I went on TV and gave away junk

[@BeauMiles]

G'day folks, KZbin's taking a bloody long time to process the HD version of this video. We'll sit tight for a bit in the hope that it switches from 360p to HD soon... UPDATE: Looks like it's sorted itself out. Goodonyas!

[@pickuptrash]

Hey, I feel you. Happens to me all the time. What I do now are scheduled uploads so KZbin has at least 10h to process the video. I wish you luck!

[@milesprebble3820]

Good on you Beau, I'll do just that. This one looks like a ripper. Was awesome to meet you a few weeks back in Christchurch ;-)

[@douglas8707]

Better for the environment to watch in 360p anyway ;)

Watched 8 seconds before i tried to manually change and got chooked. "Only 360p?!"

[@kalleidoskop2]

Wonder what gave him away!

[@EDOGGH]

!

[@EDOGGH]

Literally a Legend. A teacher , husband , father , friend , roll model and a youtuber. He offers so much wisdom through example , and the creative way in which he lives his life is definetly worthy of the title Legend!

[@lollback]

Beau! Early that morning i was on my way to hospital with my wife, she was ready to pop and about to give birth, I was sitting in the car ponding on life and all the things ahead and I notice a guy running up King Street with a wheelbarrow. I had only recently watched all your films and I thought, that has to be Beau! Sure enough it was, thats me yelling from the car at the 14 minute mark, on my way to hospital with my wife about to give birth. Later that day i was sitting in the labor ward with my wife who was holding my lovely daughter and I looked at her and said, " I just cant believe I saw Beau today!!" Love your stuff mate.

I'm sure there are a number of people who have actually come here to Beau's channel from the actual interview, and to all of you I'd just like to say that it's really worth sticking around to watch what else this man has done. You won't regret it.

Im a 36 year old American male and Beau makes me giggle like a little girl every time I see his videos. Since discovering him for myself a few weeks ago I've gotten my hands on some good second hand tools and just began experimenting... and starting with making some of the things I own better. I can't wait to make more space for my own workshop!

[@randomroughneck1030]

Beau, you are such an inspiring soul. Im an 18 y/old bloke, currently in a gap year, not knowing what to do or choose, kinda lost and just trying a bunch of new and old stuff. But every time i watch any of your videos, be it woodworking, camping, or running, my inspiration and hope get revitalised and i start thinking about the many many MANY things i can do in all this free time that can be fun and healthy for me and the planet, and most importantly can help me grow as a person... I started going our more and even started some running because of you! Thank you for everything mate and good luck on all the future endeavours!

[@recommit]

Good on you mate. If you are having trouble working out your path in life there's a series written by a bloke called Robert Kiyosaki. Start with Rich Dad Poor Dad & progress through his series. Whatever you do, plan on NOT being an employee. Best of luck mate.

[@oscardelucas994]

If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward. Oscar Wilde

[@TimberTramp]

Beau you have literally convinced me to attempt a paddle project! I have no use for a paddle….what am I thinking? Reluctantly excited!

[@spjr99]

hey i am 23 and i had that same vigor for life when i was your age. one thing i will say is it takes dedication to commit yourself to hard things and you can only build that through self affirmation and reaffirming yourself that you are a human being, one of billions previously, who is capable of anything. then make a plan, stay discplined and reap benefts

[@Schnaxel]

Ah mate i dont like sitting around watching people do stuff when i could myself, but for the last couple weeks every evening before going to bed i watch a couple of your films. Its just bloody amazing! I will make a pallet chair aswell from the pallets at work. Inspirational one :)

[@teapyrategraphics]

Because of these videos (the original wombled wood paddle video) I now collect wood from around Amsterdam and make stuff in my free time. The first thing I made was a bench from palettes and and old plank. It sits proudly outside of my house.

Haha I'm also collecting wood in Amsterdam and made a coat hanger! Maybe we can start a wheelbarrow running club 😜

Your videos are amazing Beau! Im a fellow environmentalist from Charleston, South Carolina. I love cleaning up any trash while kayaking in the many rivers and creeks that we have here. Your content is so creative and shares a positive message with each video. Keep doing what you are doing brother

[@JeffreyPillow]

Beau, you're an inspiration bud. I watch you from the U.S. (Virginia). And while I can't make much out of scrap wood (yet), I pick up trash when I run nowadays. It's amazing how much litter I find alongside the lakes, streams, and creeks where I live. To the naked eye, the area is clean. But once you start paying attention more, you see all the styrofoam packing peanuts, vape cartridges, discount papers, beer bottles and cans, etc. that are just waiting for a nice wind to drop 'em off into the water or the woods. Take care.

[@rox8774]

Beau, can I just say, as a high school student, you make me excited for my future. Every single one of your videos I have watched and absolutely loved. Whenever I'm going through a rough time I always end up at your channel- I guess it sits as a reminder for me of all the good that can come out of little and how we can always treat our world and environment with a little more kindness. You are just incredible, thank you.

[@plumbobmillionaire6246]

Great stuff as always. I recently purchased a house and I’m a carpenter so I’ve been filling the garden with leftover wood from jobs. I’m driving the wife mental but when I make stuff from beautiful old reclaimed wood she is happy out. It’s extremely satisfying and something I’ve craved to do for a long time. Cheers from an Irish lad on the Sunshine Coast BC Canada.

You must have access to some excellent wood in that part of the world. British Columbia has always looked beautiful to me, like paradise. Ireland always looks stunning too. You'll have to come visit us Aussies one day - being Irish and Canadian means you'll get double the love here.

Definitely kicking myself for not grabbing more palettes around UTS now hahaha Watching your other videos, I've known how much of a champ you are at running - but far out watching you teleport from darling harbour over to bloody newtown within the day while exploring all over the botanical gardens really puts it in perspective.
