Being a Human Haybaler is hard work - The 12 Days of Newness | Ep 9

THE HANDMADE BALES: When men in their tractors towing harvesters made silage on my paddock recently I wandered around the giant green bails and marvelled at the efficiency of the process. But I also noticed entire seams of cut grass still left on the ground. I thought, you know what, I could run around and gather up the leftover hay, and make my own bales!’. So that’s what I did.

Have you ever done much sewing Beau?! What about a video called ‘dream hat’ where you construct your perfect hat! ❤ a long time watcher

[@anthonyward7971]

Great suggestion. Even just repairing some used apparel and learning something along the way

[@tbillington]

Excellent idea

[@DebOxy]

Reckon he should make a shade cap from caps he finds 😉

[@brandondegraaf]

Day 13 of newness: Beau makes a hat...

[@melissashiels7838]

Would love to see Beau take on a sewing challenge!

[@AndrewChilds23]

Beau seems like someone treating life like a video game. Runs everywhere, wears whatever gives him the best stats, and does every side quest.

[@NotAllBooksSmellNice]

Slowly acquiring more companions

[@callumloughran2911]

Just building up the XP, can't wait for the Big Boss quest.

[@MrDevilzman666]

Next, he'll be diving off of high places into the bale for fun

[@praski149]

A baling man, a sweaty chap, No towel nor rag upon his lap. He scoops the hay and binds it tight, His sweaty brow a humorous sight. The sun beats down, the heat intense, His sweaty dance, a mere pretense. He laughs, he jokes, he makes light, Of his perspiring, glistening plight. "Oh, sweat!" he exclaims, "You slippery foe, You make me damp from head to toe!" But he carries on, and bales away, For nothing stops the man of hay.

[@bojkovszkyzsolt2280]

up!

[@muhammad2086]

Nice Chat gpt poem 😂

[@killyGHILLIE]

Genius, thanks

[@BeauMiles]

Bloody excellent little ditty

[@Jppnametaken]

@@samildanach It does sound like a chatgpt poem tbh, but it's a nice little poem regardless of how it was made.

[@LessThanThree76]

”Look at that rake, it got teeth like a British actor” - Beau Miles 2023 BRILLIANT! 😂😂😂

[@Tasz_]

For anyone wondering, one 4x5 Round bale would be approx 50-70 of Beaus 'tuckerbox' bales (They are compressed quite tight). The shot at 3:06 shows there are 23 Rounds in the paddock that Beau is in. I estimate Beau raked between 0.6% and 0.8% of the hay in that paddock.

[@Hokenlord]

it's all a good day's work

[@1ronman1]

It ain’t much but it’s honest work

[@zestoslife]

Thank you I was wondering what the 'waste' from the bailing process was.

[@timbaak]

At this rate you can watch Beau do just about anything and it's still gonna be interesting

[@metalheadjakob]

I feel like that may be the overarching theme and I kinda love that.

[@cineblazer]

Only other creator I can think of that's like this is Casey Neistat. Him and Beau have both got this mystical ability to make *anything* entertaining.

[@jasonrubik]

@@cineblazer Casey has a totally different personality and no one can compare to Beau

[@cineblazer]

@@jasonrubik It's not a competition! I was just noting that both of these men have an incredible knack for storytelling :)

[@mogwai_]

I found a favorite hat as an adult. Changed my life. When I lost it I actually had a grieving period. I see Beau going through his own hat grief and I feel for you mate. You'll figure things out, we persevere!

[@Lukeslittletribe]

As a man who does the hay run every summer, and sweating my ass off every summer just loading the pre made bails from the tractor into the shed ... I can appreciate the effort put into making your own bails.

[@margathea7072]

Bails motivated by balls!

[@lmccampbell]

my grandfather grew up during the depression and whenever we bailed we would go back in like this.

[@TyBraek]

'The best things I own are often the last things I think about" Best line! I love making gear that is "forgettable". If I can make a product you never have to think about It means it has become a part of you, and that is the best feeling for me.

[@royster1696]

Beau, I'm eating a cold tin of beans (of the baked variety ) after a long day of writing up my PhD thesis, just wanted to let you know that your videos have been a real inspiration the last few years and these latest ones are certainly helping me through the write up, cheers!

[@pooperdrop]

Beau's cardiologist must *love* these videos. This man is a machine

[@akaelalias4478]

Just commenting to mention how lovely Beau's descriptions of fatherhood are.

[@zhisu2665]

it's still nuts how you can make videos about pretty mundane things and yet they're still thoroughly entertaining

[@danielhegarty7996]

This has very quickly become my favourite series on KZbin and I dare say I’ll be a little lost once it’s over! Great work Beauy

[@vlogtr3k]

The timing of the edit on that ending word. *Chefs Kiss*

[@robertmatthews2154]

This feels like a TV show. Crazy production quality

[@gumnutsman]

Beau's next business venture should be the perfect hat. I'd buy 2

[@tomiesz]

Beau's Bails sounds like a good name for a business

[@fredzfrog]

There's a positive irony of the Tucker box being repurposed into making Tucker for cattle😅❤

[@gierasole]

The amount of beau films I have been seeing is astonishing!! Glorious beau!!

[@melissashiels7838]

This was the perfect video. I'm sitting in an airport, nervous about what awaits me on the other side. Some light-hearted good fun was exactly what I needed.

[@besteven]

"I get to use my favorite machine: myself." I'm adopting this phrase from here forward. 32 degrees this morning, and me facing a 3-mile run in one of America's flattest and plainest neighborhoods ever--and now I have another mantra. Delightful videos, Mr. Miles; I enjoy these so much.

[@travislayes6024]

One of the top 50 good people in this world.

[@State-Of-Mind]

I love how Beau is always running as if he's being timed

[@smoothjazzfails]

It’s a breath of fresh air watching your videos and Van Neistat videos.

[@abbeyfarago5272]

This man was a honey bee in a past life

[@ulrichminky9495]

My dad born in Sheffield England in 1906 would have called your tucker box, a campaign box. We had several mostly filled with camping gear. For when we went out on a campaign... Cheers from snowy wastes of Canada. ~ulrich

[@gpenicaud]

Jeez that man works hard. Starts out by running!

[@jakerubino3233]

Lmao was thinking “like a Pom” as you said “like a British actor” - classic

[@jordandingbaum3224]

BEAU!!! You need the SunWay's Legionnaire Sun Hat!! You got me into this style of hat and it for sure checks all your boxes. Also made in your neck of the woods. Not trying to advertise or anything, just a really fine hat. SOMEONE get this man this hat or show me where to send it LOL!!

[@jkoperski9925]

Tue running makes everything more entertaining. xD Thanks for another great rant about something, this time the hat. Love it.

[@northwall9243]

2:48 "Genuis!" has the to be campest moment we've seen yet from Beau, and I loved it. Great video as always! Fun thing to do out in the sun and as a fellow mega-sweater I deeply understand the dry shirt patch comment

[@scottg753]

You sir are a treasure. An thank you for reminding me and everyone else that we aren't crazy to want to do things that aren't terribly efficient but bring us joy and wonderment when we do them by hand or with simple tools.

[@skie6282]

This must be the handmades tale i keep hearing people talk about, interesting

[@taylormacgillivray8414]

During the hay hunting scene, I was reminded of the line ‘look Denis, there’s some lovely filth over there’ from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. An unexpected parallel, but a hilarious one nonetheless.

[@Jafmanz]

using a soil rake on grass has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a long while.

[@Roach420]

I'm just happy these videos came back

[@priscillah.3418]

Among the many delights of this story is getting to listen to Beau say "baaiuhls" over and over.

[@Frombie_01]

I know. Correct pronunciation of the English language is a beautiful thing. 😀

[@numba1artist]

I’m very excited to see this bloke skydive.

[@jeffmoffat6967]

One of the best newness vids

[@Flickmarcy]

Thanks for the most wholesome, least toxic entertainment on the whole internet Beau

[@M.C.A.T.]

This goes a long way to keeping the internet weird. My comfortably fitted toque is off to you.

[@justindastar]

Sky Dive, how many of these adventures are just a way of making sure the Mrs's scolds you. lol

[@that1critic]

I want you to know how you and your team personally impact my mental health in a positive way. Cheers mate. If you need another new thing; Come to Idaho and find an antler with me.

Missed title opportunity for 'The Handmade Bales'

My man, we just changed it to YOUR suggestion. thanks T Boss...hope that's ok. (we might have to fling you our titles next! ) ta mate

[@tboss1111]

@@BeauMiles love it!

[@geoffrey6000]

We used to do this ask kids, we'd collect a huge amount, lay it down in a swath, and then have our dad run over it with the bailer.

[@karlgrift9113]

You are the only person I have notifications on for Beau.

[@wesbrackmanthercenthusiast4695]

What you need is a stationary haypress ,horse drawn hay rake ,horse drawn hay wagon and a hay lift to put it on the wagon

[@funiguy8779]

I think we need a whole series dedicated to finding a good hat...

[@patrolmaverick]

That goes to show how much more efficient modern machinery can make an age old job. Imagine when people used to cut an entire paddock by hand, then having to bail it by hand too.

[@MrMilesdriven]

Good to see you back Beau

[@hanslain9729]

"Like a British actor." LOL!

[@AkJakolantern]

I feel like John Locke would greatly enjoy this video.

Time for a line of Beau merch, starting with a Beau designed “THE perfect hat”!

[@arthurwright9007]

Thank god you're back!

[@seeza]

I'm glad you did this while the sun was shining.

We love you Beaudy!

[@creesch]

Beau here taking the "touch grass" remark even a step further :D . Seem very much applicable in the long line of approaching things from a different angle and outdoor perspective. Edit: I just realized people might see it in a negative context. I just meant it as the general remark for "going outside".

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

as someone that has stood on a rake i can say it was the most hilariously painfull experiemce of my life.....right up there with jumping a bicycle and landing on the crossbar....everyone that saw it was laughing and crying at the same time 👍😆

[@selymC]

Nice strong little Tucker box that Mr Miles!

[@violetluv100]

“Looks at those teeth, like a British actor” 😂😂 so on point!

Yep feeling ya on the hat! I understand the attachment and the loss..😊

Never ceases to amaze me that I can watch beau do absolutely anything and enjoy it

[@raiNofchAosFPS]

06:37 when he explains how if he stood on the sharp bit. back in the day my mother called us and we were in the garden as kids. we ran back to the house and one of our mate stood on the rake. the metal spoke of the rake went into his big toe and logged itself into his bone. we had to cut off the rake with a grinder and take him to the hospital with the piece of the rake left in his foot. wasn't a fun thing to see or hear, so always place a rake lying down flat unless its plastic.

[@Viktoria-7]

I hit the like button as soon as the vid started!!!

[@thomaskla]

I grew up on a farm and my dad made me one of these as a kid for me to stuff with hay. Our box had slots in the sides (2 each side) to thread a needle through to tie up, your's is much simpler. I would do that and make my own tiny bails while watching my dad in the field with the big equipment. Brings back great memories. Thanks!

[@twokharacters]

Yaaaaaasss!! As a former parachute packer and skydiver I am excited for the next one. Well, I'm excited for any Beau Video but the next for sure. Can't wait to see how you Beau it up!!

[@gielkassenaar161]

I love Beau so much, I don’t watch much KZbin but this guy and the storror boys i really really love. I just recently found out that Toby Segar the legend himself is a big fan of you Beau. Happy to learn that my two favourite and so different channels are still connected. Between his parkour practice Toby is watching this !

[@ddruff]

You're obviously a big fan of the ginger beard!! They are 2 of my absolute fav KZbinrs

I walked into my shed one night and stepped on my rake like you almost did and it hit me dead center in the ole noggin. Talk about rattling the ole cage and being so mad I could of snapped that rake in half haha...
