12:32 am
who is cloth the. but it's what is the store room for the hot of the boy? toys clock all out of each hot has its own storage, where the goods are packed in about a saturday thought. we're taking some vegetables up today, some vitamin with some green on some fillings, and that's gonna be the main key. and the sweet dumpling was here to put him at the bottom. let me book dummy talk today from great talk a little bit and the story was male. so good for the last for the police, the styrofoam blocks at the bottom to get the right center of the brand. i bought it natural gas. you can use anything light but also stable, knock a lot. it's a windy day today. let's go. so i want stacked the boxes as high as usual. the wind of the mountains is unpredictable. it can be a problem if it's, the heaviest weight should be here around head height, touchy nothing to do with them. you know, i mean, i love you hate. you have to speak to mr.
12:33 am
we're still the last name. he's not a. but if you are, you can see the position we have to carry it. you give us that example tilted forward a little underneath, not too much here, but also not to upright. the political and people nice thing to this position gives you the best control i'm dumb for. he, the less the most of the article we have supposed to come to a full civil a strong gust of wind could not stefan and his high load office speed any time he built his wooden carrying frame himself. the construction is very old and traditional. he uses old fire brigade, hoses, stripes. oh the good it looks good. is it up a little bit? i will have to see what the window is like that thing with it. ok. i don't know if
12:34 am
your legs will tell you whether today will be a good fit or a difficult walk and with it. ok, i level a level. so what if the school does it? and this guy stefan has a 4 hour climb ahead and 1000 meters of height. the temple contest is my normal pace. first of all, before i check that everything is working as it should physically come over. the machine has to warm up slowly because of those couple of day is i, that's the last you know, of the hit save the liberty that said it's nice when you realize it's going well off, it's actually loaded up, right? so out here you feel how small you are and what really matters. the amount of you didn't want you to. when you come back down, you're a better person, but i have a sofa the
12:35 am
. that's the shift. it's all right so far the wind isn't too bad. it's okay to walk further on. there's a spot where you have to be careful. we dance with the wind there on weekends. if you make the right steps, it's almost like dance when it gets your spit out and it good. okay, that's good. i put on these things. but the heavy wind and the weight of the frame for stuff on to take frequent breaks as the gotcha. okay. so how much are you in your area? is that correct? not much today. i have around 60 key, let us know what the next. what was it hard? uh it was okay. the small so i didn't want to push it because of the weather. i had
12:36 am
to struggle with the wind further down the yes to the stellar's if is there anything to take down from the hot? oh yes. there are a few things still there. okay, july then. okay. tell me the last few meters to the heart of thieves. she definitely knows every single step of the window here, but we've made it. there was no, we're good. now, what do you measure? let's go back. i'll stop is the one of the hard here. i can i, she's done the sample sitting there in 20 years. stefan has gary tons of loads up the mountains. come rain or shine. okay
12:37 am
. okay. good. okay. we're at the heart of it. i'm happy to position so. ok joe. job thought they always go whether the 3 didn't good. it was a bit worried about the wind, but it was okay. that 52 kilo steel, 52 kilos. good seller help you one year. oh, per kilo is standard $52.00 kilos of book the on the way up and 40 kilos of bedding going down makes it around. 90 euro is pain. that's funny. i have unpacked it awfully, but i'm looking forward to a soup and a beer. nobody . okay, is with the other, so it's a very, this is only the keeper, mickey, can each kind of get some fresh goods delivered almost every day. let you know what he has 10 porters working for him altogether. so they missed that,
12:38 am
but it's with us in the notes he gave me the pointers, bring up 70 percent of the goods on the helicopter only brings things like beer, tedium pellets, and the large gas bottles, there's no permit for a cable car so they won't be in the immediate future, but it's only, it's a high priority conservation area and that's a good thing. if we need our, the police capability and i'll see it in that out. we have to get the slipping of finally, i think the porters bring us everything we need is that the most mostly not because of the most. each of the, the wind has picked up and is blowing from the back against the high carrying frame . keeping his balance on the rocky terrain is a challenge. the
12:39 am
being here in this time. ok the what's the phone though? the phones are not on usual the switch design. luckily this one didn't and badly but he still has most of the journey ahead of him. his descent will take 2 hours.
12:40 am
the 5th. okay. now everything is okay. a part of the wind and the fault. it was probably it shouldn't have happened with my experience, but it happened. oh, no problem. i'm all right. that's the main thing. my son is not able to get on isn't okay. a 5th corporate. so that was it. let's get out of here fast. we'll get in the car, drive down and enjoy a good dinner. uh i'm looking forward to seeing my family. my boys in montana miss . okay. the, the days off are a rarity for stefan and the peak season. but come november when tours number's fall
12:41 am
. he finally has time for the most important thing in his life. and this gets a little later today, i'm out with my family talking to me show and cooper issue. we're doing a day trip together as they demonstrate this, pull it out with that kind of stuff like that. okay. it's a super it's, it's great to be out in nature together, the thickness for the time off and outdoors. but of course i want to show the boys the high toddress just kind of surrounding area and, and beyond that, i could have somebody, it's the only point on good. we don't have that many opportunities to spend time together outdoors that they all into a lot of success with that, it's going to scroll with the foot by the look. there's the hut. what do you remember the 1st time we came here and i'm looking forward to the suit. you can drink 10, daddy can have a beer. also had ok. okay. she definitely knows the way to the pleasant events hot as a guest, not as
12:42 am
a porter. one of the few roads in the region leads to it. so the young manager yano, my tava, can transport his supplies with an off road vehicle. high all the time. no. see the fuck? new. super nice. no, not much. but i can see you've been busy. will you be done by winter? i didn't know you were redoing the road to the school. the cities were doing that for safety reasons. the road was collapsing and so were renewing at the true and national park has been under strict protection since it was founded in 1949 building a cable car or more roads to deliver goods is forbidden. suddenly somebody, personally, i don't think it would be right to build roads here. i don't agree with it in this
12:43 am
lesson, but this rude was already here. donna, if our root already exists fine thing, but i don't want cable cars to be built in a high tetra, see the stuff that will develop a lot, nokia and for now, that's how things will stay. the transporters and their families are upholding their century's own tradition. hey so i'm afraid for you these be me, especially when it's cold and you're working at night which it i've always noon that the remote and porter is normal for me. no, i don't deny it or is it the family is important and the older i get some dollar more i look forward to coming home to the boys. so now you're not, you know, the mall a lot going on and i much cool, but with family comes responsibility for the time will come when i have to give
12:44 am
this out to you, i'll say, but i was pretty good trespassing additional states country to i don't know when i can't planet. uh, i don't know the names of now everything is working fine. i'm ok. ok. ok. thank you . a deposit that we did over the phone and martino met in a mountain hunt in the national park. 15 years ago. she was working in the kitchen, p as a puerto, both of the use of interest situated is equal to just real things together for many years. with time you get used to each other, but sometimes it's not so nice to knows. i don't like it when he's working as a porter in winter. i mean, the weather is often bad to see the . the rangers are responsible for protecting the national parks, animals pool and stuff on were range your colleagues for
12:45 am
a long time. they still work together today, counting the go like touch, rush, i'm want thought, you know, we do the count once in spring and once an ottoman this, to my colleagues have to go all over the national part to do it. everybody puts their data in and out. that's where it's all collected and evaluated to really define the trash them one step on and pull and have to climb to the highest parts of the mountain. they soon make an interesting discovery. oh oh, look at this. it looks fresh, get and get into. i've missed that. i, that isn't easy for you sees maybe one or 2 days old people. there are lots of them in the national park to last echo. so my hotel, there are leases and brown bears here to mom and i will call the solve the car tape, and predators live here in the high talk to us as well. so here's the evidence that's good. that can go across the trails in the national park are close to
12:46 am
tourists from the start of november until mid june, which is allowed a particularly diverse range of pharma to develop in the high to address the comes the key. so we're looking for tundra shun y v, this is a slow pick up, a lot of the distant boat, steam on the air in the grass system where the snow was swept away. okay, okay. okay. okay, listen, it's not move out. yes. so just to load the sun in the shade new we use up to those last year there were the patrick snow is on a focus on hold on. okay. okay. but those come on. yes. and now it's looking to the left to level. okay, let's continue. oh, but it was amazing the only to show them why they are counting on the symbol of the tetra national park. they're a highly protected species. this kind of some one doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. the post office a couple on see i think the population of time to show might increase graduates
12:47 am
from the critical level of 250 to 400 animals. and the whole toddress was not just the school. so during the last 10 years, the number has risen to over 1000 and it can disfigure a stable to day or 2. sometimes there are a few or sometimes more, but 1000, it's a very good figure for the population. what comes of stefan has many memories of this area. it's where he started out as a mountain porter and where he lost a good friend. that goes to, i'm going to skip it today is a beautiful day, but i mean we're at a sad place for me and my comrade stopped a little cold. the rocky hang are locked and while the novel could do it, you see there was an avalanche here in 2000 that killed or a good friend and puerto you're right, but try and ski go me over. that's all i got a very good man who loves the mountains. the sudden avalanche is the greatest danger for the porters or facilities of his whole range of us broke off the avalanche punched all the way into the valley. taking your eye with all the
12:48 am
construction of avalanche nets is also prohibited in the strictly protected national park. nothing should spoiled the pristine nature of this unique area. but those loyalty to the protection of the national character is very important because to area small, it's one of the smallest national parks in the world. and i mean, and that's why nature conservation should have absolute priority over mass tourism in any interference with nature to these mama to me i'll talk to you. i mean over $4000000.00 tourists from all over the world, visit the tetra national park every year. so things like your bills, there's a lot of pressure to change things from one load yet. but all the more reason to set rules about what's allowed in winter and what's allowed in summer, trouble from that will be so like everything the whole county double there has to be a balance and it's very fragile about the nature of so many. so i hope it stays this
12:49 am
way for a long time, so i can only a boy i said is that we can still experience many beautiful moments and meet here for whatever reason for simple within a pacific time or the that it just stays like this. even so beautiful our, the style, i don't like a government preparations are underway for the highlight of the year. the so called sure by raleigh. almost all the high touch reporters take part and taking part in the 100 kilo run for the 1st time. and i'll be carrying 50 kilos in the mixed doubles. my partner will carry the other 50 kilo, please come and weigh in. if you haven't done so yet. today the porters have to carry 100 kilos for almost 3 kilometers alone or in teams of to a great test of strength. we also time 22 and it's my 1st time here
12:50 am
and also suddenly, this is my 1st time and i'm carrying 30 kilos. why am i doing this? because i want to test my limits and want to know if i can do it. that's what it's about. the weather is perfect, but just, you know, it's terrible. that's our character. we use up the mountain to say only evil is bad, not of weather stuff on my car will of course also be taking part into sure about riley. but he still has time for a coffee before the start. i'm not sure just on the, you know, covering this, this house. so maybe one of the most beautiful old buildings in the high to address with, you know, it's the puerto sanctuary, 30 month, a beautiful building with its own soul and energy functioning. uh, we built the sherpa cafe and shirt, but museum here should also stefan and his wife martino had been running the sherpa cafe and sharpen museum for 9 years. it's an important additional source of income
12:51 am
for the family of 4, or that's not all fools must be for though is it exclusively said to ourselves when we can create something. here we have the opportunity to tell people about the history of the high countries, the study, and the mountain porters, and how they're intertwined. so the only people in a of the, the tantra porters frequently capture on video, how exhausting and dangerous their work can be. the customer is kamali currently have 6 hudson, slovakia. so that are totally dependent on us porters for some that's me. i was about 30 then to go through the federal level here. i am was a very heavy load to you. so here you can see how we do it on skis in winter scale . boy sheleesha. what's an episode? level key we porters are strong man city,
12:52 am
so we'll see how soon we come up if we can carry loads, that tourists can't carry some of them and there's nothing to stop or blend based. nothing holding up the, the step which us we're out there in any weather a little bit what the helicopters can't do and what the cable cars can't do. the porters can do that in almost all conditions. something else should read a screw, that kind of put me in the thoughts of fixing it. technically, this is the most demanding section one, not only on the waiting pod, lose me hut, but in general. so, but a sense of the police kept to be 100 percent. sure. what you're doing here is that there's no room for error. if you fall here, some colleagues haven't can be fatal people's them. you have to be careful because of the avalanches defending the summer because of the storms and thunderstorms and come, we have to avoid those dangerous adults,
12:53 am
some of what's coming up. so we've had sad years issue. okay. the sure for that museum has existed for 9 years now with the patrol on, during this time we've lost 5 colleagues. now some died in an avalanche all day. others fell. see me for main things at the community. i hope that good years will come and nothing bad will happen because we're a small community. we really feel like when somebody is missing, of the defendant only lose a good friend and you and i pick time sky. you and i was also one of his most experienced colleagues, is come out of it all. today is a big day of celebrations. good. it's the memorial run for your life of transcript in memory of our comrade who died in the avalanche. and even if the also and memory of others who are no longer with us, it's like a little christmas for us. it's not just a race, but a meeting of all the porters looked impulses on it. martina will support her husband's stuff on at the race today,
12:54 am
so i hope it goes well. the $100.00 kilo run is hard and the weather is bad. i'm keeping my fingers crossed. ok i only so i'm just trying to get out to see if the low distribution is good over there and if everything works ok, just to test. so let's go over the before, during a $100.00 kilo run, it's not a pretty sight. thank god, it ended. well, he picked himself up and carried on running. the best thing would be for everyone to reach the top safe and sound. good. and i let you know. this is my mom. okay. my momma. okay. sweet boy. yes. okay.
12:55 am
let me remember you right and that he was always fair. we will hold a minute silence at the top and also to the others who can no longer be with us. be fair on the track. those who are fast or pass, you might think of a to stephan's also ready to get going. he hasn't carried $100.00 kilos for a long time now. okay. it says it's always been in every one of these kilograms. it looks like for you. okay. you okay. good luck, stefan. vicky, we're the only that the,
12:56 am
that's the issue is that every step is important because because the whole universe is the 2 meters ahead of you. now you don't need to give them 100 percent, but 200 percent hippa dates hard. ok. that i can submit it for coming to the 1st, the short cut where it gets slippery and there are train rules. okay, hold on. yeah. the
12:57 am
worst thing would be a full sleep. there are slippery spots on the course. okay, shoot, click next to the body symbol. i hope it goes well and everyone arrives safely. i goof, i should go over the aspect so record to be broken today and these conditions that we did over to the check i'm do you got to interpret the fanatical discrepancies it would make us of the the the, the roof itself,
