A few days ago I found myself falling down the YouTube rabbit hole, and came up with the first "hidden gem" channel i've happened upon in a long time (ok, 400k subs isn't really a hidden gem but it's outside of my typical youtube wheelhouse). Basically it's a documentation of the restoration of a ghost town a couple co-investors sunk their life's savings into. Cerro Gordo was a silver mining town 3 hours between LA and Vegas that has been completely deserted, left without running water, and is littered with history. Watch Brent as he learns how to do pretty much everything from construction and restoration, to hiking mining and exploring lands that have gone years untouched. Wanna support some of his work? Cop something like this bandana for the cause!

This five part video series comes from a YouTube channel called “New England Forests.” It’s awesome. The guy films, edits, and narrates everything himself. He’s a total gearhead, so the footage is stunning, but I don’t think he always records audio, so he will sometimes use these canned, lowres sfx. That being said, he seems to witness every living thing that goes on at the pond, because it’s not just about beavers - it’s about the whole ecosystem that forms when a stream gets turned into a pond. You will learn a lot about ecology, and also about one guy’s ability to really make something happen with his spare time.

Low Tech Magazine runs on a single solar panel. We take for granted just how much energy is needed to keep up with our digital footprint. The tenet of the magazine is to radically reimagine our technology in more sustainable ways. The website has solar panel data so you can see how charged the website is. Running on solar means the website does go offline at times when the sun isn't out. In a world where access to information is so ubiquitous, it's really cool to have a website that isn't always going to be online.
