Hey there! Thanks for commenting. All this information was correct at the time of posting, and still is as far as I can tell. At Drangarnir, drones are allowed seasonally. During nesting season the guides don't allow them, but I was there in September and my guide allowed and encouraged drone flight, as did other guides who were there at the same time as my group. As of 2022 it was not a "No Drone Zone." It's true that some locals hate the drones. I'm sure part of that is the fact that tourists often break the laws and fly their drones too close to residential areas (I saw that a lot). I like to err on the side of courtesy, and I will land my drone if asked by a local. Trælanípan is a little unclear. It's barely more than 5km away from the airport TERMINAL, but it's UNDER 5km from the tarmac. I couldn't find any clear information on where exactly the 5km should be measured from, but when I asked the locals they told me drones were not allowed there. The map on this website concurs (visitvagar.fo/en/plan-your-stay3/practical-information/drones0), and measures the radius in a way that INCLUDES Trælanípan within the 5km and therefore prohibits drones. Of course, all visitors should check current laws before flying drones and be respectful!

@@DaveDack well it IS considered a no drone zone as of 2024 (having been there only last week) and you are asked very specifically and quite invasively when you go on the Drangarnir boat whether you have one, and are requested specifically not to use it. The tour organisers frown upon them and they are incredibly unpopular. I didn’t even tell them I had one and complied with their request not to use it, as they were clearly very apprehensive about them, so while it may not be illegal to fly there, I would very much advise against it. It is a specific request of the tour operators and land owners. At the Traelanipa on the other hand, where I didn’t fly either, as I don’t think it added anything to the experience compared with taking videos from my phone at the top of the Traelanipa, there were several people flying drones and no anti-drone signs, and the landowners didn’t seem to be too concerned. With respect to the Mulafossar waterfall, I was following all the rules, there was only one other person there a couple of hundred metres away below the second lookout, and I had just landed before a local attempted to snatch my drone out of my hand and break it… she gave me the big finger and her opinion was that all drones should be banned. I just apologised and suggested she raise it with her government. The Faroese government have also just introduced new drone laws this year which are extremely vague, over complicated, wishy washy, up to 50 pages of legislation that is only available in Faroese, and are essentially geared around making you liable if anyone has any minor complaints. If you are not a local Faroese person and have a drone over 250g when including a battery, you can’t officially license it, and unless you are europe based it’s almost impossible to legally insure there, so while the Danish transportation authorities currently advise that you can use it there, it is very much at your own risk/hazard, with minimal protection if something goes wrong… and I can almost certainly guarantee that if there’s a problem, there will be a pile on, as they are frustrated enough with having tourists there that they don’t want as it is! We specifically carried around our correspondence from the Danish authorities telling us that it was permitted, in case we ran into any difficulties with local police. In my humble opinion, it’s not worth taking a drone to the Faroe Islands. The locals are so furiously and adamantly against them, and it is one of the most drone unfriendly tourist destinations, it’s not worth it, compared to Iceland and Greenland where they are very much more relaxed and they actually encourage you to use it on many of the icefjord cruises around Ilulissat and many of the boat captains are also young drone enthusiasts also.

Hey, sorry I'm just seeing this! Thanks for the comment! The Faroe Islands have public transportation, so you don't have to have a car, but your options will be limited to the schedule of the ferries and shuttles. I would recommend at least a week if possible. Safe travels!

Hi! Thanks for commenting :) The short answer is "yes, mostly."

Thanks for your service! 🙏 🇺🇸

Good question. I don't see why not, although if the zone is always going to be on then a valve seems unnecessary. Gives you options, though 🙂

Oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. Whatever your faith/beliefs, I hope my video helps you plan a meaningful service for your friend.

It really is!

Awesome, thanks!

Hey! You must be so excited about visiting the Faroe Islands! It's truly an amazing place. I'm not sure what license the comment below is referring to. I wasn't able to find any information about it. But you can visit this website which has good information as well as helpful links: visitfaroeislands.com/en/plan-your-stay/practical-information/drones I hope you have a wonderful trip and get some great photos/video!

Right?!

Thank you so much for your service 🙏 🇺🇸

Grateful for their service 🙏🇺🇸

Thanks for your service!

This is a pretty common reaction and I totally get the sentiment behind it, but from a Christian perspective the funeral is primarily about the resurrection of the dead in Christ. So it is about the deceased, but it's about their identity in Christ, not just about their life. And I never said the funeral is about the pastor preaching.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

It's absolutely worth it!

@@DaveDack looks amazing. What time of year was it? My wife is from Poland, and we are over there the whole summer. June and July are probably beautiful there

@@DannyClarkeVlog I was there in September, so the weather was still decent and there were fewer tourists 👍

Thanks so much, and good luck on your own journey!

Thanks! I didn't keep track of body fat or muscle, but now that I've reached a healthier weight I may start 🙂 I'm also starting to watch my macros a little more closely.

@@DaveDack understandable. I’m 2 weeks into tracking my food with myfitnesspal and really finding it useful. Good work and good luck with your future goals

@@Riderdownn likewise!

Thanks!

💯

I'll pass this along to the pilot, thanks!

Absolutely!

Thanks!

Nice, thanks for sharing!

Yes they are! 🇺🇸

You're welcome, and thanks in return!

Amen, thanks!

The thanks goes to you and your navy/ airforce brothers and sisters up there save are ass in and are boots on ground. Thank you for your service. @@DaveDack

The thanks goes to you and your brothers and sisters saving are ass both in the air and on the ground. @@DaveDack

@@BOMC_Stealth 👍I'll pass along your thanks to the pilot and his family. I just did the video :)
