Stuck In The Middle Of Nowhere With A Helicopter for 24 HOURS! | COLD ISLAND Chapter Two
In chapter two, the weather gets in the way of our plans and grounds us on a mountain overnight. We then find ourselves stuck on a rock in the middle of nowhere for 24 HOURS due to poor visibility. A major headwind has us questioning our ability to make it to our destination before running out of fuel.
We took a MASSIVE cross country helicopter trip in August where we flew our helicopter, the Millennial Falcon, back to our Canadian home province Newfoundland and Labrador. We will be releasing episodes of Cold Island, A Helicopter Travel Series every Sunday and Wednesday until Nov 13th! This is our largest video project (and helicopter trip) to date. Hope you enjoy it!

Absolutely! I saw this video and thought "24 minutes??", but then it auto-played and I was sucked in.
As someone with an ultrawide monitor, you have no idea how much I appreciate real 21:9 aspect ratio instead of shitty black bars added on top of the footage
This series makes me realize that having a helicopter is one of the best filmmaking tools ever...I wonder if B&H has any in stock ?

English is a strange language. He said it was "intense" which sounds identical to "in tents." The funny part is that he said it while sitting in a tent.
Can we get a shout out to our dude WAYNE, coming in clutch. Love this series. Also, love Chris's fly jutsu.
This series just keeps getting better and better. I stopped editing to watch this. I dont stop editing for ANYTHING.
Fellow helicopter pilot here. Nice job being well prepared, making safe choices and having a backup plan for every contingency. I've never had to camp out, but I have set the helicopter down in a random field to let a storm pass. There's nothing like a long long cross country flight in a helicopter. It's always a learning experience. Play it safe and live to fly another day! Thanks for sharing.
This documentary should've hit the cinemas.
Becki, I know you are the one editing this. You should be so damn proud of this project. Seriously. So f’ing thought out. Everything from storyline, to visuals to music is 12/10. Cant wait for the next!

Holy CRAP!!! Chewed my fingernails to the NUB!! The story was awesome but, Becki, the filming, editing and story telling are amazing!! I want to binge the whole season!! So glad you guys made it - so far - and this is a terribly exciting story! Also - so glad that Chris is a thoughtful and deliberate pilot. This is as educational as it is informative! WOW! Great drone flying also - seeing the chopper from all those angles is so neat!! Can. Not. Wait.

Becki and Chris (70 Year’s old): Remember that time we got stranded on a rock and ate noodles and killed mosquitoes for two days? Those were good times. Scary as hell... but good times.
Traveling in bad weather 101! :) On the bright side, you guys discover and spent time at places others may start going to now after watching these videos. Very exciting journey and I am glad you two decided to bring us all with you on it.
Best adventure is going through all those up and downs. You guys have the best attitude of doing an adventure. There is always good people and kind person all around the world. Love this episode.
Beck- I slept terrible Chris m-“big smile” I slept great lol
This is honestly some of my favorite stuff you two have done. Seriously, major props to how this was orchestrated, presented, structured.. another redundant word. I foolishly watched these backwards.. but I'm so pleased. I get that trips like these are hectic and honestly unpredictable; but the way this was planned and presented (as you're already teasing footage even in the first video just introducing the idea of the trip) was done SO well. That, and amidst the chaos of landing on rocks in dense fog, private property ski resorts, you still captured things in a way that present the scenarios, in (dare I say) a cinematic way, and kept up with the pacing while keeping information flowing. Not once was I bored. If this were an hour long, edited the way it was, I would've still been glued. Nonetheless, looking forward to more.
I can only imagine the feeling of waking up and seeing the weather is still just as bad! Wow.

I grew up in the Sept Isle-ish area. Do not miss the flies. It is truly a remote and desolate spot. Even today with modern aviation it's costs a bloody fortune just to get there from Alberta. Loving the series.
This is the only documentary-style travel video that I watched from start to finish without skipping!
Really awesome episode. Can't wait for the next. Have an amazing week, Andreas 🇸🇪
Nice adventure. Good to see helpful people saving your baconout in the middle of nowhere.
Life experiences and meeting some awesome ppl along the way.. Dosent get any better than that. 💞
Many decades ago, my flight instructor taught me his favorite pilot agage: "If time's no care, go by air." I'm enjoying your evidence of that.
Dudes, this is UNREAL GOOD! Thank you for all the effort and awkwardness of filming this to be enjoyed. Just killer!
Chris “What would you do if I dumped this out right now?’ Becki “I’d punch you.” So matter of fact. I love it!!! Seriously...I was on the edge of my seat! Well done! Great storytelling!!! I’m excited to continue on! Cheers!!!

Just watched the first episode and I have to say I`m LOVING IT. WOW what an adventure.

This is an amazing adventure. Love the storytelling and cinematography.
You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for taking us on this journey! :)
Watching this video makes me feel like I can fulfill my dreams and have the bike of my dream. Also knowing that there are people living and enjoying this way makes me feel like I am myself.
SOOOOO MUCH DRAMA... I can feel Becki's anxiousness. Literally sat on the edge of my seat the entire episode! Also, great human beings everywhere on this planet. There is hope :)
So cool. Helicopter camping. Adventure new level!! Thanks.
that's why I luuuurve Canada! sweet jobs guys...DEADLY!
AMAZING CHAPTER 2!! The experience was intense for sure, but you guys made it through as one and didn’t allow the stress level mess up your trip.
Awesome awesome episode. Bring on the next!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Watched it all... loved ❤️ it... cant wait for the next episode...
What an intense & the beauty of the adventure!!!!!
First time I really heard Chris' Newfoundland accent come out.... And it's in Quebec. Great vid kids!
Such great story telling. Enjoying.
That moment Chris comes back after asking for a ride to get fuel is magical and yes small towns has the best people...
This is an amazing series so far! I was not expecting to be so captivated by a helicopter trip to an island in the cold north. The storytelling, editing, cinematic visuals, soundscape and rhythm of these videos are really great! Looking forward to the rest of them.

What a great adventure and fantastic that you share it with the world!
Just loving this series. Great job Becki and Chris
Jesus this is so good, amazing story! Also, am I the only one that didn't know mosquito head tents were a thing? I need those in my life.

Thanks for taking us along. I once wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter and own one but after watching this video not anymore. Be safe. Looking forward to more videos.
You inspire me to go and discover the world Best wishes form egypt
Wow, guys!! What a trip!!!👏👏👏👏⛈️🌈🌠
Shoutout to Wayne! It gives you hope for humanity.
Absolutely addicted to your travels. Great work guys!
WOHOO for WAYNE SPINGLE!!!
Absolutely great storytelling!
4th time around watching this, gotta say... its a goddam vibe. A+ work guys
This is a crazy story- a genuine adventure! Thanks for all of the time and energy put into making something like this.
That Wayne guy what a fella!!!!!!!
what a lovely film! thanks for sharing, and high appreciation for your filming and editing effort.
This is mint! It's so goooood the cold island! Love you guys!!!
Hi Becki and Chris. This is a great example of private flying, as it shows that doing the right thing often sucks balls, and staying safe is more often than not hard work. Have a nice trip you two, love the content, take care D
First time viewer here. What a wonderful adventure, thanks for sharing and your wise words regarding visibility & "only 5 mins from an airport" and landing to stay safe. That 5 minutes could turn into 4 minutes and 50 seconds too long.
Thumbs up from Down under, (I guess we'd be the Hot Island then?), to you both & Wayne. Proving there are still some great people in the world. 👍👏👏
Great work guys! You're easily the most watchable vloggers
Love the dream and love to see you guys living it. Respect.
So nice to see some Canadian content, I'm hooked. Brianne C. 1964 Areonca Champ

seriously - this is hillariously beautiful filmed, so great edited, so great told! thanks for this!
Love it! Great video again! And CANADA! So beautiful, as a Canadian I love this series so far!
I'm sure a lot of this trip wasn't fun per say, but it was one of the best episodes ever! Love the real, the raw, the unknowns. Great visual storytelling! Well done!
This is so good. Thanks for documenting your journey.
So obsessed with this series. The visuals, the both of you, the unpredictability of it all. Ahhh, incredible! Bravo!
Netflix Series worthy! Thank you so much for this amazing video! You guys are awesome!
I came to this channel to learn about using tone curves but I'm a non-flying flying geek too. Thanks for the mix of skills.
Best KZreadrs ever! Chris is a great pilot. Becki you seem like your handling being in the helicopter better then when you guys first got it. Awesome video series thanks for creating it.
great call. 5 minutes or not when you need to put it down you need to place the machine on the ground. well done guys.
What an adventure!!! Becky is a TROOPER! My wife would murder me 😂
Once again another great video. Enjoy you guys so much. Keep up the good work.
Oh Becky look at you! So comfortable helping with navigation timing and getting use to terms like closing the flightplan and stuff! You are getting the aviation bug as well! You know what will be awesome? If after this trip you started your training as well, BUT in an airplane. If you still have Matt's weather module you can ask him if he can take you on a short flight on his Bonanza so you can choose to do the training or not. Chris on a helicopter and Becky on an airplane.. Just think about it.. :D
Those fuel gauges at 17:28 😬🙏 Another beautifully shot video and great storytelling too!
This series is so cool, makes me want to learn to fly..pity it costs so much. You two are living the dream.
So great, love it and can not wait for the next episode!
Great start to the series ...love the longer length of the videos as well, your story telling is fantastic!!!
This should be on Netflix! Great job, I can’t wait until the next episode
Great video! It’s great to see you play it safe and land even though your were so close to the airport. I think people preach it but few practice it, it’s refreshing to see you being so keen on safety!
Excellent aviation decision making.
Good for you for being so safe. I fly a lot with private pilots and the best ones are the ones that don't take chances.
Strong aeronautical decision making to land in the face of bad visibility
You guys might want to consider a weather proof tent and an extra survival pack for future extended trips. ❤️ You 2 make a great team!
I absolutely love, love, love your videos and the energy you are spreading, you are awesome!
Great trip, I watched it twice. We vlogged a trip from Florida to Montreal. After your videos I ordered some Newfoundland brochures. I definitely want to explore more of the coast of Canada.
Finally able to watch this insane piece of art series
I bet it was mentally hard, but guys what an adventure ! Holding my breath until Sunday ! You guys rock
