  1. you gotta bury them deep (I assume chest freezers). No one wants to unpack 100lbs of stuff to get to what they want. :)
  2. radio (local community radio station long time dee-jay nanette o'connell https://grcmc.org/node/29685/wyce-programmer-hall-of-fame-nanette-o-connell) I liked Lisa's wind as in blow / wind as in turn
  3. lol. i should have gotten in to say "true love"
  4. I wasn't saying BSRs applied to jumps fixed objects. They don't. And yes the BSRs cover skydivers regardless of geography. But the essential point I am making is their isn't a BSR against jumping single container "BASE" rigs. There is a "abide by the FAA in the USA" BSR but only in the USA.
  5. sure. all jumps have to comply with the BSRs. but what BSR are you thinking BASE rig wearing jumpers will be violating? the one for container opening altitude? yes I agree they will be violating that one. But there isn't a BSR that says you can't jump a BASE rig from a plane no matter where you are in the world.
  6. Where do you get that reading? B.1 says jumps in the USA have to comply with FAA regulations, but I don't see anything in the BSRs that says if you are not in the USA, you can't jump a BASE rig from a plane. edit: of course you are talking about container opening altitude. yeah, no idea on that.
  7. and i guess with what 20kn said it makes sense: "105.41 Applicability. This subpart prescribed rules governing parachute equipment used in civil parachute operations." So 20kn is saying the rule is if your equipment isn't described in the following section, you can't use it. But without that important bit, 91.307b doesn't mean you can't use a single parachute system.
  8. it says if you use a dual parachute system, it better be approved. doesn't say anything about using a single parachute system.
  9. yeah, it is funny isn't it? I can't find anything either in 105 that says the only way to make an intentional jump is to use a dual parachute system.
