I was a RUclips ranter for a while. I didn't know there was a button "Don't send me videos from this channel" until just last year. Like your new chalet David. I was thinking, what if I painted all the walls in my house green and then wore those $4000 Apple VR Goggles? I could be on a canal boat on all the canals in the UK...
David, thanks for the "Stable Volume" tip. As a former video and audio editor, I wondered why content producers had began having sloppy audio. Now I know why. I never noticed RUclips had added an AGL "Feature" to further complicate life. Happy New Year to you!
I thought when the engine was "burbling" he'd gone deaf, it was like an RB211, so it's good that he's addressed that's it's a RUclips stable volume problem!?!
OMG David, you're my hero. The noise level thing has been driving me nuts and now I know why. Thank you for this very informative video and look forward to all you've planned for this new year.
12:20 Those sorts of confirmation emails frequently get routed to users' Spam folder, so perhaps add "If you don't get that confirmation email within , go looking in your Spam folder for it"?
David how did you get into my cabin in Northern Minnesota 😳 😂. Love the video back ground and I hope your New Year is full of good surprises and many cheese sandwiches.😊
Loving your log cabin-esqe background. We are far removed from lock down, as we are now in 2025 but, David I'm still watching! the world is still watching. Where you lead, so shall we follow. I'm not as generous as some in supporting you. Times they are a coming. So hopefully these kind words and this £5 will warm your heart in the upcoming freeze😍
Happy New Year David! Thanks for the tip about "Stable Volume" - RUclips is always tinkering with stuff. Your videos are always a "must watch", no matter the subject matter. Thanks for such entertaining and informative vids.
Stable volume disabled! Thanks David. + Happy New Year! {Edit: Still get very nostalgic, hearing your end lead-out music on each post, for the pleasure of watching your Cruising the Cut vlogs starting from No.1 sitting with a cup of tea and a biscuit throughout lockdown.]
I get the monthly newsletter on my email. It's lovely to sit and read with a cup'o'tea, like reading the canal magazine (which sadly I can no longer afford😕
Happy new year David 🎉 great vlog as usual wow some good content coming our way for 2025 and have to say glad to see the variation coming with lots of chitter chatter along the way....can't wait for the top secret reveal 😂....all signed up for newsletter and completed confirmation on email 👍🏼
I enjoy your videos. You manage to incorporate an excellent mix of humour, information and culture. I find your videos very uplifting and a nice escape from the gloom and doom elsewhere. Have a great year.
Oh! It's David again. It seems like every time I turn around I see you pop up on my RUclips! LOL Love your videos and vandamonium also. Have a wonderful 25' Cheers from Spokane Washington.
Thanks David. Happy new year! Great tip about the audio stabilisation. We've had lots of comments on our videos about that recently and we didn't notice an issue when we completed the edit. We will pass on the tip to our subscribers.
I didn't know about that setting. It is now off! Thanks for the subscriptions page hint as well and I'm going to check out Wallace and Grommet. Happy New Year!
I really enjoy your vlogs...all of them. Our dream is to rent a Narrow Boat for a Holiday. We are getting up there in age, so we should do it sooner rather than later. We were so happy to see that you took a cruise holiday. We really like to cruise and we have been on around 18 or 19 of them. There is an explanation about that, but I won't bore you with the details. We have been with you since the beginning. Keep up the good work!
Great job on the "chuga, chuga, chuga, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet." What talent! Have you thought about making a video doing the sound effects heard on a narrow boat? ☺
Love the rants! Happy New Year from Cape Town. Imagine the number of locks for a canal from sea level to Dullstroom, our highest town in South Africa, sitting at an altitude of 2100 meters above sea level, 1700 kilometers apart.
It always puzzled me when people said RUclips wasn’t showing a channel’s videos. It makes sense if people aren’t going to the subscribe tab. People, take control of your RUclips experience!! Don’t rely on the RUclips algorithm!
Got to watch Vengeance Most Fowl at the Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades, California. It's delightful! I loves the contrast inside/outside the narrow boat. Thanks for the recommendation! It's a feast for the eyes per usual.
I thought i was the only person in the RUclips galaxy who looked at all the settings, and pleased to know there are others out there. I have a further complaint about the settings. For some of them, and i'm not sure 'stable volume' is one, once you turn them off, you cannot then turn them back on. That setting button goes inactive. David, if you're reading this, are you able to knock on the door of the almighty, and tell them the settings buttons must be active, once you have made your selection ? Thanks for bringing up the topic, in any case. And, Happy New Year to you - will always be interested in your choices for 'interesting things to make vlogs about'. I saw your Christmas 🎄dinner with Lorna and The Bears. Lovely to see her boat-home and that she made dinner for everyone - aren't The Bears one of the most helpful cruisers around ? They were cruising with a couple for a while, quite a while ago, and seemed to be their Guardian Angels. Happy New Year - Twiggy Adventures await ! 🌟
I found your channel way, way back when you did a video how locks are made and places, almost 7 years ago. And I like how you approach the video's. You're right, it does have something for everyone.
yes seen the film. Brilliant. So many nods to other classic films like the famous bus scene in the Italian job. The scene where the narrow boat teeters back and forth for those who might not know.
And a Very Happy New Year to you too, David. Good tips there. I don't use RUclipss home page, I just use my subscriptions page, no history turn on reminder that way. I hadn't realised about the new stable volume feature being automaticaly turned to on, I thought it was deeper in the settings and would be off as standard...off now, cheers.
David, I actually saw Vengeance Most Fowl a couple of days ago and instantly thought of the channel, specifically your video about the Pontcysyllte aqueduct.
Thank you for the youtube tips - I thought I had it sussed (I set alerts on most of the channels I'm interested in) but didn't know about the subscriptions tab 🙄 Also I'd missed the stable volume option! I wish companies wouldn't change software (and I'm fairly technical). Anyway - thanks for the chat and I'm looking forwards to your top secret future project! Good luck!
So many notes made of interesting news I ran out of paper! 😂 It did come with a warning (tea &biscuits ready?) which I should have heeded💙 Re vlog content - "variety is the spice of life" so 2025 will be interesting. TOP SECRET- 🤨🤗 - trip/ purchase or? Will reset my sound/ check subscription and sign up for newsletter ( correctly). Phew - there is wine in the fridge-🥂 needed😂. All the best for any/ all projects in 2025 - thanks in anticipation Jan South Aust🎉
I just check your site regularly even though I am a subscriber and have sites as open tabs on Chrome. Thanks for the tips espy stable audio! I'm excited to learn what you planning for us this year! Wishing you a great year ahead.
Happy New Year David. I must be a bit of an odd bird in that I like the lot - Twiggy, Canal Restoration/repair/maintenance, boat visits, etc. Even the ASMR. Thanks for all the content.
Greetings 🫡 from Eastpointe , Michigan 🇺🇸 U S A MERRY CHRISTMAS . HAPPY NEW YEARS 🎉 👋🏻👋🏻 😜😡😠 better film that completion of the rebuild of the transom on twiggy. I like the video's you do about the canels. Rebuilding. Replacement of them so on & so forth. 👍🏻💪🏻
😂 it's good to have a good vent every now an again! Looking forward to seeing this top secret event you've got planned mums the word, hush hush and all that. I hope you have a fantastic new year sir! ✝️🇺🇲👍
Happy New Year David. You’re right, Wallace & Gromit’s narrowboat chase was brilliant. The detail was exceptional. It was the best thing on tv over Christmas.
Happy New Year Mr David Johns from a John David. I'm an old viewer hut a new subcriber to your newsletter. (Dunno how i missed that). Anyhoo, have another great year and cheers from Australia.
I love all of your videos on any subject. Your communication skills would make watching grass grow fascinating...🙂 All the best for 2025 !!!
Can’t wait for “the thing “ in January, whatever it is! Happy New Year.
Gosh, I do enjoy a “David rant”! This one did not disappoint 😂
Happy New Year David 👏👏👍😀
I was a RUclips ranter for a while. I didn't know there was a button "Don't send me videos from this channel" until just last year. Like your new chalet David. I was thinking, what if I painted all the walls in my house green and then wore those $4000 Apple VR Goggles? I could be on a canal boat on all the canals in the UK...
@@WillN2Go1 What a ridiculous idea...............On the other hand....
I'm subscribed to you, and over 600 other channels. I use RUclips via the desktop website, and I go to my Subscriptions page at least once a day.
David hope you have a great New Year. Thanks for the tip on that blasted stable volume setting. I turned it off as you were talking about it.
Happy new year!
Me too. 😊
David, Happy New Year.
Very interesting and informative video. Thanks for the stable volume tip.
Looking forward to following you in 2025
Turned the stuff off the moment I saw it in the app a few months ago. Unfortunately most people don't dig through the settings like I do obsessively.
Yes, great tip. However, after a few moments, stable volume turns itself back on??? 😢😢
David, thanks for the "Stable Volume" tip. As a former video and audio editor, I wondered why content producers had began having sloppy audio. Now I know why. I never noticed RUclips had added an AGL "Feature" to further complicate life. Happy New Year to you!
It Won't Let me Turn It OFF!!! 😠
Well! That stable volume thingy explains a lot! If not for you, I might never have known. Thanks for mentioning it!
I thought when the engine was "burbling" he'd gone deaf, it was like an RB211, so it's good that he's addressed that's it's a RUclips stable volume problem!?!
Me too, thanks!
Thank you for the stable volume tip. Switched it off immediately you mentioned it.
OMG David, you're my hero. The noise level thing has been driving me nuts and now I know why. Thank you for this very informative video and look forward to all you've planned for this new year.
You make this world a better place!!
So true. There is not enough good humoured civilised comment around and this guy gives it by the bucket load.
12:20 Those sorts of confirmation emails frequently get routed to users' Spam folder, so perhaps add "If you don't get that confirmation email within , go looking in your Spam folder for it"?
For the little it's worth -- I use Gmail -- I got the confirmation email in a fraction of a second.
David how did you get into my cabin in Northern Minnesota 😳 😂. Love the video back ground and I hope your New Year is full of good surprises and many cheese sandwiches.😊
What I noticed, because of my OCD, he didn't sweep the veranda clean of fallen leaves.
Maybe that is part of his new thing... travelling ?
Mid-northern MN here too. (Log cabin with room for guest). 😄
Thanks for explaining things. Im eager to see Twiggy again .
It's a fireside rant David, tell the truth! ;) All the best for 2025, always love to see your videos.
Love watching you work on the old yellow boat , your a real animal tearing the back off I can’t stop laughing.❤
The canal boat chase scene was sublime, thanks for recommending it!
Boating, educational and a cliffhanger! Well done my good man!
Thanks for the notice for the sound
I was thinking maybe I need to have my hearing checked....it was RUclips.....THANK YOU DAVID!!!!!
Loving your log cabin-esqe background.
We are far removed from lock down, as we are now in 2025 but, David I'm still watching! the world is still watching. Where you lead, so shall we follow.
I'm not as generous as some in supporting you. Times they are a coming. So hopefully these kind words and this £5 will warm your heart in the upcoming freeze😍
YAAAAY a David rant. we need these. All the best for 2025!
Happy New Year David! Thanks for the tip about "Stable Volume" - RUclips is always tinkering with stuff. Your videos are always a "must watch", no matter the subject matter. Thanks for such entertaining and informative vids.
Stable volume disabled! Thanks David.
+ Happy New Year!
{Edit: Still get very nostalgic, hearing your end lead-out music on each post, for the pleasure of watching your Cruising the Cut vlogs starting from No.1 sitting with a cup of tea and a biscuit throughout lockdown.]
Thanks for the idea. I have rarely watched since he sold his boat but I think I'll start at the beginning again. Happy New Year .......
Omg David what a great spot for a video chat
chugga chugga chugga tweet tweet tweet - thanks David!
What a Tease u are David, you can tell me. Happy new year.
Happy New Year David ! I'm looking forward. Greetings Erwin
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos....please keep up the good work. Wishing you a wonderful 2025!!
Could listen to you all day. Not only informative but you are quite quirky to boot, which I find quite funny. Happy little chappy aren't you?
I'm a grumpy old man, thank you very much 🤣
I have the subs tab set for my quick link to youtube, so it is my homepage
Very peaceful, relaxing background on today's video.
Looks artificial. Probably AI.
Thank you. I didn't know RUclips did the stable volume thing. I turned it off
Q&A - which are your 3 favourite canals & why?
Happy New Year btw.
I get the monthly newsletter on my email. It's lovely to sit and read with a cup'o'tea, like reading the canal magazine (which sadly I can no longer afford😕
Happy New Year! Look forward to videos of 2025.
Been watching you for few years… You never fail to raise a smile… All the very best for 25 dude. ❤️
Thank you so much! 😀
Thank you, and a very good 2025 to you as well.
Happy & Prosperous 2025 to you & yours.
Happy new year David 🎉 great vlog as usual wow some good content coming our way for 2025 and have to say glad to see the variation coming with lots of chitter chatter along the way....can't wait for the top secret reveal 😂....all signed up for newsletter and completed confirmation on email 👍🏼
Liked for the rant. Perfect. We need more.
I enjoy your videos. You manage to incorporate an excellent mix of humour, information and culture. I find your videos very uplifting and a nice escape from the gloom and doom elsewhere. Have a great year.
I think David is, at long last, going to get that anchor tattoo. The secret is busted 😁👍
That stable volume slipped right past me! Thanks for the tip.
Remember a boat is a hole in the water to pore money into. Enjoy your year
Oh! It's David again. It seems like every time I turn around I see you pop up on my RUclips! LOL Love your videos and vandamonium also. Have a wonderful 25' Cheers from Spokane Washington.
HNY David
Keeping us in suspense, priming the pump as it were 😅
Happy new year David. I have coffee in hand.🎉❤
You were made to cruise the cut 🤞
Thanks David. Happy new year! Great tip about the audio stabilisation. We've had lots of comments on our videos about that recently and we didn't notice an issue when we completed the edit. We will pass on the tip to our subscribers.
Good rant David, I didn't know about the Subscriptions button! I won't miss you eating any cheese sandwiches now.
I didn't know about that setting. It is now off! Thanks for the subscriptions page hint as well and I'm going to check out Wallace and Grommet.
Happy New Year!

Love the rants! Happy New Year from Cape Town. Imagine the number of locks for a canal from sea level to Dullstroom, our highest town in South Africa, sitting at an altitude of 2100 meters above sea level, 1700 kilometers apart.
Thanks for recommending Vengeance Most Fowl! Do you think you might be adding some high-speed chases and explosions to your narrow boat vlogs?
Maybe!
Thanks for the stable volume tip Dave. Love your work.
Yes, thanks for the tip. Appreciated.
Happy new year David, looking forward to videos every 10 days or so 😂 and hoping Twiggy hits the water soon! Mike from Montreal.
It always puzzled me when people said RUclips wasn’t showing a channel’s videos. It makes sense if people aren’t going to the subscribe tab. People, take control of your RUclips experience!! Don’t rely on the RUclips algorithm!

Hope you have a prosperous and Happy New. Thank you for all your vlogs I’ve enjoyed them all ( that I’ve seen so far )😂 So keep them coming.
David, have a very happy New Year, and thank you for the information about the stable volume, the loudness war is all pervading it would appear.
Nice key-side chat. Thank you for posting.

yes seen the film. Brilliant. So many nods to other classic films like the famous bus scene in the Italian job. The scene where the narrow boat teeters back and forth for those who might not know.
Happy New Year David. From a rather warm Western Australia.
Sorted volume thanks 😊 ps looking forward to new videos soon

David. Interesting video as always. Only you can make advertising sound interesting. You are such a pro! Have a great 2025 !
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that we do notice that you make significant efforts with regards the audio. Happy New Year
Thans David and have a great 2025 I will certainly eep following your videos always enoy them. Peter Mac Donald Penang, Malaysia.
Right, that's that, I have the scoop - David has joined the Canal & River Trust.
Thank you for the youtube tips - I thought I had it sussed (I set alerts on most of the channels I'm interested in) but didn't know about the subscriptions tab 🙄 Also I'd missed the stable volume option! I wish companies wouldn't change software (and I'm fairly technical). Anyway - thanks for the chat and I'm looking forwards to your top secret future project! Good luck!
Hmm Learned something new the first day of the new year. Subscriptions instead of home page. And audio leveling. Thanks David.
David the holes in Twiggy are reassuring in heavy rain in dry dock but won't be if they're still there when you're afloat!🥳🥂🍾 Happy New year!
David, Happy New Year. I enjoyed the catchup chat.
I miss your videos where you were just cruising along and chatting. Was kinda like watching bob ross. Wish you still did those kinds of videos.
So many notes made of interesting news I ran out of paper! 😂 It did come with a warning (tea &biscuits ready?) which I should have heeded💙
Re vlog content - "variety is the spice of life" so 2025 will be interesting. TOP SECRET- 🤨🤗 - trip/ purchase or? Will reset my sound/ check subscription and sign up for newsletter ( correctly).

Happy New Year! I've been wondering what was up with YT video sound; Thanks for that bit of info.
Happy New Year David. You’re right, Wallace & Gromit’s narrowboat chase was brilliant. The detail was exceptional. It was the best thing on tv over Christmas.
Your videos are always enjoyed be me on my narrowboat and also help greatly when I'm in a low mood. Great work and happy new year to you!
Hi buddy
Sorry you did not hit the new years honour list - do not cry they missed me too.
Happy New Year Mr David Johns from a John David. I'm an old viewer hut a new subcriber to your newsletter. (Dunno how i missed that). Anyhoo, have another great year and cheers from Australia.
Stable volume is a very important point to mention 🎉🎉🎉
I took your advice with that RUclips volume setting and disabled the Stable but you sounded a Little Horse afterwards! 😉
Thanks for the “stable volume” tip, David! Looking forward to more wonderful content from you. Thanks.
