There is no better feeling than having your sunday morning coffee and watching Becki and Chris on helicopter advanture! Yes please!!! :) Always love these helicopter/travel series
The music. The editing. The opening sequence. The structure. The storytelling. The humor. The aspect ratio (oh, how cinematic!). To borrow a term from my favorite TH-camrs... deadly🙂!! Seriously, great stuff. Can't wait for ep 02.
So appreciate how safe Chris is with the weight of what you are packing and where. I never would have thought that you needed to worry about bear safe containers in the helicopter, wild. Excited for this series. You both do such a great job of talking us through everything. Have to have the kayaks 🤣 Thankfully you are back editing this so we know the bears weren’t too bad. ❤
I’ve been saving this series for a good day and so glad I started it today! It’s raining in LA so got comfy with tea and snacks…going to binge watch! 🍵🍿🌈
Love a good pre pack! I honestly get more excited about gear acquisition and planning than the actual trips! I'm probably telling you what you already know, but a while back I had a massive epiphany when weighting all my bags - just the caches, dry bags, stuff sacks and gear bags. I mean who doesn't love over the top organization - however I was shocked at how much weight all the mini bags added up too. This is probably irrelevant when you have a heli lugging the gear rather than two legs, but I recall shaving 3kg off a 20kg backpack, just by switching to a couple of ziplock bags, and a single bigger ultra light dry bag. Big deal if you're walking (or trying to save avgas) anyway - just thought it was interesting. Can't wait for the next ep :)
Y’all are pros! Your pre-trip planning is so intentional, I definitely learned a lot. Also surreal to see the Remote Designs gear in your video! This helicopter kayak camping is so rad, can’t wait for the episodes to follow.
Thanks dude! Love the bag and the hip pack, was sad to have to leave them at home in the end because of space but took it out on our first attempt at kayak camping and it was so good!
Absolutely loved this Episode of your trip to Canada, as I do with all of your videos. Great technical production and fantastic storytelling. If I could offer one tiny suggestion regarding the storage of bear spray in the helicopter. I know that police helicopter pilots will not allow any pepper spray (the human form of a bear spray) into the chopper unless it is stored in an airtight container and stored away from the passenger area. If one were to accidentally discharge within the passenger compartment.....well, you know.
The filming/editing of this is absolutely next level! You've truly become pro's this and I can't begin to imagine the amount of work and effort you both most put into these kinds of things. Love it!
Y'all are such great storytellers my goodness! I can't imagine the amount of work to get everything squared away for just a couple-day trip LET ALONE capturing it to tell an engaging story. That's daunting in and of itself. Y'all did a SUPERB job!
As a Canadian that regularly backpacks in the areas you mapped, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release your custom coloured crown land map. I'll even pay for it if I have to! I HATE the official crown land atlas website. It's so complicated! I just want a map like the one you made where it's "here is where you can be and here is where you shouldn't be" in high contrast colours. Also, for those that are not regular backcountry campers that have never eaten from the dehydrated food packs, bring an extra long spoon (like spatula length). It will help you get all the food in tucked in the bottom corners of the bag without you getting your hands all dirty by reaching deep into the bag with a normal spoon.
4:25 - Chris sitting in the passenger seats looks exactly like the kid that's getting dragged to home depo by his mum agaisnt his will on a sunday morning at 6am
I discovered you guys thanks to Matti's podcast. Headed to your channel by curiosity and although we are a bit older than the two of you, I found so many parallels between what you guys are doing/like to do with what my wife and I are into (photo/video, home renovation, travelling...even helicopters somehow but that's a long story...) that I literally watched tens of your videos on my way to Mexico City.... amazing content, super high quality and fun to watch... congrats for the great job
You must have guts of steel for Mountain House 🤣 Can't say I have fun stories backpacking with it. Love the editing and can't wait to watch the series.
I know your channel is not about that but I’m here almost every day to learn about storytelling. You guys are great telling a story and keep the emotion high every time.
As a university student studying mechanical aerospace engineering, watching your videos really helps me de-stress at the end of a long day of studying. I'm sure the same effect is felt by many others as well!!
You are by far the only channel i put the notification bell on, love the series ! Were inflatable kajaks heavier then the foldable ones ? inflatable ones come in their own little backpacks, maybe only 1/3rd of the foldable you both were using :)
Can you attach a basket to one or both of the skids and put the kayaks in the baskets 🤔 I know they make cargo baskets just not sure if they can be attached to any helicopter. I understand the weight issues and figure the weight of the basket itself may be a deterrent, not to mention the cost of a basket that may not be used regularly. Looking forward to the rest of these episodes 👍😎
The editing in this was AWESOME! The chapter 4 part with the 1,2,3,4, and then the 15:30 picture, haha I LOVE THIS! So so so good!!!!! And Chris explaining how he "just casually made a map" ... ohhh okay ... haha. 😆BEST Sunday wake up!!!
This is legitimately the best intro episode for a series like this. The amount of work that went into JUST the edit for this, let alone the insane planning, filming, and everything else…so so good you guys. Way excited for the rest of these episodes, bring it.
As a backpacker it's fun to see your packing decisions when weight and space are limited. Time for some Ultra Light gear. :) Also, looking up bears eating planes now... need to see that!
@@BeckiandChris We've been looking at the tandem model - Julie likes to paddle, and I like to lounge... A bit more space in the 172, though our landing options are fewer. Flown low and slow over the places you're going to camp, looking forward to the follow up episodes.
So glad it brought joy! For the series and films I usually build out the playlist first before we shoot but pick the songs based on the rough cut. Sometimes I know what songs will be used for a specific scene before hand!

Becki & Chris... I have one word... OUTSTANDING... Well Two... AWE😃SOME
YES!!! Not watched it yet, saving it to 'watch later' playlist so I can pick it up on my big TV 👍😀⭐
Helicopter camping!! Insane 🤯🤯🤯
Absolutely love orukayak!
The best part is you get an aerial view of your campsite before you setup camp.
There is no better feeling than having your sunday morning coffee and watching Becki and Chris on helicopter advanture! Yes please!!! :) Always love these helicopter/travel series
Thanks Lukas!!!
My least favourite part is the end though. Now I have to wait for more :(
Super excited to share this one with you all, might be our favourite helicopter adventure yet!
Thank you so much for sharing @beckiandchris 🙂
Hyyyyyype! Loving the green and all of the top-down shots, nicely done.
Super excited to watch it and thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I freaking love this channel. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
YOU HAVE A REMOTE HELECOPTER THAT CARRIES PEOPLE AWESOME! I want one of those if I grow up!
The music. The editing. The opening sequence. The structure. The storytelling. The humor. The aspect ratio (oh, how cinematic!). To borrow a term from my favorite TH-camrs... deadly🙂!! Seriously, great stuff. Can't wait for ep 02.
Thank you Tom! Always a blast making these projects!
I wish I can fly Helicopters everywhere and FPV drone - perfect combo
That planning ..!!
Dang Dr. Chris is SMART!!!!
And off we're going again.... And we are allowed to ride along.... 👌

I am so excited for this series!
Something about the thumbnail is so cozyyy
are you KIDDING with the opening edits. Gorg. Safe travels pls tell me this happened during the summer.

Hell yeah, another trip and so much fun with u guys are coming!!!

So Hyped for this series 😊
Got a job at a Helicopter place a few months back. Seeing how much there is to everything, it make me appreciate these helicopter series even more
That Intro B-roll though!!

ITS LOOKING GREAT. LOVE IT B&C. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT EPISODE.
Holy cow, incredible editing and production
Helicopters and kayaks are probably the least practical combination of vehicles in existence...and i'm absolutely here for it!!🖤
As an overlander this was a great first episode to show what's behind some of the great adventures you can take out in the wilderness. Love this!
The filming/editing of this is absolutely next level! You've truly become pro's this and I can't begin to imagine the amount of work and effort you both most put into these kinds of things. Love it!
Dude!! First Mauzy and now heading north, You people are killing it!! Can't wait for the rest of the episodes.
Thanks so much!!
Love your videos and always enjoy the little snips at the end. Can't wait to see how the trip goes!
This was refreshing and makes me want to get out in the wild!
Absolutely love the video and this series. Brings an entire new light into backpacking.
Y'all are such great storytellers my goodness! I can't imagine the amount of work to get everything squared away for just a couple-day trip LET ALONE capturing it to tell an engaging story. That's daunting in and of itself. Y'all did a SUPERB job!

Oh so that's what well adjusted couples look like 😂 Great video guys!

I spy Gatewood Brown's Remote Design Bag. It's soo good!

I love it here.
Ohh this looks fun! I can’t wait to watch! 😎🇨🇦
watching this after the matti podcast. excited to see some camping!
You must have guts of steel for Mountain House 🤣 Can't say I have fun stories backpacking with it. Love the editing and can't wait to watch the series.
Haha no issues here but there’s a few I did not like 😂 gonna have to try backpackers pantry next time
Becki and Chris: Wilderness Edition. Excited for this!
Just getting to this series now and I'm in awe. Would love to see a video on your gear for this trip. I.e brands and usages.
Always amazing!
Can not wait for the series to start
I did not know there was such things as fold up kayaks!
Also great job Becki for packing up the Heli it is no easy feat of Tetris 😂
I don't think I've ever seen anyone overpack like I just watched you two overpack. 😂
I know your channel is not about that but I’m here almost every day to learn about storytelling. You guys are great telling a story and keep the emotion high every time.

So glad to hear that!!
I can't. This is INCREDIBLE! 🤯
I found you with Trent Palmer, You now have another subscriber!
You are by far the only channel i put the notification bell on, love the series !
Were inflatable kajaks heavier then the foldable ones ? inflatable ones come in their own little backpacks, maybe only 1/3rd of the foldable you both were using :)
Omg. This content is AMAZING
LLOVEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Becki and Chris are living my camping dreams.
So freaking dope! Let's goooooo 🔥

it is incredibly pleasing that you've managed to find camping gear that matches your aesthetic grey collapsy bowl ftw!
Love your adventures! Thank you for sharing!

So excited to see another epic Helicopter Adventure. Such a great way to start a Sunday morning!
Yes! So stoked! Thanks for another great series!
Wow this is so exciting! I love how you edited this, it flowed so well. It got me ultra hyped
Can I just say how wholesome that thumbnail looks😂
the map talk is Johnny Harris' favorite part.
This is legitimately the best intro episode for a series like this. The amount of work that went into JUST the edit for this, let alone the insane planning, filming, and everything else…so so good you guys. Way excited for the rest of these episodes, bring it.
LOVING this outdoorsy side of y’all! Amazing prep!
Thanks so much! Having a blast!
Just about to order some of those kayaks !!!
can't wait for ep 2!!!! so stoked for this series every time!
WoooHooo! Let's gooo!
As a backpacker it's fun to see your packing decisions when weight and space are limited. Time for some Ultra Light gear. :) Also, looking up bears eating planes now... need to see that!
Hey Becki & Chris! You guys are awesome! Thanks so much!
3:16 - I like to travel this place
so amazing Masya Allah 🥰🥰
Ah so excited for another series. This was so fun, thanks for all the hard work on these for us to enjoy!
So cool. It would be funny if your just wore your entire wardrobe there and back Joey Tribbiani style. 😂
Crazy
This is gonna be a super amazing series. I'm even excited like if I'm there.
OMG Becky! I love the set behind Chris in the opening. so creative. I Had to pause the video to say this lol
Thank you so much!!
I think now I have a PPL rating after watching all Chris's flights 😅
Are belly pods something that exists with small helicopters? They seem pretty common with super cub style planes used in the backcountry
Let's gooooooooooo! Excited to check this whole trip!
Also, you guys are looking hella good!
After I finish camping in the Florida state parks I want to try hot tents
Fly Low, Don't Die. Great advice.
Hey Becki and Chris, love your guys' channel.
Such a great intro to the series!!
the best storyteller i know is you ..
Incredible video, very good quality.
What app do you use to plan the navigation?
I've been considering one of the ORU Kayaks for C-FMVU - glad to see them in use, and stowed in an aircraft. Gives me a better perspective.
They are really fun I must say, a great addition especially for calm waters
@@BeckiandChris We've been looking at the tandem model - Julie likes to paddle, and I like to lounge... A bit more space in the 172, though our landing options are fewer. Flown low and slow over the places you're going to camp, looking forward to the follow up episodes.
Seems to me that you could have mounted the kayaks on the runners somehow. Just a thought.
Not without a cage but the cage I don’t think would be the right size
Thanks for bringing me joy on a Sunday! That opening song ("Can't Bring Me Down") is so good! Where in the process do you pick your music?
So glad it brought joy! For the series and films I usually build out the playlist first before we shoot but pick the songs based on the rough cut. Sometimes I know what songs will be used for a specific scene before hand!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THAT'S THE LIFESTYLE I WANT TO LIFE WHEN I HAVE A WIFE BEFORE HAVING KIDS. A MINIMAL YET FANCY LIFESTYLE. ❤️❤️
ya'll are getting so good at making these! I am on board with thinking about getting some of those kayaks
Thanks so much! They kayaks are really awesome, they’ve been a great addition!
Remember the what's in my camera bag video after the season😃
