Know those really big packing tents they have at the WFFC?
monkycndo replied to Harksaw's topic in The Bonfire
If you are talking about something around 20x20 or larger with no center support poles, two of the main companies building them for party rental companies are Canvas Specialties and Academy Tent & Canvas, both in California. They are not cheap, but they are built to last. They do sell their used stock. You can pick up a 10x20 tent designed to park a car under for $100-$200 at Costco, Home Depot or auto part stores. They won't hold up in the wind that well. I learned the hard way. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity -

I have just gotten my coach rating and I really enjoy jumping with the students working towards their "A". My skills have improved by doing so. And seeing the smile on a student's face when they had a good jump is why I got my rating. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I worked hard on my landing skills and didn't have to PLF that much as a student. Now that one of our instructors who teaches the FJC has a bad ankle, he asks one of the coaches to demonstrate a PLF to the students. I tend to be around a lot so I have been getting plenty of practice. I realized I needed it. New students seem to think the only good landing is one that is stood up. I think PLF training with continuing practice should be emphasized so getting a little dirty replaces getting a little broken. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I had brain lock myself on my first jump when it came to pull time. Wow, where did that canopy come from? I just went back and read my AFFI's comments for that jump. He put, "Assisted with pull". He has a gift with understatement. Each dive is a learning opportunity. The TUB speech is normally given to those who don't take advantage of those opportunities. It is obvious you learned so it was a successful dive. Good on you for nailing it on the next jump. It just keeps getting better. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Sometimes you have to land out with no windsock to check wind direction. After opening, watch your speed relative to the ground. Are you being pushed sideways? Turn 90 degrees and do the same. Turn 90 degrees back to where you came. You will move faster traveling with the wind and slower against it. It doesn't take long to get pretty good at judging the wind speed/direction this way. The wind direction can be blowing different directions and speeds at different altitudes, so pay attention all the way through your pattern. Most DZs have a policy of either the first person sets the pattern or a preset pattern. And if the winds are light and variable, a preset direction so people don't land in every direction as the wind changes direction. A downwind landing in light wind is better than one into another jumper coming from the other direction. So always check with the DZ for their policy. And remember, a good PLF is your friend. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

This is a cheapo way to fix it. Not pretty, just cheap and quick. We used this method to seal the hole when we removed two way radio antennas from company trucks. Pull the headliner, get truss head screws with nuts, washers large enough to cover the holes (small fender washers work great), and neaprene gasket material cut the same size as the washer. Use the truss head screw to tighten the neaprene gasket material under the washer to seal the hole. The truss head screw is pretty flat and won't stick up that high. Once painted, it won't look THAT ugly. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
