I am not much of a fan of TV these days, especially with the increasing amount of shows going towards reality. I will keep you from a long rant on how Hollywood is breeding a generation of kids that believe what they see on "reality TV" shows is in fact "real life", and how the disconnection is growing at an alarming rate. One thing I will say though I find it ironic that the major cause of disconnection from our humanity is named "reality TV", as that misnomer couldn't be further from the truth. I may be a bit fuzzy on "the truth", but I'm sure as hell sure that what goes on in Hollywood is not it.
Now that I have breathed (and ranted a little bit), I would like to share with you one way I turn mainstream media into a tool for learning. YouTube may have started as a bunch of videos of people falling and farting, but has since grown into a shining example of how humans can use, the immensely important internet, to share our collective knowledge. If you have not been on YouTube in a while, or have not really ever searched through its massive collection of videos, do yourself a favor and check out some of the channels I suggest above. They touch upon a few different topics, all survival/self-reliance related. I personally enjoy outdoor survival, and love to practice it myself, so there's a few extra channels related to that.
Happy watching!!
