    A very nice helicopter. Travis Chester is ranching in a big way. 30,000 acres + 12 + 12. I grew up in New Brunswick Canada and worked for a mixed farmer who owned and farmed 200 acres. I worked on a ranch in south west Saskatchewan that had 4,320 acres. That was culture shock for me. Thanks for the great video.

    Travis did a great job of flying. Jason, it is always so fun to be with you on your videos. Such a likable person and a nice sense of humor sometimes too. You did a great job of filming this. It would be very time consuming to herd those cattle on horseback. Thanks for sharing.

    Great video on how to use a helicopter for moving cattle. Surely is a time saver. Did notice that there are a lot of little trees down there that could use a shot of Brush Bullet. Thanks for sharing once again what ranch life is all about.

    Awesome video. It was cool to hear some backstory and get to know this fella a bit. I will say though....it was a punch in the gut for me to get off my butt and chase my dreams instead of making someone else's millions. I'm not sure of his background, but to have what he has at that age is incredible and he must be a go getter. Good for him!

    Loving the videos especially when there is a Helo involved. I heard there is a “Mendota Ranch Giveaway” for licensed helo pilots who haven’t flown in a few years, to be interns (no pay) room and board and help with helo duties. OK… I’ll pay my own room and board. :-) Alright, maybe I thought I read it somewhere but really… So many helo students and current CFI’s want EMS and OIL flying…. I could not think of better flying than working in a ranch…. Lots of open land here in Del Rio, TX but other than EMS and Homeland Security, you don’t see many helos around here.
    Love it and I am certain you do as well.
    Thank you again for sharing !!!

And if you decide to offer some instruction ( seeing as your never busy 😂) let me know. Might come get get a few hours from you.
