I'm at Video 3 and so far so good, I get a pretty clear picture of what I'm getting into and instructions are good.

Good summary of how to use Packer! One suggestion: add a lesson covering the Vagrant Post-Processor. This would tie together how to feed a custom packer build into creation of a Vagrant box.
