Running a half marathon with a rock and a wheelbarrow

"There's a good chance that's Beau Miles'" Brilliant, lol.

[@CarlsCozyCorner]

That's a good friend. He recognizes that only Beau is weird enough to do that.

[@jordanm6432]

"There's a good chance that that's Beau Miles." I'd say when people quantify unusual scenarios by assuming you're involvement, you're winning. Laughed out loud at that bit.

[@janewhitzend688]

Me too

[@JoshEdwardsFilms]

"When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you're winning" - that seems to encapsulate so much of what your videos are about and it's what keeps bringing me back every time you upload. Also, there's the fact that you can somehow make a bloody good story out of digging a rock out the ground...there's not too many people on KZbin who possess such a talent (nor the motivation or imagination to do so). Good on ya Beau!

[@hereticmorte666]

love this

[@Acidassassin420]

Absolutely brilliant that line.

[@ArthurDentDK]

I feel this way running in my neighborhood after being on vacation. Often thinking, if I was still on vacation I would have taken a photo of that sight! It is a great experience to view the familiar in a new light.

[@JoshEdwardsFilms]

@@ArthurDentDK yep! So often I catch myself taking the place I live for granted. It's always nice to get out of that box and see things from a new perspecitve

[@drfruen]

What Josh said!

[@BeauMiles]

Thanks to everyone who voted for The Backyard Adventurer in Booktopias Favourite Australian Book Award. Very cool notes about this production: Mitch and I produced this film in 4 days from start to finish/shoot to upload (Mitch still refuses to drink coffee- he’s very pure, which is actually pretty hard arse). This is our quickest turnaround by far, way quicker than even the haircut film (which was really just a 45min shoot!). Big insights: no reshoots/shoot to edit/do multiple takes while filming/running; get your focus right (Mitch killed it, I just push ‘on’); trust the story; have fun; get good help (Mitch's partner Kelly and sister Sherb on socials and photos) and shack up to an understanding/hardworking wife or girlfriend so that you and your mate can lock yourselves in an old garden shed for a few days. Lastly, we split the film into parts to split up the storytelling/edit to keep ourselves from drifting. In all, it was a bloody excellent, but not quite sustainable form of filmmaking.

[@ArcticNightwind]

Perfect timing! Cbeers mate, love ya!

[@vopenacattleco]

I think you are a genius. Cheers from Oregon

[@colbycalabrese8417]

Just finished listening to the 2 podcast episodes 1.5 minutes ago! Great Podcast, can't wait for more! Great film too! Also, I voted twice for the book, not sure if that was allowed, but I did it. Cheers!

Voted. 👏👏👍👍

[@createcapital6164]

“Hey, there’s a bloke goin along the side of the road with a wheelbarrow!” “Oh yeah? What’s he doin?” “I dunno. I think he’s carrying a rock.” “Oh yeah, that makes sense.” 😂🤣

[@stevengreenhough4232]

"I heard the rock hurt his friend, and he's claimed it in some kind of warriors honour thing" "I heard the rock is a monument, a testament to their ever growing friendship built on the foundations of healthy rivalry and a shared persuit" "I heard the rock is their illegitimate love child."

[@matthayward7889]

Two things occur to me: 1) I’ll happily watch anything narrated by Beau 2) no one says “bastard” like an Aussie

[@Turpie1985]

The Irish run them close 😀

[@elibaier]

There is a certain feeling you get after watching a Beau Miles film that is a bit undescribable. You just know that the world will be ok.

[@johnnienoel-baker]

"I've always thought I'd want to be a golf ball hunter if I could be anything, but maybe I want to be a rock extractor" What a legend

2 Beau Miles videos in one month? Has he gone mad? Thank you for the presents Beau!

[@BeauMiles]

Was a stretch, but we got there!

[@brianvansickle5196]

you are an absolute gift to the world sir. you keep adventuring, we’ll keep being inspired!

[@EntirelyHonest]

Beau Miles, the only KZbinr that can get me to watch a 10 minute video about a rock, and be entertained the whole way through. Thank you sir. Bravo 👏

[@helenm1085]

I saw this comment, my next recommended video was Tom Scott talking about rocks for 3 minutes.... It's not 10, but if he had 10 minutes of rock content I'd probably watch that too haha

[@JHamList]

the thing i love about the random stuff Beau does, is that they create value for the community around him, large or small, whether its planting trees, or just travelling from one place to another, this is a man who leaves a trail of positivity in his wake, keep it up mate.

[@danielholland4385]

the 100% fact he NAILED you on the FIRST GUESS was EPIC!!!!!!!! hahahaha.... it had me crying

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

I absolutely love this channel! Mate your videos are absolute piece of art! Well done! Good on you mate! Keep going!

[@paolapizzicori5263]

I'd never imagine to find Captain Joe here....a good surprise!

[@mschingacor]

Beau you crack me up with your monologue 🤣 Your lovely wife is the coolest for not minding your odd adventuring!

[@tannernabozniak5196]

This is bloody fantastic. It’s like a comedy skit crossed with a motivational workout demonstration. 😂 I love it

[@cancuninsidergroup]

Beau Miles has something that Casey Niestat will never have, a bloody great Aussie accent. Story telling on another level, kudos Beau and team.

[@nithazra]

Often when I'm out in the sticks, I find myself thinking "why didn't I bring a bag for rubbish?" Now I'm going to have to escalate that to a wheelbarrow.

[@outbackcookin]

Hey Beau. When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you're winning" Thats what life is about. Keeping it simple and slowing down enough to appreciate the little simple things. Thanks for a great channel!

[@labamba1134]

Mate, i am Nicaraguan, living in Germany and for some reason i've found one of your videos, by now i've seen them all and just started reading your book, i still struggle understanding some words ( my mother language is spanish) but i find absolutely interesting how you can turn the simplest task into something exciting, congrats on your book and your channel!!

[@AdriannTRPY]

Brucey you absolute legend. Beau youre good too mate, real good..

[@Chris-yt7nw]

I'm pretty sure that everybody in his district isn't surprised anymore. They go out for a nice Sunday drive and see Beau just casually running with a wheelbarrow and it´s just a normal Sunday in the neighborhood. no-one bats an eye anymore. I love it! Great video as usual bud!

[@Andeh2010]

Most people in the world would be thinking "...its a rock". But for most of us watching, that rock was just a solid piece of entertainment for 10 minutes! I love the obscurity and mystery that Beau always finds amongst the most common, everyday things. Keep it up bud!

[@aidanflynn9833]

“When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you’re winning” one of the best things I’ve ever heard

[@JoliNatural]

That is a serious bruise / roll of the ankle. OUCH!!!! Well done removing the rock, all the locals wanted to yet never had the right equipment with them at the time.

[@thetalkingfly]

Beau- Love that you keep playing around. Cheers, Steve

[@lester44444]

This rock is almost like a gangland warning hahaha the runner's equivalent to a mafioso's thoughtfully gifted horsehead. Once a running nemesis, always a running nemesis 🤷‍♀

[@ramsesbams]

i really love the kid going "that's a nice rock"

[@GreatFlamingEyebrows_]

6:33 that quote sums up why I love this channel so much. "doing things some of us think but not many of us do"

[@zoot8378]

I genuinely feel like watching Beau’s videos has made me a better person. Thanks Beau!

[@pauldougall8385]

Reminds me of running with shopping trolleys. Good fun!

[@thomasellis7625]

So I’m right at 4:00 in, I think this rock is gonna be waaaaay more work than Beau is expecting. On the farm we had a small rock in the orchard, and one day when our friends were out with their landscaping setup to help pipe and fill a ditch we decided to get the bobcat over to see about getting this pesky rock out of the orchard. We came back the next day with a crane, and a dump truck of soil. Edit: I’m pleasantly surprised for Beau lol, never really know how these things will go

[@samuellazzell7525]

“When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you’re winning.” What a line.

[@longy6612]

As someone who rolls a ankle once every 6 months i appreciate your service mate 👍

[@greatlakeblake]

there is an element of performance art in this person

[@RyanCondon]

"I was gonna name it Rocky or Sharon" I actually laughed out loud. This is a massively underrated channel. Fully deserves more subscribers and viewers. Well done Beau, keep the films coming :)

[@benzaremba6440]

I cannot put into words how much I love these films. Everything Beau says, and does are a complete reflection of someone, who I believe, is living the right life. Carefree, sense of humor, sees the interest and joy in anything that he does. The audience that Beau captivates is also a special group. I try to show these films to people all the time, and sometimes they don't quite stick as much with my mates as they do with me. Keep making films Beau

[@FabeMcL]

You're doing life right when something like this happens and someone goes "there's a good chance that's Beau Miles."

Too many people don't even use their blinker while driving... Beau does it whilst pushing a wheelbarrow. Goodonyas!

[@doingstuffoutdoors3002]

I love the way beau treats life with the enthusiasm of a five year old wearing a batman Cape and ya just know ya gonna have a smile on ya face when the video finishes..👍👍👍

Calling the rock “Sharon” 😂 amazing! Cheers Beau, another good one, just bought the book too so looking forward to having a good old read, all the best from Norfolk, UK 🇬🇧

[@crazybeardjones]

My favorite part of this whole video is how well he filled in the hole🤣🤣🤣, good on ya Beau!

[@SeanHodgins]

Back in my landscaping days, running wheelbarrows full of soil, gravel, or rocks from the street to different backyards was always one of the best parts of the day. Always a good bit of competition in whos was the fastest too.

[@Haze_E1]

haha then ol mate fucking asses over and has a sulk because gotta clean it up

[@brackeng1294]

We did it with Sod. If you hit too many bumps the front of the wheelbarrow would collapse and start rubbing on the wheels. Never stopped us from trying to beat the other guy.

[@derekhope6542]

These videos feel so incredibly human to me. There's a warmth to them that always picks me up. Cheers, Beau

[@okbyethankshello]

I always feel like I've travelled to a far-flung land, experiencing the most exotic of adventures when watching these videos. Thanks for the Vic based experiences Beau.

I was saddened that he took the rock in the first place whose cares about his stupid friend should have been watching where he was going. I'm taking Beau to court to sue him. because he did this on Aboriginal sacred ground.

This is hands down my favourite video of yours, it’s great how you can take something so simple and make a great story and video out of it. Well done 👏

As an Aussie who has been living overseas for three years (2 of those without the possibility of coming home), watching your videos with a cup of tea brings me closer to home. Thank you for both bringing what I love with home to me on the other side of the world.

Amazing Beau! That’s exactly what I was thinking when you first told the story. Dig it out and give it to the guy.

A Golf Ball Hunter sounds like a dream job. I didn't know it existed. In Florida, you could be the Dundee of Golf Balls.

[@PeeramonPat]

It is indeed, or used to be. My old man used to 'fox' golf balls on the course near his house where he grew up, would sell them back to the club or directly to players. If he didn't like a person who asked him if he'd seen their ball he'd pretend he didn't have it in his pocket...
