Your right, I don’t want to watch 1000 hours of prepper videos. That why I asked for GOOD videos.
I think a video would be most useful for demonstrating some technique that pictures or diagrams in a book don’t really demonstrate well enough.
1.I’ve had some first aid classes so I remember the hands on well enough to do with the book. However, I would like a video on suturing up a wound and whatever might be related to that.
2. With no power a slide rule could be useful for some things. I’d like video(s) on slide rules. I do have some books containing logarithm tables.
3. Videos on all aspects of handling guns, shooting, disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, gun safety. Preferably videos of the specific guns that I have.
4. tying knots, those diagrams just don’t do it for me!
5. basic self-defense.
6. both types of canning. I helped my mom some but that was a really a long time ago.
7. Everything about steam engines, steam locomotives, etc.
8. steam and water wheel powered electrical generators, construction, operations, troubleshooting and repair.
9, operating metal working machine tools. Most likely these would have to be machine specific. For this 1000 hours might not be enough. Unfortunately, I don’t have any machine tools. I have the Gingery set of books on making your own machine tools, which frankly I haven’t read much of, but I understand most of those are about working with aluminum. I want to work with steel or maybe iron.
10. The proper use of a file in sharpening an axe, shovel, hoe, etc. Sharpening and setting saw teeth would be essential. The proper use of an axe in felling trees without hurting yourself.
11. Operating a spinning wheel and a loom for weaving. These would probably have to be machine specific too.
That’s all I can think of right now. No doubt there is much more.
