FLY CAMPING :: MONTANA

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.scoutparamotor.com
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.
