We laughed when we watched the “Doomsday Preppers” series about survivalists preparing for natural disasters and economic collapse. Then came the Covid 19 / Coronavirus pandemic and suddenly those prepper families didn’t seem so crazy, and we wondered what WE would do if there was to be a second lockdown and we find ourselves stuck at sea or at anchor with no access to land.
In this video we describe how we use solar energy and and inverter to provide power to cook and keep our fridge and freezer going. We take you on one of our big shopping trips and show how we pack it all into our boat. We even try our hand at fishing.. with little success :/
While hanging out with Maddie and Herbie from Rigging Doctor, we practise some art / craft / haircutting skills and Herbie even teaches us how to make yoghurt at sea. Check out their YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/riggingdoctor
Woody got a bit carried away with the whole thing and even a graded our Practical Prepping! :/

The program profiled various survivalists or “preppers”, who were preparing to survive the end of civilization, economic collapse, societal collapse and various other forms of doomsday scenarios.

Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing
We're a UK family who have saved over many years to live the dream of travelling the world with our kids. We sold our belongings, closed our business and rented our house to buy a 20 year old sailboat . We want to show the kids that there is a bigger world out there and to appreciate the simple things in life, things that you find in the sea, the woods, up mountains, along the beach , the sky and the stars. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of a live-aboard life! From buying a boat to homeschooling the kids, from cooking on a budget to making money while we travel, from sailboat maintenance to visiting amazing places - join our journey and share in our world adventure, as well as the challenges of family life, through our series of video blogs.
