The words and Music of Neil Peart and Rush got me through my childhood and adolescence. It might take to the year 2112 for the world to understand fully just how much talent was given to one man--I just wish I could live long enough to see it.
Here's a tour of The Mother Ship. I ended up selling her at the end of the summer, but I got a few adventures under her belt before I did. Thanks for watching!

Howdy! fellow adventurers. In this episode, Wavey and I get left on the beach when the water level drops overnight. With the help of the ever friendly Mississippi lock masters, we finally float again to see another day. "I never worry, now that is a lie..." ;)

I discovered the "Lost With Mike" blog years ago while researching whether anyone else thinks riding small scooters for long distances is fun...well low and behold there was!
Mike's adventures (more than just scooter trips) are legendary. He decided young to actually live his life while he can, instead of working it all away in hopes of some payoff at the end. He also lives a simple, healthy, low-impact lifestyle, I think proving money is never really the reason holding us back.
Barry was inspired by Mike's tiny house projects, I was inspired by his epic adventures. I hope you all find this one inspiring too.
As always, thanks for watching. --Back Roads Brenton

PS: This video got demonetized due to using copy-writed songs. I probably would have only made a few bucks on it over time, but if you want to donate a few bucks toward the next adventure--would be much appreciated. A gallon or two of gas goes a long way on a Honda Ruckus (and a shanty boat) :)

Hi Everyone, Eventually the oil is going to have to be changed, and it's not as easy as it sounds when your boat is in the water. I THINK I did a decent job showing you how it can be done without paying a lot of money or going through a lot of trouble. We also pick up some trash at a remote (and free) camp spot, where I met a cool fella named Matt, also a future shanty boat builder and captain. We're still friends (a year later) You meet the coolest, like-minded people on adventures.
Thanks for watching :)

Every epic adventure has at least some lost footage--this would be mine. I originally felt there was little value (too long. Too boring, etc.) but recently rediscovered it and decided there might be some value after all.
If you ever wondered what passing through one of the bigger lock and dams on this trip was like from beginning to end, this will answer that question.

Howdy fellow adventurers, just a quick update for those keeping up with the Beagle Barge Beagle Build. Wavey and I have been living on the river bank for the last month--and it's been awesome--but we still have a lot of work to do. I still haven't made some proper doors (I might have to resign myself to some improper ones) I'm also going to swap out the motor with a Yamaha 60 HP High Thrust EFI which will be much better suited for moving a lot of weight around at slow sleeps. Another shanty boater bought the Honda 50 on it now (his is even a barge hull!)
I'm almost done with Ep:2 of The Apostle Islands Beagle Adventure...so please stay tuned.

Howdy fellow fellow adventurers (again)...in this episode, Wavey and I launch into the Ontonagon river again--to see if she's still runs, floats...and fits under our village nemesis...the railroad trestle!
If you're watching this in real time, Wavey and I are taking a few days off from the barge build and heading out on an "Aimlessly Wandering" adventure. There will be videos....we might even catch up with Scooter Tramp Scotty.

Hi everyone, it finally happened. After refurbishing the shanty beagle for two summers in a row, and 2 false starts due to weather--the Adventure began!
Let's do this! Thanks for coming along :)
