His cabin videos were a bad joke, with him mislabeling tools (ex. he claimed a scandinavian felling axe with a short handle was central european and meant for carpentry - I have several inherited german carpenters hatchets, and they're nothing alike), showing unnecessarily dangerous practices and generally repeating cliches everybody who's done some research shouldn't fall for. And I'd be willing to bet that once his cabin unavoidably starts losing it's chinking and the roof starts leaking in a few years, he either won't mention it on the channel or claim that this proves how cabins were temporary structures - nevermind that properly build cabins lasted decades or sometimes even centuries without major repairs.
And of course, his tree felling video (taken down by now) was even worse - not only did the guy doing the felling make every mistake imaginable (using a splitting axe, cutting to deep on the notch, stepping into the tree's fall direction, trying to stop the falling tree with his hands), Jas then went on to claim that accidents like that, where a perfectly straight tree falls in the opposite of the inteded direction, were supposedly common and would show that axes were just unsafe compared to chainsaws.
Which is a load of bull. If you know what you're doing, axes are at least as safe as chainsaws, and I'd claim that they're even safer, as a glancing blow hitting your leg won't kill you, while a kicking chainsaw might (even with safety equipment, I've seen helmets split even when the kickback brake worked).
And even when he took the video down (after many people pointed out his mistakes), instead of admitting that he messed up, he whined about how he was trying to reconstruct the past and could not have known better. as reference, last time somebody asked about felling with an axe here, he had explanations in a day.
