I realize it's been a while since I've posted an update here, and I'm afraid it may still be a while before I can get back to posting weekly updates, but, that being the case, I wanted to provide a view of the big picture.  
My first child was born at the end of March, so adjusting to fatherhood and the additional responsibilities thereof has taken up some of my time.  Moreover, the adjustment process made it apparent that I need to expedite some major home improvement projects, as well as overhaul our vehicle situation.  On top of that, I signed up to participate as a vendor at the Mackay Market this summer, a weekly vendor fair in Mackay, Idaho (Saturdays from 11 AM to 2 PM, if anyone happens to be passing through Mackay and wants to drop by).  So the bottom line is that I have a lot of demands on my time right now--some of them more or less unforeseen.
I'm not sure yet how much my current workload will impact my video posting schedule.  Over the last few months, my queue of videos pending upload has dwindled from ~15 pending videos to ~3, but so far I haven't missed a week yet.  I may get a few videos out of my home improvement projects, and I'm sure I can work in a few other videos on the side over the course of the summer.
As time permits, and once I get some of my more pressing obligations taken care of, my two top priorities are the Ghost Eagle project and making an improvised .30-06 barrel for the GEFRRSn.  After those two projects are complete, I hope to publish historical reference books about both the GEFRRSn and the Ghost Eagle, respectively—similar to the ones I published about the UTAH and the Reverse-Pump Shotgun.  I'm also still working on my printed sabot experiments, and continuing to tinker around with my T-sling concept.
Beyond that, I've published several more "Illustrated Expeditionary Journals of an Idahoan" that I'll make videos of when I have a chance, and of course my psalter project is still ongoing.  And, on occasion, when I have time to relax, I'm still writing more of The Archwood Chronicles.
So hopefully this gives you some idea of what to expect from me in the next six months, or a year, or however long it takes.  Thank you all for bearing with me through this slightly hectic season.

March 11, 2022 Update: This week I finished editing my videos on the BR-15 project, as well as a knife-making project that I started quite a while ago and finally finished up this week.  My wife is expecting a baby this coming week or possibly the following week, so I may not have time to work on projects much or post updates for a while, but hopefully I have enough videos in my queue that I'll be able to maintain a regular upload schedule nonetheless.  This weekend, I plan to post a video I made about trying to fix the Bushnell TRS-25 sight, and then I have several videos in my practical accuracy series left to post after that.

March 4, 2022 Update: This week I filmed a video about my prototype BR-15, although I haven't gotten around to editing the footage yet.  I also published the set of photo books that I've been working on.  As soon as my first copies arrive, I'll work on getting those posted on my website and making the corresponding YouTube videos for them.

February 18, 2022 Update:I recently passed the 10-year anniversary of starting TheIdahoanShow, so this week I spent some time reflecting on the first decade of the channel and making a couple videos about it.  I'll probably post them this weekend and next weekend, respectively.  And maybe after that the weather will start to warm up enough that I can get back to doing more machining and/or range testing.

February 12, 2022 Update: This was a fairly productive week.  I finished the BR-15 prototype, and also finished a couple drafts of outdoor expedition photo books. And this weekend, I plan to finally post the shop equipment & setup video that several of you have requested.

February 4, 2022 Update: This week I stocked up on 3D printer filament and eventually succeeded in cleaning out a clogged extruder nozzle, so now I'm back to work on the BR-15 project.  I also finished a draft of another one of my "Expeditionary Journals," this one about my trek to North Fork Lake at the headwaters of the Big Lost River.  That makes the third draft I've completed, and I think I'll try to finish about two more before I try to push the lot of them through final editing and publication.  Anyway this weekend I think I'll upload a quick video I made about modifying a pepper shaker (in addition to the announcement I posted already about releasing the sabot stl file).
