How much stuff can you fit in a carbon cub?

This is what we bring for a two or three night trip. We have lightweight backpacker type gear, but we still bring a cooler and have the luxury of thick camp pads and full pillows. We are pretty much at gross (1320 lbs) with 2.5 hours of fuel. Candidly we could bring the weight down for more fuel, but we find this works for most missions

OK, now lets see the same camp setup in a stiff wind as it's getting dark, and after a few beers! Good teamwork.

[@Backcountryaviation]

That’s why I brought the shotgun

[@ultimatesoccershow]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! REALLY ENJOYED IT BUT.. I couldn't stop laughing when you guys were blowing up the mattresses in sync, so funny!

[@chrisdeuel5773]

I love this whole series. Thank you! I dont hear much about trimming. My Luscombe trim is touchy!

[@avoidingtrees6692]

😳!!!! I would not even try to do that in my 747-400F.........PERIOD. Cheers from France America👍

[@davidbacon9223]

i'm in the middle of a little arts-n-crafts doodle project, while browsing the KZbin outside a cafe, so your video has caught me totally off guard! i'm gonna 're-wind' and watch it more closely!..... what you are doing has been my 'ultimate homeless fantasy', for decades! MORE POWER TO YOU!!!!! way cool! have lots of fun!!!!!!!!!!!..... THANK YOU! :-)

[@BKWalrus]

This video is fake. Two problems. No arguing and no one bumped their head on the flaps. :) Seriously though, great video! Looks like the perfect setup. You two look so happy!

[@MrTrippintime]

That tent is sweet, you guys are so fast at setting up !!! haha

[@StingFlight]

Hey, nice production with the speed-up and voice notes. I gotta try those tricks on my next video.

[@jc2942]

Hey Patrick, Great video big fan here! Now that I a an educated Cub fan I know with those BIG ALASKAN WHEELS, all that gear you and your wife. Plus that cooler full of ice and drinks plus food. Oh you forgot that 45 CAL 1911. Really 1320??? You must be pretty light fellow. You just in the envelope aren't you? YES, YOU ARE!! Did you say 2.5 gallons of fuel?? NO SHARP TURNS OR TAKEOFFS FOE YOU! yOU ARE FLYING WITH THE UNUSABLE FUEL !! I took a guess at all the weights . Can't wait for the FAA to wake up and change that weight of 1320 up where it belongs! Around 2,000 sounds right to me, but they are now talking about 3500 lbs!!! Holy Moly!! Pull out the spare tanks and pack'em in too! FILL 'ER UP PLEASE AND LETS NOT RUN OUT OF GAS GETTING BACK HOME!!

[@PDZ1122]

The answer is: about a quarter what you can stuff into a Maule.

[@Backcountryaviation]

You don’t say..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioTalneqgr2AatU

[@FeedCrayfish]

hey bro!! you forgot the cam!

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

"Try to do that in a Husky!" - LOL!

[@blugray2961]

makes me want the extended baggage for sure. Blu

[@shawnmccrary5526]

Blu Gray belly Pod is better

[@sshelo1]

Great video! Could you post your equipment list, as I like your gear and would be interested in looking into it! Keep these videos coming, they are a major help!

[@Backcountryaviation]

+sshelo1 probably best to just pm as the list changes on where and what we are doing.

[@The_GreenMachine]

Thats a sweet tent! ill need to buy me one.

[@gdcartjr]

You guys can sure put up a tent fast.

[@hendriprijanto4623]

Nice cub & good camping stuff, just one question, what the shotgun use for.. ?

[@Backcountryaviation]

I do! wait till I make that video...

[@jpm74]

I wonder if you could throw a small 125cc dirt bike back there with the front wheel off?

[@mythologicalmyth]

Thanks for sharing. -L26

[@proscllc]

Love this vid! Who needs a Maule?!

[@oldthudman]

I am so gel-lus....

[@rogerherbert58]

Love it

[@paulbergman8228]

No ports poti? 😎

[@hawk8403]

This video really answered my questions about luggage capacity well. It was a little unnerving when the female hopped in the pilot's seat but I'm sure the mistake was realized and corrected prior to takeoff. Great video!

[@Backcountryaviation]

Ha! That’s my wife and she is a 7000 hour ATP. She still flys for a living so probably the best one in the front seat :-)

[@Redryder79]

I know this is an old video but if you're still out there is this aircraft powered with an O-200?

[@andrewmorris3479]

[@willymakeit5172]

I’ve been away from flying for far too many years. What’s a Carbon Cub?

[@pedrolanevert]

Willy Makeit Carbon Cub is the plane, that is a reproduction of a Piper Super Cub, but in a very upgraded version, in Carbon, with a 180hp Lycoming engine! It’s made by Cubcrafters! Great planes!!! cubcrafters.com/

[@robertd1p2]

Wow - Totally Freaking Awesome!! Your username might be lame but certainly not your rig, your set-up and definitely not your focused-sense of purpose. Fuck-yeah you guys kill-it. As a Native-Alaskan; I Love the Kokanee too, tough to get here in Diego-Juana but I can't Da surf-glaciers, too tough to trunk-it on nice days. Great Vid, you guys RULE! Thanks. r-Bot

[@ducfandan1117]

LOL, there is no way in hell you were under 1320 MGTOW... ;-)

[@hoss6355]

Might I recommend whiskey? Much lighter than beer...

[@Backcountryaviation]

I assure you we bring both

[@bwilliams6260]

Are you still flying the CC or did you move onto something else?? What model of tent is that??

[@Backcountryaviation]

+B WILLIAMS we don't have A carbon cub at the moment, we are no longer the dealers in our area, but we still have a maule M7 and bushed out super cub. The tents we used double as tents and emergency shelters. They are from a company called hillberg and they make expedition tents. They are pretty light weight but more importantly they are bombproof made for high mountain expeditions. They are overkill for an airplane camping trip, but it is a piece of mind.

[@bwilliams6260]

I know of the Hillburg and the Arctic ovens - Both tents, great tents - Looking to replace my Northface VE24 and the hillburg looks like the ticket - Do you now the model of your Hillberg? no longer a fan of the Carbon Cub? what are your thoughts on American Denali Scout?

[@Backcountryaviation]

It is a kaitum 3 GT. I would love a carbon cub in the hangar still but hard to justify given my mission which is usually hauling bikes or bulky film equipment. The Maule's performance is sub 300' at most of my altitudes when lightly loaded and never over 900' fully loaded. Plus I routinely go on 200+ mile trips making it a bit better suited for speed and range. My cub is a toy that is just super fun to fly at 1/3rd the cost of a Carbon cub. I haven't ever own a scout, but I have done plenty of instruction in them. For me personally they don't have the STOL performance that I would typically use. That being said they are docile and put out good numbers in many other categories.

[@DirkHav]

You both don't know it so I say it clearly : you live in a paradise. If you do this in Belgium they put you in jail. I adore what you are doing, the flying, camping . . .

[@CrispyOkra]

Put you in jail for what? Do you not have public lands in Belgium?

[@pedrolanevert]

DirkDucat pareil en France! Pas de posé sauvage... que sur terrain balisé!... on interdit même aux camping cars de se poser où ils voudraient, alors en avion!... 🙄🙄😢😢

[@TAShannon1]

Dern!

[@jeyapaulsamathanam7057]

Overload at your own peril .

[@MrTrippintime]

Hey your girlfriend is Hot! and the nice lady helping you set up the tent is very efficient. haha
