- In the summer of 2014 I decided to fly my airplane to the Idaho backcountry. I was a newly minted private pilot with less than 100 hours total time. This is the story.

One of my favorite videos... I’ve been re-watching this since before I had my own Bush plane. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Thank you!
Like others have said, I rewatch this every few months to remind myself why I enjoy flying. It helps bring me confidence. Thank you for that.
I realize that this was put out several years ago, but the message is timeless, and the content beautiful. I'm 63 and starting my build on a Rans Outbound. I cant wait to do this trip. Thanks for sharing this important time in your life as a pilot and a person.
One of the best aviation videos I have watched on RUclips to date.
I watch this for years to remind myself of why I want to fly.
At 67 years old, I am finally finding the time to get my fixed wing add-on to my Private Pilot Certificate (I've been rated in Helicopters since '85) and I'm looking forward to many solo travels, especially through Idaho. Your video has been most inspirational. Thanks for the confidence booster.
I keep watching this twice a month since you uploaded it.. and still remains one of the best productions I've ever seen...
Thanks for sharing...
Edoardo Calistro wow!!!! thank you for saying that. It really means a lot to me!
Blue skies and tailwinds mate... have a wonderful life
You sir are a Man among Men. There should be a Medal awarded for Courageously Living Your Dreams.
There is something about this video that I have always loved. I have watched it multiple times. Probably the lack of editing out things with adding fluff and just feeling like you are actually there with ya. Great job.
I enjoyed your adventure back country flying. It was the final moments of the film all the sorrow came back. You see Tyler sounded like a good friend to be around but Tommy Weiss was our Civil Air Patrol's Commander Major Greg Weiss. Tommy was one of 2 son's that Greg taught how to fly his Cessna 170B . Greg died of a heart seizure before Tommy's death. Tommy was a Captain in the Corvalis Oregon fire dept paramedic. When I joined the CAP Greg was very knowledgeable funny and outspoken. I did not know his son's personally but Greg was so proud of their accomplisments. I myself had a Mooney 231 Ilike the speed and the positive control of torque tubes. Take care and be well.
Beautifully put together video. Sorry for your loss.
Count your blessings. In 48 years I've never had that kind of adventure. With your mindset there is nothing that you can't accomplish. Good luck sir.
Thank you sir!
Great music throughout and a great trip. Love the honesty of feeling scared, mark of a good pilot.
love the video. thanks it reminded me why I got into flying and why I built a low and slow..... great work and what an experience.....
Stumbled across this as I’m just starting my first steps into aviation and I can’t tell you how much I love this. Thank you!
Stumbled onto this via backcountry pilot vid. What a lovely piece of work. thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much for that video experience. Nice job. Rest in peace Tyler.
This video never gets old. I watch every so often to remind me and stir in me that great feeling of why I fly in the first place. The adventure and confidence it has given me being a private pilot. Thanks for this inspirational video.
God bless you for following a dream. That was an epic undertaking for a low time pilot. Just awesome!
This is now my favorite video that I have ever seen! Your narration was excellent, and you captured the deep passion for flying that most people will never experience. You went to the places that most of us flat landers dream of flying to. I will watch this video many times over. Thanks for the ride. I may have to point my 170's nose NW one of these days. Man what a trip you made! Safe Travels always.
One of the best aviation videos I've ever seen. Absolutely fantastic work.
Very well made aviation flick. Keep up your training!
I lived in Boise for about 15 years and still have friends who live in Garden Valley. We spent many weekends camping in those mountains. This is a great video. Well done young man !
Thanks for sharing your trip out to Idaho and back. It's a reminder of what I have missed over the last 40 years... Don't feel bad... it's a boost to get building on my aircraft.
Great video, Evan...just great! Not sure how I missed it all this time but worth the wait. Sure gets the juices flowing for another trip to Idaho. Fun to see some of the same people I've met thanks to our BCP connection...and also to think how much has changed since then. Love this aviation stuff and hope our paths cross someday! Bart
I wanted to tell you how much I so appreciate you sharing this video. I am humbled to watch your great adventure that I hope to do someday. Money always seems to be an issue for me and with my hearing impairment I almost gave up on it. Then Ultralight kit planes came to existence. So...maybe I too can fly my dreams as you did yours. I love the music you have selected. Lucky for me I live in Oregon so a Idaho trip will be a short one for me.
still one of my favorite YT videos, thanks for sharng
Thank you for watching!!!
So many awesome people I have met on RUclips thanks for sharing this Brother it was a joy to watch and listen to
Every so often I come back and watch this video. Without fail it always re-focuses my love for aviation and causes me to crave the adventure of a cross-country trip to a place like Idaho. It’s a challenge to produce something that inspires people to this degree, but you nailed it with this video.
What a awesome experience! Thank you for sharing this!
I owe my direction of life now due to the inspirational videos chosstronaut had posted to RUclips his video what do you desire moved my lufe back on track. I bought a savannah vg flew it 980nm home for my first real cross country experience and now have done more flying in the past 6 months than I had in the previous 10 years.
This video is the single best thing I have seen come out of RUclips since chosstronaut posts everything rings true, the thoughts of turning around, being scared being only your desisions but without being outside that comfort zone we would not have a life to document and possibly change someone else's. thank you great job keep it up and from Australia fly safe.
Travis, I have heard many times that Tyler's videos were an inspiration. His true passion came through in everything that he did. He was a great person with a big heart.
Thank you for the nice comment. This is the message that I was hoping to convey- The reality of an adventure like this.
Fly safe and take care!
This probably the tenth time I’ve watched this video and it never gets old. I haven’t been able to fly the last 2 months because of all that’s been going on. This video represents everything I love about being a pilot. Grass fields, adventures, freedom, friendships. Whenever I’m missing the sky I watch this video and it renews my love for flying
Thank you so much for saying that. Glad it has helped in these strange times we are in!
Evan, This is Outstanding!!! Loved every second of it!!!
What a wonderful video. You make a lot of people envious and happy at the same time!
Sorry about your friend.
A beautiful little film taking you right along for the ride.
Thankyou for sharing.
That guy at the campfire should have an album!
Absolutely agree!
Kitty Wells beat him to it
Hank Thompson would be proud though
Agree!
That's dale from the bar. He always be singing. Which is why I love Idahome.
One of the best videos I've seen. Great job!!!
Thank you for posting this video. It's my inspiration and I have watched it multiple times now. I just purchased a Badland Aircraft ultralight kit and plan on living a similar dream on a much smaller scale; fly around the local desert and camp under the wing.
Thanks again,. Every time the dream fades a little against the backdrop of reality, this video revives it in technicolor. I can't wait to build my plane and finally live a similar adventure.
Poundingsand thank you for the nice comment. Keep pushing forward man! Do something every day to move forward, no matter how small.
wonderful video. Love the west and have many great memories having been stationed at Ellsworth AFB, SD a lifetime ago. Your video hit home.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome adventure!!
Cheers brother! I know it's been a while since you posted this but this video brought a tear to my eye. I grew up in Bozeman and my dad would always go to different fly ins and small airports around Montana . I attribute that to my interest in aviation and longing to fly in the backcountry. Sadly I moved away to New Jersey when I was 13. I now have 38 hours of flying in New Jersey and am hoping once I get my license and finish high school I could fly a trip like this back out west. I think the west holds such a special place in our hearts. Thanks for posting such a well done video! Hope to see you out there one day!
Sorry for the delayed response, but heck yeah. Hope to meet you someday!
Beautiful video, storytelling and music. Thanks for creating this content and sharing. Tail winds Captain!
Great job putting the video together.
Fly safe.
Great video, nice story. I am out of my comfort zone just starting flying lessons at 62 ! You should be proud of this accomplishment young man !
Watching this really made me miss my days of flying. Really great video, well done!
Awesome video man! I was holding short on the lake bed when Tom and Tyler collided. Something I'll never forget. I will also never forget my first trip to Idaho from CA in my 2-stroke powered Avid Flyer.
Great job brother. Glad to finally see it!
Very inspirational and moving video. Great job with the storytelling! All the best from Alberta Canada!
Hello from New Zealand.
Iam not a pilot but watch a lot of aviation via this platform. Just watch this video and have to say how awesome it was. Infact going to watch it again. Thank you Evan. It really touched my heart.
Thank you for the kind words. Means a lot! I had a great time making it.
Great film, it was awesome to come along for the long cross-country. I'm a commercial helicopter pilot and will start fixed wing training in June, we live out here in Utah, I'm looking forward to landing at some of our more remote airfields someday soon. Thanks again for sharing your experiences.
That was really enjoyable to watch! Great camera work, editing, and narration. That had to be a really fun and challenging adventure! 🍻
Awesome video man, really well done. Looking forward to having my license some day and getting a bush plane of my own. Thanks for keeping the inspiration alive!
Awesome video! Enjoyed your adventure!
What a great film. Thank you
Thank you, took me back years! I am a licensed Pilot, lived in Salmon, ID - 3 years. Flew many times into the "Flying B"! I have been to many remote strips in the "Frank Church Wilderness Area". Including landing on Mine tailings at Yellowknife. Great Aircraft Super Cub!I have landed on a Frozen Lake in upper Idaho in a Cub on Skis. Enjoyed the Mountains, Hot Springs, etc.
So well presented,a story of personal adventure and determination,really enjoyed your story,blue skies and good landings sir.
Thank you!
Very nice video and narration. You do a nice job. Flew in a Cub as a kid with a ole boy here. Best times . Safe travels
Beautifully filmed, love the vibrant colours .....it really shows the country at its best
Some great photography there. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Thank you!
Well done, flying and video presentation.
Great vid and thanke for the post. Being a native, it still blows me away that anyone would travel so far to go to Garden Valley. I've been to all these locations countless times.
Just wanted to say I truly enjoyed your adventure. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Chris
Awesome well put together
adventure of a lifetime. Thanks
for sharing.
What you show in video is truth in loves contentment. Like an amber light touching gently upon a soul. This large grandness speaks through you and also in us all to play and dwell in. This what we are is greater than we can imagine. Share what you are and let it be known for all to see. You are a beacon. Thank you and be free forever. :)
Amazing story! Great production man - keep 'em coming!
Thanks for the ride! I really enjoyed it and sorry for the lost of your Friend.
Great video. Reminds me of the early Warren Miller ski movies. Great adventure. Thanks
Top quality stuff right here. Great Work
Loved watching your adventure. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching. I had a great time making it!
Working on my private and inspired by this video, awesome adventure.
Great video! I grew up in Idaho. I have been to most of the places that you flew into. Beautiful state! I once flew myself. Just the basics though. Your video gives me the inspiration and drive to one day visit my home state via back country flying. Keep up the great flying videos.
Thanks for sharing this inspiring video - I envy the aviation community over in the states - it's absolutely nothing like this over in the UK. Cheers.
Wow what an awesome video! Really one of the greatest I've seen so far! Keep making movies like this please :)
Very nicely done. I'm a lurker on BC pilot and want to make a trip like you have. Just have to finish my airplane. Now that I'm retired I have more time to build parts.
Stunning. Thank you for this.
One of the best flying videos on YT...what an adventure!
very inspirational video, thanks for making and posting
Very nice documentary. Loved every minute.
I live in Idaho and have been to many of the places shown. Great video!!
Just stumbled on this one, great adventure thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
Enjoyed the adventure and really liked your choice of music. It's been 4 years since my last trip to the Idaho back country. Thinking about going again next year. But, right now planning a New England trip in Oct with a stop at the Wad fly-in.
Awesome video, trip and inspiration!
This is a great video/documentary. I will be completing my microlight pilot license next year, as well as my fixed wing license. This inspires me to also make an adventure film. Happy flying!
Thanks for this documentation of a great adventure.
I heard about Tyler and cried
Rest In Peace Tyler
Inspirational, thanks for the great video. I hope to do something similar in my Ercoupe some day.
This is so cool! Reminds me a lot of my trip from Seattle to Oshkosh last summer. I'm planning a trip to Idaho and Wyoming for this summer in my Zenith CH701.
Awesome man- and thanks for introducing me to VSQ!
I loved every bit of that video. Well done indeed. 👍🏻
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Thanks so much for sharing! You've fed my inspiration even further...now i have to convince my wife that doing this one day is a great plan...=)
Do it. You only live once. One of my most memorable days was when my wife gave me the thumbs up. She said I worked hard, I deserve it. I hope yours does (did) the same for you.
Great video, great job putting it all together.
Nice editing job. Great narration. Wonderful trip summary at the end. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks Ted!
Good video.
Great images.
Thanx for posting.
Thank you for sharing, love this!
Nice video and soundtrack, beautiful plane and great country!!!!
Very nice video. Flew Seattle area to Oshkosh and back this summer in my Kitfox, and had some similar adventures and feelings of trepidation and accomplishment. Will be making Idaho the focus next summer, and looking forward to the backcountry.
good video and great story! thank you for sharing your adventure!
Great film, thanks for sharing.
Great adventure! Working on eventually purchasing a cub to do similar flights. Cheers from Washington County, Ohio.
