The Backyard Adventurer

It is an exceptional story of a guy who does things abroad but still in his backyard, which seem so simple, yet rarely someone does something at equal for themselves or the people around them. I felt inspired already through the films by him alone, and I did and do stuff (tinkering, fixing) around my house already. This book told stories I witnessed through his movies. Many aspects were similar, tho this time the stories seemed to have more of Beau's feelings and impressions than the films showed. I found the stories on how he experienced life in his youth and adulthood, which have not been told interly in the films to be the most interesting ones. His view on living and adventuring, especially after May (his daughter), was born. It is a good, mostly well written, book, and I enjoyed it, I will consider buying a copy to read it myself.
