Rising YouTube Stars – Pat at Adv.PPG

– Pat at Adv.PPG is the first inductee into the Backpack Aircraft hall of rising YouTube PPG stars.

So far, Pat’s paramotor adventures take us beach flying, exploring the Mesquite Mine in Glamis and cruising around the vast sand dunes in the area exploring locations and structures lost in time just waiting to be rediscovered from the air.

Pat’s videos have a great combination scenic footage, snappy music and entertaining narration which is why I think he has YouTube PPG star potential as long as he keeps making videos.

ParaSurvival Series – Surviving the Wilderness with a Paramotor

This is the first episode of my ParaSurvival adventures. On the first trip I tested flying into a location and breaking down my paramotor. I also used my NRS pack raft to transport my equipment across a lake and hiked the gear to a predetermined location. I went about 3-4 miles total. Once I was at the location I made camp and settled in for the night.

ParaSurvival Episode 2: Shelter and Fire

Took an overnight trip to test my gear. I used my paramotor as a shelter, made fire using an Egyptian bow drill and found some edible plants.

Paramotor Group Cross Country from Raleigh to Kitty Hawk!

Thank you to the guys at the first airport who fixed me up and to the people who gave me a ride from First Flight in Kitty Hawk! Once I landed at First Flight I got my phone charging right away – thanks to the people who gave me a ride – so I could contact Ross and Woody. The other guys took the beach landing which was walkable to the hotel but I really wanted to land at the airport, which was half a mile from the hotel but I was offered a ride. For landing 30 minutes after sunset the beach would have been a smarter choice because it was getting pretty dark at the airport for a landing and I had never been there, but it worked out!
