00:00Sundays for most of us are a day of rest, a time for simple pleasures like a hot shower,

00:14a cozy book and a quiet cup of tea. But here, beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia,

00:20Sundays have a different meaning. Valentina, a devoted wife, mother of six and grandmother,

00:26wakes up early ensuring that the fire is stocked and the family has a warm meal to start the day.

00:37The Stepanov family nomadic reindeer herders roam the Siberian wilderness year-round

00:43in conditions where survival is a daily challenge.

00:49As nature calls, Sayan, Valentina's grandson, quickly heads into the forest.

00:54Today for Sayan and his family is a day dedicated to showering and laundry,

00:59tasks that require the entire day.

01:04Sayan is 11 years old, spent most of his time helping his grandparents, eagerly learning the

01:09skills needed to become a reindeer herder. He loves his life in the wilderness and has no desire to

01:15return to town.

01:29As the day begins, Sayan and his older sister, Kira, enjoy a hearty breakfast. Fry pies,

01:36jam and hot tea with milk, slowly waking up and preparing for their busy day ahead.

01:52Vasily, Sayan's grandfather, is getting ready to head outside. Winter has not yet arrived and the

01:58coldest months with temperatures plunging below 60 degrees Celsius are still to come. The Stepanov's

02:05are among the last few nomadic families who brave the coldest place on earth, living in conditions

02:11where most of us could hardly imagine surviving.

02:23Soyan and his uncle make their way to the nearby lake to gather ice for drinking and showering.

02:38Without access to running water, they rely on the frozen lake, cutting blocks of ice to melt for their daily needs.

02:55Despite the freezing temperatures and the heavy labor, Sayan doesn't complain. In this land,

03:01children grow up quickly and their health is essential to the family's survival.

03:08Back at camp, Valentini is busy with household chores,

03:18stocking the fire to heat the tent and preparing water for the family's shower

03:23to make sure their temporary home stays warm and welcoming.

03:38As you might expect, taking a shower while roaming year-round

04:08around in the wild forest is a rare luxury. The Stepanov family not only need to gather water,

04:14but also build a temporary bathhouse. Traditionally, Arctic nomads build shelters from wooden poles

04:21and reindeer hides. But with the demands of wandering life, the Stepanov's now use canvas tents,

04:27faster and more practical. Inside the canvas tent, they place a heating stove, essential source of warmth.

04:34However, even with the stove, the bitter cold still creeps through the gaps.

04:40The Stepanov's will be living all the time.

04:43The 몸 of heaters will be encoded in building shelters from the Balakins.

04:46It's a very important place to put the power in the land of the forest in the land of the land of the forest.

04:47The second place is a great place to keep the water.

04:49The hands of the tree is only building a horrible family,

04:51and the boats are living there in the nest.

04:53Theменos are living by a lot of people who live there in the land of the forest.

04:55We are living here in the land of the forest.

04:58The ruins of the trees, as I was living there in the woods.

04:58The next step in preparing for a shower is gathering wood to heat the bathhouse.

05:24The Stepano family roams in the tundra land, one of the harshest environments on earth,

05:29a type of biome with tree growth limited by the extreme cold.

05:34For most of the year the tundra is a frozen landscape with few trees, long frigid winters and high winds.

05:54After several hours of heating the bathhouse, it's finally time for Sayan to shower.

06:01He grabs his small wash bowl and towel ready to wash off the week's work.

06:06Unfortunately, as the sun sets, the wind picks up, turning harsh and cold.

06:12This means Sayan will have to shower quickly in the chilly tent.

06:28Sayan feels the biting cold.

06:30In this harsh land, showering requires a lot of effort, from gathering ice to setting up a temporary bathhouse.

06:38Because of this, Sayan and his family shower only once a week.

06:42As soon as he's done, Sayan hires back to their tent, eager to escape the biting cold as the temperature drops.

06:58Now it's time for girls to do laundry while the bathhouse is still warm.

07:02Kira and Alina are washing cloths by hand for their whole family.

07:06They are learning the basis of becoming a woman in a herding and it's not an easy work, especially in these conditions.

07:14Growing up in the Arctic tundra, they master essential skills like gathering wood, water, cooking and cleaning.

07:22As Kira and Alina grow older, they will gradually take on more responsibilities, stepping into Valentina's role.

07:29But with education becoming more accessible, Kira and Alina are drawn to modern life.

07:35Kira wants to work in a nursery and Alina hopes to open her own shop or become a doctor.

07:41Valentina has spent over 40 years roaming the tundra with her husband Vasily, tending to their reindeer herds.

07:58Throughout these years, she balanced the demanding life of a nomadic herder while raising their six children on her own.

08:06From cooking and sewing clothes to keeping the family warm in the freezing colds, Valentina's days were always filled with endless tasks.

08:32Now, as the morning work settles, Valentina begins preparing lunch. Today she is making blood sausage from reindeer.

08:38The process is meticulous and she calls over Kira to help.

08:43With no grocery store for thousands of miles, the family relies on what they have.

08:52Mostly reindeer meat, fish, bread and wild berries for a dessert.

08:57After Home & Ocean Wing

09:12This is utilizgy tailuis.

09:16But do you really need a challenge.

09:20Yes, surprisingly, so the next y examining is needed.

09:22If you still have a fish, jouer is Ăano, you will eat around there

09:26Growing up in a reindeer herding family is a unique and challenging experience for children

09:47like Sayan and Kira.

09:49From a young age they learn essential survival skills, their childhood is filled with adventure

09:54but also hard work.

09:57Despite this, Sayan and Kira love spending their time with their grandparents living in the

10:02wilderness with a deep sense of freedom and happiness, far away from the noise and stress

10:08of the urban life.

10:20After a big lunch, the men quickly return to their afternoon chores, guiding the reindeer

10:25back to the tent before nightfall to protect them from wolves and ensure their safety.

10:45While the men tend to their herds, the women visit themselves in the afternoon with sewing

10:50clothes from reindeer hides.

10:52The men裡 is still around the food, the people who 들어가�ятся in the near of the

10:58school and their children and their children.

11:01Their children are still alive and in their children and their children.

11:02It is a bit like a body and the men come to their children and their children,

11:05their children come to their children.

11:05They learn to their children with little eyes and their children.

11:08Their children come to their children and their children.

11:10I love you, I love you.

11:40In the morning falls, the Stepanov family busies themselves with dinner preparation.

11:45While Valentina and Vasily bake bread, a daily staple of their diet, the children enjoy a

11:50rare moment of relaxation.

11:56When dinner is ready, the family comes together for a simple but hearty meal, reindeer meat

12:01and freshly baked bread.

12:04This is a typical Sunday for nomads in the Arctic.

12:07Their days are busy and only the evenings offer time to rest.

12:12Yet, the Stepanov family loves their life in the wilderness, finding joy in the quiet rhythm

12:18of nature and the raw beauty of the tundra.

12:37The Stepanov family save us every day.

12:39It's better for you all in the past because the day the day the day the day the day the
