Favourite outdoorsy You Tube channels

We cut the cable a couple of years or so ago so we no longer get regular television. We don't miss it much. Youtube has replaced that. We hook up our laptop to the TV and stream whatever we're in the mood for, and yes that sometimes includes old television shows which never seemed to be in reruns anyway. My wife and I are avid readers so we don't watch the box every night of the week. Most of what I watch are as eclectic as my interests so I'll spare you the indoorsy ones and list just a few of the outdoorsy choices in no particular order.

Thanks Guys !

Yes, I watched it last night. Kept wondering "Has he had enough for one day? Time to make camp?" No. Barbour just keeps going.
Hard wade up the Red Wine River. Gorgeous country. All those fish dinners are easy on the eye too.
 
Great sources. Thanks.
I have one question. If a trip takes place in the fall, clearly the trees have all turned, why is no one wearing a life jacket?
I would never do that.
 
A few more from my list here at home for you. Just in case cabin fever sets in.
