mountains the region is time to move and seven hundred thousand people just on the software based on bloody calf counts the area's administrative center of the city is capital city. in russian blood a kind of caste means ruler of the caucasus and the city is decorated with monuments to its proud military history and its culture past and present. this is going to be my favorite sculpture and buddy kavkaz these two gentlemen to play a game of noddy which is the most popular board game in the caucuses so sort of like a cross between backgammon and draw. and it looks like. the new one is going to have a busy trip and i wanted to make sure that i picked up a few souvenirs before i set off into the mountains all i needed was

a couple of local girls to provide some gift inspiration i think excuse me could you tell me where you bought your shuttles in to shop for the other day in the shop of the ladies pointed me in the direction of selina's workshop she and her colleagues make handmade a setian shawls following a design that's been popular here for centuries. and first we examine the museum exhibits and till we alter that all our artists on the basis of what we've got to make the kitchen an individual pattern is sketched out and then handed over to most a seamstress to begin and it's a painstaking process two months work. so who better to teach me to find something. useful with everything you know but that doesn't mean the needle was going to go where it was supposed to go yes she did it i'm getting the feeling that i probably should have paid more attention

to my gran when she was. having a hard to. find good. it was becoming more. drop ten so i left told her to tidy up after me and moved on to the next stage. was now that she can see the ground work has been pretty. neat it's possible to embroider this. each surely is unique and can sell for up to one hundred fifty dollars but it seems that's not all that salinas company makes. well i thought these makes the dolls and she dresses them all by national costume. was like walking into a little girl's dream. these dolls are all individually decorated and have costumes from a set and other parts of the caucasus and if you don't have a doll's house to put them in some will be just as happy on the teapot. but this is

much more than just a through show each one of these could be a collector's item i'm just wondering if we might find a couple of versions of these two anyway. with gift buying some food i was ready to head into the mountains and the region has plenty of dedicated volunteers to make sure you have a safe trip. you only have to see these amazing views to understand how popular a sport rock climbing is in this area but of course it can also be extremely dangerous which is why i know for certain as mountain rescue teams are always in business. so he's been working here for more than ten years and promised to show me what it takes to be in a city ranger. we were meeting up with a group of one of the rangers taking their final practical exams in the winter rescuers have to deal with an accident every single day and that can often mean carrying a victim over treacherous terrain. so you can see it's really the of the makeshift

here we've got. some ski poles and then the ropes that you would take with you on a normal amount of area expedition and this is what they using to make this makeshift stretcher. and victimise secure he's going to be moved. through and then once we get touched in. the point of the front here. and i'll see you help us. to help get him across hopefully safely. but of course the rescuers have got to make it to the other side too. rights. but getting a man across a canyon is one of the simplest tasks of the rescue ranger and there are plenty of other obstacles in their way with a room today visiting the mountains during the season it's essential that new

rangers are prepared for everything. to make sure all the same is secure coast. gets a smoother ride as possible and that was where i came in. kind of human. rights against the wall. playing. i really have the easy job ahead of us and the needed a bit of help getting him over the last. rites. get zero zero zero. zero. zero zero. zero.

because. you can see the amount of hard work that these guys have to put in to become rescue ranges could be tough. who are feeling prepared for any of a long while if the rangers and headed on into the mountains one of my favorite parts of any trip is checking out the local wildlife and i've heard in the peaks here there are some very famous residents. so i'm going in search of the legendary. these. and an expert never hurts. to the truth especially in mountain gotos made their home here for thousands of years. by hunters for their meat and their huge horns they're also smart enough to keep plenty of distance between them and. a pretty coming these mountain goats it's

hunting season and they haven't moved from the top of those mountains. sadly it seemed that that was as close to the torah as we were going to get but there was another scale i had to learn just in case i was ever around here on a very different sort of expedition. so there's no getting away from it if you're going hunting you need to be able to handle one of these as the closest i've ever got to following live rounds has been a game so it's going to show me how to do it. right. right now. i have never really mixed so understandably i was eager to learn how to best not to accidentally kill. myself you report innocent bystander. this is a most in rifle seven point six two caliber real bullets and fire you must aim at

first pressing the button to the shoulder. between the eye on the scope should be some seven centimeters. take him into the sights look it's not case to. say pull the trigger slowly. and fire you probably we still think where you're waiting . so patiently explain the process apparently my rifle dates back to before the second world war so it was about destroyed and twisted as a firearm could be and with that sniper scope surely my plastic didn't stand a chance. on this program this one i am recording. it's going to get right into your shoulder so i don't dislike ac and then squeeze the trigger.

and all throughout build up. i complete you who. are still alive but you know what they say if at first you don't succeed. ok. yeah second never saw straight down the middle. oh no you actually hit that. look it's moving that's not fake that's real. come down unfortunately that was pretty much as good as it got but i did manage to hit one other thing before we ran out of bullets. and concrete pillars stern dead. on the mountain goats live to fight another day. feeling confident that i would now survive any tourist sneak attacks i left saw and

carried on hiking into the hills and when i reached an ancient watchtower i knew i was close to one of the region's most memorable sights. the views here in of the city are almost endlessly beautiful but if you come up to the mountains and search for a while you can find the seemingly innocent looking place with the since. this place is called dark gulfs all leaders grange and it's a somber as it sounds. is a local journalist and told me a little about its history. this so-called town of the dead is one of the largest nicopolis is in europe in russia. fifty different families are buried here in the east. three most four hundred years

until the end of the eighteenth century living plague victims were brought here by their families and simply left to die. each building belonged to a different family and the bigger your to the richer you were. to draw a windy climate just kept the bones here in excellent condition some even have tufts of hair still clinging to the scalp. but you just come forget how they got here. i can understand that you had to separate the infected from the healthy but i can't think of anything more terrifying being brought here sick placed among the bodies of your relatives alive and already in your own too. dodo says a fascinating insight into the region's hawse history but i can't say i was sorry to leave it behind and i was ready for some slightly less chilling to set in adventures.

. soon which brightened if you knew about someone from funniest impressions. from stunts on t.v. dot com.

you could easily spend days sightseeing in the acetylene wilderness but i needed to get back to the capital value cash cows and that meant i needed a taxi. amazingly even up here in the mountains in a coke zero can still get pretty good phone reception because that doesn't help if like me you've forgotten the charge of the thing but it's even stuck out here in the middle of nowhere that might not be such a big problem. at least if you know when to find an enterprising local engineer to use it i was definitely. a plug in the middle of the outfits. we have a life. using metal salvaged from an old mine and a little help from mother nature action has built his own hydroelectric power station and supplies him in

a few lucky neighbors with free electricity and he can crank up the voltage when he likes this is sluice gates. you're great the way how much water comes out anyone thought. the water flows down the channel and through a two and a half ton turbine which turns an axle and supplies power to the generator meaning actual constantly has more than three hundred volts of electricity on top. how's that for a one man engineering project produces enough electricity his. own work that crane and power another twenty one the houses as well. unfortunately it turns out that a taxi will even pick you up out here for the right price. i'm going to have curtis i was ready to check out a different kind of power. there's always been a strong relationship in the caucuses between him and his horse as here in the set here it's no different but only the very best roy to get

a chance to join the troop. you know. once again place you don't bend your knees two legs tied. i like the guy if charges are performed all of the rusher in europe there's no easy ride in this company. i feel good. the ground. game. the whole troop exuding glamour and danger i could see why people would flock to see them perform but what exactly does it take to become a stunt rider. each person has their own story that if you come to a theater above all else i love animals after all i was born in the year of the horse i like whole says this one is i like my with. my is the biggest.

she's my favorite student she came here after finishing high school school and now she's with us yes. now we'll try to show you the course of every horseman. but i mean straight legs sit down softly what do you want and james. i guess some of that get off when writing a few times in my travels around russia so obviously i was moved and ready to take the next step. apparently a full year is the troops most compliant horse perfect for some how much acrobatics . that's a question is it. it's like my two best. times everything's fun it's impossible to fall from that it turns out the doing a press up on a horse is not quite as effortless as alex riders make it seem so i settle for a quick trial to ride the paddock much more. isn't this more civil law or

any of this rushing around and leaping out of your saddle. i can't imagine people paying to watch it but it suits me just but i think now go go go for your fourth straight legs us line don't bend your name but. i left a phone here and i like to prepare for that make spectacular i'm back in town i have another appointment time needed to keep. so that should give you an idea of how friendly the people are here in a setting i've only been there a few days and i've already been invited to a wedding unfortunately my best suit is languishing in a wardrobe back in moscow which means that if i want to look a lot i'm going to need some help. this is the house of design a traditional tailors that's been supplying drawing screens and guests for the best

part of twenty eight. courses how there are a few steps. each costume is made to order and the detail ispat. the graffiti in these days and ask them graphic nationals to let them all a grandmother's is used to sweep such golden embroidery and wear this costumes as you do when. ever they like to use the end of a question was one of the in general plot of the cost you women used to make centuries is manual climbing it doesn't dance to make wondrous good. and there's one other accessory that's always included these are. open in the wedding the groom should lead a flank around brights head with three times is in five to five and bottom of the first. but the longer that. gives the bears to seven healthy boys and one healthy girl but those same length and then she takes it up but this

authenticity doesn't come cheap and oligarchs do so once make down the all in hundred one. thousand dollars old the creation. of the final stroke isn't it beautiful very beautiful but i was in the market for a slightly cheaper option but i was still getting the royal treatment would you not only as a measures. name. but i'll warn. you this is the way you quickly find out the horrible truth about how much weight you put on or how many inches said to me to put on your adventures around russia. or be just as a parent i think was the good of me that it's fifty one. and the sleeve is six to so. much as just a bit on my waist with us what bonus. with all my measurements recorded is old

ladies got to work in a few days later i was ready to try on my new outfits but it's going to finish adjusting my bullets belt. and the finishing touch to this amazing outfit so. i think i'm ready for some don't sing. finally the big day had arrived john allen's wedding we still had a while before we would you to go and pick up shauna. people arrived it became increasingly obvious that i was the only person wearing traditional dress and they were expecting over a thousand guests. so you might think the reception is already begun but you'd be wrong because the point doesn't even made her appearance yet this is just the pre-processing and that's my kind of went. to. assess years she means a lot of food close of toasts. the first ones to do and. the sections to

some. numbers three through ten are a bit of a bluff. and it's only then that the guests are invited to meet the lady of the day . she might have already said hello to a few hundred people but joan is days only just beginning. of this is one of the most important the whole city entire ceremony of the bride is introduced to be oldest much respect to the members of the prince family sees officially welcomed us all as a friend. but that doesn't mean that their old relatives are just going to let her leave. this is one way of keeping the bride from being married apparently all these guys have to hold her back and in order to get them to leave the bridegroom needs to pay for the privilege. to some good old fashioned broidery because we're ready. so the ransom has been paid.

for the girl said get out of the way. a lot is the equivalent of a little session. giveaway of the brides. another round of crazy drawing and horn honking later we were back at the groom's party and it was time for john to be formally unveiled. the whole day have been a constant mix of food don'ts and solemn ceremony but amazingly alone and shown a happy man once but then i noticed that they both slipped out of the main hall. so it goes against all. but brides and our group are actually in the same reason on the same day of their wedding but it's pretty unusual is that all the way from each other. the happy couple to it but

by then my outfit of the trying to do little attention and i can say i was surprised when i was told to prove my innocence on the dogs from. here exceeded my expectations from the beauty of its mountains to the hospitality of its people it's a place i really didn't want to leave it doesn't matter who you are who way you're from come here. and i guarantee you'll feel like you're a hard. well
