Anarchism and life on a canal boat

sorry, Mick not Vic. also, not realised the post was so long ago. all the best Mick

top notch. Vic, don't get rid of the batteries - get an extra panel if you can, instead. I'll wire it in for you if you've not got anyone local. I'll just need a bit of notice. Better to have more electric stored in case you need it, or if, for example, you want to listen to music a fair bit...

@TruthAxe,..
My guess it's not so much jealousy as it is resentment for the abuse of power/planning regulations by the wealthy land/home owners and developers.
 For example, go buy a small, reasonably affordable bit of agricultural land,.. ..then try to stick a small home on it,.. in a true free market this wouldn't be a problem,.. in reality your going to have the council serving you a notice, probably because some rich neighbors in their second holiday home think they own the view and decided to whinge about you.
You also, have developers hogging regional planning quotas(which wouldn't exist in a free/anarchist market),.. which means developers and existing wealthy home owners can monopolise the housing market and charge through the nose as a result.

Life goals. This guy radiates genuine happiness. He looks 48 at 70. Amazing!

What a Great man

sweet and humble soul.......great attitude

good one mick like the video

Good on you Mick! :)

I have watched this vid many times over the past few years.....it gives me hope.
I have lived on a narrowboat for almost 8yrs......i only hope i can be as sound and level headed as this old chap in years to come

Agreed a nice gentleman

What a fine fellow !!

A super video that keeps you watching and wanting to know more. Good for tv. More please...

Really inspirational. I'm 27 and I'm leaving the rat race soon for a more pieceful life on a canal boat. Can't wait

Sorry to hear that Mick is no longer on his boat. Good luck and I really enjoyed listening to you talking about you, your dog and your boat life big hug from Scotland :)

What a great Inspiration this Comrade is ! may you be strong and healthy or at least regain it as long as possible. We are not enough in this world mate, that's why every single one of us is so important to show, that Anarchy is life in dignity, mutual Respect and mutual support to fulfill each others needs. It's good to know about other people around the world, like Mick, who are breathing in the same Spirit of freedom. I Wish you the very best !

Good luck to you Mick. leaving the rat race. can see many more of us doing the same in the next few years.

This is me in a few years time...I don't want 2.4 children ...mortgage...stress .. bullshit... just some peace ..and space , a dog and my guitar, on a boat!

I'll have my boat by next year, it's been a long time coming but it'll be worth it. Mick is definitely an inspiration, top bloke.

For info of those who have posted comments, Mick is still with us, but no longer living on the boat, which he had to give it up for health reasons.
