Paracamping Adventure - Paramotor NC - Episode 33

[@David65702]

Pretty amazing you got all that stuff in that small duffel bag. Good thing the monsters didn't get you LOL.

[@daleplus1345]

I'm glad you showed the first takeoff from the road, where the wing didn't come up good. And for sharing what was going on in your head, your apprehensions. And your camping kit details. I hope to do that some day, but I might go lighter and call my wife to drop off dinner, lol!

[@ParamotorNC]

Thanks Dale! Haha, not a bad idea to have support for a good meal.

[@TheDro]

almost became the cob at the end there lol

[@Toeslam10]

Excellent outdoor experience

[@Mayday12345]

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@gaetanproductions]

NIce video Ben. Nicely filmed and edited

[@BartBerry]

awesome !!!! kudos man, i think you brought more useful things for less weight than I did on my paracamping trip for sure... thanks for bringing us along and sharing your adventure ;)

[@WillFly]

Awesome journey Ben, enjoyed watching! I've often times wanted to intentionally land out at a strange field and take back off again but haven't done it yet. Hey glad the corn is okay. 😄

[@pinevalleyoutdoors3788]

WOW!!! I need a cage like yours that will break and repair itself at 1:19 lol

[@WOLLY45]

Pozdrowienia z Polski. Fajny pomysł na kemping.

[@ParamotorNC]

Dziękuję Ci

[@PPGShane]

I’m so jealous been wanting to do this for sometime now. Spring I’m going to do this for sure. Thanks for putting a fire under me and making me wanting to do this even more now.

[@ParamotorNC]

Thanks! I learned a lot. I can’t wait for the next one.

[@shawncrossfield9219]

Well done not a easy launch

[@rushattaichin3433]

Last year I flew 40 and 120 kilometers. this year, too, I plan to fly somewhere. I have a single cargo trike, it holds a spare 20 liters canister, tent, sleeping bag, 2 pillows, gas burner, kettle and more. live in Bashkiria, in russia.

[@ParamotorNC]

Awesome. I love the fly and camp adventure. You can carry more with a trike!

[@Muirtty]

Looks like fun. Nice job bringing your wing down at the end. I like how you are OK with being alone :)

[@michaelmartin5942]

Nice! I did my first PPG camping trip in 2020 in the Sierras. We had to hike back out due to one of our teammates not being able to get airborne because of the extra gear weight, but it was still a blast! I appreciated your "leave no trace" effort.....wish more people were as considerate of the environment. Thanks for the great content!

[@ParamotorNC]

Hi Michael. Thanks for sharing about your trip. I am already planning another para camping trip for this spring. Can't wait. Ben

[@lt.dansparamotoradventures2592]

Paracamping is on my bucket list. Looks like fun.

[@Toyland-nw5vv]

Amazing journey 👍

[@YankeeinSC1]

[@4HST]

Beautiful!

[@rupman27isback]

[@richardpoe1775]

[@GoFlyBodi629]

Cool video and camping out adventure flight Ben! Pretty amazing considering you did that with an Atom 80.

[@SharkyintheSky]

It was fun coming along and seeing your paracamp adventure. I landed in the corn before, it's not that bad :' ). Subbed

[@MeatTheBible]

Pretty cool. Has FREEDOM written all over it. You may have heard a group of us plan to visit Pilot Moutain the weekend for the 4th. Consider this an invite. Great job again.

[@ParamotorNC]

Thank you. Yes, I was added to the group. But sadly I am traveling out of state that weekend. Enjoy. That sound so fun. - Ben

[@kensmith979]

Looks like a fun adventure. I want to para-camp sometime.

[@IvoBELGIUM]

great vid

[@c130dave1]

I used to live in Matthews. I'm from Rockingham. I want to get into the sport but it will be another year. Nice video man....

[@ParamotorNC]

I appreciate it. Yeah, Matthews is very close to where I fly. Look forward to seeing you in the skies. - Ben

[@sirrabo8804]

Excellent video

[@HendraWSN77]

Very amazing video.. successful greetings from paramotor Indonesia

[@richardcastaway7683]

Great stuff man

[@ParamotorNC]

Oh, appreciate that. Having fun out there.

[@cookncamp]

Ben now you got me wanting to set up a paramount trip. Great video as usual.

[@ParamotorNC]

Thanks Mark. Do it!!

[@FightNightNews]

Amazing video! Great job!

[@ParamotorNC]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Huliaho]

Hey fellow North Carolinian! Really dig your vids, but next time, you should get some twilight and dark footage. It really helps with the viewers immersion of camping. Anyway I'm subbing, and take care. Goodbye from some rural mountainside west of Asheville.

[@ParamotorNC]

Thank you. I think you are right.

[@ikay2102]

Its more like jungle paracamping than anything else 🤣 Nice video Ben.

[@ParamotorNC]

Pretty much!

[@carlosangarita1432]

Simply Amazing! I just suscribed!

[@shawnnafzger6223]

Very nice Job with the video and sharing your thoughts throughout, dont let the failed launch get to ya as it happens to everyone at one time or another with enough flying under there belt :) when ya did launch it was nice and smooth :D Great Work

[@roberteshelman5917]

I want to do that one day. I bet it would be a ton of fun with a small group of PPG pilots.

[@ParamotorNC]

Totally agree! The adventure would be even more fun when shared with other pilots. - Ben

[@TravistheFool]

I have that stove...its great

[@ranjayksingh]

Thanks for the nice motivational Video, can you share the camera used? make model etc. How able to capture without showing stick?

[@ParamotorNC]

Hi, I use the 360° camera GoPro Max. The software automatically edit out the selfie stick

[@csiets]

playing at 1080p for me

[@justharryjohnson7250]

New sub. Great video and nice adventure

[@ParamotorNC]

Thanks for the sub!

[@PAPilot53]

Yeah, baby! Way to get off the ground!

[@dale6510]

Hi - what part of NC are you based in? Interested in taking up the sport so could maybe catch you guys for a chat post flight? Thanks

[@ParamotorNC]

I most often fly in Indian Trail NC near Charlotte. [e-mail]

[@dillonmech7206]

good job failed takeoff means try again, try not to chop lines, RIGHT!

[@HotButteredProductions]

Looking good Ben! Reminds me I need to start working out, woof.

[@ParamotorNC]

Ha. Look forward to flying with you!

[@turkeyphant]

How do you mount the invisible selfie stick so you don't drop it?

[@toshanjames9589]

Hi Ben, awesome journey ! what size wing and cruise rpm?

[@ParamotorNC]

So, I fly the 24m Ozone Spyder 3. And I am flying the Atom80. I can't believe I am saying this, but I don't know my cruise amp. I'll look at my tachometer next week and reply. BTW, I have new motor on the way... - Ben

[@helpmefixthis9117]

Make sure you know where you're landing if anybody owns the land

[@Adventureawaits_1776]

Awesome, can't wait to paracamp myself! Are you going to moonshiners? I'd like to meet and fly with you one day!

[@ParamotorNC]

Yes, I will be at Moonshiners! See you there. - Ben

[@GlennTupper]

Nice video and nice getaway bag! How did you like spending the night out there?

[@ParamotorNC]

Thanks. It was a great first camp. Looking forward to many more.

[@infoadmin9317]

You running so fast before take off how much weight the paramotor?

[@ParamotorNC]

I weigh about, 175, the motor weighs about 50, the camp gear is about 11, and there is some additional weigh for fuel and clothes. I probably pushed my combination of wing and motor to just about the limit (for my comfort level).

[@unabel987]

I'm in Yadkin NC, We sould meetup sometime and fly together sir.

[@ParamotorNC]

Absolutely. I’d love to. [e-mail]

[@davidis7]

Did you launch trimmed in?

[@ParamotorNC]

Yes, I did launch trimmed in.

[@davidis7]

@@ParamotorNC thanks. Great video. I fly too, but have never camped. I hope to this year. Thanks for posting !

[@matthewlee2686]

Do yourself a favor and buy a hammock tent.

[@ParamotorNC]

I think you are right! - Ben
