NWFlyer 2 #51 December 22, 2004 Right now, I not only log but I blog (in significantly greater detail). But I'm still a student, so I'm doing/learning/ experiencing something new on every jump and there's plenty to document. I already enjoy going back and looking at my comments and thoughts from my earliest jumps and I imagine it will be really fun when I've been in the sport a while to go back and look at my early jumps, either in my log, my blog, or on video (heck, I'm *already* amused looking at my first video, taken just last Saturday!)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

DZJ 0 #53 December 22, 2004 I like to write reasonably detailed accounts of each jump I make, simply because it makes me think about what I did, rather than simply hop out the door, fall, pull and land. I'm very conscious of having a lot to learn before I can call myself anything like really proficient. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #54 December 22, 2004 I log after every jump. Ritually. I dunno, i love every aspect of the sport (yes, even packing isn't a hassle for me) and i guess i'm just so stoked to be out there doing it that nothing really bothers me.

Randy_H 0 #55 December 22, 2004 QuoteMan, i'm liking the idea of logging many jumps at once. I think i'll just use one box per weekend like many are doing, that should save me some writing (which I hate!). Cool, here is the format. here is a sample of what I saw in his log book. 11/20/04 - TJ Dxxxxx 11/20/04 - TJ Dxxxxx 11/20/04 - AFF Dxxxxx 11/20/04 - TJ Dxxxxx 11/20/04 - AFF Dxxxxx 11/20/04 - TJ Dxxxxx about 3 months worth of this on one page!010010010110010101100001011101000111000001110101011100110111001101111001 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauras 0 #56 December 22, 2004 Tony Hathaway does that - one box per day. I think he said he's up to about 800 or so for the year, which is kinda slow for him, and 12,000ish total. His logbook entries look like: 12/01/04 12007 - TV (tandem video) 12008 - AV (AFF video) etc. He has STACKS of all his logbooks. It's pretty cool. Sadly, I rely on my ProTrack & JumpTrack software. I always know how many jumps I have, but I don't dump down as religiously as I should. 90% of my jumps are at one dz, and I know when I've travelled, so it's pretty easy for me to go back and update if I've gone somewhere else.

Good ol' Neptune...would be lost without it. Too busy between jumps to log....done at the end of the day.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

kelel01 1 #59 December 23, 2004 Not at all . . . I tried to keep them in my head, and guess what? I overestimated by 4. So my logbook has 4 extra jumps in it just waiting to become real. My bad. I guess that's why I bounce checks all the time, too. I can't keep everything straight just in my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 0 #60 December 24, 2004 Logging is very important to me, I log all my jumps, usually at the end of the day. I use a rubberstamp for RW and for new states or memorable jumps I do some artwork on the page. New states (40 so far) usually get a artistic map/picture of the state, with the capitol, location of jump, something the state is known for (ie Idaho had pic of a potato) and distinct landmarks (mtn's, rivers or ect..) Memorable jump artwork usually depicts the event ect... Some of y'all have seen my logbook, after 40 states and 80 DZ's...
