I've got back into Mike Mitchell's videos recently. He seems to have got easier to understand, much less scatty and not talking about 10 things at once. I realised the other day I'd basically sat and watched half an hour of some random farmer I've never met driving round frozen Saskatchewan changing wheels and taking them to be repaired. When you put it like that it sounds a bit dull, but at least it's real I guess

I've just realised that all I watch on the TV now is either farming or metal working on YouTube, oh and back watching gold rush.

Not a fan of watching the new group after watching it for years they just frustrate me
Those ex army guys that are mineing now are just idiots and couldn’t find gold if it’s in a opened safe in front of them.
Whitewater gold is a little more interesting as its just possible that Dustin is on to something unlike Old Fred that may possibly taught those Army guys to mine🙈

Yer crazy to think how they used to get the gold out, I like how tiny keeps buying stuff from the past.
My main gripe is how they dramatise it all though especially gold rush

Parker has got so removed from his mining as well. Can’t say that he isn’t doing well but I seriously can’t understand how he’s not been properly lamped yet as very often he doesn’t come across as decent boss but more as a spoilt child.

I watch olf.....brilliant, my sense of humour. World weary but seems to be happy with his new wife and kid.
Lord Muck, ...really enjoy his videos done with a bit of pee take in them.
Tom pemberton.....seems a real nice lad
Farmer Phil.....interesting with his bulls for the factory and slurry spreading.
Funky farmer, good bloke who really describes uk family farming to his audience.
I can't get away with millennial farmer also Ollies farm (he gives the image that farmers can just go out and buy new gear as and when they want).
Watched Ollies farm earlier on and he has become such a t-t, has he done a days work in his life
