In photos and video footage released by the Kremlin, Putin -- who turned 67 on Monday -- is seen walking through the wilderness with his defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, picking wild mushrooms near a spot overlooking the banks of the Yenisei River.

During a trip in 2009, Putin was pictured riding shirtless on horseback and, two years ago, the bare-chested president was captured fishing in the Siberian wilderness.
