Living the dream! Flying to a camping site, any camping site, makes for a great time. Even if the weather gets bad, you are having an adventure worth remembering. Cheers from Winnipeg.

You returned to comp on the island on the St. John River down behind the home where I grew up. It made me a little homesick for Carleton County. Thanks for the video.

Well how cool is this for a camping trip! 🤙🏻

Yall living a lot of folks dreams. Thanks for the video.

Please do more camping on islands with the ultralight! It's super inspiring!

I actually enjoy the wind noise. Quiet flying is relaxing.

Well that makes me wanna go drag my airplane out and head to sand bars. Thanks I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Best camera angle and position I've ever seen in flight videos!

I like the structure of the yellow glider more than the blue one - the tail wheel instead of the front ...🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲😋😋😋

Amazing flight footage. Looks like you had a great trip. Thanks for sharing this. :)

I love your editing on the 360 camera. That takes a lot of time and effort. Much appreciated!

Come down to Australia we’ll show you real island 🏝 camping 🏕 great to see you all having a fantastic time...✌️

Superb video many thanks for sharing with us all,lovely country for aviating.

Great videography, Matt. Thanks.

Very nice camera work ! Thanks for the ride.

Cool shot of the nose wheel/rudder control on final landing at the end.

I think Matt is a very experienced camper. I need to go back and get something, so while I'm gone set up camp. Edit: THANK YOU for not adding mid-roll ads.

Good call on the bannock, and it looked good. Outstanding job on filming & editing, Matt. I can't count the many fishing/camping trips where I'd forgotten the bug dope, lol.

Beautiful shots!

Yes sir! Still fly in camping indeed. Great channel!

I appreciate your taking tome in editing to switch back and forth between planes. Good start to video.

You guys are living my childhood dreams right now!😊

That's what it all about. Thanks for posting.

thanks for posting info about the gliders in the description! that made my search simpler

Amazing video. Looks like great fun.

looks like a lot of fun, thx for sharing

With our ultralight planes all around the world, we all dream of the same thing..land on an island and make a fire camp

Great footage! Keep it coming 👍😁

ate watching you guys fly makes me wish I was 30 years younger I would be during that in a heart beat keep it up hint maybe some more places to see

this was really really awesome. Great landings and take off.s

This makes me happy just watching!

Wow. I found this video at 1AM. But it's like tapping into my dreams.

Awesome! Looks really fun! I want to do that!!! Really cool!!

Awesome Guys, funn and enjoying,👍

Cool video! I have been flying the rivers around here looking for a spot to land like this. Spending a lot of time on google Earth, then follow up with recon flights in the Aerolite.

Lots of fun! Nice video!

Excellent video! Awesome!

Loved every min of that Matt just wish we could do that sort of fly camping over here in the UK!

Sweet plane MMatt! This looks like too damn much fun!

Good fun fellas! You might be experienced pilots, but campers... Practice makes perfect!

Good job and well done.

That was enjoyable watching....thanks

Felt like I was right there with you. Great one.

great fun thanks guys

I used to live on the E. coast of Central Florida. Photographing in the evening required bug spray! Like my camera gear, I never left home without it!

Cool adventure. Bug spray always good to have. Maybe need to save up for some real food next time. LOL Thanks guys!!

Living Like Kings

Fantastic Video!!!

Great Video Matt !! I have been waiting for it and was not dissapointed buddy , ok maybe a little. no Vicki and her Beaver :o) Down River Tim (Oak Point Area)

The camerawork is amazing!! I could probably afford the plane, but not the cameras! LOL Great video!!

Buen video !!! Me encantaría vivir esa experiencia

Great fun. Just love the extra flight to get bug spray.

Awesome camera angle from every side on flight ....

One of my favorites

Great video

Great video I enjoyed it

14:25 whoah you have quite the fuel cavitation going on there.

this is the best camping... trip !!

Very cool!

As long as there are brown bears you shouldn't have any casualties XD lol

think I would have set up house on the landing strip. I think it may be less bugs than in the tall grass. Rocks can be raked out of the way for a 6x2 lay down spot. LOL

Saludos desde Buenos Aires . 👍👍👍👍👍😷

Success !! 👍

irmão esse lugar é magnifico. é um sonho de qualquer piloto de ultraleve, voçê é um um cara previlegiado . boms vôos

The flying Dorks for sure! 🍀👍🍺🍺🍺

A poor story of three campers, (an almost true story): They flew there with two microlite aircraft, they flew back to get another camper they could not take the first time. They did remember bug spray, however, the bugs didn't care and ate them half to death. During the night the rain came on, one of them panicled and went to his microlite, but wandered into some quick sand, his dieing calls were heard by the others, but he had sunk out of sight by the time the others got there. They went back to their tents thinking "More beer for us" and they went to sleep in a half drunken state. They woke to the sound of heavy rain, then it dawned on them that they had better get off the island before the river rose and the gravel bank runway was under water. As the packed up their tents they heard a roar of water, the river was rising very quickly, they left their tents in an attempt to reach their microlite aircraft and take off before it was to late and there was no beach left. They got to the edge of the island just in time to see the microlite aircraft hit by a wall of rising water and with a crunching, crashing noise the water swallowed up the microlites, smashed them against the side of the island and swallowed them up and carried them downstream to oblivion! The two remaining campers realising they were is great danger walked away from the bank to find a high spot, but there was none, just the odd small tree. However one tree stood higher than the others, so they ran to it as the waters rose above the bank of the island and started to swallow the land they were standing on. They climbed the tree as high as they could, helping each other as they climbed. Still the water rose and rose until the island was all but gone. A house owner noticed that the river was rising, he had been woken by the heavy rain, he looked out to see the island was almost under water, then he remembered he had seen two microlites land there last night making a lot of noise. He looked for traces of them, but through the semi-darkness he saw nothing. As he stared out through the now morning light, the light of day just breaking the horizon, he saw a dark shape where the island was, it was sticking up above the water. He knew from past times the river had risen so high that there was one tree that was the last to go under the water. Just than he thought he saw something moving out in the water. He stared into the ever increasing light of the morning. He could make out a shape out in the water, but it didn't look like the tree. He grabbed his binoculars and looked across the very high water that was now so high it was coming down in waves. As he picked out the tree he spotted two people, drenched and hanging on for dear life to the tree which was bending under under the pressure of the water trying to push it over and downstream. He ram and picked up his mobile phone and dialled for help. Just then there was a cracking noise and a splash as the tree gave up its fight to stay upright. it bent over and sunk below the water taking with it the two people that was clinging to it branches for a last chance at life. But it was not to be and as it took the two people below the waves the old man heard one shout "Oh F***". As they drowned in the water, the bald eagle that had been watching them came in the hope that they left something to eat rubbed its wings together at the thought of the feast of the two peoples bones tonight when they were washed up downstream, cold, lifeless, but above all, yummy! Never again was there a noise in the skies above the river. But wait, here comes a woman flying a microlite and a bright yellow microlight. As they come into land at a nearby Burger kink the pilot of the Bright Yellow microlite was heard to say "Oh, Vicky, I need a pee!" FIN.

Missing Vicky with her Beaver!

As always, I'm impressed with your flying skills. Are there any dams upriver of the island where flood control releases of water are made, which might reduce your takeoff distances and/or flood your planes?

cold weather camping=no bugs=no bug spray

100FT margin of error is terrible if you have an emergency. When things go great, it's fantastic though. Just keep that in mind for future flamping trips. Just get a can of bug spray and sun screen and keep it on the plane with your first aid kit.

I cant believe you guys didnt invite me! I mean I like Canadians😳

This is my first video of yours, so the accidental backlighting made you more mysterious and interesting.

man ultralights are awesome

Just gone say looked like you had plenty of runway left when you took off with Curtis from the island.

Greaaaat :O)

Boy scout cooking motto...when it's smokin it's cookin...when it's black it's done

Nice

Been seeing a lot of ultralights lately. Back country flying and camping always seemed far too expensive and out of reach. Somehow I'd never considered doing it with an ultralight, but it makes perfect sense. I still can't immediately afford $20,000 for a plane, but it's sure as hell a lot more achievable than $200k to $500k for a proper bush plane.

Un sueño....💓💓

yeah, this vid earned a like... way too cool.

Nice to see your trip, landing and camping at the Island, greetings from Puerto Rico,USA. Where is Woodstock, Canada?

I’ve camped on a lot of islands and have found camping on the gravel points of the islands have almost no bugs at all. FYI

This is freakin awesome. Norhwest Canada? Is that guy serious with the FUBU shirt?

always love your videos. I see by your flight back that you got off the ground pretty well with your passenger. you look like a 175 lb guy and your passenger maybe 200. how do you think that thing would handle with just me at 6'1 280lbs? I like how you can land on the islands like that... it is what id like to do.

What is that the Jurassic Park Island.⛺️ I never seen Fern so big 🌿

A little mosquito repellent and lots of hahaha smoke. 😆🙄👍👍👍👍

Looks like a lot of fun, just a thought but why not put the camping bag in the yellow aircraft backseat, then the two blokes go off in the Beaver?

Hey Matt! Thanks for providing such awesome flight videos. I recently bought a Beaver 550 on floats, and I've installed two wing tanks to provide for extended range. Can you please recommend some sort of inexpensive flight navigation system I can use for extended flights in British Columbia?

Have I missed something? Did you say where this is located? Well done video. No elevator music as your flying. Just the drone of the motor, communication & flying.

Hello guys a great greeting from Buenos Aires. One question those fuel tanks of how many liters they are and what autonomy they reach. 👍👍👍👍😷

Beavers have such great visibility. Did the Bannock biscuits taste like chicken?

Did you have to research land ownership of that island prior to using it for landing and/or camping?

Great vidoe. An absolutely fun way to have an adventure. I have a question though. Why couldn't you have put the camping stuff in the yellow plane and Curtis in your plane with you?

Next time, go a day before with a weed wackier. Cool island. Got any other ultralight pilots in the area ?

what kind of plane does Mitch own?? is it an ultralight? nice videos btw. :)

Who done this first. You or Tucker Gott ? The rock skipping and all lol

Matt, I know this was 11 months ago but if you read this, what type swivel mount were you using. Great job with it too! I didn't see it in the drop down. Great Great video! I know a lot of editing went into this!

Can you land on water saltwater fly low island land can ?

serious question, it just rained near you, are you not worried about the river rising and leaving you with a smaller runway or possibly washing your planes away?
