Extremely rare double gate closing mechanism! #countrylife #rurallife #farming #walking #cycling
Sort Of Interesting posted 15 videos, finding plenty to inspect in the ordinary furniture of a countryside walk. A repaired stile, rural post boxes and a flooding river measured by hand all made the upload list. But a double-gate closing mechanism supplied the week's most watched new video, reaching about 117,000 views.
Its title, "Extremely rare double gate closing mechanism! #countrylife #rurallife #farming #walking #cycling," bills the arrangement as an unusual find. The comments turn it into an informal engineering discussion. Some viewers suggest controlling livestock passage; others point to access for bicycles, pushchairs or people who cannot cross a stile. Several focus on whether the arrangement prevents both gates from opening together. Those are proposed explanations, not a settled answer, and their variety is part of the interest.
The gate video is also bringing in the most daily views on the channel right now. Elsewhere, countryside observation takes a playful technological turn with "What resolution is real life? #videogames #gaming #hiking #gta #technology" and the mountain-signal joke "How to improve phone signal on a mountain? #hiking #walking #rural #Smartphone #joke," both among its busiest uploads at present.
Across the channel, daily viewing is more than twice its usual pace, while the subscriber count grew by about 1,000 over the week. Modern Farm and Ollie Craig are having slower-than-usual days; Warden Files has a much larger weekly audience in this nearby outdoor group. Sort Of Interesting's particular contribution is smaller-scale curiosity: enough questions in a pair of gates to get people comparing notes.

Okay that’s a little more than sort of interesting
@KellenSanchezmeowSee it on YouTubethe gate is still useful for pushchairs and bicycles.
@NilZed1See it on YouTubeLooks like the set up should make it very hard, If not impossible, to fully open both gates at once. Quite useful for ensuring the gates are not held open or left open.

As a german, I'm so happy to hear such an amazing dialect. I can't fully comprehend the heritage of your speaking, but it sounds so round an calming yet so exciting, that it brings me joy just to hear you talk.
What I actually wanted to say, I just discovered your account and I'm sure, that I will stay for quite a while!@lasse5179See it on YouTubeThere is actually a very similar two gate weight system near where I live, but the fences don’t look that new.
