FLY CAMPING :: SALTON SEA

The Salton Sea has become a new mecca for paramotor pilots. The air is always smooth and you can nearly fly all day long. But what I discovered is that while the coast is crowded with dozens of pilots, you can fly west to the mountains and enjoy flying in the colorful canyons. I decided to leave the crowd for a night and fly in to go camping.
I tip my hat to these guys for keeping it real. I highly recommend them:
Team Fly Halo :: Paramotor gear and training.
flyhalo.com
Scout Paramotor :: My preferred brand of paramotor.
www.scoutparam...
PPG Smoke :: Excellent paramotor accessories.
ppgsmoke.com
I created all the music in this episode while sampling a few items into some of the tracks. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve been sitting in the oilfield for years now watching these videos and all the ones like it. What a way to live life! One day.... I will purchase said paramotor and take to the sky in search of many epic and saucy adventures.

[@ryansouthwell]

Do it !

[@TuckerGott]

Nice one, Ryan! I loved the Scout trunk idea, might have to try that one out.

[@ryansouthwell]

Tucker Gott Scout Trunk. That’s a good term. I went through many.... jockey box, undercarriage... I like yours best.

[@MariaOrLex]

He got dell”s wing must be good then

[@MmmmmmmmmmmMm15]

I wonder how many people thought this was a flying car video 😂😂😂

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Seriously the most cinematic parvlog film maker in the sport,. Mucho grande!!

[@ryansouthwell]

Thanks Jerry

[@THESkiViking]

Always wanted to fly with Shane- got the chance once and the prop goblin got him! So fun to watch him send.

[@SCOUTaviation]

best paramotor video lately. And thank you for your nice words. hope to share an adventure like this soon

[@fly-guyalberta3605]

I HAVE AN ISSUE with channels like this. There should be a KZbin setting for specific great channels that allows the viewer to click the 'thumbs up' button as many times as you wish. I feel offended that I can only like these video once. So great! I tip my helmet to such incredible work.

[@ryansouthwell]

Fly-guy Alberta you made my week!! Thanks mate.

[@brianbuckner1787]

Agreed!!!

[@PPGGORILLA]

You don't put out a lot of content but it is worth the wait Ryan! This was another epic adventure captured as only you can. Loved the cinematic shots, the music, and the adventure.

[@chogieboy]

Outstanding film, amazing storytelling.

[@lt.dansparamotoradventures2592]

Looks like fun

The intro music made me think he would run into the three amigos

[@jesperalbers2067]

Awesome montage and superb location.

[@mikefogle5874]

What's not to love about that? WOW freakn' amazing!

[@robsteele2087]

Magnificent images, as always. You have an eye.

[@dnorthup65]

The ghost riders, the edit to make the colors pop in the desert that evening (assuming you did a little in post to help us see all the colors), the para cave, the duel at the end. . . this one had it all. Played this one at "normal" speed. Sorry to all you other para vloggers out there but - I watch ya'lls vids at 2x speed. But your videos sir, never disappoint. Thanks for the effort!

[@ryansouthwell]

Made me smile. Thanks. Glad I made the normal speed list. Yes, there is some processing but even the GoPro footage could see the colors. I even gave myself a chuckle when I put the duel together. Hey, the guy just showed up so he inevitably made the video.

[@MikeFlyItAll]

Another great edit brother... Make more... cheers...

[@hcbaldwin]

I am not sure why I did not see this when you put it up but as always, EXCELLENT!

[@flierbill]

Binge watching all of them !

[@mjhppg791]

I Always enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@marlonze]

Uau amazing images and adventure. Very nice! Thanks, greetings from Brazil!

[@joshperryppg]

Man, I haven't seen one of your videos for months! Your Glamis video is what got me into paramotoring! Best paramotor videos on youtube right here! I can't believe you don't have more subscribers.

[@ryansouthwell]

Help me out :) Haha, thanks. Stay safe, fly fun.

[@joanofark7649]

I love this video and can't wait to seeing everyone back next year.

[@ryansouthwell]

Thanks! And... next year with no injuries or accidents! I think I'm going to go out camping again and bring some people with me.

[@mmcowan]

Amazing. I love how you pull everything together to truly bring us along on your adventure. It was great flying with you...can't wait to do it again sometime.

[@ryansouthwell]

Yes, lets!

[@paramotorhead]

Another fantastic para movie Ryan. I always enjoy your humorous filming style. Stay safe brother!

[@ryansouthwell]

Scott ‘Flysenberg’ Harcourt thanks. That makes it just you and me then. My wife thinks I’m a dork. 😆

[@ripmanridin7092]

Sweet video Ryan...........That ending was awesome!!!

[@ryansouthwell]

Wait, besides making such an awesome video, you made the music too? Some of the best paramotor, or ANY, content I have watched. I can't believe you don't have over a million subscribers. I just found you recently and I am binge watching all your stuff.

[@GregAnthonyHarris]

Best Paravlog of 2020 so far! Superb!

[@ryansouthwell]

Thanks Greg.

[@Lowai14]

Awesome !

[@BeeRye1000]

Just watched this for the first time. This is unmatched quality. Why did every shot look amazing!? Does golden hour last half a day at salton sea? Best paravlog on the internet

[@bethanywalker3145]

I need to explore that sometime!! Thanks for making great videos

[@FreedomQuestAdventures]

You are absolutely the most amazing paramotor videographer ever. I wish you made a million more videos.

[@gobulls-bt2hx]

You won't let those . . . robots . . . defeat me. How does this only have 5k views?

[@ryansouthwell]

You win!!! Seriously anyone who can pick out that song that I “covered” wins a gold medal in my book. One of my favorite songs!! Remember to take your vitamins.

[@SharkyintheSky]

Just discovered your channel. Had to subscribe. So fun to watch. I just found a tower to fly around, nothing like those canyons though. Keep 'em coming.

[@ChrisJewell7333]

Love that intro music felt like I was back at the Cartwright Ranch…😄 wow I gotta say you get a 10 out of 10 multicultural music, stunning video footage little bit of goofy playing around great design on storage for camping gear “Skilled flying” above incredible scenery If you would’ve spotted Bigfoot it would’ve been a perfect video Yep 10 out of 10 Ryan…👏

[@ryansouthwell]

Haha, THANSK! I appreciate that

[@sandorrendeczky8549]

Thank you for the new awesome video, Ryan. My paramotor training happens in 38 days. I am so stoked! I have totally fallen for the adventure flying you are talking about in the video. I will try to take as many adventures as possible, and I hope to fly around the World. I've already had one paramotor adventure with Jean Francois Chabaud, as his ground crew. I'm looking forward to more adventures with Jean and hope to take Scout Adventures with Miro, as a pilot or ground crew...it's all good to me! I love this sport!!! Hope we get to fly and/or have adventures together, man!

[@milesb4231]

This is a beautiful video. I was so happy to meet you in person when you came back from this adventure. I could just tell you had an awesome time - smiling ear to ear. Fly camping is why I got into the sport and your videos are inspirational.

[@ryansouthwell]

Great to have met you too. Maybe we'll go fly camping somewhere soon.

[@JulianCates]

Loved the video, man. Great editing! That looks like such a fun place to fly, gonna have to put it on the bucket list.

[@NickRadford]

This is really perfect. Like really.

Thanks for the adventure Ryan. It's always enjoyable to ride along.. The same is said for Scout Paramotors Adventures and Miro.

Great edit Ryan. Love the license plate.

Only the best

Ha! I was so goofy. Sometimes I can be serious, other times a bit odd.

[@DisposableBelief]

Your videos are under rated. People need to see more of your work! Another great video Ryan. Cheers!

[@ryansouthwell]

Thanks. Hard to get the word out without becoming a click-bait sucker. It's a constant inward battle I have.

[@StephenMartin001]

Awesome video! Excellent cinematography and editing. Really enjoyed it. Just discovered you and have subscribed! Looking forward to more of your adventures. Do you get all the shots in air from a gopro? If so, you have a magic touch!

Amazing amigo. 🤠

Outstanding, as always. And love the Ghost Glider!
