So, the BB nest close to the food (hence the name Bed Bugs), Kitchen is almost never a place where you'll find them. They are attracted by CO2 emition and warm bodies (think a human sleeping - we exale CO2 and we are warm) and also they hate the sun light. They nest (lay eggs) near their pray hiding in small cracks of almost everything (bed frame, mattess, etc). Out of the 5 room we had them in only 1 room (spraying with product force them out and they were hiding in the screw holes of the bed frame) and the rig was in the basement far away from stable CO2 emitions and warm condition. Basement was clean (no BB exit as we spray it) so we decided to keep the rig in plastic bags and outside in the cold (outside) for some time. Don't use garbage bags as they are treated with a product. Hope this shades some light over the situation. I'm also looking for reserve repack if any of you riggers out there feel men enough to handle a rig that has the moral stains of co-existing nest to BB drop an email. Lol. I'm kidding. I never pack my reserve, I always Paper Pack it. LOL. I'm kidding again. Some of you will pack my reserve. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Done, the exterminator clear the rig because was too far. It's outside in the cold cold weather. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

How about drift and 4way or tandem filming? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Good reading: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/emergingdiseases/Bed_Bug_Manual_v1_full_reduce_326605_7.pdf >Anyway, what's to stop the little critters from laying more eggs during that month? It's a supposition. Bed bugs have 5 states from hatched egg to addult. They need to suck blood to move to the next state. Assuming that we've not put any addults in the bag they will never get addults without blood. >You figure they won't lay more eggs if they don't have any blood to eat? Yes. >I would want to confirm first that 1 month of undisturbed bedbug infestation would not damage a rig. Good observation. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

One logical answer will be to put the rig in a plastic bag for more than 1 moth in normal temperature to ensure that all the egss hatched and then with the plastic bag on put the rig in freezing temperature. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

How can I find/create/access an oxygen free atmosphere? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I got infested with bed-bugs. A nice gift from NY. I will hire an exterminator that would spray things in the house. I don't want my rig to be sprayed but I don't want the bed bugs infestation to come back from my rig neither. Any ideas? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks Mike!

A PDR 176 manufactured last year, with 1 jump. What price would be fair to sell it? 900USD? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Can any of you guys recomend some manufacturers? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I'm looking into filming 4ways and working up to fliming tandems. Is the camera Jacket enough for those actions? Regards, Jean-Arthur Deda. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/brochure.pdf I've found this one interresting but I'm having problem decoding the information. For instance: Turns: Smooth (Silhouette), Steady (Navigator), Responsive (Pulse, Katana, Sabre2, Storm), Fast (Stiletto, Lightning), Conservative (Spectre, PDR, Optimum), Agressive (Velocity, Velocity Comp) How would you order those terms into something that makes sense? I've been flying Spectre and PDR and the turns were more responsive on PDR on nearly the same WL. Same thing for Handling ... how would you make sense of what handling is and how would you order the terms into something that makes sense? Easy (Silhouette, Pulse, Storm, Spectre), Conservative (Navigator), Responsive (Stiletto), Aggressive (Katana, Velocity, Velocity Comp), Advanced (Sabre2), Predicatable (PRD, Optimum), Tricky (Lightning) And for this 2 guys: Flare: Good (Silhouette, Spectre, PDR), Great (Navigator, Sabre2, Storm), Deep Finish (Katana), Powerful (Velocity, Velocity Comp), Incredible (Optimum), Weak (Lightning) Recovery Arc: Short (Silhouette, Pulse, PDR, Optimum, Lightning), Quick (Navigator, Stiletto), Quite Long (Katana), Medium Long (Sabre2), Medium (Storm), Medium short (Spectre), Long (Velocity, Velocity Comp) Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks Tonto for the canopy advice you gave me back in the day. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Here is something that reminds me of this, that I do and I'm not completly sure if it's good or bad: Sometimes, not that often, I turn to final with a sharp 90 turn. This takes me into a roller coster of air speed as I surf and drop (50 feet higher than the ground). After the turn my canopy dives and it picks up speed. Then as it level off, it loses speed to a speed lower then the normal flight speed and here it begins to drop to pick up speed. In the lower air speed zone, when it begins to drop, I feel that canopy is being "mushy" and not loaded as normal (the system doesn't feel rigid). To avoid going into the "lower than normal" airspeed I pump the brakes (for less than 1 sec at ears level) close to the highest air speed point. This way I see that my wing will not level off and then lose airspeed and then drop to be mushy and I kinda feel that the entire system is more rigid as I never go to lower than normal airspeed. I've attaced a picture with how I imagine the entire thingy. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I really like instructors like you and Ron. Wise minds. I think you guys teach the love of skydiving. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

It makes sense when you factor in, your perception. I can give you a personal example For a long time I did longboard but I didn't do downhill. I enjoyed being on the board. Without knowing while I was browsing/playing in the confort "zone", I was creating skills that would serve me in the next "zone". After this time, when I've went faster that I could run-out on my longboard for the 1st time, I was pushing a personal limit but it was safe due to the nature of the hill, the longboard and my real skills. Does it makes any sense? Never mind, I'll post this anyway. [Edit to add] I'll edit it just because is cool to edit stuff Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I'll just put this in the air movies about how to evaluate your real skill level, how to be safe while pushing the limits. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Just to mention something that most people don't know and it is important > CSPA's third party liability insurance is $2,000,000 In the entire world, international!!!!! Sometimes when you travel to Spain, for instance, from some other countries you are obligated to buy a local third party insurance because your insurance doesn't cover international damages. Please correct if I'm wrong because I want to verify if I'm right! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Uhhhhh I see exactly what you mean! Indeed after the 1st hit you will figured out! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
