Overlanding and Paramotor

[PapaDave]

Does anyone Overland and paramotor? I know some #vanlife people do, but looking more at more off road vehicles and how they mount their paramotor to their rigs to do full off roading up hard trails. For my rig it would need to be externally mounted, just looking to see other peoples’ solutions.
I’m in research mode to see if I want to add this to the Overlanding/hiking/biking that I already do :)

I’ve enjoyed Tucker Gott’s channel, around minute 2 he’s flying and it makes me imagine cruising over the desert or somewhere after a good day of hitting the trail.

Have never done that but it must be a hoot... and likely the safest way to fly.

Yeah they say it’s safer than small aircraft, and restrictions are pretty minimal since you launch off your feet. It seems like a fun diversion to add to seeing amazing countrysides via our rigs.

I have a tray that attaches to the hitch. But most trips I break it down and stow where the backseat was. The tray is great for the road but not the trail

Does anyone use a Rotopak for fueling paramotor? I like the design of them but don’t want to get one if it’s a chore to use fueling a nitro 200.

Looks fun where do you get one of those? These are classed as ultralights correct? So no license needed under 1500 ft like gyrocopters and ultralights/ gliders.

So I'm sure you've seen the Expedition Overland videos. They're into it. Me, personally... I don't see the need to leave a perfectly good ground. I'd poop myself.
