Juan, I have been wanting to ask you where your 777 travels have taken you to lately and what's on the 777/787 horizon ? I love ALL of your videos including the $$$ trips across the ponds during C-19 !~! Fantastic channel, person, pilot - All of the above and more ! ! THANKS !~!~!, USAF retired B-52 D, F, H, KC/EC-135s, 4 NC-141As, NC-130s airframe mechanic/supvr, Castle, U-Tapao, Wright-Patt :))
Sitting here in Breckenridge today, about to prepare to leave for a 6 day Idaho river trip next week and got buzzed by a Lockheed HC-130J, shook the whole house. Then I I open up RUclips and see this post. Well done Juan.
I just use a $100.00 Jetboil which burns no mess isobutane propane mix gas, and some expandable heating duct hose. Been using this setup at -25 celsius in Northern Canada for years. Very light setup too. Good video!
Could share more about this setup? How long it takes, how you affixed to the burner, etc. Is there any temp at which you find you have to switch to propane to get enough heat? BTUs look similar between XGK and latest Jetboils so this is intriguing.
@@robbygrossman4694 I use only 1 fuel, the isobutane/propane mix 4 season fuel. I picked up some collapsable ducting from hardware store. I just set jetboil on ground and put the ducting into cowl and startup the jetboil. Easy, simple, and lightweight.😉
Next time you go camping with some flyers, you should really film some campfire stories. Where tall tales of adventure and conquest, and even some stories that are true sometimes, can be told, laughter had, then shared with your international audience here on RUclips. Cheers again from Winnipeg.
That heater was nice but man you think a guy that’s handy could make something up like that with the guts from a Colman stove and a piece of stainless stove pipe and a scat tube. Great video thanks for sharing👍
My dad (a geologist) told a story about the usual method of preparing a Norseman, their favourite aircraft, for flight at -40F in February in the Northwest Territories. Put up a tent over the nose of the aircraft and build a fire beneath it. He said they never (actually, almost never) lost an aircraft that way. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "engine fire". I do have an old photo somewhere of this. From the late 1930's I think.
The Beaver's R-985 had (long ago) an oil dilution control valve which introduced fuel into the oil before shutdown in extremely cold weather to allow for easier cranking in the morning. The fuel would flash off soon after startup and caused no problems. It also had an electric inertia starter requiring the pilot to engage a clutch to spin the engine, nifty old systems!
Mr. Brown, a friend of mine works at Nevada county airport….he gave me your name, which I didn’t recognize, then when looking you up it was a nice surprise to see id been following you for some time…anyway I told him I knew you by your RUclips name and by your husky as that is a favorite of mine…I’m here in Idaho, it’s truly a small world x)…love the channel and keep flying that aviat!
Another great video Juan. In Alaska a lot of guys will drain the oil after landing and take it inside the cabin or tent to keep it warm and also use either a space heater or other some such with a cowling blanket. You're sure giving that Husky a workout and developing some fine bush flying skills ta' boot! Mahalo for all you do!
That is an "all fuel" burner. I can burn mogas, avgas, white gas, and other fuels. The only difference is soot. White gas is the cleanest, but in a pinch, burning avgas will work just fine. Just a tiny bit of soot which can be cleaned off. Cheers from Winnipeg.
My dad flying air ambulance in Saskatchewan back in the 50s and 60s told me about roping off the ice on the wings and using canvas and some kind of heater to heat the engine when you have to stay overnight in a small air strip. Back then he flew a Cessna 195 tail dragger and much more modern planes in the years to come.
I remember the roping days..I don't miss them. My kid sold Cirrus aircraft for quite a while and they kept them in news helicopter hangers..no rope needed..lol
You had it easy...when I was a lot younger, I had a friend who had a Cessna 152, I believe it was, that was parked at Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airfield (CYRO), formerly the Canadian Air Force Airbase Rockcliffe. It was one of the first official Canadian airfields in Canada, being established in 1918. Today, it shares the former base with the Canadian Aviation Museum, with the airfield operated by the Rockcliffe Flying Club. My friend had an arrangement with me during the winter that if I came out on a Saturday or Sunday morning and helped him clean all the snow off the plane, he would take me up flying. As you can imagine, during the winter, it was pretty dang cold, especially in the morning. The engine oil was as thick as molasses. The airfield had a forced air propane burner with a bunch of ductwork that they had used aviation safety wire to attach to a kid's sled along with a propane cylinder. I would start cleaning the plane off while the heater did the job of warming up the engine, which would take about a half hour. Then, after returning the heater, or the next person grabbing it from us, it would be pre-flight, and then off to the skies.
In northern Ontario Canada we used a glow pot under a tarp thrown over each engine for a twin beech expeditor cargo plane with PW 985 .I would leave the glow pots on till the frost came off the nose domes (OAT Temp -50 F) Engines always started !! Note I would bring the batteries into the bunkhouse at night to keep warm.
What in the world do you say about that? Enjoy every minute of what you are doing and where you are on that side of the country my friend. What a spectacular adventure.
Those mountains extend across the border into Canada where I live. Been wearing frickin' long johns for the last few days. Fresh snow on the ridge tops every night. Lovin' your adventure. Those mountains feel like home to me.
Your videos are the only time I have ever thought ‘I’d like to visit the US sometime’……I’ve turned down numerous trips over the years as I have no interest in the US what so ever but these camping trips look amazing.
Yup! I did that with my car in Connecticut one winter. The engine finally started, but the transmission was still frozen solid, and I managed to do something to the gears that ended the life of that vehicle (for me, but a new owner knew how to fix it). At least I knew not to throw hot water on the windshield to get rid of the ice. ;-)
If nothing else the time required to get the engine heater going is time well spent on conversation and inspecting your own plane. Your experience is showing Juan.
JUAN, hello, cold yes, Our MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WAS A WASHOUT 2.5 “ rain cold enough that I had to crank up the steam boiler ! Blue skies & tailwinds, cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What a pleasant video to watch, love the music, the place, the planes. So relax and full of life, flying life. Not easy to edit so much content, thank you for gift of a video
Well I'll be dammed! I know Jeff Martins Dad. I remember (some time ago now) John telling a group of us via the internet about the purchase of the Broussard and posting some pics of it. I recognized it immediately. Small world sometimes.
Those cold mountain shadows look like they come early and stay late. Personally, I would like a longer flex hose between that bottle of white gas and the open flame during the adjustment process...
The French aircraft I’ve seen at the Lompoc airport at the annual Piper Cub fly in . I’d done a jump out of a stearman and noticed her on the transient tarmac, really cool plane. I’d love to jump from her! Cool video Juan.
Your Husky looked like Mikey’s DC3’s when you had the heater and blanket on it. Love the music as you flew away!! I really enjoy your videos when you travel. We need to always learn the real story from accidents, but your travels are much fun!!
My dad spent some time in Alaska after WWII, working for the CAA to put in radio navigation equipment. He said when a pilot landed in winter, he would drain his engine oil into a 10-tin (a large food tin can) and bring it in an place it on a rack above the stove. I'm not sure how warm the oil would be after poring back in a frozen engine, but he made it sound like it worked.
@@murphsmodels8853 The oil couldn't be hot enough to handle in a tin can, average say 100F The metallurgy in an engine is such that a temp spread of 100F down to -30F does not present any issues. Many bush pilot drained the oil into a sealed container and put it in their sleeping bag if they had to camp out, First the oil kept them warm, then Their body heat would keep the oil well above the gelling point. When they were done packing up the oil was hastily returned to the engine and started asap. Some engines in the old days had a pump that would inject fuel into the engine oil at shut down to keep it thinned out. The fuel then would vaporize off as the oil warmed during the next start up..
I like the way he flew in like that pretty cool I like the Western music goes good with the background he sure likes to travel light doesn't he got a pinion wouldn't it be easier to park the plane on the side that the sun comes up just asking☀ looks like a nice Campground though🏞 I would say it'd be nice to get a heater like that pretty expensive huh but it seemed to work good for you he does have a nice plane thank you so much my friend for taking me flying with you you know I enjoy that for sure I hope you had a good camp out and a good time thanks once again God bless take care🙏🤠🛩
Juan, you’re having way too much fun! What’s up with your commercial pilot career? Did you retire and we missed it or are you still waiting for the airlines to get moving? Great short videos. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for the travel log. 🤗
Back home from this adventure now...back to work on Friday- 777 landings currency sim.
Glad your home safe Captain, we sure have enjoyed your adventures with you. Back to work, to bring home the bacon. Your neighbor in Merced.
Our 1981 Bonanza is getting some much needed new leather seats and the works. It's a great work horse for us.
Idaho is so beautiful, thanks for sharing your adventures, Juan.

Stay warm and enjoy Idaho back country.
Fine approach, some floating...

Great video. Looks like a fun trip.
The cattle haul cowboy movie music is pretty cool.

beautiful scenery.
What a charming little piece of video - thanks for the scenes and sounds!
That heater was nice but man you think a guy that’s handy could make something up like that with the guts from a Colman stove and a piece of stainless stove pipe and a scat tube. Great video thanks for sharing👍
LOL "converting gas to noise" That pretty well sums it up..
Definition of an afterburner.
Looks like a good time
Better and better and more better!

Magnificent scenery, stunning part of the world.

Nicely produced Juan. Honing your skills on the RUclips channel.
Looks like great fun. Beautiful scenery and good soundtrack!
Put that Air Force Survival School training to good use building that fire! Loved the video!

Awesome! Thank you for what you do so that we can all enjoy it.
Juan one of your best production quality videos to date. The closing music gave me chills.
You have more fun than the legal limit. Wish I could join ya. Enjoy.
Loved the addition of the music Juan!
What a great upload. Loving the music too!!
Thanks as always your videos are great. Thanks for letting us follow you around.
How are the kids?
Those cold mountain shadows look like they come early and stay late. Personally, I would like a longer flex hose between that bottle of white gas and the open flame during the adjustment process...
Good times! 2 Thumbs up
June at Johnson Creek is one of my favorite things ever.
Awesome trip and great video as always!
Love the back country. Amazing
Nice landing, and a gorgeous plane! Great video.
absolutely wonderful ,great musical score !
You have really made a great life for yourself!
Juan what a beautiful area thanks for sharing and I loved the background music!
Loved the music. Made me think of The Great Escape.
That late season low pressure has really cooled things off in the west,you guys are prepared but what a pain in the butt in June!
Lol the old western movie music JB. Yeehaw!
Holy ice batman! Good to have great friends.
Take care and fly safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼

I saw his plane in DVT about three or four months ago. It’s a beast.
And she said: “......🎵 How’s the frost out on the Husky?” Jaun Bumpkin’. Keep up the great work and videos. 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 Enjoy the SIM.
brilliant music for this

YOu gotta wonder about thermal shock. Cold engine block, warm or hot oil...could lead to a cracked engine block.

A grain scoop shovel filled with charcoal brickettes works pretty damn good as well. Cheaper too! Maybe 60 bucks total.

That is the part I like the most is the memories he is giving Capt Pete
Incredible footage!
Was that a "Curtis Lemay" pose with the stogie?
Was that Jack Helders old Bruchard?
Beautiful sir great place to fly
Loved the John Wayne western soundtrack!
"Hoedown" by composer Aaron Copland. An American original.
Juan, looks like a whoooole lot more fun than my twice weekly flights between ORD-BOI this month!🤣🤣 But oh how I enjoy flying out west!
Looks amazing! Enjoy your trip!
Awesome, simply awesome 😎.
God bless America long live the Republic
Thanks again Juan.
So happy I subscribed.
God bless and stay safe.

You should be able to make that heater contraption much cheaper out of flu pipe from the Big Box Hardware, and a camping stove from Walmart.
Thank you for sharing! Great video! Let's go flyin', yes please!
