By the way, with regard to imported equipment. I've said before that the imported equipment and vehicles simply can not withstand the climatic conditions, for example in Siberia.
that is ludicrous. I am quite sure that Kubota(Japan) and Caterpiller(US) produce all kinds of equipment that will hold up just fine.
Some obsessed foreigners are well aware that half of northern Siberia has not yet been studied, and there never was a people and where it is a high probability to find on the banks Siberian of rivers and streams large diamonds
those foreigners, and Russians, too, who have the most rudimentary knowledge of geology will know that this is highly unlikely. Also, while it's true that half the Siberian land-mass hasn't been explored in situ, the whole of it has been quite thoroughly analyzed remotely. As for your claim that it hasn't even been studied, I'll put that one off to translation.
and gold nuggets that simply lie on the surface, washed with water.
it wouldn't have remained unsettled for long, given human nature. Going up to the Yukon was/is no picnic, but people did it, with far lesser resources and gear, because of gold being present. As for huge hunks of gold simply lying there, once again, that would be a phenomenon never really seen elsewhere on the planet, so I have my doubts.
But foreigners are too greedy and rely only on themselves and their machinery and equipment.
what would you have them rely upon? Your expertise wouldn't be much help, from what one can read here.
They think that Siberia is the same as Canada
indeed, if you are really so stupid as to think that.
How many foreigners (who supposedly just come to fish and hunt) were died in the vast forests and swamps of Siberia, only God knows. This is not to say in the press, but local hunters can tell you many interesting things.
well, my fishing buddies have been going over for nearly two decades now, generally in parties of 12-15 at a time. Everyone has made it back thus far, and the trout and salmon fishing is superb. The food and drink aren't to my tastes and I hate to fly, so I'll listen to their stories and see their pictures. What you are talking about regarding hazards is puzzling, at best. All the Russians they encountered were welcoming, the woods were peaceful and beautiful, the landscape largely unspoiled. You should focus on those latter traits, as they are worth more(in the long run) that the amount of gold or diamonds you're ever going to see out of the place.
