The slowest lap of my block, ever
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2024
- May and I head off on a slow, tooled-up, distracted lap of the block- which happens to be a perfect mile. Seated within the wide, book and plum filled bucket of a wheelbarrow, May and I check on the trees from A Mile an Hour, do a few nice things for the neighbours (it’s Christmas!), whack weeds, pick up rubbish, pick up sticks, eat plums and generally have a good time. What you might think to be an episode of Beau teaching May is in fact very much a process of May teaching Beau- looking at the world closely, distracted, with immediacy- which is fast becoming my key ingredients of Backyard adventuring.

My dismay at BLACKBERRIES and WILLOW: lovely fruit, good to look at , but super invasive in Australia and hugely detrimental to our bush, waterways, and general environmental cosmos. Lots and lots and lots of reasons why they're bad for Aus. Oh, and the next couple of films will show you why I particularly dislike invasive species (The commute...). Goodonyas!
Your wardenship of the environment is well-known and trusted.
Yep. Found a blackberry just outside my back fence last night.
You've inspired me to go whack it.
Thanks for explaining! I was going to ask.
I love your outlook on life and I appreciate the great videos you post!
I love it. Having a daughter of my own that’s now 6, I remember all of the rock collecting, hours of staring at chickens, just anything and everything is a special find to them. The hard part has always been letting them explore. I feel the parent inside is split, with wanting to protect and engaging with our child. We often need to remember they will grow up soon enough, so fast, that we don’t need to tell them to stay away from certain things because we might think they are dirty or have no importance. Eventually one day they will think that themselves. But instead we need to encourage adventure whenever we see it, and whenever they see it. And sometimes just go for one, when it’s been a while since we have had one. After my next work trip, it’s just time to go rent an RV, being winter and snow and all, too cold to tent to camp, and just go. No destination in mind, just pick a direction and go. Adventures are what keep us whole, and engaged, too much monotony and it’s like our routines become us.
To this day my daughter still loves collecting rocks. I’m glad I kept my mouth shut, and explored with her. It’s encouraging to see another parent do that as well.
This channel is the very definition of quality over quantity.
this is a fact
But oh how we wish there was more quantity too!
@@PhelaDurosinmi course it is mate
@@chewid_ rarity is what makes something more wishable. The fact that you wait months for these videos means that you enjoy watching them much more. I know it’s sad, tell that to your brain.
@@chewid_ Get excited then, he said in the last video that he has a video per month ready for the next 12 months.
"Maybe that's the biggest thing I can give to May as a parent, is doing things in positivity". Beau, you're a beauty. You're the finest example of the kind of person every young fella should aspire to be, and I can only hope to some day make something that makes someone feel the same way I do when I watch one of your films. Fantastic as always, my friend.
The video you just posted makes you look like a fool 😂
@@Stellar-Cowboy it is quite possibly the worst time to make this comment lol but i'm not talking about the things I make NOW 😂
@@MattColbo i know Matt I’m just messing with ya
@@Stellar-Cowboy hahaha i know sport
didn't expect to find you here!
The 'giant mummy' line made me laugh and is perfect example of what Beau puts across in these videos.
An opportunity for the viewer to take a step back and look at things from a completely different perspective. Thank you Beau for bringing us all along for the journey.
I love seeing video makers I like appreciating the work of other video makers I like. This is nice.
Perfectly put. Love his videos
This is mad, both you and beau are my favourite underrated creators, wish you all the best - love your videos
Damn max fosh and matt colbo commenting on a beau miles vid this is just great😂
Max I didn’t realise you watched this legend?!
"That's like a giant mommy"
You have no idea how unnaturally loud I laughed at that!
Same🤣
I did too!
Same 😂
Same here!
same : )
Honestly I think if everyone lived even a bit like Beau this world would be a better place.
I totally agree.
yeah, if only we all had acres of land in one of the most developed countries on Earth...
@@nkenchington6575 I’m talking about his mindset. Not what he has or owns.
I think if even half the people in the world lived like Beau, we would be so much better off
@@jupiter1789 sorry to hear that. You don’t need an excuse for anything. You didn’t choose to be in that situation. You were put into it and there are people responsible for it (in western countries if we’re honest). They are the ones that should live more like Beau.
Much love and I hope life gets better soon brother
The amount of dad energy this exudes made this so enjoyable to watch. “Is that a blackberry- lets wack that.”
I laughed, "I'm not buying you a horse." Those are famous last words. Best start researching the subject, so you will be up to speed when you buy that horse.
I think at the end when he said he'd buy her a goat after she said horse....I think she then said "sheep". She wants a sheep or perhaps a whole flock of sheep!!!!!!!
For sure, can’t wait for the episode about May’s horse. 😅
She can work at the neighbors horse farm, earn some riding time that way.
He won't buy her a horse, it'll be a pony first ;)
They're rare, but the quality justifies it.
Like LEMMiNO
Yeah I love how much thought and reflection and self awareness each has.
“How you doing with that string, making a knot out of it? Good :)”
SO CUTE
Next episode: Building a stable for May's new horse.😁
Junk Stable LOL
"May's new horse".
Named 'Goat'.
I'm laughing my head off good one! 👍 😃
If all parents were like you, the world would be a better place.
Agreed. So it's our jobs as viewers to inspire to be that person for that better place
When he said, “Here’s the table I made!” I thought he was going to say, “Here’s the table I made you on.”
I wish I could be here in 20 years and see May wheel Beau around in the wheelbarrow! And the line about how well she’s making the knot is precious.
I thought exactly the same and said same as you!
I was thinking the same thing, doesn't help most my time on farms was around country bogans. Hearts of gold but as rough as sandpaper
I thought he was going to say that as well, LOL.
She's so aware for her age! *May* your stories take her miles, *Miles*
Everything else piss off for 10 mins, Beau’s got a new video
Literally
"I look forward to the day when I can sit in the wheelbarrow and you can wheel me around." Don't know why but this made me teary. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with your daughter, with us.
Every other video notification: Me "I'll probably watch that later."
Beau Miles video notification: Me "Yeah, I'm going to watch that right now."
Haha same. Some of the only videos I comment on or look at the comments on as well. Love the viewers here as well
I saw it and said to myself..."gonna keep that one till later when I can focus fully on it...because you know it's going to be really good"...and it was!
Man his daughter is so lucky! I hope when she is 20 or so she will look back and see how much her dad loves her and can appreciate these special moments
They called their daughter May, so Beau can still address her as "mate" and still use the child's name.
200iq
you're an insanely good dad. Massive respect
ive never been more jealous of a baby. you've only been a dad for a short while, but in that time you've given May far more than my dad ever gave me. May is so lucky to have the parents she has.
Me too but your dad gave you life I hope it hasn’t been too bad and is good stay positive. ♥️
@@muttlee9195 he's taught me that if I do the opposite of everything he's ever done, I'll make a great dad.
Spot on
@@muttlee9195 Life isn't necessarily something good to be given. It's a *good* life that should be.
My list of "people I'd like to have a beer with" has grown by one. If we ever cross paths, Beau, the first round's on me mate!
Parents imparting a love of trees onto their child is a thing very near and dear to my heart.
One of my earliest memories was my dad walking with me through the woods and teaching me the difference between a red oak, a black oak, and a pin oak (which is a hybrid of the other two). I was 5.
Now as an adult whenever I see a new tree I immediately try to figure out what it is.
Really thought he was going to say, “and here’s the table we made you on.”
I truly thought that too
Same here 😅
Same!
Nothing like a Beau Miles video to show how beautiful the world really can be... we just need to look at it right!
Nothing's more exciting than the adventures in our backyard, the stories we create ourselves, and the hidden joy in sharing your life so fully with others. Thank you Beau for the amazing content as always.
Well said friend
In "A Mile an Hour" someone commented saying they thought you were going to run at 1mph doing the slowest marathon ever. But this video you actually did the mile in 1 hour. Idk why but I thought that was kinda funny
Paradise... Thank you so much for sharing! This is lovely. 🌱🌸🕊❤️
Better start saving for that horsey 😂 sounds like it’s a lock already
The best teachers aren't preachers. Being able to connect with students makes a good teacher
You may not think you are a much of a preacher however you are a wonderful teacher through these wonderful films. Thanks for the reminder of the importance of sharing the beauty and wonders of or world with our children!
I need the kind of neighbors who are cool with me replacing their mailbox.
I laughed at that too. Anywhere else and it's a ruse to steal your mail
My old neighbor replaced my mailbox for me. It had been smashed before we moved in and we had a short little pole but it was about 1 1/2 feet tall 😂 he replaced it with a normal height post for me. Some days I’d even get up and he would be outside cutting my grass for me.
I reckon Beau’s neighbors are used to oddities at this point. 🤣
@@hordboy haha for sure
I'd rather be the kind of neighbour who is the reason they need to replace their mailbox...
Not my fault cherrybombs are such fun.
What amazes me about these videos is that I always take something away from them. I might not be able to concisely write down what exactly, but they always inspire me to see things from a different perspective and to find joy in the little things.
Beau's uploads are like the ocean: you can live without it but life is so much better with it.
We would all certainly die if there were no oceans
beers a better metaphor
You think you can live without the ocean bro what?
@@mattiashofmann3695 nope, he didn't say no water sources, he said no ocean. People don't drink salt water anyways. Assuming in this fictional world there was fresh water sources such as freshwater lakes, rivers, streams, waterfalls, everything would be fine. Though water would be a bit more scarce and therefore the population of the world would have to be a bit lower. Maybe only a couple billion.
@@karifurai8479 oof, someone didn't pay attention in biology class😂 I mean if we're going there, all life came from the ocean. And ok, say they were to stop existing tomorrow, the reduction in carbon sequestration would make the globe unlivable for humans very quickly.
You're a fantastic father mate, I know chances are slim you'd read this, but, as a dad myself, nothing better you can do than taking them out into our world, and seeing it through their eyes. Beautiful man. Top class.
Being a parent is essentially Trip Sitting for a few years
Lolll
This is unbelievably wholesome
Ahhh, he's back!!
I don't understand how you can watch this or any of Beau's videos and click the dislike button. Real top quality content, with humour that still manages to be profound. One of the best there is
One thing I've learnt from all your videos is exactly what you said "Doing things and positivity". I find this really does equal a fulfilling life. Merge this with "If you're not happy with what you have, you won't be happy with what you get" and you have simple quotes to fix a world of issues.
To think that this channel is avaliable for free and netflix is £10 a month! Absolutely Beau-tyful!
I've had a long string of partially rubbish days and today was the hardest of the bunch, but my mood changed as soon as I saw that this was posted. What a film Beau! A backyard adventure is still an adventure. I love your filmmaking style and your ability to tell the story that is your life with you and your family. This video was incredibly refreshing and provided some much needed perspective for me. Thank you for making these videos Beau.
Presence caused by distraction is what I remember and love best in people. Thank you for showing May your love in that way.
Beau, you're one of my heros and I don't really know ya. Not sure if you're who these videos betray but I'm going to believe you are. The worlds a better place with people like you. Eternally, thx for the inspiration and all the little things that you do that no one ever sees.
I immediately recognized “That’s Not My Penguin” in the wheelbarrow. Excellent lit for the little one.
Dad recognise Dad
Netflix on pause to catch this one... inspiring, quality, unique and innovative episodes. 💪🏃♀️🥳
i also paused my netflix when i saw this video, haha.
Really not sure who could have clicked on the thumbs down icon underneath this video. You've maintained the 100% record on making me cry at the beauty of your stories. You've a special ability to turn the ordinary into something magical, on so many levels. Thanks for sharing this little bit of your world and your journey with your daughter, the land you're living on and the space you occupy. 'Kin on yer.
I like this dude, he’s a good man and friend I may never personally meet. You’re a good man Beau Miles!
Beau teaching may farm things is so sweet
Not to mention his awesome voice overs and editing skills
Big fan of the channel from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 ... May is blessed to have you both. And noticed she is very observant and knows her surroundings well, the drone, the apple...Beau your an inspiration. I hope to do the same for my fam.
Tim from the Home Clan Jam
Only Beau can make a video of taking the baby for a walk interesting. Nice one mate. You have many priceless years ahead of you two. I’m sure you’ll enjoy them all.
Truly the best content on RUclips. It's not even close.
Love this content. Beau lives like how human beings were meant to while still using the right amount of modern technology.
You know it’s a good day when Beau uploads
This is some of the best RUclips I have seen in a long time.
May will grow up to cherish this video and any like it.
Beau inspired me to get back into woodworking during lockdown (in NZ). I started with a paddle and have gone on to make heaps of laminated breadboards, progressing to chess boards and other projects all from recycled junk timber.
Thanks so much Beau, you have opened up a whole new world to me and opened my eyes to what's important.
Such an inspiration Beau. If we all could embrace this example of walking through life with the ones we love. Stopping along the way to help others in need without the need of recognition. So beautiful. Keep up the great work.
Well-said!
Bravo 👏 👏 Beau you truly are an amazing human! There needs to be more people on this earth like you! Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to the next video!
My son was born November last year, can't wait to be able to share more with him once he's a little older! This film was brilliant, as they always are Beau, loved it.
Beautiful film, Beau. As always. Thank you.
THIS IS SUCH GOOD PARENTING AH May is going to feel so blessed when she grows up and realizes what a gift of a father you are
Nice to see a bloke enjoying family life....nice film thanks for sharing
I started with the 26miles in a day and binge watched all the others. It's the highlight of the month when one of your videos drop.
Keep them coming Beau.
I love this doc. I used to explore my backyard and front yard and swingset and woods like they were a whole universe. It was really only an acre and a half. Now I'm still into nature, but it's all big hiking trips. This documentary reminds me of all those small kid things that are so exciting, like finding a pinecone or turning over rocks.
I stumbled across this channel on accident around a year back and it has easily become the one I look most forward to seeing new posts from. Amazing content!
Made me cry. Beautiful Beau. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Your daughter is so precious!! Wonderful video as always!
"Your pocket money in the future might well be determined on your ability to remember numbers on the proviso that your brain's getting sharper as mine is getting slower." 7:18. Lot of good quotes in this video, but this one really speaks to me, especially as an 18 year old with older parents. Seeing a parent notice their own mortality, acknowledge it, and plan for it is both terrifying and extremely comforting, especially with a child so young. That kind of mentality will hopefully influence May her whole life, teaching her to not only enjoy the time she has, but to make plans for the time when time runs out: to find someone to remember her pocket money for her. Beau's a force of positivity, but it's these nuggets of life-encompassing clarity that give his videos an ethereal ring of Truth.
Just discovered your channel in the most stressful time. Have watched everything, the timing is perfect
keep having adventures with your daughter. she will remember that for the rest of her life.
I lost my daughter when she was 15. i will never get over that.
The comment section is always a great read on your videos. Awesome to see so many others stopping by to talk about their appreciation for these videos.
Awww.. she's so cute. She even knows "drone". :)
I'm SO glad I found your channel. It's delightful.
I've got a 2 year old and this video highlights some of the greatest joys of being a father. Adventure on.
I hope someday in 40-50 odd years time I get to see a grown May carting an old but cheerful Beau about the block
"Small things becoming big again." Kids teach us amazing things :) Greetings from Vermont!
Favourite youtuber & favourite dad! Your awsome, Beau🙌
So sweet when she says hellooooo to the cows.
Good Daddy you are.
I love this one too. You might not be a "preacher" but you are a fantastic story-teller. May is fortunate to have a Dad like you. I just happen to be a preacher who also hopes my messages are filled with the same measure of compassion. Thank you, Beau!
Mate your videos manage to wow every time Absolutely fantastic
The moment i saw your notification, i stopped all my work and started to watch . :) Your videos are so genuine.
How anyone can dislike this video is beyond me. I had tears welling up even before the intro was through! Always an amazing story teller, thank you Beau. Also, agree with you on the willows and blackberries! Incredibly invasive and bad for the land generally.
Oh yeah and whacking blueberries a great way to stay fit, but not great to actually get rid of them comlpetely (unfortunately).
Beau, thank you! I loved the film. May is adorable and what you are teaching her is amazing. Feels so right. I am also a maker at heart so thanks for reminding me. Cheers from Wales.
If everyone in the world would be like this the world would be a wonderful playground. Thank You!
Your content is the only content that I turn off 1.25 speed for - It's just good soul content, ya know? Thankful to have discovered your channel through the junk-cabin build and have watched all of it within the past few weeks. You're great!
My father just passed away. I was just like May always working with my dad. May will remember these times forever.
So glad to see you've not been slacking Beau. That's probably the best thing you've ever made. Keep up the good work with May... that was awesome. Cheers. Pete UK
Your videos always feels like I am watching something that will be important in the future. You are such a big inspiration!
The most wholesome content on all of RUclips. Love your work, words and family Beau.
What wonderful values and ideals you are instilling into your young one! In a day and age where many children can't sit still in peace without technology in their face. It just goes to show that wonder and awe in our natural world is there if you allow you kids to experience it!
May is one blessed girl. What a lovely place to grow up in.
“I look forward to the day when I can sit in a wheelbarrow and you can wheel me around.” That’s a video idea in 20 years.
I'd like to check-in with the 3 people that disliked this video, see if they're alright.
Now that’s the very best comment I’ve seen on You Tube 😂
they've been given a goat instead of a horse by their dads
Man, I wish I would be as grateful and happy as you are. I'm 28 and struggling forever to find anything that makes me happy. Tried so many different things, never really enjoyed anything fully. I somehow feel trapped and not knowing what to do with my life. Sometimes I wish I would be like May again. Not being worried about anything, not having to earn money, enjoying nature and...
Everytime i watch Beau Vidjas - The energy , the Doing Lovely property any Aussie wud Love to live on .
Watching May grow , jotin about with dad . These are the Best years a parent will remember as ive done with my Kids .
There is a blackberry Hybrid 🌱 without thorns Avail my Bro grows in Big tubs under a pergola - Take cuttings easier

i just dug a hole filled with grass compost etc then pop a few seeds in month L8tr . Cheers enjoy your life * Doing stuff it happens *.
So interesting. I was thinking "why is he cutting down blackberries?". But then I remembered - Australia.
this is the most wholesome thing i've ever seen. and may is a genius
This bloke just takes something routine or mundane and makes it bloody brilliant!
I live in the country in the USA. I never see a wheelbarrow with a baby inside. What a beautiful share. Thank you!
