Most small villages or partially abandoned towns lack police, so it is unwise to appear rich. Drunken people are more common in winter, and can occasionally be bothersome. Bears and other wildlife enjoy a fearsome reputation but very few actual recorded fatalities. Bears in Russia are less accustomed to people than in North America, have ample food resources in the wild, and are very frightened of people due to incessant hunting.

Harsh outside, warm inside: One old lady at the side of the road, in the middle of nowhere, waves us down enthusiastically. She just wants to wish us a good journey and congratulate us for having adventured this far. People talk fishing and hunting.

Yakutia, also known as the Sakha Republic, is a region six times the size of France with only a million inhabitants.

Until the s, the region was mostly occupied by the Yakuts, who survived on hunting, fishing and rearing reindeer, horses and cows. Then the Russians arrived in search of coal, gold and diamonds. Here, shamanism and animism are alive and well. These days only a section is still in use, up to the village of Tomtor, after which it becomes unusable. En route, in Oymakon, we meet Tamara, who has been battling all her life for her village — where, in the winter of , a record low temperature of Oymakon in a slightly elevated valley, far from the sea. The mountains that surround it maintain the cold, which descends on the village and stays there.

Tamara can keep her frozen horse meat inside her house for most of the year. Life is hard in Tomtor. People here get by on raising reindeer and small Yakut horses for meat as well as for hunting, fishing and gathering.

By the time products have been transported here they cost two or three times as much as in Moscow. Wood and coal are the other great expenses. To compensate for the lack of running water, you have to seek out a spring, which never freezes; alternatively, one can, in autumn, cut great blocks of ice from the river, which are then stored outside and brought into the house every time that water is needed.

This year, the reindeer herds wandered north far from the village, fleeing the packs. But in the fields you can still see groups of Yakut horses, a robust species living at liberty wild in the taiga. They can sniff out grass under a thick bed of snow. Their hoofprints are everywhere at the side of the road. Hitched or mounted, they are also reared for their meat, milk and hide.

People here vouch for their anti-freeze properties, which they say match those of the tradition Russian fur boot, or valenki. Kolyma federal highway also known as the Road of Bones.

Ridicule is always welcome. I have my doubts. She's not equipped for being out on that road, period. You'd need a back pack for supplies minimum because it can be many days walk between villages. You can sleep in a long coat but you need a means to make a shelter. Maybe someone very close to her is buried under that road. The period of time caused unspeakable grief.
