FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future!

13:50 Tut tut! Where are Pascale's safety glasses? We know she'd still look good with an eye patch but we all love her the way she is. Baggy sweater sleeves too. I'm gonna cry.

[@joebrown1382]

Nice table work mate. That little book holder is cool. So many places to make dead space useful. She is looking so clean & beautiful inside.

[@matthewpocock4824]

Good ideas. Space is a premium on a boat of any size.

[@timothyperrigoue3997]

It's almost like you two knew what you are doing! Seriously though, encasing wood in epoxy is Precisely what is necessary these days. Just what the old timers WOULD have done if they Could of done. The best thing about all these videos is that neither of you are aware of how charming you both are individually and together!

[@scottswineford6714]

My newest favorite method of reinforcement of mitre joints is bamboo skewers. Don't need a table saw or even a power drill, an 1/8" bit and an eggbeater drill. Really don't even need glue.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Boom. Mind blown!

[@johncampbell388]

Wonderful. Very glad to see you focus on safely using power tools. As an aging wood worker I think you should consider protecting your hearing as well. You're young enough to where it can still make a difference.

[@matt_kildea]

Ok this is video number 29 of my "I want to buy a Free Range Sailing hoody" campaign Cheers Matt

[@devensutcliffe]

Never thought I’d say this to someone, but I love your mast!!

[@jeffmaul7999]

That wood looks stunning - good project

[@bondvagabond42]

Great work guys! You can put a little finger swipe of wax in those sliding door tracks and it will be easy to slide them still, but it will have that fancy snug nuclear reactor chamber door feel.

[@marklchapman2785]

I’m trying to watch this but I’m having a senior moment so I think I’ll give it a break but brilliant video. Thanks😂

[@jamesblackburn934]

Love the table storage idea. Keep up the Great work.

[@TOPPGUNGAMING]

Nice little addition to a beautiful boat remodel looks great. Good job you two. 😉🙂👍

[@philgray1023]

I'm pleased to see this. I have exactly the same job to do to expand our locker space and need to fit a door into it.

[@JS-wl3gi]

Amazing your doing all the work yourself. Your restoring an older boat, that you already have.

[@rebelarcher5450]

the boat is looking awesome , i have just noticed your creeping up on 100,000 subscribers so you have to be mindful of saving a bit of wall space for your 100,000 tube play button .

[@rickfazzini22]

Looks like you got yourself a nice tight box there ;) Troy's words not mine.. Great episode as always, ya all are the best.

[@davesmith6719]

Nice work on all the projects! I cringed a big when Pascal was using the chop saw without any safety glasses...YIKES.

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya this is really a big big big big refit love to see it all thanks for chearing

[@k4gap]

From an old man in the hills of Kentucky: Thanks for allowing me to get away for a few minutes. I've been watching you guys from the beginning. Safe travels.

[@ar15gator]

Another great video showing your talents, Nice Job!

[@Skipperskraa]

Great work, and a fantastic workshop. Fair winds

[@xoxoh0tgrl]

You guys are the best!

[@jeffslaven]

Wow! The interior is really coming together! I imagine that long passages are going to be so much more comfortable both ergonomically as well as feel good factor!

[@craiggrocott7559]

Workshop envy!

[@townsville69]

Hee hee you said "nice tight box" with a straight face. Legend.

[@DJWILLM1]

Fantastic job as always

[@chrismalkin4070]

Terrific video. Thanks guys. Chris

[@sailingalearningcurve]

Beautiful work guys!

[@timtaylor2014]

That came out really nice.

[@grahamBearman1]

Oh boy, do you Guys get me in the dung bucket!!! "what's half of 745 Pascale?" so there's me telling you the answer....out loud! and Mrs B. looks at me like I was out of my tree!!!

[@donnakawana]

You both are amazing inspirational to me thanks luv!

[@markjvairy]

Another great project 👌

[@iakkatz128]

Just a bit of coincidence. My main YT watching is woodworking with a few and a mean a few side shoots. I don't remember how I started to watch you guys (2 years ago now) but I'm amused to find my self back at watching woodworking.

[@LiamKinnear]

You two are nailing Mirrool’s refit! sweet perfection in all you’ve done thus far. I’m so wrapped to see your logbook in its home. It was an absolute pleasure to make it for you. Thank you for another ripper episode! Fair winds legends! 🤘

[@coggers410]

Rapidly becoming my favourite DIY and woodworking channel!

[@dondevine5129]

Nice work....thanks for the video

[@joecucch8261]

What a pleasure it has been learning about boat life and the seaways all around the Australian Continent with the two of you showing the way. Thanks from sunny Florida.

[@dbentley2195]

That hiding box in the table turned out awesome. I like the way you read comments but do it to suit you guys. Love your channel.❤👍

[@lydiaajohnson]

The boat is looking great. It would he cool if the underside of the table lid was a used as a cutting board. It’s the perfect size, and would stow away as the table lid. Double duty! Although, it would have to be sanded down to the near wood and oiled, I presume.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

You have both done a really great and tasteful reno. on Mirrool and CLEARLY she has not looked, and I would believe never functioned, better! 🙂👏

[@DesertDogJournal]

Love your project videos

[@clayfarnet970]

Almost 100k subscribers. COME ON PEOLPE LETS DO IT.

[@GOTMV]

Glad to see you kept some of the furnidents.

[@johnthompson6656]

You could square up the cutout then border it to fill the gap then trim lid to fit.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

Awesome use of space. I think a flush stainless pull-ring plate like is used above a fridge lid would have been a good idea for the table lid over the box. Lots of crumbs and dust wil likely end up dropping through that finger hole down into the plates and bowls I fear. Opening up the lid only to find a tiny cone of detritus on you dishes doesn't sound like the most appetizing way to begin a meal as one is setting the table.

[@Eastie_]

You're a crafty bugger Troy - Exceptional work. Well done.

[@zeros7067]

I think the jury will be out for a long time on the saloon table storage idea. Visually it will always stand out and look out of place. Great refit thanks for the updates.

[@thelostbushmanlg1765]

Enjoying the refit videos, but honestly can’t wait tell you out at sea again! Beautiful workmanship as usual!

[@RoyClare]

My woodwork teacher examined my four-legged table (of which I was terribly proud) and solemnly advised that I stick to making three-legged ones, which don’t wobble. By that measure, you guys could make ten-legged ones. Respect. 🤣💯👍🏼

[@garyfroeschner2523]

nice work

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Routers weren't even invented when I was last doing woodwork . I want to try one of them, how good are they :) Makita tools are soo good . And again , epoxy wasn't around , but I love the way you guys repurpose old shit and make it good as new . Great job from both of you , and you look really relaxed and happy , which, trust me , ain't always the case when a couple are doing a project :)

[@DAMusicalHQ]

Another cracking video as always. Looking so slick! What a beauty of a saloon/galley. Your guys rock.

[@alvessail4718]

Your yacht looks awesome and classy . Good job👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@christiaanstrijdhorst7068]

God, I hope you guys come the Europe with Merool one day. ;-)

[@passinthru4328]

I noticed quite a few metal brackets and fasteners being used. I hope they are stainless steel or some kind of copper alloy, or they will rust in the marine environment.

[@disk0553]

Agreed. - If the sea is inside your boat, you've got bigger problems than whether PVA is going to hold-up!

[@CharleyGeorge]

Great idea for the "Extra Space" in the table. Have you thought about placing dowels into the bottom of the "drawer so the plates, bowls, and cups don't bang into each other. You could make a few hole to pop in the dowels to give you flexibility in what goes in there. So also on the dowels you can place rubber on the outside and boom no more rattling stuff.

[@jginmt]

I am totally impressed with how well thought out and executed to fit your needs.

[@wildtimbrown]

"Quite dimensionally stable" My new band name? ;-)

[@shieldaigbencher]

Great job, I can’t wait to see Mirool and you guys back on the water...

[@jimdixon9725]

Hi Todd and Pascale I thoroughly enjoy your series, particularly as I have a Petersen 30 of about the same vintage as your Clansman. It was a bit of a wreck so your refit work resonates. I recently replaced the (cursed) steel running back stays with dynema, tee balls, backing plates etc. Did the job myself. We will see if it all falls down but so far so good. Could you please direct me to the Q&A you did with rigger Pete. Many thanks. Jim from Fremantle.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

[@colin34164]

Can I suggest that you put rubber on the aluminium strips so in high seas the plates don’t chip on the strips

[@marklamontagne3919]

The Tassie Oak is beautiful. Has a really nice grain structure.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Just a most wonderful work on the refit. Can't wait for a full tour when all completed. Troy and Pascale, you have definitely shown and shared some skills I was not aware of with you two. Totally love it !! Thanks, legends !! 🙂 👍👋 ✌🏻

[@portfoliofotoz]

So relieved to see you disconnect the router before changing the bit.

[@oletorbergsen6086]

I really love the upgrade you have made on your little ship! You are inspirational in your approach and in the way you work together as a couple :-)

[@deeparks3112]

Mirrool is going to have the Big Head when you two are finished. None of the other boats will quite be good enough for Mirrool... My compliments on a fine refit and upgrade!

[@MC-re2ry]

Fit and finish. Oh yeah.

[@bryanbadger6841]

It's all looking pretty good guys. Love your channel. Take care and stay safe.

[@bobswezey7452]

Good evening you two just loving your remodeling of your ship, enjoying the videos ...

[@AndreasEUR]

Haha, I was like "Spring? Wth, it's soon winter.." then I remember you're on the other side :D

[@FreeRangeLiving]

And upside down :P

[@alanrobinson5109]

You’re both very talented and make all your refurb’ projects so interesting to watch. All the best from the UK.

[@bryonensminger7462]

Looks good but I would have sanded the whole top and stained it so it was all the same color then put on a couple layers of jell coat

[@grahammewburn]

What a Bonza job! Thinking about the box outside the box. Well done. Cheers Gray Brisbane

[@rayscott9368]

Looking great guys! Enjoy the content! Keep living the dream! From North Carolina in the USA!

[@mikhailmikhaylenko9148]

Hi! Nice work! :) And you're nice team! Always glad to see your videos! Thank you! :) Go a head with more such videos! :) You are inspirating us! :)

[@robertcarlini6198]

“If you’ve got the sea around it, you’ve got a bigger issue” hysterical!! Still laughing

[@SuperDave21]

If I buy a boat will you come to the USA and refinish it? lol..... Your work is impeccable!

[@michaeltietzyou]

I would say, a very successful couple . . . nice to follow you - good job!

[@superformOG]

I used to live in Cairns, I need more friends like this :(

[@uthumanhameed]

Awesome Work! Mirool is getting ready to RockNRoll!!!

[@stony7827]

thanks for sharing all your DIY-Work. really a great job that you two are doing(!) best regards

[@R.E.HILL_]

Nice.. And as an added bonus that storage will catch all liquid spillage that will occur during day to day usage... especially with that dual purpose drainage hole...🙂

[@frednedgold4636]

rrrr trade offs

[@velvetjones]

Another great video. At the end of each I find myself sad that it's over and excited for another next week.

[@CookieMonster_1969]

As always, excellent video of incredible craftsmanship. You are absolutely correct about the usefulness of a router. And likewise, as you also pointed out, they do require a great deal of respect, they can be very unforgiving...

[@markgoode4109]

It's all looking great guys. Looking forward to the next instalment. Best wishes.

[@FriendM2010]

Love the creativity ... I will be trying the tape build a mitered box process thing in the future 👍. Your friend Lance has a dream shop 👍. A house is just a house until you make it a home, nice touches ... I think your adding a bit of Aussie Feng Shui to that vessel too 🥳. I bump into or trip on something in my house daily 🥴

[@GreggOwens25]

Another great video legends! You touched on it lightly in the video, regarding navigating with paper charts etc. It would be cool to see how you guys plan out a passage (day sail or overnighter). Mainly to see what apps, software and hardware you use. What you take into account (wind direction/strength and effects of tide). Keep up the awesome work - cheers :)

[@Hindukushsailing]

I always enjoy watching. Would you be able to make a video showing your hard dodger up close. It would be interesting to see how you put it together and maybe take away some ideas. Cheers. Have a good weekend.

[@johnphillips519]

Our dining table is made of Tassie oak, Its beautiful wood

[@tomharrell1954]

Your hard work is beautiful! I would be proud to own the boat It is looking great! I know you will enjoy her

[@junemartin1475]

Great job! Your woodworking skills are amazing.

[@duncan.5228]

Could we see a bit more of PASCAL please. Enjoying the refit, but give Pascal a bit more airtime please.

[@gonesailing1946]

They explained last episode that refit means only one of them had time for filming. I guess Pascal isn't the woodworker and the sooner it's done the sooner they can both do filming.

[@duncan.5228]

@@gonesailing1946 Troy does overexplain, which takes up far more time, meaning they could fit more in to the video.

[@gonesailing1946]

@@duncan.5228 I don't agree and I'm not alone judging by the other comments. Some of us like the backstory. Also, from watching the live chats, I'm pretty sure, it is Pascal editing so you should direct your comments to her.

[@Garryck-1]

@@duncan.5228 - No.. it's just that Troy is a natural born teacher. He goes into extra detail for the benefit of those to whom the information is new. And as we've consistently seen in this channel's comments over the years, there are plenty of those, and they appreciate the detail very much. If the "overexplaining" bothers you, why not treat it as an opportunity to learn more patience?

[@grenier70]

Great video as always. Cheers 👍👋🇨🇦

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

Mirool is looking absolutely fantastic now, what an awesome job you two have done on her. You've got me looking around Moonshadow wondering what improvements I can make :-)

[@captngrinell]

The boat's looking great/ well done .

[@bryonensminger7462]

That table lid would be a great place to build a chess board or checker board top I lay next time your feeling creative you could do the chess and checker board on one side and flip it over and have your backgammon board

[@martinengelbrecht5384]

Lovely, so glad you guys are doing well. Great vlog!
