Can this raft survive a Canadian river? - The 12 Days of Newness | Ep 11

- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2023
- THE WOOD RAFT: I’ve lived in Canada before, but I never went rafting, and I’ve never actually built a raft. This first is right where I want to be; in the outdoors, hunting down wood, building something, completely immersed. Joining me on the river is Dave, a local river guide who turns out to be an immensely likeable dude. This was the coldest, most satisfying, life affirming first thus far.
This is Day 11 of 'The 12 Days of Newness'

the fact that Beau has never built a raft before is probably the most surprising thing in this entire series
No it isn't
@@Charlie1776_ Except it is, he can build beautiful canoe paddles and all sorts of carpentry stuff. But never a craft to use those paddles on.
In Australia there’s not many big rivers like this to raft in mostly just little creeks
@@declan7164 that true, but it's still surprising
Agree!
Friends! What an absolute pleasure to show you my favorite place in the world. Thanks for the perfect little adventure. ❤️
LEGEND!
You seem like a great guy, friendly & calm - thanks for helping create this adventure for us to watch! Kia ora from New Zealand 😊
@@ProfessorLX thanks bro
@@NZKiwi87 thanks! I learned how to be a class A human from my time spent in your beautiful country. Cheers!
Thanks for representing Canada so well man! I'm over in Ontario and you nailed it man, the joyful, kind and adventurous! Good on ya eh!
Dave was violently canadian, even for my canadian ass. Absolute legend.
Great film as always, Beau. I'm happy you took the time to see more of the country I call home.
"A bad raft will still give you a bloody good time" - love that quote, Beau! 😆
Bloody, quite literally…
@@pinebearclub that one was a good saw 😉
I've heard that somewhere else, but the bloke was talking about a bird rather than a raft lol
Buddy has a classic western Canadian accent. From his phrases to his cadence. stoked to hear it on an Australian youtbe channel. I’m sure all the Australian liftys got a little nostalgic hearing it.
Big time on the accent
@PurpleBirch I mostly associate it with northern Ontario. And he confirmed that's where he's from.
What's a lifty?
I couldn't believe he wasn't Scottish when listening to some words!
@@geofflongford2008 Those who work/operate a ski lift. A fair number of Aussies make their way to Canada (Whistler!) for a season (or ten) of working at a ski resort (being a lifty) and snowboarding. Good times.
So beau found the most Canadian version of him possible
Beautiful testament to the strange brothership shared between Canadians and Aussies.
Yeah what's up with that
@@y__h colonies.
Children of the British, pretty sure UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia have a partnership called CANZUK
United in our mutual disdain for Americans 😂
@@Joe-uv9jo Nah that's something the British are inventing because they now realize their old penal colonies are better than the motherland.
Whenever I'm nervous in a new place I'm gonna tell myself 'I reckon this new place and I are gonna have a very good day'
I'm German and did my high school exchange in Chilliwack, BC about thirteen years ago, so my heart melted when I saw that my favorite youtuber is making a video on Chilliwack River ❤️ What a place
I grew up 20 minutes from here and have rafted this river in some sketchy crafts myself!!
Chilliwack BC 🔥☣️
Really one of the cities of all time!
I have watched all the surveillance videos here on YT of the people suicide crashing with their bikes, driving their cars backwards down the street, pissing out of the car door straight on the street and all that crazy stuff. One day I would like to see this beautiful place and it's magnificent specimens myself.🇨🇦🇩🇪
So glad our home provided you fond memories!
@@christopherstein2024 The only place I've ever had gas stolen out of my car. The scenery is spectacular though.
@@BK11 Fucken Cory n' Trevor.
These two have to be the most Canadian and Australian sounding men to ever exist, both in the same place. Absolutely miraculous.
I like to believe that Dave is the mascot for Canada.
Love the contrast between Australian and Canadian accents.
Amazing adventure!
This channel is trying its absolute best to show that story telling is still the pinnacle of good content. Thank you, Beau. Your work is refreshing as it is inspiring.
Any other Chilliwack locals here gutted they didn't know Beau was in our backyard?!🥲 Great video as always Beau! Always inspiring whilst sharing your life with us. Thank you!
packraft through there myself! so cool to see him in our backyard
i live in the okanagan and i feel gutted
I'm originally from Chilliwack and couldn't believe when I seen the river.
1:27 I love how you're in the middle of the wilderness, at a random place, at a random time, film a random B-roll, and still manage to get a bird centered that shits mid flight. That's Beau Miles for yall & that's why i bought the book!
"I come from a..." "a land down under??" 🤣🤣 Touché
Thanks Dave, for looking after our mate Beau, and for the maple beanz..🤙🤗🌏
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!
1:51 beau calling a bluebottle a "blue-arse fly" might be the most Aussie thing I've ever heard and I'm absolutely here for it
BC is lovely, I recommend stopping by to anyone if you're in to nature.
Honestly, I want to be more like Dave. Such positivity, it's admirable
There's no better representation of Beau being an outdoorsman + digital content creator than him building a wooden tripod to mount his GoPro onto
This is my favourite series on YT right now... Inspiring me to just go out and do things that I like instead of planning them forever.
Canada just looks so beautiful. It's great that we have cousins on the other side of the world who are just as cool as us. I'd be terrified of bears up there though. Our kangaroos look tough but they're friendly guys. Thanks to the Canadian for taking you on the adventure. I hope he knows he has a lot of mates in Australia full of respect for him now.
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.)
It's mostly harmless black bears that just want to eat kelp or berries and be left alone.
To be fair, there are petting zoos with kangaroos and dingoes, including mothers with joeys. You don’t see petting zoos with bears, and definitely not mumma bear and cubs.
Watching a mother bear trying to corral her cubs is one of the best things you'll ever see. Watching them raid your bird feeder is pretty good too. But as far as fear factor, a bull moose is pretty scary.
The bears out there in BC are super friendly. They just want to give hugs.
Dave is naturally hilarious 😂
"I'm very curious to see if we can avoid injury today." 😂 Always a banger of a video after that sentence.
No wonder this series was delayed… BEAU WENT INTERNATIONAL!!!
Dave is a delight!
And Beau is an immense inspiration to enjoy life, as always
Just two buddies buddy-ing down a river. Love it.
Down Under meets Up Yonder, love it!
Strange to see my childhood river on this channel. This whole video makes me feel as if I am home, the sounds and mountains, riverbeds and forest floors. What a wonderful supprise for a friday.
7:30 - "If you can go this way, you'll be happy."
*Beau just floats the other way*
Love it :D
As a Minnesotan, this is the closest thing to seeing Beau experience my side of the world. And it's absolutely delightful.
„This is a fantastic failure!“ - yep. I liked watching it a lot. Thank you.
At times you are the happiest man alive
Thank you Beau if I ever make it down under I will find you somehow.
Canada loves you too, Beau
Awesome work!! My son just came out and said "That man came and talked to us at our school" You're a bloody legend mate.
Fantastic marriage between an outgoing Aussie and the beautiful Canadian woods and waters. And a great music score underpins it. Wow.
well Dave's a legend
Working on it
"I'm very curious to see if we can avoid injury today :) " is a deeply ominous line lol .....and then the very next scene is "ah yeah, I'm already bleeding! :D :D :D "
YOU'RE IN MY BACKYARD!!
And you found the Most Canadian Canadian. ❤ Love it
Only channel on the platform where every video will both make me laugh and move me to the verge of tears.
Also, Dave is as Canadian as they come haha.
Terrible raft, awesome submarine! Love it!!
Greetings from Canada! Glad you enjoyed our backyard.
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
Home sweet home, baby. That’s my backyard river. We welcome you with open arms!!! Fun watch♥️… brave man, that river can rip!
'I come from.....'
Beau - ' from a land down under??'
So quick Beau, love it.
I'm from the northern bushes of Ontario just before it turns Quebec. I have to say Dave is one of the most Canadian men I've ever witness on film, or in person.
This is too cool! As soon as I saw the intro I knew the river. My mother was raised on the Chilliwack River's banks and I grew up and live very near the Vedder Canal (Which is the lower portion of the Chilliwack River.)
Love your films Beau!
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.
This is the Beau we live for.
a bad raft will still give you a bloody good time is like when a fisherman says a bad day's fishing beats a good days work.
I'm Canadian but Dave sounds *SO* Canadian with the contrast of Beau's accent.
Being Canadian this is my favourite video thus far
"Warm and fuzzy, like a good Canadian" :D
Too short, Beau. Too bloody short by a mile. I was right there with you for the whole river trip, grinning like a fool the whole time. This was truly a great video.
"My raft was decisive..."
"He felt warm and fuzzy like a good Canadian"
I love it.... 😂
Uuummmm LOVING having a Beau Miles upload on the daily 🙌🏻👏🏻
Nice to see Beau in my backyard! And well done Dave for taking him on a local adventure.
Ahh man this is bringing back memories! I lived in Canada for a year, as an Aussie who grew up on acreage, I really found myself in that beautiful country. I would go for big runs along the river systems and man they were crystal clear and so bloody powerful. I miss my second home everyday,
Beau, this series is incredible mate! Top notch content 👌
Love all this regular content Beau! Thanks so much, i'm going on my first solo kayaking expedition this summer down a river in rural wales. Thanks for the inspiration and videos
Which river?
Yeah which river? I live at the top of the wye is great at the moment but in summer gets pretty low.
How long will it take you?
@@simongumn3154 That's good to know, i was thinking of doing the river wye, i hadn't seen that written anywhere.
@@kierandaniels9374 two or three days hopefully
Beau trying beans with maple syrup makes me so happy 🇨🇦
Canadians, some of the best people on the planet
More gold! Sickened this series is coming to an end😢
Would love to see you do more videos in the Canadian Wilderness!
Welcome to the Wack !!! Great to have your energy here 🙏
Best day of 12 yet! A study in adventure and the social. In terms of positive, practical and extremly likeable, Beau has found his match!
An Aussie and a Canadian is a great mix
cool to see an Alpacka Raft in this video. They are made in the town where I live in SW Colorado!
cool to see somewhere i live in shown in this video out of all channels
"These kind of experiences are in essence of being human because they compliment an otherwise complicated existence". Seriously profound statement.
Always fun watching Beau " racing around like a blue ass fly"!
I'm a Canadian myself Beau, had to laugh at your enjoyment of the Maple beans. after watching your video ages ago on eating your body weight in beans those are exactly what I ate next, Maple Beans! I also went and picked up litter in the neighborhood yesterday thanks to your video on picking up everything on the way to the tip, your a fantastic spirit and an excellent motivator by way of thrill and inclusion on the simplest tasks that would most likely go undone, Cheers from Calgary!
Love how he talks about hopefully avoiding injury and dude already cut himself on his silky saw
who else would love to see Beau on Alone Australia
As a Canadian, you found the most CANADIAN-sounding Canadian to go with. That stereotypical accent 👩🏼🍳💋
"... this is a fantastic failure... ". Love his attitude!
Man there's so much I love about this film! BC's nature, whitewater rafting, two lads who just met having a good time, and of course your storytelling and filmmaking. I used t work as a guide myself a few years back in Austria. Dave seems like a cool dude!
I love that you came to visit Canada!
Wow, I mean absolutly wow. I've just found you as a Canadian you have really inspired me to go out there and do whatever i want and to stop worrying about things and just live life the way it waas supposed to be man.
I grew up not far from the chilliwack river so it was amazing seeing Beau tear down it on a bundle of sticks! Reminds me of being a kid again.
It’d be sweet learning about when/why you lived in Canada too!
I have ALWAYS lived in Canada (and for a time in Chilliwack) but have not built a raft. Challenge accepted. Thanks for the inspiration to do new things Beau. ❤
This was the best one! Laughed so much and you both gave us so much positive energy. And not to forget this beautiful canadian nature! Thank You☀️
Amazing scenery. Canada looks fantastic.
Welcome to the Pacific Northwest, happy to have you, enjoy! I hope you’ve allowed yourself a good amount of time to experience the area.
I’ve been watching Beau for a while now, but I subbed today. The content is always great but the best thing is I can’t think of a single time I watched him and he tried to sell/schill something to me. Gonna go through all my subs and use this as the new metric for whether I stay subbed. When a content creator is this good and upstanding, it makes it impossible not to judge the others.
this might be the most Canadian man and the most Australian man good combination
Best one of the series
Welcome to Canada Beau!
What, I've been watching these on and off, and there you are in Canada. Welcome to my country Beau, though I'm watching this year past. And as Canadian I can assert with no particular authority, that good rafts are hard, and yours wasn't bad. Hope you come back do another visit soon.
Anything on youtube that has me watching with a big cheesy grin is fine by me.
The canadian accent is adorable, love it.
Hope you enjoyed your visit in Canada 🇨🇦
Love to see you goofin' around in my home... beautiful BC. Excellent video as always!
We Canadians and Aussies just get each other, eh?! Nice one ya wild beauties.
I had a ball watching this, thanks.
Good one, Beau! Baked beans by the river, a "fantastic failure" of a raft that still gives you a "bloody good time", Dave's positivity. Love all of it! Makes me want to get back into the outdoors
You've got yourself a very Canadian sounding Canadian to guide you! Excellent stuff.
When I was a kid, we used to build rafts from bamboo to play on in the rice fields when it was filled with water. Loads of fun!!
Beau is such a joy!
