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.

So beau found the most Canadian version of him possible

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'

Beautiful testament to the strange brothership shared between Canadians and Aussies.

Love the contrast between Australian and Canadian accents. Amazing adventure!

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

"I come from a..." "a land down under??" 🤣🤣 Touché

Just two buddies buddy-ing down a river. Love it.

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!

„This is a fantastic failure!“ - yep. I liked watching it a lot. Thank you.

There's no better representation of Beau being an outdoorsman + digital content creator than him building a wooden tripod to mount his GoPro onto

At times you are the happiest man alive Thank you Beau if I ever make it down under I will find you somehow.

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.

Canada loves you too, Beau

No wonder this series was delayed… BEAU WENT INTERNATIONAL!!!

"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 "

This is the Beau we live for.

Thanks Dave, for looking after our mate Beau, and for the maple beanz..🤙🤗🌏

Home sweet home, baby. That’s my backyard river. We welcome you with open arms!!! Fun watch♥️… brave man, that river can rip!

BC is lovely, I recommend stopping by to anyone if you're in to nature.

'I come from.....' Beau - ' from a land down under??' So quick Beau, love it.

"I'm very curious to see if we can avoid injury today." 😂 Always a banger of a video after that sentence.

Down Under meets Up Yonder, love it!

Dave is naturally hilarious 😂

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!

Honestly, I want to be more like Dave. Such positivity, it's admirable

Being Canadian this is my favourite video thus far

As a Minnesotan, this is the closest thing to seeing Beau experience my side of the world. And it's absolutely delightful.

Uuummmm LOVING having a Beau Miles upload on the daily 🙌🏻👏🏻

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

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.

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.

Greetings from Canada! Glad you enjoyed our backyard.

As a Canadian, you found the most CANADIAN-sounding Canadian to go with. That stereotypical accent 👩🏼‍🍳💋

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.

Welcome to the Wack !!! Great to have your energy here 🙏

Love how he talks about hopefully avoiding injury and dude already cut himself on his silky saw

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

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.

Somebody else has probable already pointed this out, I haven’t gone through all the comments, but the best quote ever is “what a fantastic failure”. I needed that.

"These kind of experiences are in essence of being human because they compliment an otherwise complicated existence". Seriously profound statement.

"... this is a fantastic failure... ". Love his attitude!

Dave might be the most Canadian Canadian that exists.

Always fun watching Beau " racing around like a blue ass fly"!

I'm Canadian but Dave sounds *SO* Canadian with the contrast of Beau's accent.

"Warm and fuzzy, like a good Canadian" :D

"My raft was decisive..." "He felt warm and fuzzy like a good Canadian" I love it.... 😂

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.

Dave is a delight! And Beau is an immense inspiration to enjoy life, as always

Anything on youtube that has me watching with a big cheesy grin is fine by me.

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.

Fantastic marriage between an outgoing Aussie and the beautiful Canadian woods and waters. And a great music score underpins it. Wow.

Terrible raft, awesome submarine! Love it!!

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.

More gold! Sickened this series is coming to an end😢

Nice to see Beau in my backyard! And well done Dave for taking him on a local adventure.

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!

this might be the most Canadian man and the most Australian man good combination

Attaboy Dave, make us proud! 😊

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.

Best one of the series

Building a raft is indeed super fun. As a kid I built a raft out of some old barrels. My dad them paid me to haul stone with it to build a barrier to protect the boat house. Got paid by the load but seeing the raft almoust sink was too fun not to stack a giant pile up on top of it.

cool to see an Alpacka Raft in this video. They are made in the town where I live in SW Colorado!

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.

Hope you enjoyed your visit in Canada 🇨🇦
