It is better not to meddle in the taiga without proper knowledge and training, or in any case, without the accompaniment of a qualified person. This place, as well as its harsh furry inhabitants, does not forgive mistakes. At the same time, numerous winter huts are scattered throughout the taiga. They are intended for gamekeepers, hunters. A distinctive feature of such huts is that the door always opens outward. The question is why?
The taiga winter hut is not a luxury apartment. There is nothing superfluous and ill-considered in the design of the huts of the game. Even the fact that the door to the winter hut opens outward has a concrete justification. In total, there are four main reasons why the door in such houses opens onto the street. It should be noted right away that the traditions of local residents have nothing to do with it.
The first and perhaps the most important reason is protection from predators. For all their ingenuity, neither bears nor wolves know how to open the door by moving towards oneself. Some dogs are capable of this, but only after they see it from a person. At the same time, wolves and bears can try to break into the door, however, when it opens outward, it is extremely difficult to get inside in this way.
Second important reason: saving internal space. This may seem like a trifle, but in reality, in the context of a winter hut, having a free square meter inside the hut is extremely important. If only because most winter quarters are very small in size, not to say “modest”. Third reason - purely technical. The fact is that the door hinges outward is much easier to hang. This seems like a trifle, but in reality it greatly simplifies the construction of a winter house in an already difficult environment.

Fourth and last but not least, the reason is fire safety. The fact is that in an emergency it is common for a person to lean on and knock out the door with his body. This is especially important in those cases when the winter hut caught fire for some reason and an urgent need to leave the premises.
