Running a half marathon with a rock and a wheelbarrow

- Run the Rock: My mate Pete rolled his ankle badly when we were running one morning. He limped back to the carpark and I kept going. As I continued to run I thought, ‘I’m gonna get my crowbar and wheelbarrow, dig that big-arse rock out of the trail and run it to Pete’s house’. So that’s what I did.

"There's a good chance that's Beau Miles'" Brilliant, lol.
That's a good friend. He recognizes that only Beau is weird enough to do that.
Made Mr giggle
Lmaoo who else, floored me
I laughed so hard at that.
Oh that was great 😂
Great little backyard adventure mate. Once again you make the simplest of jaunts feel wonderful and exciting. I’ll be buying your book!
The geowizard has great taste!
unlikely duo
Always fun when my favourite RUclipsrs watch my other favourite RUclipsrs!
Straight line with a wheelbarrow across the Black Country 🤔
Running across Australia in a strait line when?!?
"There's a good chance that that's Beau Miles." I'd say when people quantify unusual scenarios by assuming you're involvement, you're winning. Laughed out loud at that bit.
Me too
"When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you're winning" - that seems to encapsulate so much of what your videos are about and it's what keeps bringing me back every time you upload. Also, there's the fact that you can somehow make a bloody good story out of digging a rock out the ground...there's not too many people on RUclips who possess such a talent (nor the motivation or imagination to do so). Good on ya Beau!
love this
Absolutely brilliant that line.
I feel this way running in my neighborhood after being on vacation. Often thinking, if I was still on vacation I would have taken a photo of that sight! It is a great experience to view the familiar in a new light.
@@ArthurDentDK yep! So often I catch myself taking the place I live for granted. It's always nice to get out of that box and see things from a new perspecitve
What Josh said!
Thanks to everyone who voted for The Backyard Adventurer in Booktopias Favourite Australian Book Award.
Very cool notes about this production: Mitch and I produced this film in 4 days from start to finish/shoot to upload (Mitch still refuses to drink coffee- he’s very pure, which is actually pretty hard arse). This is our quickest turnaround by far, way quicker than even the haircut film (which was really just a 45min shoot!). Big insights: no reshoots/shoot to edit/do multiple takes while filming/running; get your focus right (Mitch killed it, I just push ‘on’); trust the story; have fun; get good help (Mitch's partner Kelly and sister Sherb on socials and photos) and shack up to an understanding/hardworking wife or girlfriend so that you and your mate can lock yourselves in an old garden shed for a few days. Lastly, we split the film into parts to split up the storytelling/edit to keep ourselves from drifting. In all, it was a bloody excellent, but not quite sustainable form of filmmaking.
Perfect timing! Cbeers mate, love ya!
I think you are a genius. Cheers from Oregon
Just finished listening to the 2 podcast episodes 1.5 minutes ago! Great Podcast, can't wait for more! Great film too! Also, I voted twice for the book, not sure if that was allowed, but I did it. Cheers!
Beau, my favourite benign feral youtuber, bless!!
Voted. 👏👏👍👍
“Hey, there’s a bloke goin along the side of the road with a wheelbarrow!”
“Oh yeah? What’s he doin?”
“I dunno. I think he’s carrying a rock.”
“Oh yeah, that makes sense.” 😂🤣
"I heard the rock hurt his friend, and he's claimed it in some kind of warriors honour thing"
"I heard the rock is a monument, a testament to their ever growing friendship built on the foundations of healthy rivalry and a shared persuit"
"I heard the rock is their illegitimate love child."
Two things occur to me:
1) I’ll happily watch anything narrated by Beau
2) no one says “bastard” like an Aussie
The Irish run them close 😀
There is a certain feeling you get after watching a Beau Miles film that is a bit undescribable. You just know that the world will be ok.
2 Beau Miles videos in one month? Has he gone mad? Thank you for the presents Beau!
Was a stretch, but we got there!
"I've always thought I'd want to be a golf ball hunter if I could be anything, but maybe I want to be a rock extractor"
What a legend
you are an absolute gift to the world sir. you keep adventuring, we’ll keep being inspired!
Beau Miles, the only RUclipsr that can get me to watch a 10 minute video about a rock, and be entertained the whole way through. Thank you sir. Bravo 👏
I saw this comment, my next recommended video was Tom Scott talking about rocks for 3 minutes.... It's not 10, but if he had 10 minutes of rock content I'd probably watch that too haha
I absolutely love this channel! Mate your videos are absolute piece of art! Well done! Good on you mate! Keep going!
I'd never imagine to find Captain Joe here....a good surprise!
Often when I'm out in the sticks, I find myself thinking "why didn't I bring a bag for rubbish?" Now I'm going to have to escalate that to a wheelbarrow.
"There's a good chance this is Beau Miles" haha
i really love the kid going "that's a nice rock"
I’ve never been this emotionally invested in a rock before 😂😂
This is bloody fantastic. It’s like a comedy skit crossed with a motivational workout demonstration. 😂 I love it
Whoa whoa whoa. Are you two having another?
Yep!
@@BeauMiles Congrats!
@@BeauMiles Congratulations Beau!!
My favorite part of this whole video is how well he filled in the hole🤣🤣🤣, good on ya Beau!
the thing i love about the random stuff Beau does, is that they create value for the community around him, large or small, whether its planting trees, or just travelling from one place to another, this is a man who leaves a trail of positivity in his wake, keep it up mate.
As someone who rolls a ankle once every 6 months i appreciate your service mate 👍
You're doing life right when something like this happens and someone goes "there's a good chance that's Beau Miles."
Mate, i am Nicaraguan, living in Germany and for some reason i've found one of your videos, by now i've seen them all and just started reading your book, i still struggle understanding some words ( my mother language is spanish) but i find absolutely interesting how you can turn the simplest task into something exciting, congrats on your book and your channel!!
I'm pretty sure that everybody in his district isn't surprised anymore. They go out for a nice Sunday drive and see Beau just casually running with a wheelbarrow and it´s just a normal Sunday in the neighborhood. no-one bats an eye anymore. I love it! Great video as usual bud!
"I was gonna name it Rocky or Sharon" I actually laughed out loud.
This is a massively underrated channel. Fully deserves more subscribers and viewers. Well done Beau, keep the films coming :)
Most people in the world would be thinking "...its a rock". But for most of us watching, that rock was just a solid piece of entertainment for 10 minutes! I love the obscurity and mystery that Beau always finds amongst the most common, everyday things. Keep it up bud!
The last lines are the best ... "look dad there's a surveillance camera"
6:33 that quote sums up why I love this channel so much. "doing things some of us think but not many of us do"
“When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you’re winning” one of the best things I’ve ever heard
Beau you will be happy to know I edited your Wikipedia page to state you are the "fittest wheelbarrow pusher in your district." Keep it up man! Absolutely love your content!
Too many people don't even use their blinker while driving... Beau does it whilst pushing a wheelbarrow. Goodonyas!
A Golf Ball Hunter sounds like a dream job. I didn't know it existed. In Florida, you could be the Dundee of Golf Balls.
It is indeed, or used to be. My old man used to 'fox' golf balls on the course near his house where he grew up, would sell them back to the club or directly to players. If he didn't like a person who asked him if he'd seen their ball he'd pretend he didn't have it in his pocket...
Great story. Dad, there’s a rock! Absolutely love this.
“When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you’re winning.” What a line.
So I’m right at 4:00 in, I think this rock is gonna be waaaaay more work than Beau is expecting. On the farm we had a small rock in the orchard, and one day when our friends were out with their landscaping setup to help pipe and fill a ditch we decided to get the bobcat over to see about getting this pesky rock out of the orchard. We came back the next day with a crane, and a dump truck of soil.
Edit: I’m pleasantly surprised for Beau lol, never really know how these things will go
I dare anyone to watch this and not have a smile on your face the entire time. Well done mate!
I was saddened that he took the rock in the first place whose cares about his stupid friend should have been watching where he was going. I'm taking Beau to court to sue him. because he did this on Aboriginal sacred ground.
@@peterlyall6789 That sacred ground just spread a bit further, that should make you happy, not sad.
Beau- Love that you keep playing around.
Cheers,
Steve
Back in my landscaping days, running wheelbarrows full of soil, gravel, or rocks from the street to different backyards was always one of the best parts of the day. Always a good bit of competition in whos was the fastest too.
haha then ol mate fucking asses over and has a sulk because gotta clean it up
We did it with Sod. If you hit too many bumps the front of the wheelbarrow would collapse and start rubbing on the wheels. Never stopped us from trying to beat the other guy.
Beau you crack me up with your monologue 🤣
Your lovely wife is the coolest for not minding your odd adventuring!
I love the way beau treats life with the enthusiasm of a five year old wearing a batman Cape and ya just know ya gonna have a smile on ya face when the video finishes..👍👍👍
‘When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you’re winning!’ - Beau Miles
I cannot put into words how much I love these films. Everything Beau says, and does are a complete reflection of someone, who I believe, is living the right life. Carefree, sense of humor, sees the interest and joy in anything that he does. The audience that Beau captivates is also a special group. I try to show these films to people all the time, and sometimes they don't quite stick as much with my mates as they do with me. Keep making films Beau
"When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic you're winning" WOW
oh, the happiness! The happiness I got from this. Thanks Beau😁
And how lush does Helen look 😍 Congratulations!!!!
I genuinely feel like watching Beau’s videos has made me a better person. Thanks Beau!
I really love all your videos Beau. They are honest entertainment and I respect that. No algorithm BS. No smash that like button. Good stuff, Mate!
But I "smashed" (lightly clicked on) the "like" button all the same :)
Guy has so much passion even for a rock,dude Even cleaned it before walking away
8:00 "Oh yeah, that makes sense". Non-Australians please take note, this is the most Australian way for that conversation to pan out.
Calling the rock “Sharon” 😂 amazing! Cheers Beau, another good one, just bought the book too so looking forward to having a good old read, all the best from Norfolk, UK 🇬🇧
For shizzle.
Beau you have reached a new level of awesome.
Rock and run. Or rather, run, rock, knock and run.
Beau: "... like Rocky or Sharon"
Me: "Sharon? Like Sharon Sto- GET OUTTA HERE BEAU"
Good on ya mate.
A physical life is a good one, I tell ya. Gee, I bloody love it." Lets get that printed on a shirt. 😆
Merch! Not sure. I like the idea but gee we all have a lotta t shirts. I'll see if Patagonia bite
“Let’s get this ankle-busting b@st@rd into town!” - it doesn’t get much more Aussie than that. Goodonya, Beau!
If this was any other youtuber I would think they are doing this just for the video, but with Beau it feels like he does stuff like this all the time off camera
That rock went for the ride of it's life
Your videos have been a huge motivation for me after I broke my leg getting back into doing things was tough, after I saw the Commute I've gotten back into running, climbing, and cycling. All this to say, thanks mate.
What a Mate! I laughed when the iceberg turned into a chip! But still impressed that you ran it into town! Good On Ya! BUT what about the BIG story - Baby # 2 ?!?!?! Twice the Fun!!!
I love how this guy gets a rock on his door step and first words are, 'this could be Beau Miles' . LOL!
I'm really loving the toned down and simple backyard adventures
Congrats to you both on the second kid!! :D
Aussie humour in it's finest form... I fooking loved it.
“Hello fellow recreator” is my new favorite quote
I just love your story telling... simple rock and sprained ankle and you made brilliant story out of it. thank you that was great story! I like to see your friend's response to the rock.
I always feel like I've travelled to a far-flung land, experiencing the most exotic of adventures when watching these videos. Thanks for the Vic based experiences Beau.
Beau Miles has something that Casey Niestat will never have, a bloody great Aussie accent. Story telling on another level, kudos Beau and team.
“There’s the moon!” Classic Beau Miles.
I live for your quirky tales, and I think it’s safe for me speak on behalf of everybody here on RUclips, please do not stop creating your odd inexorable style of beautiful content sir 😂🙏🏽
You’re a friggin legend Beau, my absolute favourite videos to watch.. don’t stop
This feels like living out some sort of next level inside Dad joke
Golf ball hunting is so fun. I go with my friends all the time in the summer. Walking through creeks, bushes, down trees. Love it.
Good on ya Beau. Started running cause of you mate. Love from Adelaide.
Cheeky little secret video with a cheeky little secret mission! Love it man, inspires me to do my own little weird missions!
Video #150 where I comment twice, but "I genuinely love doing things that many of us think but few of us do". You hit it right on the head, I love it.
watching this at my desk with my friend sitting on the couch behind me, we both appreciated that the name "Sharon" was an option as a name for the rock. keep creating, Beau
Amazing Beau! That’s exactly what I was thinking when you first told the story. Dig it out and give it to the guy.
This is hands down my favourite video of yours, it’s great how you can take something so simple and make a great story and video out of it.
Well done 👏
Brucey you absolute legend. Beau youre good too mate, real good..
I am actually crying watching a guy running with a wheelbarrow. This is so inspiring.
"That’s quite pleasant" love it. Love your book.
Love it Beau! These little stories you keep telling are fantastic. Keep up the great work!
Your ALL-IN, attitude and lighthearted style, are pure pleasure!. Thanks! I smile the whole time I’m watching!
When somewhere familiar to you feels exotic, you winning.
Love your films mate!
Mafia style. Bringing the body of the culprit to the victims doorstep. Respectable.
🤣 You're right! That was what I was thinking but couldn't articulate.
The sweat off the shirt was next level
‘Lets get this sucker into town’ 🤣
Im first mate! (Or so i thought darn it 🤪) Hey is this some kind of trickery? You just uploaded 9 days ago and now you have another video? What sorcery is this? 🤪
This rock is almost like a gangland warning hahaha the runner's equivalent to a mafioso's thoughtfully gifted horsehead. Once a running nemesis, always a running nemesis 🤷♀
"Good chance that that's Beau Miles." What a line!
when i was driving though Donagal, Southern Ireland, many years ago i struck a large lump of granite , so lifted it inbto the car and brought it all the way back to London . after nearly 45 years i still it ,and take it with me whenever i move house , special rock indeed .!
'For shizzle.' Thanks again for the lovely storytelling, Beau! Cheers from Pennsylvania.
Beau Miles.......the fittest wheelbarrow pusher in his district 🤣🤣.
Familiar to exotic. Backyard adventures. Way to go! For example... I have a small boat. One spring, the circumstances came together in such a way, that I decided to get it from the yard (where it was for the winter) to the river in a different way. (Sure, I could get a trailer, a car etc., but that has already been done. And it was not really such a long way to make it feel inevitable). So, I took two old bicycles, two more spare wheels, a few beams of wood, some ropes... put all together, the boat got wheels and we were able to tow and push it along. With the help of some friends, all the excited children from the wider family, a few dogs running around... we "walked" the boat to the river. Slowly, but without any terrible effort. (Well yes, the river is fortunatelly in the valley... mostly downhill). :) Unforgettable experience! Perhaps not only for everybody involved; maybe also for all the random people we met along the way - runners, people walking their dogs etc., who - quite possibly once in their lives - unexpectedly met a small boat on a forest path along the brook leading to the river... :)
Hey Mate is there a New Family member on the way.... congratiulations. And again another banger Video. Greetings from Germany
"There's a good chance that that's Beau Miles" 😂 brilliant!
the 100% fact he NAILED you on the FIRST GUESS was EPIC!!!!!!!! hahahaha.... it had me crying
5:33 Guess you could call that… Rock N’ Roll
This channel is the hardest to find and THEN stop binge watching, change my mind. Top quality 👍
