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!

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!

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...

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!

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

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!!✌️🇨🇦

I love watching these long-distance multi day trips with para motors, and I saw a guy do it in a race and I think that was in Utah and Arizona possibly. It’s interesting to see people with camping equipment and then also stop at gas stations, which is unique. The weather seems to be a big impact. As well as wind conditions. I don’t care so much about aerobatics, but I like to see the long distance flights in the planning

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!

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.

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. 😅

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

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.

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

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.
