Met by snow in MONTANA - Mexico to Canada on Paramotors Day 8

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Thanks Chuck Edwall for the quality photography I sometimes throw in the video! He flew the whole trip with a full size camera and nice lens 🤯. That's extra weight, less space, and something expensive to break. Way to go!

[@chuckaeronut]

Thanks for including them Mark. Your videos are just such top notch stuff. I’m saving every single one for my forever-keeping on my HDDs!

[@MarkHuneycutt]

@@chuckaeronut Your big camera was probably the reason for running a football field length on that Challis launch 😂

I love this series. Those high altitude launches with the heavy gear are especially impressive.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

thank ya

[@Wheeliedevil]

Add how warm you get with all gear and clothes before and during take-off. Then you get cold in the air.

[@Furious_Dihan]

I'm hooked to the series. I watched all 5 videos at one sitting. This feels like a fantasy to watch. I wish I'm able to do it one day.😍😄😍

[@markburke921]

How this doesn’t have a larger audience I’ll never understand! Can’t wait to try paramotor myself! Paint me inspired! Great visuals wish I was with you guys I would feel so free ❤

[@DZig]

mad respect for your piloting skills. Many people can fly a paramotor, few would attempt this cross country on one.

[@paulforsythe2325]

Beautiful series of excellent cinematic and adventure storytelling .

[@stargazer3212]

2:58 nice peaks. Loving the series. I am glad you guys seem to know what to do. Loving the views of the Mountains as well.

[@Larry-325]

Mark awesome video. Incredible scenery and it probably doesn’t look half as good as if you were there! 👍👍

[@jwramp]

Using the finger-on-the-relief-map method for showing the ground you’re covering is awesome. So much terrain

[@jero37]

I don't know why, but just casually landing at gas stations in a paramotor to fuel up and then just running into the sky in a nearby field, it just has this sort of childlike mischief to it despite being totally legit. I definitely want to try paramotor flying now...

[@jonrashleigh3533]

Love this adventure! Your flight track shows you flying right over my house/LZ on the final leg near Kalispell. Excited to see the next episode!! Fantastic filming and narrations 🪂❤️

[@DarthVapor151]

Hey @MarkHuneycutt can you please show in a video on how to mount that feet/leg holder from APCO? I Finally got it but never got around to fixing it to my Dudek Comfort harness. I would appreciate your help, as there is no guide on it online and you are the only person I saw who uses this

[@skychaser59]

Kudos to you guys for having the most interesting Paramotor channel on KZbin.

i grew up in that part of the country, one time it snowed in July. montana weather be craaaaazy

Amazing trip! Says something about the motors too for such a long trip!

[@devin93e89]

Hell yeah I'm glad I caught this video about an hour after I got off work! Really enjoying watching you guys live your life. I hope you have the opportunity to do more Great adventures like this!

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Very challenging area to fly and you guys are doing great!!! I have driven through all the spots in this video many times travelling from Canada to Vegas, racing in Phoenix and general road trips. Can’t wait to see where the rest of the journey leads. I hope in Bonners Ferry Idaho as I spent some time there bc of a girl I was dating there AND because I have spent a lot of time flying in Creston just across the border there. Thanks Mark!!✌️🇨🇦

[@chadmurray4934]

That's super fucking rad seeing you guys flying in my neighborhood, I've been to that airport many times with my kid but never got to fly out of there. Long time ago before my instructor left the state we were going to try launching from that airport but my instructor at the time felt like the older dudes there were running us out so we never got to fly from there...... that was back in 2019, then my instructor left the state and I haven't got to fly yet😢 I did the stupid thing and bought all the equipment from them and it's just been sitting in my garage. Would have been super cool to meet up with you guys just to shoot the shit! Been enjoying your videos for some time now, it was nice seeing one from my neck of the woods!

[@ChrisGlendinning]

I really enjoyed watching those. Something I have lusted after for quite a few years, but not sure my apprehension of heights would suit me taking up the sport. 😂. I was getting a little nervous just watching the film. 😁. You are so lucky to have such large expanses of ground to cover. Here in Scotland you can only ever be a maximum of 57 miles from the sea at any point. So as you can imagine, the weather changes pretty much constantly. Great watch, we all need more though, you have got us all addicted. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@cq7415]

Great video. Beautiful area for sure. Darby area is so neat. Been there several times. Wait till you get to Flathead Lake, really pretty. What a great trip you guys are on. Come over to beautiful Joseph, Oregon and fly sometime. The valley and mountains are fabulous. Thanks for sharing.

[@nicko5945]

Oh man, I was hoping you would make it up to eureka in this one. Can’t wait for the next one. It is indeed cold up here. We had a week with lows in the -40s in January. The wind chill was in the -60s. Granted I’m up in the mountains, but it was painfully cold. So luckily you didn’t attempt the flight then haha.

[@SandiMoore-c8i]

This was beautiful scenery, but that’s a little chilly. You guys are doing great. Enjoy your fun and your life. You don’t get too many chances doing what you’re doing. Great jobs.💜🦋

[@brutusbarnabus8098]

[@rbtkraisee7380]

I'm so enjoying this series! It has been really awesome to see so much of the country and Thanks to all three of you for making it so enjoyable. I can't wait to try something equivalent myself next year, but watching the struggles you had taking off there, I'm definitely seeing the advantages of a trike for this sort of long-distance adventure ;) Looking forward to the final part!

[@1hornet1]

Thanks for sharing. This series has been incredible so far. I make sure I watch these episodes with undivided attention they are so good! Blue skies man!

[@2cqql1]

Thanks for taking us on this journey, Mark. The videos and descriptions have been excellent. I took a lot of that north journey on motorcycle, so this altitude perspective has been epic!! Careful! Looking for the last leg!

[@AdventureHunter.]

Mate this series has been absolutely fantastic. Stunning views, great shots, engaging edit, and such a cool journey you guys got to do! I will absolutely be looking to experience this in the future. Keep up the great work!

[@vikkihintz9134]

These shots were SPECTACULAR; worthy of National Geographic footage and documentary material. PROBLEM though; we still have lots of popcorn left as you urge us to prepare beforehand so ya'll will just have to continue on to Alaska!

[@artoodeetoo3064]

Doing this whole trip because you wanted to, not because you needed to is so cool. Not sure how you follow this up, but it's been a great watch man. Should turn all this footage into a movie you can watch in one sitting, with some commentary from everyone, I'd watch the shit outta that

[@jonnomcintosh8336]

This is an amazing video, and what an adventure. For now, anyways, I will have to live vicariously through your experiences, I'll get there, it just takes time. 21 degrees, wtf!!! Keep up the good work my friend, Really hoping to fly with you in the near future, if not this season, maybe next season, when I'm more seasoned. take care, be safe.

[@monvalleytruth5111]

Absolutely loved these videos. You should go from coast to coast next that would be pretty awesome or follow the coast.

Darby, Mt is where Yellowstone is filmed. The Chief Joseph ranch, which doubles as the Dutton ranch, is on the outskirts of town off of HWY 93. A few miles south of town. Beautiful countryside.

[@bobflyman]

What a great adventure, and really nice edit, good job Mark. I'd have been scared sh.tless about rotor flying around those peaks at the start, but I guess you were totally confident there was no wind. Didn't like the look of the landing options in Montana in the snowy parts in the event of an engine out 😳. Question is, what next ? 😮. Ps. I wish you guys could get into Centigrade temperatures, 25 degs is positively warm. 😅

[@hollyharris1874]

Awesome series so far! The music isn't for me - what? I'm not old. Ooooo, did someone say "a tea party?"!

[@micahnuckols5046]

You need a foam stress ball to keep circulation in your hands during the colder weather. Once your hands get strong enough you can use a tennis ball!

[@davidmack8813]

Appreciate the altitude information Montana has the coldest weather of all the states. Disconcerting random loss of power to your paramotor is this your first time flying in snow? Sounds weird but pee tube much necessary where did you find it? I know medical hospital brand are WAY TOO Adhesive . Nuff said it's things like this that make long flight do-able. What kind of fuel are you running in your 2 cycle mix? Ie high octane or even Avegas

[@MarkHuneycutt]

I've flown and launched in snow. Got the pee tube on amazon from a pee tube/bag combo. Running high octane pump gas with ethanol or avgas when landing at airports

[@davidmack8813]

@MarkHuneycutt cool yeah as one would say a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, far be it from me to stand in his way while he's doing it. . . What a great adventure Mark I love it pretty great timing it's amazing as you get up to Idaho & into Montana how beautiful it gets. May angels look out for you as you fly. Could you imagine if you were way back in Kittyhawk if Orvile and Wilbur were to meet you up in the air strapped into your paramotor on one of their early flights to look over & see you circling that motor powered glider of their's I'd love to hear that conversation afterwards, what the hay? What's that it's a man but he's flying a, uh oh uh it's a motor tied to a back pack sort of boy is it fast look up in the sky it a man no it's a bird he's super , man.

[@JTWardle]

Absolutely excellent adventure flying! Beautiful country and lovely people everywhere! I’ve been searching for where you mention or write the wing size you went with, couldn’t find it! Do you mind sharing your wing size? Cheers!!

[@MarkHuneycutt]

20m sir

[@JTWardle]

@@MarkHuneycutt Thanks!🙏 Thought you had some speed. I think 20 works nicely at high altitude. I had 20M on AWM. Cheers!!

Know Polson well.....have friends who live there. That's a neat little airport right there at the south end of Flathead Lake. I've seen paramotors coming in and out of there a few times.

[@stevenallen2530]

I always wanted to see Idaho and Montana, thanks for the epic camera footage. I am wondering how many hrs you have logged on paramotors to date? How dose someone get into the sport without crashing while taking off for the first time.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Not sure how many hours. Started I'm 2014. You go to a flight school

[@portnuefflyer]

On a 1600 mile Pterodactyl ultralight solo XC back in '83, I landed in West Yellowstone MT on July 3 rd. When I woke up in my pup tent the next morning, there was 3 " of snow! Challis? That's my neck of the woods..., I have places above 8K I nowadays land my LSA plane at and camp out. Lost Trail crossing coming up! Much respect for doing this unsupported by a ground crew, like real pilots! Buying Avgas sucks, leaded, and expensive. I fly with a folding Montague e bike and folding trailer, I can 13 gallons of mogas that way, as getting gas is always a big hassle, and i haven't burned any Avgas in over 15 years, flying about 200 hours a year. I had no idea foot launched paragliders had that good of performance, great!

[@Turbo_Tastic]

great editing, nice choice of music and well put together, what a great adventure, amazing way to see the Earth, close up and slow and no traffic. What time of year was this, how long ago? Oh okay I see from your website, April 10th. Did you see the imaginary lines separating "Canada" and the "USA"?

[@fexdammit]

[@melsuarez]

When I rode Motorcycles in the winter I would use baggies around my toes to keep the effects of the wind sucking off energy to a minimum

[@PacificRepairRestoration]

Could you use a boosted board or some small battery powered skates to help launch when you are on pavement? Instead of running with all that gear! And could you send this to The Vegas Dome people. I think they should play this series and sell tickets and when the people walk out side you guys could be flying above and news crews would be there and then you could land and announce you now have enough money to do a Seattle to Adak Alaska trip. Lol

[@elementneon]

Can't use a boosted board, they went out of business a while ago 😜. Crazy how a company that defined the market could go out of business like that, I had been looking into purchasing one and then was confused why I couldn't find them for sale. Really I wanted one of their scooters since they sounded like some of the better built ones ever made.

5.49 you are using leaded fuel?
