Buddy has a classic western Canadian accent. From his phrases to his cadence. stoked to hear it on an Australian youtbe channel. I’m sure all the Australian liftys got a little nostalgic hearing it.
@@geofflongford2008 Those who work/operate a ski lift. A fair number of Aussies make their way to Canada (Whistler!) for a season (or ten) of working at a ski resort (being a lifty) and snowboarding. Good times.
I'm German and did my high school exchange in Chilliwack, BC about thirteen years ago, so my heart melted when I saw that my favorite youtuber is making a video on Chilliwack River ❤️ What a place
Chilliwack BC 🔥☣️ Really one of the cities of all time! I have watched all the surveillance videos here on YT of the people suicide crashing with their bikes, driving their cars backwards down the street, pissing out of the car door straight on the street and all that crazy stuff. One day I would like to see this beautiful place and it's magnificent specimens myself.🇨🇦🇩🇪
Any other Chilliwack locals here gutted they didn't know Beau was in our backyard?!🥲 Great video as always Beau! Always inspiring whilst sharing your life with us. Thank you!
This channel is trying its absolute best to show that story telling is still the pinnacle of good content. Thank you, Beau. Your work is refreshing as it is inspiring.
1:27 I love how you're in the middle of the wilderness, at a random place, at a random time, film a random B-roll, and still manage to get a bird centered that shits mid flight. That's Beau Miles for yall & that's why i bought the book!
What, I've been watching these on and off, and there you are in Canada. Welcome to my country Beau, though I'm watching this year past. And as Canadian I can assert with no particular authority, that good rafts are hard, and yours wasn't bad. Hope you come back do another visit soon.
Canada just looks so beautiful. It's great that we have cousins on the other side of the world who are just as cool as us. I'd be terrified of bears up there though. Our kangaroos look tough but they're friendly guys. Thanks to the Canadian for taking you on the adventure. I hope he knows he has a lot of mates in Australia full of respect for him now.
Up north, you make noise as you go and for the most part the grizzlies will melt into the forest: they don't want to have anything to do with us. Then there's bear spray in case you surprise them. I've heard stories about roos and dingoes... it's all what you know. (True, though, I don't want to surprise a bear.)
To be fair, there are petting zoos with kangaroos and dingoes, including mothers with joeys. You don’t see petting zoos with bears, and definitely not mumma bear and cubs.
Watching a mother bear trying to corral her cubs is one of the best things you'll ever see. Watching them raid your bird feeder is pretty good too. But as far as fear factor, a bull moose is pretty scary.
Strange to see my childhood river on this channel. This whole video makes me feel as if I am home, the sounds and mountains, riverbeds and forest floors. What a wonderful supprise for a friday.
trippy, your river spot is about an hour drive from where I grew up and lived the first 16 years of my life. Its really odd to have watched some random youtuber from Australia for a few years just randomly pop up in basically your backyard praising all the things that were totally normal to you growing up. I mean, the house I grew up in had 12- 300+ year old cedar trees all over the yard, I literally grew up with those cedar trees, they hold such a special place in my heart as your Gumtrees do you for. its honestly great to see you get to experience the beautiful nature that I get to call home. In your videos you've shown in amazing detail the wonderful nature that surronds you, and you've really taken your audience along to almost as if they are right there with you experiencing this scenery themselves. In a way it just feels like its gone full circle, that you've shown where and what is special to you, only to end up in the very place that is special to me.
This is too cool! As soon as I saw the intro I knew the river. My mother was raised on the Chilliwack River's banks and I grew up and live very near the Vedder Canal (Which is the lower portion of the Chilliwack River.) Love your films Beau!
Love all this regular content Beau! Thanks so much, i'm going on my first solo kayaking expedition this summer down a river in rural wales. Thanks for the inspiration and videos
Ahh man this is bringing back memories! I lived in Canada for a year, as an Aussie who grew up on acreage, I really found myself in that beautiful country. I would go for big runs along the river systems and man they were crystal clear and so bloody powerful. I miss my second home everyday, Beau, this series is incredible mate! Top notch content 👌
This Toutube channel saves me. It's the perfect (and sometimes the only) escape for me from stressive and hard daily life and personal stuff that's affecting me. So really just my safe comfort place Thanks Beau ❤
being fully present, with no thought at all, is the most rewarding golden nugget any one can find in a day, i found kayaking does this for me, great video, thanks for sharing the love!
I'm from the northern bushes of Ontario just before it turns Quebec. I have to say Dave is one of the most Canadian men I've ever witness on film, or in person.
When I saw this title, I wondered just how much wood is needed to support a human above the water. A quick google search returned that white pine has a density of 350-500 kg per cubic metre. So that gives me a rule of thumb guide that we need about twice the mass of wood below the water line as we have weight above it. So considering that we need some freeboard to both stay dry & provide stability so that the raft doesn't simply flip over if we should happen to be slightly off centre, I'd say we need at least 3 times as much wood as we weight, if we want to stay dry in calm water. That's a lot of wood! Now I'll sit back and watch what happens with that in mind. OK, cedar is at the low end of the above densities, so maybe only twice your weight to keep you dry with a small margin for freeboard. Yep, it's not just the fly with a blue arse after that one!
Good one, Beau! Baked beans by the river, a "fantastic failure" of a raft that still gives you a "bloody good time", Dave's positivity. Love all of it! Makes me want to get back into the outdoors
Man there's so much I love about this film! BC's nature, whitewater rafting, two lads who just met having a good time, and of course your storytelling and filmmaking. I used t work as a guide myself a few years back in Austria. Dave seems like a cool dude!
I grew up not far from the chilliwack river so it was amazing seeing Beau tear down it on a bundle of sticks! Reminds me of being a kid again. It’d be sweet learning about when/why you lived in Canada too!
Got a chance to see this on the big screen in Chilliwack, what a hoot Beau! You were in good hands with Dave. Seeing you in our backyard is very special. I've really appreciated your films over the years, and love your attention to the writing and adding layers of meaning to "silly" ideas. Next time you're up here let's build an igoo out of ice!
I have ALWAYS lived in Canada (and for a time in Chilliwack) but have not built a raft. Challenge accepted. Thanks for the inspiration to do new things Beau. ❤
Seeing Beau in Canada is probably my favourite thing so far this year. I love this country and I'm glad you get to enjoy the beauty of our mountains and rivers. I would really love to see more of you in Canada doing stuff. do yourself a favour and take a drive through the icefield Parkways you will never regret it for the rest of your life. go visit Lake Louise and the (better) sister lake, Lake Moraine. in my opinion one of the most beautiful place on Earth.
Wow, I mean absolutly wow. I've just found you as a Canadian you have really inspired me to go out there and do whatever i want and to stop worrying about things and just live life the way it waas supposed to be man.
This video has given me goose bumps. Take away the raft. Takeaway river or Canada. Look at how he built rapport with a stranger he met the day before. Beau you know I’m gonna say it again… your phenomenal mate. Paying all the respect to your mate too.
Truly amazing to see you in another part of the world! I'm not sure how to describe my excitement seeing my favorite storyteller and my favorite scenery in one video :) Please do more backyard adventures around the globe! What a treat.
As a Canadian who was jealous of watching Beau pop tops all day during his bean diet, I'm somewhat chortling at his surprise we don't have the same lids the Aussies do
the fact that Beau has never built a raft before is probably the most surprising thing in this entire series
No it isn't
@@Charlie1776_ Except it is, he can build beautiful canoe paddles and all sorts of carpentry stuff. But never a craft to use those paddles on.
In Australia there’s not many big rivers like this to raft in mostly just little creeks
@@declan7164 that true, but it's still surprising
Agree!
Friends! What an absolute pleasure to show you my favorite place in the world. Thanks for the perfect little adventure. ❤️
LEGEND!
You seem like a great guy, friendly & calm - thanks for helping create this adventure for us to watch! Kia ora from New Zealand 😊
@@ProfessorLX thanks bro
@@NZKiwi87 thanks! I learned how to be a class A human from my time spent in your beautiful country. Cheers!
Thanks for representing Canada so well man! I'm over in Ontario and you nailed it man, the joyful, kind and adventurous! Good on ya eh!
Beautiful testament to the strange brothership shared between Canadians and Aussies.
Yeah what's up with that
@@y__h colonies.
Children of the British, pretty sure UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia have a partnership called CANZUK
United in our mutual disdain for Americans 😂
@@Joe-uv9jo Nah that's something the British are inventing because they now realize their old penal colonies are better than the motherland.
Whenever I'm nervous in a new place I'm gonna tell myself 'I reckon this new place and I are gonna have a very good day'
"A bad raft will still give you a bloody good time" - love that quote, Beau! 😆
Bloody, quite literally…
@@pinebearclub that one was a good saw 😉
I've heard that somewhere else, but the bloke was talking about a bird rather than a raft lol
So beau found the most Canadian version of him possible
Buddy has a classic western Canadian accent. From his phrases to his cadence. stoked to hear it on an Australian youtbe channel. I’m sure all the Australian liftys got a little nostalgic hearing it.
Big time on the accent
@PurpleBirch I mostly associate it with northern Ontario. And he confirmed that's where he's from.
What's a lifty?
I couldn't believe he wasn't Scottish when listening to some words!

Chilliwack BC 🔥☣️

So glad our home provided you fond memories!
@@christopherstein2024 The only place I've ever had gas stolen out of my car. The scenery is spectacular though.
@@BK11 Fucken Cory n' Trevor.
I like to believe that Dave is the mascot for Canada.
These two have to be the most Canadian and Australian sounding men to ever exist, both in the same place. Absolutely miraculous.
Love the contrast between Australian and Canadian accents.
Amazing adventure!
Any other Chilliwack locals here gutted they didn't know Beau was in our backyard?!🥲 Great video as always Beau! Always inspiring whilst sharing your life with us. Thank you!
packraft through there myself! so cool to see him in our backyard
i live in the okanagan and i feel gutted
I'm originally from Chilliwack and couldn't believe when I seen the river.

Thanks Dave, for looking after our mate Beau, and for the maple beanz..🤙🤗🌏
Welcome to the Wack !!! Great to have your energy here 🙏

Canada loves you too, Beau
Honestly, I want to be more like Dave. Such positivity, it's admirable

I've heard stories about roos and dingoes... it's all what you know. (True, though, I don't want to surprise a bear.)
It's mostly harmless black bears that just want to eat kelp or berries and be left alone.
To be fair, there are petting zoos with kangaroos and dingoes, including mothers with joeys. You don’t see petting zoos with bears, and definitely not mumma bear and cubs.
Watching a mother bear trying to corral her cubs is one of the best things you'll ever see. Watching them raid your bird feeder is pretty good too. But as far as fear factor, a bull moose is pretty scary.
The bears out there in BC are super friendly. They just want to give hugs.
There's no better representation of Beau being an outdoorsman + digital content creator than him building a wooden tripod to mount his GoPro onto
BC is lovely, I recommend stopping by to anyone if you're in to nature.
This is my favourite series on YT right now... Inspiring me to just go out and do things that I like instead of planning them forever.
Dave is naturally hilarious 😂
Just two buddies buddy-ing down a river. Love it.
Dave is a delight!
And Beau is an immense inspiration to enjoy life, as always
Strange to see my childhood river on this channel. This whole video makes me feel as if I am home, the sounds and mountains, riverbeds and forest floors. What a wonderful supprise for a friday.
Greetings from Canada! Glad you enjoyed our backyard.
Fantastic marriage between an outgoing Aussie and the beautiful Canadian woods and waters. And a great music score underpins it. Wow.
YOU'RE IN MY BACKYARD!!
And you found the Most Canadian Canadian. ❤ Love it
7:30 - "If you can go this way, you'll be happy."
*Beau just floats the other way*
Love it :D
1:51 beau calling a bluebottle a "blue-arse fly" might be the most Aussie thing I've ever heard and I'm absolutely here for it
"I'm very curious to see if we can avoid injury today." 😂 Always a banger of a video after that sentence.
As a Minnesotan, this is the closest thing to seeing Beau experience my side of the world. And it's absolutely delightful.
No wonder this series was delayed… BEAU WENT INTERNATIONAL!!!

Thank you Beau if I ever make it down under I will find you somehow.
Welcome to Canada Beau!
"I come from a..." "a land down under??" 🤣🤣 Touché
This is too cool! As soon as I saw the intro I knew the river. My mother was raised on the Chilliwack River's banks and I grew up and live very near the Vedder Canal (Which is the lower portion of the Chilliwack River.)

Home sweet home, baby. That’s my backyard river. We welcome you with open arms!!! Fun watch♥️… brave man, that river can rip!
Hope you enjoyed your visit in Canada 🇨🇦
Best one of the series
Nice to see Beau in my backyard! And well done Dave for taking him on a local adventure.
Love all this regular content Beau! Thanks so much, i'm going on my first solo kayaking expedition this summer down a river in rural wales. Thanks for the inspiration and videos
Which river?
Yeah which river? I live at the top of the wye is great at the moment but in summer gets pretty low.
How long will it take you?
@@simongumn3154 That's good to know, i was thinking of doing the river wye, i hadn't seen that written anywhere.
@@kierandaniels9374 two or three days hopefully

Uuummmm LOVING having a Beau Miles upload on the daily 🙌🏻👏🏻
Would love to see you do more videos in the Canadian Wilderness!

We Canadians and Aussies just get each other, eh?! Nice one ya wild beauties.
Awesome work!! My son just came out and said "That man came and talked to us at our school" You're a bloody legend mate.

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest, happy to have you, enjoy! I hope you’ve allowed yourself a good amount of time to experience the area.
Only channel on the platform where every video will both make me laugh and move me to the verge of tears.
Also, Dave is as Canadian as they come haha.
cool to see an Alpacka Raft in this video. They are made in the town where I live in SW Colorado!
"These kind of experiences are in essence of being human because they compliment an otherwise complicated existence". Seriously profound statement.
Beau trying beans with maple syrup makes me so happy 🇨🇦
Good one, Beau! Baked beans by the river, a "fantastic failure" of a raft that still gives you a "bloody good time", Dave's positivity. Love all of it! Makes me want to get back into the outdoors
This was the best one! Laughed so much and you both gave us so much positive energy. And not to forget this beautiful canadian nature! Thank You☀️

The ending remarks capture what the spirit of your videos convey to me. The human experience amongst nature. Thank you Beau.
As a Canadian, thank you for your kind words about our beautiful country.
More gold! Sickened this series is coming to an end😢
'I come from.....'
Beau - ' from a land down under??'
So quick Beau, love it.
Being Canadian this is my favourite video thus far
I have ALWAYS lived in Canada (and for a time in Chilliwack) but have not built a raft. Challenge accepted. Thanks for the inspiration to do new things Beau. ❤

Beautiful and what a great Canadian, the interaction is great to watch. You keep inspiring me Beau
Love how he talks about hopefully avoiding injury and dude already cut himself on his silky saw
Officially hooked on this channel. Beau, you're a straight up poet.
Thank you for this series.
Best day of 12 yet! A study in adventure and the social. In terms of positive, practical and extremly likeable, Beau has found his match!
Two of the most cheerful accents. Love it!
Wow, I mean absolutly wow. I've just found you as a Canadian you have really inspired me to go out there and do whatever i want and to stop worrying about things and just live life the way it waas supposed to be man.
Brilliant love it what an epic adventure! Canada what a place! Another one of then places on the bucketl list! Dave is a legend too! it seems! Rad!
Whats this it feels scammy? I will happily recieve a Giveaway if not but yeah doesnt lead anywhere? Weird as? Let me know please?
I love nature. I think I'm going to try this. Thank you Beau Miles
Terrible raft, awesome submarine! Love it!!
This video has given me goose bumps. Take away the raft. Takeaway river or Canada. Look at how he built rapport with a stranger he met the day before. Beau you know I’m gonna say it again… your phenomenal mate. Paying all the respect to your mate too.
beau this is nuts
Wow. This is an outside your zone dream. You’re an inspiration
Very cool to see you in the contrasting Canadian outdoors Beau. You hung on well.
When I was a kid, we used to build rafts from bamboo to play on in the rice fields when it was filled with water. Loads of fun!!
Truly amazing to see you in another part of the world! I'm not sure how to describe my excitement seeing my favorite storyteller and my favorite scenery in one video :) Please do more backyard adventures around the globe! What a treat.

"Warm and fuzzy, like a good Canadian" :D
Love to see you goofin' around in my home... beautiful BC. Excellent video as always!
cool to see somewhere i live in shown in this video out of all channels
I'm just up the highway from Chilliwack, glad you came to visit Beau.
