This popped up in my YouTube feed yesterday. It must have pleased the algorithm. All could I think, at the end, when they gave him all those gifts is "buy this man a god dang window!" Having to chop trees and gather wood 3 times a day just because his cellophane window and no one thought to fix that for him?

    Same. I did look for a book about a familly found deep in Siberia in the 80s.

    Same here. Watched it and did not regret it. Something moving about that man in such harsh climate find solace living there with his dogs while we discuss latest react or python library.

      Idk about solace, he needs to maintain log stash among other things 24/7

        Yes, solace is just a way to put it. I hope the docu visitors helped him with a proper insulation for that celophane window which is one of the reasons the log stash isn’t sufficient for a whole day. In the end he chose to be so far away from any other people so there must be some kind of consolation for living in such isolation and harsh conditions.

  Same, just got this in my feed yesterday. I've watched a few bushcraft videos before, but that's a while ago.

Supposedly it's because bears break the windows at which point he's back to square one. Still i can't imagine there isn't a better alternative.

  Some metal bars could fix that?

    Maybe.

Yes. Instead of giving him food, just give him a proper window. His quality of life would skyrocket.

It's in the comments that they didn't know he needed a window and are indeed fixing it. Also why'd we all end up watching this same video before HN had it up?
