I love watching snow and survivalists and cold apocalypses... on a screen. No desire for in-person experience unless I can be rich and warm indoors writing a book with the world forgotten. I grew up in Durban so we never even had frost. Got stuck on a mountain once, just inside Lesotho. Great experience that taught me "Fuck snow."
As said, love it on a screen. So I waited for a cold day, meaning 12 degrees celsius, and tried to watch that documentary in a 'sympathy' mood. Great kudos to stronger men of yesterday!
Did you watch 'TraumaZone', the docuseries about the fall of communism? If I recall, you commented there. My favourite documentary of the past year. I got lost in that cold, of Winter and corruption.
Yeah I watched much of it felt horrible for all those people. Fall of the empire anyone!? All I can only hope we have a safe landing, somewhere. It's a lot of God darn work burning wood for heat 5> months a year but it keeps me active and there's cabin fever . We snowmobile during these times in and out as there no open roads off the grid. I got a place in Florida's panhandle Beach community I'll go part of the times. Playing in the snow is a younger man game anymore and yes it's fucked.
This post is perfect timing. Perhaps I better fall and buck that extra dead standing ponderosa as NE Washington winters can be very harsh.

Two good documentaries to find are 'My Perestroika' (2010) and 'Something Better to Come' (Russia 2014).
