Oh absolutely. I'm going to confess that I read this book, "Replay" by Ken Grimwood, which is roughly about a guy who keeps having a heart attack on the same day, and wakes up in his younger body, with all of his memories. Again and again and again. Kind of like Groundhog Day, but for an entire adult life. I kind of became obsessed for a while with the idea that I would like to live my life over again. It was a really unhealthy obsession. It took a while for me to live in the moment, try to not hold on to my regrets, etc.
Back to the topic... I kind of watch things like Primitive Technology out of a hope/fear that I'll either get thrown back in time to when these skills were relevant, or that I'll live in a post-apocalyptic world where they're relevant again. (Which was probably inspired by reading Stephen King's "The Stand," and worrying about how my life would be if there was no electricity.)
But yeah, I love watching people show their enthusiasm... I love watching people demonstrate mastery over tools I don't know how to use... I love watching someone build something... Tom7 and Primitive Technology check all those boxes. Adam Savage's Tested often does, too.
