I have followed your channel for years. Always love the peacefulness in your storytelling. Keep the great content coming Tucker. Greetings from Sweden!
Likewise, I too, have been watching for years, and this episode was a refreshing adventure I truly enjoyed! Greetings from Tennessee at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains. Come see us!
Tucker is my favorite RU-vidr and I am inspired to get a paramotor and get some training to learn this amazing hobby. Thank you for sharing Mr. Tucker.
@@kevinclow3161 The river is spelled 'Musconetcong'. It's 40 some odd miles long but using a few other clues you should be able to get in the general area at least.
Great idea! I bought a smaller Anker power station after your pizza video, and can't wait to review it after a camping trip in 2 weeks. Thanks for all the awesome content!
This might be one of the most unique "sponsored by" videos I've seen this year. Nice work!! @Regretlyss has been showing off what she can do with the Anker battery with her little bus/camping. You two should meet.
if you want to do this again with less weight consider the Ecoflow River power station and the Dash Mini griddle. You can cook a burger or eggs on it and it only draws 350W. Looks like you already got the tiny fridge figured out but that huge power station really took up a lot of extra space. You could fit the Ecoflow, fridge, Dash Mini, and your food in less space than just that huge Anker
@@ClaytonBigsby01 absolutely not roughing it. If the idea of bringing equipment annoys you you would hate to see my suburban. Better mattress than I have at home, custom woodwork interior with shelves, fridge/freezer, microwave, stove/oven, water heater, shower, toilet, 1700W of solar charging 10kw of battery, ac, heat, fan, and R13+ insulation not to mention the gas generator, folding table, starlink internet, rooftop storage, etc. Thats far from roughing it
Wish I could have been with you Tuck ... I do hope your close friend was with you ... Great time it must have been ...thank you for taking us along this way ...
Question, are you allowed to just land in any field? I thought most of the land would be private. Or do you request permission from landowners before you set out?
It's a private airport, basically a grass strip in some guys backyard I think. I live pretty close by and I thought about using it as an LZ until I looked into it
I also want to know. I could see this blowing up in a real negative way if you didn't have permission and you accidently damaged some crops. Looked like those crops were relatively newish. I certainly wouldn't want someone landing a trike on my farm and camping over night.
I really love your videos bro ! Im from small country in Europe called "Slovakia" and i send you greetings from there :D Be happy in your life Tucker ! :)
Tucker, that's very cool! You need to be able to extend your camping time with that power system, by looking into roll-up solar panels, to charge the battery with, once you're at your "glamping" destination. No clue as to how many panels you'd need to fully charge up, during the day, but I do know panels have become way more efficient, these days. You've dealt with solar on your van, before, so you already know what you need, I'd think. You just need to track down roll-up panels you could temp-stow under your trike's length, and deploy on arrival. Instead of using the grill, except for an emergency, maybe, consider using MRE esbit stoves, or flameless ration heaters for cooking. This will drastically extend your battery's longevity, and greatly reduce the amount of time needed to fully charge, each day. Thanks for sharing this with us, Tucker. :)
There are lightweight water powered electric generators, too. Camping near a river or stream in the Pacific NW is easy since we have them everywhere, but we don't always get sunshine. Secure the turbine in the current and you've got a small hydroelectric system that can charge devices 24/7. Wind power is also possible, but windy conditions aren't suitable for paramotoring as we all know.
Awesome!! Love the freedom of being able to fly in/out. Suggestion? Catch and cook. You don't need anything other than your tent, a rod, and a small pan with a gas powered camping stove. Lighter, more challenging
That is exactly what I'd like to be able to do in the Pacific Northwest near my home. Some Epic point A to point B "flying" with some light camping gear is a great idea, Tucker. Powered parasails are the lightest of bush planes. I've backpacked in "the wilderness" in places I with adequate landing zones. Some bush tires (larger diameter balloon tires) might expand the landing and take-off capability over rougher terrain.
@@ClaytonBigsby01 Light to me would be like backpacking. Tucker knows the weight capacity of his wing & is having fun experimenting. If you can fly it or bring it, why not?
@@ClaytonBigsby01 Tucker had the useable load capacity, so he had fun bringing all the cool stuff. I've backpacked with 50 to 80 pound backpacks, depending on distance. Flying with it and landing gear, . . ideal.😀👍
Yeah, much better to camp with the trike than just using your regular foot launch paramotor, you can carry so much more. My suggestion is go camping with your friends again. Though if you do and if one of them has a trike paramotor, you can bring even more supplies and do a multi-day trip that way.
This was so awesome. Such a fantastic trip. I've done a lot of wilderness camping trips similar to this but they've all been ground-based and done with my mountain bike. Doing it with a paramotor is just next level. 👍👍👍👍
The technology in power banks are so awesome now. I've got a few different setups that keep me "in power" all the time. This has inspired me to set up my trike like this... para-glamping! ha ha
i still remember the island camping video a couple months back and this is like the second camping video since then. i really hope you make more camping videos using paragliding.
Love these videos and the exploring vibe … do you need to worry about trespassing? Or did you have permission from the land owner? (How does that work in the US?)
@@pkane5472yes you definitely have to get permission😂. Land is privately owned in the majority of the US. But an accidental landing isn't going to get you in trouble people are reasonable for the most part
You should customize a plastic type tote to make it easy to pack all that gear...the trike holds alot to weight...so bolt in a container and off you go tripping to your next camp ground ....sell the container idea and have a meet up with other trikers out in the wild....good job 👍👍
Omg, I alway imagined paragliding camping, but w/ basic camping. Here U r, camping w/ paragliding. Love yur tent w/ the vestibule. Thx 4 sharing yur adventures on Utube.
Get yourself a food sealer, you can make your own catsup packets.mayo packets, mustard packets , pickle , packets , miracle whip packets , put a few of each in a zip lock bags. Maybe even bbq sauce packets too
The more I watch your videos the more comfortable I feel. My palms used to get so sweaty just watching theese types of videos cuz im terrified of heights but your so professional and calm sounding and very sure of the hobby/mode of transportation. Any advice to someone whos affraid of heights but slowly getting over it because this looks too fun. Im 33 and want to actually live and experience life and not vicariously through media. I want to try this myself. But don't know where to start.
This may well open up some winter flying. you can run a small heater and or power your gloves/vest for longer trips. You would have to fashion a small shroud to direct the heat but that would be an interesting endeavor.
Para-glamping has a nice ring to it. I've always been envious of people who go bush-plane camping. I've been brain-storming a paramotor camper ever since I saw that video of the guy para gliding on a couch with a TV. Couches, TVs, and batteries are all really heavy things, I bet I could integrate a practical shelter into a trike. Sort of like those bike trailer campers.
I've been eyeing that Anker system to use my GeoPro camper fully off-grid. Now that i know theres about to be a sale, gonna have to snag one! I'll use your link as a thank you for convincing me to get my own paramotor 2 years ago 👍
Love the content. Here's what I would do... trade the ground tent for a hammock tent possible to get better sleep and off the ground. Biolite camp stove and camp mess kit and rid yourself of the appliances other than the fridge thats genius( I know that was for the ankor test). Life straw for drinking water.
Absolutely love when you do some backcountry ish bush type of flying and mix it in with camping thanks for taking us along for these epic adventures! 🤙🏼
How about an air-to-air fly-in. Air in which to fly the paramotor and air to inflate (using Anker & pump) a kayak, raft or inner tube. You can float down a river (one that circles around on itself to minimize walk back (or bring big wheel?) or paddle around in a lake. Down the road, learn to scuba dive and do an air-to-air fly-in and river, pond or lake dive. The tank would likely have to be something less than an Al-80 or don't bring the Anker. Keep your altitude down after diving to minimize chance of decompression sickness but totally do-able. Maybe a fly and fly-fish? Great vid! Thank you.
Bad idea, the trike is balanced with that weight. If you remove the weight in flight it will become unbalanced. The nose will be up, the prop direction will no longer be horizontal, which will lead to bad things.
The epitome of flying - freedom. This has got to be one of the coolest ways to put flying a trike to use! Add nature to the equation, in my books, doesn't get much better. Awesome setup with that power station, glamping indeed! 😄👌
This vid is crazy fun!!! Great promo for the power supply BUT the versatility of the “old dude” paramotor/dune buggy is epic! Perfect wheel wash technique on the approach. Ain’t no mud in that truck bed. Think keen, eat green and keep that dad burn truck bed clean!
Very, very cool adventure! Good use of resources and great fly-in camp. I only get to watch adventures like this, but I also have a smaller version of a battery/generator. If you were out several days, could you take a solar panel? Good stuff. And I've always admired your emphasis on safety.
I love this kind of content. Has a sense of adventure. Am still hoping you will do some crazy across the States tour or up to Alaska and back. You asked for ideas 💡😂 didn't you?
Magnificent, my man. That was an inspired way to have a good time, check out some new gear and test whether you would like to do it again. It semed that it is was good. Next time, maybe an inflatable mattress - you certainly have bulk energy to blow up the inflatable mattress. Maybe next time, and inflatable mansion. Wouldn't that be neat.?????? Onward and upward. Baby.
yea was looking for this. I'm sure he's smart enough to know the person or at least ask permission. I ATV in rural areas and some land owners are welcome to riding on their trails just have to make the right call so could be what he did here. because otherwise that's pretty much just blatant trespassing and not okay.
You should consider doing "trail magic" on on of the three continental trails (AT, CDT, PCT). Trail magic is providing thru hikers with food and supplies on the trail. The PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) is over 2,000 miles in the most rugged desolate areas in the country. The AT (Appalachian Trail) is much closer and has the "hundred mile wilderness" that is very remote.
That is pretty cool, what a device. I just purchased a small 2500 watt Champion generator so I could sleep in my cargo trailer if I needed to and have a fan and charging equipment, but of course couldn't fly it somewhere because I would need either propane or gasoline to go along with it. Great video!
Man! Tucker I wish you accepted my invite to our camping trip! We were at 3PA4. You were in Iceland on that date if I remember correctly... we have since lost the property. No fear though! Looking for new property to continue our tradition! Lol
ANKER should send you a foldable solar panel to test recharging Power Station during the day via solar. That morning shot was the look of a rough nights sleep.....all for Content creation! nice job!
As much as I enjoy the BASE jumping and sketchy Alibaba paramotor adventures you have, my favorite videos you make are the ones where you do something like fly to McDonalds with your paramotor or camp somewhere like this one. I think you should do an epic trip where you hop from camp to camp site over the course of 3 - 5 days! I've been subscribed since before your Icarus win and always enjoy these. Thanks!
I don't know how much aptitude you have for diy engineering, but it'd be cool if you recharge your Anker SOLIX while flying by putting a mini wind turbine on your trike connected to a basic little car alternator. It could easily put out as much energy as a car moving down the highway at an equal speed to your paramotor. The alternator has copper coils in it and a magnet that mechanically spins on a rod that would be powered by the mini wind turbine. You'd probably need a heat-sink cover to clip over it to keep it cool to the touch and safe in the air, but it would charge your Anker SOLIX just like a car does it's own battery while running. Come to think of it, if you could attach an alternator to the paramotor with a small rubber belt, like a 4-cylinder engine's timing belt, then you could use the paramotor itself to recharge your Anker SOLIX.
Were you trespassing or did you have permission from the landowner? No judgement here. I like to watch Steve Wallis' stealth camping videos and, though not too stealthy an approach, this was way cooler in many ways. I'm glad to see that you packed out your trash.
If I could make a recommendation, You could bring an air horn with you to scare a bear away if you happened to need to and or bring some bear spray with you.
Very cool video, thanks. Your future video needs to be with your buddies. That way you can divvy up the supplies and do an entire weekend or maybe even get in a three day weekend. Add in a few base jumps for variety. I don't know if you could add in a blow up kayak and go downriver --logistics getting back would be a bear. Keep up the amazing videos!!
You should do a camping trip on the paramoder more survival style. Maybe use your wing as a tarp maybe bring a fishing Pole and you can only eat fish that you catch.
I think there is a more effective and creative way to make a box from the back and in front of the cart. The shape of the box is like the hood of the car from the front and the trunk of the car from the back. Put the battery in the front of the cart.
