Firebox Guy goes hiking in the US in some beautiful countryside with his dogs and sometimes goats.. quite nice to relax too.

Maybe a bit low brow but watch the Dude Perfect guys with my son. Some of their stuff takes some mind blowing levels of skill and planning.

Just prepared to be jealous at their lifestyle.

zefrank1’s True Facts

Witty take on wildlife narration. (Seemingly) effortless (and humorous) storytelling along with some stunning wildlife-footage.

I have enjoyed watching both of these - probably only worth opening if you like sailing

Technology Connections - a delightful chap doing things like analyzing antique toasters or explaining how oldskool twinkling Xmas lights work - covers all sorts of different areas and very clear & engaging.

Wintergatan - or "One man's descent into madness" as it's known in our house! - this musician built a marble driven music machine. Then decided to build V2, bigger, better, to be taken on tour... Watch from the beginning, you can actually see him aging! The sort of thing that makes you want to learn to weld / get a CNC machine.

I quite like the hydraulic press channel, something very satisfying about seeing things crushed...

You don't say what you're into but I can watch some of the UK and USA woodworking and shed stuff, some great projects and tool use.

I'm a dinghy sailor and a lot of the coaching stuff by people like Rooster or the splicing and ropework stuff draws me in.

So I guess a lot of making stuff or fixing stuff features for me. I've found by saving bits I like in playlists I get a fair spread of decent recommendations (same with you tube music).

But after a while I might head for a nice Norwegian crime/murder book and switch YouTube off.

Real Engineering

Interesting to learn of Charles Fritt’s first selenium solar cell (shown mounted on a roof in NYC, 1884)

I’ve ended up watching a lot of Watch Wes work

Bloke runs a garage in Kansas, fixes trucks, cars tractors etc

And Twinstick Garage

Bloke in Alberta restoring tractor units.
Both are complete escapism for me, I’ve no mechanical skills, can’t drive a hgv or fix one.

Juice box for you, its kinda like dirty sanchez meets top gear, but with strong irish accents. Maybe avoid if youre a lover of spiders.

Bloke gets on bike and just keeps going.

Bizarrely, bloke playing a game called Rust (which I have never played!) with his mates.
