00:00I'm Bear Grylls. I'm going to look for the most difficult and dangerous challenges on earth,
00:20where the skill of survival determines the difference between life and death.
00:26I have now come to Siberia, the coldest place on earth, where the temperature drops to 68 below zero.
00:37I will meet those who know what survival requires here, and I will learn some of their techniques.
00:43A dead pirate saves your life.
00:45Many travelers around the world drink fresh blood from their animals.
00:51And how do they get food?
00:53They eat things that can make you sick.
00:56And I have to find a way through the mountains of Sayan.
01:11I am now flying through southern Siberia.
01:13Five million square miles of barren desert.
01:17Its reputation is as bitter as its weather.
01:20This frozen landscape will be one of the most difficult challenges so far.
01:25If you stray in Siberia, your chances of survival are almost non-existent.
01:31There is almost nothing to eat, and it is one of the coldest places on earth.
01:36You will fall into the mountains of Sayan.
01:39It is a scary chain of steep snowy peaks.
01:43It stands between a meeting point and a meeting point.
01:46I will follow a few basic survival tools, and a team will come with me.
01:52The propeller is about six meters above the top of the mountain.
01:57The ice is at the bottom, and there will be soft snow under it.
02:03Okay, I'll get down.
02:10If you make a mistake in getting down from this height,
02:13your spine will break or fall.
02:18Your body must remain stable while falling.
02:31I can say that I have fallen.
02:35Oh God, look!
02:44It is the worst cold I have ever experienced.
02:47The cold is harsh and bitter.
02:49The temperature is 30 degrees below zero, and it consumes all my energy.
02:53But if I give up, I will die.
02:56That is why the harsh Russian winter defeats everything that opposes its way.
03:03The cold here is very hard.
03:06You know, you feel like it bites your skin,
03:11and your nose freezes.
03:14How can anyone live here?
03:22This is truly amazing.
03:24The air that is breathed is very cold.
03:27And with this cold, ice flakes form in the lungs,
03:31and the person starts to cough blood.
03:34Coughing blood is the cause of death.
03:38Siberia is one of the coldest places I have ever visited.
03:44The high altitude makes the temperature worse,
03:47and this wind is not very strong,
03:52but it enters everywhere,
03:55and my priority now is to go down to the valley.
04:01If you do not want to become a frozen body,
04:04you must move constantly.
04:06The frozen air descends into the valley,
04:09and thus the person is relieved of the cold wind.
04:12You can see the sun rising over the mountains,
04:16and it is reddish.
04:20And this means that in the middle of the North Pole,
04:23the weather will change, but to the worst.
04:26There is a saying that the red sky is a beautiful night for the shepherd,
04:31and the red sky in the morning is a warning to the shepherd.
04:35The reason is that the red color is the dust and dust
04:39that is trapped in the high pressure.
04:41In the morning, the high pressure may exceed you,
04:44and in the evening, the high pressure will come to you.
04:48Reading the sky shows you the danger of the weather,
04:51but there are other dangers on earth.
04:54A large part of the descent of the mountains
04:57is about positive behavior and confidence in doing so.
05:02A lot of accidents happen when people hesitate,
05:05and when they slip.
05:07One must control his descent,
05:09instead of leaving the mountain, he controls it.
05:13I left the mountain and entered the valley,
05:16but I have to cross the frozen rivers of Siberia.
05:19The duration of staying in this kind of conditions is very short.
05:31I am in Siberia, one of the most miserable and isolated places in the world.
05:36The temperature is less than 30 degrees below zero.
05:39It is the coldest place I have ever visited.
05:42You will face the challenges that Siberia will face,
05:47until you cross the limits of your strength.
05:51All these rivers in Siberia almost freeze in winter,
05:55but what you often find is water running under the ice,
06:00and if you are quiet, you can hear it.
06:03Therefore, crossing these rivers is very dangerous,
06:06because if you penetrate the ice and the water runs under you,
06:09you will never get out.
06:11But what I can use are these rocks covered with snow,
06:15because I can jump from one rock to another to cross.
06:21If you slip once on these rocks, you will get hurt,
06:25or you will penetrate the ice into the very cold water.
06:30In fact, this is like playing chess,
06:34where you have to plan your steps,
06:36and trust that you are jumping on the rocks, not the ice.
06:40Ah!
06:43Ah!
06:53I can hear the water.
06:56It's running under me.
07:05I got out of the ice.
07:07Let's follow our path.
07:10I love my way.
07:12A man forgets how much he sweated during his struggle in this cold.
07:16This raises the blood pressure, which increases the pain.
07:21Losing this amount of fluid causes you to dry out quickly.
07:25Suddenly, the body starts to stop working.
07:28The brain suffers, then the kidneys,
07:31before the heart finally stops.
07:34These are some of the few things I've seen that haven't frozen yet.
07:38It's clear that water resistance is enough
07:41to prevent it from freezing,
07:43which means I can drink it.
07:46And you really need to resist the ice,
07:49because it can burn your mouth,
07:51and you can get burns.
07:53So if you can eat, eat more.
07:56But don't drink a lot of water,
07:58because it will lower your body temperature quickly,
08:01and cause you to have a shock.
08:03In fact, it will cause you to sneeze,
08:05so either throw the ice near you,
08:07or bury it carefully in your bag,
08:09to prevent it from freezing.
08:11But the river means more than just water.
08:14Under the ice, plants have been buried that can help you.
08:22Look, these are all sphagnum ferns.
08:26If I remove it, you can see it.
08:30It's a clean herb, and it contains iodine.
08:34And the soldiers used it in wars,
08:37and they used to put it on the wounds.
08:40And the iodine helps to clean the wound and heal it well.
08:45There's a huge amount of it.
08:53Rivers flow in Siberia,
08:55and some of them cross more than 3,000 kilometers.
08:58In winter, rivers freeze,
09:00but this river flows fast,
09:02because there's a fast flow channel in the middle.
09:05It's better than jumping over it,
09:07and if I make a mistake and fall into it,
09:09I'll lose control and become a frozen reservoir.
09:13The distance around it is long,
09:15so I'll swim past it,
09:17and make sure to stay alive when you get to the other side.
09:21If you have to cross a fast river like this,
09:24and in these conditions,
09:26the most important thing is to dry your clothes.
09:29If you enter the other side,
09:31and you're wearing completely frozen clothes,
09:34you'll freeze around you quickly,
09:36and you'll die.
09:38So what I'm going to do is take off my clothes,
09:41put them in a bag,
09:43throw them into the river,
09:45and I'm going to swim to it.
09:49I can barely feel my toes.
09:52It's frozen now.
09:54It's green.
09:57And I know that feeling.
10:00I've already fallen on my feet on the mountains,
10:04and it's a very scary thing.
10:07What happens is that
10:09you lose the feeling of strength,
10:12and it's as if you don't want to do anything.
10:15But you have to warm it up well.
10:18If you have a friend with you,
10:20stick your toes under his coat,
10:22or his clothes,
10:24or anything else.
10:30Good.
10:32Come on, come on.
10:41Now my toes are starting to get dirty too.
10:45When you lose the feeling of your toes,
10:48you can't do anything.
10:50You can't lift your shoes,
10:52and you can't open your bags,
10:54and you can't light a fire.
10:56You have to keep moving
10:58and feeling your toes.
11:00It is the North Pole.
11:02I can see your hands,
11:04and the ice is covering your toes.
11:06Show it to the camera.
11:08Come on.
11:09Just keep moving your hands.
11:11Make that a system.
11:13Keep moving them.
11:15And we'll run.
11:17And in a few minutes,
11:19we'll feel like humans.
11:21Are you ready?
11:26Come on, let's go.
11:30I crossed the river,
11:32but I'm standing in front of the peaks
11:34of the Sayan Mountains.
11:38I have to climb many peaks,
11:40and I'm a Christian,
11:42so I have to do that regularly.
11:45These are the Russian mountains,
11:47capable of killing humans.
11:49Three students were killed
11:51in a snowfall this year.
11:54And the climbers
11:56lost their lives.
11:58I will never be able to walk
12:00in this place again.
12:03The road faces a 30-meter-long
12:05rock face.
12:07The mixture of rocks,
12:09snow, and ice
12:11will make it difficult to climb.
12:13This forest is very hard.
12:15You can see the snow
12:17and the rocks
12:19all the way to the top.
12:21It looks quite technical,
12:23so I'll use my ice axe
12:25to do this.
12:31The way to climb
12:33these rock faces
12:35is to plan your route carefully.
12:37The important thing
12:39in doing this
12:41is not to rush,
12:43and to make sure
12:45that you're on the right track.
12:49You can see the reason
12:51why I'm doing this.
12:53This is good.
12:55This is a good grip.
12:57If you make a mistake,
12:59it could be fatal.
13:05I've cut half the distance.
13:07I have a good grip.
13:09A lot of snow has accumulated,
13:11and this is a chance
13:13to take a break
13:15or try to get back
13:17to my toes.
13:21This part
13:23looks very steep.
13:39What I have to do here
13:41is to climb like this
13:43and lean on my back
13:45and push myself out.
13:51Slowly.
13:53And now, come on, come on.
13:55This is what you need.
13:57Do you understand?
13:59The last part is simple.
14:01Let's cross here.
14:03We're safe here.
14:05Come to me.
14:07Good.
14:09It was amazing.
14:11There was a slight weakness
14:13in the rocks,
14:15and we took advantage of it
14:17and climbed.
14:19I'm at the top,
14:21and I'm on my way.
14:23But I'm waiting for
14:25huge challenges.
14:27The depth of the snow
14:29is up to a meter,
14:31and I feel that my strength
14:33is completely exhausted.
14:35The snow has accumulated
14:37on the top of the mountain,
14:39and what happens is
14:41the wind lifts it from the top
14:43and then it rolls
14:45and rolls down
14:47to this snow,
14:49and it's very brittle.
14:51And trying to climb
14:53this is one of the most
14:55physically exhausting
14:57things you can do.
14:59And you have to do your best
15:01and try not to sweat
15:03too much,
15:05because if you sweat,
15:07your sweat freezes.
15:09And set goals
15:11that you can achieve.
15:13The next hurdle,
15:15the next hurdle.
15:19Surviving in Siberia
15:21will test a man's limits
15:23in endurance.
15:25And every time I struggle,
15:27I remind myself of a young German soldier
15:29who was captured by the Russians
15:31at the end of World War II.
15:33And despite his innocence,
15:35he was sentenced to 20 years
15:37of hard labor
15:39in a Siberian ammunition depot.
15:41And after a year of work,
15:43and after he was no longer
15:45in his strong body,
15:47he managed to escape.
15:51And this strong man
15:53spent three years
15:55in the brutal winter of Siberia,
15:57but he talked about the importance
15:59of setting goals
16:01and about the need
16:03for progression
16:05and achievement.
16:07He carried ten bullets
16:09in his hand,
16:11and every thousand steps
16:13he would move a bullet
16:15to the other hand,
16:17then another bullet
16:19after another thousand steps.
16:21And he did that
16:23until he came out
16:25of the hell on his feet.
16:27And every time I suffered
16:29from what happened to him
16:31night after night
16:33in freezing temperatures
16:35without a fire or a tent,
16:37it is the extent
16:39that the human soul
16:41can reach
16:43when its desire for freedom
16:45is strong enough.
16:47Survival depends on the strength
16:49of the mind as much as it depends
16:51on the strength of the body.
16:53It is being trapped in the fire inside you.
16:55Look!
16:57There is an old rope
16:59and the fishermen
17:01often put it here
17:03and used it as a rope,
17:05like a rope
17:07hanging down
17:09to transport their goods
17:11across the river in the summer
17:13when the river is full.
17:15It is impossible
17:17to resist the tide a little.
17:23I will use an old technique
17:25called the commandos
17:27to cross the river.
17:29But sometimes
17:31a man feels tired
17:33and loses his balance.
17:35And if that happens,
17:37you know how to get up again.
17:39You should raise your leg
17:41to the top,
17:43then cross the ladder,
17:45then the arm,
17:47and raise the leg,
17:49then lower the arm.
17:51This is called recovery.
17:53This is connected
17:55to good technique
17:57more than to blind strength.
18:05This is painful.
18:07It is supposed to be done
18:09on a thick rope,
18:11not on a thin,
18:13annoying rope.
18:17But this rope means
18:19that there are people
18:21on the other side of the river.
18:31All of this down here
18:33is a small typhoon colony.
18:35And these people
18:37are the masters of survival
18:39in temperatures below zero.
18:41And I may be able
18:43to know some of their secrets
18:45about how to survive here.
18:47I must get down
18:49from the cliff here.
18:51The distance is 40 meters.
18:53I can walk in a circle,
18:55but I will do it
18:57in a bear way.
18:59What I am using is
19:01the front abseil technique.
19:03It is one of the commandos techniques
19:05to build and test self-confidence
19:07because looking down is scary.
19:19It is scary,
19:21but it is fun.
19:23Next,
19:25the typhoon shows
19:27the skills of the Siberian survival.
19:29The typhoon said
19:31that they also eat
19:33the eyeball.
19:50Bear Grylls and the team
19:52receive support
19:54when they are in situations
19:56that threaten their lives.
19:58According to the rules of health
20:00and safety,
20:02sometimes some situations
20:04are presented to Bear
20:06to show the survival techniques
20:08on the line of life.
20:10You should always get
20:12advice from professionals
20:14before entering any dangerous environment.
20:16Hello.
20:19Ocha?
20:21And Bear.
20:23Hello, Bear.
20:25For thousands of years,
20:27the typhoon has tested their survival skills
20:29to dig for themselves here.
20:31Their homes are made
20:33of tamal trees
20:35and covered with gazelle skin
20:37or hay.
20:39With its fire in the middle,
20:41the shelter becomes
20:43one of the most dangerous
20:45weather conditions.
20:47This is their permanent home.
20:49They are not nomads,
20:51but they live here permanently.
20:53And this is Sirat.
20:55He is the eldest of the family.
20:57He is 84 years old
20:59and has nine children
21:01and many grandchildren.
21:03They all came from Genghis Khan,
21:05and we are close
21:07to the Mongolian borders.
21:09I think they will feed me something.
21:11I'm not sure
21:13what they have there.
21:17Sirat is a type of cattle
21:19made of boiled sheep's milk
21:21and blood.
21:23It may not look appetizing,
21:25but the typhoon uses
21:27every part of the food available to them.
21:29They believe that anything
21:31they throw away is valuable,
21:33and that angers the spirits.
21:35So they cook and eat
21:37all the grains, blood
21:39and milk.
21:41I would have looked at this
21:43if I hadn't seen how they prepare it here.
21:45That blood and the grains
21:47are boiled.
21:49Let's taste that.
22:01And it really is just
22:03contaminated blood
22:05and intestines.
22:07And its taste
22:09is very strong,
22:11salty and thick.
22:13But it is a good food
22:15for survival.
22:17It is rich in minerals
22:19and provides energy, minerals
22:21and vitamins.
22:23And even though
22:25you skip the first steps,
22:27its taste is not
22:29very bad.
22:31They are accusing it
22:33of being contaminated.
22:35Thank you, Sirat.
22:39The typhoon is watching the cattle
22:41and Sirat wants me to see
22:43the importance of the cattle
22:45for their survival in this barren land.
22:49They have tied one of the animals
22:51to the cattle,
22:53then they will slaughter it.
22:55And then I will see
22:57what I can get from the cattle
22:59and use it for survival.
23:01They don't kill the cattle
23:03much, but they do that
23:05in winter to get meat and fur.
23:07I may not like that,
23:09but it is a good food
23:11for these people
23:13and it is a necessary part of their survival.
23:15Because their life
23:17depends on the animals,
23:19the typhoon is a great respect
23:21for their animals.
23:23And they execute killing
23:25in the most humane way they know.
23:27You see all the blood
23:29coming out of the cattle.
23:31And this is really,
23:33in a barren land,
23:35considered food and also life.
23:39It is warm and salty.
23:49But if you come
23:51and encounter this,
23:53it will save your life.
24:01Fresh blood like this
24:03is rich in minerals
24:05and vitamins
24:07that a person needs
24:09to stay alive.
24:11Many nomads and tribes
24:13drink the fresh blood
24:15of their animals
24:17as a source of energy
24:19and food for survival.
24:23Thank you Sirat.
24:25Sirat left me
24:27to slaughter the cattle
24:29in the typhoon way.
24:31It is time to start
24:33with this.
24:35The cattle is one of the largest
24:37animals in this area.
24:39It is famous for its thick fur,
24:41which keeps it warm.
24:43But it can also be used
24:45in clothing or in captivity.
24:47Put your finger
24:49on the edge of the knife
24:51so as not to pierce the stuff
24:53and then pass it
24:55to the top of its stomach.
24:57I did not have to deal
24:59with the tip of the knife
25:01when I slaughtered a previous animal.
25:03If you touch this
25:05with an exposed finger,
25:07the skin will stick to it
25:09and it really becomes
25:11a race against time
25:13before this cattle
25:15freezes and I freeze.
25:17This cattle will freeze
25:19within 20 minutes
25:21and I feel that I will be
25:23exposed to the same fate.
25:25The temperature did not rise
25:27to four degrees below zero
25:29and every simple effort
25:31to feel my fingers
25:33really
25:35required me
25:37to hurry.
25:47This is the ugly side,
25:49but this is
25:51the warm side.
25:57This will
25:59represent a gap
26:01and now to remove its stuff.
26:03It is a tiring
26:05work, but it must not stop
26:07because the return deserves
26:09the effort.
26:11This is amazing.
26:13The fat has really
26:15decomposed
26:17and it has become like clay.
26:23I do not advise you to smell
26:25this smell
26:27even.
26:29I am looking for the richest
26:31protein in this cattle.
26:33My business is like the storm's
26:35because I want the liver
26:37because it is rich in nutrients.
26:39Well, this is what I want.
26:47Well,
26:49some of the liver
26:51contains a lot of good iron
26:53and the storm believes
26:55that this cleanses the blood
26:57and lowers cholesterol.
27:01I did not eat the liver
27:03raw and warm.
27:05I must eat something warm
27:25but
27:27it is really delicious
27:29and it is basically
27:31a delicious food
27:33but it is the food of survival
27:35in its best forms.
27:41I put a lot of effort
27:43to get to this.
27:45This contains a lot of good energy
27:47but it is
27:49not
27:51my appropriate food.
27:53Well,
27:55the last thing I want now
27:57is something that the storm eats
27:59a lot and it is the eye's eye.
28:03You can see
28:05the eye's eye
28:07coming out.
28:09Try not to eat fast
28:11because the eye
28:13provides more protein
28:15than a slice of grilled meat
28:17and in the battle of survival
28:19your stomachs must be strong
28:21so you look at it
28:23it looks like
28:25a huge ball
28:27you see
28:29the eye
28:31you see
28:33does it taste good?
29:01short or long answer?
29:03short
29:05disgusting
29:07like the explosion
29:09of a cold liquid
29:11of gas
29:13and
29:15brain
29:17and blood
29:19and I have had enough of this
29:21I feel cold
29:23and I want to rest
29:25I will walk now
29:27and I will
29:29I will walk now
29:31well
29:33the eye's eye means strength
29:35as the storm knows well
29:37I will now go to Sirat
29:39who will take me hunting
29:41before we go hunting
29:43Sirat has a good advice
29:45he will implement
29:47to keep the cold away from us
29:49and he has a bowl here
29:51with wild pork fat
29:53you coat your skin with animal fat
29:55an old-fashioned technique
29:57and it will protect you
29:59from some of the worst effects
30:01of the wind
30:03I don't know
30:05how long it took
30:07to kill this pig
30:11but I doubt
30:13that this smell
30:15will stay with me
30:17for a long time
30:19let's see if it will succeed
30:21and keep the cold away
30:23from my face
30:28the storm is coming
30:30and they are riding their horses
30:32but with a group of dogs
30:34and Sirat is looking for
30:36goats and rabbits
30:38and wild pigs and goats
30:40and they use the dogs
30:42to find them
30:45these people are experts
30:47in hunting
30:49and they know parts of this land well
30:51they are experts in hunting
30:53at a high level
30:55and they use energy
30:57to achieve the best results
30:59this is tracking
31:01and preparing the goats
31:07Sirat thinks
31:09that this is a good place
31:11to prepare some of his pigs
31:13he has seen traces of wild boar
31:15as he thinks
31:17and we will count them together
31:19wild boar is a type of boar
31:21and it is very similar to the American boar
31:23you can find a lot of good boars
31:25here in the Siberian forest
31:27and they are useful as food
31:29and a source of fodder
31:31Sirat says that this place
31:33is loved by the Samur
31:35because it is between the trees
31:37where it is warm
31:39and you can see this hole
31:41and the Samur may use it
31:43he has prepared this small iron trap
31:45at the bottom
31:47and as you can see
31:49he covers it with the leaves of the trees
31:51to hide our smell
31:53and also the trap
31:55the Samur is very careful
31:57Sirat has been doing this
31:59all his life
32:01since he was a little boy
32:03and I have not met many
32:05who know this environment
32:07and how to survive
32:09and live in it
32:11with the generosity of this man
32:13and for me
32:15spending time with him
32:17is an honor
32:19this is my life
32:21they hunt what gives them meat
32:23and food to live on
32:25the trap looks good now
32:27I almost noticed
32:29there is a trap there
32:31how does he do this
32:33without removing his gloves
32:35I do not know
32:37the temperature is very low
32:39I am wearing two thin gloves
32:41and I do not feel my fingers
32:43it is a whole life
32:45he is used to
32:47this harsh environment
32:49he has finished
32:51preparing the trap
32:53and I will come back tomorrow
32:55to see if he has caught anything
32:57well done
33:01the adaptation of the flood
33:03to stay here is amazing
33:05and the skills of living on the dry
33:07have been passed down from the fathers
33:09to the sons through the generations
33:11and Sirat has passed these skills
33:13to his sons and grandsons
33:15for a man in his eighties
33:17Sirat is a source of inspiration
33:19in my opinion
33:21this is amazing
33:23he went out to hunt
33:25and traveled long distances
33:27he is very satisfied and very peaceful
33:29he still enjoys
33:31an amazing luxury
33:33nothing is easy in these conditions
33:37the flood hunting teams
33:39can cover large areas here
33:41and to protect them at night
33:43they set up a shelter
33:45using anything they find around them
33:47here?
33:49in this place?
33:51I am not very confident
33:53of what he will do
33:55but I guess it is a test
33:57and I am excited
33:59to see what he will come up with
34:05the cold is harsh
34:07and the sun is strange
34:09I tested the cold before
34:11but this cold is different
34:13so I want to do it quickly
34:15to make a fire
34:19I tried the low temperature
34:21on Mount Everest
34:23but I started to suffer a lot
34:25in this cold
34:31it is starting to form
34:33and it seems to be exposed
34:35to the wind
34:41what they will do
34:43is to isolate it from the heat
34:45in these caves
34:47then put more
34:49of the roots
34:51of the trees on it
34:53but it seems
34:55that it is well isolated
34:57so let's continue
34:59the ground is covered
35:01to keep the body's temperature
35:03when it is exposed
35:05the flood uses a dry grass
35:07as a cover
35:09what a great idea
35:11with this dry grass
35:13which is 30 cm thick
35:15and this is a good insulation
35:17for the cold
35:19I will bring a big piece of wood
35:21to keep the fire burning all night
35:23great, thank you
35:25his family's cars
35:27will return to the yard
35:29and they will leave me to defend myself
35:31wow
35:37I don't remember a time
35:39when I felt more comfortable
35:41to have a fire
35:43my fingers are freezing
35:45and it hurts me
35:51I look at the night
35:53in this flood shelter
35:55it looks good
35:57and I hope to stay
35:59away from the cold
36:01in a good way there
36:03we will see in the morning
36:05one thing is certain
36:07these nights are long
36:09the sun goes down
36:11at four and a half after noon
36:13and does not rise again
36:15until eight
36:17and this is a long and hard time
36:19it will be one of the longest nights
36:21I have ever seen
36:23I feel that one of them
36:25trapped me in a freezer
36:27and I feel that the heat
36:29is leaking from my body
36:31in these situations
36:33people are asleep
36:35and never wake up
36:37I'm freezing
36:39I'm really freezing
36:41and I looked at the thermometer
36:43in the camera
36:45I take a look to know its reading
36:5134 degrees below zero
36:53and this turns into
36:55I can not bear
36:57to keep moving
36:59my toes
37:01and my hands
37:05to try to make it
37:07just move
37:09this is not fun
37:11not fun
37:15I have never seen the morning
37:17in this flood
37:19but I have to stay alive
37:2116 hours
37:23before I climb the mountains of Sayan
37:25to catch up with my appointment
37:27I have to reach the helicopter
37:29in five minutes
37:31and I do not want them to lose me
37:39I am in the mountains of Sayan
37:41in Siberia
37:43I show you how life is
37:45in this giant freezer
37:47I spent the night where the temperature
37:49dropped from 34 degrees below zero
37:51I have never seen the morning
37:53in this flood
37:55I will cut a certain distance
37:57before I meet my soul
37:59after 16 hours of darkness
38:01a very long night
38:03the morning came
38:05finally
38:07and I will leave this storm camp
38:09a hunter may use it one day
38:11we do not know
38:15after a freezing night
38:17I need to move and warm up
38:19but I have a problem
38:21no one will see me from the air
38:23in this valley
38:25in fact there is no chance
38:27to see me in this forest
38:29I have to reach
38:31a higher ground
38:33so I will try
38:35to reach the top of that gorge
38:37there
38:41walking in the deep snow
38:43drains all the energy
38:45snow may fall
38:47so we have to focus
38:51you notice
38:53the difficulty of walking
38:55through all this
38:57a few hundred meters
38:59and you need to rest
39:09it seems that there is a gap
39:11in the clouds there
39:13if I reach the top of the gorge
39:15and I climb the gorge
39:17I will be able to get to the windmill
39:21I will cross the valley
39:23and I will reach the peak
39:33one last push
39:35of energy
39:37a man must keep pushing himself
39:39as if he is reaching
39:41use the branches
39:43as much as you can
39:45and use these trees
39:47to pull yourself to the top
39:49it is a steep climb
39:51but I am trying to move forward
39:53it is getting tight
39:57you have to use your foot
39:59to stick it to the side
40:01and give yourself something
40:03to hold on to
40:05climbing on a straight line
40:07is harder and more dangerous
40:09music
40:21I have climbed
40:23I can see the top of the gorge
40:29this area is very empty
40:31and this is the shortest climb
40:33I can reach here
40:35and you should see
40:37the windmill
40:39the purpose of the signal fire
40:41is to get the smoke
40:43so that it becomes visible
40:45from a long distance
40:47the smoke also helps the planes
40:49to know the direction of the wind
40:51I want to save as much
40:53of this living wood
40:55to emit smoke
40:57the windmill must reach
40:59within five minutes
41:01and I don't want them to lose me
41:03music
41:08and now
41:10I hear the sound of the windmill
41:12here it is
41:14the smoke signal is visible
41:16the challenges in Siberia
41:18were very tough
41:20but it was an honor for me
41:22to meet the flood
41:24and learn from them
41:26what survival requires here
41:28determination and will
41:30they will make you cross
41:32the coldest place in the world
41:34and I was never going to miss that
41:36I did it!
