    I've had mine about a year now. I still catch myself asking myself when I climb out "Is my rig even on???". Remster

    Same here. I'm no Brian, but this is what is SOP at SDAZ. The Ground Safety Officer looks for opening, mals, off DZ spots. To the best of his/her ability, they'll go pick off off-landings and cutaway gear. Not all are seen, especially very long spots, or wingsuits taking very longs spots. Sometimes, these people walk back. We do have a good safety system at the DZ, but I like the fact that personal responsibility is still valued. I have never seen operations stop to look for someone. I have never seen operations stop to take care of an incident/accident/fatality. Remster

    You do not want to spend your skydives at a spot that you just "an get away with it". You need to be in the middle of your range for most of the jump of most of your jumps. maxing out your arch is not planning for success. Remster

    What he said. But also what CM said. Make sure you don't add extra drag with a loose jumpsuit. Then I'd start with 6 lbs. It's not a lot, but it's where it should start to make a difference. Impact on your wingloading will be minimal, but still there (that's a 5% weight increase-ish). Add or remove a couple lbs at a time until you find where you need to be. Remster

    Your very funy, Andy. Remster

    Yes. Ban farming of animals and dairy and water use goes down dramatically. But since we are discussing real world here... Yes. because growing lettuce in Yuma makes perfect sense... Remster

    For parts, sure. For a vehicle you have to register and "pass ownership" to in an official government way, I'd do cash only. Remster

    You do know what clickbait means, right? Remster

    How about we start discussing actual science, and not a clickbait website opinion piece? http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2015/02/25/co2-greenhouse-effect-increase/ Remster

    If you don't know what Exploring Kittens are, you should quit at the Internets. Remster

    You obviously have never used a service like 1800flowers.com, ftd, or the likes... Remster

    Weird. The direct link doesn't work, but, if you copy and past the link content into the url bar, it works... Remster

    Or... Maybe he knows something you don't. Like the spot is shitty. We have a code between our camera guy and me (OC in 8way). If he gives it, we climb extra slow and I give an extra couple seconds before the count. Changes our full climb out from 20 seconds to 25 seconds pretty consistently. And saves us from an extra shitty spot. Remster

    But not necessarily a good skydiver. Do some tunnel, but find a DZ to do loads of jumps to. No amount of tunnel will help you with spotting, tracking, canopy flight, gear knowledge, etc.... Remster

    If you pack extra light, you could fit a small-ish rig in a carry-on rollerbag (135 main/143 reserve or smaller) with a few items of clothing (like 2 pairs of socks, underwear, t-shirts and a pair of pants). Add a small daypack as your 2nd item for another set of clothing and electronics/paper/toileteries. If you need to take more (and I would for a long trip with changing weather) then you'll need to check something in. Or, just travel, enjoy, rent gear in a couple places, and don't focus on jumping.
