Title: For 40 Years, This Russian Family Was Cut Off From All Human Contact
Post by: majormark on February 12, 2013, 07:09:21 am

I was fascinated by the survival story of these people in the wilds of Siberia.

Especially this: "Dmitry built up astonishing endurance, and could hunt barefoot in winter, sometimes returning to the hut after several days, having slept in the open in 40 degrees of frost, a young elk across his shoulders."

Imagine what is possible on a raw diet.

There is an aspect of compromise (regarding diet as well), but I'll let you read about it.

This is a documentary (if you understand the language).

That's crazy but awesome. Surprised they didn't automatically turn to hunting, instead waiting until the son was old enough.
