SCANNING THE KICKING HORSE CANYON WITH A HELICOPTER - FLIGHT VLOG!

Every week we fly from Revelstoke to Golden, British Columbia to scan the Kicking Horse Canyon in a Bell 206 Helicopter. We're monitoring the slope stabilization on the Kicking Horse highway, as the new highway is constructed.
This is a new dive into vlogging to showcase the views and commercial work we do with helicopters in the mountains of southern British Columbia. Follow along for the journey!

[@trapy3550]

This is just shocking! How can you make this your flight Vlog? Like, where is your room for improvement? ;D Love the camera angles and the scenery, mindblowing. Great storytelling and such a good edit! Im no professional, but I would believe you if this was your 100th Vlog. Everything was just flowing and your commentary in between really made this feel so natural and professional. Oh and, FUEL INJECTION!!!! Eyegasmic and Eargasmic video. Really looking forward to more stuff! :) Gotta find this place in the simulator now.....

[@EricPJohnstone]

Thank you! It’ll be easy to find on the simulator, this is just east of Golden, British Columbia, CYGE.

[@davidg3378]

I actually thought you had a big fan base and lots of videos when I found your channel. The videos you make are up with some of the high popular KZbinrs so you deserve a subscriber from me hope this is successful for you and you can make lots more vids.

[@EricPJohnstone]

Cheers David, I appreciate that! Next ones coming in the next couple days!

[@der_fail_x5351]

[@stevecrerar1993]

Sweeet!... I grew up in Golden and flew that route many times. I'd love to get back there some day.

[@John.Tolkamp]

Loved it! Scenery, flying and learning new things 👍👌

[@EricPJohnstone]

Thanks John, more to come! Hope you're doing well after your surgery.

[@alexmiller2267]

[@spacetracer]

[@EricPJohnstone]

Stomping around in your backyard dude.

[@EricPJohnstone]

Thank you my guy!

[@tanagra2]

Always wander which aircraft you prefer to fly. I will go with orange. (Great video thanks).

[@EricPJohnstone]

Any of these honestly!

[@pitrow66]

Great video, great scenery. Well done.

[@EricPJohnstone]

Cheers thanks!

[@PierreNadeau-qk8sw]

Très beau vidéo. Merci Éric. Je me rappelle très bien de Golden BC! J'ai passé environ 10 heures à faire du pouce lors de mon voyage à travers le Canada lorsque j'avais 18 ans. Pas facile de "décoller" de Golden! Si j'avais eu un hélicoptère cela aurait été plus vite. Very nice video. Thank you Eric. I remember Golden BC very well! I spent about 10 hours hitchhiking on my trip across Canada when I was 18. Not easy to "take off" from Golden! If I had a helicopter it would have been faster.

[@EricPJohnstone]

Merci Pierre! Non, cest un aeropart tres petit.

[@williamholmes6179]

Nice vid! I worked on those big bridges all summer,, there over the kicking horse beautiful ! Keep up the good work!

[@EricPJohnstone]

Cheers Will! Crazy whats happening in that canyon!

[@aleccowan]

Fire content . Where can I buy merch?

[@EricPJohnstone]

❤ merch dropping, stay tuned

[@dougsrepair1060]

Great career if you can get it. Good content. I would be interested in how the survey actually operates as well.

[@kristamarie514]

Ohmigosh I know him! Eric, so stoked on this, I’m learning heaps! Congrats, mate! 👑🚁🏔️

[@EricPJohnstone]

OMG I know her haha. Thanks Krista, I'll keep you well informed

[@benediktsaurer381]

I love the 206! Hope you company is keeping her for many years to come!

[@EricPJohnstone]

No plans to pull them offline for a while!

[@benediktsaurer381]

@@EricPJohnstone Awesome. How many do you have in number?

[@antebellum45]

Great video, love the 206. Doubt anyone would be offended if you left the music out, and just kept the engine and the various flying sounds in the video👍🏻

[@tomwolf9432]

Well, the second VLOG from you I watched … they turn out to be a real treat for me since my passion for helicopters and the outdoors could hardly be put into a more entertaining and enjoyable plus professional setting as this!! As somebody else already said, hard to believe you are just starting out on this VLOG thing, great talent also here! Pls keep it coming, can‘t wait for the next one!!!

[@EricPJohnstone]

Cheers thank you!

[@muzzadventures]

Awesome video! How are you able the get the footage from behind the shoulder so smooth and stabilised?

[@EricPJohnstone]

Just the in camera stabilization from the go pros these days!

[@stabila9706]

What sensor are you using?

[@MrWhatis]

do you do tours? would love to see from the air.

[@stevehamilton3181]

After recently reading an NTSB report into the fatal crash of a firefighting Chinook in Idaho last year that was caused by something as simple as an iPad falling into the footwell and getting jammed in the pedals, I was quite surprised to see a loose water bottle and bag in your video. But what do I know?

[@EricPJohnstone]

Sure, thats a great point, the Chinook crash was a wild set of circumstances based on something we all consider to be a pretty safe setup.

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Hi Eric. Jerry here. New sub. I live in golden and fly pg and powered paraglider. I have a channel if you care to check it out. Cool shots and loved the flight through the Rogers. Would be really cool if you could incorporate in flight vlog, not sure how you could hook that up. Look forward to the next one! Cheers

[@EricPJohnstone]

Hey Jerry, thanks! What do you mean by in flight vlog?

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Hey man. Oh, well, while you picked good music for the in flight portions of the video, another thing would to hook up a mic that works in your headset so the noise is minimized and then you can talk to us about what your doing or just general chat. There are many who are doing this in aviation. I’m not sure how they make it work though. Check out channels like Trent Palmer or missionary bush pilot or pilot yellow. (heli pilot Misha) Cheers

[@EricPJohnstone]

@@jerrydelyea5820 Hey Jerry, definitely agreed. I had one in the mail while I was filming this video, but my latest video I just posted does have cockpit audio if you want to have a watch!
