      Up north, you make noise as you go and for the most part the grizzlies will melt into the forest: they don't want to have anything to do with us. Then there's bear spray in case you surprise them. I've heard stories about roos and dingoes... it's all what you know. (True, though, I don't want to surprise a bear.)

    trippy, your river spot is about an hour drive from where I grew up and lived the first 16 years of my life. Its really odd to have watched some random youtuber from Australia for a few years just randomly pop up in basically your backyard praising all the things that were totally normal to you growing up. I mean, the house I grew up in had 12- 300+ year old cedar trees all over the yard, I literally grew up with those cedar trees, they hold such a special place in my heart as your Gumtrees do you for. its honestly great to see you get to experience the beautiful nature that I get to call home. In your videos you've shown in amazing detail the wonderful nature that surronds you, and you've really taken your audience along to almost as if they are right there with you experiencing this scenery themselves. In a way it just feels like its gone full circle, that you've shown where and what is special to you, only to end up in the very place that is special to me.

  • @kenwebster5053
    @kenwebster5053 Год назад +4

    When I saw this title, I wondered just how much wood is needed to support a human above the water. A quick google search returned that white pine has a density of 350-500 kg per cubic metre. So that gives me a rule of thumb guide that we need about twice the mass of wood below the water line as we have weight above it. So considering that we need some freeboard to both stay dry & provide stability so that the raft doesn't simply flip over if we should happen to be slightly off centre, I'd say we need at least 3 times as much wood as we weight, if we want to stay dry in calm water. That's a lot of wood! Now I'll sit back and watch what happens with that in mind.
    OK, cedar is at the low end of the above densities, so maybe only twice your weight to keep you dry with a small margin for freeboard.
    Yep, it's not just the fly with a blue arse after that one!

    Seeing Beau in Canada is probably my favourite thing so far this year. I love this country and I'm glad you get to enjoy the beauty of our mountains and rivers. I would really love to see more of you in Canada doing stuff. do yourself a favour and take a drive through the icefield Parkways you will never regret it for the rest of your life. go visit Lake Louise and the (better) sister lake, Lake Moraine. in my opinion one of the most beautiful place on Earth.

    I never thought I'd see Beau do an adventure in my home province. So unlike all the Aussie videos that have such new nature to me, this video felt so natural and familiar, like he filmed it in my backyard (which, in a way he did). Thanks Beau!

    As a Canadian who was jealous of watching Beau pop tops all day during his bean diet, I'm somewhat chortling at his surprise we don't have the same lids the Aussies do
