Flying Across Utah in ONE day and a Motor Out! Mexico to Canada on Paramotors Day 3

[@MarkHuneycutt]

This one's a big one! We cross Utah in a single day in only two flights totalling 7.2 hours of seat time and over 385 miles. A lot of craziness happens in this video - 87 mph groundspeed, biggest mountains yet, Caleb attempting to pee from his harness, a crash, crossing a munitions depot and the Great Salt Lake, and a motor out resulting in a huge glide! Don't forget to watch the other two videos as well 🙂... and if I didn't make it obvious, we landed in Idaho for our 1st campsite of the trip. Also, everyone go like this review at the Sublett Fuel Stop where we camped out. It would be hilarious to blow the review up! maps.app.goo.gl/4kLtSN1eWoFjc52Y8

[@brianbuckner1787]

I've been so excited for this one! Great job on the sizzle edit and humanity capture.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

@@brianbuckner1787 Thank you sir

[@stargazer3212]

wow 4.8 mile glide, that was amazing.

[@Kolbra2004]

Mark, being a fixed-wing pilot, I don't know how you guys have the patience to fly paramotors on a cross country like this. Truly an adventure ...

[@ashashahin3526]

How you answer your on questions

[@lam19bo]

We can watch a movie on the way,watch some porn have fap😂,plenty to do

[@BStrambo]

I fly a 150...similar ground speeds 🤣

[@rwburrowsimagery901]

That helicopter that flies in around 11:30 is one I used to work on! Damn funny to have it pop in on a random series that showed up in my feed!

[@juangalton999]

Small world sometimes. It's fun when we can connect like that with others like that. :)

[@lupnasty]

Calling out your boy for a long poop at 7:22. Constipation is no laughing matter, it hurts. 😂

[@simonhales631]

He just didn't want to try and take off again with the extra weight!

[@fatherof2710]

Loving this! Binge watching the whole series! So cool!

[@modus_ponens]

Lol, gas running out on final glide was hilarious 😄

[@hollyharris1874]

Food! That ferocious doggo gonna get you tonight! 🤣

[@ToddBerthiaume-m6e]

Congratulations to you guys. I’m looking forward to the next video. I’ve been flying for three years now and have never taking any kind of trip. After watching this, I think I need to.

[@csmith9008]

We've been waiting for #3. Thanks!

[@Royalchess1]

Mark and crew, WHAT A MAGNIFICENT RIDE! THIS WOULD SURELY BE ON MY BUCKET LIST!

[@baritone_vocalist]

I bet flying over mountains can be sketchy but it still looks cool!

[@sailingpacificstar]

That’s absolute gold that he makes it to the fuel station! Loving the videos, great editing!

[@koenmldr]

Really enjoying this adventure series. Thanks for taking us with you! 👍

[@deezynar]

The place you stopped at at the end, is one of the gas stations Tucker Gott stopped at on his 2nd day. That was a huge piece of terrain to cover in one day. You guys were cruising.

[@CalebJohnsonlivingca]

Our trip was pretty close to Icarus plus 1000 miles.

[@FoodKrumbs]

I live in Grantsville just north of that depot where they store explosives. We hear them detonate stuff all the time.

[@JTWardle]

Cheers 🎉 Great day of flying! You crossed right over property I own in Cedar City. I flew that Delta airport with ol Woody Hayes. High desert winds can smack that wing! Love flying Utah. The Stansbury Island at GSL you flew over has some great soaring ridges too. Looks like your last stop near Idaho is right by another Paragliding site. Ahh those mountains are amazing… thanks for taking me back to Utah…flying paradise ❤🎉

[@ofermorag]

Outstanding filming and story telling. Thank you for bringing me along. I’ve shared with my friends and look forward to your upcoming videos and the conversations they’ll generate with my friends. Best to you and yours.

[@Mounta9n]

The series was amazing! I haven't read the comments to find out why you didn't end it but whatever lol it was still awesome.

[@MrBrandoncal]

Much love cuz! Let us know if you ever end up near Tahoe/Reno.

[@Trike.]

Mark , wow , just wow, the video footages was perfect , the close up shots showed the atitudes you was at , big wide and up close from thousands of feet . I loved the scenery . Too bad you didn't foot drag Trevor steels camp while over Utah. lol

[@MarkHuneycutt]

I think timing or route didn't work out. We were talking with him

[@BallisticAero]

Ohhhhhhh and even the third episode?!? KEEP UP MARK

[@sethswheelhouse]

This reminds me so much of Tucker's Icarus race and I absolutely love it. The views are insane. Jealous as hell.

[@MrBigjoecincy]

I think this is better than tuckers videos for a lot of different reasons. Number one being they are just doing this to do it. No race or anything.

[@thisisus.504]

Sitting in my back garden in Bournemouth UK, comfortably watching this amazing film!! 😊😊

[@FlyingCraic]

This is such a epic, can't wait to see the next one. Amazing scenery

[@warrenkral6562]

4 hr flight to land within 100 yards of the gas station is just wild.

[@carlsmith2826]

Great job guys👍

[@BSmithPPG]

Pretty awesome guys. Keep up the great adventure!

[@MarkLoves2Fly]

Epic crossing! Way to glide that distance!

[@MarkHuneycutt]

That was crazy!

[@dkumpula001]

This was really nice content to watch, Mark. Your tone is comfortable to listen to for the 22min installment. Seventeen gusting twenty-five is WAY more than I'd ever launch at. Nice work all three of you.

[@sgtpickles1319]

18:30 This is the same gas station Tucker Gott used during the Icarus Race 2017. Love the vids.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Yes it is. Funny thing is, I had no idea until I put these videos out.

[@tango_sierra8608]

These aren’t long enough lol absolutely loving this adventure

[@jonnomcintosh8336]

I just watched this for the second time, epic!! Can’t wait for the next video Mark 😁

[@Para_Ninja]

Love this series, great editing and soundtrack.

[@greglaney6317]

Great video. I can't believe you called out a bro on a poo break! 🙂 The scenery is amazing and the experience it takes to make this kind of journey is evident. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlexLinebrink]

What an amazing journey! Can't wait to see the rest. Thank you for sharing!

[@simonhales631]

Inspiring trip, epic content well put together! Thank you for reminding me I need to get off my ass and do some more cross country! Glad Chuck didn't have to walk after the epic glide! Looking forward to the next installment!

[@lawdog25]

Thanks for taking us along with you guys! Keep it coming!

[@raphaeloalves]

What a video!!!! Congratulations for this great flight and video! And… Thanks for sharing your experience! I appreciate it!

[@jethchannel]

Very cool, first time seeing the content. Love the adventure!

Thanks!

[@moosespeak6140]

Absolutely amazing and thank you for sharing your adventures

Awesome adventure gents.

[@carieannpayne7091]

What a trip! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@davidmack8813]

That's Awesome Mark. Great day outstanding ground speed. Thanks God for tailwind.

[@Eymos_Shenanigans]

Oh my gosh.!! I was rolling when you guys were landing and celebrating. Then you said, I’m not walking with you though. 🤣🤣 couldn’t stop laughing but sad for your amigo. ☺️ love your content brother. 👌🏼🙏🏼

[@TheRedMenaceR]

This series is incredible and you guys are amazing. Stay safe out there

[@justinremund2718]

Mark, your videos are awesome!!! But, please be careful up there. It’s too bad nobody has come up with a way to cut the canopy free and parachute down in an emergency situation. Idea? Also, the video where you flew in to that abandoned amusement park was awesome. I wish you didn’t have to rush though. I can’t wait to see where you go next.

[@artoodeetoo3064]

Loved seeing more than the flying, the logistics side is interesting and cool to see, people helping you and whatnot. I always wonder if regular pilots ask questions like regular people. Digging this series dude, next video in a couple weeks I assume. Can't wait! You guys are crazy in the best possible way

[@XylophoneAtomique]

Insane ! Thanks for sharing, love some good adventuring videos :)

[@SpiderRL]

what you guys are doing is super cool, I wanna do this one day

[@jbtransport64]

Amazing experience Mark. Keep a look out for tension knots before speed bar.

[@CalebJohnsonlivingca]

We aren't using bar. These are foot rests to make the long hours more comfortable.

[@ronalvey103]

These videos are EPIC. Well done!

[@Mounta9n]

Such an awesome video dude

[@brianboys9015]

Excellent.

[@Rebar77_real]

You guys are nuts, in a good way!

[@bobc77783336]

that gas station you stopped at and camped was it the Sublett Fuel Stop gas station is 36.1 miles from where I live So you guys have a safe flight also here in Idaho its not illegal to land a light plane on the road and pull it into a gas station for gas

[@VanningAintNoJoke]

Dude what an inincredible journey!!!! So cool!!!!

[@davidmack8813]

Mark the level of plan and hanging it out there; Way to go stud. What was your limbs leg after sitting in paramotor did you cramp or go numb any pain it's like a motorcycle long ride you cant get up and get out of position for long periods. Great milage times is it bivy vs tent weight that gave you more fuel left I legs of flight or was it motor power plant and wing? How did you got better fuel economy?

[@shanewyman9419]

What an awesome adventure, can't wait for the next video!

[@fraser5032]

Oh I don't want to know what a slight success is 😂. Great series. Been watching ur paramotor vids since 2017. You are perhaps the best most genuine person in this segment. You had my vote for winner of icarus years ago if you entered.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Thanks for watching so long! I would have liked to do it but I'm also pretty cheap. I can fly across the country for less money than it takes to do the Icarus

[@awidiono]

Amazing flight. Can't wait the next episode.

[@xunorus]

I can feel the joy of that. awesoome!

[@spitfire155k2]

DUDE! Too funny, I’ve actually stopped at that gas station before! 😂😂😂😂

[@Silverphox13]

I'm strongly considering something like this myself. Probably from California to Rhode Island. Though lack of experience, planning, and companions suggest I probably shouldn't.

[@remerglobal]

This is such a great series!!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

This is one hell of a trip & you ended up in my neck of the woods, I fly a gyro in SE Idaho. I presumed you flew up I-15 but I don't recognize that gas station, where was that?

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Sublett fuel stop in Malta, Idaho. I just left them a review. Everyone go like it!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

@@MarkHuneycutt Ok, thanks. You went up I-84.

[@AlessandroMasiero]

Congrats from Italy!

[@cq7415]

Good one, thanks.

[@tunnelvisiontelevision4274]

Great vid!

[@enmodo]

So if you had no headwind what would your max range be with the fuel load you carry? Also do you ever stop to ride an obvious thermal for extra free altitude or is it just not worth it?

[@joshuacannon66]

Alright! Been waiting for it!

[@adrnln_jnke]

Really liking this series, Its getting me interested in paramotoring. Are you a 60 pilot or a crewchief? I assume you're also in the ANG?

[@MarkHuneycutt]

I was active duty 8 years. CW2. Flew blackhawks. The patch was from Korea. You should get into it. I was always flying helis, wondering where i'd be flying paramotors later that day

[@DAS-Videos]

That was epic.

[@ckl5822]

Good stuff guys !!

[@Blinkman24]

I wore the same flight helmet when I was a Uh-60 Blackhawk crewchief in the army. I was aircrew for many years and life after the military has become boring over the years. this type of Aviation seems to fill the void but the collapsible fabric wing has me on the fence, I want to get into this though, YOLO

[@MarkHuneycutt]

It's not dangerous. We took it to an extreme on these cross countries. Most people fly the early AM and late PM to avoid turbulence. I was a UH60 pilot so that's how I acquired mine.

[@shawnkay5462]

Thats hilarious. Peeing from that high up. 😂

[@heartsky]

Epic. Estimating the fuel to within 4.8 miles, nice.

[@jasongrinnell1986]

This is awesome

[@Mr.Unbreakable83]

Do you guys have radio so you can monitor air traffic ?

[@michaelbartlett1589]

Great stuff !!

[@canyonhansen7211]

Great stuff!!!!!!

[@richardkunkle9924]

Well Done

[@PaulTrippy-bj8ho]

Hey bro, can you go to Antarctica? thanks

[@michael102387]

Hell yeah man I want to get a para motor

[@C3darCr33k]

Are there any physical effects from being at altitude for that long each day?

[@S1k18]

20:45 how far did you guys walk for fuel then?🤣

[@danntan9284]

What do you put in there other than gas for each time refueling? Thank you

[@MarkHuneycutt]

2 stroke oil

[@Itsmescoots]

Do you bring supplemental oxygen for flying above 10k feet or do you handle the lower oxygen pretty well?

[@MarkHuneycutt]

I handle it well. Above 14k for extended periods of time is where oxygen is very important.

[@dabrokest530]

Will there be an east to west?

[@willreed1411]

How do you deal with other air traffic and they deal with you?

[@CalebJohnsonlivingca]

We agree to not hit them if they don't hit us.

[@blakegoeman]

More!!!

And I thought it was rain... CALEB! LOL.

So awesome !

OMG, I had like 3 big, belly laughs this vid. Can't stop thinking of Chuck pooping.

[@josecaudillo5897]

A 4.8 mile glide ? With no gas cool

[@MesaperProductions]

Just got to get this off my chest. How are you flying unsupported when you're buying gasoline and groceries along the way?

[@MarkHuneycutt]

'cause we need gas to make our motors go and groceries to make our bodies go.

[@MesaperProductions]

@@MarkHuneycutt sure, but that's not "unsupported". That's like the exact opposite of "unsupported".

[@MarkHuneycutt]

@@MesaperProductions Unsupported has a different meaning in this sport than one you may be thinking of. It's impossible to fly a paramotor for 9 days holding your own food and gasoline if that's where you're going with this. What's your definition of unsupported for paramotor pilots?

[@MesaperProductions]

@@MarkHuneycutt I don't have one separately for paramotor. If it's an "industry term" then fair enough.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

@@MesaperProductions unsupported in paramotoring undefined but generally a supported trip would be having someone in a chase vehicle the whole time in case you need things like food, gas, spare propellers/parts, an RV/Van to sleep in, medical attention etc. We had none of that and pre planned as best we could to set ourselves up for success. Problems arising would be dealt with as they came. When someone defines each term for our sport, then we can get into whether it was or wasn't. I'm proud of the trip either way

[@bjornfoss8424]

Good thing you guys didnt need Diesel and got to keep your legs.

[@jf8138]

You went over the lame side of utah. You need to go over capitol reef, and canyonlands and stuff

[@MarkHuneycutt]

let me redo it
