Cozy Off-Grid Narrowboat Life | Slow Living on the Shroppie (Shropshire Union Canal)

Living off-grid on our narrowboat means cozy nights, crackling fires, and a fair bit of rain 🌧️ — but it’s all part of slow living on the UK canals. In this vlog, we show what real off-grid life looks like aboard our floating home on the Shroppie (Shropshire Union Canal). In this episode: • Cozy off-grid living on a narrowboat in autumn • The 5 essentials for off-grid life: water, food, heat, power & waste • Beating the infamous Shroppie Shelf and mooring in the wild • How we stay warm, dry and self-sufficient while cruising • Why slow canal life is the perfect antidote to modern chaos If you love off-grid living, tiny homes, canal boats, or the digital nomad lifestyle, this vlog is for you. We’re Rick and Adam — The Floating Nomads. We ditched the 9-5, sold everything, and now live full-time on our narrowboat Serenissima while working remotely and slow travelling across Europe and beyond. 👉 Subscribe for new videos every Friday: @thefloatingnomads and join us — on board and abroad.
