Ideally a door should open out.

If your door opens

inward design a way to keep it from being pushed in.

Put an eye bolt through the door and chain the door to the outer wall.

Build a bracket that will allow you to insert a 2 x 4 across the door.

Block a 2nd door from the inside with 2x4 brackets lag screwed into the wall.

This construction will allow a bear to easily enter your cabin.
