Awesome youtube channels

[mousey]

I have an office job, looking at a computer for eight hours a day, as such I listen to a lot of youtube content. Recently I have been finding it difficult to find interesting content that is new, most of the stuff it suggests to me I've already seen! So in a bid to find interesting new stuff [perhaps that I wouldn't find by myself] I want folks to post a link to [what they consider] to be awesome youtube content....

If it's bothering you, there should be a Thread Tools button that allows title editing. Dunno though, some people don't seem to have it and others do.

I thought that was a play on words at first as the video thumbnail was a lake...

I'm in the same situation but I generally listen to BBC iplayer radio content instead. I usually filter it down to the science and nature programs and give anything interesting a chance.

There are loads of audiobooks on Youtube though. I've been listening to a lot of old Terry Pratchett stuff recently but there's loads on there. I also like light hearted sciencey stuff like thebrainscoop https://www.youtube.com/user/thebrainscoop and fullycharged https://www.youtube.com/user/fullychargedshow/featured

Does the Fire Alarm drop you an email when it goes off?

You may already be aware of them but my top three at the moment are:

My Self Reliance (awesome cabin building plus thought-provoking life lessons)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIMXKin1fXXCeq2UJePJEog

Wranglerstar (tools, forestry and homesteading style stuff)
https://www.youtube.com/user/wranglerstar

Joe Robinet (bushcrafting, camping and general outdoor life) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCts-8ZqS339n-9nxy3DN8Cg

The fire alarm has only ever gone off once as the building genius put a coat rack above the 'mash the glass' call point, I had an apple in my coat pocket once and as I put my coat on the hook the apple pocket swung down and was just at the right height to smack the alarm . I have always avoided that particular coat hook since...

fellwanderer on youtube, always good for a laugh and entertaining too, Darren is a true bushcrafter and you can see how he enjoys it without being too serious.

primitive technology is a good one... might need to do more than just listen however....

 

[daveO]

dutchbushcraftknives is always good for a laugh if you're getting sick of bushcraft and survival channels taking themselves too seriously.

 

[Janne]

Yes, those guys are good.
I always wonder if they had herbal to smoke first though!

I find that both the dutch guys and Lilly do some good testing of stuff too.

I loved it when Lilly broke the tip on a Fallkniv, do not remember the model.

Another vote for primitive technology I can watch that guy all day.

Several episodes, a Swedish guy that builds his own timber house.
From scratch. In Swedish only, but you do not need it.
