    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.

  • @kenwebster5053
    @kenwebster5053 Рік тому +4

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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
