Hi Swaggers,
Lately, I'm feeling bored with my current Youtube subscription list.
Who are you watching on Youtube lately? I'd appreciate some suggestions. Doesnt have to be related to camping etc - but I'd love to hear who you enjoy watching on that front too!
Cheers!

I liked Michael from Seek Adventure before he hung up his boots, was glad to see you helped him out with a video too!

Yeah Michael is great. Hopefully he might start up again, but I did talk to him about a month or so ago and he was not too interested at the time sadly :( He's enjoying his camping a lot more with no cameras around.
That video he did with us was awesome!
-
Biking with Bobo - NSFW
-
I'm enjoying Trip In A Van. A young family living the dream and travelling full time.
Very likeable personalities, they visit some magic spots around Oz. Great photography and videos too!

I think he should go down the Mark Rober (another YouTuber if you haven't heard of him) route and just aim for 1 video a month (if that), that way I think he'd likely find enjoyment in it again as opposed to it becoming a chore.
Another one you might like (with a young fam) is Trip in a Van, guessing you have already seen it though. The Way Overland was also another favorite before they got thrown in jail in Iran and then were part of a prisoner swap between the Australian and Iranian governments :o
edit, just saw brickiematt recomended Trip in a van as well.
-
X 2 for Trip in a van
Also Overland travels are a good watch
-
Hunting with Stu.

Trip in a van
YBS Youngbloods (he is a bit of a lunatic but the spots are awsome)
-
If you like watching a bit of car fabrication - Bad Obsetions motor sport (project binky and escargo)
-
I have grown to like a bloke from WA called 'Wild Touring' - his wife, his young daughter and he have just set out on a lap of Aus. Still raw enough to feel real and achievable, so very relatable.
-
Just a couple we watch
4wd 24-7 (used to be 4wd action )
Sick Puppy 4x4 Adventures ( couple of blokes being blokes in north qld )
Trip in a van
The Explore Life ( do some great trips based Gold Coast some good content )
TJ Jack
Sam Eyles ( built not brought ) and his chassin lines series on YouTube is worth a watch
One day we should ( six wheel bt50 towing a van traveling Australia )

Yes I forgot that one
He's great & as you say knows how to shoot

A lot of my subscription list has already been mentioned but to add a few:
- Big Oz Explorers - Similar to Trip in a Van but not as 'sponsored' as some of their videos are becoming
- Dangar Marine - For anyone into boating
- John Malecki - Ex American NFL player doing awesome woodworking
- Luke Towan - Miniature modeling. I have zero interest in taking this up as a hobby but his creations are unreal
- Colin Furze - Absolutely worth a watch if you have never seen one of his builds
-
For a new take on cooking shows try nat's what i reckon
-
Another for Bad Obsession Motorsport and 'Project Binky'.
I'm also a fan of Acorn to Arabella, a couple of guys that are building a wooden ketch on a shoe string budget and making the lot themselves, from back yard casting the lead keel, dropping the trees and sawing the timber and even making the bronze rivets.

Marty T is a kiwi bloke that buys old farm equipment and gets it going again https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp-mnssZd4X2bgIcekaNfgA (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp-mnssZd4X2bgIcekaNfgA)
Millennial Farmer I like too, showing the daily goings on and challenges of running a grain operation in the US. He's got a sense of humor with it.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp0rRUsMDlJ1meYAQ6_37Dw (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp0rRUsMDlJ1meYAQ6_37Dw)
They had a big storm go through Iowa last week (didn't make the news here), but some of the destruction is worth a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAkr3ion2zI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAkr3ion2zI)
And Dangar Marine. Aussie bloke with a how to fix your boat on a budget channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBsXuIe0nBO3Bi2JmtVk1ZQ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBsXuIe0nBO3Bi2JmtVk1ZQ)
Probably my favorite is Beau Miles, he's a uni lecturer, but does adventures and documents them really well. He doesn't often release stuff, but its worth watching for the insights and it can change your view of the world. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm325cMiw9B15xl22_gr6Dw (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm325cMiw9B15xl22_gr6Dw)

Slightly off-topic, do others think the shine starts to wear off a little as they become a bit more popular and then often little more advertorial like, I don't begrudge them making money, and they are providing me with essentially free entertainment so I wish them every success in the world, but often the more successful they get, the more they seem to push the "sponsors" products.
Also in tandem with this, is the setups they start rocking become unobtainable, i.e. Trip in a Van's latest car and van setup would have to be approaching $300K, again the best of luck to them it's about them and their lifestyle, not just made just for my viewing pleasure, but it's just a bit less relatable IMHO.
There are some successful YouTubers who from my perspective get the "sponsors" right, Mightycarmods would be one of those, they have businesses support their channel, and they are very upfront about it, they are also all businesses/products they also used before they supported them. Similarly, Tentworld helped out on one of the Seek adventure vids, and he had previously said he used them in one of his vids about pegs.

You watch ads? Between YouTube Premium (Indian one for 189 rupee a month for the family plan) and AdBlock, I am surprised when I occasionally see an ad when someone else is watching YouTube.
189 rupees is about $4, figure the content supporters still get some support this way.

nope mute em, or Skip as soon as it shows its head.

AdBlock Plus and AdBlocker for YouTube. I'm always surprised when ads pop up when watching the tubes on my phone, I forget its a thing.

I've been using adblockers for so long now that I never realised that youtube even had ads as I had never seen an ad. It was only until a couple of years ago that someone was complaining about youtube ads in a forum that I realised "youtube has ads - really!" At first I thought that they must of had spyware on their computer. These days I use "ublock origin" after adblock sold out, on Waterfox(offshoot of Firefox)
As for youtube channels, have a look at "Roaming the Outback". Brett visits some interesting places, many of which most if of would not have on their itineries I guess.
-
I think people are complaining about ads within the video, not on the site.

Overland Obsessed are great, down to earth and not the best of everything, i love their minimal approach and have changed a lot of our things similar to their set ups (cooking, cutlery plates etc)
Overland Travellers are another good one as well
-

But lastly we We find a near complete 1965 Nissan Cedric! someone please come and save it!!
The nissan is real nice find!

Has anybody mentioned Harry's Garage?
If you are into exotic cars its a good place to go.
The recent detailed rebuild of the engine on his Lamborghini Espada was interesting. No fancy electronics on what was a very fancy engine for its time. Just a distributor and carburettors.

JCS - Insights into Criminal Psychology
A really amazing insight into the criminal mind, as seen from the tapes of the police interviews and stings etc of the perps.
Each show also includes very skillful narration and analysis from the you tuber regarding the detectives interview techniques, and the perps body language, etc, etc... and how the cops break them down, to extract their confessions...
If interested - start with watching:
The Curious Case of Dalia Dippolito ...
=======================
Comedy - potty mouthed
Bill Burr
He comedicly looks into the soul and heart of relationships and attitudes of men to women ...
Start with this question/rant from him:
"Who ever said there was never an excuse to hit a woman"?
(About the foul language - "you have been warned", ok...)
