mouth 0 #1 August 5, 2004 After reading what B2 said about my packing skills to go to the DZ I figured I'd let you guess how many suitcases. I have 2 rigs, a full face helmet, 2 jumpsuits one with comp grips, shoes to jump in, a pillow, a sleeping bag, a jacket, a tote for shower stuff, shower shoes, clothes and vairous other smaller items. 1 rig will be worn on the plane along with my small backpack that I use as a purse. All the rest must be packed. So how did I do? 1? 2? 3? more -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moodyskydiver 0 #13 August 5, 2004 QuoteAmber.. just a warning, the airlines have a 50 pound weight limit per bag. Anything over that and you get charged extra per bag. No worries. I cheked my airline baggage policy before I packed. Each of my bags are under 35lbs(yes I actually weighed them).They just look like they're carrying a baby hippo inside. I just feel stupid strolling in w/these 2 big honking bags lol.Thanks for the heads up though. "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #17 August 5, 2004 The question isn't how many bags you have. The question is how many sherpas will you have at this boogie. Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this mean Derek won't be available?????Yes, Mark, I'm going to terrorize the WFFC just like I did Perris and Eloy. JP, the only thing I could find missing is the flashlight and maybe some wet wipes which will go in my purse, sunscreen is on my keychain, condoms not needed, my jacket is waterproof with a hood, hangover stuff in toiletry bag, no power strip necessary to my knowledge, don't need prozac or viagra, I have tissue that can be used in a pinch as toilet paper, no rope needed, and I think that about covers the entire list.
