Kevin, so glad you were able to voice your opinion, full of common sense, regarding the COVID mess that enveloped all of us. I did learn by watching your videos that Britain wasn’t as tyrannical as I thought. That’s good news. My state in the US was one of the few that kept most things open. I do understand your concern about voicing your opinion too much because of the tyranny of the video platform. It’s been great to discover you. Keep on keepin’ on.
Thank you Kevin, knowing that someone 4,500 miles away feels how I do is somewhat comforting. Being able to travel the canal with you is a privilege. Thank you again!
Writing from the USA. You are right about everything you said. This is one of your best videos! I found the overcast skies to be quite soothing. You look healthy. I never tire of your videos and commentary.
So wonderful seeing you & Aslan again. Her “boom, boom, boom,” is such a welcoming & therapeutic sound i enjoy in every episode. Safe and healthy travels are wished for you this holiday season.
@@CountryHouseGent i have been in hospital for over a month. Your travels have truly helped my sanity and i would have been lost without this amazing discovery of your show . Thank you
ok, hands up all those who answered Kevin's " Am I Bitter?" rhetorical comment? Its lovely to see you back on the move, Kevin! Hang in there and keep us up to date with your beautifully observed vlogs.
The beard is excellent. Sorry for the Johnny-come-lately comment, but I just "found" you and Aslan two weeks ago. : ) No better narrow boat canal videos out there than these and my husband is especially enthralled with your cooking videos. Thank you for all the hard work you put in so we can live an ideal life albeit vicariously.
Great to see you again Kevin. No need to apologise for the political rant. It’s bad enough loosing freedom to travel. But now we’re loosing free speech
@@shawnhillman8630 He said this. “The world today has 6.8 billion people,” Gates said during the talk. “That’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15%.”
Well, being in Arizona USA I would like to see some of the insides of some of the shops and chandlers. If it is permitted to (film) inside. Also I noticed that the sizes of the containers you use seem to be smaller than I am used to seeing. Is that because of your reduced storage space or that is just the size that things are sold in? It doesn't pay to comment on anything political as someone with a different opinion will take great pleasure in slapping you down for what you express. Keep up the good work.
How dare you have an opinion about people expressing their opinions! Don't worry we'll teach you in the re-education camps! (Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" plays softly in the background)
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 Really wasn't bitching, just observing that covid has been politicized along with pretty much all of pop culture and the internet. It seems inescapable these days as further proved by this video.
@@stevemarvin thats because it IS inescapable if you choose to ignore it, or decide its G5, or its a hoax, or its Bill Gates after our DNA! As far as politizing it goes, its obvious the oposition will complain about everything, the remainers will use it for fake news, the journalists will twist and turn it to create news, instead of doing their job - reporting news! Ignore them and follow the science. Its the science that cured other diseases, found the vaccine etc. (The rest of the morons totally overlooking we dont need Bill Gates, they have your DNA from the new borns, last blood test, visit to the dentist, covid test, etc. If its done one thing its exposed the amount of stupidity there is around us!)
Kevin, on a positive note, I was very happy to see your upload today. The sound of that beautiful McLaren engine and the sights along the canal gave me a lift. Thanks, mate.
Great to see you again. 2020 has been hard for so many people in so many ways.. I really hope 2021 is better for us all. Great video as ever - thanks Kevin !
We just started watching you and appreciate your sense of humor, your cooking, and most especially your openness about the Non Sense going on worldwide…. As much as you can and keep your channel that is. Thank You.
Berners! I am sitting next to my Bernese Mountain Dog watching you Putt-Putt past an entire pack. Thanks for the video from Traverse City Michigan, USA...
Gotta say, the beard works. Looks good. Glad to see you are doing better. You look well. Which is always good thing. You are still the benchmark for narrow boat blogs. Always a blessing. Thank you. Scott
The thought occurs to me that you have been given a once in a generation (or two) opportunity to document this historic event and present it in your unique context. I'm glad that you are able to observe and comment on these present day struggles while continuing your authentic life journey. It's so easy to get caught up in frustrations and it can be a challenge to disengage from the drama and live in harmony with the situation. I'm reminded of this with every trip down the canals on Aslan. Thanks for welcoming me aboard. Bless you, Kevin, and happy holidays!
I love this brilliant video with the beautiful scenery of England, and thank you for sharing it with viewers, who enjoy your work. Stay focused with capturing the the beautiful scenery of the UK on the canals as it is your saving grace through this c19 mess.
Kevin, all the way from just south of St. Louis, MO we enjoy you just about every evening. Well done! In fact, we have watched your various series over and over again. Very enjoyable, informative, relaxing, and entertaining all at the same time. Very unique series.
bang on brother, free country, free speech. always be honest and say what you think, loved the start of the vlog when you take the keys !!!. crack on pal.
Ha, I thought when Kevin took his first trip, how could he live with that constant thump, thump, thump. I've watched all the episodes After Aslan was not to be heard for months, I sure did miss her thump, thump, thump. Yes, and Kevin narrating, too.
I thought I was watching Alan from My Narrowboat Venture for a split second. Great to see you back Kevin, hopefully you can stick with us over christmas.
You're spot on with your frustrations, I agree 100%. Keep the cameras rolling, and by continuing to do what makes you happy, you are in fact living the free lifestyle you sought. Not a bad Beavis & Butthead impersonation either haha
We sprung forward today and it's a very cold March day. So, I'm going back and rewatching many of your splendid vids in my cozy home. Thank you again and again, Kevin!
Oofully good to see you back. The “Boom, Boom, Boom” is refreshing as ever. Tears for tiers here on California as well. I might detect a hint of sarcasm in your narrative. But that’s just me.
Hi kev. Good to see you out and about!! Rant!! What rant!!! That wasn’t a rant.... just saying what most people around the world is thinking and totally fed up with it all, and totally agree with you re tier system.... as most people will. We’d rather be living your style life if he had the option without a second thought. Stay safe!!
Thank you Kevin. Finally a YouTubing boater with the balls to have an opinion on the C19 fiasco without worrying about losing viewers. Don’t worry about the few viewers you will lose over this. They are probably having problems getting internet under the beds they are hiding under. Best wishes NB WARSTEINER
Thank you Warren. It's been an eye opener reading the overwhelming number of comments from viewers who feel the same way, and are in the same boat so to speak. Of course there are some that have taken offence at me explaining my personal experience over the past 9 months. Cheers ☺
I know I say this every time... but to push play and hear the cluck cluck cluck cluck of Aslan just puts a smile on my face and it never get's old - so no apologies! Right there with yah Kevin; on the geopolitical nonsense! Cheers!
Don't wonder why your Prime season wasn't renewed. I thank you for voicing your opinions and still doing your season on YT. Many of us agree with you wholeheartedly. Godspeed!
The beard looks outstanding. Great seeing you back at work on the canal. Try not to worry. Paraphrasing one of the performers on the Saturday night comedy show from New York, "...the light at the end of the tunnel has showed us how stinky and bad the tunnel is." My own belief is that during 2021 you and I and the rest of us will once again be able to move forward giving free rein to our efforts and ambition, the frustrations of the past months merely an unpleasant memory...
I think you have one of the best shows. You have me hooked on narrow boats. I live in upstate NY right near the Erie canal and we are renting a narrow boat to go from Albany NY to Buffalo NY.
That's lovely to hear Nancy. I've heard a lot about the Erie Canal and would love to try that, though the pandemic makes that unlikely now. Have a wonderful and slow trip. ☺
Umm, Aslan's draught is 30" and I haven't dragged yet, James. I've heard rumours of a 36" draught making it but the canal is v shaped, which means sticking to the middle and mooring is only possible in a few places, like Billsborrow, Garstang and Lancaster.
“Only speak for one or two “ is an understatement. Being out of work for a year (blessing in disguise/break from grid) , don’t miss politics so it was nice freedom not going to an office and appreciating simplicity. But lately everything feels so dictated...guess every country is feeling it in the name of COViD. In our lifetimes with advanced innovation...who would’ve thought it’d go on this long, guess we just got to make the best of things 😊We are glad you are back online, familiar comfort to the soul....it’s okay to rant a little , it makes you human 😎 stay safe and calm
More lockdown! Damn. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about us ‘new world’ gongoozlers. We will be waiting for you on the other side of this. I hope you are writing. I look forward to reading your memoirs. And I would definitely buy your cookbook, “Tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, & onions!’
Hi Kevin, always good to see your post and video. My wife Lana and I dearly enjoy your travels, and living outside the system. We are all in this together, and will see the other side soon. Like the beard! I agree with Jane J. that the sound of Aslan's engine IS theraputic. Peace and Joy in this season, Los Osos, CA, US
I watch your vlogs and I get honesty , so freedom of speech can stuff it’s self. The dug dug of the engine ,the peace of the canal puts it all in to perspective. Hopefully 2021 will be the start of something good.😂😂
Greetings Kevin, I so did miss Aslan, but she makes me feel lots happier with her chugging ! Retirement has been somewhat altered by this pandemic ,but thankfully I don't have to go to work at the hospital.Stay well and take care from San Bernardino California!
Good to see you again. At first I though you were taking on the Seattle 1980s Grunge band look with the beard, the hat and plaid shirt. Looks good on ya'. Yes, this weird long strange trip we have been in with COVID........No need to apologize for the rant. We are all feeling it and have differing thoughts on it, one thing is true you cannot negotiate with COVID. Be safe out there and keep up your spirits! Cheers from Seattle and Happy Holidays!! :-)
@@CountryHouseGent Yes, time will be the tell. It is kind of a combo of Fahrenheit 451 and A Journal of the Plague Year , LOL! My Mom, rest her soul, always said never underestimate a typical day. Peace! :-)
It’s okay to be annoyed as you seem. All I care about is that you return to us, your big fans, and stay well. I’d love to hear about your daily life, inside and outside, over past few months you were quiet. We really have missed you! Please keep sending out your videos. And be reassured that this too shall pass. Oh, love your beard!!
I like the beard. I have had one for all but my first 16 years of life. Slowly on my good man. Yelling maniac at the M6 was brilliant! Let the world rush by.....we are in no hurry, those of us who quit the rat race.
So good to see you, and nice to see you travelling! I totally agree about the cancel culture we are in, it is harmful to society. What would old Bertie Russell say?? You look great! Looking forward to the next video :)
Just saw this was posted! SO HAPPY to see you have returned. I shall save this video for viewing this evening when I may give it my full attention. Meanwhile...the beard suits you.
Yes, I as well applaud the apolitical commentary, as one said in the comments. Random note here, I want to point out the intro music and how wonderful it is! Love how all of this is you. Director, editor, composer, producer, production... a regular Stanely Kubrick. Love your music compositions! CHG needs to release an album.
So good to see you again. Loving the Lancaster Canal with its scenery, beautiful landscape. And gently chugging along. Thank you for a nice escape during our Covid Stay at Home orders again in California. Merry Christmas, wishing for all a Happier Healthier New Year. 🎄🎀❤
Agree about tiers Bloody ridiculous. North Northumberland Tier 3 👎🏻 On the subject of it not passing over that house’s land, looked more like it was following the contours (contour canal) ? Loved this video ✊🏻 If we shan’t here from you again Merry Christmas Fcuk off 2020 and a HaPpY New Year. 💪🏻
Thank for another great video. And no apologies needed my way, I do understand what your talking about and totally agree with you. Stay safe and cheers
So glad to see you again!! Here in the US, masks are pretty much "required " everywhere (except in restaurants because all are closed and most have permanently closed). How about the UK? Beautiful stretch of canal. All that you opined about loss of freedoms are true here also.
You're back! Great to hear that 50's blump...blump. blump ..of a classic engine. Your choice of clips ...seamlessly wound into a memorable piece is very,very nice.All the Best ..and keep on keepin' on!
Well, quite a response I reckon. Anyway, on a lighter note; I'd be interested to learn which tent you plumped for re. your motorcycle adventures. Thank you and atb.
Hi Russell. The tent is a Vango Banshee 200 Pro. The Pro model is slightly longer and taller than the standard 200, for lanky people like me. It's claimed to be a 2 man tent but as normal, it's more suited to one, plus equipment. Very quick to pitch and really only for sleeping in as little space for daytime use. Very small packed size and extremely light. ☺
Hi yes I'm buy a canal boat because I'm to done with society and the BS, im glad you didnt mention the 20 patients they had in the nightingale hospital in London that holds 4,000 beds because were not aloud an a opinion Lol excellent video nice and relaxing to watch ☺👍

Thanks Janice. Same here, it's a relief to know I wasn't imagining it all. Cheers ☺
You're not alone.

That's really good of you to say. Thanks Shane
You're so right about it being therapeutic, and a heck of a lot more than the Cat 3406 I was used to in my carnival days.
ok, hands up all those who answered Kevin's " Am I Bitter?" rhetorical comment?
Its lovely to see you back on the move, Kevin! Hang in there and keep us up to date with your beautifully observed vlogs.
You speak for many of us! Love your videos! Hang in there!
Thank you Kevin for your honest commentary and your take on the current situation
You can't hear me but I'm applauding your apolitical commentary.
I have good hearing Bella ☺

Nice to see the canal and life along it. You are reflecting the views of everyone that I know.
Great to see you again Kevin. No need to apologise for the political rant. It’s bad enough loosing freedom to travel. But now we’re loosing free speech
Weve lost free speech if your not with them your against them.
I've lost nothing, say what I wish, but understand good science, and our need to stay safe.
@@shawnhillman8630 I say what I wish too. The virus and lockdown are NWO BS. Like Gates said. The vax is here to depopulate the planet.

Yes, we seem to be hanging on by the skin of our teeth. Great to hear from you. Have a jolly (regulated) Xmas. 😊

We are all feeling it and have differing thoughts on it, one thing is true you cannot negotiate with COVID. Be safe out there and keep up your spirits! Cheers from Seattle and Happy Holidays!! :-)
Best wishes to you Ann. For sure, it's like living in a distopian novel. Just that I can't yet decide if it's badly or well written?
@@CountryHouseGent Yes, time will be the tell. It is kind of a combo of Fahrenheit 451 and A Journal of the Plague Year , LOL! My Mom, rest her soul, always said never underestimate a typical day. Peace! :-)
Yes Ann, that's sage advice. Mum's always know best. 😍
Great to hear the sound of Aslan again.
Lovely to see you again Kevin.... 😀
It’s okay to be annoyed as you seem. All I care about is that you return to us, your big fans, and stay well. I’d love to hear about your daily life, inside and outside, over past few months you were quiet. We really have missed you! Please keep sending out your videos. And be reassured that this too shall pass. Oh, love your beard!!
Good to see you back. The beard looks great 👍
I like the beard. I have had one for all but my first 16 years of life. Slowly on my good man. Yelling maniac at the M6 was brilliant! Let the world rush by.....we are in no hurry, those of us who quit the rat race.
So good to see you, and nice to see you travelling! I totally agree about the cancel culture we are in, it is harmful to society. What would old Bertie Russell say?? You look great! Looking forward to the next video :)
I follow you from here in the USA and I love love love what you are doing and I share your COVID frustrations.
The tier explanation makes perfect sense. To some people. In London. Who need the economy to flow there ;)
Just saw this was posted! SO HAPPY to see you have returned. I shall save this video for viewing this evening when I may give it my full attention. Meanwhile...the beard suits you.
Yes, I as well applaud the apolitical commentary, as one said in the comments. Random note here, I want to point out the intro music and how wonderful it is! Love how all of this is you. Director, editor, composer, producer, production... a regular Stanely Kubrick. Love your music compositions! CHG needs to release an album.
Kevin, your opinion matters. Thanks for all you do!
Kevin good to hear Aslan chugging along and also to hear you talking.
So good to see you again. Loving the Lancaster Canal with its scenery, beautiful landscape. And gently chugging along.
Thank you for a nice escape during our Covid Stay at Home orders again in California. Merry Christmas, wishing for all
a Happier Healthier New Year. 🎄🎀❤
Many thanks and the best of season's wishes to you all, Sharon. ☺

The beard looks great.
Agree about tiers Bloody ridiculous. North Northumberland Tier 3 👎🏻
On the subject of it not passing over that house’s land, looked more like it was following the contours (contour canal) ?
Loved this video ✊🏻
If we shan’t here from you again
Merry Christmas Fcuk off 2020 and a HaPpY New Year. 💪🏻
Thank you Kevin! I needed some CountryHouseGent in my day.
Thank for another great video. And no apologies needed my way, I do understand what your talking about and totally agree with you. Stay safe and cheers
Good on you mate. We have all had enough of this crap.
What do you do with your motor bike when you are traveling on your boat?
So glad to see you again!! Here in the US, masks are pretty much "required " everywhere (except in restaurants because all are closed and most have permanently closed). How about the UK?
Beautiful stretch of canal. All that you opined about loss of freedoms are true here also.
Pretty much the same here Christine. Masks required in all indoor places, except pubs and restsurants - but same as with you, they're closed anyway.
You're back! Great to hear that 50's blump...blump. blump ..of a classic engine. Your choice of clips ...seamlessly wound into a memorable piece is very,very nice.All the Best ..and keep on keepin' on!
I appreciate that, thank you.
Enjoyed your views on what the powers to be are doing to the everyday people, I am from Texas, we try to be complety free!
Well, quite a response I reckon. Anyway, on a lighter note; I'd be interested to learn which tent you plumped for re. your motorcycle adventures. Thank you and atb.
Hi Russell. The tent is a Vango Banshee 200 Pro. The Pro model is slightly longer and taller than the standard 200, for lanky people like me. It's claimed to be a 2 man tent but as normal, it's more suited to one, plus equipment. Very quick to pitch and really only for sleeping in as little space for daytime use. Very small packed size and extremely light. ☺
Interesting choice - hugely popular tent among the backpacking fraternity. I just hope it won't prove to be too coffinesque on inclement days. Atb. 👍
Looking good, Kevin, with that full beard.
Hi yes I'm buy a canal boat because I'm to done with society and the BS, im glad you didnt mention the 20 patients they had in the nightingale hospital in London that holds 4,000 beds because were not aloud an a opinion Lol excellent video nice and relaxing to watch ☺👍
The full set is looking good on you Kevin! Stay safe out there!!
