<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter reaching Yakutsk via Moscow, it turned out that the Polish minus 20 was a warm breath of spring compared to the Yakutsk weather. \u2014 Temperatures reached -35, -40 degrees. But Yakutian children do not go to school until the temperature drops below -50 \u2014 said Suchowierski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Yakutsk, the traveler got to Chersky \u2014 this is where the lonely journey along the bed of the frozen Kolyma was to begin. He was still hoping that the airport in Yakutsk would receive information about a late shipment of food. Finally he decided he couldn’t wait any longer. \u2014 With the last money I had, I bought food, unfortunately \u2014 they were no longer specialized products. But I didn’t want to delay the march any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The locals warned that Krzysztof had inappropriate, too narrow skis. They said that the stove brought from Poland would not be practical. \u2014 Before the trip, my travelling friends said that my heavy tent would not work, that one with a tunnel structure would be better. But I had my vision and I stuck to it \u2014 Suchowierski honestly admitted. \u2014 Maybe I’ve watched too many survival films? \u2014 he joked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over time, it turned out that the advisors were right. The tent caught fire from the stove and the structure almost collapsed, and when you walk and camp in the middle of a 2.5-mile riverbed, going out into the woods for wood becomes a challenge. The traveler said goodbye to the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skis proved themselves as long as you could follow the trail made by snowmobiles. On the other hand, the sleeping bag, offering comfort down to -60 degrees, caught moisture from the body. \u2018I was shivering all night\u2019 \u2014 said the traveler. \u2014 But the mornings were the worst. You need strong will and endurance to unzip your sleeping bag and get out of it to prepare breakfast at -40 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you ever bivouac in Siberia, remember to put your shoes under your sleeping mat at night. \u2014 Leather shoes become stiff and you have to work on them for quite a long time before you can put them on \u2014 explained Suchowierski. \u2014 Anyway, it’s better to use reindeer skin instead of a sleeping mat. It gives pleasant warmth \u2014 he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 I was learning all the time \u2014 said the wanderer. \u2014 Then people told me, for example, that you should go in the middle of the river because the wind blows the snow from there to the banks. The reindeer herders showed me their skis, very wide ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 With all my strength I reached the Kolyma Lowland \u2014 he admitted. \u2018An American has come!\u2019, one of the inhabitants of this small settlement called out when she saw him. One of the hunters warned the people of the Kolyma Lowlandthat a hiker pulling a sled with his belongings was coming towards them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
