Nikolai Abomov biography

Each video of a pensioner who has mastered YouTube in the eighth ten life is watched by thousands and tens of thousands of Internet users. We talked with the Amur hunter about the secrets of survival in the taiga, the customs of Evenks and human relations with nature. In his short videos, Nikolai Abomov, who has lived for more than a decade in the taiga side by side with Evenki, talks about hunting wisdom, teaches to prepare prey, make a fire from improvised means, escape from mosquitoes and bears, clean the fish with an ax and fight off hungry hawks.

And you look - it does not teach to survive, but to live. Hence the popularity. From Kayur to the blogger Nikolai Abomov - the flesh from the flesh of the child of the Soviet Union. Born in the Orenburg steppes, spent his childhood and youth in Uzbekistan, and in the army hit the Pacific Fleet. More than half a century ago he arrived in the Amur Region, worked as a hunter, shepherd and cabin by a conductor and a drove in geological expeditions, and a reindeer herder.

Living one life with Evenki and married Evenki, he took a lot from them for life. He recorded observations in the diary according to Nikolai Sobimov, in the taiga a diary is the only interlocutor on the basis of which four books were later written. The son holds a deer herd in seven hundred goals, and his father became a YouTube blogger, which is watched throughout Russia. On the Internet, Nikolai Abomov, who knows how to calculate the path along the sun, warming the shoulder or nape, wandered almost by accident-through his acquaintances he was found by an experienced Internet blogger who launched a channel about survival in the taiga.

Different advertisements began, it was necessary to advertise different products related to hunting. Suppose they sell a winter suit for 12 - 14 thousand rubles, and in a regular store the same 4 thousand costs. But they look at us, they believe us. We quarreled with him. For two years he did not appear on the Internet, but living and virtual friends missed the “smell of taiga” and the stories “Uncle Kolya”, and persuaded to return.

There is no advertisement in his videos and at the contrary, on the contrary, Nikolai Aboimov teaches you to do without stores at all - the taiga will feed, and dress, and will teach, and teach life. And he will deprive free time. Such a custom is an exchange of prey among subscribers to Sobimov, there are many city residents, many of whom are unlikely to plan to survive in the forest.

But they cannot pass by his videos “Rossomach’s beast” or “how to treat teeth in the taiga” they cannot. According to the author of the channel, this does not surprise him. Many people write to me that they would like to quit everything and go to nature, where the relations between people are simpler, open and natural. In the taiga, especially when you go there with a brigade and deer for several months, you will not hide or disguise you.

According to the hunter, he talks about these relations between people, between man and nature, and the people reach for this. And in the village they didn’t even lock the doors, and the dogs walked through the streets and did not bite anyone, ”he recalls. We rushed forward financially, financially and overtook our spirituality. ” Nikolai Abomov described in his books how he came from the sunny south to the Amur village of Bomnak in Kirsz boots and clothes, as for a city walk.

Evenki fed, dressed and equipped as a native. And generosity is a mutual thing. When he lived in Bomnak, Nikolai Aboymov got a shaty, brought home. And a string of fellow villagers stretched to the house, a mother-in-woman gave everyone a pile of meat. But my mother -in -law went for meat to other hunters. Unfortunately, many of these customs are leaving.

” Not hunting, but the murder of “Evenki taught me to relate to nature in a friendly manner, they did not have such a downstream on hunting,” he says.

Methods and devices that modern hunters use are sad to be sad at Uncle Kolya, and he has repeatedly stated this in his video. Previously, the hunter went to the forest on skiing, a gun behind his shoulder and matches in a bag, so as not to get wet. And he counted only on his experience and a sharp eye. And now they go to the beast like an enemy, with high -precision weapons and tracking devices that carry jeeps and all -terrain vehicles.

I then wrote in my diary: "This is no longer a hunt, but just shooting." And now they bring night vision devices, a sight with a laser, to determine the distances, GPS ... Vysotsky sang well: "They play with the wolves on equal terms." The more such weapons, the naturally less game. A little eyes are linked, shoot, do not look whether it is a female or a very small cub. How many times such hunters of our domestic deer shot.

Uncle Kolya is worried that modern hunting methods kill the sensitivity of the hunter, which is given to man by nature and is able to develop. You go into the forest, it shines in your right hand, which means that after half an hour turn around, let it shine in the left hand. Go and don't think about anything, you’ll come back. ” The disappearance and skill of tracking the beast threatens.

The books of Sobimov tells about hunters who followed the trail of the beast for two days. He was surprised - look, wild as if he had heels, and his boiled hooves have a home. At first you can’t see any traces.And when the experience comes, you are going on sledges, and you read in the footsteps - the sniffed went there, the sable ran here. And by the color of the trace you understand when this happened.

" More than three hundred stories per year - this is a lot and a little. There are no problems with topics for a new story by Uncle Kolya. If nothing interesting in the morning is remembered, his diaries and books come to the rescue. And it was he who took off his foam from his bottomless heritage. Sometimes subscribers suggest, ask questions.
