Such a pure lifestyle. These people would wonder why you had a house lots of different rooms in it. They would probably think it was a place for multiple families! It would be hell stepping back to living that way however I would strongly recommend to them that they never change their way of life, Don’t be led of course by modern trinkets!

I have seen this video before on this channel, and I think it has been uploaded again.
Anyways I like this type of real life documentaries. No matter how many times I watch it, I don't ever get bored.

It leaves me an impression that It must have been truly difficult & painful for the man & boy to let that eagle go at the end, but how thoughtful & humane of them to do so!,,,,Savored every single moment of this unique, incredible film to the core right from the opulent comfort of my cozy dwelling.,,,,(12/06/25)

Wow,
That ending was something I really didn’t expect.

The electronicization of today's society has caused our younger generation to forget all the skills of our ancestors in the hunting and farming era. Our current skill is how to use mobile phones and computers perfectly. If one day mobile phones and computers cannot be used for various reasons, then this generation of young people are waiting to starve to death? Traditional culture and life should be preserved and young people like Pol should pass them on.

This is an amazing cultural tradition among the Kazakh people in Western Mongolia. I am so happy to see that the Kazakh people in Mongolia kept their tradition alive unlike in the neighboring Kazakhstan where this tradition has been almost lost. I now know that the Kazakhstani government and Kazakh people in Kazakhstan are trying to revive this culture of eagle hunting. But it is hard. Good luck to them!

I couldn’t see the interpretation of what they were talking about. 42:49 this is worth not seeing what they are saying. The majestic beauty of this gathering of them with their warrior 🦅
