During winters, these Nomads slow down their migration towards green pastures setting for several days in the camp. Chums (tents), made by wooden sticks and reindeer skin, are built in couple of hours to protect them from the strength of nature.

Storms, in winter season, are very frequent and Nenets protect themselves wearing thick and traditional reindeer skin coats.
