    Nateā€™s personality has come out so much more this year than ever before and it seems like you both are genuinely enjoying yourselves. Itā€™s been so enjoyable to watch, since ive been watching yā€™all since 2018. Canā€™t wait for many more years of videos!
  • Canal boating is so fun!! We loved doing it. Just to let you know, it's Wales šŸ“󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳ó æ not whales šŸ³
  • I worked for the Waterways for many years and you guys depicted it so well. It's a whole community and there is always someone willing to help. Well done guys you did great! ā¤
  • @HAUSxo
    i was born, and haved lived here all my life and i always let the views that you guys see in this video go over my head because its so normal to me. this video, however, has made me appreciate how beautiful my country can be šŸ’•. thank you for being my favourite travel people on youtube
  • @DownieLive
    Glad you guys got to experience the narrowboating on the Canals! Itā€™s one of my favourite adventures!
    As always, thanks for the smiles šŸ˜Š
  • I feel like there is an entire community of people in the UK that just hang out by those canals and locks just to help out. Everyone is so polite and helpful.
  • @kb7533
    THIS HAS BEEN MY FAVE EPISODE! The composition of your storytelling in this episode has been so well done, just beautiful!
  • @rangrvr
    Holy cow Nate! You've grown so much in your freedom to be yourself on camera! Kara is always dang adorable, but you were so funny. All episode was just a lot of fun and both of your happiness really shined! Sending so much love and safe travels to you from Columbia Falls Montana! You came to Whitefish for skiing!ā¤
  • @ssjess2504
    What can be better at the start of a 3 day weekend than with a new Kara and Nate video? I just love how you shout out Eamon & Bec and Habit and also Craig & Aimee ā¤
  • @luvsqkenz
    As a Welsh person this made my day ā€œWHALESā€ I understand that you donā€™t know what it is but itā€™s spelt like WALES
  • @kriscox4019
    As a Canadian with an English husband, I remember first seeing and learning about the canals. Especially seeing the locks work for the first time. Now when we visit family, I love running on the canal paths, seeing all the green on the sides and boats in the canals. ā¤
  • Who raise your hand if youā€™re loving all the canal videos this week- great minds must think alike, since several of my favorite YouTubers are doing canal videos this year. Loving seeing it all, and how even though everyone may go to the same places, they all capture different things in their videos. Cool to see. šŸ‘ā¤ļø
  • Yalls personalitys gets me through these weird days im having rn. The little comments like "you did great, you only hit the wall 10 times!" make me laugh so hard. AND THE "KATE AND NARA". Yall also give me the confidence to ask for help. Thank you.
  • @daveawb
    As a Brit that loves cask ales and spends a lot of time on the canals, I went through a range of emotions watching this video. Firstly, Wales is not a Whale... šŸ¤£ I was happy, that you chose to take a narrow boat out. I loved that you enjoyed the great British countryside. I was horrified that you compared a cask ale to a flat, room-temperature American beer though the beer you chose looked super light, you want to try some darker ales. Most of all, I'm so happy to see my homeland at its best in one of your videos ā¤
  • @fruity1114
    Im actually a Brit from Ellesmere! an amazing place. Iā€™ve been watching you guys for years now and Didn't think you guys would come to such a small town! Itā€™s really surprising and lucky to be one of those places that tourists donā€™t visit much. Safe travels!
  • I loved this episode! It feels more like the Travel Videos you guys put out pre-pademic where you weren't always staying at the best locations and going to more interesting places. Keep it up!!!
  • @allywell5579
    Massive grin on my face watching you go through my countryā€™s lovely countryside. You rarely see youtubers go there, but this really shows how beautiful it is. And narrowboating is an institution! Iā€™ve always wanted to do it, and you have reminded me why. Also watching you guys explain cask ales and canals makes me realise what it must be like for anyone watching your vids from that particular country, itā€™s great seeing you experience it all for the first time!
  • Nate seemed especially goofy in this trip and I can see how much Kara adores that side of him.

    Kara, I love your ability to take uncomfortable moments in life and realize that you CAN do it! It inspires me. šŸ’•šŸ’•

    What a fun video! šŸ„° You guys have seemed to enjoy the last few months so much! Keep the memories going for you and us šŸ˜‚šŸ„¹
  • I'm from Yorkshire, but studying in Eryri (Snowdonia), and their beauty STILL blows me away. English/Welsh countryside is so beautiful!
  • @stowgood
    *Wales like the place not the massive sea creature. So cool you came to the UK!
