My spirit animal (James) throws NO mostlly metalic materials away. This is the secret to his success. This channel is easily one of the best on YT.

Spirit animal?

You never know what a child will cherish as a memory. One of my most favorite memories of childhood was riding on the back of my Paw Paw's mule Henry while he broke the ground for the garden in late winter/early spring. I was around 5 or 6 years old the first time I remember doing it, and I can tell you that I thought I was the king of the world holding on to the collar of that big old Belgian mule! I can still smell the fresh broke ground and the steam coming up off of Henry's back after he got heated up. From then on, it became a spring ritual that I would look forward to every year. Yes sir, you made memories with that ride, but then, I get the distinct impression that you work at building memories for your young ones, like a good Father should.

I’ve been living vicariously through KZread for almost a year, now, following a knee injury and repair surgery in last January’s snow. Rehabilitation and physio have got me walking and even gently running, but not back to working or having fun, yet. If it wasn’t for this channel, rainman ray, robot cantina and a few other broadly similar channels, I’d have lost the will to live, long ago. Ben, on Tasty Classics, makes very long videos, two or three times a month and he has a similar approach, but very different projects and obviously far less space to work in or store stuff in. I had no idea there was this amount of amazing content constantly getting uploaded. I never moan about the reruns and garbage on tv any more. Now I find tv is a distraction from the stuff I actually want to watch. Thank you for being part of my salvation/corruption, depending on your viewpoint. Not sure I could have made it through my enforced inactivity without you.

Those kids will never ever forget the Party where the christmas wagon came by surprise and picked them up for a ride around the neighborhood...🎄🎆🎃

Fantastic episode - thank you for the spirit of adventure and fun you bring to all your projects. You’re right - those kids will remember that ride for years. Merry Christmas 🎄

Thanks for explaining the brake shoe thing. I was confused.

Thanks for sharing the kids experience with us. I'm old and I still remember hay rides. Keep it real, keep it fun.... See ya soon.

It was the 1949 "double dually" pickup that caught my eye in a video thumbnail late last year and made me a subscriber. In the year since then, this has become my favorite channel, and the channel itself has doubled in size. Don't let "big youtube money" change who you are or how you do things. Congratulations on the success!

Thanks for all the fun you've given in 2023 James. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family.

Ditto, from central coast of California Happy holidays to all.

Wow! What a cool buggy. Your kids will differently remember that Christmas in years to come. Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas and New year.

Daddy of the year! Happy kids and using your creation at the same time! Awsome 👌👌👌

Loved your content this year. Can’t wait to see what next year holds.

Absolutely fabulous . Now you set the mark. Next is a Santa's sleigh with reindeer. Or a bunch of dirt bikes instead of reindeer

Nothing better than a Dad with a sense of humor and adventure. The kids know that fun is important. The excited chatter tells a great story, it even lasted to the end. Happy Holidays to you as well.

Thanks for doing what you do, and being who you are, and remember... if you're not having fun you're not doing it right. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

James, you are a a legend. Have a great break and here's to more fun next year. PS - If I'm watching a lot of videos back-to-back, I always save yours until last coz I know it is going to put me in a 'happy place' I want to be.

Thankyou for making these videos for us all. A bonus that we can learn with ya

Thanks for another year of entertainment, have a great Christmas, we all look forward to seeing you next year.

I love how ecoflow just gives these away to like every KZreadr but charges like 1500 for them.

Those solar generators are very handy. The 1kwh models are just about perfect to keep food preserved and charge your phones in an emergency.

You are a stand up guy with a warm heart, wish I knew you better.

The early cordless drills were terrible. However I used one every day in the mid to late 80’s. I was a TV repairman, they worked great as a nut driver for removing the back of TV’s. GE TV’s had a ridiculous number of screws holding the back on.

You've stepped up your jeep with lights game in the most awesome way !

One of my favorite channels, I enjoy the unique projects you come up with ,keep up the great work. Have a merry Christmas

This could be the best review of a power station I’ve ever seen on KZread. Many have tried, only you have succeeded! Then you pick up the kids and prove you’re a great dad, even more important!!!! Outstanding as always.

I subscribed a while back, and I've never regretted it! My favorite channels are ones where there's a good chance you could learn something while being entertained. I usually learn something from you (even if it's how NOT to do something!), and I'm always entertained! Thank you for continuing to provide a superior product... keep at it, and the subs will come. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

What a great wholesome ending to the year! I hope the up coming year will be even greater for you good sir! I love the fact that any of the kids didn't find riding that embarrasing in anyway!

When he first arrived, his daughter slapped her palm against her forehead and thought, "Oh, No, Dad! What were you thinking! How embarrassing! Ugh!" After the success of Jim's decision, his daughter went on to be the Most Popular Girl, with the coolest Dad, in her class. 👸😎🥳🙂

Thanks for taking me along, and for proving that perfect is the enemy of good enough.

I can't wait to see what LBG comes up with next year!

Imagine having an dad, uncle or otherwise fatherly figure like you in my life, well, I do, but he doesn't come up with as much shenanigance as you do! I love the wagon, it has to be my favorite build on KZread and I'm so glad the KZread algorithm overlord kept pestering me about you until I finally caved a year ago. What an awesome ride it has been, and here's to another year of tomfoolery!

When I weld I wear gloves, arm protectors and a welder's apron, but I only stick weld. I think the big lesson here is we don't swat mosquitos with "A bombs." Ron W4BIN

Great memories for the kids, Merry Christmas.

Always use the right tool for the wrong thing! Sage wisdom!

*- "I'll trade {family fun} for an engine rebuild any day of the week!"* *- Hurrah, we get to see the engine rebuilt ! ! !*

Well done James, those kids having fun really had me smiling. Thanks for not crossing to the dark side, unfortunately I’ve seen channels in the past become tempted and it changes their channel for the worse. A merry Christmas to you and your family and I hope you enjoy your break. Thanks for all the fun and interesting videos this year as well as years past. From the land down under, cheers mate. Stuart 🇦🇺

Time with the Family is priceless! It is the Uncovered wagon!

I wish that power box was something that you could take with you on an airplane

Oh ya, that's the way to live life, be a family and use your talent God gave you!!!

Dad of the year award on this one!

Man, that covered wagon would be an awesome addition to a Christmas parade!

Thanks for puting sunshine in our lives- not bad for a crazy old fella ❤😂🎉

*- A number of the channels I watch have had EcoFlow want to sponsor them.* *- All the channel owners like the EcoFlow for the same reasons you do, but your presentation was quicker {visual}, more succinct, and sinks in better.* *- You did the BEST review for the brand that I have seen ! ! !* *-...and...your paying attention to the water issue warning is actually top shelf marketing in my view.* *- {I suspect all of these heavy metal batteries have the same issue}, and, because of that; You did a customer service review, which I think EcoFlow should be both impressed by and very pleased with, too.* *- If I were the @EcoFlowTech Marketing VP, I would stalk you up with a full battery storage system for solar and wind powered supply to both your home and shop and let you market for them as you see fit....you are that good, James ! ! !*

There is the guy who had one in his boat and forgot to put the drain plug in the transom before launching the boat. He was the poster boy for what happens when it gets wet! lots of smoke and steam as the electronics fried. he did salvage the cells and reused them after a thorough cell by cell test and inspection, but the rest of the unit was gone. Electrolysis dissolved all the metal on the circuit boards!

Merry Christmas! You remind me of fixits I did from 40 yrs ago. Thanks for all! I look forward to the coming projects!

Looking forward to seeing you again in the new year. Enjoy relaxing with the family, until next time.

I had a smile on my face the entire second half of this episode! 😊

I just realized that your intro's are the only ones I don't skip - your vids are that good. And the covered wagon with the kids was nothing short of awesome. Happy Holidays to you too.

Not sure why I thought the "hot coco" was the strange part. Great video, always an upbeat approach to problems.

I really enjoyed this video thank you so much !! The Christmas lights and drive at the end remined me of the old days in England, brought tears to my eyes Thank you.

I love your channel sir, wishing you and you're family a very happy holiday season.

Easily the best channel on the tubes and probably the most wholesome content by the most genuine creator! Thank You Sir Merry Christmas and have a Very Happy New Year!!!

Thanks for all the wonderful entertainment. Merry Christmas

You should build one of those bouncy wagon-seats for it, it would give ya that feeling of riding in a real wagon, and it would look much more authentic. 😉👍, great video guys, thanks for sharing.

Love the content on your channel. You have some of the very best projects and to fix them out of your junk pile is so cool. Keep up the good work.

Love your videos. The break is well deserved. Happy holidays.

Useless comment until I actually watch. I'm on number 8 jump pack/air compressor/200 watt AC power/2 X 2.1 Amp USB ports that failed from leaving outside, battery failing, air compressor melting at 20psi etc but what really got me was having it go bezerk while everything was off when a heavy fog came off the lake one night when I was working outside. It's a relatively cheap unit, $109 last time I checked but I like being able to program the pressure, usually 20 psi at most, walk away to continue another task and know it turns off as I'll either forget or not want to have to watch a needle move. So far I've had no problems exchanging for a new one with a receipt. This year was great and I'm lucky to write this from what was a dream just a year ago, a cabin in the woods and woods that are now trash free, until I find more anyways.

If I didn't live in urban sprawl I certainly would be trying some of the things that you do, please keep up the good work we do appreciate all that you do.👍🏼

My van now has a couple of partsam lights thanks to this channel.

That was so wholesome you reminded me of my dad a lot especially with your humor and well I love it and that's what got me interested in your videos and because your working on engines and such but your personality helps keep it entertaining

It's not weird, it's FUN. Have a great Christmas looking forward to the new year.

Those random circles of steel plate will be prevalent on the next project good job you found them now forward thinking keep up the good work my man

That thing is awesome. If it was mine, though, I'd probably put full lights on it, enable all the gears, tags, the works. Make it driveable on public roads. Also, diggin' the li'l RC truck! You'd LOVE a Kyosho Mad Crusher GP I think.

I stumbled across your channel in the beginning of the year and I have to say this has been a great year watching your videos. I am a big believer in not everything that is new is better and I've been rebuilding and fixing lots of things and watching your videos just makes it that much more fun. Merry Christmas and happy new year I can't wait to see you next year

Merry Christmas to you and your family, thanks for taking us along on your madcap ideas and adventures.

Nice work! Ecoflow is cool too

It's the weird stuff that keeps us coming back!

Keep doing what you’re doing brother there’s only a few of us crazy bastards left😂🍻🙏🏻

You have ever thing a boy who loves to tenker could dream of ,some of the vehicle you have and work on are amazing.

Your content is so enjoyable that I look forward to it every week. Most of the time I watch these informative episodes multiple times. Please keep up the good work, and have a Happy Christmas, and an epic New Year!🤓

It's a Christmas miracle it made it on 0 psi.

Thanks from Australia James Merry Christmas. If you ever change your irreverent format we will be disappointed. Keep em coming!

Congrats James, on taking the group for a christmas parade around the areas. merry christmas and a happy new year.

You are definitely doing it right because everyone was having fun.

Merry Christmas, James. Another video of awesome ingenuity and lateral thinking that proves to be really entertaining.

Merry Christmas and thank you for the entertainment you have provided. We appreciate you sharing the fun you have.

I look forward to watching each new video you make!

you made their day👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍have a very merry Christmas James and family

Great to see you having fun with the kids and using one of your creations. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. (And you know we all want to see the engine rebuild too!)

Good to have spare parts on hand! The vehicle looks nice with the lights on it!

Your ingenuity of making it work with whatever and no matter what, and your attitude... are so inspiring, and so much fun to watch. Thanks a bunch!

Lol!! I love the safety warning sit down session.. Litterally the only youtuber thats ever done that.

Hey James, Just a couple things: 1). The brake shoes will be fine after they dry off. Dot 3 brake fluid is NOT OIL so it will dry off. Even in automotive class we were taught to wash brake fluid off brake shoes with mineral spirits or parts cleaner and reuse them on customer cars. 2). Silver Powder stop leak. I have stopped coolant leaks with multiple brands of silver stop leak. Some are liquid some are powder. My favorite was from Standard Oil, which became American Oil Company, Then Amoco, then BP Amoco, now it's just BP. They had a Silver liquid product called Atlas Block Sealer. I used to tell my customers I guaranteed it to work or they didn't have to pay. With their engine running, I'd put it into their radiator, fill it up with coolant and then put the pump up radiator cap/ system pressure test pump on it and pump it up to 15Lbs. The customer could watch the leak stop right befor their very eyes. My boss didn't like when I gave the guarantee, he said if it didn't work I'd have to pay for it, but it never failed me and those customers couldn't pay the price fast enough. So, on something like a Go Devil, I'd have no hesitation. Look online and you'll find several. There are also copper powder products out there nowadays. Thanks for the videos, they are always fun and Merry Christmas to you too. ben/ michigan

You are definitely the cool dad! Merry Christmas 🎅

Thanks for the wonderful videos and I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a happy new year. 😎👍

I always enjoy your channel! The covered wagon is great and you driving the kids around was a wonderful adventure for everyone.

You’re awesome this would have been the best way to see Christmas lights so much fun

You are the best dad… Thanks for this amazing fun car, and video..👍👍👌

It has been a good year. I enjoy your videos and look forward for more. Your a good dad and you are a good guy. I hope you and your family have a great holiday season and enjoy your time off. 👍🇺🇸✌️

gald to see it have a good drive, while you sit on that engine rebuild it's a good time to think about all the other possiblities for it!

Happy Holidays everyone!! See you next year

I am just getting caught up after finding LBG. You have kept me laughing and fascinated for way too many hours this month! now I have to go do something!

Another GREAT Video James....Can't wait for your upcoming videos. I love out of the ordinary videos. My Channel is geared toward the Odd Ball stuff too. So I really appreciate your channel. Have a Great 2024.

Your videos always cheer me up when I'm feeling down.

Just a suggestion now that you have a Charging alternator. It'd be cool to see you add tail lights and front lights to the front of the bumper there sort of like '50s style teardrop bug eyes. A engine cover might be nice too.

Need a Santa suit. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

You always have such a positive attitude. Thank you for all your hard work, just for us vanish from stressful lives from time to time! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!

You did a awesome job on that rig ,, merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family…
