  10. my previous job was hauling "show" trailers all over the country, advertising for stuff. i have driven everything from a ford 250 with trailer to a kenworth t600 with a 52 ft trailer at 78,000 lbs, and have been to 48 states. so, here is my advice. first, if you are loaded heavy in your fifth wheel, you may want to add air bags on your rear suspension. $300 bucks. it will help with sway. second, when going down a grade, start at the top of the grade in one gear lower than you can climb the hill in. thats the rule for 18 wheelers, so you will have to extrapolate from that. third. pack food so that you can pull over and wait out the weather. dont push it...once you loose it with a trailer, its over. rest often, stay sharp. fourth, stay south if you can. the 40 is faster than the 80, or the 70. and the 70 is often closed temporarly in winter. coarse the 10 is way south, and thats good. fifth, we have XMradio. its great, you may want to look into that, or load up your mp3 player. dude, dont take chances, at least not on the road. getting hurt driving is not half as fun as getting hurt jumping! cheers, J edit to add: if you drop below 35 mph on a climb, you must use flashers, thats the law. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  11. i agree fully ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  13. i make small corrections as i land, for such things as crosswind conditions. however, as i remember my training, students are taught to get on a final approach and only flare upon landing. until you are know how much you can manipulate the toggles, just stick to getting the flare down. too much of the wrong type of a toggle input and you can really get hurt. practice canopy manuvers above your hard deck, or above 2000 feet. cheers! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  17. that would be like having multiple rigs and plenty-o-packers !
  18. do you think that santa has to wear a emergency parachute like the DZ pilots? after all, i do believe that sleigh has open doors! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  19. i have flown with my rig over my shoulders many times. i do tie the leg straps together, and zip tie my reserve handle...the zip tie has a "Remove before flight" tag on it for my attention. i also carry the xray card for my cypress. if asked what it is i reply its a "sporting parachute" never have had one problem in over a dozen flights. when asked why i dont check it by security, i simply say it costs $5000. really though the main reason i have no problems is that i use words like, "please" "sir/mam" "no problem" while taking with the security. give them some respect, and they respond. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  20. when you have your water hooked up, quickly fill some 5 gal buckets for water. boil some and take a sponge bath. that way you have some time to fix the valves on your own time, saving some money. remember, its just like camping at a DZ.
