Sleighs

By comparison with today’s armies of gnomes, inflatables and sleighs with reindeer, we were sedate, which is to say boring, in a nice way.

Visitors of the lake, where fishermen break the ice on the surface and catch fish like Eskimos, take a ride with horse sleighs or walk around the ice-covered part of the lake, which look like glass since it has not snowed yet.

A necessity in a wolf-catching sighthound didn't exist, in addition to the old proved technique of batue with the use of baits, flags and other appeared new, way more effective—from airplanes, from propeller sleighs, with electronic lure whistles.

Fishermen would historically go to customary locations over the ice using horses and sleighs.

In winter, sleighs were used to move passengers and cargo from one side of the lake to the other until the completion of the Lake Baikal spur along the southern edge of the lake.

Modern day sleighs combine light metals, steel runners, and an aerodynamic composite body.

Some tribes used the dog as a draft animal to pull small travois (or sleighs) to help move from place to place.

The train ferries had to be replaced by sleighs each winter.
