Following two rivers, one drain, one sea and one creek, it turns out that paddling to work, which ends up being mostly a drag, over four full days, is bloody hard work.
After a stripped back walk to work (The Commute: walking 90km to work), I decided to continue experimenting between the lands and seas of home and work. This time by paddling. At least, that was the plan; following two rivers, a canal, the sea, and a creek- all the way to my desk. What usually takes 75 minutes by car took four full days of mostly dragging, burning over 18,000 calories. Sleeping by the river, under a train line and next to a boat ramp, the final drag through the suburbs was a full watershed transect, which is an intimate view into all the goods and bads of humanity- including myself. What was another commuting stunt turned out to be the hardest, most insightful four days of travel I’ve ever done.

This film and Beau's walking commutes inspired me to give my on-foot commute a go. Preferring to avoid the highway I made a 24 mile route on mostly trail and ran home after a day's work just a few weeks ago. It took me about 4 hours and the wildflowers were stunning!

I can't believe that it is already two years since I've watched this film for the first time. I've saved it actually, as a reminder of what our adventures should be all about. A mix of hard effort, seeing the world around us for what it is, and sucking up things that are out of our control. I'll most probably come back here to reflect some more. Great job and insights in this film Beau.

I love the concept of "finding" adventures. Most people want to "go" on adventures, like finding a new place or area to explore. But when you say "finding adventures", its different. Finding adventures in places you have already explored and know about. I often go back to the forests and streams I would play in as a kid, and its always a unique experience when I go back because I am gaining new perspectives. Love the way you tell your stories.

I didn't do something this extreme, but just started biking to work over the last 2 months. It's made the experience of going to work a lot more enjoyable. I'm no longer on autopilot during my commute. I start to notice many small things in the neighborhood that I usually miss. By the time I get to work, I'm more awake, alert, and in a better mood. The commute home is where it starts to get fun. I'm off in the early afternoon and the routes home are endless. Do I go for a nice cruise along the ocean? Make a huge climb up the mountain take some dirt/gravel trails? Ride along the reservoir? Typing this got me thinking of a video for you. You have done car, walk, and now kayak to work, why not bike? Now the time to get to work isn't going to be anywhere near as long as those last two, but what if you showed you can change your commute through nice detours or sights you want to see. Show that your commute doesn't always have to be on paved roads or the shortest routes.

I moved to AU a number of years ago and it really surprised me just how much drier it was and how much smaller 'rivers' were. Aside from the big estuarine areas within a few km of the coast (all the major cities are situated along the largest rivers by the coast), there's not really much of the continent that is navigable by water. Even a tiny kayak has to be portaged much of the way until you get near the ocean. Makes you appreciate just how important water conservation is down under

I did something like this once when I was a kid. My dad took me and my brother out, and we canoed from a small river out into the bay. We had to go under bridges and through storm drains could barely fit through. It was a lot of fun. One really memorable part was a storm drain we all had to lay down in the canoe to pass through. I remember being inches away from the top of the storm drain, and it was covered in spider webs too.

When I was 9-10 my aunt and uncle build a small raft with me. We went down the river that flows along our village. A couple years later I went fishing there with my neighbour (ca.50yo). He wanted to show me where the river runs deep and where the fishes stay and hunt. I could tell he was wrong and showed him a couple of really deep parts that I discovered with my aunt and uncle. I could tell him where the river had formed hidden caves under the embankment and how the ground was shaped like. Traveling down the river once had shown me much more about it than just walking along it for 30years. Great video, greetings from germany.

No sponsors no prize money and very few even knew what I was doing.... I knew...and I cared whether or not I completed my challenge. So many things I learned about myself...my "friends" and associates and my community. The body aches and pains the sights and sounds and wildlife encounters are memories I will have forever. I love the look on someone's face when I tell them what I was doing... ...and for the last 2 weeks I am the guy that did it....2021 miles on Pottsburg Creek. I was inspired to attempt it by watching your adventures...thanks mate.

Changing a simple commute to a place into a journey is now one of my favorite things to do and I don't think I would've thought to do it without a bit of inspiration from Beau. I'm still not the best runner but I have ran to pick up packages, medicines, and shopping for small things because they are close by car and good distance to run. It forces an appreciation for modern transport that is so easy to forget about and take for granted.

273 people disliked this. how? For me, this and the walk to work video has redefined my perception of adventure. I’m 41, been fortunate enough to get to all 7 continents and love discovery. this has made me wonder about my local area so much more. As a teacher, I’m thinking - walk to work as some sort of adventure week etc try to create some sort of inspiration in the kids I teach. Its not adventure if its easy…

"I'm a bit late. Four days...well no.. three..its...Yeah I left home four days ago or four mornings ago......I don't know what you'd say..yeah." Got a good chuckle out of me, based on a previous real convo :P ? Haha seriously enjoyed this one.

Perfect timing for this film - just read this section in your book (signed copy - brilliant!). How to make the best of a bad situation ‘the best thing about only one mosquito in your bivi - he can only take so much!’ Great outlook on life.

Legend! I once paddled 6hrs to work, and camped out in the bush for the week then paddled back home at the end of it. Your videos were some of the best motivation for me in the times that I doubted myself before the adventure!

Overused phrase; "inspirational". Definitely applies to you, Beau. Not the whole motivation, but certainly an influence; I quit where I lived and moved to a Scottish island. 5 walk (towing a kayak) to the lochside. Even a one hour paddle takes me to new interesting vistas, every time. Walk from my door over ancient hummocky landscapes, spot signs of otters, and just breath.
