Broken leg, what to watch on YouTube/Amazon/Netflix

Expedition Overland on YT is very cool but they use Exxon Mobil products, one of the many companies destroying the lands we desire to visit.
XO has too much money. Overlanding doesnt have to be so damn fancy.

All the good overland series have been mentioned. I'm going to throw out DC's Arrow. Lots of episodes and a pretty good watch.

I feel your pain. I brook my foot a couple of years ago and was couched for almost an entire summer. It is when I discovered his forum which helped me keep my sanity.
One I enjoyed that I don't think I have seen mentioned was Campervan Culture. They have a great series about an Over Land trip from England to Morocco.
I found if I spread it all out and not being watched one series all at once it helped. It is a double edged sword. Fills the time but also makes the pain of sitting around getting nothing done that much worse.
Good time to study up for a Ham license if you don't have one.
Good luck on the recovery. When you get to the physical therapy fallow the instructions. It dose help in the end.

Haha, I've seen him in a couple other vids and found his channel 10 minutes ago!

Cool! I've heard bits about this before but didn't know there was a film to go with it. Thanks!

Yeah finished the GT in the first week:)
Archer is a great idea, it's been a while since I've watched an episode. Here's a funny story related to the show.
A couple years ago, around Thanksgiving, I came home and found a discarded shoulder bag on the street in front of my house. Sadly, it wasn't the first time it's happened.
Anyways, I grab it and go in the house, look inside and see a name an phone number on some paperwork. I didn't really pay attention to the name and called the number. On the other end a lady answered and I asked if this was Aisha. She replied, rather shortly, "Yes, who's this?" I said my name was Brenton and asked if she was missing a shoulder bag. Again she said "Yes", but this time it was in a much more unsure tone.
I explained that I had found a bag in front of my house and called the only number I could find. She couldn't believe someone was calling her about the bag. Turns out her boyfriend's bag was also stolen (in Oakland, I'm at Candlestick in SF) and they were both missing laptops. I told her my address she said she will be at my door in about an hour.
Now, while I'm getting this sorted on the phone, my wife is checking her name. We both recognize it, but can't really believe it would be the same Aisha Tyler from Archer. An hour later there's a knock on the door. I open the door and sure as, well you know, it's her! I still couldn't believe it! We make our intros, and I hand her the bag. She offers me a cash reward which I refuse. I'm just happy to help anybody, especially when it's Thanksgiving!
She thanks me again and heads back to her car. My wife, from the top of the stairs, asks if it was her. I said yes and my wife said that I should say something. At this point Aisha had to have been 100' away and out of sight from the house so I just yell "Go Archer!!!" I heard a big laugh and one last "Thank you!".
Well a week later there's an unexpected package delivered to the house. I open it up and find a copy of her book and the first three seasons of Archer on dvd. She autographed each item to me and included a nice note within the book. It was a really nice gesture from her.
So that's my Archer/Aisha Tyler story.
My List would be as follows
AvE - Machining and General BullSH!ttery, amusing to watch, but he does talk about Arduino stuff
abom79 - Again Machining stuff, its amazing to watch him do things like Spray welding and such
Wranglerstar - Homesteading, logging, has gotten a little bit of a sell out in the last while, but I still enjoy watching chainsaw videos and such
Roadkill/Roadkill Garage - I really do suggesting getting a Motortrend on demand subscription, 30 days for free, roadkill garage and DirtEverDay early is amazing!
Scott Manley - Space / Kerbal Space Program - if you want to learn about how hard it is to get to space, this guy breaks it down pretty good
Bigclivedotcom - he buys cheap stuff on ebay and then takes it apart, amazing to see what some of those products are like. even draws out the circuit diagrams
SV Seeker - a guy building a Chinese junk in his front yard - pretty sweet to see, and as he calls it "the boat the internet built"
chucke2009 - Welding welding welding. his projects go on and on. V8 swapped Tractor, need I say more?
Cody's Lab - Learing about mining and metals and elements, pretty sweet stuff
Matthias Wandel - Can make pretty much anything out of wood, check it out if your into that
EricTheCarGuy - Mechanic on Youtube, learn how to fix things
B is for Build - Buy a super cheap car on auction site, make It better - BRZ,BRZ, Lotus Evora, FJ, and now TT Mustang
Poor Man Mods - From a forum I visit - Build it don't buy it!
Bradley Friesen - Helicopter Shinanigans - Check it out, amazing footage, local to Vancouver 4k most of the time too!
One Lane Road - used to be Oregon Trail Offroad - Recreating the Oregon trail now
Mark Dorieon - Offroading, just a man and 2 cameras. all over the country. good for trip planning
Regular Cars - Regular Car Reviews - Vagabond Falcon anyone?

The Archer story is AWESOME! Karma does pay off sometimes. I loved Mr Robot! flew through that in a few days when I saw it. Longmire is a good one. All the Marvel shows. The Expanse is a good watch. Presently one of my favorite shows going on.
