I watch a fair amount of youtube, usually whIle cooking/ cleaning/ washing eggs and not a whole lot of permaculture stuff. I watched almost all of the Verge Permaculture youtube channel and would like to watch more stuff.

BrightSide Permaculture (mine) Not much there yet. I'm shooting lots of video now and will be editing and uploading as the work outside becomes less and less.
All of these channels (mine excluded) have lots of content, lots of different perspectives, methods and climates. Some are frequent uploaders, others... not so much. All worth looking at in my opinion.
Who else here has a YT channel? What about G+ Anyone using that for permaculture networking?
David The Good has a nice permaculture channel, though his stuff he is doing is typically not as applicable to my region as I think he is in Florida if I remember correctly and I am building a homestead in Eastern WA. But still fun to watch.
Marjory Wildcraft is a fun one.
I watch a lot of homestead channels, not limiting myself to just permaculture. As a lot of the permiculture channels just aren't regular uploaders. But homestead channels tend to upload fairly regularly.
Some of these homestead channels do some permaculture some don't.

Appalachia's Homestead

Starry Hilder

These two are still fairly new channels and are couples who are just starting to build their homesteads. Both are good channels but haven't gotten to the point of doing a lot of gardening. They are more about building infrastructure at this point.
Back to Nature Living
Pure Living for Life
Oh and I guess I will add mine, though I only have 2 videos at the moment of a camp tour. I do plan on doing a lot more videos as I develop the infrastructure for my homestead and eventually start planting and raising livestock. It is called : The Ineffable Homestead.
Then I look more of the videos YouTube shows at the side of one I looked on permaculture, homesteading, tiny homes, drawing and painting. And I followed all of the series Tales from the Green Valley (historical farming at the Welsh-English border).
I have a homesteading YouTube Channel called "The Grass-fed Homestead". Today is day 104 of homesteading for us so we're still trying to get our homestead established. Justin Rhodes gave me a "30 Day Challenge" - challenging us to post 1 video per day for our first 30 days on the homestead. We did 30 and didn't stop! So we have 100+ videos posted already. Since we're just getting started, we don't have a lot of permaculture systems in place yet. BUT, the permaculture ethics and principles guide my decision making and the direction we are going.
We are currently raising 4 lambs for meat and we have a small flock of layer hens (and a BIG rooster). We also had a small garden on a automated drip irrigation system. I designed and implemented a rotational grazing system using electric polywire fence. It is working pretty well. Our videos are more of a "vlog" style rather than a "how to" but they have a lot of information in them without being too boring. I share our successes and more importantly, our failures. If you're interested in learning more about raising grass-fed lamb, there's a lot for you on our channel.
Here's the introduction video I put together right when were getting ready to move from suburbia to our homestead:
As for which permaculture channels I like:
Justin Rhodes (of course)
David the Good
School of Permaculture
John Suscovich
Permaculture Voices
John Kitsteiner
And several other homesteading channels already mentioned by above posters.
Living in the Future - Lammas series - this is the first video in a series about the creation of the Lammas ecovillage and everything they had to deal with.
There are many videos in this series but I learned a lot even though it's set in Wales and I'm in Canada.
My son's and I have been making YouTube videos since March: Healthy Family Variety Channel
We have done 'treasure hunting' for fossils. Finding free/cheap silver. Lots of bugs and nature. I did a permaculture'esk watershed video early on. I have lots of Spiders, bugs and critters. I did a video on Plantain and the various varieties. And my boys have done a few lego Stop Motion animation videos.
http://youtube.com/c/HealthyFamilyVarietyChannel
Since most of our popular videos(5000+ views) are 'treasure hunting' I decided to make a separate Bugs, Spiders and Nature channel:
anima ex nihilo
****I have some Halloween ish and Halloween themed videos up! Please check them out!!****
Finally, I started another channel for all things Silver, Gold, Precious Metals and coins/numismatics. I plan to put together two whole education series on coin collections. The first on someone trying to get into coin collecting. The second for someone inheriting a coun collection (from a deceased relative) to learn the value of their collection and how best to decide what to keep for memory-sake and what to expect when you decide to sell. I have a two videos up to start with. More to come later. OH!!! The channel name: em3 Making Metal Mine
The intro video to my coin channel, but done for my main channel(sending any of my subscribers over to the new channel): http://youtu.be/-rq7239XWbA and follow the link in that video's description to go over to the "em3" coin channel.
I stumbled across the Farming Secrets channel while hunting up info on Peter Andrews' Natural Sequence Farming. All manner of quality information on a wide range of fascinating subjects may be found there. I've barely scratched the surface of its giant selection:
casey lem wrote:Two I watch that I didn't see listed:
Work With Nature
SkillCult
I'll have to check out Work with Nature. Skillcult is definitely on the top of my list. Steven Edholm's videos are some of the most information-dense around, and production quality is very high. He's thoughtful and entertaining and a great source of obscure and interesting data. I can't recommend SkillCult highly enough:
Our plan is to convert a shed to a small tiny house cabin for our family of 6!!! YIKES!!! We are also about to launch a 30 videos in 30 days around the New Year. We mostly are sharing our struggles in a fun and creative story telling way. Because we are beginners at raw land development
Here is a homestead vlogger, with a top 10 homestead YouTube channel list:
Here are the top 10 homesteading videos for 2017, they were nominated by our viewers and picked by us. Our goal is to expose and reward good quality homestead content on YouTube.
There are so many good suggestions in this thread that I didn't comb through all of them to see if White House on the Hill added any new ones with their list - just thought another cohort opinion was worthwhile!
My brother told me about these folks and I have been enjoying watching them build all sorts of earth bag homes. They seem to use a lot of paints and chemicals, so not really all in for permies, but their building techniques are pretty neat.
One of the best permaculture youtube channels I've found is Edible Acres. Sean has a ton of videos posted and I heartily endorse them. Watch the 43 second intro to get a good feel for what he shares.
Way Out West Blow-In Blog https://www.youtube.com/user/WayOutWestx2 they homestead on the westcoast of ireland and apart from listening to their lovely accents I love seeing all their useful inventions and hearing them explain things in terms I can understand.
There's a crazy Canadian making tool review videos and he is not a schill for any brand. His language is really bad so you don't want to have any kids around when you watch him, but you will learn a lot about power tools, pneumatic tools, electronics, tool manufacture, machining, and lots and lots of brand comparisons. He has a very unique way of communicating with lots of sayings that you will either find funny or annoying. Either way, I guarantee you will learn something about what he's talking about. The channel is called AvE and here is the URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWv6Pn_zP0rI6lgGt3MyfA
If you're into blacksmithing without all the hype and over-the-top personalities, I found Torbjorn Ahman. I enjoy his understated videos showing his excellent craftsmanship in blacksmithing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSFaYYQzNMLo2U6rSNLpghg
If you want to learn about cover crops for nearly any kind of application, you need to check out the geeks at Green Cover Seed. There are some in-field videos and lots of conference talks about cover crop farming: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfrK9tSdYXpHFxbhKxgcMbw
That's just a short list - I could easily triple it. I used to hate youtube and would torrent everything I watched after giving up television, now youtube is all I watch.

Sweet Breeze Farm
The Golden Pitchfork Awards to talk about some of my favorite YouTubers maybe this weekend, my channel is geared towards very low effort gardening in zone 6
Acushnet Massachusetts, most of my videos are composting and a couple hugel videos, I do them to keep busy when I’m feeling well, very low production camera phone first takes, fun however when I become Pumpkin Tripp from “Sweet Breeze Farm”. Did a 2018 Seed Haul video was fun for me.
Enjoy watching more than making them though, will tune in to some of the suggestions here! Thanks to previous posters for theirs!😀
I moved to my homestead in November and I'm now getting started planning for my mixed fruit orcahrd/food forest/forest garden, my first flock of chickens, and more using permaculture techniques where possible. Trying to build a resilient and sustainable place to be. :)
Edible Acres, already mentioned, is great.
Nature's Always Right is another with great content - a market garden on rented property in San Diego.
The Grassfed Homestead; Plant Abundance; are among my favourites (already mentioned).
Some have great content on specific topics I'm interested in like a playlist on raising rabbits by Living Traditions.
I'm looking for step-by-step type instructions for bee keeping and although I've found some channels about bees and learned quite a bit, there's not one that stands out for me for a beginner.

I wanna mention Edible Acres again. Inspirational. Also a permaculture nursery. The waterways series and chicken composting series are awesome/
So some of these may not mention permaculture in their videos but I think the videos demonstrate useful skills.
Mr Chickadee ; woodwright
House Improvement ; for those of you like me who are giving your future self the now-gift of old home stewardship.
Chris Trump ; easy to follow KNF instructions
Twisted Tree Farm ; a NY based nurseryman with quick instructional videos on tree/shrub propagation among other things.
Stephen Hayes ; one of my go-tos for apple growing instructions on all kinds of varieties. Also has a fun to read appling-journal.
Onsek ; axewright
Kris Harbour ; I tuned in for his "whittlers wood roundhouse" series
RowanTaylor ; blacksmith whose page has been quiet for a bit, but is absolutely fun to watch.
Paul Sellers ; the inimitable carpenter Paul Sellers, who also has a pay to subscribe website. (Useful if like me you're looking for carpentry projects to practice your skills. I think there's a first time subscriber deal for the first year too.)
Richard Perkins ; permaculture farming efficiently monetized
Bealtaine Cottage ; sights and sounds from a permaculture homestead, a beautiful and inspirational property.
My family just started a channel too. Better with Thyme We had a small permaculture garden in the NYC area and bought 8 acres in WV. We have been raising chickens and ducks on the land and have 2 LGD puppies. We finally got a building permit about a week ago and so we're starting to get more things going. We're really looking forward to capturing how we implement our permaculture ideas on our land.
