This movie had alot of cool bushcraft skills being used in daily life. It is very neat to see how the traditional skills being used have a slightly different twist in the Russian culture. Some of the highlights where the type of deadfall trap they build to catch sable which is like a pine martin, the ski/snowshoe they build, the type of dugout canoe they build, using birch tar as a insect repellent..etc...I have watched it several times and would like to pass it on to those of you who are interested...here is a trailer
