Sorry the film quality not being the greatest, that was just a long day trying to weather out those storms. I tried to document it as best as i could! Today is sunny! So the EPIC VLOGS will return!!
Glad you guys were safe after our storms yesterday. It's already a better morning!
I'm glad you guys coped with the shower storms and got to a hotel room for a good sleep. Good news is weather will be nice this week as forecasted a few days back!
Haha nice editing at the very last before your dad emptied his bladder lol
Loved you're vid as it brought back, yes, fond memories. The storms r bad but make for a good story. I woke up Saturday morning (after Friday nights downpour) hearing "babbling brook" noise outside my tent. Unzipped the door, just 6 feet away was a babbling brook! (I should upload the vids). After "Tram Drivers" orientation we were told the afternoon trams were cancelled because of those two approaching storms. The first storm beat me back to camp so I rode it out at the Theater in the Woods. Snagged a gig driving carts between storms (needed something to do) and the second storm looked much worse as it approached than the earlier storm. Took two days for things to dry up then great wx the rest of the week! The weather makes AirVenture and flying much more interesting! Been going to Oshkosh since '74. I just discovered your channel and pleased to find a great youtuber from Skypark. I'm based at 1G3. Sorry to see ya escaping to Miami. Was a super place in the sixties, not sure about now! (much more money down there which means great flying opportunities) Best of luck! Must b having too much fun to make vids LOL
I watched earlier but I came back to say..KID? you are one of the luckiest young men alive..I mean at the SUPERBOWL/WORLD SERIES of air shows and you get to fly and be a pilot WITH YOUR DAD! I hope you always appreciate that.
Having spent years car camping may I recommend when you decide to replace your tent that you go with the Eureka 6 person Copper Canyon. Learn how to guy it down properly and give it a couple of coats of Nikwax Waterproofing and you will stay dry through most thunderstorms. I have gone through 40mph winds plus gust to 60 in mine and stayed dry.
Last year we had the same problem with a similar one room four corner external support tent. This year we purchased a new REI “storm proof” tent which worked great.
Thank you for the video. We arrived on Friday and had to endure all three storms. We evacuated to the museum. Fortunately, the weather cleared and was a great week. Be well!
Thanks for posting.
Crazy stuff. Glad you guys made it through all that. Good news is the weather this week looks fabulous.
Thanks for taking time to make these for those of us who can’t be there. It’s really appreciated.
I got there Sunday afternoon and was so busy that i could not watch your uploads till now. Glad you got a room. I was following you on FB and really got worried when i saw the tent was down. I usually get my room the Friday and Saturday before the show. Glad you survived and hope the gear did too. I brought the New Expedition rather than the Hummer, wish we could have come and picked you up if we had arrived earlier. You will remember this one most of all!
You guys rock. I would love to be there having fun. I hope the weather clears up for you all.
What I got out of all of that is that it rained.
I’m not camping in Oshkosh but I live about 10 miles north of Oshkosh. Throughout Friday and Saturday I tried to keep all the campers in my prayers. I’m glad everyone is ok!!!
I'm not at OSH, but was watching on the live stream. It looked bad and your experience bears that out. Glad you're safe - hope you get sunny, dry weather the rest of the week.
Dads gonna have a few pops lol
If you explain how in the wide world of sports you got a hotel room I'll subscribe
Midwest weather is so fascinating to me. We just don’t get weather like that out in CA. Hang in there!!
As a decades-long resident of 'Sconsin, I can tell you the weather didn't used to be this screwy. But, you know, "Climate Change is a myth"!
Glad you found a hotel and hopefully no hail in the other storms. The wind caused havoc a number of years ago I remember. Take care.
I’m going to be at osh lucky I missed this weather
Rough weather beginning for you guys, but you are definitely resourceful! I would suggest ditching the Ozark trail tent. I researched tents last April for a 9 day outdoor RC Event at Triple tree aerodrome and found the Coleman Insta tent a much better made, water tight soloution. It weighs more (40lbs) but makes for a very secure shelter in wind or rain! My 2cents. Love the blog and appreciate your efforts to share this experience with all of us who cannot attend.
Thanks Peter. The Ozark tent is definitely not as durable as we’d expected. We’ll definitely be debuting yet another new tent next year!
Thanks for the update - subscribed - hope you're drying out today!
Those of us who live here have a running joke of sorts; "How do you know when EAA starts? Just listen for the severe weather sirens to go off". EAA/RUSA/CUSA...whatever...if it's out at the EAA grounds or across 41 at Ford Field, there WILL be one day of torrential rain and storms!lol! All part of the experience and besides, it usually dries up in a couple days. Just bring a LOT of "OFF"!
Hey that's the fun of it. Rebuild and enjoy the show.l
glad i wont be there for another few days!
I was there in VAC. Fun times. How did you manage to get a hotel?
O my! That looked like my favorite RV-8 build! O no!
Twisted Hippie - he’s a friend of mine. It will be rebuilt
Twisted Hippie I don’t think they will film the rebuild. To be honest, the fuselage is the only part that was severely damaged. I was at the FBO helping to pull the wings off on Tuesday night. Wings will need some reskinning, tanks rebuilt but the tail is fine, engine rebuilt but the prop was carbon so it properly shattered. Avionics all good...It’s back in its hangar in Ohio now waiting for the all the admin (insurance/federal reports) stuff to wrap up. I was in the plane that was incorrectly reported as a Cirrus in the video. It was an RV-10. There was another RV that came off the lake that squeezed the damaged -8 into us. Another victim of the chaos of OSH.
Chris Saucier I hope everyone comes back better than ever! If there’s anything the UA-cam community can do, please let us know. Keep us posted if you can. All Love.
best oshkosh vlog on youtube!!! we'll be following all week!
I subscribed and liked... good luck with those storms and looking forward to future vlogs from the show, stay safe and watching over here in the UK
How did you get a hotel room at the last minute.
not everyone is there on Saturday before the show. if it's only for one night you can totally get a room.
Could also be someone saw the storms coming, said "screw this noise", and cancelled their reservation, creating the opening for him.
In situation's like that, I play the "it could have been worse card" and move on. The forecast for mid week is looking pretty good.
This amazes me the most. People have hundred thousandths worth of planes and they show up with the shittyist tents you can imagine.
It's fine
I saw the rv event, he hit the pavement really hard, smashed his tail wheel, and lost lateral control of the plane. I hear he put a strut through the wing in the process
Awesome vid! Why do you need the media passes?
Couldn’t come in on Sunday bc of weather. We are leaving tomorrow morning at 5 and should arrive at OSH around 10 or 11. Hopefully we can get parking, even though it’ll probably suck. Just saw that they re-opened GAC, so that’s good. Too late to make in today though.
I really like the way you cover Oshkosh. Makes me feel a little like I’m there. Are you going to do any live blogs?
How the hell did those guys almost land on top of each other when there seems to be no one really coming in? Stay safe guys!
ill be there on wed ill be looking for you guys
This is getting crazy! If they aren't allowing new arrivals to park on the grass, does that mean your plane is stuck in the grass until it dries out?
Why is it that I keep seeing you everywhere, lol
too bad ya did not say how much the hotel cost you, rates are crazy during the airshow.... comfort inn usually like 89 bucks is going for 500 right now
I’ve gotta know how did you get a room last minute there? And how much was it??
Lucky you got to get those hotel rooms 2 year ahead
The storm hit us really hard in Appleton we had a tornado touch down next to our house so we won’t have power all week
I hope the rest of the days turn out better. What app are you using for the radar maps? Thanks
I got that same CStone hotel night of the 21st last minute...bargain price of 500USD per night plus tax of course. Hope you guys got a better deal !
i went to osh kosh on friday (the last day)
Seems like it’s held on the wettest day of the year.
Just passed you bro. Keep it up🤘🏻🤘🏻
At least it’s not boring
What you pay for room and how far from site and did you have reservations.
100k airplane... $35 dollar walmart tent....
What weather app do you use?
It’s called ForeFlight, amazing app!
What day is this?
Saturday July 20th
Why can't you look in the camera?
Great vids, must look more into the camera!
Honestly, yesterdays storms were way worse.
I was really disappointed that I couldn't make it there this year....now...not so much. Nothing worse than a wet sleeping bag.
Thanks for sharing the video. Please have a look at your camera's focus settings.... Like & Sub!!
I need to talk to you guys,thanks.
It's hard to fun huh?
You should have tarped your tent several times.I need your email and phone,thanks.
