What random things do you like to watch on YouTube?

With all the time spent indoors this year I've really got into a few things on YouTube that pass the time in quite a relaxing way...

It got me thinking about what else might be on there that I haven't even discovered yet.

What random stuff are you into watching on YouTube?

Mine are:

  • A Canadian guy who runs an antique store and who occasionally buys hoarder houses and clears them out while looking for antiques and vintage finds
  • A series about a British family doing up a French chateau (they do it very in keeping with its original style)
  • A woman who goes mudlarking on the banks of the Thames, you go along with her to see what she finds

I wish Alex would buy himself a proper mask so his allergies wouldn't be so bad.

More mainstream channels we like:

Evan & Katelyn (both their main and gaming channels)

TheTimTracker - although Corona has meant they go a lot less places and I don't care for the home vlogs

AdamTheWoo - also suffered a little from Covid stopping some of his antics.

@Clutterbugsmum I know...he looked so rough the other day!

I said to DH yesterday that it makes me want to move to Edmonton to have him as my neighbour as he seems like such a sweet guy and I loved the episodes buying Hans a house!

@perhapstomorrow

Got a bit obsessed watching a lady in China living with her grandma who makes everything from scratch. From growing veggies in her garden to cutting bamboo to make a table. Just mesmerising.
Yes!!!!!!!

They are so beautifully done!! Did you see the one where she collected wool, made skeins, dyed it using berries, and made a cloak....

Her, and The Sorry Girls

Love this thread.

I like 'The And/Skin Deep' videos. Two people - usually couples but sometimes siblings or parents and children discussing their relationship by asking each other deep questions.

I also watch a lot of This Country and Extras clips and compilations.

@SquirtleSquad

I watch a woman doing her make up whilst retelling true crime stories, murders..etc it's fascinating
Yes! I just came across her the other day and loved it. She never talks about her makeup, she just does it while telling a true crime story. We end up watching a lot of shite but the best of the shite is Ozzy Man Reviews, he's a good laugh. DH watches fortnite gamers like Lachlan and Fresh. DS watches clayclaim, a Swedish dude who makes extremely detailed replicas out of fimo clay. Also dash cam videos.
Clutterbugsmum · 02/01/2021 22:46

Yes and the before he helped a man called Adam to stop being homeless and back to his family in another part of Canada.

I agree he seems very friendly and always wants the best for his family and friends.

I'm a sucker for animal rescue videos. I like Hope for Paws particularly. Also Brad Mondo Blush

Demolitions. High rise flats, chimneys, cooling towers.... I love how they just crumple and the landscape’s changed.
