Tracking the White Reindeer

[BOD]

Turned on the telly and this French film was on.

The blurb on this link is silly nonsense about a love story (probably to appeal to the arty crowd) but the film is really about bushcraft in the taiga.

The photography is excellent but if you are keen to find out how to make skis, kitchen rigs or lasso reindeer then this is for you.

These guys make the Sami look like American ranchers.

Just love the way the father lets the son head off into some scary wilderness even when everyone thinks that he will not succeed.

Best of all there is no silly presenter trying to insert himself into the frame

Thanks I'll have a look at it tonight with her in doors, she like the idea of men going off on impossible tasks for the love of a women.

although in my case Tesco's is not as romantic, but just as impossible
