Meet Jaimie Mantzel. He lives in the woods and is building a giant robot. Seriously.

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 at 9:34 am

Jamie Mantzel is my new favorite person on the Internet. He is trying to build a gigantic walking robot, and he is documenting it on YouTube. He lives in the middle of nowhere and has no electricity, and tends to get distracted. Will he be able to build this robot? Watch his videos to find out!

Here’s a more recent video:

Jaimie’s profile from his YouTube Channel:

I’m Jaimie… Mantzel. I like to do a lot of things. I’m kinda like…. hmmm… who am I like…. Oh, I’m like a cross between MacGuyver (ya, I like to build stuff), and that guy in fight club (not because I fight, because I’m reclusive, resist the system, and live life my own way). Wait, no no. I’m more like a cross between Stewy from family guy, and… uhhh… well, people say “run, forest, run” to me a lot. That might just be because I run a lot, though. OK, I don’t know who I’m like. I’m a super-human space alien monster with a brain the size of a planet. Now stop pressuring me!!!!
