I got lucky. Not only did Matt avoided crashing the helicopter over the Sawtooths, but I somehow deleted my entire sequence on Premier Pro but only after exporting a rough final edit. So that's what you get is a nearly complete edit with a couple little things that will irritate me every time I watch this video. I am stoked we didn't crash though. I'm always happy when we get out of the helicopter and run, especially when it's in a place like the Sawtooth Mountains. I'm not sure which makes me sweat more, running in the summer or riding with matt in a helicopter?

@charlieswearingen500
@charlieswearingen500 5 лет назад
Indians, hunters, trappers, miners, homesteaders, etc started the first trails for their own use. Then the Forest Service trail crews improved or constructed new trails where the old trails existed, sometimes improving on the location or re-routing of the old trails. I did trail construction in the 1950s and 60s as a Boy Scout and then later I worked on Forest Service contract trail crews. My first job was in the Big Horn Crags building a trail from Heart Lake down to the Middle Fork Salmon River near the mouth of Big Creek. We used buck saws and axes to clear trees, and rock drills and dynamite to blast through the granite cliffs, and mostly picks and Polanski's to construct the trail tread. We had permanent tent camps with a camp cook set up for living and we lived there the entire summer. We had riding horses and mule pack strings to carry our equipment and supplies in and out of the wilderness areas. It was a great job because we were in the back country where we couldn't spend our hard earned money. At the end of the summer we had quite a large bank roll... ;-)

Now you need to make it to Alpine Lake. Hike/Run in Camp. No one is ever there. So skinny dip to cool off, or bath. Then get warm the big rock. Made those hikes many times. Camped, fished and just unplugged from it all for a few days. Didn't you go down and around beautiful Redfish Lake? We call it our perfect meditation place. So worth it.

That is pretty sweet drone footage of the helicopter flying across the GSL. I assume that you launch and retrieve the drone from the helicopter in the air. Is that correct?
@jayphilipwilliams
@jayphilipwilliams 4 года назад
That would be virtually impossible, as the downwash from the main rotor of the helicopter would probably blast the drone out of the sky. Also, it would be pretty dangerous. Crash the drone into the helicopter rotors and that's really bad news. There were lots of places to land and then launch the drone. No reason to take unnecessary and significant risks, although I doubt it's even possible.

Re the main blade slapping the back blade ... that won't happen ... what can happen with negative G is the main blade will either cut the tail off or mast bump and shed blades or cut through the cab removing various important essential bits of your body. It's not pretty believe me. Your pilot obviously dumped the collective and loaded the disc so you all made it. Good work. Hey keep it up, the time you put in to this during epic missions is very impressive.
