Young man, VFR flying is VERY different from IFR flying especially in an area with NO airways and NO instrument approaches.
In fact, going unplanned IFR in these coastal mountain conditions will only get you in trouble.
But I've only got 22K flying VFR and IFR, fixed wing and helicopter, on four continents so what the hell would I know. 🙄
