    What happened to the Xtrekker videos?

    Xtrekker had some great DIY videos but they are not on youtube anymore. What happened? Are they archived anywhere?

    They look gone forever. His website is still up, but all the links to YouTube videos are dead.

    What do you use to download? The website I used to use appears to be gone.

    I contacted xtrekker a year ago to inform about his vids; he said he took them off because others were using his ideas as their own. He was looking into reposting them on YT but hasn't yet.

    Please ask him to repost. They were some of the best. To be honest I am glad you got hold of him and that he is well. I was worried something bad had happened.

    I don't recall Xtrekker doing anything particularly original. He was into DIY. However, he wouldn't be the first to claim that someone was ripping off his ideas. I recall Fronkey claimed to have invented a bottom-entry bugnet, but that was shot down fairly quickly.

    Oh well - he decided to take down all his YouTube content - that's his right.

    It's a crying shame. I used to view some of his videos, and now I'm interested in some of the content to help me toward an ambitious (for an amateur) full DIY hammock build.

    Are there any similar resources that I don't know about.
