Rave - . part first. about fishing, nature, traveling and adventure...

Dear friends! Here is our program. We named it "Bredny" ( The name "Bredny" has different translations. It could mean "rave" as well as it could mean "dragnets" - kind of fishing tackle) So this program is not just about fishing. I can tell it is "about a fishing too". We have got wide area of themes. We are going to talk with people who travel in far away, interesting and sometimes dangerous places. We gonna talk about human and wildlife interrelations. About camp cuisine and about tasty and -- that's more important -- healthy - food. About local people.... About mysterious and unexplained things like ancient spirits, legendary Hyperborea or even the Bigfoot! Our YouTube videos on "Tersky Coast" channel as well as other people's channels will give us lots of themes! Well, the comments for our video give so different, sometimes contrary opinions. So we decided it's time to open wider discussions. We will invite experts and just people who have something to say. Everyone - all our audience -- could take part by mean of Internet. In this our first program our members are going to note themes we will discuss soon. Let's meet them! Anton Guskin. Traveler. Operator. One of the authors of our documentaries. Co-owner of "Terskybereg" company. Evgeny Kuznetsov. Traveler. Journalist. Fisherman. Member of Russian Journalists Union. Expert for "Fishing with us" magazine. He loves fishing in all it's aspects. His character is very communicative. Sergey Gorlanov Journalist, photographer and adventurer (in the finest sense of the word) Character is strong. Are you ready? Let's go! Tersky Coast - it is the place where we all like to come. Before I thought this place is very far. I thought it is ends of Earth ! Why we are going there? That is the question. Well.. Somebody - to catch fishing trophy... somebody to enjoy the beauty of Nature. As for me - I go there to catch excellent trophy. It is possible because a few people is there. Clearest lakes and rivers... Places are incomparable. What was a most memorable thing for you about this trip? It was an extreme trip, very extreme! Just remember the start of the travel! Our boat was going to sink first! Forward's! Let all go on bow! Quickly! Easy! Don't worry! So I wish to live! And I don't wish to swim in Arctic Ocean -- even short distance! I'm ready to kill anyone who would make me to do it! Well. I think we will make a special part on extreme trips. Evgeny was making some program for TV on this theme. He will learn us to survive in dangerous situations...! Thousands of gulls on the sea coast. It all is flying, dinning, peeping... One island is there. It had many clutches. A dog-fox swam to island. The gulls like great fist fell on the fox, punched them. Did he have a clutch? I didn't see. I think he went away. Mustang. When I went to him horse was aggressive. I was afraid and didn't come closer to him. White whale - Belukha. Not everyone has seen him at wild. Also there we have seen many bear's tracks and waste of their berries repasts. Well.. about bears. I have met one of them near Pulonga river. The bear was sitting at the bushes. Thank Goodness! He did not come to me, he went away! It was a huge bist, great "machine"! Besides he moved very fast! Very nice of him that he went away. Otherwise I would have a little chance to save my life. Besides we have seen spiteful lemmings that time. About lemmimgs -- it's a special story... One day I was fishing on the riverside... and I heard strange "knock-knock" sounds... And right behind me there were bushes were I had seen bear's tracks... May be he was stealing up to me... And I was looking at him out of the corner of my eye... So he was moving and then he stopped... The bear?!! -Lemming! -Oh! The lemming that I guess is much more spiteful than a bear! He fell on his back, showed his teeth... I was trying to take his photo and he was trying to bite my camera! I think if a bear was such aggressive as this little beast is - there would be no animals in tundra at all! No wonder when this lemmings were founded in pike's stomach -- sometimes even four of them... But I saw two lemmings in bulltrout and two of them in perch! I mean lemming is quite big "hamster". Anyway "mouse" teaser is OK for perch. So teasers that we used in Khabarovsk for taimen is suitable for Kola Peninsula? The most interesting thing that local people continue their old traditions as well as traditional fishing technique... That's just one side of the coin... The is another side... Traditional local seal trapping is banned now. May be traditional salmon fishing will be banned soon... Yes it's good for salmon population but what are people going to do then. Local economy would be ruined this way. So all that local traditions now exist despite of economic trends. Formerly you could catch grayling in all middle-Russia area including Tula region -- now it disappeared. But there (on Kola Peninsula) there is European grayling... and of big trophy size... and that's important -- very tasty! Besides bulltrout, Salmo salar ("Semga"). And this fishing cookery is a special theme. -Many of our spectators would condemn this your words. -Why? They are sure that we can just to kiss the fish and then release it! And fish we have to eat is that vile food we can buy in supermarket. No, it's impossible just to kiss and release this fish! I'd definitely like to taste it! We'll make it as special heading of our program - camp cookery. Cause there we can taste some delicious food that is not available anywhere. Main thing that fish is real ecologically clean food - not that Norwegian salmon grown up in fish pond feeding hormones and antibiotics and even colouring agents. Yeah! There we have ecologically clean fish with ecologically clean parasites in it! As long as everything is clean -- parasites must be clean too... I saw parasites in pike caviar as well as in entrails of some fishes. One who likes light salted pike - he has a great risk of disease. I stand on hot cooking and than everything will be OK. And what about our favorite light salted salmon? Some tourists have to eat this way. It's a good tradition aimed at parasite's survival in the nature. You know it's about 10 years I eat this way but I still feel good... Probably you did not do all necessary tests yet? Parasite intention is not to kill you but multiply their population at the expense of you. Well... raw food diet tradition -- where is it from? For instance in Mongolia there is traditional eating of raw meat, raw fish and even of fresh animal's blood. And they feel good, have no avitaminosis.. There is that dish they slice reindeer raw meat into small pieces,coat it with fresh blood - and then you have to take a piece of it in you teeth, cut it off with a knife, than chew and swallow it. There is enough amount of vitamin C in fresh blood -- so that people have no avitaminosis. "Survival school" -- should be another special heading of our program. And you keeping in mind you great experience could teach us how to survive in a wild world? Probably we should invite some other famous travelers to discuss this theme? What cortex and in what forest you can eat safely! You can eat aspen cortex without fear. But you could not eat a lot of it -- it's a quite bitter.... But no malaria, no scurvy! A guess we have to act reasonably anyway. I think it's all emotional and even adventure things... But we have to be wise! Probably we have to talk about different fishing methods we can see on Kola Peninsula. You know it's a place where fly fishers from all over the world would be glad to get. It's a possibility to fight a big trophy with light tackle.. Lots of Englishmen go there.... Yeah, Englishmen, Americans, lots of our people too... Fly fishing is special theme. Somewhere it's lord's pastime something elite. Somewhere it's fishing technique of Russian peasant! We have to tell a lot about it. It's a first program so I suggest we have to focus different things we face on any fishing: beautiful places, different geography here in Russia - Kamchatka, Far East, South etc. May be aboard - Mongolia, Turkey, Cuba! -- Anywhere we go we will make videos for our program. And different fishing techniques -- someone likes fly fishing, another one likes spinning, float or something... And anyone could discover something new. For example -- he do not like fly fishing -- but he could decide to try... Yes anyone can make his own discovery during his fishing trip. May be discovery, may be just useful tip for a future. When we are go to the wild nature -- it's a kind of relaxation, having a good time. We love fishing, traveling all this way of life in common. So when we are there we influence the Nature and it influence us in return. Man and Nature -- are you organic part of this wild world or you are stranger. We see new places, we get our impressions and we influence an environment. What we can do there and what we never can do. Necessarily we influence an environment ant it influence us. Some people think I gone home and I do not care what I left behind. Where is optimal wise point? We'll we different geography and different ways of fishing. So called "Survival school" - how to act safely both for the environment and youself. What we can do and what we must not do. There are many different opinions. For example -- the taimen -- should we take a big trophy taimen or should we release it? We were surprised by opinion of local people. One guy said: "My grandpa told me to take a big fish and release a small one -- to let it to grow up..." It's not about Timen only -- it's about reproduction of any fish. There are some "supernatural" things - the Bigfoot, UFO etc. I'm skeptical about that themes. But probably I'm wrong as from time to time people face it in some ways. May be there is something about it... We'll show something, discuss something, learn something About all this things And about many others In our new program "THE RAVE" on our TerskyCoast channel Watch and comment our videos Express your opinion on themes discussed Propose you own interesting theme TO JOIN OUR FUTURE PROGRAMS Send a message to "TerskyCoast" channel Or mailto: info@tersky.ru
