00:00The Siberian forest is a harsh and unforgiving place where only the hardest of individuals can thrive.
00:12Samuel is one such person, the only resident for miles around for the past 20 years.
00:19As morning breaks, Samuel stirs from his sleep, slowly rising and beginning to prepare himself for whatever the wilderness may bring.
00:28To start his day, he washes his face with ice-cold water that he collected from a nearby lake.
00:37Another crucial aspect of morning routine is to tend to the wood burning stove and keep the fire going to ensure that the temperature remains consistent throughout the day.
00:58It's the beginning of April, the long-awaited spring has finally arrived.
01:03The winter's icy grip is slowly loosening and the forest is starting to come to life once again.
01:13The temperature has begun to rise, with the biting cold of minus 60 degrees Celsius is slowly being replaced by a relatively balmy minus 10 degrees.
01:23This change is a welcome relief for Samuel, who has weathered the extreme cold alone in the wild forest.
01:30On his feet in the middle, there was a little bit of fire.
01:33Where the Property of Fire was in the middle of the forest.
01:34He was on his feet, with his feet and with his feet and with his feet.
01:36When he was out in the middle of the forest, he was here to go, you know, trees, with the forest.
01:39I used to use my hand, and I used to use my hand and my hand.
01:48I used to use my hand and my hand.
02:09As the temperature starts to rise and spring fills the air, Samuel takes advantage of the
02:16favorable weather to create a significant number of brooms.
02:23To make money for food, Samuel uses his skills to create brooms from branches in the forest.
02:29He walks for 5 hours to reach the nearest village where he sells the brooms for 3 dollar
02:34each.
02:41Samuel faced a difficult past as he lost his family at a young age and worked at a farm that
02:46eventually closed down, leaving him without a job.
02:50With determination to survive, he moved to the forest and used his skills to make a living.
02:55However, life in the forest was unforgiving and Samuel faced harsh living conditions.
03:02His small wooden house lacked proper windows and he had to use cellophane instead.
03:10When we heard about Samuel's situation, we could not ignore it and decided to take action.
03:16We decided to surprise him by bringing new windows, food and supplies to help him live in more
03:21comfortable conditions.
03:23Thanks to Nikolay, Lazar and our cameraman, Radomir, for organizing and bringing essential
03:29supplies to help Samuel.
03:30Say, please, let's stay somewhere.
03:40Good day, I have a good day.
03:44Do you see?
03:48I say, I looked for you.
03:57Oh, I'm ready.
03:59Oh, I'm ready to go!
04:01Oh, okay.
04:03Oh, okay.
04:05Oh, okay.
04:07Oh, okay.
04:19Oh, okay.
04:21Oh, okay.
04:23I am not doing two.
04:27Of course, this pretty much.
04:31Here, there is a lot of the fish.
04:36For now, I have to take a deep breath of water from the water.
04:39I have to go to a deep breath.
04:45There's a lot of it, but I have to go.
04:47Right, yes.
04:48I have to go to a deep breath of water.
04:50Yes, yes, yes.
04:53This is how it works.
04:55I don't know how much it is.
04:57I'm going to put it in my hand.
04:59I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:01I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:17As Nikolai and Lazar diligently work on installing the new windows,
05:21Samuel eagerly heads out in the forest
05:23to check the traps he had set earlier for hares.
05:27Living in the wild, Samuel depends on his trapping skills
05:30to obtain meat for his meals,
05:32and tonight he plans to share his catch with our team.
05:36Oh!
05:37I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:39I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:41I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:43I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:45I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:47I'm going to put it in my hand.
05:50Here we go.
05:51There is a hole in my hand.
05:53Tomorrow the middle is near the middle
05:55yep
05:56this one is freezing to the middle.
05:58T JDN
06:01Now here I've got my hands.
06:04There's a paper in my hand.
06:05Something like literally.
06:06There is no one of my hand.
06:09We are going to get a little bit of water.
06:16We are going to get a little bit of water.
06:19We are going to get a little bit of water.
06:26After successfully installing the new windows, the guys decided to help Samuel gather firewood
06:44and prepare some stock.
06:46With his new chainsaw, Samuel is able to obtain firewood faster with greater ease.
06:56After a long and exciting day, Samuel is ready to wind down and indulge his specialty of the
07:21house – Yakutian bread.
07:23This traditional bread originating from Yakutia is a staple in Samuel's diet and a source
07:28of comfort for him in the wild.
07:31He expertly mixes the flour, water, yeast, and salt, kneading the dough until it's just
07:37fried.
07:38Yes.
07:39Yes.
07:40Yes.
07:41Yes.
07:42Yes.
07:43It's a hard time for me to get out of here.
