There there, we have so many people here who can rectify the situation. So, who wants to buy her some beer? -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

I've counted 3 "it's cold" threads so far. Anyone want to up the ante?

Looks like all the new folk are buying rigs while they aren't jumping. Spiffy looking container. Congrats! Many safe landings and blue skies. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

We actually discussed this over beer We found that the problem would be in feeding the gerbil, unless you recycle his droppings. A concious decision was made by the entire group not to go there

I am in no way watering down the damage of Chernobyl. And yes, modern western power plants are very different, thankfully. I also forgot to mention that this was about children born outside of the area of effect of Chernobyl. Don't take this too seriously. AFAIK no conclusive, hardcore study was done here. These are observations collacted from a large group of doctors, but I don't think a statistical study was done. Regardless, it's very believable to me, especially because of my day-to-day observations. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Nuclear power plants are safe. Period. I will not stop hoping that, by the time I have chlidren, the coal plants will no longer be used. Apparently, an abnormal number of children born in Russia in the late 70s to early 80s have problems. A lot have respiratory problems. The rate of asthma in those children is abnormally high. Let me see, more than half of my friends and 2/3 of my previous gfs have asthma. I have asthma. One day, we will all smarten up... -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Yet another wonderful alternative to the shit we're burning now. As if Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles weren't enough...

That's what they said about Stalin in Russia. If you are not familiar with the result of that a brief search in any history resource will tell you. You'll probably find it difficult to believe.

Dude, I do that on jump planes all the time, that's on my list of "A Perfect Jump." If you smell an odorless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide.

I had to walk to campus twice today. Each round trip is an hour of walking. Did I mention I'm in Canada? Hrm, my girlfriend has a huge heater right next to the bed.

What kind of parrot is it? I love parrots. They have them at the pet store near my place in TO and I can play with them for hours. I want to teach them to swear at each other

The pliers worked fine. Closing loop was still too short though. Never had to apply that much force on anything in my life. Fingers hurt like hell. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Thing is, I don't have anything to replace it with, and I need to close the container just to store the canopy in a safe place. It will be replaced and repacked before jumping. Oh well, I guess I'll just use a shoelace or something for now. Or, better yet, put the whole thing in a box. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

-
Thanks everyone. After several tries I've managed to do it the way weid14 and the manual describe. The trick was to make the canopy stack taller, rather than longer. I was making the first snake fold too big, so that the canopy filled the bag up unevenly. As they say, practice makes perfect. A shame it has to hurt so much though. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

If you have a closing loop with a knot in it, how would you undo the knot without destroying the loop? It's just a wraparound knot, so when you pull on the loop you make it tighter. The rig has been sealed several times before, and the knot has been tightened quite nicely. Any ideas? -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

-
Yep, you told me that when I bought the rig. I was just worried that you may have replaced the bag. And I've already fixed the closing loop up. It looks like I just really suck at packing
-
Thanks, I'll try that as soon as I get back. Hopefully, I'll be able to stuff it in there this time. This whole packing thing is a lot more difficult than it seems at first, isn't it... -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.
