incense international leaders, much to the delight of onlookers. you're watching the news up next close up. looks at the men who deliver the mail in slovakia is tom tramonto. i'm terry martin. thanks for being with us. the name is the calls back. said wow. thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. as soon as i was saying it loud, you guys would have being nosy, bay, like get everyone to king to check out the award winning called called the called back.

the high toddress of slovakia. the world's smallest high mountain range is different by cool, is one of your last mountain porters delivering supplies to the mountain heights. and i go, it's good for the ego, though. i recommend it to anyone who feels like superman, novelty, just who put them on. so people should come to the mountains and try it out to police the cook, so they'll soon know how their muscles, head and heart are doing a new and va, hello authors, cool facilitates costa porters who also refer to themselves as contrast. your price carry up to $100.00 killers on their box at great risk loss of silica therapy. below wage above us broke off the avalanche plunged all the way into the valley taking you arrive with it. you want to hear what i, uh, the

of the fresh from the bakery. stuff on. but cool is caring a very delicate load today. but also like in the, these are legendary home, a book, the kind of the dumpling how to go out. the best point is to store them for the height of the boy, toys, clock all out of each hot has its own storage, where the goods are packed to evaluate for saturday that we're taking some vegetables up today, some vitamin with some green on. so they're looking for the main key and the sweet dumpling was the point, even though i didn't even tell me docs i from great talk a little bit in a month when i started me. they smell so good. well,

nobody la spell the police, the styrofoam blocks at the bottom to get the right center of grab a lot of natural gas. you can use anything light, but also stable if may not cause it's a windy day today. this cost, so i want to stack the boxes as high as usual. the wind of the mountains is unpredictable. it can be a problem if it to the heaviest weight should be here around head high and touching, nothing to do. and i would only get, i mean, a lot of aged to speak to mr. we're still still lost if he's not this, but i figure you can see the position we have to carry it. you give us that example tilted forward a little on the hey on any, 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 simple. he the less the most of the difficult supposed to come to a fault symbol. a strong gust of wind could not stephane 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, so nobody, nobody, good, it looks good. is it? after the day i'll have to see what the window is like. the thing would have ok. i don't know if your legs will tell you whether today will be a good or a difficult walk and with it. okay, i level 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 the next couple of day is i, that's the last you know of the here it says that nobody that said it's nice when you realize it's going well. lump, it's actually loaded up, right? folks coming to out here. you feel how small you are and what really matters focusing on you to and what you say when you come back down when you're a better person, but i have a sofa the, 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 that we've been seeing. if you make the right steps, it's almost like dance when you get your split out when it could. okay, that's good. i put on that,

but the heavy wind and the weight of the frame for stuff on to take frequent breaks of that gotcha. okay. so how much are you in your area? it does look like not much today. i have around 60 kayla so well. okay. and there was a hard snow so that it was okay, the small so i didn't want to push it because of the weather high to struggle with the wind further down. yes to this w t. is there anything to take down from the hot to? 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 the basic

window here, but we've made it. there was no, we're good. now i'm to, what do you measure? let's go back to stop is the one of the how to do that. can i? she's done very simple studies in 20 years. stefan has carry tons of loads up the mountains. come rain or shine over the hill. okay. okay. good. okay, we're at the honda. i'm happy to position sir. okay, joe. job up. i always go. i wasn't even of the 3 didn't good. i was worried about the winning, but it was okay. that 52 kilo still 52 kilos. good. sell it, help you one year old per kilo is standard $52.00 kilos, a book date on the way up and 40 kilos of bedding going down. makes it around 90

euros pane. that's funny. i unpacked it off with what i'm looking forward to a soup and a beer. nobody . okay, is with the other, so it's a very, this is only a hot keeper, mickey can each kind of get some fresh goods delivered almost every day. let sure he has 10 porters working for him altogether. so they missed that, but so those and then those notes, he gave me the folders, bring up 70 percent of the goods or probably not the helicopter only brings things like beer, heating pellets and the large gas bottles. there's no permit for a cable car, so that must 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 slip in there . finally, i think the porters bring us everything we need is that the most mostly not because

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 theme here in this time. ok the

what's the phone though? the phones are not on usual. the 4 steps on, luckily, this one didn't and badly, but he still has most of the journey ahead of him. his descent will take 2 hours, the though cisco kid all 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 all so no problem. i'm all right. that's the main thing. my son is not able to get on his no k a score for so that was it.

let's get out of here fast. we'll get in the car or drive down and enjoy a good dinner. it seems that i'm looking forward to seeing my family. my boys in montana. ok. the, the days off are rare. a chief rush different in the peak season. but come november when tours number is full. 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 being on 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 fell into a lot of success with that, it's going to scroll with the look. there's the hut. what do you remember the 1st time we came here? i'm looking forward to the suit. you can drink 10, daddy can have a beer. that's hot. ok. ok. she definitely knows the way to the pleasant events. hot as a guest, not as 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 on time to see what's new with a super nice know not much of you, but i can see you've been busy now. 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 i'm so renewing it to protect the the true 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 lesson, but this rude was already here. donna, if our route already exists, fine, but i don't want cable cars to be built in the high tetra, see the stuff that the with the value on. okay. 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? mm hm. i've always noon that the remote and porter was normal for me. so i don't, i don't want you to, i don't know, family is important and the older i get some dollar more, i look forward to coming home to the boy. 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 this out to you know, 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 the interest situated is equal to just reopen 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. the weather is often bad to see the. the rangers are responsible for protecting the national parks, animals pool and stuff on were ranger colleagues for a long time. they still work together today, counting the don't 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 park to do it. everybody puts their data in and out. that's where it's all collected and evaluated really defines the top trash them one step one and pool 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. didn't get into rodney study that isn't interfaces, 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 too. oh mama, i will call the saga the car safety and predators live here in the high talk as well. so here's the evidence that can go across the trails in the national park are close to 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 titration y v, this is a slow pick up, but i lot of the distant boat team on the air in the grass system where the snow was swept away. okay, okay. okay. okay, listen, that's not blue belt. yes. so just below the sun in the shade new we use of tells

us here that there were the patrick snow. it's on a focus on hold on. okay. okay. but those come on. yeah. so now it's looking to the left to a level ok. let's continue over the ones that raise the only to some one. 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. most of this up, up, up, hold on. see, i think the population of time to show might increase graduates from the critical level of 250 to 400 animals. and the whole by contrast was not to cisco. so that in the last 10 years, the number has arisen to over 1000 and it could, it, this figure is stable to day or 2. so sometimes there are a few or sometimes more, but 1000, it's a very good fit again for the population that comes with. stephane 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 them and it's good for today is

a beautiful day. but i mean, and we're at a sad place for me and my comrade sounds a little called the rocky hang. there was a lot of, you know, what you see there was an avalanche here in 2000 that killed our good friend and puerto you are right, petrosky go me over. that's all. i got a very good man who loved the mountains. the sun avalanches are the greatest danger for the porters solicit this whole range of us, broke off the avalanche punched all the way into the valley. taking your eye with all the construction of avalanche nets is also prohibited in the strictly protected national park. nothing should spoil the pristine nature of this unique area. but those loyalty to the protection of the national park here is very important because the area is small. it's one of the smallest national parks and the world of mine is and that's why nature conservation should have absolute priority over mass tourism in any

interference with nature to these mama. to me, i'd like to see, i mean, over 4000000 tourists from all over the world, visit the tantra national park every year. so things like yoga, ok, there's a lot of pressure to change things from all over the. but all the more reason to set rules about what's allowed in winter and what's allowed in summer, so much that will be so like every math. ok, double there has to be a balance and it's very fragile. but the nature will say menu, so i hope it stays this way for a long time. but i can only, boy, i said, is that we can still experience many beautiful moments and meet here for whatever reason susceptible the pacific time or the uh that it just stays like this. it was so beautiful our, the style i would like a customer. the preparations are underway for the highlight of the year, the so called sure by raleigh. almost all the high tetra porters take part

and taking part in the $100.00 kilo run for the 1st time and i'll be carrying 50 kilos in the mixed doubles. my partner will carry the other 50 killer. please common way 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 2. a great test of strength. we also time 22 and it's my 1st time here. i know that this is my 1st time and i'm carrying 30 kilos. why am i doing this? because i want to test my limits. i 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 who's up the mountain and 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 porter sanctuary for the month. a beautiful building with its own soul and energy functioning. uh, we built the sherpa cafe and sharpen museum. here she had 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 for the family of 4 would that's not all. forms must be for those that exclusively said to ourselves, 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 detach reporters frequently capture on video. how exhausting and dangerous their work can be. the customer is kamali currently have 6 hudson,

slovakia that are totally dependent on us porters a little somebody asked me i was about 30 then to go through the federal level here. i am with a very heavy load to serve you. so here you can see how we do it on skis, winter scale, fully sheleesha what's an facility or key? we porters are strong man city. so see if i still me copy, we can carry loads that taurus best can't carry it, some of them and there's nothing to stop or blend these. nothing holding up the, the rest of 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. and she read a screw,

that kind of put me in the thoughts of fixing. technically, this is the most demanding section. not only on the waiting pod, lose me hot, but in general. so, but it's, it's on the police, kept to be 100 percent. sure. what you're doing here. there's no room for error. if you fall here is some colleagues have it can be fatal. people's them you have to be careful because of the avalanches to send in the summer because of the storms and thunderstorms will come. we should we have to avoid those dangerous adults. allowable escalate to move. 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 of the others fell. see me put me 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. a 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 porter you're looking for his own. it might, you know, will support her husband's stuff on, at the race today. so i hope that 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 as cosca

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 1st thing would be for everyone to reach the top safe and sound. a little bit of lots of this is my mom. okay. my mama. okay. my sweet boy. yes. okay. let me remember you are 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 and make a to

stephan's also ready to get going. he hasn't carried 100 kilos for a long time. now. he says, it's always when you have one of these kilograms, it looks like for you. okay, you okay. good luck, stephane. you were the only that the 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 100 percent, but to 100 percent

hippa dates hard. okay. that i can split up for coming to the 1st, the short cut where it gets slippery and there are train rules. okay, hold on. yeah. the worst thing would be a full sleep. there are slippery spots on the course. okay, super thanks. a body symbol. i hope it goes well and everyone arrives safely 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 or the

for the move itself over the super my good angela by the guardian angel. the affinity both, it's a good feeling up here with the guys. good air, good spirit, good energy scale. your eyes soul is here and the soul of the others who are no longer with us. even if we missed the guys isn't there with us today. we are

happy. okay, well my son is such a wonderful person. sometimes it brings tears to my eyes that i have a son like in the, not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in, that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d, w b is due for fun via do gravitational waves squeeze all body.
