  • This is by far the most insane video I have ever had the opportunity to live through and make! what was literally the coldest I have ever been which is surprising considering I ice dive, and this is the highest I have ever been outside a plane! god is amazing and im sure heaven will be 10x this view! can't wait till the next wild adventure. and for everyone wondering this was all done in completely legal airspace!
    Thankful for Susie my Beautiful Girlfriend and her Mom for coming out and supporting me!

If you took that distance and placed it horizontally on a globe of the earth, it would be nothing. Believe it or not, so is the depth of the Mariana's Trench, which is about 6.7 miles deep. If you take that distance and place it on a globe or map, it is nothing. The earth is actually quite smooth based on its scale.

      The valley, ground, base, or bottom of Mount Everest is already at 17,600 feet above sea level - it’s almost like it sits on a plateau.
      From the ground, Everest goes up 11,400 feet.
      For a total of 29,000 feet.
      This is similar case with most other high mountains.

      Technically Everest is the tallest above sea level. There is another mountain much taller in Hawaii. Mt. Mauna Kea stands (from base to tip) 33,496 feet tall.
      Incredibly Mauna Kea's bulk is 19,700 feet BELOW sea level, with only 13,796 of it above sea level.

My lowest jump was 850 feet, which kind of worried me if the chute would open, but it did without hesitation. My grandson knew that I had parachuted in the Marines and he wanted me to go with him to the classes at the local airfield, so I did. I never knew that he expected me to jump with him. I was 64 at the time and never jumped since the war, but I did it just for him. We jumped from 900 feet. I was kind of afraid, but I put my faith in God and whoever folded my chute.

It kind of put my daily worries in perspective as to exactly how insignificant they truly are in the scope of the world. It was a moment to remember.
