What YouTube channels do you watch frequently?

I'm being curious here as I don't watch any normal TV anymore and only watch stuff on YT.  So here's my list:

  1. Mentour Pilot
  2. Blancolirio
  3. VASAviation
  4. TYT
  5. Salvage Rebuilds
  6. MSNBC
  7. Stephen Colbert (The Late Show)
  8. Vice Grip Garage
  9. Escape to Rural France
  10. 74 Gear
  11. Casino Guitars
  12. Ragical the hollow knight
  13. Carwow

 

 

Honorary mentions:  The Blackbelt Barrister, Law&Crime Network, all the channels making fun of SovCits and Flat Earthers and anything to do with music, guitars or planes.

Ha Threep, I watch a Japanese guy who cleans and repairs guitars.. one hour videos, says nothing but it's really soothing to watch.  Some of those guitars are the filthiest things I've ever seen, a proper health hazard.

Harry's Garage is the best car channel going at the moment imo. Really great mix of in-depth vintage restoration stuff, and real world modern car reviews. 

Forgotten Weapons. I have zero general interest in guns but still enjoy watching this guy give me painstakingly detailed history of prototype military trials guns from 1926.

James Hoffman for coffee nerdery

John Rogers is a guy who does walks round London and talks about history, enjoy his videos. 

Yeah, I've seen James Hoffman.  My uncle was a coffee "collector" which I thought was a really weird hobby, he was very proud of some that was more valuable than gold and I think the beans had been through some birds digestive system... He only gave me Nescafe..

+1 for David Bull. Amazed that someone else on here watches, can't remember how I became aware of him. There's a touch of Bob Ross about him. Love his Twitch channel too. 

Sampson Boat Co

Incredible channel showing the meticulous rebuild of the gaff cutter Tally Ho

 

Andrew Camarata

General contractor out in the NY Catskills who's made a fortune from YouTube and seemingly spent it all buying every machine under the sun

I'll admit I have watched Harry's Garage but I don't love the channel, I think he waffles a bit.  Taking the Land Rover Defender to France was the most recent one I watched.

The two boys on Salvage Rescue (Rob & Chris) crack me up (I'm not sure they intend to be but they're really funny)

anyone else watch Aquaholic and dreams of owning those yachts?  I had to stop, my yacht obsession was getting too much (it helped when SuperYacht Captain retired).

ahh ok. I have seen a bit of sovcit stuff, but it gets a bit samey. 

Fast forward to the moment where the Cop runs out of patience, smashes the drivers window in and the sovcit starts screaming and crying. Thumbs up. 

RR, there was one on VanBalion last week that was hilarious.  The cops started playing SovCit bingo with the guy and he couldn't understand what was so funny.. I think they broke his brain.

 

1 The Flight Channel

2 Airspace

3 Dutch Pilot Girl 

4 Allec Joshua Ibay

5 Mini Air Crash Investigations

6 No Sediment

7 Attorney Somm

8 Konstantin Baum

 

Two rather distinct themes going on there. 

Wendover Productions

Technology Connections

Charles Dowding (mostly compost themes)

GCN (although less and less because the programmes got too long) 

Just watched part of an episode of The Cafe Ride and think I might give that a bit more airtime. 

Geoff Marshall - Videos about railway stuff 

Partridge Exterior Cleaning - A bloke from Burton on Trent who posts videos of him pressure washing roofs, driveways and random stuff like old planes and tanks. 

Windy, if you like Geoff Marshall, you'll like Jago Hazard.

Quick question about Geoff Marshall.. Vicky suddenly disappeared from his videos.. what happened there?

Caroline Winkler

She is like a walking stereotype of a batshit mental urban US millennial  woman but she knows it and there are great flashes of self awareness. 

Tom Scott (no longer, alas)

Paolo from Tokyo

Beard Meets Food

Mike Boyd

The Running Channel

James Hoffman

Map Men

Storrer

GeoWizard

Ambient Worlds (listen to, rather than watch)

Pancakes, I've seen some of the post 10 vidoes. They are good but he does tend to go on a bit in the more recent ones. 

Eddie, apparently they got divorced. I think there is a note about it on one of the tabs on his youtube page. Will check out Jago Hazard thanks. 

At the moment:

  1. 44 Teeth - British motorcycling youtube. High production value. Top Gear with a bit more edge.
  2. James Hoffman - espresso daddy. 
  3. Obsession Engineering - motorcycles again. 
  4. [Alarming number of firearms related youtube shorts]
  5. [Various electronics / motorcycles / car maintnance how-to videos]

Map Men don't post frequently enough (they're connected to Geoff Marshall through the Londonist).

Thanks Windy, was wondering if she was on the market.... lol.  Oh, there's a good channel from the London Transport Museum, I think it's called "hangouts" where they explore the hidden parts of tube stations (for the ultra nerdy to be fair but often interesting)

I guess

  • MXR
  • Legend of Total war
  • Mercy the Mad
  • Jumbo Pixel 
  • History Buffs
  • Drachinifel
  • Harry Partridge 
  • Hoof GP
  • What darren plays
  • Potato mcwhisky
  • spiffing brit
  • PrimevPrime
  • various Lofi music channels (vic 3, CK3, starfield music etc)
  • Lazerpig
  • Anders Puck Nielsen
  • Perun
  • Andrew Huberman -rarely watch through though

probably a couple more I am forgetting

 

Yup and whilst Dunning Kruger tells me that I could jump into an A350 right now and fly it from London to New York..  I know I wouldn't get lost over the airport...

TXG Golf - taught me tons about the physics of golf.

XiaomaNYC - v accomplished linguist talking to people in their own languages. 

Cracking the Cryptic - particularly their sudoku vids. 

Well he is a good ol' southern boy so that wouldn't surprise me but I think he's quite conscious now of not opining that much on matters of national US politics (apart from 2A obviously) and instead just having a pop at California.

  1. Wrestleme - some good videos from the glory days of WWF which they normally rip the p*ss out of. They have a podcast as well
  2. Wandering Turnip - goes round English towns looking at the death of the high street
  3. Geowizard - especially his straight line challenges
  4. Trek Trendy - does a lot of flight/cruise/train reviews. Starting to grind my gears a bit now though
  5. Solo Solo travel - Japanese guy who does a lot of train journey reviews in Japan
  6. Partridge Exterior Cleaning - as mentioned above a bloke who basically just pressure washes stuff!
  7. Aquaholic - again mentioned above, good to perve at super yachts
  8. Boats.co.uk - as above but is a boat broker.
  9. Matts Planet - a small youtube channel but he is quite endearing. Does flight reviews and is a complete aviation geek - documents his "Tier Point Runs" which is basically going on a complex flight itinerary just to get airline status
  10. Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips - probably self explanatory
  1. Abroad in Japan (& some related channels).
  2. Nomad Capitalist
  3. Sean Foo (economics & geopolitics)
  4. Katherine's Journey to the East
  5. Critical Drinker (best movie reviews ever)
  6. PJW
  7. Eurasian Naval Insights
  8. Craig Hamilton Parker (for a daft laugh to see if any of his predictions ever actually come true). 

Recently been watching an old documentary series 'Sacred Weeds' which is pretty interesting.  

Lechuk, you'd like Nautistyles if you're in to yachts, they're currently having one built in Turkey, it's a 75 footer but cleverly designed like the Princess X95

I watch quite a lot of silent hiking stuff, either to reminisce about hikes done or get a feel for future ones. Some of the stuff shot on good kit in 4k looks stunning on a decent OLED TV. Normal TV can't really compete.

E.g. Kraig Adams, who doesn't talk over the main bit of the video but does give useful info at the end about doing the hikes yourself.

Will be trying to do this one in a single day in about a month's time:

Buzz, I have a feeling you'd like Todd in the Shadows (One hit wonders and Trainwreckords).  He doesn't post enough but he's brilliantly sarcastic and funny.  

Dave's World of Fun Stuff (guitar repairs).. he was funnier when he was clearly smoking a lot of weed.. but still funny

@HighGuise.. Watch "the United Stand"  As a Liverpool supporter, I never miss an episode of him melting down.  It's the funniest thing on the internet.  The 7 nil beating last season was particularly good.

 

 

@threepwood

Could’ve been that or one of the “David’s choice” episodes. 

Not only is he very engaging to listen to, it’s rare to come across anyone with that level of enthusiasm and joy in a subject. It’s an antidote.
