Beyond Civilization. A Day with a Self-Sufficient Family in the Remote Wilderness

Video Description

🌄 Welcome to Richka village in Prykarpattia! Join the Halia family as they showcase the authentic life in a mountain village. Today's activities begin with haymaking for the upcoming winter, a crucial task that the whole family partakes in. Despite the windy weather, they see it as a blessing, helping the hay dry faster. Once the hay is turned, the family returns home for other chores. Marichka eagerly opens a long-awaited package containing a new paint-by-numbers kit, a favorite hobby that helps her create masterpieces during her school holidays. Meanwhile, Halia tidies up the barn and other outbuildings, preparing firewood for lunch and attending to various household tasks. As the day progresses, Marichka surprises her mother with new traditional Kosiv ceramics, a beautiful addition to their kitchen. They take a break to enjoy tea and biscuits outside, surrounded by breathtaking scenery that seems to make time stand still. With the peach season in full swing, Marichka carefully washes the fruits, setting them out as a summer treat. Halia and Marichka then start canning compotes, a family tradition to prepare for the winter months. Using the fresh fruits and boiling sugar water, they ensure the compotes will last all year. The day is filled with productive activities, from milking cows and collecting herbs for tea to baking a delicious oatmeal-fruit pie. The family balances hard work with moments of relaxation, embodying the serene and self-sufficient lifestyle of a mountain village. 🏞️
