We have watched the winter video last night. We see they use almost the same method to hunt the fish below the ice as we do = and some of the same fish i think.
They carry the same knife & axe as we do in winter also and make tools from steel when needed. They also make nice footwear for around the camp or hunting cabin. And their dogs eat fish too!
Their traps are almost same as our old traps and cost nothing to make and kill quick
But we don't use skis like him but our long tail snow shoes and of course no horses up here. We also avoid areas with big old trees because it is dangerous to camp or build house under them - as he found out.
I thought his comments about we are all involved anyhows in hunting. We hunt for fur less than they do, but sell the fur to make coats and from the sable come the best paint brushes I believe. All of which are sold to people from far away to wear. And the folk who complain about killing and eating wild animals probably don't mind eating cows - which of course means that you have to displace or remove whatever animals was there before. But I don't want to spoil the nice film and we are glad Tony posted it so we could enjoy and share it.
The taiga in russia is just like our forest also and deep in snow now. Like theirs is -
One difference we all noticed was they drank milk, Something most of us older people never drink as we see it as something only for babies. Oh, and their dogs live in little house. Our dogs always live outside.
We are back in our village now and if I have time we might watch another video if we or I have time in community centre. Thank you.
Enju!
