A short vlog-style YouTube video (recorded March 10, 2016) by Nate Buchanan documenting a ziplining canopy tour in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The hosts (Nate and Kara Buchanan) wake early (~6:30 AM), ride an hour into the jungle to the Flight of the Gibbon course, hear a safety briefing from their guide Mr. B (and assistant "Banana"), and complete multiple zipline runs including a claimed 800-meter-long line described as the longest in Asia. The organized group is described as "eight people only" and the guide gives a tour duration of "2 hours, 5 minutes and 20 seconds." The trip includes wildlife sightings (gibbons), a final rappel, a provided lunch, and a hike past several waterfalls before returning to town.

Today we're going on an adventure.
We're going on a ziplining canopy tour through the jungle of Chiang mai. It's like 6:30 in the morning. We're waiting on our tour bus to pick us up. We picked the early tour because the city sunlight's supposed to be awesome and we should get to see more monkeys.
This is our first zip lining tour experience, and we can't wait.
And they have a zip line that's 800 meters long, which is supposed to be the longest in Asia.
I think they're here.
All right.
We're in the van.
Welcome to Flight of the Given. You have an exciting adventure ahead of you. But before you begin.
We just drove like an hour into the jungle.
Everything is so green and jungly. What's your name?
Okay, that's it.
Thanks. Banana.
What's your name?
Thank you.
We are strapped in and ready to go.
Starting to feel a little nervous.
Oh, man.
We just made it to the first platform.
Good morning. Good morning.
Before we start, give me a few minutes for safety talk first.
Okay. The first.
My name is B. You call me Mr. B. And that guy Banana, that take care of you. Today we will spend time together. It's eight people only. 2 hours, 5 minutes and 20 seconds.
Okay.
Get it.
Get it.
They're getting longer.
We're about to go on the longest zip line on the course.
Step down.
See ya.
Get it.
Get it.
That was nuts. I felt like I was going forever. We were over all the trees. Love it.
I don't know how far we are above the jungle floor, but this platform is swaying like crazy. At least it feels like crazy when you're up here.
Sam.
We spotted a given.
Oh, my gosh.
You see, the brown one is the female. The back is always male.
That is the cutest little one.
They call this one the Superman.
This is our last jump. Then we're repelling all the way down this tree.
Sadly, the flight of the gibbon has come to an end.
We got a fancy lunch.
It's a feast.
It looks delicious.
Apparently there's a waterfall included in this trip.
The waterfalls were awesome. It was just like one waterfall after another. I bet we hiked up like, seven waterfalls and they kept going. We didn't even make it all the.
Way to the top.
We just got back and came straight to our favorite coffee shop.
Today was a blast.
Thanks. Fly to the gibbons.
Get it.
Get it.
What are you doing, man?
Oh, it's lost the camera.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, hold on right here.
What happened? Hey.
Okay.
Did you think you're going to die.
God, we've already been traveling together for, like, two months, and now they've chained us together. I've needed a lease for a while. No more shopping.
