Check out Ben's video of this trip! kzread.info/dash/bejne/hJV4u7armrLIc8Y.htmlsi=6KBCc-oEbz5tRuy2

I've always felt that the optimal use of the paramotor is to travel to remote locations. This is perfection! Great job with the video.

Wished I had the courage and the money to do a Paramotor. Your adventures are amazing. One of my friends works on that Medical chopper, the one in Haywood County at least. So happy I discovered your videos! So fun to watch!

Love it, this is still on my paramotor bucket list. ❤

That sounds awful. I was actually pretty cozy with the sleeping bag and Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme Liner. The coffee was so good. Such a luxury and treat when camping

Good job! Too dang cold. Hey Ben!

The mountain views are fabulous right after takeoff from your campsite-incredible job capturing your skills and adventures!

Sweet journey👍👍👍

That's a nice mini adventure.

Great Video!

That is freedom. As a German guy, I always have to travel across the Baltic Sea first to have exactly these experiences. Luckily we have cool neighbors to the north, east and west. 🥰 Thanks for the vid.

@@willrichter9538 what are you going to be flying in with? And the air can be weird at times but it's not bad. I never flew my paramotors there but did fly some ultralight in and out and that's where our R/C club flew for years at. What I always found interesting is that the 35 end of the runway is about 50 feet lower than the 17 end. Oh, and don't fly low over the Avery correctional facility/prisons (about a mile South West of the airport). They don't like that lol

amazing place to camp but I would suggest a camp site lower down in the valley atleast in that area it would be much warmer and much more sheltered from the winds and colder Temps. kinda looks like Yakima valley Washington

@MarkHuneycutt

Bury it properly. In flight - not a good scenario.

Ignore the hall monitor trolls. No need to explain your risk assessment. Freedom first. Safety third.

I work at the mine where you got fuel, how hard is it to do this for someone that has never flown at all?

Do you have to communicate with pilots or airports when flying

Best is beautiful boy good on you two. How awesome I don't really see you much so it's great to see your wife then child great blessings Best David Cool mountains nice camping be sure sleeping bag is pre fluffed in dryer with baseballs if needed for loft if it's 23°F a 0deg bag is nice ; ¿so I'm seeing effect of increased weight to fuel economy is that so what is your pack weight 2nd weight of everything less wing ? It be neat to develope a graph for different weight pilots of paramotors and wing width desired just for flight speed and motor size type required something you are familiar with by now at least a bit

No campfire!? 😢

That looks flat enough for a trike. What do you think?

dude how do you carry it all? my backpack for cold weather weighs in around 28 pounds

@MarkHuneycutt

8 ай бұрын

I wouldn't doubt it if mine is similar, but I didn't weigh it. I forgot to show a couple things that pack down small enough that I put them in the side and bottom pockets of my paramotor - sleeping bag, sleeping pad, sleeping bag liner, toolkit. I'd actually like oversized bottom pockets for trips like this

@@MarkHuneycutt that makes sense then. the tent and sleeping bag are so bulky. i think for an overnight camp and fly i could really cut down on some of the stuff i take backpacking. After i get a lot more flights in i’ll have to look at it. do you camp near the AT at all? one of your trips looked like it was right on the appalachian trail.

Hey, Mark. I'm a retired Army pilot and I'm new to paramotors - went through training in June. I'm in NC looking for some people to fly with. You located in the mountains? I'm at the coast.
