When we were in Siberia, we had a strict behaviour while camping, because of bears.
At home we washed our tent and thereafter never ate something in the tent. We cooked 100 m away from the tent and...

That's an interesting thought, although when I went along the BAM I feared the opposite: that the BAM would be closed down (after all the investments done, this would not be easy to justify...

I definitely dropped a brick, but thanks for the ethymology, I like it (but usually in other languages).

Nonetheless, the region was awful in 2011, with nonstop rain and awesome in 2012 on a sunny...

When I would have to name the most beautiful spot on BAM, I would choose the region of the Leprindo lakes and the Kodar mountains. It is really awful, if you have the right weather there.

Hi Gale

the statue is indeed in Berlin, it is a copy of Marcks "The Caller", the original was built for radio Bremen, it is a person of Homer's Iliade (but no major character), there seems to be...

The BAM will be as long ride-able as the railway continues to be serviced. There are usually two tracks, the old construction road and a track that leads directly along the rails. The latter is used...

Hi Walter

There is nothing too crazy, Russians wouldn't try.
I just tried to find some links, but you have to search by cyrillic letters and finally found some motor bikers (and even a video)....

Thank you Terry, but you knew it, we have met in Yakutsk, the first evening with Adrian.
But I have to return the respect, as I think I would not make it with a motor bike, handling is for sure more...

Sorry, I didn't find neither anything useful with a quick google-search. As it is related to the BAM, I'll tell a bit, what I know of it.
The 110 is a so called simnik (winter road), that connects...

Definetly not, Russians like hunting and fishing, so you even find them in remote areas. When we were on the plateau Ukok, which is said to be a quite remote area of the Altai, we were astonished to...

I would try first at the bridge (It's only 16 km detour in case). When I was there 27th of july, the guy even helped me pushing up to the bridge. So I think it depends on the guy in charge. I was...

Hi Geir

I think there were others having problems too, isn't this the Kamaz-eater-ford of the other Sibirsky report?
When I was there a motorbiker pushed through the stream, locals (with 2 WD...

Right, I just got accustomed to calling those short trains, that are running on the BAM elektritschka (irrespective if they are electric driven), but locals often say rabotschnik or so to it. They...

Some bridges are guarded, I assume Vitim bridge is among the guarded ones. So they wouldn't let you over the bridge, you could probably take the elektritschka, which stops at Vitim and then get off...

When the river is that high and you are on a car, you should be conscious, that you might have to cross it twice (a german 4x4-driver wrote me recently about that experience in 2011).
BTW when we...

Hi FechFech

trains on the BAM are not such a big problem, they are not so fast and you hear them usually far enough or see them.
I had only two encounters on a bridge, one was a kind of railbus...
