- JUNK GIFTS: I was asked to come in and talk on breaky TV about Backyard Adventuring. I said sure, but why don’t I have a Backyard Adventure instead? I’ll run around Sydney with my wheelbarrow and collect up junk wood, make stuff, and present it to the TV presenters on air the following morning, 24 hours later. So that’s what I did.

Beau!
Early that morning i was on my way to hospital with my wife, she was ready to pop and about to give birth, I was sitting in the car ponding on life and all the things ahead and I notice a guy running up King Street with a wheelbarrow. I had only recently watched all your films and I thought, that has to be Beau! Sure enough it was, thats me yelling from the car at the 14 minute mark, on my way to hospital with my wife about to give birth.
Later that day i was sitting in the labor ward with my wife who was holding my lovely daughter and I looked at her and said, " I just cant believe I saw Beau today!!"
Love your stuff mate.
This made me chuckle 😂
What a great story to tell her one day! Congratulations!
this will be a story for sure ^^^
This needs to become the top comment to this video. He compliments Beau and follows up!
Great story! And congratulations to you and your wife!
Being recognized on the street while covered from head to toe, what a legend
I mean, who else runs around with a wheel barrow :D
Just about everyone who lives in Victoria knows of Beau lol
Wonder what gave him away!
!
Literally a Legend. A teacher , husband , father , friend , roll model and a youtuber. He offers so much wisdom through example , and the creative way in which he lives his life is definetly worthy of the title Legend!
I'm sure there are a number of people who have actually come here to Beau's channel from the actual interview, and to all of you I'd just like to say that it's really worth sticking around to watch what else this man has done. You won't regret it.
I second that!
I have to third that
Yep, true dat!
Yes, this!
I agree! This man is one of the best creators on this platform and that is no exaggeration! beaus outlook on life is one I think we all should share, at least even just a little bit :)
G'day folks, CZcams's taking a bloody long time to process the HD version of this video. We'll sit tight for a bit in the hope that it switches from 360p to HD soon... UPDATE: Looks like it's sorted itself out. Goodonyas!
Hey, I feel you. Happens to me all the time. What I do now are scheduled uploads so CZcams has at least 10h to process the video. I wish you luck!
Good on you Beau, I'll do just that. This one looks like a ripper. Was awesome to meet you a few weeks back in Christchurch ;-)
Better for the environment to watch in 360p anyway ;)
@@pickuptrash Great channel!!!
Watched 8 seconds before i tried to manually change and got chooked. "Only 360p?!"
That guy Instantly knew it was beau even from the back because who else would be running a wheel barrow with a chair in it through the streets of Sydney😂
I'm still not sure what Beau does for a living, but he sure is living the life.
He’s a college professor
University Lecturer at one of the big Melbourne/Vic Universities.
He has a PhD in Adventure Education; he used to lecture at Monash but apparently quit in 2021, I think he mentions being unemployed in the Junk Wine video.
The “Goodonya Beau, Love ya mate” made me tear up. I feel the same way about Beau. 😢
“Look at all those spring times” that’s a great line right there.
Beau I love it. Your channel coveys the message of not only resroucefullness but just apprecating life and nature.
Yeah, that's the ticket LC. Goodonya
This ❤
this person is such a gift to the world, at least my world
He's a little treasure!
Love the content Beau! Your positive outlook on the world to reuse and create is very inspiring, a real love story from trash to treasure!
Omg its Squid. No fucking way
To think I would see squid here, I grew up watching your videos I love that you're still on youtube
A surprise, but a welcome one to be sure.
@@Alex-bu7nn Same here... it's been a minute, love it
Used to watch you growing up, thank you for all the entertainment back when I was a child. Its funny seeing you here out of all the places on youtube
Im a 36 year old American male and Beau makes me giggle like a little girl every time I see his videos. Since discovering him for myself a few weeks ago I've gotten my hands on some good second hand tools and just began experimenting... and starting with making some of the things I own better. I can't wait to make more space for my own workshop!
Nice! Good luck on your future projects 👍
What I love about this channel is you can never tell what's coming next. Great video Beau!
Probably a video tho
totally agreed, something loosely around "backyard adventure" and maybe "environmentalism" but it really is just a grab bag of awesomeness.
Beau, you are such an inspiring soul. Im an 18 y/old bloke, currently in a gap year, not knowing what to do or choose, kinda lost and just trying a bunch of new and old stuff. But every time i watch any of your videos, be it woodworking, camping, or running, my inspiration and hope get revitalised and i start thinking about the many many MANY things i can do in all this free time that can be fun and healthy for me and the planet, and most importantly can help me grow as a person... I started going our more and even started some running because of you! Thank you for everything mate and good luck on all the future endeavours!
Good on you mate.
If you are having trouble working out your path in life there's a series written by a bloke called Robert Kiyosaki. Start with Rich Dad Poor Dad & progress through his series. Whatever you do, plan on NOT being an employee.
Best of luck mate.
If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward. Oscar Wilde
Beau you have literally convinced me to attempt a paddle project! I have no use for a paddle….what am I thinking? Reluctantly excited!
hey i am 23 and i had that same vigor for life when i was your age. one thing i will say is it takes dedication to commit yourself to hard things and you can only build that through self affirmation and reaffirming yourself that you are a human being, one of billions previously, who is capable of anything. then make a plan, stay discplined and reap benefts
Hi Beau, I'm from Romania and I really enjoy watching your videos. Your positive attitude and the amazing skills of your editor are really making my day!
Shoutout to Mitch D. 👌🏻
Because of these videos (the original wombled wood paddle video) I now collect wood from around Amsterdam and make stuff in my free time. The first thing I made was a bench from palettes and and old plank. It sits proudly outside of my house.
Haha I'm also collecting wood in Amsterdam and made a coat hanger! Maybe we can start a wheelbarrow running club 😜
@@forkranger this is amazing. I'd definitely be up for that.
Beautiful!
Finished the last 20 minutes of my run carrying home a 12ft long elm branch this evening. Goodonya Beau! inspirational work your doing!
Aww man, I work in a bakery super close to that studio. Can't believe how close I was to this legend
It’s always great so see junk get another life. I’ve found a lot of stuff during cleanups that was still useable. Good job!
there's nothing better in life than enjoying what you've made and staring into space wondering what you can make next. Makes my lungs expand.
This just shows that everything that has been thrown out can be re used and given a second chance in life! Rock on Beau!
Love the credits :D
Kiwi Security Guards at the opera house:
"Hey, are you that sick river guy?" "Yes I am." "Cool bruh"
Fantastic!
That was gold when you rated the chair. A bloody national treasure
''Wood or no wood, this is a good morning.'' I tell myself that every day :D .... man I love this guy! One more amazing video Beau, cheers!
That second wood haul is such gold!!!!! Beautiful blue chair
Beau, can I just say, as a high school student, you make me excited for my future. Every single one of your videos I have watched and absolutely loved. Whenever I'm going through a rough time I always end up at your channel- I guess it sits as a reminder for me of all the good that can come out of little and how we can always treat our world and environment with a little more kindness. You are just incredible, thank you.
❤As someone in their 50s, your comment makes me feel pretty good about the future : ) Enjoy the ride rox!
We need to protect Beau at all costs! ❤
Beau needs to be continuously re-released into the wild.
Who else is going to eat the apple cores left in the round-a-bout?
@@Phil_Cleaver Robert Greenfield
From those bollards!
Your videos are amazing Beau! Im a fellow environmentalist from Charleston, South Carolina. I love cleaning up any trash while kayaking in the many rivers and creeks that we have here. Your content is so creative and shares a positive message with each video. Keep doing what you are doing brother
Beau inspired me to get up early and run in the mornings, it's a very simple thing but as a dad this has change my life and given me so much more energy, thanks Beau
Great stuff as always. I recently purchased a house and I’m a carpenter so I’ve been filling the garden with leftover wood from jobs. I’m driving the wife mental but when I make stuff from beautiful old reclaimed wood she is happy out. It’s extremely satisfying and something I’ve craved to do for a long time. Cheers from an Irish lad on the Sunshine Coast BC Canada.
You must have access to some excellent wood in that part of the world. British Columbia has always looked beautiful to me, like paradise. Ireland always looks stunning too. You'll have to come visit us Aussies one day - being Irish and Canadian means you'll get double the love here.
Beau, you're an inspiration bud. I watch you from the U.S. (Virginia). And while I can't make much out of scrap wood (yet), I pick up trash when I run nowadays. It's amazing how much litter I find alongside the lakes, streams, and creeks where I live. To the naked eye, the area is clean. But once you start paying attention more, you see all the styrofoam packing peanuts, vape cartridges, discount papers, beer bottles and cans, etc. that are just waiting for a nice wind to drop 'em off into the water or the woods. Take care.
The world is your sandbox. I love your attitude to just doing things
Beau Miles is a story teller that I can relate to. These tails bring immense joy.
I love these videos. I’ve become quite a scavenger for discarded wood to my wife’s dismay after the first junk paddle video. Keep it up!
Just came across this channel a few days ago, what a guy! This is awesome Beau, love the videos! 20+ kms with a wheelbarrow lol. What a champ.
Genuinely makes my day whenever you upload, it's beyond impressive how much humanity and beauty you can impart in simple things. You paint a picture and a journey that would make steinbeck smile.
You are one of the reasons why I pick up pallets from the street, having no clue if I'll ever do something with them.
I love the way you love life and the small details that most people overlook. You are an inspiration Beau!

Easily one of my favourite channel on CZcams. I could watch Beau all day. What a bloke!
Same here. Totally positive and sun smile causing... 🙃😊
You're best, man. Best content on CZcams. And an overall great human being. The world is more magical with people like you in it.
There are few creators who make me smile, laugh, feel something all while doing something useful and wholesome. Well done Beau!
Beau renews my hope for humanity, he has a rare soul that is difficult to find and comes along once or twice in a lifetime. Keep up the good deeds, you’re appreciated!!!!!
Love the old land rovers
Just as I thought "when's Beau uploading again? Could come any moment now" and the next day, here we are!
And now I've seen it, it was Fantastic!
Brilliant, as always, Beau. ''As ugly as a hatful of bums' is definitely going into my vocabulary!
Best beauism yet!
My brain response was... "A hatful of bums, what an odd picture... who'd think of that... um Beau"
Beau has cleaned that phrase up a bit for us.
Beau-
You wise guy.
You goof ball!
Wonderful of course.
Too fun and of course a great message.
I love your work.
I love that you make up you own adventures.
You are Beau and that is your gift.
Thank you.
Best,
Steve aka The Talking Fly
You are my inspiration and hero Beau. I think you have life figured out
Thank you so much Beau! You remind me that even with all the stupid stuff going on in the world, WE are what can make life wonderfully wacky and worth living.
Ain't that life though, just running into one bollard after the next 😂 always love your content Beau!
Beau is one my Fav aussie youtubers watched every video he put out 10/10 Dont we all like free junk for that handy build fixer upper job
Reminds me of the Guy with a Wheelbarrow story walks on a ship dressed like a worker The Security never gave him a 2nd thought xd
A few weeks L8tr he Lifted/stole $10,000,s goods from shipping containers power tools elect and pc stuff he covered them with a bit old rubbish as he left the ship Ha! :)
This is awesome. When he showed us the wood rings, I saw a great pattern on nice material. He saw the story behind the wood, the years it endured. This man.
Not everyone would’ve the confidence to go on a national television in dirty work clothes after running all day yesterday and the show day. I love that attitude. You’re inspiration! Big love!
Beau always puts me in a bloody mood, so he does!
It's almost like working with wood is an adventure every time ;)
You are making me smile on my commute to work. Thank you!
Beau, I love your films and your incredible storytelling. What you and Mitch are creating there (on a not so regular basis, but often enough) is so captivating and just so different to anyone else out there. I'm hoping my videos will reach that level one day. In the meantime I'm learning a lot from you!
Thank you and keep doing what you're doing!
I'm convinced you are a machine, a well-made and very entertaining machine. I've watched so many of your videos and I'm always left shaking my head at your inexhaustible energy and curiosity.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… the world needs more Beau. 😊
"ugly as a hatful of bums" Beau has an excellent turn of phrase.
My respect for you Beau is insurmountable. Love your work and your belief system
Loved the Donnie Darko reference! Thanks for inspiring us to be more creative and to re-use !
9:09 I'm not to big into wood, but i did take a woodshop class in the 10th grade. that's beautiful wood.
That was a lovely chair. I'd love to have one on my porch.
Initially I was against painting the chair. Then, seeing it painted blue, it just made sense. All it needs now is to have CHEP painted on it too. 👍🏼 Incredible work Milesy.
perfect. matching red one?
Beau Miles Videos are the only videos I watch at regular speed because I simply just dont want them to end.
I’m totally the same!
Most underrated youtuber on youtube
Thank you for making my day, and the world a little bit better!
Big Love from Scotland Beau, Thank you for the inspiration to do something more with my life, I started with finding pallets, used old Facebook market for old hand tools and now i am loving the sensation of a good plane against a bit of timber. Got the book ordered and on the way and look forward to more and more content. thanks again mate hopefully i can meet you in-person one day and say it to your face keep up the stellar work.
aw jeez beau, you never fail to lift my spirits. I deal with a lot of chronic physical and mental illness, which can make basic daily tasks very difficult, especially as a self employed artist. your videos and the messages you convey throughout them give my wonky brain/body such a helpful kick in the right direction, I can't thank you enough for the countless slumps your work has helped me out of. goodonya mate x
Why are white women so sad in general? You live in a first world country in a peaceful time.
Beau you are a breath of fresh air!
"Do you want to have a bag for your groceries?"
"Nah... I've got a wheelbarrow."
Classic.
Excellent video as always!
You are a national treasure to Australia 🇦🇺
*Global treasure!!
Awesome as usual. I’d love for you to build more things and show people how to make things. I’m in the process of gathering pallets to build my cats their own house. I haven’t a clue. Being a 70 year old woman with no building or design, should be a palace.
Your river video should be awarded the best horror video of all time. It’s made me more aware of my environment and I pick up rubbish. It’s amazing how much is out there.
Thanks 🙏🏼 for making this serious issue, fun and exciting
Go get em tiger (bits of rubbish while scouting for pallets- an excellent chunk of work). Ta for the kind words
I love seeing my city in this way hahahaha I've been on those exact streets every other day for the last decade for uni and work, and can recognize every street in the periphery but it's crazy how many details I don't notice and how different the energy is looking through someone else's eyes with such a different purpose. Definitely kicking myself for not grabbing more palettes around UTS now hahaha
Watching your other videos, I've known how much of a champ you are at running - but far out watching you teleport from darling harbour over to bloody newtown within the day while exploring all over the botanical gardens really puts it in perspective.
People idolize garbage non contributing people of society and life and there's gems like Beau out here making the world a better place with one scrap of wood at a time. Underrated man you are Beau
I'm not from there, but I think Beau is achieving a Ned Kelly level of legendary in Australia
Gee, easy on there slugger. That's lofty stuff. Old Ned is a famous dude- and what a tragic story too. But thanks Nugget. I'll take it.
Beau, I really think yours are the just about the best made videos on CZcams. But behind the editing, behind the humor, the elongated arms, I really love your message. Keeping usable wood out of the landfill, giving wood a second life, creating a beautiful and usable item. Cheers from west Texas.
I won't lie - I laughed out loud when you hit the pole! As always, great video Beau!!
I love Beau's capacity for joy. "How can you not be excited about that. Look at all those springtimes" genuinely affected me, such a beautiful perspective on life
this man needs a Nobel Prize or something
What a legend! This man cures depression and lack of motivation in life.

First to watch a Beau film is a good feeling 👌🏻
One thing that I've learned from watching your videos the last few years is this-You are always the same person no matter who you are around. What a great characteristic. It's one of my favorite things about a person and something many can learn from. Keeping being yourself, Mr. Miles!
That's a great insight, and you're right, a great (and rare!) characteristic.
You should do a video explaining how you can identify what type of wood you are looking at, so quickly.
7:14 I LOVE that reference. My favorite bloody movie and it's so old no one ever talks about it

Your stories are definitely good enough to watch in 360p. Even helped me through a stretch of migraine today. Don't think I could've handled full HD. Good on ya, mate!
huh?
The sheer amount of comments aimed towards how much of an impact your videomaking and attitude towards life has us on all is mindblowing. The world needs more Beaus.
You're the absolute best, Beau! This is not only great content but you're the real deal with real convictions. You've opened my eyes to the mundane around me, and for that I thank you. All the best to ya!
"ugly as a bag full of bums" ... I'd say I'm stealing that, but it just wouldn't be the same coming from me!
So happy you're receiving even more recognition for your eccentric and creative ways! Very inspiring.
BEAU NEVER FAILS TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE.
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?
@@nanoqht285 let people express themselves in the way they want
9:08 - what a beautiful way to look at wood! each line indicating a wonderful blooming springtime
This guy is down to earth 🌎
I struggle with depression and suicidality, if that is a thing, but this fuckin guy makes me smile. Id hug him if i could.
Lesssgo!!! It’s a wonderful day when Beau drops 🔥❤️💪🏻🇦🇺😊
Always love to see an upload from ya Beau, Sydney loves ya. ❤️
Need more Videos of Beau's Adventures. Spent all week going through his videos now i've watched them all and just want more. Goodonya mate what a Legend!
Few things get the weekend motivation to do "something quirky" going like your vids Beau. Cheers!
Boom!
