I tried not to judge him, I think building a cabin to show the world how it's done is as valid cause as any. But I realize that maybe I did secretly judge him because I have had some great moments with my grandfather building things around a cabin deep in the Swedish woods long before smart phones were a thing. But I didn't appreciate those moments when they happened, because young and restless, and if I could have made a YouTube channel out of that I absolutely would have because that would have been more fun. But I think that by doing so I would have missed out on the experiences that I now cherish since grandpa is long gone. Don't know where I'm going with this, I think it's cool that op is out in the woods building shit no matter what his experience is and I don't even think I can fully understand how it is to be young now and have youtube/social media as a natural part of life. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But in this builder's case, he's there for days and weeks, so I don't think much is lost having to sometimes adjust a camera. And if his goal wasn't to live a year in solitude, being able to share his experiences with others (like us) can also be rewarding.
