I am Funtikov Alexander Antonovich, a local native village.
Grandfather and father - successful professional hunter sable and more.
School, army, college of physical education in Krasnoyarsk, then institute
of physical education in Moscow. Occupation - trainer. One of my students,
young biathlete Lubov Filimonova performed at the World Cup and the
Olympics 2010 in Vancouver for team of Kazakhstan. I am currently working
with a trainer "small" biathlon in my township Cheryomushki of Sayanogorsk
city Republic of Khakassia, where I live for more than thirty years.
I am written and published two books about our local life. The first -
"Kantegirsky Serpentine "co-written with my two rafters. The second -
"Durynda and other" much thicker and written by me casually one for one
winter. Dial Type in a Internet search engine word "Funtikov
Kantegir" and reach the vastness
of the site "Proza.ru" on my page. Both books are completely frivolous and
finely philosophical, serious people to read them nothing.
Also, I am a gardener, builder, fisherman, hunter, as if the artist
(there were, I even had solo exhibitions, also with frivolous direction:
like a foolish oil paintings in a strange style poluhiliganskaya
korneplastika, photoart).
Needless to say, I'm an sportsman, athlete now. Father of two
independent adult children and grandfather already.
Lest you think that I am pink, you know - I know how to express in
special cases, a couple of times a year. Drink beer in the bath. I smoke,
but only for rafting. Snore, they say. Occasionally softly, with a smile
on his lips, swear there are different authorities and domestic orders.
Began to weaken memory for memorizing parts female names. Quarrel with his
wife about the abundance of her suburban beds and frequent visits to her
mother in the village. Long swinging on some things. not observed day regimen.
I do not like to do repairs in the apartment. I forget the date birthdays
relatives and friends. Often the process is more important to me the result.
Fleet
Ends re my fleet. Thing of the past era PSN - rafts, which began
my "academy". We have them for 17 years, pulled down 5 pieces. You
can see them on my pictures in gallery.
Deactivate the same hat to them.
Now we - 100% drivers catamarans. This, of course, a big plus.
Sit higher; We, moreover, on the cylinders as there are different tie
down cargo on who sit on the stool. All higher from the water. Style
is not quite sporty, but have dry feet, who wants. Move on catamarans
can be easier, do not honk shoulders of rowing as rafting. As an increase
of "sportiness" catamaran - we knit narrow, so they look more aggressive,
they cling less unnecessary stones, especially in the upper Kantegir.
Since 2012, we almost go without "passengers", seating for catamarans
only 4 or 2 rower.
I now have in the arsenal of 9 catamarans - from large 4-seater up
small 2-seater.
I tried to use rafts and abandoned the idea. Once they
uninteresting, hard. Raft river just smooth.
Pricing
I, as a representative of a very small business with 20 years
of experience, who does not need to feed the office, there is no
competition on prices - they are, at least, and a half times less than
that of other medium-large tour operators.
I work on the principle - the best value for money.
68% of the price of tickets - a great fare and payment for
passage and fishing in the reserve. The rest - is the cost of inventory,
taxes and our salary.
Program by day:
1 day.
By bus at approximately 8 a.m. from Cheremushki (the town of Sayanogorsk)
to the reservoir Sayano-Shushenskaya Hidro Electric Power Station -
1 hour. Further boat - 3.5 hours to the backwater of the river Kantegir.
Then climb to aerolatte to the upper Kantegir 3 hours before the start
of the rafting.
Rest, fishing, fish dinner. Casting on an aerolodke is a rather
rapid and exciting event, in contrast to the heavy 15-hour auto-casting
of the previous 15 years.
2 day. The definition of crew,
the assembly of the catamaran instruction. The passage of the first section,
there are no difficult obstacles on this day and the crews have a day of
real practice. A lot of fishing, stopping at good fishing locations.
The group is at this day less than 10 km. Teaching beginners grayling
fishing. Stop at the parking lot near the mouth of the river Chinkilic.
Each camp is a big tent, certainly next to is a fishing hole. Dinner
with a rich fish menu.
3 day. Also a big fishing day.
From obstacles - thresholds "Penalty", "Science", "Arkasha". Pass also
dozens of kilometers, set up camp (a beautiful park "Brooklyn") and the
banks disagree fishing in the evening. For dinner-fish dishes.
4 day. Also fishing day in the
morning before lunch. We leave a little earlier than the previous days,
at 10 o'clock. After lunch, almost non-stop pass to the base "Kiselikha",
which was built with our participation in 1994. Or stop a little earlier -
on the new cordon of the reserve. The transition on this day is about 30
km. of the main obstacles - the threshold "Paradise gate" and a lot of
clamps. Here ends the territory of Tuva and the reserve, we are already
in the Krasnoyarsk region. We are placed in houses or tents. Steam the
bath. Traditionally fish dinner.
5 day. Before lunch we go
without fishing. Obstacle - clamp "Krasnorechenskiy", thresholds "Python"
and "Karbay". After lunch we go to fishing, or fishing on the go. The
longest jump - about 40 km. Camp in the parking lot "Tueski," on a sandy
beach. This camp we set not in the woods and on the sand, there are already
low level of above sea level and may cause ticks in the woods do not go
or go minimal.
6 day. A relaxing day with fishing.
The transition roughly 30 km away. this day we will have a long weak
threshold "Semishiverki" at the end of the rafting day. Parking "Last"
also on the beach. Dinner and, as it were, summing up.
7 day. Early ascent, the passage
of the remaining 20 km of the rafting. In the end-also not weak threshold
"Insugsky", after which we are waiting for the boat, unloading. Then go
by boat for 3-4 hours to the pier Joysky Sosnovka, then go by bus about an
hour in the Cheryomushki, where we arrive at approximately 15 o'clock.
Principles of relations in groups.
1. In our groups are all equal; we do
not have masters and servants. All together we do all the work on the
route: preparing to sail ships, set and remove the camp, preparing food
and firewood, clean the fish and so on. And try to do it without instruction,
as in an anthill when one finds a job, he sees - what work needs to be done
to help someone.
All this leads to the fact that the group becomes a group of friends
and comrades, and not stratified by classes and groups.
2. Do not be shy and afraid to turn
to the team leader. If you have a problem of a different nature, for
example, if your neighbor tent snores and keeps you from sleeping, on
other issues.
3. More smile at each other, not
afraid of difficulties of the route. After all, the other nearly 1,000
newcomers have already passed with the Commander of this river in the
beginning a lot will not understand, then you will see all abilities.
River at the beginning of the path has no obstacles and strong during
this time all learn to manage catamarans. A little confusion in the
first few kilometers happens at all. We were already foreign groups
and the language barrier is overcome quickly, for good proper rowing
need to know only a few words.
4. As part of the food on the rafting:
it does not have to be choosy. All eat what they give. Morning - usually
cereal and sandwiches with tea or coffee; In the afternoon we have a snack
on the go even without tea and simple sandwich cookies, candies; afternoon
tea on arrival at the new parking lot - tea with sandwiches and the costs
of fishing; dinner - tightly eat salads and usually fish dishes under the
light or medium drink, dinner is quite a long character..
5. If someone has a chronic disease
small, keep your first aid kit for your personal chronic diseases.
General first aid kit for the group there. With severe chronic diseases
and constant on the rafting is better not to go.
6. Do not take unnecessary things.
Person is able to spend a week with a minimum of things is that
listed on this site.
Complex trip.
Topic for distant residents.
In Khakassia, in addition to Kantegir, there are several interesting
tourist places. Therefore - it is worth recommending to you something like
a complex trip, once you get to our outskirts.
After the Kantegir rafting, you can go to Shushenskoye, not far away.
This is where the reference was Lenin V.I. There now there is a cool
"Siberian village of the late 19th century".
Then - the famous mystical-historical "Sunduki" (Chests), find in
the search engine. There, too, you can turn around for a day.
Right here we have the Sayano-Shushenskaya Hidroelectric Power
Station; Well, and a pirate harbor with a copy of Captain Jack Sparrow's
ship and not only that has already become a very popular sightseeing place.
Resting in civilization - you can and Ergaki (Krasnoyarsk region,
200 km from us), this is the megacenter of mountain tourism, where crowds
come from all over the world and Europe. Also look in the search engines.
2-3 day.
Or on the mountain range "Borus", this is next to our Cheryomushki,
you can climb to the main peak (2380 meters).
Giant white-white marble quarry on the mountain, which is sliced
from above on the sly. Also here at your side.
Also there is a class museum of local lore in Abakan.
You can stay at local hostels, hotels, inexpensive. On the above
routes work different local tour operators. We will easily help them
find you.
Everything is close.
About personal inventory.
List of all users have on my site.
On top of it, please do not take it. And then I saw in the recent past
from the superfluous: hammock, thick jackets, inflatable mattresses,
pillows!!! pilchards in tomato sauce, sunflower oil, sardines in oil,
and even eggplant caviar !!!! And so on..
Once again - we're there to feed the good fish in its various forms.
Let's go light.
And about things: if freezes - is pressed against the neighbors
and neighbor.
Still, we fused the summer, gentlemen.
And sometimes so many things, not enough bags and place on the
courts. Sailing as profiteers.
And yet, ladies and gentlemen. With regard to scientific and
technical progress. Buy yourself one hundred percent waterproof bags,
containers or bags banana. The coolest thing, you will serve for many
years, and not only on the rafting. Cost somewhere in the region of 1.000 rub.
Who do not need it constantly - all types like bananas for the period
of our route.
Practice shows that for Kantegir rafting for part of the
neoprene enough hydro socks. And that's all. I also went there fancy,
in a hydro suit, then hydro shorts. In the end, now take only hydro socks.
And what you suggest.
In case of rain - bring a couple of plastic raincoats, they cost pennies.
List of unnecessary things on the rafting.
Several sick eternal theme, to which from time to time have to go
back, because my desire for simplicity and ease of our baggage-rigging
consistently. Glancing past season, I saw in it the following unnecessary,
bulky items, towering mountain on my catamarans and my clients:
waders (absolutely unnecessary and somewhat dangerous thing
for the rafting, and unnecessary for fishing);
fishing suitcases, containers, covers with vast fishing rods,
reels, lures, fishing-lines, sinkers, lead.. All this produces, of course,
play their impression of paints and characterize their owners as versatile
anglers. I personally am in possession of a fishing rod, a few weights,
a piece of foam with mormyshkami 3-4 float, one spare spool of fishing
line. That's all. Enough. Yes, missing a telescopic rod. Especially
problematic carry with them no telescopic spinning rod, which protrude
from the catamaran as antenna;
clumsy rubber chemical protective suit. Your view them
certainly will scare you to present in a group of women, and fall into
the water in it somewhat dangerous;
do not take the rafting flags. This is almost an order. Bad
luck, confirmed my story, I can tell a lot of things on this topic. Any
flag here - the forerunner of the tragic incident, post them at the
balcony, please.
containers for fish - is also the one thing without which
I easily get around twenty years on Kantegir. How nice to bring to camp
catch kukan (childhood memories), when all seen and heard around the
sincere applause..
if possible - take light tent, without a huge vestibules.
Recommended tent Grinell (Ireland). Lightweight, compact,
mini-tamburchikom, waterproof, easy to clean up and put to one person.
utensils (cups and mugs) take those lungs better - plastic.
Mugs - with a wide flat bottom. Porcelain, ceramic and earthenware leave
home.
Shoes - take 3 pairs of shoes (or 2 pairs of shoes + shoes
or shale), more pairs of socks (7-8), the site is occupied by a little,
but you will always be a warm thought that you where something is left
dry shoes. It is always better to swim in one pair of wet shoes, sneakers
or shale; they can wear thick knitted wool socks, work type hydro socks.
Well, if you have a hydro socks, you already packed steep riverman.
Boots are not needed at all.
the total number of things one person must fit into one of
our usual size sealable bag 60 liters, I have issued; or in your sealed
bag. The usual pattern: a man drags link on this catamaran is the bag,
and more - some wallets, bags, boxes, cases, bags.. Bonfire, nightly
hundred grams of alcohol and mental neighbors will not let you disappear
even from the autumn chill. Siberia, then we have here - the southern.
So long live the healthy minimalism!
Marina with things
About the end of my financial obligations in Cheryomushki.
My financial obligations to the participants rafting start in
the morning the day of departure on the route and ends in the
village of Cheryomushki, where I now give them after the route.
And any other assistance organizational kind I all turns out, of course.
Meeting. Help to find accommodation. After rafting - drive off.
New routes!
1. Since 2011, offers a new
5-day rafting route (here including the days of getting to and exit) -
the rivers Ona and Abakan.
Ona River is clear mountain stream commensurate Kantegir River
in its middle and lower current, but much calmer and easier. Getting to -
simple: the river next to an asphalt road. So, in the morning before we
leave from Sayanogorsk to Abaza (3 hours), followed by another hour and
a half or two along the route Abakan - Akdovurak in a southerly direction
and you can assemblie catamarans.
The length of the rafting on the river Ona -
55 km, then rafting on the river Abakan -
80 km to the bridge across the river in the
area Askiz where the group returns to the bus Sayanogorsk-Cheryomushki.
May reduce the duration of the rafting, especially for corporate,
for some other groups, which are limited in time.
Passage of this route as a whole is organized by our principles.
2. Also suggest - rafting route
along the river Abakan from Abaza to Askiz length
60 km, the length of time -
3 day with arrival-departure.
The timing of new routes and corporate events - according to your wishes.
Threshold Karbaysky: effects of the earthquake
In February 2011, took place in Sayan not weak earthquake that
all of us here at the moment feel in their own skin.
It affected THRESHOLD KARBAYSKY, because its epicenter was just 60 km
away. Stones in the threshold somehow shifted. Threshold has become WORSE!
SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS! At first we tried to rafting pass, but after three
serious accidents in it (including after a hard coup), abandoned his
passing and future planned already lowered catamarans for lasso. Similar
bad moments and there were other groups. What was worked out over the
years I have to automatism - sunk into oblivion. I accepted a permanent
solution - go around the threshold! Previously, the risk for OUR NOT
SPORTING GROUPS was minimal, and now it has become too big!
I recommend the same and other non-sporting groups!!!
Any such changes have occurred in the threshold from a purely technical point of view?
Firstly - disappeared large water hump on the stone, which creates a
main pipe threshold. Earlier this hump water slows down the central
stream in the neck of the threshold and throws off our ships to the
right or left of the pipe (we went to the left). Now he's gone, the
speed of the central jet in this very narrow place (6-8 meters) has
increased dramatically, there were two oblique shaft not weak on the
left bank (which also began to cause harmful interference). Earlier
attempts to leave the left became unlikely, as the stern immediately
dramatically unfolds across the river and the catamaran is
sideways in a pipe.
Second - a pipe is longer (previously it was though very powerful, but
short), before we pierced her direct course even short twos. Now with
our two attempts to pass the threshold directly, our long and wide with
four second crest is reset back to the main stone and the beginning of
what is called a somersault: put on edge, turn the pipe to drop people..
Previously, this has never happened before..
So there we somersault, and then...
So, remind - MY PARTY - no sports (because of our specificity).
NOW THRESHOLD KARBAYSKY we bypass. Objections type - let's ride on it -
will not be accepted.
Disagree - please contact to other tour operators.
Previously, I repeat, almost twenty years, we were always here, there
was no bypass until it was real. Now that circumstances have changed
radically, had to take such a decision here. Common sense should be the
first place.
Ask me to understand.
The theme for adventurers
In recent years, occasionally we have started to appear "customers",
as I call them. They are few and they are all leaving after our route
partially unhappy.
And I don't like it, of course. That man left with Kantegir River
unhappy. This category of people can be called extreme, reckless drivers, etc.
As a rule, these people are "spoiled Chua and Katun Rivers'", so I have
them in joke call. Great rivers Chuya and Katun, of course, to do with.
Just the style of alloys is the "extraordinary and exciting" I don't
like. To put untrained people and once in patrocinio rapids, where they
flip, and then scream from the incident is not available for my
splashimage conservative Outlook.
So - the people there or visited for such alloys, where coups - the
usual fun valiant hohotali thing waiting for something here. They want to
go in the barrel, on the rocks, to scream, to squeak and to be proud of
such valor. They annoyingly ask about it, calling me and most members of
the group puzzled.
Therefore such operators do not need us. Go to the Katun, I Feel - where
flourishes such salavetti the alloys. There next car the road, your
belongings are going on the car along with you. While you bathe,
"kilates" (that's the word that these extreme athletes love to flaunt
at us, talking about his exploits and the word that I personally can
not stand).
Our journey takes away from roads and settlements. We are cut off
from all there fast help. Us floats a bunch of our things. Here, I
think, should be different style - neat.
We here have enough adrenaline in moderation, have the waves, rapids,
clamps. And those extra few percent of obstacles, which you beg, ask to
go to prikolnye sharp stones on the corners, etc. - sorry, that is not
our style. And tear for some dope equipment is not necessary.
We respect the river Kantegir and whatnot hoots and jerking off on her
we consider unacceptable. The river should be respected and even afraid of
her, I become her friend, not a customer to her. As it should be on the
river our companion and friend, not a client.
Kantegir - special philosophical River. Where should definitely in
the evening to sit on the beach alone and smoke a cigarette.
We, the local residents brought up by fathers and grandfathers.
It is necessary to respect any of the River and the forest.
Therefore, such extremals and cabs - you May think..
not worth it to us to go. In the end - once you are cool - all
can organize and pass the river Kantegir themselves.
And if it is difficult for you, and you are going to go with us
- remember the saying: "In another monastery with its Charter, not walk."
We have alcohol - strictly in the evening after the end of
the rafting day. Disagreements-also to other tour operators.
Results of the season 2019.
There are 4 groups, the first of them is foreign Spanish. Number of groups, including the conductor: 11, 11, 6, 4.
All the rafting took place on good average water. Fishing is good, caught everything, including Spanish macho.
Number of male client seats = 21, female = 7, total = 28.
At the beginning of the next season, the total number of client seats for 28 years of our rafting work amounted to 1150.
The sequence number of the next group in 2020 will be 97th.
We urge people to pay attention to August. In recent years, for some reason, we have too prevalent July. August is no worse, I assure you.
It is possible that next year we will host the 100th anniversary rafting, I dream to see their experienced friends that went with me on this remarkable river repeatedly. Myself I'll be wearing a jacket and tie.
