This man is a skilled basket weaver and those baskets are beautiful. Quite large and shallow, so they wouldn't be very practical for a lot of things and living spaces, but really very nice. Sometimes it is worthwhile to look around your home and ask yourself; what here hjave I really created? Not bought, or been given. What can I truly say that I have made, beyond the piles of laundry? This guy has created something. Maybe people value that thing, maybe they don't, but it doesn't change that.
Everyone's toes are prehensile. Most of us just live in a country where our bare feet never touch the ground, so they become stiff and useless over time.
I favorited this juuuuust in case I’m ever in a situation where I need to weave a basket to survive, and in which I also still have a charged phone with reception/wifi so I can pull this video up.
Kind of disappointed he did not simply continue weaving a man-sized basket cocoon around himself. Don't know what that could possibly be practically useful for, but would have liked to see the 3D function continued to its local limit at least

If I tried doing that I’d be a basket case.

This guy need a raise

Those are just regular toe-type toes.
RetrogradeLlama
I think that's just holding stuff down with your feet.

That man's calluses must have calluses.
DrMaggot
Those fingers and toes look like they have a month or two life expectancy at top if he does that every day.
cruiseyblahblah
didnt realize basket making was such hard work!
stauffalopagus
Do it underwater and then I’ll be impressed.
CuteLukePatoot
I was waiting for him to build the basket up around himself and have to crawl out. 😆

OP needs to look up the definition of "prehensile".
N0tDave
Elephants have prehensile cocks. Not sure why that's relevant. But thanks for teaching me it anyways, Internet.
Zephyroku
This happens a lot, you rekon he did this on purpose or accidental mistake? :P
ToasterDent
Posthensile toes is what the guy in the video has

No. Next question?

I’m more impressed with his squat mobility.
Unclescam
The fun part is that Americans are the weird ones for not having that mobility!

Target has these exact same baskets on sale for $10.
WhyWeDoThis
Tricle down economics which usa taught to the world
giordanom
I guarantee you this guy sells his for less than $10.
YuffieK
Which they bought from the guy for 10¢?

He got himself a real good slammin' rock

Wonderful nest building!
TinySmackGodMFERS
Can he do it under water though?

Just ask Paul Atreides.

Damn that knife is sharp.

Can you not move your toes? I pick up underwear off the floor and toss it up with my toes to try and catch it with my hands

You store live fish in them submerged in a stream so you have fresh fish handy if your gathering/hunting/fishing isn't good on a given day.'
neilwatkinsfromaccounting
thank you. I don’t know why but that is what I expected also
stevelite
At Crate&Barrel it would cost $100

You can get a degree in this, but they make you do it underwater.

when I was in college we had to do that in the pool, while holding our breath
saphire4higher
I see you opted for one of the more practical majors—a strong choice for being able to pay back all those student loans.
tibris
nah, it wasn't my major, I took it as an elective
