Sometimes
during December, I tripped over a weird but awesome Youtube channel.
I should say two channels, but they are run by the same guy, so it's
a matter of semantics really.
I'm not a
car guy, I'm not into radio controls, but what this dude and his
friends do is endlessly entertaining.
One the
one hand there is Loading Kings, formerly known as Loading Wars until
the Youtube algorithm decided it didn't like the word “war”...
Frikkin' algorithm...
Anyway,
they use the most amazing RC 18 wheelers, fork lifts, etc to compete
in very exacting challenges against each other. It's super creative,
really pretty exciting and so much fun. They have 3D printed crates,
tiny shelves, and a zombie dock manager! It's so worth watching at
least one match.
Then there
is Youtube Gold, where they basically have a functioning gold mine
run by RC trucks, excavators, front loaders etc. It's an amazing
thing to see how they transport the pay dirt, sort it and filter it
and finally actually get real gold!
It should
be noted that they are not digging gold out of the guys backyard as
such, it's dirt brought in from a riverbed that runs in gold
territory. The channel owner, who's name escapes me, has a mining
license and goes to a secret spot to dig out the dirt. The rest
(besides a generator and a water pump) is all painstaking RC work. To
date they have managed to get a surprising amount of shiny shiny gold
out of the dirt. Enough to give Krazy Joe a gold tooth and more.
So if the
weather is keeping you inside and there's nothing good on the old
telly, why not watch some Canadians drink beer and dig for miniscule
amounts of gold? Point of order, the firstr season is a bit slow, so
skip ahead a bit if you feel it's too boring.
Until next
time, have yourself a really great week!
