Bush Bonanza in the Backcountry

[@ryangi5]

We would like to give a shout-out and special "thank you" to the bear who was kind enough to film the landing and departure on that grass field, and then upload the footage to Matt so he could add it to this vlog!

[@CharlieLamdin]

Owen was FURIOUS when he got in the plane. The best understated rage I've heard in years! Off camera I bet he lost his sh t totally...

[@farhanfouadacca]

I too noticed that. But it maybe because he had just gotten up.

[@genecreamers5233]

Haha. “We’ll be out of here at 5” “6:07am” that’s me every damn morning.

[@GabeVarns]

Watching this is 20 minutes of pure zen. Thank you for your content!

[@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891]

I am always impressed by the extreme junk food consumption in Matts life. 😂

[@farhanfouadacca]

Life’s different above 30. Totally different above 40. I start panicking if I see a drop off oil in my plate.

[@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891]

@@farhanfouadacca ok. Above 50 you arrive in hell about food concerns. Never thought earlier in my life, that I think seriously so much about food.

[@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891]

@Bobolirioes yes thats true.

[@BamaContractor]

Living the Life Gentlemen! Thanks for bringing me along. Just adding to my bucket list.

[@lucky_one2]

I sure hope you compensate Owen ;-) ... seems like he puts up with a lot...maybe its just the editing?

[@ngtflyer]

Little bit of a crosswind inside the plane there.. and THEN goes and gets a milkshake! This was a fun one, and what a great view. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@DUBaviator]

Poor Owen in the Guthmiller fartmobile :)

[@tropicthndr]

“Climb on outa here” except we have to go back down and take out more shrubs and beat the prop up with gravel again just to get the camera.

[@fentoninman1106]

Great flight, beautiful scenery. Love flying with you. Keep it up.

[@jessekiefer0206]

Poor Owen look like he was a great sport about it. What an amazing view!

[@josueamavizca5444]

Very cool Matt it is a nice way to live your life, it seems like you enjoy every minute

[@CheckSixAviation]

I feel sorry for Owen! Matt, the gas is supposed to be in the tank and not in the cockpit! 🤣

[@cyh4031]

LOL!!!

Owen was pissed 😂😂😂

You left your friend in Pocatello? Are you sure you are his friend?

[@NovejSpeed3]

He left him in Pocatello with no phone charger or clean pair of underwear, he was late picking him up and brought him breakfast of Ritz crackers...Pretty sure he crop dusted him also LOL...Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Him and Owen are REALLY close 😆

[@jackvolpe933]

[@paulwoolvett2285]

I couldn't stop laughing for the "incident" Congratulations Matt for your tremendous work, very good and cool videos. Greetings fron Chile. Bye.

[@jimluff7520]

There is just a lot food consumed on Matt's trips.

[@petermcgarrymusicandflying]

Great to see a fellow Chelsea fan here

[@MUuulerOriginal]

Owen should have left a bolt not all the way tightened up in one of the chairs as a revenge to matt xD

[@scottpecora371]

Regarding Indian Creek, the runway length can lead to a false sense of security. Indian Creek is known for having a mid-day heat inversion. It's like you get the gear up and then, ugh! It's like suddenly you can't climb for squat until you finally get out over the cooler air over the river then find yourself following the river to climb out. Despite its length Indian Creek is really an early morning, late evening airstrip, not to mention turbulence and cross winds start picking up around 11:00 as you discovered. The FBO'S will even shy away mid day flying come summer. Some of the most violent turbulence I've ever experienced was descending down Pistol Creek where it merges with the Middle Fork of the Salmon. It was so bad I went high pitch on the prop,, and lowered the gear. Even then it was chaos and we bagged it and diverted to McCall till late evening. Then never had so much as a ripple. Also a lot less terrifying for passengers prone to getting their rosary's out! The same applies even more so for Pistol Creek as there is a substantial mid field cross wind every day starting around lunch time. I grew up with my family having a cabin at Pistol Creek. My father and his partner in the cabin were both commercial airline pilots with West Coast Airlines starting in 1954. The Partner also owned the Beechcraft Dealership in Boise so we always had the latest model to fly. Partner also owned the Avis Dealership and several aeronautical companies. So growing up I had the opportunity to often fly with two professional pilots, what an education that was. My father was fanatical about center of gravity, gross weight, and density altitude. Our first Bonanza N521AD only had 185hp, and no turbo! Never saw dad or Partner fly past 10:00am in July or August.

[@azspotfree]

I've owned a Bonanza or two over the years. They are all bush Bonanzas. That was always the point

[@CitizenCop]

Owen was so salty for this vlog!

[@jensonhartmann3630]

Did you see the previous vlog?

[@gewglesux]

it was in the script..

[@marksmith7896]

"Team Owen" !!!!!!!

[@us4marine]

Owen you’re a man with class and the greatest attitude, oh by the way, I meant JUST YOU.!!!

[@eldoradony]

Who is the new girl?

[@sonnicman]

Owens girlfriend I believe.

[@JohnSmith-hl8oy]

yo shoutout to Matt for upgrading the GF i see. very nice. I liiike.

LMAO, with the Cross wind check!... lololol

[@VinOnline]

I'm excited for this video!

[@happyhermit2022]

Incredible scenery thank you for sharing 👍

[@robh4671]

the take off at 9:22 Looked awesome.

[@tombrooks5933]

I don't think I have ever heard someone say "well thanks, that's very nice of you" with less enthusiasm than what Owen did LOL Also, has anyone noticed the two voices of Matt...one is his normal voice and then there is the lower, husky, somewhat bored com voice?

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

If you have a camera system in your home with internet connectivity, some have the option of being able to turn on lights or other devices from an app on your phone. You can use this to open your hangar door if you want, from the app on your phone, and watch the door open with a camera pointed in that direction for confirmation.

[@AMJDG]

First you strand Owen then you stink him out in a confined space. I think he deserves a major all expense paid vacation... 🤣😂🤣

[@wildedog2204]

I didn’t realize I was into flying until I found this channel.

[@donaldholman9070]

Great video. Thank you.

[@AviadorLPA]

6:35 i wouldn't do that turn it was very close to the ground

[@redlock4004]

A word of caution Matt. Don't sit too close to the fire. Boom!

like the glass cockpit our upgrading next year to gx3 ,,,,,,,our is b36 though with bigger wing span

[@gtr1952]

Seems like there is never a shortage of chow with Matt, it's a wonder there isn't gas in the cabin on a more regular basis. 8) LOLOL --gary

What's the squawk code for a gas attack in a confined space? Especially when the attack has been initiated by the PIC!

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Matt from Sydney Australia. * Like the Stockman's chairs: remember if buy cushions to have ties, so they don't blow off!!!! * Smores: sweet. * Great short film. 😼🌴

[@ImaginaryKiddo]

13:51 What are those numbers on the hill?

[@igclapp]

I believe those are high school graduation years. The senior class paints their graduation year on the hill. This is very common all over the rural western United States. The "A" at the top of the hill is probably for Arco, Idaho.

[@GabrielMattern]

Pretty sure I heard your call sign on SoCal approach freq on Friday. Told my passengers, "Hey I know that guy... on youtube"

[@tompinnef6331]

Move the door remote to the outside into a plastic box. We did that at the fire station then just added some wire in between the remote and door motor. Another tip - for 'nasty' smells - Vaseline to the tip of your nose (in between the openings). (Or a air pack) Had to help remove bodies more then once. (I know.. just passing on life experiences) Take care be safe. Spin

[@MaxRunia]

If you're going to be doing the Idaho Backcountry and need more than two seats, I'd look at purchasing a Maule. Would suck to beat up that Bonanza.

[@jazzbeau507]

Amazing scenery.

[@farhanfouadacca]

What did Owen’s shirt say at 18:22? Couldn’t understand. Also, what’s the name of your new girlfriend?

[@mj-pg3uj]

Food for thought anyone...how about some Smores...

[@TwoThreeXray]

Last time I was this early, I ended up at walgreens the next morning

[@KareBearxx]

Stoooop😂😂

[@igclapp]

Hi Matt, would you recommend reading any background material or taking mountain flying instruction before attempting these Idaho backcountry strips? Or is it just basic common sense? I visited Johnson Creek and Krassel by car but haven't flown in yet.

[@isaaclarson]

I have virtually flown into McCall and Indian Creek a bunch on MSFS. Pretty area.

[@jeremysikes708]

There are garage ginie openers that hook up to your wifi and allow you to open and close from your cell.

[@BrianSHatch]

I'm curious about airparks in general. You're up and flying by 5 or 6 in the morning. Being that it's also a residential community, does the airpark have any rules about how early (or late) you can be flying ? Great video BTW !

[@IkeCoblentz]

Yes they gave rules. it varies

[@fearnsey8800]

What brand is the chair ? Looks very nice

[@dand2440]

Leaving air biscuits in the cockpit lol

[@visibilityzero1361]

What camera equipment are you using??

[@oltimer5544]

Matt needs to rename this channel "All Junk Food All The Time". That works for a while until you're about 40.

7:37 You walk/hike like all the people did before they put that airport in. Imagine all the people who traveled through that area before planes were even invented. Feet, horses, jeanie-blinks....okay maybe not jeanie-blinks but you can get there without a plane.
