    I'm ALMOST sold on narrowboating. I've got a question regarding heating the boat? ...How do you heat it when you have to go out tonwork for 8-9 hours and nobody's there? Or when you go to the pub for 5 hours with your friends...and come back to a 30° steel hull?! What if it's too late...like 11pm, and you have to get up for work at 5am - work all day, and leave your dog at home? Yeah...that!

    Yes, this is a super interesting subject! I never knew about this life style until my feed started pulling up videos after watching one of your videos. I have never been to Europe but have wanted to for years and this is the type of thing that I would love to see. Thanks for keeping it real and can't wait to see the upcoming videos.

      @Dean Imran I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
      Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    That's a dream way of life. Me and my friend have been looking at ways to live of grid and the narrowboat is one option we have been keen to explore. We also wondered what the options are for buying land on the canal to make your own mooring and have a bit land with it

    • @narrowboatfarm6218

      we bought land to make moorings, it's a tricky one. Ecology Building Society offer mortgages in the UK for this

    Can you narrowboat to the English Canals? Like is there a river connection between Scotland & England or maybe a coast crossing? Just wondering because after watching several narrowboat vlogs on the English side (lots of canals) this is the 1st vlog I came across on the Scots side. (Note: not from UK, so forgive my idiocy 😁)

    • @narrowboatfarm6218
      @narrowboatfarm6218  4 года назад

      only in a sea-going vessel unless you're very brave!!! There is no canal between England and Scotland and you'd be out at sea for about 200 miles!

      @@narrowboatfarm6218 Ah thanks! I guess that sums up my knowledge of boats lol Anyway, after seeing all the narrowboat content at the English side, it's interesting to see the canals of Scotland (Lovely place. Been to Edinburgh once. Bucket list still up in the air is Skye & Outer Hebrides ... but I'd like to see that big lock in Falkirk). 😃

    Hi. I'm thinking of buying a narrow boat in Scotland. Where is the best place to start? Are there yards, marinas that sell them? I've seen plenty in England but none at home. I'd be looking to live on it permanently. Thank you

    • @narrowboatfarm6218

      the best thing is to have a chat with existing boaters to see what boats are available and where best to moor. I know it's a bit tricky just now. You can send me a private message on here (i think) and i can get you started. The official channel is to look at the 'living on water' website but you'll get a load of pen-pushers slowing you down that way ;-)
