alaskan bush people star claims he invented "silent chopping" to avoid bear attacks, neighbors say he just wanted to skip chores
Yeah, so apparently the latest drama from the alaskan bush people is this guy claiming he invented a "revolutionary" technique called "silent chopping" to chop wood without attracting bears. AITA for thinking this is just a lazy excuse to avoid doing actual work? Dude says it involves wrapping the axe in a wool blanket and using "ancient Alaskan stealth." The neighbors are *not* buying it—they're saying he's been using this "technique" to hide from his family's endless chores, not bears. TL;DR: rich recluse uses bear paranoia to get out of splitting logs. Cue the eye rolls. 🙄
