Brilliant, this.
I really cant tell you how much that has cleared things up for me.

Such a pity he's mixing up his neutrals & grounds though. The way he's wired that panel is completely wrong.
And: "You're not going to be able to go into your local parts store and buy a 30-amp rated sub-panel. The lowest one you'd be able to get is 60 amps."
Really?

Indeed.
Not sure I've seen any professionals showing off work like that on YouTube though. Maybe I've just been lucky.
The problem is partly that a lot of US practices and accessories are downright disgusting.
What do you have in mind specifically?
Unsheathed cpcs.
Wirenuts.
Those fugly light switches.
Switches designed in a way that leads people to recommend wrapping the internal part in tape lest a terminal make contact with the back box..
