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:

You can learn to fly with Team Fly Halo:

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.

What? Two Ryan Southwell videos already this year?!?! Finally 2020's starting to look up a bit! Loved the adventure and the cinematography. Bucket list stuff right there for sure.

Ryan, I just discovered your videos, a suggestion from a Facebook paramotor group member. Your videos are all epic! You deserve 1mil subscribers! Keep ‘me coming
Just came across your channel and this video - love it!!
That why they call it "Big Sky" country. Love it in the summer, you can have it in the winter! Great flying as aways!

GREAT video, Ryan! I could totally feel flying with you ... if I'd only been 20 years younger when we did that first Team Fly Halo training in 2012, I might have been there with you. That Bald Eagle joining your flight was especially awesome!

This video is simply, beautiful. I've been into flying for quite a long time, and nearly had my pilots license when life got in the way. I've been keeping my eye on paramotor flying for quite some time, as I always have that "what's over there?" desire. I will definitely be looking into flyhalo. Thank you.

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.

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.
That looks amazing! Is that up near Flathead? I grew up in Great Falls and spent a ton of time hiking and camping to the west in the foothills of the Rockies but didn't spend much time at Flathead. Some beautiful country!

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.

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

13 mins was not long enough video, your video quality and skills are unsurpassed, more entertaining than tucker Gott (but i still love tucker), hes responsible for bringing PPG to the masses, so make more videos please please, yours videos are much needed to represent PPG and flight. your more adventure flying and that is really entertaining to watch.

Team Fly Halo provides a motor. It's all plugged up in the exhaust and intake so no water got it. Ran perfectly fine afterwards.
Ryan, what drone do you use for those aerial shots? Is someone piloting from the ground while y'all fly? Really incredible footage :)

He used a Mavic Mini for just a couple of those shots at the fly-camp site. Otherwise, all other aerial shots he does from his paramotor with a sick custom setup.

Fly camping and flying over water in a scout seems risky. Be a lot safer in a Flat Top, frame wont explode and u wont be drowndeded

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👍
