You know what day it is?

Drone day.

Oh, I thought it was Wednesday.

It is Wednesday.

Wednesday is officially drone day.

We are at one of our favorite spots

here at the Costa Rican Amphibian Research Reserve.

And Mark is going to fly the drone.

I'm going to kind of narrate what's going on.

We're going to get some super epic shots.

And maybe in this video, we'll have

a whole montage of super epic drone shots from Costa Rica.

Cool.

Now, this is a Phantom 4, right?

This is a Phantom 4 Pro.

It's our first drone.

We still haven't lost it yet.

Although, I got to be honest with you guys.

I've come close a couple of times to losing the Kestrel,

as we call it.

We now have a backup drone to the Phantom 4 Pro.

And we also have a Mavic, which Mario has been taking

on some test flights, right?

Yep, it's called the Blackhawk.

The Blackhawk.

So this is the Kestrel.

This is who will be flying today.

One of the things that's sort of important for all of you

droners out there is make sure you

put better glass than the drone comes

with over top of your camera.

So first thing I do after I put on the props,

I clean my polarizer.

And it's dark today.

It's a little cloudy, so we're not going to go with an ND.

We're just going to go with a standard polarizer.

I want to make sure there's nothing on the lens.

Yep.

We're going to attach that.

Bingo.

And now, we are ready to find a launch pad, which

can be tricky in the jungle.

Sometimes, I even have to use my backpack.

So we're going to take a quick look.

Yep, this is looking like a backpack launch situation.

So what I'm going to do, we're going

to go find a clear landing and take off space.

This looks good.

I'm going to try to flatten out my backpack, like so.

And I kind of have to hold it up off the backpack a little bit.

When you hold it up off the backpack, the camera clears.

OK.

Is this a dangerous little maneuver?

Because it looks like--

It's not technically what you're supposed to be doing.

But when you're in the middle of Costa Rica,

you have to make do with what you got.

And that's what I got.

I'm going to turn on my controller here.

Is this a dangerous spot for me

to be right here? - Probably.

So I probably don't want to sit here

when you take off the drone?

Well, I wouldn't sit there while I fire it up, in case

it tips over.

Oh, man.

I'm a little nervous, guys.

All right, you ready?

Almost.

OK, go for it.

And, take-off.

And just like that, we're flying.

I hope I got that shot.

Now, you're going to get down in this valley to get

some cool looking footage.

So when you're getting a shot on a drone,

you're basically looking for really good straight lines.

Like, where can I create contour?

Like right here looks like a good one.

I'm going to spin around, check my settings.

All right, let's get some shots.

There we go.

So I'm going to do this ramp right here.

You see I'm going to go up at over that crest.

All right.

Let me zoom in on this.

This is what we're going to do.

Here we go. Going for our first shot.

Ooh, that looks cool.

Well, my favorite thing about the drone

that it's added to our episodes has

been that aerial perspective.

I mean, before, we would have GoPro shots and 5D shots

from on the ground in the environments.

But now, we've got the opportunity

to show everybody what it looks like from a bird's eye

perspective.

And when you're in a place like the rainforests of Costa Rica,

you honestly can't grasp how massive this rainforest is

unless you're over top of it.

And we can get you a b-roll sort of pan shot from right

here on this knoll, and it looks epic,

but until you see it through the eye of the drone, I mean,

words just really don't do it justice.

Man, that looks epic.

Do you see this, like, knoll at the trees?

I'm going to try to just zing in here.

Oh, transition signal's weak, so that means I got to--

Uh oh. - got to back her up.

All right, so there's a kind of a "Jurassic Park" looking area.

Oh yeah, that looks

just like "Jurassic Park."

What's crazy too about droning is

you get to see parts of the rainforest

that you didn't even know existed.

I mean, we've been hiking all over the place.

We are on a 120-acres of protected rainforest

preserve right now.

And I've never seen that knoll.

Where is that?

It does look just like "Jurassic Park."

- It's right up there. - Oh, way up there.

Yeah.

Yeah, we've never hiked that far up.

That is up there.

All right, so now, this is where I

can really get kind of crafty.

So I'm going to make a dive back.

I'm going to cut my clip.

OK.

How long do you usually roll a clip for?

You know, I generally will roll the entire flight time.

Because, honestly, the most valuable thing rather than card

space is battery power.

So I'm trying to maximize what I'm going to get

out of every single charge.

So basically, every direction you head,

it's worth rolling because--

You never know.

- taking the time to come back around and do it a second time

is just eating up your battery.

Like, occasionally, I'm going to try for a specific shot.

Right.

- where I see something like--

I don't know if you guys saw the lighthouse

in the lobster pinch video.

That was something that I attempted

multiple times to finally get the shot I wanted.

But with something like the rainforest,

unless I see something really specific and unique,

I'm just out there trying to explore.

And just that process of exploring for fun

yields a lot of really cool shots.

So here's something really cool.

So you see this, guys?

Now, what's neat is the forest floor is going

to rise up with that incline.

So I'm just going in a straight line right now.

And as soon as that incline starts to hit,

you're going to see the forest floor start to rise.

So now, I'm going to slowly start to rise with it

and I'm going to progressively increase my speed of ascent.

And you're going to see a really cool warp here.

And this is where it becomes risky.

It's like, how far do you want to push it?

Yeah. Horse speed?

So I'm going fast.

Yeah, I could see that you're getting closer

and closer to those treetops.

Yeah.

Oh, I have to stop.

See that? Yeah.

Image transmission.

Weak transmission.

That means that I'm being blocked.

And now, that's one of those times

where it's like, you know, you could risk it and go for it.

But to be really honest with you guys,

it's not worth it because there's a high likelihood

you're going to miss the shot entirely because you're

going to lose connection.

And you may crash just based on not seeing what you're doing.

So in that instance, I'm just going to back off.

So here we go, guys.

Here comes another cool incline.

This one, I'll be able to make.

You'll kind of see my point.

So I'm full speed right now.

Gonna tilt the camera down a little bit.

You're going to see those trees start to come into play here.

Here they come.

This is where the risk factor comes in.

How much do you want to risk?

How close do you want to get?

Whoa!

That's epic!

And now, you're going to get a really cool reveal

of what's over the mountain.

I also really enjoyed the recent shots

you took in Hawaii. Ooh!

Those were epic.

Yeah, the--

which ones?

Uh.

Oh, man, countless.

The ones-- I like that.

Good answer, good answer.

Yeah.

There was that one epic one where you kind of like

were going along the coast, and Coyote

was on one of those lava rocks.

I timed the, uh--

I timed the wave crashing on the rocks.

I know exactly what you're talking about that.

See, that's an example of a shot where

I had to take multiple attempts to get the timing correct.

Mhm.

And then--

It took me like 15 runs.

- we went up that ridge,

and we got that epic kind of like "Jurassic Park" style.

Oh, yeah.

On the north side of the island? Yeah.

Oh, man, that was probably the most

beautiful place I've ever been.

All right.

Now, I've got to cut the shot.

And I'm going to--

every now and then, I just like to check in and make

sure I'm not terribly far away.

So I'm going away.

I'm coming back at us.

Ooh.

OK.

My screen just blitzed.

I just totally got a black screen.

Low battery warning.

Ooh, this is not good!

Oh, now you got-- dude!

No signal, low battery.

Oh, man.

But it has a home point, right?

Yep.

So it will always--

you just hit the Home button, and it will automatically--

Stopped going--

- return, right?

Battery level is low.

Hang on here.

Uh oh.

That's a lot of beeping, Mark.

Waiting to go home.

All right, guys, I've got to cancel these return buttons.

Stopped going home.

Oh, man, look at that face.

That's determination there.

You're pretty calm under this extreme pressure.

Let's just say I've been in this situation once or twice.

Well, a pilot can't panic, Mario.

If he panics now, we're not going to get the drone back.

And it is a ways out there.

We've got some good shots on there.

You better bring her home.

Yep.

Yeah, I'm going to go for one more close one.

Check this out. Gonna go close.

And he's even going to go for another one?

Oh yeah.

I'm not going to just fly for no reason.

Ooh!

That looks epic.

"Lord of the Rings" style right there.

Swooping through the trees!

Just like a kestrel.

I hear it.

Here she comes.

Oh, no.

This is bad.

Oh, my gosh.

It's landing right now.

I took it all the way down.

Look, it's going to land itself.

Its force landing itself?

I'm going to try to film this.

Now, you guys notice how I had to make

a makeshift launch pad, right?

Yeah.

Well, because of that,

we're also going to have equal difficulty landing.

So I'm going to show you--

kids, don't try this at home, OK?

You're not supposed to do this.

But when you're in the jungle and you don't have

a clear landing spot, you got to do

what we call a catch landing.

Woo!

Safe!

Nailed it!

Man! Dude!

- Wow. - That was--

I took it all the way to the limit on that one.

- a really close call.

That was seriously close, guys.

Like--

We almost lost the drone.

That was no joke.

I mean, I know we were giving all those warnings

at the beginning of the video, and then

we actually almost lost it.

It was about 1,000 feet out in the rainforest,

and it started to manually land.

I had no control over the altitude anymore.

And I was lucky enough--

I heard it.

And I was like, just get it closer, get it closer.

And luckily, I got it right over top of us.

I'm Captain Mark.

Be brave.

Stay wild.

We'll see you on the next adventure.

Woo! Hey, hey!

Single take!

Nice!

The island of Kauai is breathtakingly beautiful

and has provided an unforgettable

cinematic backdrop to some of Hollywood's most iconic films.

I could easily read off a list that spans a mile long,

but when it comes to the most timeless moment caught

on camera, I don't think any of us

will ever forget the arrival to "Jurassic Park."

That's my official Kauai "Jurassic Park"

shirt with the rooster.

By now, we all know that Steven Spielberg's dinosaur

masterpiece is my favorite film.

However, did you also know that it

is YouTube star Devinsupertramp's

favorite as well?

What's going on, guys?

It's another day off for the Brave Wilderness team.

And you probably saying to yourselves, day off?

You're filming an episode.

Of course we're filming an episode!

An "On Location" episode where we will be going out

with island helicopter tours.

Only today, it's going to be a little

bit different because I have my friend Devin Graham with me.

You may recognize him from the Devinsupertramp channel

on YouTube.

And today's extra special because we

both love "Jurassic Park."

This is true.

Here we go.

With nearly a billion views on his channel

that originate from some of YouTube's most epic videos,

Devin is arguably the best cinematographer

on the platform.

So working alongside him was nothing short of an honor.

Part of your tour is over the beautiful Napali coastline

today.

So you're flying over the ocean for a short period of time.

So the FAA requires that a flotation device

be worn around your waist like a fanny pack

during the entire flight.

And that's what this little yellow pouch is.

I'm going to have everybody gear up.

We're not going to pull on the orange tabs today or ever.

That is only for emergencies.

And I will help you.

Just hold that.

Devin, don't pull the orange tab.

They're kind of stylish.

Oh, yeah.

This is the new fanny pack.

It can also save your life.

New fanny pack.

OK, guys, so we have these little booties on our feet

to make sure that we keep the environment clean when we get

down there at the landing pad.

Woo!

Captain Gary is firing up the bird over there.

I could see that rotor spinning!

It's go time!

Is it exciting?

Oh yeah!

We have also teamed up with Island Helicopters, Hawaii's

only permanent outfitter that has permission to land at one

of the most breathtaking locations featured in "Jurassic

Park," the waterfall.

Get ready, because this episode of "On Location"

is going to be an adventure 65 million years in the making.

All right, guys, well, I'm pretty much set

and ready to go, but I've got some bad news.

I was just told inside you get major motion sickness if you

are inside of a helicopter.

Any time I'm on a boat, I'm hanging over the railing,

spilling my lunch into the sea.

So I apologize in advance if this turns into a puke video.

I think that's us back there.

You see that?

Is that our bird?

I think that's our bird.

Sweet!

Woo!

This is exciting!

My first time on a helicopter!

This is epic!

As we loaded into the helicopter,

the excitement was through the roof.

Before we knew it, the bird was lifting off,

and the adventure was underway.

Oh my god!

Our natural instincts

as video makers set in.

And everyone was doing their best

to capture the landscape through the eyes

of their respective cameras.

Woo!

But the ride was so intense, it was almost impossible to do

anything other than hold on.

The Jurassic Falls landing is Kauai's most elite tour.

And getting to the touchdown location

takes you on an incredible bird's eye view of the island.

Gary zigged and zagged through the canyons,

getting the helicopter breathtakingly

close to the treetops as we buzzed

above the beautiful landscape.

And while it may seem incredibly dangerous,

Gary has decades of experience and thousands of flights

under his belt, so we felt completely safe with our lives

in his hands.

Then, just when the ride couldn't be any more epic,

the falls revealed themselves.

There it is!

Woo!

Yeah!

Woo!

I started crying when that music came on.

That was great!

What did you think of that, Coyote?

Woo!

Didn't get motion sick at all.

I was just blown away with the scenery.

We've got an amazing pilot over here.

Gary absolutely nailed that landing.

Wow.

So this is where they filmed "Jurassic Park."

We're both massive "Jurassic Park" fans.

This is what made me want to make movies,

so this place is a massive deal for me.

It's in the movie where they land the helicopter

and they all get out, so this is the entrance

to "Jurassic Park."

How about that chopper ride?

Man!

Next-- I've been on about 50 helicopter rides,

and I've never flown that close to land that fast,

through waterfalls.

Like, everything was right there.

My adrenaline was going for sure.

We do a lot of crazy extreme stuff, so living it up.

That was good.

Yeah, man, we came within like, I'm going

to say 20 feet of that one.

You were like, oh my god!

Yeah, I honestly think I pooped myself a little bit.

Is this the falls up here?

Yeah.

So this is probably the road that they drove

the classic "Jurassic Park" jeeps down,

those awesome Saharas that were all decked out

in the "Jurassic Park" logos.

I so desperately want one of those.

I think this was the pathway that they

then drove off to get into the main course of the park on.

Which we're in the middle of nowhere,

so there's no way they could have driven to this spot.

They would have had to, like, fly them in.

They must have helicoptered in the Jeeps to get these shots.

And that's the coolest thing about movie sets.

It's all about how you stitch the pieces,

parts together like a big puzzle.

So they shot one thing here.

And Steven Spielberg and the crew

definitely walked right through this area.

It's cool to step foot in the same place as these legends.

Wow!

Look at this!

Holy mackerel!

What!

Come on, come on!

Are you serious?

And that must be where it was built right there.

That was the original landing pad.

You can see some of the structure that still exists.

Helicopter came straight down the falls.

Woo!

This is probably the most epic spot

that I've ever visited, certainly

for an "On Location" episode.

All right, guys, well, this is it!

Jurassic Falls!

I cannot tell you what it feels like to be in this exact spot

where the helicopter in the film came and touched down,

and the crew got out and experienced Jurassic

Park for the first time.

I mean, this is a movie that for me as a kid inspired me,

made me want to make films.

How about you, Devin?

It changed my life.

Like, no exaggeration.

So being on the location is next level.

And the mist, the water, you feel it all, the sounds.

And, yeah, this is in real life.

What's incredible is the energy that you can

feel radiating from this spot.

So I imagine as the crew stepped out of the helicopter,

I'll never forget the look on Sam Neill's face

when he stepped out, looking at what was to be Jurassic Park.

What it must have been like to be part of that crew making it,

not knowing that this movie was going to be one of the greatest

films ever in cinema history, and it

started right at this spot.

Woo!

That's amazing.

Right here, right here.

Try to just get as many shots as you can.

We still have to get back to the helicopter

here and buzz all around the island.

But I wish I could go out there and swim.

They don't let you do that.

But it looks beautiful out there.

And you can feel all the mist coming off of the falls.

Devin's down here just getting some shots,

shooting in 8K today.

This stuff is going to look epic.

We have 20 minutes here.

And you can spend all day here, so this

is like love-hate relationship because I can be here all day.

But you gotta do what you gotta do.

We are off.

Aw!

Sad!

I feel like John Hammond at the end

when he had to leave the park after

the T-Rex ate the raptors.

We're rushing, and we could stay there all day.

Like, easy, no problem.

But there's another heli that's trying to land.

We kind of pushed our limit, so everyone's getting in.

And we're off.

OK, guys, so Gary is going to actually take us to the falls.

We're going to slowly drop down just like the helicopter did

in the movie.

This is going to be something else.

That's crazy!

Woo!

And we are off, continuing the tour.

Now it's time to zip around the island through this canyon.

I'm turning the camera this way.

You guys are going to want to see this.

Woo!

Oh, ho, ho!

Now I know what it feels like to be a drone.

This is epic.

Oh!

Since its release in the summer of 1993,

"Jurassic Park" has continued to captivate the imaginations

of anyone who has seen the movie, just

like Devin and I, who have seen it

more times than we can count.

For the two of us, traveling by helicopter

and getting the incredible chance

to land at Jurassic Falls was a dream come true.

And I have a feeling that this won't be the last time you see

the "Brave Wilderness" team working

alongside YouTube's greatest cinematographer,

Devinsupertramp.

We made it!

Woo!

Well, we have landed.

Nobody threw up in the helicopter.

- Almost. - Even me.

I know you're feeling a little queasy right now, right?

I didn't think I would at all, but I'm still a little iffy,

give or take.

All I know is that this felt like an adventure

65 million years in the making.

Devin, thank you so much for coming out with us today.

I'm sure you got some epic shots.

We got epic shots.

And stay tuned, guys, because I have a feeling that there are

some more Jurassic-sized adventures

to come from both me and Devin.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave.

Stay wild.

We'll see you on the next location.

Woo!

Over and out.

Pew!
