Hi, I'm Nikolai. I'm sixty-eight. I grew up where the nearest store was forty miles away and closed half the year. We had a cellar, a barrel and a stove, and that was the whole system. Nobody lives like that anymore. On this channel I show how it was done — the ordinary skills people used every winter before refrigerators, supermarkets and electricity made them unnecessary. Here you'll find videos about root cellars, winter food storage, food preservation without refrigeration, canning, fermenting, salting meat, cold smoking, drying mushrooms and berries, wood stoves, firewood, keeping a house warm without heating, off-grid living, homesteading, and the old survival skills of the north. Subscribe if you want the old ways back.
