There are few modern conveniences in the village — with many buildings still having outdoor toilets and most people still burning coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveries are irregular, the power station starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town will shut down in about five hours, and the pipes will freeze and crack.

　　Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power. Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.

　　Even if there is coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves could not work in such cold conditions.

　　Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything up to three days.
