Depois de muito tempo ancorados na Culatra, percebemos que um distorcedor seria necessário. Não é sempre que ele faz falta, mas em locais onde ficamos mais tempo, ter um faz bastante diferença. Então começamos uma pesquisa para encontrar um distorcedor fosse mais forte que a corrente e a manilha, para não termos um ponto falho. Foi aí que encontramos o S2 da Mantus, perfeito para o nosso sistema. A força de trabalho dele é de 2 toneladas, ou seja: muito mais forte que a nossa corrente. O S2 fica entre a corrente e a âncora, permitindo que ela gire livremente e evitando torções que podem enfraquecer o conjunto. Ele vem desmontado e você mesmo monta na hora da instalação, seguindo os passos indicados. Ele é feito em aço inox 316, super resistente, e deixou nosso sistema de ancoragem ainda melhor!✨ Menos torção, mais segurança, e mais tranquilidade pra curtir a vida a bordo do Utopia. [EN] After spending a long time anchored in Culatra, we realized that a swivel was necessary. It’s not something you always need, but in places where we stay for longer periods, it makes a big difference. So we started researching to find a swivel that was stronger than our chain and shackle, so we wouldn’t have a weak point in the system. That’s when we found the Mantus S2, perfect for our setup. Its working load is 2 tons, which means it’s much stronger than our chain. The S2 sits between the chain and the anchor, allowing the anchor to rotate freely and preventing twists that can weaken the system. It comes disassembled, and you put it together yourself during installation by following the provided steps. Made of 316 stainless steel, it’s super durable and has made our anchoring setup even better! ✨ Less twisting, more security, and more peace of mind to enjoy life aboard Utopia!

You can learn so much by taking whatever camera is available to you. Practice your buoyancy, composition, and editing. Then, when you're ready, you can move on to a more advanced setup. I recommend lights as the first big investment. Underwater photography and videography is an expensive hobby, so especially if you're on a budget, you want to be practical about your equipment decisions. Tell me what equipment you're working with! I am still figuring out what kind of setup I want to grow into, so it would be cool to hear what you're using and what you like/dislike about it. Watch the full video of this dive on my channel.

Flying My Dog for the First Time 🐾 | Preparing for Airplane Camping Adventures In this video, I take my dog flying in my airplane for the very first time to prepare him for airplane camping this summer. As a pilot and professional skydiver, I want to make sure my dog is completely comfortable with every part of the flying experience before we head out on longer aviation adventures together. We go step-by-step through the process of introducing him to general aviation: Sitting in the cockpit with the engine off Starting the engine and getting used to the noise Taxiing around the airport And finally, a short flight around the pattern He crushed the ground portion like a pro, but once we took off, he definitely got more nervous in the air. I kept the flight short and smooth so we could build up his confidence gradually. If you're a pilot flying with dogs or planning to go airplane camping with pets, this video shows how I’m easing my pup into it the safe way. ✈️ Dog-friendly flying tips? I’d love to hear them—drop them in the comments! 🐶 Subscribe for more aviation, skydiving, and travel adventures! #FlyingWithDogs #AirplaneCamping #BackcountryFlying #DogCamping #PilotDog #AviationLife #GeneralAviation #DogAdventure #BushFlying #FlightTraining #FlyingDog #PilotVlog #SkydiverLife #AdventureDog #DogFriendlyTravel
