Confession: I am retired and watch more YouTube videos than most humans.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

I watch fishing, hunting, vintage cars, vintage motorcycles, backpacking videos, boating, guns, etc.


Here is a video I just watched that I thought was inspiring where a young gal hikes in, makes a camp and with a fire.

These videos are called "Bushcrafting" and they just seem so interesting.

What kind of YouTube videos do you watch?

[John H]

I watch YouTube videos on how to fix and do things. I watched one today on how to clean clams. I watched one last week on digging them. For almost anything I am trying to figure out how to do I watch a YouTube video. I often do whatever it is I am trying to do first, find that it is not working and then watch the video and try to do it right the second time.

I don’t like to watch trip videos. It takes the mystery and discovery out of life.

Thanks John

I watched a lot of videos on clamming up on the beaches of Oregon and Washington too.

I love the DIY or 'How to' videos as well.

I rebuilt an air cooled VW motor by watching a series of videos recently.

I watch flyover videos for the most famous Northern California rivers and dream (plan?) of my next fishing trip!

Sacramento River flyover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JECS3oUS1j4)
Klamath River flyover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVvBxDCdk8M)
Russian River flyover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyX57a38fOA&t=3s)
Feather River flyover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ygrcL8r58)
Smith River flyover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByIZno0myQo&t=1s)

and many more!

Yup. mostly "How to fix it" videos. If I get sucked into the fishing videos, hours seem to disappear.

These motivating films can therefore be useful. They serve as a reminder of the underlying realities rather than providing the answers. Click Here (https://www.zodiacsigns-horoscope.com/chinese-horoscope/dragon-2023/)

There are tons of YouTube videos on knots alone.

Zillions on fly tying.



Recently I rebuilt a 1974 VW Beetle air cooled engine from watching dozens of great videos by real VW mechanics.


I am retired and when the weather here in Florida is not good for fishing (real cold and/or windy) I can watch videos.


No need for libraries anymore, it is all on the Internet.

I did a full remodel of our house over a few years- every time I had questions, You tube university took care of me.

I too have learned so much from online videos. I am "confident" I can repair or build anything.

I recently found out I have been tying my shoes wrong for 70+ years (as have most people). I watched a 2 minute video on TED.com by Terry Moore on how to properly tie your shoes- and I am a changed man.
