.
@@pluutoop we keep the blankets all winter when we drive and when we park. Only if you drive at a high speed it is better to open the fan isolation a bit to bring enough air to the engine as it can sometimes overheat.
I admire the people of Yakutia admirably as they have found ways to overcome the difficulties of living in the harshest winters on our planet.
I lived in Texas one summer and the car got so hot in the sun the rear view mirror glue failed and it fell off. The seat belt buckles were like branding irons and could quickly burn your skin. Using a cardboard sunshade for the windshield helps but I don't miss that.
I think I'd rather deal with the heat than the cold lol
Oh, I can't imagine the heat in the car.
I think you're on the wrong site.
Same here in Australia summer
Yup, you can literally fry an egg right on the sidewalk some days, but I still love TX!
They remember the Exact day when it was warm . 13th of February for this lady !! That gives a good perspective of how precious "Warmth" is to Yakutian people.
i’m rewatching this video after 2 months and the first thing i notice again is the fact that her voice is rly relaxing to listen to 😭✨
Absolutely...:)
I'm from Edmonton, Canada, where winter temperatures can get down to -40. We just use a plug-in block heater that keeps the engine warm. That works great for us.
That requires a power cord, somewhere relatively close to a receptacle. Parking on the street or near apartment buildings that's not really an option. And those only keep the engine warm, while this process keeps the whole car warm not just the engine.
@@saidtheblueknight Yes, that's why I said it works great for us.
@@larry4674 Yep, but it does not work great for them ;-) It's like commenting on a house in Sudan, which has no access to electricity and thus has to use other - available resources to cool off, and saying that you use A/C unit in your place, and it works;-)
Do you have to use special batteries? Surely a normal lead acid car battery would freeze solid at -40c?
@@johnj3577 It won't when its charged. If its depleted or in poor condition, it freezes solid and then it is ruined.
Your editing has gotten so much better in just the last year it's wild. Congratulations on crossing 50k subs. Here in Denmark we just have to remember to put on winter-wheels if it's a really cold winter but nothing like Yakutia
Yes i agree. Really great video.
You goofy Danes. You live on a tiny peninsula. Go somewhere mid continent and experience the cold.
@@preussianblau5595 I actually experienced a mid-continent winter for the first time this winter. -15 for a few weeks straight in southern Poland. Jeeez I froze my fucking dick off. That said, the lack of rain and constant wind actually made it easier to do activities outside. Like, yeah it was cold but the cold wasn't "attacking" as it does up on our archipelago. Also the days were a lot longer. Up here winter days get down to like 4 hours of sunshine, down in Poland the shortest day was like 6,5-7.
@@nicholaswoollhead6830 fair enough. I'd rather have -25C and no wind than a rainy windy day at 2 degrees C.
I'm Finnish and I've never been so cold in my life as I were in Denmark, it's so damn humid that even the +1°C felt horrible compared to the -10 to -15 we get regularly here in Finland
Wow! How interesting! I will never, EVER complain about having to warm up my car during the winter again 🙃🤣
I live in Southern Finland, and since I don't have garage myself I have to use (electric) engine pre-heater and a separate heater for the cabin. Usually 2 hours of heating is enough but when it gets below -20C It might require more time. Heaters take their power from external connection so if I'm on the road I might have some startup difficulties if the car battery is too old. I usually don't need to wind protect the engine compartment. Winter tires are a must have.
I live in Pittsburgh in the US. In winter it might get down to -15F but only a few days, if at all. We just leave our cars outside, uncovered. On very cold days the cars can be hard to start, so we need good batteries.
I enjoy watching how you live there. Some of the things you do are very different, but I think we are all the same inside!
Could you please make a video on health facility in Yakutsk? I am interested in knowing how people in villages manage health emergencies particularly pregnancy and delivery during winter times.
People probably aren’t born during the winter time due to the environment.
@@EpicMind500 Yeah ,they hold it in till summer. Not :)
@@baginatora No, they probably don’t have sex during summer so that pregnancies don’t have to be carried through winter because it’s risky.
@@baginatora It’s likely that most children are conceived during winter when you have to stay inside due to the extreme weather conditions outside.
Guys, what are you talking about?
You better ask how people go to toilet in rural areas (villages etc.) during winter time - it's quite often that toilets located outside, so people enjoy fresh air at -50°C 😊
Do you have any questions how they give birth? Women in Yakutia give birth at any season, and there is no problem with that as temperature inside buildings is usually way above 25 degrees 😊
The engine auto on/off feature is cool!
Growing up in Norway, we used to plug the car engine block to an electric outlet to keep the oil (pan) from freezing. Usually cars (in cold regions) would be plugged in if around -20°C or colder. In my hometown it got down to about -50°C. A few times it was so cold that the air in the tires would contract so much that all tires went flat! 🥶😎👍🏻
In Alaska everyone plugs their car in when it gets cold! There are plugs in most places. People often just leave their car running if they can’t plug it in, leading to a lot of air pollution which sits near the ground if it is very cold.
plugs freeze..
@@iv7796 not the ones they build for these conditions. In Canada they are available in almost every parking spot and they work fine even in - 50c
Thank you Maria! I live in a very mild climate. The result is that I cannot really imagine how cold it gets where you are. I appreciate you sharing information about your home.
Rick USA
Thanks to your friend for showing us how the car covers and auto-start work :)
Here in Midwest part of U.S., we just change to winter tires and we already complain when we have to shovel the snow off of it 🤣. Thank you for sharing and asking the interesting question so we can learn what the culture is in other parts of the world.
Greetings from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇦🇿.I watch your videos with great interest. Yakutia is a beautiful and interesting, although it was very cold 🥶😅 I hope I will come there one day 🙂
That's amazing! I am living in west part of Russia, our winter not so cold, usually from 0C to -10C. There if temperature near -20C it is a big problem with transport, most of people in my city not ready for such cold temperatures and for example I never ever heard about this blanket for cars. Your videos teach us a lot of useful things. Thanks
I've spent so much time looking for your channel. I'm glad that I finally found it. I'm genuinely very interested in Yakutia, especially in how your culture has evolved to cope with the low temperatures. While I find it really interesting to see how you do things in the present, I'm also curious about your traditions, holidays, and traditional food. It would be great if you could share some traditional recipes.
P.S. Great content! I hope that your channel will continue to grow. It's obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. They look great.
You are showing life as it is which is interesting. I love your style. You get stuck for the right word at times. I could see that you make a great effort to communicate effectively. Thank you very much.
I remember from my vacation to Sweden that they had a heater to keep the motor warm during winter. They plugged their cars into the electric grid in winter for this heater to run.
Engine block heater
Basic block heater to keep oil warm or car will not start
In Alaska, we have internal coolant heaters that we plug in over night and keeps our engine coolant warm, also a battery heater, a oil heater, all that plug in and keep all engine fluids warm.
Finland, Norway and Sweden some system
It's so much smarter than all this bullshit, I live in Sweden as well and an engine block heater is more than enough whatever the temperature may be, covering the front grill is a good idea too (tho my father's E class does that automatically), also if you cover up the front grill the engine gets warm pretty quickly so that stupid blanket they put on the top of the engine is the ultimate fire hazard
@@mariodukay2069 Electric engine heaters need electricity. What if there is no electricity where you park? Not everyone lives in fancy cities.
@@tstodgell then buy one of those camping battery packs that is as big as a car battery and charge it home over night, then take it to the car in the morning and put the engine heather on for 10 mins and it'll start like a charm
@@mariodukay2069 and how will you keep the battery warm when the weather is -40?
In Austria it is important to know, from October to April we have to use winter tires. And it is recommended to have snow chains in the vehicle, when driving in the alpine regions. And we can get a lot of snow...
We also have another diesel fuel in winter, (the winter diesel), which does not freeze so easy. By law, it has to be perfect at permanent - 20° C. In normal live, there are no troubles with night temperatures below - 28°C.
Portable Garages are not popular here, because of the humidity in the air. There is often fog, even at freezing temp., so every textile is wet and damp.
Many have heaters, with they put in the car, some have heating systems, which also heats the engine cooling system. Great thing - but very expensive.
And never forget to check antifreeze in the cooling system and the screen wash. And put some lubricant on the door seals...
In the car, I have allways warm blankets, because of the sometimes enormous traffic, accidents are common and so you have to wait some time on the Highway. Can get a little bit cold. Also, before I take the highway, I always fill up and get some water with me.
Thank you for this video - greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!
You are a very wise driver. I wish more people in the U.S. were so wise!
@@babybirdhome drivers ed is a lot more comprehensive here in Austria and a lot of this stuff is actually mandated, like the winter tires or the use of snow chains on certain roads.
And our driving exam isn't just one short exam, you have to go back for secondary education after some months and there they teach you how to drive on ice roads and stuff.
You can also voluntarily do these types of courses and they're pretty popular. Our automobile clubs (the equivalent to AAA) offer them and they're usually pretty well booked.
Watching this video makes me very grateful where I live. (New England USA) For my cars just good tires and a snow brush and ice scraper.
We have cold winters but not that extreme.
Thanks for sharing.
Here in Belgium,you don't have to do much except change tires in winter. We have freezing ice/black ice here a lot. So you need to make sure to get out early and clean windshields and windows and give the car time to warm up and the ice to melt a bit. Some days there will be news reports telling you is better not to take your car because the roads have too much black ice.
Some places in Camada have block heaters. It's an electrical heater connected around the engine block.
When you stop, you plug it in to not let the engine cool too much.
Yep, I live in Edmonton and cars sold here at least used to have block heaters, and many parking lots are equipped with power to plug the car heater in. But I never had to use them. I mostly had newer cars and they had no trouble starting up to -30 C. Winter tires are not mandatory here. Many people use them, but I usually just drive all-weather ones. You get used to occasional slippage :)

One positive benefit of the the internet and UA-cam.
Agreed.A charming woman.
Your videos are very enlightening for me. Thank you for sharing. My family uses wood to heat our house, our home is electric heated. And it’s expensive for our budget. We cut wood and such all summer. It’s not as cold here as it is where you are but we live within our budget.
that's is so well presented im becoming a huge fan love the yakutia culture
In south Florida, having a remote start option for a car is really handy, as it helps it to cool down. It's also practically a necessity in summer to open your windows when you get into the car, and blast the AC at full. When you first get into your car, you haven't done this yet (of course), so you end-up sitting on seats that are hot-enough to cook certain foods, melt certain plastics, etc. For this reason, a window reflector is really helpful; but also helpful is to get your interior in any color other than black. Light-colored cars are helpful, too; but if you live near central Florida, those have the caveat of showing lovebug guts more. Speaking of lovebugs, people in central Florida have to have some means of scraping thousands of dead insects off their windshields on a regular basis 2-3 times a year.
When there's a hurricane, you want to make sure your car is parked on some kind of artificial hill (There are no natural hills in South Florida -- Florida is the flattest state in the country, and its southern portions are all drained swampland.), as the rain can get high-enough to float your vehicle (Thankfully, the continental shelf and barrier islands mostly protect us from any storm surge.). For houses built on stilts, sandbags can be placed in-front of the garage door to help keep water out during these inevitable floods. Some people who live in the Everglades drive a special kind of car called a "Swamp Buggy", which is kind of a like a monster truck that you can drive underwater. It is for this reason that I am confident that Floridians will continue to inhabit the area even after Global Warming causes the seas to consume much of the land I once called home (It was only 2-6ft above sea level.).
You really believe in global warming???
@@miroslavvarga3707 Aye, but I don't think it'll end-up hitting apocalyptic levels -- we'll be able to reduce CO2 levels to acceptable amounts by the end of the century.
thank you maria for taking us around to see this part of the world. much appreciated !
I like the way you talk. Very calm and clear. In this part of Canada where I live the temperature drop under -30°c but only a few days every year. So we don't use any extreme preparation like you do. Just winter tires and antifreeze.
Your English accent is so good
I can understand it easily
Thanks 😊😘😊
Very interesting. I found your channel by chance. Greetings from Brazil.
wow this is so interesting. where i live in the U.S. the coldest I've seen it was -51f/-46c so far from what you are used too, I have diesel trucks so I use the standard block heater for the antifreeze and electric oil pan heater to keep the oil warm but our winters are typically -17c to -21c so not very cold compared to your winters I'm sure
In Canada, we sometimes use block heaters, which are electric heaters that warm the engine antifreeze. This helps starting in extreme cold.
Still doesn't work when it's -40 in Alberta
@@hell0h0bbit That could be true, different vehicles may be affected differently. I have a 1969 Ford gas tractor for blowing snow, with an original carburetor, and while it has never seen -40, it starts right up in -28. Not bad for an old tractor.
@@hell0h0bbit Maybe nothing works at -40
All we do is keep an ice scratcher in the car to remove the ice off the windows a couple of weeks a winter. And some people have special sheets to place over the windows so they don't have to scratch ice.
Live in Florida. So no preparation needed👍. But grew up in Montana. We had electric oil pan heaters in the car that we plugged in at night to keep the engine oil warm. Without it the motor would not turn over.
Hi, I'm from South Africa. We do not have to make any additional preparations for our cars when we buy it, however most people do have garages to park their cars or they install a car port which is a metal structure, just to protect the car from the natural elements but not as extreme as yakutia winter lol
Here in South Florida tinted windows are a must to keep the interior cool. If not, the sun will damage the interior pretty quickly, the dash will dry out and start cracking. If you have leather or vinyl seats they will dry and crack also. Sun shades protect the dash and interior also.
Это было очень красивое видео.большое спасибо🙏👍👍👍👍👍🧿🇹🇷🇷🇺
Hi I am from the uk loving your channel . I am a newbie to your channel . Here in Scotland uk the only think we do here for winter is change our tyres . And use antifreeze best
Thank you for your very informative films. I feel that it is so important to gain an insight into the daily lives of ordinary Russian people to promote greater understanding of our world.
Красавица, удачи, успехов во всём!!! Махтал!
Hi! Your videos are very exciting, congratulations. I am from Canada , province of Quebec. Here we have cold weather in winter but never as much as your place.I love to visit other countries and the way you present your place is brilliant thanks. I'm going to view all your videos. Bye!
Amazing . The way you survive in such extreme cold conditions in the world. Hats off to you people . India we survive in temperatures of 45 degrees centigrade and above. Bible says We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Praise God. God bless your country . I love all your videos, they are very interesting.🌿
A Temperature Based Auto Start 🚘 feature is amazing. I never heard that before as a mechanic.
Well not too many places get that cold and those that get cold like northern Europe and America have assisting infrastructure. But when you have -50C that system makes a lot of sense.
Во всем бывшем СССР почти у всех стоит автозапуск 150- 200 $
I absolutely love the way you people live. I'm ready to move! You have by far a better way to keep vehicles warm than anywhere I've been in the world. A half an hour sounds like a lot even at -70, All things considered 15 minutes would do fine. I'm ready to move!
Hi Maria, warm regards and loves from me in Indonesia, I just by accident found your channel, and I love it so much, as I always love to know about other countries cultures, cuisines, weathers etc...hope someday I can travel all around the world....
I live in Canada where our lowest temperature has been -40C, and we have some years gotten 4 meters of snow.
Studded tyres are used by a lot of people in winter, and work very well on the ice, but by law all cars in our Province have to have winter tyres from early December until late March.
We have 'block heaters' which when plugged in keep the oil warm so the car is easier to start.
Some people who cannot plug in the block heater, install a second battery so they have more assurance of starting the car.
I was in Norther Quebec many years ago in a really hard winter, where it was -45C every day, so we left the car running 24 hours every day for the full seven days we were there, but it was a rental car so we were not worried.
I love your program as it gives good ideas that we can use in winter.
If I may say so, your English is very, very good.
In Yakutia we don’t use studded tires that much as it is always cold the snow it not melting so ice is rare. Also because it is very cold the tires will stick to the dry ice. In Western Russia they use more studded tires. We also keep the car running all the time if we go to mall, work, or visit friends.
What lovely relaxing videos you make. I just found your channel by chance and watched three of them back to back (this one, the one about heating your home, and the one about getting water). Fascinating stuff. I live in the UK, where it rains a lot but the weather is never that extreme in any regards, so your videos are teaching me a lot :)
Here in Alberta, Canada we typically have block heaters that we plug in when our vehicles are outside and it is really cold. I have a garage that is not heated, but it is attached to the house and is warm enough that I don't need to use a block heater. Other than that, most people put on winter tires rather than their all season tires. My vehicles are all wheel drive / four wheel drive so all season tires are good enough to meet my needs. I am recently retired, so if the temperature is extremely low for several days, or if we get a big snow storm, I just stay home until things improve. Thank you for the video, it was really interesting.
Just realised, that "its bin a while". Hope you and your loved ones are well! I wish you a nice summer! All the best from Hamburg in Germany!❤️
Absolutely lovely videos
When I lived in Hawai'i/O'ahu for 11 years the UV light was so intense especially in the summer months long term exposed plastic panels and dark paint will rapidly fade even crack. Most people have car ports or garages and long term storage cars have to covered with similar blanket to protect from the UV. The UV light is really no joke as we had Lāhainā Noon where sun directly overhead and no shadow is cast. I have a few sun spots on my left side of my face just from driving (I never installed a tint shield).

We use engine block heaters to keep the motor oil from freezing, makes it easier to start large trucks. It rarely gets below -10c .
Love your videos! In Melbourne, Australia we can drive our cars at any time without any preparation - I guess we are very lucky. Our coldest Winter temperatures are around 10 Deg C, and in Mid Summer it can get to 45 deg C!
No problem at the south of Spain. In my hometown, Cádiz, the coldest temperature in winter never goes minus zero.
This garage is very useful!
Here we have opposite problem, in summer we have average temperature of 40c degree and some times we ne do to stop our engine in order to cool it.
Than you for your video 😊
So true in the southwestern United States like Arizona and Utah it gets very hot and most often the heat is more of an issue than the cold, overheating engines is a common problem
lovely videos, hearing about Yakutia and how life thrives in such cold conditions is like listening to nice stories from a warm and kind story teller :) thank fully we do not need to do anything additional for our cars than just to have it serviced every 10K kilometres or 1 year .......
I live in kerala.Through your videos I come to know about this place.It's amazing😍😍one day you will reach 1M subscribers,all the best wishes 😍
I live in a warmer region of Germany. More and more we use all season tires, they are good as long as you don't go to wintersport regions. Our winter is more or less green, sometimes snow. We can let the car outside without any preparation. I remember that 25years ago you could manually adjust the airfilter for winter. Then the engine got warmer air, heated up by the exhauster. It was also a good idea to put a piece of carton to the front of the car to reduce cold air intake, but only in cold winters. Nowadays the cars prepare themselves, automatically. I can use my bycicle also in winter and often my motorbike also. But in some years it gets cold (-20°C). this can happen when the air comes from the east or from the north, This seldom lasts longer than a week. Average termperature in January is +2°C. There are other parts in Germany who have a much colder winter, but still not comparable to Russia.
Great job! From turkey🇹🇷
This was super interesting! In Finland we only change the tires twice a year. Some people do use insulation on the engine intakes. Diesel is different kind in the winter as summer diesel does not work in in the winter. Then I have this cover over the windscreen, side windows & mirrors so I don't need to remove any ice from them before driving. And of course, engine heaters (electric or fuel burning) are a must.
Hi, Maria! I’m an old viewer of your channel but from my old profile. It’s so nice to see that your channel has grown so much. Congratulations! ❤️
Your videos are very interesting.
I love the Autostart turning the car on and off dependent on temperature.
I haven't seen that here in Alaska but we do have a remote starter which, when you press it, turns the car on for 20 minutes and then turns it off again. We only use it so we don't have to get into a cold car, because that's the worst I think living in a cold climate. I do have a heated garage at home though.
That's amazing to have the car starting up and shutting down automatically during the night. It's so different to how most cars are kept during winter. Thank you!
That's an amazing idea at 4:50 with the key " fob " sensing the temperature and starting the car automatically allowing it to warm back up !
I just saw the Sakha wildfires on the news -- in the video there was a house burning that reminded me of your family's farm in your videos.
I really hope you are all well, the fires look terrifying.
Yes I have something! from the below the car clothing and drive thru

That is the price if you are really lucky in Yakutsk
In North Dakota we install Engine Block Heater and plugged-in all night or Battery Blanket/Warmer - Yes, I do change tires to Winter tires/some of them with studded - I also have
Auto Start so I can run my car when it's very cold. Please take care.

Very interesting and so different from my life in southern Australia.
Last week my work colleagues car was +70°c inside because it's black and he left it in the sun. It was only +39°c that day but a black car in the sun with the windows up can kill you very quickly. He had to leave the doors open for 5 minutes before he could move it into the shade. When he took the handbrake off the glue that held the cover on the handbrake had melted and it just slipped off in his hand.
I burnt my feet on the deck outside a few years ago. I took a temperature reading with a laser thermometer and it was over 70°c aswell. It was about 40°c that day to.
That's about 150°c hotter than touching something outside at your place. I'm sure if I put my hand on the ground at your place in winter it would die within seconds.
Wow... Thank you for introducing living in Yakutsia... You're all blessed as I can survive if I should live in Yakutsia🤭🤷♂️
For very cold regions in America and Canada, they recommend having an emergency kit in your car for during the winter as well. Things like energy bars, wool blankets, flares, etc, in case you break down out in the cold.
It only gets down to about - 30F ( -34 C ) where I live in the Northwest USA so plugging my truck in with a electrical cord is usually enough. A lot of trucks here in the colder parts of US have engine block heaters. Mine has a heater for engine, transmission, fuel tank, and oil sump. It doesn't draw much electricity and it gives all the woodland creatures somewhere to go if they get cold. Of Course this means I have to scare away all the bunnies and birds out from under my truck before I go anywhere but I dont mind if it keeps them warm until spring.
You can reduce fuel consumption on your car in winter.
Just install a pipe so the engine is sucking air very close to the exhaust manifold.
An insulated furnace small pipe going from the intake inlet to the exhaust manifold heat shield will help tremendously.
cold air is very dense and requires more fuel,warm air will require less fuel.
blocking the radiator airflow is a good idea already.
Old cars with carburetors had those features from factory,to improve cold weather economy and driveability.
The engine works better if the air is cold. That's why you have things like intercoolers on your car.
So preheating the air entering the car, would not be a god thing.
However, you don't want the engine block to get too cold. That's why they put insulation around the engine block.
The reason why they use more fuel in winter, is because they need to regularly heat the car during night, and also because a cold engine uses more fuel than a warm engine. But the air entering the engine, should preferably as as cold as possible.
I also assume they have electrically heated seats, and possibly also other electrically heated things in their cars. And of course that will also use more fuel.

Warm air will reduce fuel consumption in the absolute whatever you do,fuel quatity is delivered according air density and temperature.
The engine will also warm up quicker,wich reduces also consumption,so you can reduce running time to heat up the car.
You don't care if you don't make power by minus 50 °C temperatures,simply because you can't use power,and because air sucked in will be at negative temperatures or barely positive temps anyways,ambient air being that cold.
The better efficiency on engines is with around 40 °C air temps and fuel anyway.
Too cold makes efficiency drop, fuel ignition and combustion quality is reduced at colder temps.
I fly a plane where you adjust the fuel mixture manually. Cold air is much better for the engine, you get higher performance from it. So if you want the same performance and consumption as i warm air, you just lower the throttle. Mixture is also manually set there for optimal performance or fuel consumption.
The problem in winter is keeping the cylinders and oil at optimal tmperature, the engine is air cooled so you have to plug those air intakes for cooling the engine. It also has an electric pre-heater which you can leave plugged in to an electric outlet to keep the engine warm before you start it up.
So I would say cold air is good but cold engine is not.
In cars, who knows what the electronics is doing to fuel/air mixture and throttle these days.

Planes and cars are different :
On planes,fuel is octane 100 minimum,so you can run the engine very lean,and cold air will help to keep it at good operating temperature,the combustion being lean,so hot.
As you said,you adjust manually ,and as i know,you have a peak of lean mixture,where it's the most economical.
On cars,you have a 95 or 98 octane maximum,so you can't run a lean mixture without damaging the engine with an eventual pre ignition phenomenon wich occurs in this case.
Also ,depollution devices,as catalytic converters need a fluctuating lean to rich mixture to work efficiently and desintegrate soots and hydrogen oxydes.
It's a necessity,so running lean is impossible.
You can only reduce fuel used by using less dense air,wich is inevitably warmer.
Oil temperature is not a problem,they are very thin in nowadays cars,and particularly in Northern countries.
You can't intervene on the rest to save fuel, if it's to waste it in electricity by plugging in a block heater,mainly made for diesel engines requiring heat to start up easily.
Like i said,if you want to save fuel,use hot air from the exhaust manifold,the rest is wasting energy, as gas engines start well even in cold climates.
I admire the ingenuity of maintaining a car in those brutal winter months. I live in Georgia and the only preparations I make is a sun shade/visor to cover the windshield during the hot summer months. That's it!
We do more or less the same things in the northern parts of Sweden :-)
Sending love to Sami people of Sweden ❄️❣️
Survival by fighting against nature. I have a lot of love for the people here from Bangladesh.
My personal experience was around-40, very unusual Winter. The amount of problems turn up at that temperature is mind boggling. Diesel turns solid, rubber gets hard, even in car with heater going full blast the vent only blown cold Air. Car engine stayed cool. So those preps make a lot of sense to me. One more thing nobody can pay me enough to live in that place in winter
I remember watching a documentary (or something on discovery channel), oh probably decades ago, where they were starting fires under the fuel tanks of trucks in Alaska to keep the diesel from gelling. Seemed legit...
Wow! This is car winterization taken to a new level I had never seen. I mean car block heaters is what I thought was the max extreme, but this is something else. Great video.
Our winters here in Denmark are not worth mentioning. 😂 This winter i didn’t even bother with changing from summer- to wintertyres. As far as i remember we had like a week with temperatures below minus 10-15˚C and 3-4 cm of snow. Otherwise it’s just raining and miserable grey so instead we stayed at home - forced by weather, forced by Covid - and enjoyed the indoor with some good food.
We have to prepare our cars for the summer here! Tires and batteries wear out super fast in the summer here. Sometimes there is such a big shift in the lows and highs that I’ve seen tires look deflated in the morning and slight over inflated by the afternoon. I always take my car to get the AC and coolant system checked before the summer and make sure to carry LOTS of water in the trunk just in case. It’s also a good idea to have tinted windows and a sunscreen over the windshield when you park. I have had steering wheels and seatbelts burn me on hot days.
