There are certainly days where we feel, and recognise that we are incredibly lucky to be able to live in such a sustainable way, especially with the great global economic picture looking so terrifying. Covid first shone a light on how vulnerable we were, as in when supply chains started grinding to a halt we realised that our food supply could just end and there’s little we could have done in that moment to continue to feed ourselves. Now the war in Ukraine is further destabilising global food supplies, inflation is destroying our money’s ability to purchase the amount of food that we’re used to, so with all of these things combined we felt an urgent motivation to be able to fend for ourselves and this is the start of that process. We still have many holes in our systems that need filling, but with each passing year we get a little bit more capable and a little less reliant on the whims of governments around the world. We also get vegans chiming in to tell us we’re terrible people all the time for daring to harvest our own food, but I’m not sure I’d want to put all my faith in ‘beyond burger’ having enough supply forever, it just feels far too vulnerable for us now. Hope you’re enjoying the journey unfold, Dave 🤞🏼⛵️😊

Learning to fend for ourselves in terms of food harvesting feels like the right thing to do. After the last couple of years we really don’t have the same levels of confidence in food supply chains, fiat money or the governments ability to take care of all our needs and so we’re getting rid of some of that anxiety by taking matters into our own hands, and it’s so amazingly rewarding and liberating to do so too. 🙏🏼☺️

You have a dog that doesn't like the rain! I used to sail with my labrador, sadly passed on now, he could not get wet enough. If we were anchored near shore there would regularly be a shout of " Dog Overboard" as he struck out for the nearest tree. Gulls and ducks swimming past were a temptation just too far. Fortunately he did not have this problem in open water.

We have been following you since your first episode and really like you style and content. One thing we do find frustrating with you and many other KZread is the frequent claims to be “off grid”. There is no way any one with mobile phones, 4G/5G Internet, buying food and drink from shops, using consumer electronics/cameras/solar panels (mass produced and transported from China), drinking water either from marinas or from a mass-produced reverse osmosis device, diesel or even electric propulsion neither of which is without an impact on the environment, gas for cooking (a larger refillable bottle would be better and cheaper?) should claim to be “off grid” Clearly you are doing your best to reduce your environmental impact and by all means mention your efforts in this respect but please don’t jump on the band-wagon of claiming to be “off grid” you are better than that and such claims just devalue your other efforts.

'We're better than that'? That's an interesting thing to say. Well you seem to feel quite passionately about the subject so let's explore your logic and allow me to share my thoughts, because I wouldn't want you to think I've arrived at a place without giving it a deep level of thought. People seem to have varying definitions of what 'off-grid' means then? By your definition of the term, only a cave man who hunts with his bare hands is truly 'off-grid'? Your argument could be ripped apart by semantics if we follow your logic. Where did you get your tools from? your clothes? your toothbrush, you see how this goes? For us it's the ability to be unplugged from the mains power system for long periods of time, whilst producing our own water, energy and harvesting our own food. If we can live comfortably for many years without having to go and plug in and buy more supplies, then for us, for all intents and purposes, that is what I class as 'off-grid' (certainly for extended periods), which is what we're working towards. Basically can we build out systems that meant that we could comfortably live through, say, a Great Depression and life feel no different? Or if WW3 broke out could we take our floating home somewhere remote and exist in a similar level of comfort for several years? If another pandemic breaks out and the most frightened people in society lose their minds again and insist we wear 6 masks and take 100 vaccine shots, or else we'll be ostracised from society, can we build that level of 'off-grid' systems, so that we remove tyrannical governments leverage to some degree, so that we can be more free to determine the course of our own lives? That's the goal, to basically be as 'off-grid' as it's possible to be whilst living on a boat, that's what we're developing our skills for as well as the boats systems.

@pauls9830

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the well considered reply, I agree with what you are saying and based on your explanation I agree with you. I think the off grid is very over used and far too many people are claiming it. As I probably badly tried to explain I thing what you are doing is great and much more sustainable than most, I still think the wording off grid is the wrong name for what you are doing "follow the boat" did a well thought video of off grid and I agree with them. You cannot be truly off grid if someone can pick up the phone and speak to you.

Ha ha, I have plenty of veggie and vegan friends, I'm sure most are great people, it's the extremes in any group, the small vocal minority who 'need to be heard' I guess. I like to think a fair amount of thought goes into how we can have less impact on the world whilst also living a comfortable life that we enjoy, which food is a huge part off too 😬😋 I think I may start putting all of the lobsters and crabs that I let go due to size, V-notch or because they're carrying eggs in the videos to help give more balance, but I also try and make the videos punchy and full of action too so I don't want them to end up too long, yet as the channel grows it's probably a good idea to set the scene that we don't just go in and take everything we can, simply what we need, everything else gets to fight another day. 🙏🏼

@@CadohaAdventures Perhaps a short video that talks about that aspect (sustainable life etc) rather than adding to each video? And yes, the 'shouty brigade' of any position do tend to love their own voices...as they say, we have one mouth and two ears for a reason... Keep having fun and we look forward to your next adventure. 💪

I like your videos but I can't stand that you are complicit in the sexualising of sailing women. I like watching Leo and Mads because they don't stoop to putting women in bikinis to get clicks. I used to like watching your videos, but your constant use of bikini shots in your thumbnail makes me feel like we have gone back to the 60s.

Philip, we always appreciate the feedback so thank you for taking the time, but I do wonder if you can see the irony in (I’m assuming you are?) a man, telling a woman how she should dress, in the name of ‘progress’? It was exactly the same last year too, Carly wore swimwear in many videos and thumbnails, you know what these two chapters also had in common? It was summer time 👌🏼 But I shall pass the message on to CAPTAIN Carly for you, that you, a man in 2022, thinks it’s wrong for her to be wearing a bikini. For context, 4 out of the last 34 videos Carly has been wearing swimwear in the thumbnail. Four! Do you have any idea how you sound? You’re making a woman who designs the thumbnails herself, who wears what she wants to wear because she has agency over her own life, you’re making her feel ashamed of herself by using words like ‘stoop’ in the context of her wardrobe choices? There’s only one person here who is coming off as misogynistic and I think you need to reflect on why you think you have the right to tell any woman how to dress?

@@CadohaAdventures Yes it does seem ironic. Personally I don't want to be part of the crowd if the KZread algorithm makes you guys go down the road of so many other KZread channels where it seems as though many of the gains of the last few decades are being traded away for older men like me to enjoy some eye candy. I find it easier to watch channels like Matt and Amy's where I can just watch Amy be a fabulous sailor in her own right. I was probably too ferocious in my initial comment, but I am conflicted and so I will watch other channels. Go well.

Thank you.... another really enjoyable video...... Btw - when I used to live by the sea, we used a shallow hooked rod to grab the lobsters from their small undersea burrows.. It usually caught them by the legs/claw, and usually worked very well.... 🦞🦞🦞🦞😉

Ah cool, always nice to hear other peoples methods of catching the elusive lobster and perhaps learn something else to help us in the future 🙏🏼🦞
