The essence of man is to work freely. 1. Choose wood to make skis. The purchased skis can’t lift your feet after 15 kilometers, but the homemade skis can be carefree and smooth (two ultra-thin and elastic thin boards are tied to the shoes with hemp rope) Mom Egg suddenly felt that ski boots are so stupid 4. Hunter and dog loyal companion The hunter tells a touching story of his dog being torn apart by a bear The rules of freedom are so happy 6. The hunter's philosophy is simple and profound. Can a captive city person imagine and envy the happiness of the revenant? I've always wondered if my longing for pastoral songs is an illusion. If natural labor is the happiest, why would rural people want to go to the city? It shows that mobile phones are still more fun than farming, and farming is still hard. Hunter said that a dog will be permanently incapacitated after 6 months of being locked up, and that the cubicle is heaven and earth after sitting in the office for a long time. In the final analysis, no matter what you do, you can endure hardship to be worthy of freedom.

Happy People: A Year in the Taiga quotes

  • [first lines]

    Himself - Narrator: This is the village of Bakhtia In Siberia. Although it looks like winter to us, it's already spring here. The village is located In the heart of Siberia, and we should keep in mind that this colossal landmass is one and a half times the size of the United States. The endless wilderness that surrounds this place is known as the taiga. No roads or train lines traverse it. There are only two ways to reach this outpost - one is by helicopter, the other by boat. The expanse in the foreground is not solid ground but the frozen-over Yenisey River, one of the largest waterways in Siberia. It's only during the few Ice-free months of summer that boats can also reach Bakhtia.

    Himself - Narrator: Of the 300 or so inhabitants of this village, a handful of them make their livelihood as professional trappers. One of these men is Gennady Solovyev. Here he makes his way into the wilderness across an enormous frozen river. He wants to show us an essential tool of his profession.

    Gennady Soloviev: [demonstrating] An animal would approach and begin twisting the bait. The pressure is very light, I'll keep my hand in it. Let me show you. See how light it is.

    [the top collapses]

    Gennady Soloviev: There you go. The animal is trapped. This is how I disarm the trap.

    [lifting the top back up]

    Gennady Soloviev: I take away the bait. I remove the wooden linchpin so squirrels or mice don't steal them. I put everything under the roof, and that's it.

  • Gennady Soloviev: [cutting wood for his skis] Of course, a good craftsman will make good skis using good wood. Getting around in these is sheer pleasure. You might have factory-made ones. If you and go into the Woods, you'll drop dead from fatigue after 15 kilometers. You won't be able to move a leg.
