Haha I showed your previous written explanation to the rigger who made my current removable bungee and he picked up on the idea right away. Good thing I'm pretty

Actually that could be an interesting thread. I do some pretty cool stuff at work and definatley have some horror stories about the mining and construction industry. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Would you all like me to start a new thread called 6 month of work and sobriety in the middle of fucking nowhere to pay for the next adventure? I do have a pretty fucking awesome life, but you gotta pay to play. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Thanks buddy

it' a sign It's ok. I know where there is a well stocked liquor cabinet Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

00:50 21/12/12 I'm still here, but I'm almost out of beer. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

I understand what you are saying, and trust me I have learned a lot today, mostly because I took the time to watch my repack. Like i said this error occurred where the RSL lanyard comes out of the reserve flaps. Had this error not occurred I doubt it would have been pointed out to me while I was watching a normal repack. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

+1 mate The last repack was one of the very few I haven't sat and watched my rigger do the repack. It's a great way to learn about how your gear really works. Getting back to the origional discussion. I agree that if you don't have a very good specific reason for not having an RSL then they are the way to go, but as I learned today its also REALLY important to understand fully how your gear works. I just jumped a rig for 6 months that could have possible cause some problems during a cutaway. Lesson learned. I thought I knew a lot about how my gear works, and I still think I know more than most fun jumpers around my experience level. Just goes to show you can never stop learning in this sport.

Think I know a rigger who needs it more than I do. Love how everyone says to trust your rigger, then give me shit for not knowing. So is a RSL part of the reserve system? I was in the reserve category of the manual. Edit to add Will gladly update my profile and remove those ratings as I haven't been current in them for 3 years. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Tis is true. I think I know an awful lot more about my rig than most people do and I definatley learned something new today. How many people do you know that would be able to take their RSL and fully instal it? It's great that I am trying to share with everyone here that I learned something about a simple but dangerous mistake that a RIGGER made and yet all you guys want to do is take the piss out of me. Seriously pull your fucking head in. Let's say I noticed this mistake. Am I allowed to fix it myself? Am I allowed to pull my reserve pin to reroute my RSL? Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

No actually I don't. I honestly didn't know any better. I've been jumping a possible death rig for the last 6 months and had no idea. Guess I'd better get my riggers rating because apparently I can't trust them. Will start a new thread when I get to a computer and can post some pics explaining the minor difference. Or would you rather everyone just read the manual and figure it out for themselves? Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Imm not a rigger and did not know that where the lanyard came out from under the reserve flap was the wrong place for it. The difference between the right and wrong routing is only a few centimeters. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Hey monkey can you post some pics of how you do this. I know you should me this at LP but I'll refer you to your mouth breather comment as to why I'm asking again. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Funny thing. I'm sitting here at my riggers house getting my repack done, reading this thread this morning. He calls me in to have a look at my misrouted rsl on my mirage G4. It was misrouted under the reserve flap causing a 180 in pull force from the rsl lanyard to the reserve rip cord. It took 20kg of pull force to pull the reserve ripcord while misrouted and 6kg of pull force when routed correctly. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Fuck off I'm drunk. Yes I see the irony...

NSFW not nice at, people getting killed and such.... I'm sure it's a video you've all seen before. It will most likely make you cry. It s the one about the dog saving the other dog on the freeway followed by multiple people running over a small girl with no one stoping to help her. I'm sick of people posting this kind of shit on social media sites, what the hell do they actually get out of it? Watch the video if you want then read my drunken rant... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152081108122925 You could argue that those that did nothing, and those that drove over her were, in fact acting more like animals. In the seance of self preservation. I just did something that would cause the other humans to want to kill me. So now I need to make flight so I can save myself. I could make a video of exactly the opposite thing happening. A human selflessly saving another, followed by an animal killing another whiles other wait around for their piece of meat. It's called nature. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. I think the biggest mistake humans make is forgetting that we are actually animals and are capable of doing horrific things that in the animal world would just be label as "nature" Spend all the time you want feeling depressed and sad about the state of the human civilization. It's been "animalistic" for as long as we have existed. You can dwell on it and post shit like this on fucking Facebook and make yourself feel somewhat self righteous and on the good side, but really your still an animal. Oh wow it's so amazing that animals can feel compassion, but they also kill ruthlessly to survive. So do humans. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

...but fuck me do I have a lot of fucking fun!!!

Haha ya I know what you mean. I guess we could call the "middle" the safe distance around the perimeter where one would expect to find hazards such as fences, ditches and power lines. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Good, I'm sure I'll run into you at one of those two and we can have a chat. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Ummm... Learn how to spot? But yeah as other have said having a pull up cord and a cell phone with you is a good idea.. Unless it takes you an hour to pack and the search party is out combing the field looking for you. Don't forget, when your landing out in an unfamiliar area it's best to find the biggest open space and land in the middle of it. As the saying goes its better to have a long walk back, Than a short ambulance ride. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Im a horribly role model Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Haha I had to look at a calendar to see what day of the week it was. Yeah I should be in picton by the weekend. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Depends on where you live in the world. It's pretty easy to do when sunrise is at 7 or 8 am. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

Trying to figure out which of the prostitutes have a penis Then trying to figure out which one of her/his friends picked your pocket while you were distracted. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

I'm pretty impressed with the stamps in my passport from this trip. Australia, Dubai, Canada, America, Canada, hong kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia.
