@HWEisRISING Not yet. I'll see what I can do... But right now I'm pretty caught up making other films. Sorry.

There is something remarkably appealing in this lifestyle and this culture. The authentic mini-communal life, the peace in their reality compared to the chaos in mine (American), and the brutal everyday life they live. I know it is difficult to prevent having an ethnocentric approach when exposed to other cultures, but the fact that there are videos like this, in which people are viewing, I hope, is a step toward more global understanding. .

Ya I find the simpler life more appealing too.. In fact I often fantasize about Just leaving everything behind and taking up a more straightforward lifestyle like these Nomads.

Thanks for sharing. I've been to Mongolia twice now and love it but I haven't seen the felt making. They work very hard but its so beautiful! I'll be going back again.

@Mongookloser Oy! never say Mongolia should join with china again! Almost every chinese is just greedy fool who has no appreciation of FREEDOM! just like disgusting cockroaches they multiply and devour everything. They know no shame. They dont know concept like "A Man should live with Dignity,Pride,Honor, and last Virtue" . We prefer to die than annexing with Chinese fools. Today's china is rich and powerful because 98% chinese are fools who only know how to obey and work like slaves till die.

@pask54 Explain to me a little more about "washing" the wool, so I can address your question or idea. Your response was posted after I answered someone's question about rainy weather. Are you asking about the step in the process in which they add water? If so, they weren't actually washing it. My impression is that that helped the fibers knot up while it was rolling.
