Faroe Islands // When Birds Attack
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Only took a couple years but here is the third installment of the Faroe Islands bike tour. In this episode I battle hurricane winds and dive bombing birds protecting their nests as I ride from the north-west tip of Eysturoy to Klaksvic. In this video I also visit the much photographed lighthouse at Trollanes.
Working on this video after so much time made me realize how much better I've gotten at shooting video. In some ways there was a dearth of material to pull from. Soooo many shots of me talking to the camera and almost no shots of the action taking place around me. Last video of the Faroes will come out next and then it's back to our regular broadcast material.
This channel has single handedly sprouted my passion for hiking and being outdoors. Thanks Danny for suffering for our entertainment.
Not that it's not always the case, but your editing game here is fantastic. Especially given the solo, improvisational nature of your trip, and the limited material you say you had to work with. Thanks for brightening up my morning with some stunning footage.
This is the best thing on RUclips. No other similar show comes close. Fabulous footage and sharp editing. But it's Danny himself who makes each video worth the wait. I love his chatter. He's honest about the challenges but always finds the silver lining. The whole show is a recipe for how to live life. A gem.
Dude, what is your life? So many unbelievable trips and just nonstop being out in nature.
Brilliant channel and top tier content.
He’s a weekend warrior, and enjoys type 2 fun. Get out there and have fun.
@@MusicBent for me it's more that one of these trips would wipe out my funds (and I have 2 young children, so going on a trip like this means my wife has to watch the kids while I'm gone). I really wish I was able to go do stuff like this because it's what I enjoy most.
What I'm commenting on is how frequently he's able to do these expeditions.
@@williamdowling7718 Most of them are weekend trips. You don't need to do the international ones.
@@pinetarsavage you don't seem to understand that even staying in the US, to take a trip like this requires a round trip flight and car rental at best. It's a 2 day drive to Colorado, so avoiding the plane ticket and car rental costs 2 extra days of travel that can't be used for outdoor adventuring. That means that if I want to drive anywhere and have a single day adventure in the mountains of Colorado, Montana, Utah, etc, will take 5 days to accomplish.
I understand what you're saying.. But you're overlooking the logistical problems that come along with the choice to go on an adventure. I was commenting on Danny's ability to overcome those logistical challenges, which is not something that most people are reasonably able to do, especially at such a high frequency.
He's rich probably
Most of those birds nest on the ground in the Faroes. Mostly around the big rocks or holes on the grass field. They become very territorial during this season, especially brooding mothers. You gotta be careful with all the camouflaged eggs and also take care of your head, they don't mind bitting a piece! 🤣
Lol that campground... That's why I always bring Hearos earplugs.
"the wind blew me to a standstill..." that is why I hated riding my bike in TX so much. Give me a good 10% grade over a 30mph headwind any day. At least grades end. In Texas, the wind never stops.
So what happened with the Norwegian girls in the pickup truck?
THATS WHAT I'M SAYIN. WE NEED MORE INFO.
@@mrmojohh9499 my guess would be these dudes aren't into girls.
Ha! The Irish lads singing The Wild Rover at 1:30 in the morning. I hope you joined in!
Didn't expect to hear the Clancy brothers in 2020 in the middle of nowhere.

That landscape is incredible.
If I was there, the urge to climb every mountain around me would be too much to resist.
Danny's favorite: solo shooting. Adding in the rain and wind this looks like a blast!
I live in Northern Norway and this is REALLY familiar. I rode yesterday and it was blowing so hard down the fjord that I was going 5 kph downhill! And that was slamming on the pedals.
Absolutely breathtaking scenery Danny. Great job as usual. You never let us down! Thank you...
Thank you for blessing my morning!
It’s so beautiful! Thanks Danny, I’m looking forward to part 4.
Strange experience for a million reasons.... do tell.
This video. I mean you're all alone and being blasted by wind and some rain. Definitely shows how much you love adventure. Much easier to embrace the suck when you have friends around. Danny is a beast forever and always haha
Thanks for bringing attention to the beautiful Faroe Islands.
Well worth the wait for this video. Thanks. For the birds get some big eyeball buttons or patches to put on the back of your hat. Works for the big cats as well.
I used to read that 'birds have no sphincter control' meaning when they have to poop they poop - no control. Baloney. We have a black Thule container that we'd put on our white van, and something about it the seagulls would just crap all over it. Cars next to us? Nothing! And in my kayak off the coast there was a 2-3 year period when the seagulls would change direction to fly over me and try to crap. I'd act aggressive, stare at them or wave my paddle and they reel off, but they'd always poop. About two years ago, same area they just stopped. Crows will change direction to check out what you're doing, you've probably seen this, but no crow has ever tried to poop on me.
I'm probably completely wrong but I'd guess those birds coming down on you were skuas. On Skellig Michael off Ireland there're a lot of puffins, on the side where the old monk's beehive cells are the puffins are totally chill, but on just the other side of this tiny island they flee when anyone approaches.
Yea, definitely Skuas (AKA Jaegers in the Americas). Arctic Skua (AKA Parasitic Jaeger) is the most likely species based off what I can see and probability using eBird occurrence data.
Well you've just added a spot on my bucket list. Looks beautiful!!
The strongest winds I have ever experienced were on the Faroe Islands and on a mountain in Norway. Scary!
We have one of those rave tunnels in Norway. It is 24.5 km (15.2 mi) long. There are light shows every 6 km (3.7 mi). Really makes you forget that you are in a tunnel, yeah. On a good day you might see a couple of tourists stopping for pictures.
Love it man. All the dedication, passion, and greatness displayed, nothing beats this channel
Good morning everyone 🌞🏃🏻♂️
Awesome Danny. I always wondered why there wasn't more videos about the Faroh Islands. Glad you finally got this put together!
Spectacular video!! Really enjoy it. You continue to be a real inspiration - to just get out and make the most in life at whatever level of ability and fitness
Pumped up the theme song bass on the last 2 vids. Love it!!!
As always, great views, great commentary, and great adventure! It's hard to believe someone could give this a thumbs down.
Epic landscape 👍
Danny you are fantastic, the very best on utube. Thanks for what you do.
So cool! Faroe Island looks great
Thanks so much for sharing your videos with us. They're wonder (except for the explicit puking). I appreciate how much time you invest in creating and editing your trips. I love your drone footage. I've considered buying one but am concerned about crashing it into a tree, lake, or cliff, after which my wife would immediately confiscate the remote control. I'm looking forward to viewing all of your videos, after which I should be considered as one of your official fans.
i live in klaksvïk and u have been so lucky with the weather when u arrived!! its one of the places it rains the most all year ;D
With that beard, Danny looks like a propa YT influencer 🤩
Been waiting for a new video. You guys are the best & so inspiring 💗 ❤
I know it’s with great effort that you pack that drone with you, but Damn dude if that’s not some of the prettiest shots of those islands. Like always, great shots Danny
When are you guys gonna fess up to dropping that monolith in the Utah desert?
That's what Blake has been doing for the past year! It takes a while to drag a couple hundred pounds of aluminum out into the desert.
Yeah.......Norwegian Girls have a way of, ummmmm, I forget. But they totally do.
The island is Danish ;)
@@UejKlaVV He said the girls were Norwegian.
@@UejKlaVV No, the Faroe Islands are not Danish, but Faroese ;)
@@UejKlaVV the Faroes are an autonomous colony of Denmark, and as such has nothing to do with Denmark. We have our own language, culture and way of life. Never say to a Faroe Islander that they are Danish because they will be offended ;)
@@HeriEystberg I'm sorry, thanks for clarifying this!
How do you self-film so well!? Another epic adventure, thanks for taking us along!
Great video, great music! Your a beast! Reminds me of training with Hawk Harper 20 years ago (Runners Corner)
Another beautiful vista
Oh wow this is the Island i live in
Hey! Nice to see this trip series continue. That trip to the Faroes seems like a grind though. I'd love to see it someday but definitely not on bike.
Seeing those views in person would render me in awe
Ok now I want to film some episodes there! Those drone shots are so good.
What is your intro music? I want to download so I can pump myself up before my adventures.
8:32 what an incredible shot.
I thought .. hmm Faroes are not that bad in November - then I read the video description :)
Beautiful camera work.
keas in NZ are like that too. they'll get in your cars.
You should have made a left turn and gone to Gjógv. It's such a picturesque little village nestled between the high mountains. It's very quiet there. Of course, the road there is very steep, long and winding, so it would require some serious leg muscles.
I love how part of the Mountain broke off into the sea making the little slip for boats.
wind is the soul killer
As an Irish fan of MA, but also a fan of singing the Wild Rover, I am torn as to who I have sympathy for here...
Haha respect for other tourists or a big session with the lads a tough call
Before that clip was shown I was thinking it was Irish campers making the noise.
@@30m3 I'm sure that was a tape of the Clancy brothers, with perhaps a few others joining in.
Love your videos!
you should come to the uk at some point and do some mountain challenges, they may not be as big as over in the states but there full of character and and still pack a punch if you underestimate them. 3 main challenges that i can think of are in Wales, Scotland and England respectively. Welsh 3000's - 50km with nearly 4000m of ascent 15 summits, Ramsey Round - 58 miles taking in 24 summits with a total climb of around 28,500 feet ascent, Bob graham round 66 miles (106 km) with 26,900 feet (8,200 m) of ascent 42 summits. All 3 are 24h challenges.
Would love to see the Mediocre guys doing some stuff here in the UK, Welsh 3000s is a good contender. Would pale in comparison to what they do in the US, but think they'd still have good fun
That would be awesome
Oh come on, if you're living in the US are you going to spend the same amount of money to go fell running in the lake district OR hit the proper alps which have loads of breath taking routes, hut to hut running, generally much better weather and food? I think the choice is obvious...
Dude, you keep reminding me of my 70s and 80s adventures. By the way, I'm bald now...😉
Happy holidays !!
Those islands are ccRRRAZAY!
I was there June 2019, I wanted to return this year....DAMN Covid. BTW, your best bet from the U.S. is fly to Iceland and
catch Atlantic Airways to Faroes. There are very few flights though.
Sunglasses in the Faroe Islands. haha
Hell yeah yall rock!!
Brilliant video. But how on earth do you get to the Faroes with a bike? I live in Europe and the Faroes are still remote AF.
Amazing!
Im sure its been asked and answered so many times before... but what drone do you use? Currently looking at buying my first!
I was there with the DJI mavic Air, It was too small to handle the strong winds, There was a girl there flying the Mavic Pro 2
and it handled the wind well.
been waiting for this one haha
What made you want to go the Farro Islands? I mean you could have gone anywhere
Awesome
It was like Willy Wonkas boat tunnel of terror!
U guys have to hit mt baker or glacier peak
You'll hit 100,000 subs before you know it
Cool.
Whenever you can you have to get over to the Pyrenees and do the GR11 or HRP
Sounded like they might have been watching a futbol match in those campers... I wonder who won🤔.
Nah, just a load of Irish
This is great
I like to think of riding in the wind as climbing a hill that never ends. I love when the road goes up but I hate the wind, my legs don't know the difference, just my stupid brain.
Nice vid
You should go to Hawaii and do the kalalau trail
What are mau-tens Danny?
cool
🇳🇴🇺🇸🇳🇴
I want to ski there
Why there? Random
Does your wife know about that two norwegian girls ;)
Official Counter: Mediocre Amateur videos since Danny's last puke: 2!
While this video was filed years ago, it was just published so it counts. See you next video.
I know who he is talking about when he says thoes two girls at 8:20 XD
Why stop partying when the sun's up, right?
In summer in the Faroes the sun never actually sets ;-)
@@beeclimbing9954 The best photography in the summer there is 8pm- 6am.
That’s Europeans for you, we love a good sing song. 1:30 is dinner time
Always get a change of attitude from watching your videos!
6:58 C’mon man, respect the guidelines, no need to provoke more restrictions
he finally looks like a man with that facial hair lol
