I just discovered your videos and I absolutely love this kind of content. I have one point of improvement as I am not American I don't use feet as an measurement, I hope it isn't too much to ask but could you maybe put oeit also in meltric sizes when talking about measurements? I think telling in both metric and imperial also would make your videos to a more broader and worldwide audience

Fascinating. I find crabs quite scary though so I really ought to stop watching your videos late at night!
