deer meat for dinner, flair, weed em and reap, bama bass, paul cuffaro, ALL have ponds built by aquascape

my lottery dream is a huge natural recreational swim pond by aquascape. its a million dollar (usd) pond.

my retirement goal is a small/medium backyard pond, with fresh water fish that is self sustaining. with bait fish and predator fish that taste good.

I've seen deer meat for dinner before. I love watching meat eater.

I do like watching guga foods (mostly high end beef experiments), the bearded butchers (for learning about all kinds of protein), and american monster productions (robert obersts' channel).

I collect a bit of vintage car audio gear so Williston Audio Labs

what is it about that era of audio gear that makes it collectible?

I love true crime shit. I've recently found a new channel, and I think others here may like it.

Couple reasons.

For value it’s mainly guys that were into that equipment back then & couldn’t afford it. Now they can.

Second would be build quality. Most everything was made in the USA, is fully serviceable & lasts a really long time.

Third is arguably sound quality. Much more engineering money was spent on design & even more spent on quality components. Today most is made in the same Chinese & Korean build houses.

I still have Monolithic amplifiers from the 80’s that are going strong today.

That’s not to say there isn’t any quality gear out there today. You’ll just pay a premium for it as you would have back then.

I posted Mark Felton earlier in this thread. I’ve been really enjoying his content lately. He covers some cool stuff. That’s definitely one I can binge on

my grandpa used to build ponds with his dozer...probably about 300 over the course of his life, most at least 2 acres in size.

When he passed, Pheasants Forever bought his farm and turned it in to a State Park.

My son is obsessed (and actually quite sharp) with dinosaurs and paleontology, so we mostly watch videos on those topics. But I’ve seen some others, and I know what you mean about hit or miss.

my daughter LOVES paleontology!

do you have any suggestions?

the first two reasons make sense, especially the first one. Back then everything was hand-soldered US-made, which means parts are robust and the design is serviceable without a pick-n-place. Many years ago I did a study of computer PSUs and learned a lot more about discrete component designs and soldering types.

Seeing the Kicker amp takes me back to popping my buddies trunk in 1993. good times. loud cars and fast pussy.

lol are you actually into any of the fantasy books/shows that i dig or were you just being friendly/funny? (this vodeo was embarassing. i was just pumped after seeing the 10 minute preview last night and rambled. and instead of saying the shit i meant to say (such as how i dont watch reviews nornally, but i actually watched one for shadow and bone by IGN who gave it an 8) and instead i started just rambled about my upcoming videos and collabs. whoopsies

It was a mix of being funny since I opened YouTube and this came up at the top of my subs, and friendly because you have a successful channel and should be featured on this thread.
I’m late to the game with a lot of shows and stuff, so most of what you speak about I haven’t watched yet (or even know it exists), but you really love it, your passion is obvious, and that vibe is sometimes really contagious.

Yeah, strictly for value of components would be the first reason.

I included #3 as many/most mobile amps are class d designs nowadays. Early class d designs picked up a reputation for sounding horrible (think Alpine PDX) and that reputation has stuck with many older buyers. Back in the 80’s & 90’s class ab & very highly biased ab units were far more common. They were large & less efficient but sounded far superior to the early class d designs. That gap has been closed by the better class d designs today (think mmats) but still is argued vigorously on old school audio forums, hence my addition here.

The late 80’s through the 90’s were great times to be into cars. I had a built 66 Mustang for a hot rod & an Eldorado that competed in audio competitions. Fun times indeed.

How old? Our son doesn't watch a ton of stuff on youtube so I don't know many kid channels, but he has always liked the "I'm a Dinosaur" channel. It's a cartoon, but loaded with various dino facts. Tons of episodes too, and they range from short 10 minute vids to longer 30-45 minutes. He's going to be 8 this summer, so he is kind of out growing that one now though. The Paleo PBS Eons are good for kids, but may be too much if too young.

Most of his learning has come from physical books, and I can share some of those if you are interested in grabbing some for your daughter.

she'll be 8 this summer, and we do lots of Dino-Science trips. We went to a museum and met Dr. Alex Hastings (the guy who first discovered the Titanoboa), and he described paleontology as Biology + Geology. Since then, we've done a lot more "biology" or "geology" trips. She wants to move to Wyoming so we can hunt fossils.

Unfortunately for her, I've actually been to Wyoming.

That's awesome. We have done some similar trips while we're travelling to Colorado or Utah, we take the time to go to some places where he can learn about what fossils are found in those areas. We have a park here that has about 50 full scale/size dinosaur statues. They are spread out along a trail, so you run into to them as you keep walking along through the woods. It's pretty cool for the kids to see how big some of them were, and we've had 3 of his birthday parties there.

At 7/almost 8, your daughter may still dig the I'm a Dinosaur channel. My son literally memorizes all the facts he learns on there. I've always been blown away at how much information he retains about paleo and biology. It's been really cool to watch, and it's one of those things we've just continued to feed to him. Many of his dino books are getting worn out, he just pours through them over and over. I took two college level paleo classes while I was getting my first geology degree, and I'm pretty sure this kid knows more about paleo than me haha

i'm pretty convinced that if audiophiles actually exist, they're a lot more rare than the 'audiophile' genre.

preach it on cars. Crazy to think that 17 yos were rolling around with a built big block in Dodge Dart or a Honda Accord hatchback with a competition-level stereo that they assembled on their own money.

Yeah I grew up in the country. Started mowing lawns for cash at 12. Grandfather let me use one of the ranch trucks as I had to mow his & my moms lawn for "free" every weekend. Decided to pickup customers in between the two. By the time I was 14, I was making $200 every weekend but busting my ass doing it as these lawns were 3-5 acres a piece. Never got into video games or other stuff. Just played sports, worked on the ranches & earned enough money to have fun later in HS.

As far as audiophiles, I mostly agree. Once you are able to experience a proper 2ch home stereo or a good car with a nice DSP tune, it'll surprise you.

Did you subscribe to any new channels because of this thread?

I added mark Felton, but haven't had the time to watch yet.

And pbs eons. That one is great, wish I had it during the lockdown

Dark Docs does some interesting videos, tales from the history of warfare.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl3SuH2Ue044b7ACX1syk4A

This one is a good example, it's about the time during WW1 that British forces tunneled under the German lines and set off a load of mines near Messines in Belgium. Apparently the blasts could be heard in London, and over 10,000 German soldiers were killed.

Dark Docs is part of a collection of channels, each with a slightly different historical focus, but presented in a similar manner and narrated by the same guy. They seem to be well researched and are usually well worth a watch.

Dark Skies is about aviation history:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwx8xyh6ZlDI5ZQpbIWKnUg

Dark Space is mostly about the space race:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnQeUXQFuTDadzQzCcombzg

Dark Files goes into the history behind some amazing photos:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC75-YSrdnNBm7cUkwHsbWjg

Dark Footage is similar, delving into the stories behind amazing or interesting videos:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2t-COfa9R0rFsoLdEMr5FA

Dark5 is for the ADD generation, some amazing stuff presented in a "top 5" list. Good if you only have a few mins to spare:
