I went on TV and gave away junk

Рік тому

JUNK GIFTS: I was asked to come in and talk on breaky TV about Backyard Adventuring. I said sure, but why don’t I have a Backyard Adventure instead? I’ll run around Sydney with my wheelbarrow and collect up junk wood, make stuff, and present it to the TV presenters on air the following morning, 24 hours later. So that’s what I did.

Beau! Early that morning i was on my way to hospital with my wife, she was ready to pop and about to give birth, I was sitting in the car ponding on life and all the things ahead and I notice a guy running up King Street with a wheelbarrow. I had only recently watched all your films and I thought, that has to be Beau! Sure enough it was, thats me yelling from the car at the 14 minute mark, on my way to hospital with my wife about to give birth. Later that day i was sitting in the labor ward with my wife who was holding my lovely daughter and I looked at her and said, " I just cant believe I saw Beau today!!" Love your stuff mate.

But every time i watch any of your videos, be it woodworking, camping, or running, my inspiration and hope get revitalised and i start thinking about the many many MANY things i can do in all this free time that can be fun and healthy for me and the planet, and most importantly can help me grow as a person... I started going our more and even started some running because of you! Thank you for everything mate and good luck on all the future endeavours!

If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment.

Beau, you're an inspiration bud. I watch you from the U.S. (Virginia). And while I can't make much out of scrap wood (yet), I pick up trash when I run nowadays. It's amazing how much litter I find alongside the lakes, streams, and creeks where I live. To the naked eye, the area is clean. But once you start paying attention more, you see all the styrofoam packing peanuts, vape cartridges, discount papers, beer bottles and cans, etc. that are just waiting for a nice wind to drop 'em off into the water or the woods. Take care.
