Some people say that they can call a rigger, so they're available. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

It's not up to me. As I understand it, you have to be packing under the direct supervision of a qualified rigger. (too lazy to look it up in the SIM) If you met that standard and have a rigger that ok's it, I'd be ok with it if I wasn't planning on packing for myself. Which, I usually do. It's actually in the FARs... Believe it or not, that is VERY loosely enforced if at all.

Many riggers have tools in their kit that you wouldn't expect a rigger to have in their kit. It makes the job easier for some people to use things like molar straps, I have one but hardly use it... Use what ever works for you. Which tools are the ones you've never heard of? Oh, just thought of a couple more. Some T-Bodkins (I have a couple and they do help with some bail out rigs) A NEW (or very well cleaned) M-16 cleaning rod (the one that's a few pieces with the end eye that you would put the cleaning pad thru) I try to keep one of the (umpteen) Gerbers I got in the Army in my kit, never know when it'll help out. You can make a velcro strap for freebags to protect the lines while you're stowing them. If you don't know what I'm talking about, that one will become obvious when you get some packjobs.

Hell, I offered to host it!

Just noticed that the www.diverdriver.com site has been placed back online. I'm glad to see it back! "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Also: Adjustable 6" wrench Multi-head screwdriver (see if you can also find a CYPRES screwdriver, they're great for things like altimeters and such) Finger trapping fids/wires. Wires seem to be a little easier to use. I use an old asprin bottle for my lead seals You can make your own packing weights. Seal press, there's a few varieties floating around, try to get your hands on the old military seal press with the bolts, not the roll pins (though with a little trial and error, you can get a bolt that fits in there, its just not as clean). When you're ready to order your seal die, there's a place I recommend over paragear... I'll try to find the link. Other than that, you're probably able to get away with packing square reserves. If you're going to pack rounds (which I think riggers should but I'll happily pack them) a line separator is a must. If you're going to gear up for replacing grommets/sewing machines, I'd work with the guys in the course/riggers around you to figure out what you need and where you should get it. Not everyone needs a half dozen sewing machines and all of the grommet dies. A basic sewing machine that I use is a Singer 31-15. Straight stitch only but it can be found on craigslist for as low as $25 with table and motor!

Love the reserve pillow grope at :19. That would have been one sporting deployment! So dramatic... That was the cutaway handle, not the reserve Would've made a low main deployment more interesting though.

If he gives the "I'm OK" signal (which he did), they normally won't try to retrieve the towed jumper. If he appeared unable or knocked out, they probably would've tried harder to get him back in the bird.

He gave the "I'm OK" signal (hands on helmet). Once he is cut free, he is supposed to release his reserve. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Same for the 3 or 4 around here that I go to, usually they can clean house pretty quickly. Guess it's more in the management making sure their staff are working well together and they have people on hand to cover the rush. Now, if we got a Freebirds around here, I'd be gaining some weight!

Guy was having issues with his computer (he takes pics around the dz and sells them to whoever wants them). I looked at it, and it was just all kinds of jacked up. Last Friday I went to the store, got him a new motherboard, processor and power supply and gave it back to him yesterday. It works better now. He's a good guy, so I figure why not?

I never managed to make it all the way thru the Racer packing DVD, but yes, the King DVD's do a pretty good job as well. Sporty's not much better.

My brother would try to run a meth lab. The fucker would even BEG me for the money to get it started. Guess I should at least be happy in his entrepreneurial look at things.

I personally wouldn't mix family and finances, but I know that your brother probably isn't as bad as mine. No home inspection?
