This is THE journey @timothyallen, I felt cold just looking at the pictures. The third one is just astonishing and scary at the same time.
It's also awesome to see how they use simple materials on their clothing, no sintetic, no goretex.
Have the gear survided such harsh conditions?
Apart from one gimbal on a drone getting smashed, everything else came back to life in the warmth. We did have a hell of a lot of out-of-focus footage though. Batteries were lasting minimal amounts of time.... eg. the iPad mini that we used with the drones would last about 50 seconds from full charge at minus 44 even with a hot water bottle strapped to the back of it!
Wow, guess that Siberia just doesn't like people recording its beauties haha
But still, I'd do such a journey if I had a chance, we may learn to value things a lot more once we come back to the comfortable zones.
