FLY CAMPING :: MONTANA

  • Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
  • The long awaited road trip to Montana to fly around the beautiful mountains, a test of my skills on how to get out of my paramotor underwater, and an adventurous episode of fly camping.
    I fly on a Scout paramotor:
    www.scoutparam...
    You can learn to fly with Team Fly Halo:
    flyhalo.com
    And special thanks to the Fly Halo guys for letting me demo a water landing. And to John Stephens for his mad skills in music. To Matt for camping with me. And to Steve and Charity for the airdrop sustenance and all the breakfasts.

    As for water landings, why not have flotation?

    • @ryansouthwell
      @ryansouthwell  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks!! It's ok to have them (PFD) but not to rely on them. I've seen many not inflate, or at least inflate in a way that inhibits you from escaping. Best policy is know your way out without a panic. Anything else you got is a bonus.

    So awesome! loved the bird you caught on camera out flying with you. Was hoping for a little footloose montage after you channeled Kevin Bacon in your sexy movie trailer voice. Was the thing on your head part of the follow cam? The injured, helicopter footage got my interest real fast.

    • @ryansouthwell
      @ryansouthwell  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks. That was a bald eagle I believe and he never knew it was following him. I'm glad someone got the Footloose reference. I guess that's my idea of funny. That thing on my head is my follow cam. Made by PPG Smoke. So on the last day, my friend stepped in a hole while running on his takeoff and broke his femur. We felt bad for him but he's a stud and pulls through it like a champ

    Dude, I hope someday i can make stuff like that. I do fly for about 6 years, but I wish I could fly more often, and I'd really like to start paracamping, but still a bit afraid of landing and taking of by myself in the midle of nowere. But sure I will start practising more. Your videos are so good and you have such a good vibe. Thanks a lot for that.

    • @ryansouthwell

      Never had a problem. Seems like that carbon fiber would float a lot better than aluminum. But regardless, if you hit the water and don't know how to manage yourself, then you lose. That's why we practice.

      @@ryansouthwell Actually the Flat Top has some welded sealed tubes full of air but I was referring to the quick release harness. One could be out of FT in a fraction of a second. Moving water is even more critical and would be best to jump right before hitting the water to avoid getting wrapped or tangled in your lines and wing....Nice channel, photography and editing btw👍
