    Didn't only watch this video but also the previous two. I have no interest in ever using a camper van or canal boat. I just like watching David muse and comment and living these boat/van experiences from the comfort of my sofa. Same goes for everyone who religiously watches a particular CZcamsr/channel. It's not so much the content but the presenter.

    Hello David, yes, I have watched all 3 Q&A episodes and enjoyed every minute of them. Found them to be very interesting. I was surprised latching on to the first Vandamonium, after following Cruising the cut, didn't realise you did land and water. I have a Citroen Berlingo and always carry a single burner stove but never used it. As my wife and I are both 78, we got the vehicle so I can get a mobility scooter for my wife. We were hire boaters since 1982 but sadly not fit enough nowadays to do it on our own. Look forward to your next adventure, whether on on land or water. Good luck and take care. Barrie.

  • @BillMSmith

    Yes, I (happily) survived all three. I should probably scroll the comments and see if there is either a 12 step program (are those a thing in England?) or, preferably, a celebratory party for those of us who have done so. BTW, a merchandise thought. If the gin is good, perhaps the cheese doesn't have to be. Thanks for your entertaining style, I really am enjoying the new video series a great deal.

    I have enjoyed watching and listening to you for about 4 years now. When I found "Cruising the Cut", I started watching while eating my lunch at my desk at work. I signed up for the monthly donation to assist you in continuing making these videos. And when you mentioned your Vandemonium channel, there was no question I was going to watch.
    I find your writing and visual presentations most entertaining, informative and relaxing. Never found any of them boring. I am on 264 of CTC and just finished 54C here. Yes, I have watch all the previous videos on both channels, and all three of your 3 part Mega-Q&A, most enjoyable. So obviously I do not find it boring in the slightest.
    Thanks ever so much.
