    Awwww, this is my favorite ever of your videos so far, Robbie. It was so satisfying watching you bring your narrow boat renovation dreams to life. And I never in a million years dreamed that axe-throwing would look like fun….until now. Well done!

    I have to say this was one of the best narrowboaty vid I've watched. My bruv lives on a narrowboat in Wales & this vid just sums up the great community, camaraderie you will find in basins like this around the country. As you say there's no one-up-manship, just good, sincere people helping each other out. Respect to you, Nev & Barry

    The work on the boat looks great and you are doing it which makes it more personnel. Never tried knife or axe throwing looks fun but not a Pub activity.

    Great vlog Robbie very honest.
    Like me if I start a job and I have never done it before it's tough but with patience and time to think how too you get there in the end and your right that there is a great deal of satisfaction on your achievements.
    Finding routines that you are comfortable with is of great benefit to your well-being.
    I like you have a pub of the week every week and I really really like going to.
    Keep safe on your travels and try not to fall in the canal
    Thank you for your time and efforts to produce your vlogs it means a great deal to me and my wife we love to see your work.
    Keep safe warm dry and virus free.

    Great vid! If you don't screw up occasionally, you'll never learn anything! I'm glad Barry is still doing good! I like your boat, because it looks lived in and has character! It may not be "polished" as some boats are (and "polish" is good too!), but like my home, it's what I have so it's perfect, or I change it to make it perfect for me, just like what you're doing on your boat! When you can make stuff yourself, learn how to do it, or have a good friend to help or teach you, that's great and getting supplies cheap or free is just icing on the cake! Keep up the work on the tomahawk and knife throwing! Thanks!

    I’ve been re-watching some of your vlogs. Dibbing in and out from 5 years ago to now. I just want to say.... you come across as such a kind, considerate and very genuine man. Telling patreons to stop donating during the pandemic if they’re struggling, doing these vlogs for the right reasons- an art form and not to make money, and just how able you are to bounce back from the trial, tribulations and challenges of life... even when you don’t really want to or don’t know how to. We’re all in charge of the person we are. Life is all about making the most of it- having a laugh, meeting new people, having new adventures and well, if things don’t turn out how we dreamed, there’s always a bit of axe throwing to get the adrenaline pumping again! Thank you for being... you.
    Perhaps a bit of a liability here and there (!! 😂😂) but always a gent. 🤗🤗 xx

      @@RobbieCumming 🤣 that’s the badger! “Gentlemanly liability”! You’re welcome honey.
      Just a thought: Would you be able to do a blog about moving onto the water- or have you already and I haven’t seen it? Id love to move onto a boat but it seems insurmountable just now. I overthink a bit too, maybe. I’m trying to get my head around saving for one while paying (pretty expensive) rent; I worry a bit about leaving the boat and how secure it’d be; I’m RUBBISH at DIY and genuinely think I might just sink the thing by making a ‘rookie’, silly mistake.... Anyway, what do you think? (Oh, I’ll be on my own too, so no ‘man hands’ to help me!) 🤗🤗 xx
