dude sounds like he's trying to be quiet because there's a bear outside

So here I am, 0300 in the morning, learning how to bear-proof my non-existent cabin.

As a cabinetmaker of nearly 50 years I have a deep respect for the work you do on your place. I can tell that you love doing it.

So 1.9 million people saw "bear-proofing" clicked and thought, "ya never know."

The 1.3k dislikes are just angry bears who couldn’t get in his house.

You shouldn't have posted this video. Bears will see it and know how to enter your cabin

Plot twist: The bear's the one holding the camera and narrating.

For doors opening outside, that’s the norm in Finland. It also leaves you with more interior space.

I've been a carpenter for almost 40 years... You make me look like a novice... Incredible skills, very impressive

This guy: Log cabin
Me: Looking at my poorly constructed IKEA desk.

@tucker2074 6 years ago

Having the doors open outwards adds more safety to bear proofing, if they opened inwards a bear in a sustained attack could push them in, much respect on your work

I love how he explains his plans for cutting his door lumber with his new chainsaw, and casually says that the saw wasn't powerful enough to even mill smaller pieces, let alone the sizes he actually needs. Then with no change in tone, and without sounding the least bit disappointed, he explains its not a big deal because he knows how to mill them down manually.....

In a world where talentless people are made famous for talking about puerile subjects that keep our kids brain dead, we have got extraordinary people like you that fly under the radar. The ingenuity, talent and discipline of your work is highly underrated. Thank you for sharing your talent Advoko.

Doors open out because bears dont have thumbs.

I am truly mystified as to why there would be any dislikes on this video. This man is gifting pure knowledge that might otherwise be forgotten in this brave new world.
