Nice work on this analysis! I personally don't think he overshot his landing. I think he landed FINE, and walked in the brush, scratched himself up, pulled out the camera and starts his bad acting again. Think about it. He's faked everything else, and with his experience in skydiving, he can hit an opening pretty easily...imo. ;)
Sports shorts... I have to agree with you about the brush sequences.. it would have been very hard to get those selfie-stick shots if you just randomly landed into them. Also he seems to have no scratches when he takes his hard-earned drink.
I thought the same thing. I even figured he had a vehicle down below that's why you see him searching for something out the window before he kills the engine and jumps
Great analysis. What person tries something like this an not think the web would rip his story to pieces.
a dumb one lol. he should fair well in prison....NOT!
@@thurin84 UNFORTUNATELY even if he violated any FAR's, the FAA doesn't imprison any one. At most the issue fines and or suspends or revokes flying privileges and certification.
the beauty of this video is it makes it clear his intentions were to land as close to the plane as he could and not target a safe landing zone. It just underscores he clearly had it in his mind to get to the plane to retrieve his cameras.
He also perhaps knew that if the crash sparked a fire he could be in even more trouble than purposely crashing a plane. I suspect it was planned to grab the cameras and put out any fire at the crash site. Although whatever one single person can carry would most likely not be enough to put out the fire caused by the crash, the vegetation was extremely dry and any flames would spread very quickly. Dude's an idiot.
Betcha he landed in the clearing just fine, then climbed into the bushes to give the video some extra "adversity" to "overcome".
Walking through thick brush WITH a full skydiving parachute rig.
Awesome video man! He spiraled his plane on a counter clockwise trajectory as he zigzag parachuted to a spot 500meters from the impact site. The house is also 2 Miles from the impact site so he endangered that property
Thanks!
I just love to think that he's seen your videos and has said out loud, "oh shit!" ;)
I think many of Trever Jacobs 1M+ views, are people going through it and providing superb analysis like this.
Many years ago (when the sun used to rise in the west sort of thing), I did survival courses for my "job". One of the ones that caused me some interest was about a B52, shot down accidentally over the continental US. Despite every resource, actuate locations, and a good stab at where the men went down, it took months to find the last man. He was found when people went to the cabin that he dragged himself to, in summer. Fortunately despite a badly broken leg he'd managed to keep alive.
It was many years later when I went to Canada, could I fully understand just how big North America is. I appreciate you'll all say "haven't you looked at a map" - we didn't have the mapping we have now, it just looked large. I think nothing brings home how vast and empty it is, in British eyes (from our densely packed Island) , till you stand in the middle of "nowhere", and realise that the nearest person is over many miles away and if you walk North, there's nothing between you and the North pole.
Where I'm going with this, is as I see it, the absolute stupidity, of jumping out of a plane, not raising a may-day etc to at least alert someone, and then trusting you don't break a leg, knock yourself out, on reaching the ground. Going into that brush could have resulted in impalement, and that would have been a horrific death.
He then trusts he won't break a leg then traversing the landscape (as he's dehydrated - he wont' be moving with his best mental capability applied to it). And he's ill prepared, for what could have been, an engineered situation.
He's rather like on of these "survival Experts" that engage in risky behaviours, if your in a true survival exercise, your job is to be as risk averse as you can be. A self inflicted broken arm could be then end of you.
Finally, if he was reported missing, it would then put a other people at risk trying to find him, possibly flying in mountainous terrain with all that entails (terrain, vortexes etc etc).
There are so many things in his video that show his motivation was not safety, and that is a danger to us all, as stupid people can emulate these things globally (sadly).
I think that pretty much summarizes why this whole thing makes people angry -he risked other people's lives, risked starting a forest fire in a fire-prone area, violated basic aircraft saftety rules that everyone else takes great pains to dutifully follow, and destroyed a plane just in pursuit of some youtube views, a bit of sponsorship money, and attention.
And you are right about the vastness of the continent, a single aircraft or person is quickly lost - the same goes for oceanic rescues, it is harder than it might seem. This sort of analysis would have been impossible without the many angles of high definition video captured.
One of the more, and better, vitriolic comments I read somewhere else proposed that TJ should be chemically sterilized to prevent him from breeding...people are THAT upset.
It will be interesting to see once the FAA start speaking to him if he straight up admits it was intentional or if his ego will force him to maintain the lie for as long as possible.
Just hoping the FAA interviews him in a room with 6 GoPro cameras so we can see him sweat from all different angles.
The craziest thing I noticed the very first time I saw the video was the drone shot.
My opinion is that he had help on the ground. At most he would have to walk 3 or four miles down the stream bed before he hits the dirt road that runs along the canyon. An easy drive for a 4 wheel drive vehicle. There are no ranch gates on that road so it is a public access road..
I forget who mentioned this but they claimed that the "Ranchers" who "rescued" him sound like a batch of "Bros" and were quite likely buddies of Trevor. I have avoided looking directly at Trevor's video but I might try that.
@@wildtimbrown Somebody did an extreme slow motion video recap of the crash. The conclusion was that there was water in the planes main tank. Av. gas is dyed blue.
great detective work! so the lower pic was taken right where he couldve safely landed the plane? i suspect he had a ride lined up somewhere in the valley near the road. why i suspect this is that one of the guys hes talking to after his "recue" has the same kind of "rad boi" inflection and speech pattern as he does. probably some of his xsports buddies.
Strange that he didn't get rid of the parachute/harness until the he reached the creek; hiking with that stuff would have been much more difficult.
If it had been more remote then taking it with him would make sense from a survival perspective but if it was that remote he should probably stay with the plane.
He took his jacket off, then put his chute harness back on afterward. Stupidity, or a continuity error?
Your attention to that detail is something I can only dream of 😅 great video!
Went for a trail run on Hurricane Deck few days ago and got within 100 yards of the crash site but the brush was brutal and I knew there would not be anything too see since they grabbed the plane on 12/10 but can attest to the lack of cellphone reception and brutal brush... I can't imagine how miserable it was descending to the valley floor off trail.
Great work! Did you take any shots from the ridge looking towards the site? Tho I suspect it would be over the bluffs and not visible from the trail, even if it was there.
It would be interesting to have someone visit the site and look for whatever remains tho, as it may provide some evidence in relation to the crash and the removal.
"I can't imagine how miserable it was descending to the valley floor off trail". That sentence made my day!
Great work have been watching this closely since his video and said this is bs. From what I have seen you are spot on. I traced the riverbed back to the farms and first structures. Also the Manzana schoolhouse camp which was the other way up the riverbed. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say when the media gets to him. Have you checked out his other video of him flying with his dog where he cries at the end because he thought he was going to die? It’s more fake than the bailout video.
Oh thank you jebus needed that HD
Thanks Davine. A great bit of detective work!
I'm posting my final findings tomorrow. I'm glad you did this I haven't watched the whole thing but I know you helped with GPS locations and whatnot. I found a few more things that I haven't heard about yet. Looking forward to watching yours after I finish my video and see if we decide the hike is the same!
I'll be interested to see what you have to contribute!
Great analysis. Also look at the lower Manzana Trailhead and the creek right by it. It looks like the spot where he took is dramatised drink. There’s a pretty good road out from there to Santa Barbara. Just my thought.
He could have gone south at the school house. There is a ranch with trucks only a couple miles from the schoolhouse directly south with a path / old road that goes over water several times. More consistent water in that canyon too. Also, that trail is marked as a way out and gives number of miles to the trailhead. I would be more likely to get on a commonly used forest trail where I might run into hikers and backpackers. On satellite it looks more like a road than a trail even to the school house and clearly they drive into that large ranch as there are a half dozen trucks parked around it on the satellite image.
I believe he had someone waiting for him. Not one rancher has come up to say they helped him. He had water in the plane. You can see it in his video.
If the FAA determines this was intentional, I would be worried if I was him about what crimes the Federal Park Service could charge him with. Since he was on Federal land, it makes it a federal case not only in the air but on the ground. I'm sure he violated a plethora of US forest service laws, which are covered under United States Code, subjecting him to fines and imprisonment.
You over estimated his hike. The final destination is just the Manzana Schoolhouse camp, you can see the mountains in the background match in his sunset shot. The drinking spot is also near the camp. I'm starting to think that those "farmers" are involved in his stunt. It's crazy how he planned this.
That all sounds correct to me! Thanks for watching.
He’s done all this planning from the “crash” area selection, the parachute jump, the camera footage, subsequent “crashed” plane recovery and even brought fire extinguishers. Why would he not plan an extraction? I doubt if the “farmers” are farmers but rather Adventure Buddies!
@@RaoulThomas007 Yeah most likely he recruited a friend or friends to help him or to at least pick him up. I doubt he could convince a random farmer to go along with his absolutely insane plan.
@@RaoulThomas007 Early on I saw a comment that suggested just that.
I'm convinced he landed well before the plane crashed (long parachute freefall, gentle plane glide slope). I think he either got lucky landing near where the plane eventually crashed, or he jumped from another plane on another day to get that close.
I've read many pilot accounts who are familiar with that plane and they said it would have not have nose-dived, it would naturally descend with a relatively gentle slope.
Nice job finding his landing spot. Also, I match your plane crash location almost exactly.
Airplanes have pitch trim and he trimmed it nose down before he bailed. He had video looking down at the airplane as it crashed. If he wanted to get to the crash site it would make sense to trim it down so it wouldn’t go far and he could land close. The airplane has a better glide ratio than his chute.
How did he get that shot of him looking down on the plane?? He free fell for a long time. But when he jumped out of the plane, it wasn’t in a steep dive.
How could the plane have passed him??
Good question - many different opinions on that are circulating online and others have made guesses. I am not an aviation expert so I can't make a guess myself.
@RandomCoffeeDrinker - I'm convinced he landed well before the plane crashed (long parachute freefall, gentle plane glide slope). I think he either got lucky landing near where the plane eventually crashed, or he jumped from another plane on another day to get that close.
I've read many pilot accounts on the many analysis videos out there who are familiar with that plane and they said it would have not have nose-dived, it would naturally descend with a relatively gentle slope. You can see the yoke as he let go of it and it moved to a spot like a kind of default position. The plane, as you said, was not in a steep dive. It would have had to really dive steep to catch up with Trevor. Perhaps it would have broken up diving that steep.
@@furyofbongos Then how did he get that one shot where the plane was way below him? It’s weird.
@@luomoalto Maybe the day before he flew the plane in the area and had a friend film it, or that was a drone shot controlled by a friend.
I love the internet because you can research just about anything. Then there's videos like this you can just watch and let someone else do the work 🤣😂
Lots of studying to get that info .
Thx you .
Looks like there are some wineries at the end of that trail. Rancho Sisquoc for one. Not sure how far one could drive back to Manzana camp. Which may have been his target as he bailed out near there.
It appears to be a 4WD road on the maps, I am unsure of the condition of the road.
He put a lot of effort into landing in those briars. Then he sticks the camera in and acts like he’s caught in them. There’s literally Nothing behind him. One step back and he’s out.
What did Trevor use to find his direction out? Did he have maps? No GPS from a cell! If he had maps on his person wouldn't it be more normal for them to be in the plane and not in his pocket?
First thing - many GPS apps work without cell service (they pick up satellite GPS) and can be operated even if the cell phone is in "airplane mode" or 0 bars of service. Secondly, I dont think it would have been hard to find your way out of there if you had at least minimal spatial awareness and had flown over the area - 9/10 people would descend to the river valley and walk towards the direction of civilization. But it is likely that this was pre-planned and he already knew where to go to get help. I'm sure he studied the maps closely beforehand, and possibly had a phone with offline maps or a GPS.
I like knowing this, I think he was concerned about the condor preserve which i think is over one hundred miles to the east
A great stunt.

I don't believe this guy planned the crash. There are a lot of clout chasing "detectives" slandering him, but until there is an investigation by authorities, charges, a trial and a guilty verdict I am going with the American view point that he is innocent until proven guilty.
This isn't a court of law. You can believe whatever you want but I hope you were paid well by Trevor.
Did you also beleive Jussie Smollett until his trial?
@@mitchelljack1590 Not really, but I refrained from convicting him myself. That is for a jury to do in court. They did.
AMA,
And OJ wouldn't own a pair of those ugly Italian shoes, didn't own the murder weapon (just the box it came in) and the bloody glove found at the crime scene was too small to fit his hand after he hit his cell wall repeatedly.
" If the glove don't fit, ya musts aquit." ...
Has this guy shown his face yet ?
Not that I know of. Since he lives off mommy and daddy's money they probably took away his allowance and sent him to his room. 🤣
I wonder if they dispense Ritalin in prison. That boy is on the spectrum.
