It is really interesting seeing the different cultures and practices around the world.
This father taking his children to school is really interesting. It goes to show that most of what we believe in, experience, and how we assess what we consider to be trials and tribulations are relative and in comparison to what we expect and are accustomed to.

Can you even imagine people around here walking for 4 days in order to get their children to school?

It's not the 4 days, it's the 4 days down the river of death. Although my biggest question after was how the father gets back, if the ice is so thin. And then what happens if the climate warms and the thaw is earlier.

Okay I now feel like I'm watching a movie. That's not necessarily good which goes back to what Drolefille was alluding to earlier.
The eagle being trained to catch the fox is very intriguing. I wonder how they train that eagle to do that. That's a bigass eagle anyway but for it to kick a fox's ass like that is amazing.

As if I needed another reason to be terrified of monkeys (or even chimpanzees, apes, and gorillas).
Those damn monkeys are terrifying. It reminded me of the monkeys that've been terrorizing humans by breaking into houses, getting drunk, etc.
I'm scurred.

Can't watch this one atm due to the parents' DVR recording but it doesn't take a lot to teach a raptor to capture/kill and hold off on feeding for the hunter to get the prey. Eagles have just been less common historically due to size I believe. (But I think the Mongols have used them pretty regularly, is that who was featured?)

The people featured were who I thought they were, although I suppose Kazakh/Kyrgyz would be the appropriate modern terms.

Dear Show Producers,
I don't want to hear from you all about how difficult filming is. Save that for a behind the scenes footage that is not part of the main show. Let's pretend this is a relatively authentic show and not just a Discovery Channel version of Real World.
Please and thank you.
DrPhil
