Every Spring, the arrival of the icy mists of Lake Baikal signal the start of a dangerous voyage. The men of Kholodnaia begin their treacherous journey to carry supplies to the reindeer breeders in the high Siberian plateaus. For the past six months, the plateaus have been completely cut off from the rest of the world. Even in the Spring, conditions and terrain are icy and dangerous. The trip to deliver supplies will take over two weeks - it's a distance of 65 km. Which on the highway, takes 45-60 mins. Wow. I mean, just wow. What an adventure. We take the trip with Dimiti and his pal Sergei: Dimitri is the only driver from the village of Kholodnaia with the skills needed to drive the truck. During the journey, there are bears to dodge, crumbling bridges to navigate and glaciers to traverse. Sometimes the several feet deep snow covered roads have to be laid out with pine needle branches, trees which have to be felled first - along a stretch of 3 miles. That alone takes 1-2 days of work before the journey can be continued. Outside temps: -20 and if anything goes wrong, there's no AAA or similar rescue service to call. They're on their own.

@@SnyderBearFarm so what, they say so in the description, FD is not the camera crew. They get the license for documentaries that have already been aired so that we all can enjoy them for free here.
Can we just give extra props to the camera crew? They're as much, or even more insane than the truckers. Love this show and this narrator, they're awesome!
The narrator of these Docs is very good, and that makes a big difference when you're watching an hour long video....He really gets across the tone and mood of the people...makes an hour fly by...I really enjoy all of his documentaries...
I do like the narrator, he is totally engaged with the film. Along with the superb camera work, they are a really quality production team. Thank you for all your documentaries, they're so insightful.
I must say, Free Documentary is easily one of the best channel on UA-cam. The content brought to us is so inspiring and educational; invaluable for someone like me who treasures documentary like these. Keep up the good work, thank you. May the Almighty continue guide and protect the filming crew and all the people you feature.
The finest documentary channel way best than national geographic and discovery. Narrator's voice is the key that's making me to watch these documentaries.
big vehicles always win. If you drive a mining truck or a tank you can probably reach there in less than 2 hours. But prepare to spend 8X or 10X money more than the truck.
This guys are presenting their life more realistically than Bear Grylls Man vs wild show....kudos to the cameraman who walk ten kilometers with that brave heart Siberian in-between horrific noises of wolf.
I worked here and Noth of Baikal I went in mid Winter it was and is such a wonderful but harsh place. The people are magnificent and so welcoming ...but as you see a bit crazy excellent programme thank you
How did you set that all up? I am a US citizen but have this desire to go to Russia. I want to get some people together to do tours of Russian and Soviet history. Please message me Jim.
1 Ton is the payload of the truck not the actual weight of the truck it is how much the truck is rated to carry. They call it a 1 ton Truck but I am pretty sure this truck can carry way more than 1 Ton this can carry somewhere around 3 tons easy.
Yura (the driver co-pilot) face is unique. He has that ancient look on him. I like this kind of documentary. I always wonder how people live in remote places. They have their own way to survive.
“The bear paws are really delicious” 😂. I Love this! different countries different cultures as long as there’s love and peace it’s good by me. What an adventure.
Kia ora - (hello) from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🇳🇿 What a amazing place that Siberia...-10 to minus 60 in minute's .. Certainly the deadliest road i ever seen and the guy walking 10 klms in 20 below...I loved that truck alright, ..going to watch it again lol Godbless Kia Kaha Strength to you
I just got tired of watching Them struggling . Hats off to These strong hearted mans surviving in this harsh weather where no one will even dare to imagine it
one of the areas of the world which always held fascination to me even as a 5 year old.(i saw it on TV). always wanted to visit. maybe one day i will. loads of love, from punjab.
@@bluemoondiadochi the cost, a mitsubishi hino cost around 25k usd here and they built a factory here so no shipping cost, easy maintenance and aftersales services. A kamaz or ural would cost 30k then you add the import cost, tax and everything else. After all those things you need to import any spareparts you needed for maintenance. Its a beast for sure but a bit costly for SEA atm.
@@davidtogi5878 i just said its the best truck we've seen so far on deadliest roads. and this i stand behind. i didnt say anything in this comment about importation or price comparisons. sure, Hino might be available "here" (weherever you might be) and it likely has a more economical diesel engine BUT it's not available, say, in Cameroun, or in Guayana, or in dozens of other countries with horrible roads. so you have to import them and this applies equally for soviet trucks. you mentioned new trucks. i dont think a lot of people in africa buy new trucks. they buy used ones. and in case of russian trucks, you can tap into a large pool of relatively cheap used soviet trucks all across euroasia. something you cant do with japanese trucks in same numbers.
@@bluemoondiadochi you mentioned south east asia (SEA) so as a person from that region i share my thought of why russian trucks are not used around here. Idk about africa but here in SEA japanese trucks are the kings of the roads. Yes those price are for new vehicles but even used one are widely available and cheap.
Although most of us admire & praise the photographers who had spent night & days w/ them to get those momentous footages in the face of some adverse conditions, not too many of us comment on a script writer & rarely if any on a narrator who delivers it so effectively that he seems to enhance a wealth of intrigue, thrill, & excitement. The way he narrates w/ that a rather low-pitched & dignified confident tone of voice is perfectly suited for this sort of documentary, or it might be too boring to watch!?,,,,,I wonder if anyone else feels the same,,,,,,Many thanks, soundly enjoyed & appreciated it to the core,,,,,from California,,,,,(06/17/23)

I love the narrator. Every time he translates he sounds both serious and cartoonish. A feet unbeknownst to many.
@John Connor quit yanking your doodle and start saving us from the robots john!!
Kinda reminds me of Tomas the Railroad show from back in the day lol
It's an acquired skill. 😁
I just told my friend about this series and said, " the real gem is not the topics of the documentary, its the narrator"

Did you ever drive fancy SUV?
if snowrunner tells me one thing is that you just need a big truck, and enough gasoline to power new york for a year.
Nothing beats a ural truck
This guys are presenting their life more realistically than Bear Grylls Man vs wild show....kudos to the cameraman who walk ten kilometers with that brave heart Siberian in-between horrific noises of wolf.
The wolves' howl was just added in post.
wolves are great and not a violent animal like bollywood portrays them
@@wildernessandme1744 Are you just guessing that? You don’t think they’re wolves in that area???
Can't get enough of this channel
Who else would prefer a truck like this over a shiny sports car
I'll take one
Ural 375D 💪💪
I was thinking the same...it reminded me of the 2 1/2 ton used in the military. They could withstand some beating...
@@LuandaWaterFront1990 If he had some chains things might be a bit easier!!!

FOR HIGH QUALITY DOCUMENTARY
.
Netflix: Gimme your money 💰
Free Documentary: It's free real estate, Biatch !
Honestly, I hate Netflix documentary style. It's all about interviews with useless closeup. 😩😩😩
Thank you FD that was a heart -warming documentary
6:00 I'm pretty damn sure that trucks weighs way more then one ton.
I think what they were saying was, its dangerous for even a 1 ton truck, let alone that beast.
And actually about 30cm is enough for a 1 ton truck, not 80cm.
Ok gents if 30cm of ice will carry 1 tonne, that URAL will gross at about 15.5 t. so as she sits there , about 11 t
2 1/2?
1 Ton is the payload of the truck not the actual weight of the truck it is how much the truck is rated to carry. They call it a 1 ton Truck but I am pretty sure this truck can carry way more than 1 Ton this can carry somewhere around 3 tons easy.
Props to the guy that walked 10kms in 5hrs, that's a true hero. 🙌🏾💪🏾
I use to walk 5 miles a day. It would take me just under 2 hours. But 6 miles in 5 hours in a meter of snow and -20 is an incredible task.
I am so so addicted to this channel .
Mind blowing videos always.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Same here
Yura (the driver co-pilot) face is unique. He has that ancient look on him. I like this kind of documentary. I always wonder how people live in remote places. They have their own way to survive.
THere are so any ethnicities to be found through out Siberia. Millennia of people’s using the corridors through to central Asia
mmm, Baikal, trucks what could be better? Thanks for the great video!
I've seen this guy's drive another route in another documentary I think. Amazing job these guys deliver!
Quite literally

Where the makers of the game Spin Tires got their inspiration. This truck is a beast offroad more badass than the unimog
