    "We don't live on our boat, we live on the canal, so the space is immense.
    What the boat does is it keeps us warm & it keeps us dry."
    That's a very interesting perspective.

      Dear Anna and Kath, you are talking about the solar panels not giving you enough power for your appliances. You might however have different issues then the panels not giving enough juice. It might far more likely be the converter, batteries or (if you have it, but i doubt that) mppt not doing what it is supposed to.
      A solar system needs quite some components. But those components need to be combining forces in the gracious manner to work well. Batteries tend to grow old and while looking like they are charged, actually holding less then 25% of their original power. Inverters tend to take up a lot of power when they aren't properly maintained and can be easily diagnosed to being faulty if they happen to become pretty hot (heat means power lost in this case). So it might be worth your time to get your knowledge up to speed on the solar panels, what they do, how they function and resolve the actual issues.
      Getting professional help with that might however be costly. Best of luck.

    Probably the most interesting video I have viewed on you tube thus far. Your explanation of how you came to live on your boat and what it has taken to make or work was very clear and helpful. You both seem to love each other very much and treat each other with kindness. You are very respectful of each other’s options and love to tease each other. I hope you travel for many years.

    Love how comfortable your kittys are. Mine is quite new. Second hand really. Soft and black like your Alice. Sleeps in the closet behind my bed and occasionally ...walks across me in the night. I jump. He jumps. I scream. He kitty screams. Then we settle and he goes back to the closet. Truly enjoy how comfortable both of you are on camera. thanks. Diana

    • @TheNarrowboatExperience
      @TheNarrowboatExperience 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Downsizing is definitely difficult. Every time we try it, my lady goes out and buys more stuff.

    • @ExploringAlternatives
      @ExploringAlternatives  7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Yeah, downsizing is pretty insane! We had filled up a whole house so it took us a pretty long time to downsize into our van. It's not easy but really rewarding once you're done😀

    • @AnimalFacts
      @AnimalFacts 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Me, personally I can do it... had for some time when I was single ... I don't like feeling "owned" by my things. Having a lot of stuff requires spending more money on a place to have it, it hinders free movement, etc...
      It's hard to get a significant other and a child into that mindset. I want to go off grid, but teaching simple things as energy and water management, and downsizing is hard.
      For instance, there is a 42-inch television here... which rarely gets watched. When it is on, it just serves as an energy hogging noise maker. Most of our watching is done on tablets, phones or computers, yet any mention of just getting rid of it is always met with a "how could you" attitude.

    • @DePvdM
      @DePvdM 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Having worked with people who are hoarders, i can tell you that items for some people fill in a void. Try to get to understand what that void is they feel. Find out what happens with them if they buy stuff or receive it another way, and what it makes them feel like if they get rid of things they feel to be important. Understanding those feelings makes you able to control them. When you can control them, you can actively suppress unwanted feelings or understand the needs hidden under them, giving you room to stop the same pattern from repeating.
      From experience, many things remind people of things in the past. They don't want to cling to the items, but really want to cling to those memories. So giving an alternative way to hold on to those memories (or improve and even expand on them) will completely remove the need to keep the items.

    • @ASMRyouVEGANyet
      @ASMRyouVEGANyet 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Stop trying to force your lifestyle onto people. Not everyone feels the same way about stuff as you.
      I tried to get my mom to get rid of so much stuff. It just doesn't work. She has to want to do it on her own. She still resents me for getting rid of just a few things....you can't force people to change.

    • @dreamingflurry2729
      @dreamingflurry2729 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is one of my reasons why I will never move in with a woman (Oh, I like women, but most of them just have so much stuff (most of which is useless at that! You can't wear 20 pairs of shoes or put 10 different kinds of makeup or deodorant or jewelry on!), not to mention that I am just not one for constant compromises! Hell, if I could afford to I'd love to live on a boat and a girlfriend could still visit, but she wouldn't move in! Sorry, nope, not doing that!)

  • @johnt-5382

    Keeping things simple! We live in a converted delivery van. Living space 3.3m x 1.7 wide, 2m high when top is popped up. Sounds small and tight by comparison, but it's actually very comfortable. Just one rule for storage : if it hasn't been used in the last 12 months... out it goes.
    But then, there are no canals in Australia! Cheers, John

    About your shower. Have you ever thought to do a hybrid system? A system with an instant hot and keep your water heater. That way you could have a lower water temp on your tap while the instant hot shower head could supplement the water coming from the tank. Don't know about the cost of head or wiring. Just an idea.

    Have you heard about the low/no waste lifestyle in England? Could help with your waste at the market. I have lots of resources if interested!
    Happy wandering,

    8:22 "We don't live on our boat, we live on the canal. The space is immense. What the boat does is it keeps us warm and it keeps dry." Brilliant.

    You need to invest in a bigger water tank. 500 Litres is not a lot. A lot of sail away hulls come with 1500L as standard now.

    I love everything about living aboard. the freedom, the outdoors, the exploring, waking up in new places, meeting new people, saving lots of money etc etc. The only problem that's stopping me, and its a problem I've never been able to overcome, is the spiders. Yes, horrible nasty black, red and black, spotted short and long legged creepy crawling life spoiling SPIDERS. Hundreds of the things. On the deck, in the cupboards, crawling across the bed. Everytime I used to clear them out, I would return to find an army of replacements. Its such a shame that they and they alone, prevent me from a wonderful life choice that is my dream. :-(

    • @TheNarrowboatExperience
      @TheNarrowboatExperience 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True point- spiders do love a narrowboat. I don't mind them, as they eat the mosquitos sometimes in summer. And sometimes Alice will catch the spiders and eat them too.

    Looks like a super way of life and you both seem very happy. I'm looking forward to following your adventures when you start cruising. I love your cats, particularly the Russian Blue and you're reading Bill Bryson - it really doesn't get any better than this does it?

    • @TheNarrowboatExperience
      @TheNarrowboatExperience 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, how can you be unhappy with two adorable cat overlords and Bill on the shelf. And you know it has to be a good book because book shelf room is limited. Well spotted.
