    IMO, Beau Miles is an absolutely amazing human being, and I highly recommend that you check out some of the other adventure/challenge videos on his channel. One of the most impressive being his Africa by Kayak: 2000km around the southern tip of Africa. It's bloody insane.

      Could not agree more, I always crave a new Beau Miles video. My personal favorite of his was the Human Bean where he ate is body weight in beans over 40 days. The marathon in a day video actually inspired me to build a table. No one else in my life is as excited by Beau so it's great to see him pop up on here!

      I also love the concept of rewilding agricultural land, particularly watershed corridors. It's always amazing to watch Beau in action, and while I know it would take some of the 'just go do it' magic away, I would have loved to see how they planned the plantings. I did appreciate his short explanation with the wet, less wet, dry infographic. Nature naturally tends to have a sensible layout, so while I appreciate the choice of plants it would have been interesting to see how they decided distribution. I cannot wait for the follow up video.

      To all the Tilderinos, if you have land in the US, Agro-ecology is a burgeoning field in traditional agriculture and the USDA is finally starting to put real funding behind it. Feel free to reach out if you want more info about how to unlock those dollars.

      Thanks for the share!

        My personal favorite is his Africa by Kayak video that I already linked to. But his kayaking and walking to work videos are close seconds. They do a fantastic job of illustrating just how much we take cars for granted when commuting, but also how they tend to destroy our appreciation (and treatment) of all the land in between our homes and work.

        p.s. IMO it's great that he is finally doing some smaller, more bite sized adventures now, so he can actually release more than just a few videos a year. I really hope he continues with the trend, since I can't get enough of him and his adventures (no matter how small). :P
