Trying to earn money living off grid | Canal side trading from my Narrowboat [Ep 59]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this weeks video I cruise along the Trent and Mersey Canal from Dutton through Barnton, Anderton and Marston navigating Saltersford and Barnton Tunnels. I have various overnight stops to go to the Salt Barge Pub, meet friends and use the CRT facilities. I get myself ready for my first full weekends trading this year as a roving canal trader aboard the Pirate Boat at the Anderton Boat lift. This is how I fund my off grid lifestyle. However the weather wasn't very kind and it was unsuccessful, but I did meet some lovely viewers of the channel who came bearing gifts!
Thank you so much for watching. If you do enjoy these videos please subscribe as its free to do and really helps my channel grow.

I sure as hell like it when you see the light at the other end of the tunnels
Me too 😄🏴☠️
I absolutely love the way you judge the time….to have a strong drink, after those tunnels this time! And I didn’t mention before, but Pudding is sooo adorable! Thanks again for sharing…😌🙏
Aww thanks for watching 😃🏴☠️ and cheers 🏴☠️🥃
Don't paint over the the vinyl Heidi! When it peels off, it'll look awful! It comes off dead easy if you use a heat gun, or hair dryer to heat it up, then peel as you heat!
You might not have much food, but don't think you'll run out of rum soon!!! 🤣😂
Haha I’ve loads of rum onboard now which is fantastic as I don’t need to buy any 😂😂 I’ll try that with the vinyl, thank you 😃🏴☠️
Quintessential English birdsong, dandelion (rum) clocks, flow job, stiff ripples, kindly patreons & followers bearing gifts, friend's boats all wonderful! Just a shame about the trading weather.
Thursdays are fast becoming my new Fridays!
Edit: I forgot jacks & pudding!!
Aww thanks Jeff .. it was just one of those weeks where I managed to cram a lot in haha 😃🏴☠️
I did'nt know that getting your hands in a weed hatch requires a proper cleaning from all those things you described.
Why don't you use your RUclips messaging to promote your next trading event? I sent you some coffees to make up with disappointing sales at Anderton.Spend it on anything, you seem well fouraged in the rum department. Will my full name fit in the Captain's Log? Umberto YLTP is just fine, too ;-)
Helen from Northern Narrowboating is a hoot, anything she says is hilarious, "I'm shy" - right!
She has Tony for contrast and keeping her feet on the ground.
Thank you for exposing all your merchandise, I had not seen that yet, and now I did.
Great to see all your friends, family and Pudding. Have a lovely summer, Heidi!
Awww thank you so much, I really appreciate your support … I’ll try to say the full name - how do I pronounce the last word ? 😂😂
Heidi, as I’ve said in another episode , your hair looks marvelous; long or short it doesn’t matter. Please, stop covering your head unless you’re cold!
I like hats 😄
Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland
The bird song was incredible at 4.30am. Not like my early morning call = next doors cockerel sounding off!
A jogging Heidi dropping off rubbish. That's a first. Probably never to be seen ever again
Saltersford and Barnton Tunnels were exciting and kinky too! And I love the new haircut - you look gorgeous.
So sorry that the trading was crappy. Blame the weather this time. But on a sunshine note to finish, how lovely to see Pudding and Jax again.
Another wonderful video. So many laughs, drinks and visits to the pub. Fantastic. Stay safe please
Thanks Michael, it was a lovely time in the pub hahaa 😃🥃🏴☠️
Let them puppy’s run free. We couldn’t tell 😍
😂😂
With all those kinky tunnels in the neighbourhood of where you grew Up, of course you played kinky games 😱☺️🤗
😂😂
Puddin is an absolute star. Gotta luv that face x
PUDDIN!!!! And hi to Jackie too. Heidi your hair looks cute and carefree. Well done!
Aww thanks Jayne 😃🏴☠️
......still bingeing my way along Heidi. Loving your lifestyle but also loving the return of snot cam 🤗. It's quite tricky trying to avoid ( for now) your new releases , as I don't want it to affect the timeline of your adventures. When I eventually catch up it's going to be extremely difficult waiting for Thursday and the new video😁❤.
Aww you will be caught up before you know it 😃🏴☠️
So much fun to watch - rain and all.
Thanks Andy 😄🏴☠️
I guess wearing lippy is a Northern thing ;) I never wear either of those things 😂 Brilliant to hear English morning chorus birdsong again.
I just got home from a 5 or is it 6 day weekend played a 20 minute set at the festival. Then took the caravan up to the hot springs . Squeaky clean now. Wish I could trade our hot weather for your rain. Surrounded by fires not too close but always a smokie haze . Good to see the little fellow and wish I could have been at that music session. It was great to come home to your video.stay happy.
Aww thank you and your festival sounds amazing too 😄🏴☠️ I hope your set went well 😄 it’s absolutely freezing here now .. we can’t win with our weather … one day it’s lovely and warm and the next it’s about 8 degrees and miserable 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I really wish I could trade weather with you for awhile. It’s very hot, smoky and dry.
Jacks & Pudding ......👏🏻🥃👏🏻☠️
😃🏴☠️
‘Il show you mine if you show me yours’ when you was a kid 😂😂😂
You Crack me up Heidi 😂.
😂😂😂 we all did it 😂😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate your right…. We did 😂😂. aaaahhh the Good old days
Nice to see Pudinn and Jackie again. Hope trade improves for you soon.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Heidi, your blog is one of my favorites. "Flow job" is imbedded in my brain. Every time I'm on my tractor mowing it creeps into my sub-conscious and carries me along. I plan to be leaving the un-United States soon, and hope to meet you on the canals. But it'll have to be on a wide one as we're getting "B3"?!?!?!? What's that you say? A "Broad Beam Bitch" hey-eeee!!! The Dandelion's are in the air..... time for Rum....Arrrgh!
Aww wow Eddy, how exciting - that’s brilliant 😃🏴☠️ good luck with your new life chapter 😃
Someone is escaping the Un-united States. Good for you!
Best part of the day I spend a lot of time on my friends narrow boat on the K&A love the morning chorus
Yes it’s gorgeous 😃🏴☠️❤️
Thank you Heidi for another great episode 59. We are all going to definitely celebrate the 69 episode when she comes😎😁
😂😂 me too haha
Not great for the beauty sleep but wonderful for the soul.
Yes it was very beautiful 😃🏴☠️
Hello Jax and pudding. Jax has lost weight. New haircut looks great. Bless you for the shout out Mrs. Blimey you are going to get smashed. I'm glad nobody buys me booze I'd be a friggin mess. Take care love. Ta Ra.
I hardly drink 😂😂🏴☠️
Loved seeing Puddin is still going :) Shame you didn't have a better day trading, but nice to meet up with the parents :)
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Pirating, Plundering, Pillaging, and... PUDDIN!!!
😂😂 yes haha 🏴☠️
After watching yours and other's canal boat living I see that you need to be in good physical health to live this way.
It’s quite a physical outdoor lifestyle yes 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate absolutely!
You should write a song for all those baby swans - you could call it your Cygnet-ure Tune...😉
😂😂 brilliant!
Love your haircut..very nice and I love the look of those bottles of rum 😋😋🏴☠️
Hahaa me love the rum too 😂😂🏴☠️
Great to see Jacks and Puddin'
Yes, it was lovely ❤️🏴☠️
Can't beat a bit of kink and a good slug of rum 😁🥃🥃
😂😂
Another brilliant video young lady, you wont have to buy rum for a bit ,if you ever come up derby way I'll see if i can catch you and keep you stocked up with your favourite tipple, ❤😁👍
Aww thanks Phillip, I’ve got a good stock onboard at the moment 😂😂
2 nice bottles of rum there Heidi. Did u know the first 2 birds awake in the morning are Robins n Blackbirds.( useless info I know🤣) soz the weather wasn't great for ya stall. Cheers...Slurpy👍😊
I love Robins …. The sound of blackbirds in a morning is wonderful …. I also love Rum 😂🏴☠️
Not for me living on a narrowboat but so glad your enjoying your life❤ and making a go of it.
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
You never cease to amaze me how good you are at handling your boat. The short hair suits you too.
Great to see you enjoying yourself with friends and family, Mum, Jack's and Pudding.
I see you also bumped into the Northern Narrowboaters. I have been following them too since they started, we have a bit of fun banter on their vlog.
I still like your way of introducing double entendre and the subtle titillation, if you'll pardon the expression.
The birdsong was nice, but I bet you got up so early to go wee. 🤣
Hahahaa I did Harry 😂😂 thanks again for your lovely comment and for watching 😃🏴☠️❤️
A fair amount of Rum to get through aaahhhhhhh me hearty 🥃
😂😂 cheers Alan 😃🏴☠️
The boat looks great all kitted out with pirate goodies. Oooh Argh!
Shiver me Timbers 😃🏴☠️
Great vlog again I know I mentioned mentioned it might be interesting doing a vlog on diesel v solid fuel stove thanks for doing it. We have a coal cage in our stove we burn about 30kg a week we run it 24/7 so a bag and a half if 20 kg bag we do burn bits of forreged wood but not much
Thank you guys 😄🏴☠️
Nice to see pudding again. Really made me smile
Yes, he is doing fab at the moment 😃🏴☠️
Captain Morgan spiced rum nice drop of splosh
Cheers!
WOW Heidi - you seem to have found your niche in life. So much vitality and enjoyment. Remember "today" is the first day of the rest of your life" - enjoy it to the fullest. I'm a little jealous - you have so much "life" in you. Thanks for all these wonderful videos & comments. Lonnie
aww thanks so much for your lovely comment Lonnie 😄🏴☠️❤️
I love your pixie cut. It really suits you. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦☠️🍻
you are so lucky to wake up to birds singing, the commuter train going past usually wakes me up,
its 5:00 O'clock somewhere.......so it's always rum time 🍸🍾
Cheers 😂😂🥃🏴☠️
I love traveling to UK and I usually travel from Canada Via NY USA to London by 🚢 2 weeks best slow travel wish I knew about boat life to see the UK.
Awww do it … you can hire boats over here for a day, week or more 😄🏴☠️
Nice to see Jacks and Pudding. Are you not a couple anymore ? Hope you don't mind me asking.
Jakki is following her own dreams but we are still great friends 😃🏴☠️
Yay, Pudding! Good to see you! (And Jackie too😁)
Thanks Andrew 😃🏴☠️
So great to see Jacqui and pudding xx
Yes it was lovely seeing them both 😃🏴☠️❤️
hiya like yer air knocks years of you only look about fifty now 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I loved my childhood running free in our port town of Lyttelton in New Zealand (It's in a very old extinct volcano) . Climbing the hills with cousins and just the small town community. Lol the pirate trade might be small but you could be in the rum trade. Fingers crossed you get a few more trading days before Winter creeps in. Take care =-)
Thanks Lorraine, I did a fab weekend the following weekend which is next weeks video 😃🏴☠️
Your hair looks fantastic.
Awww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Two black eyes, so funny, at least I didn't have a mouth full of tea this time !!
😂😂
Nice video, I hope your hair grows back soon.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a lovely comment 😂😂 I don’t wish my hair to grow back - it’s a right faff 😂😂
Great vlog Heidi, so glad pudding shown his lovely little face I was only asking you last week when he was coming 😁enjoy your sailing x
Thanks Judie 😃🏴☠️
Fish Jizzum! Great band name! 👀
😂😂😂
Great sounds in the morning. Like the tune for the tunnels. Loving the hair cut. Hopefully more sales and better weather next time.
Thanks Dave, once the weather picks up it will be fab 😃❤️🏴☠️
Nice one lass. Rock on.
Cheers Paul 😄🥃🏴☠️
Two black eyes that's a classic 🤣
😂😂
Thanks for the video…I always enjoy watching them…stay safe and take care !!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Ahoy Shipmate ,how are you doing "baldy" ,Lovely vlog good to see you trading even if trading wasn';t so hot. Good to see Pudd and the smiling Jacki as well as your Mum in the Pub. Next thing you'll have to do is buy a barrel to store all that Rum, they don't break like bottles will although I have a feeling they wont last too long *LOL*
Off to do some stocking.... not stalking you one tracked hussy .*grin*
TTFn luvz ya lotsXXX
Thanks so much Ralph 😃🏴☠️ it was an action packed week 😂🥃🏴☠️

@@TheNarrowboatPirate You're welcome 😊
So easy to see why you live boating so much. Nice to see Jackie and puddin just keep going and enjoying your life
Thanks Kath 😃🏴☠️
Rum time for you… Scotch and Cigar time for me. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 Enjoy it no matter what the drink is.
Oh I had couple of good laughs with this one. Caught you playing with your hose😂! Haircut looks great! I spied Andy Tidy at your group cheers, love his channel, I’ve learned a lot of history about the British waterways from him. Canals fascinate this 🇺🇸.
Your fans adore you and keep you well supplied with rum❤️. Thanks for brightening my day Heidi. Happy cruising and best of luck for sunny towpath trading this weekend.🏴☠️
Aww thanks so much Dawn 😃🏴☠️ I’m glad you noticed the hose 😂😂
I like your videos.
Thanks for watching 🏴☠️😄
Great hair cut wow all those gifts how lovely that people drop by and give you gifts. Shame your first weekend trading was a bit crap but it the first one. Lovely to see you mom dad and friends all enjoying the evening take care
Yes that’s the downside of the British weather unfortunately but the following weekend (next weeks video) makes up for it 😃🏴☠️
Awesome lass !
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Do miss Jackie and the old boy ... Might have been a moist one but pants aside the vlog was a cracker x
😂😂 thanks Matt 🏴☠️
Hi Heidi
Thanks for putting me on your vlog.it was very special to catch up with you and Mark again 💕
Hope your trading picks up soon.
It's always Rum time 🍻
Safe cruising our pirate girl 🏴☠️ xxxxx
Aww thanks Mark 😃🏴☠️❤️ hopefully see you again soon 😃
Thanks for the bird song!
😄🏴☠️
A few bottles to keep you going, good to see the old chap puddin, and Jax of course.
Thanks Mike 😃🏴☠️
When you are moored up for a couple of days out in the countryside what do you do i.e., what do you do with your time? Chores? Walks? Reading? Exercising? Birding? Knitting? (I've run out of ideas). When I watch vlogs (not just your channel) it seems that they usually start with the cruise and someone will say "we've been in this beautiful spot for 2 days and now we are moving on" and I say to the folks on my screen "what did you DO in that beautiful spot?!!!" but of course they don't hear me. Part of the intrigue/curiosity for me of living the narrowboat life is wondering how different/same everyday living is. Maybe the beautiful spot has something unique to offer.
Ahoy, as shown in other videos I unfortunately have to work .. I have a badge making business which keeps me quite busy and then I spend a lot of time biking, walking to find the nearest post office to where I am moored which often takes me on new adventures …. Obviously there are the usual chores such as cleaning, shopping etc finding the nearest shop can be a mission … then I have editing to do - each video takes me about 15 hrs to edit together .. I don’t get much down time as boat life can be very hectic as it isn’t easy, I have to generate my own power, empty toilets, fill with water etc but there is a lot of socialising living on a boat with fellow boaters etc 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Gotcha! However a video "a day (or two) in the life of non-cruising Heidi" might be fun. Jo and Vic did that once (& yes she folded laundry but it gives a picture). Just a suggestion. Thanks for the reply.
@@susansisk455 I’ve done lots of ‘normal’ things in previous videos 😃🏴☠️
I do enjoy your vlogs dear pirate! You are such fun, cool, wise and adventurous. I will be tagging along till I have seen ‘the lot’ and beyond. Many many thanks
Nice run
😂
Superb. 🙂
Thanks 🤗🏴☠️
Superb filming and commentaries Heidi
together with home grown music accompaniments

A great vlog good to see Puddin and the old girl looking after him are both doing fine. Your mum looked happy as well. Hope you get some better trading weather soon .
Thanks Sid 😃🏴☠️
I must be getting old a few years ago I would have come up with that plan of lurking on pavement with a bottle of rum 😂.
I'm impressed with your shop ! Good on you.
Awww thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
Howdy Heidi Jacs and Pudding. Great cruise and love your set up to trade. It must have been great to be back home. Oh and hello Mum. Fantastic vlog. Cheers Keith Melbourne Australia.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pretty smart tunnel navigation this week! Puddin' !!! Lovely to see both him and Jacky.
At 4.30 a.m. even Pirates get a lippie & bra pass. Your hair looks lovely btw, now you're Heidi the Pixie Pirate! ☠️🦜🏴☠️ Wahay!!! Xx
Whey hey 😂😂🏴☠️🥃
How lovely to see pudding and Jackie. Also nice to see the northerners as I follow them, absolutely nuts but in a funny way. Heidi you might do more trade if you sold rum.🤣🤩🤪☠take care. ❤
😂😂 I would need to get another license for that 😂cheers 🥃
First!
😂😂
As usual I've read through some of the previous comments and they echo my feelings well, Was good to see the little feller looking so well and Jacks too, bet you miss the company let alone the extra hands when locking and mooring. Fingers crossed for better trading to come the weather is always going to be crucial. As always Bab stay safe and thank you.....xxx
Awww thank you Bob … weather can be a pain being a Pirate 😃🏴☠️❤️
Damn your Channel is like crack 😳 I ended up Binge watching from 6pm to 230 am it was like looking for another hit. You need to market a narcan for your channel to keep us weirdos from having a OD
😂😂 awww thanks so much for watching that really means a lot 🏴☠️❤️😄
Why aren't there any beauty salon / hair cutting boats? There's a wide open market there!
There are a few hair dressing boats with with over 2000 miles of connected waterways we never all meet or pass each other
