dmcoco84 5 #1 October 24, 2005 I just went to pack my chute tonight and found a souvenir in my canopy from Bridge day. A nice 2 * 1 ½ inch rock from the landing area. I laid down my canopy and as I was flacking it and getting a little air out of the nose and felt a bulge. I was like WTF! Had a good laugh when I found out what it was. So anyone else find anything interesting in their canopies after a jump? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

avenfoto 0 #4 October 24, 2005 while packing for my secondjump i aparently scooped up two similar rocks deep into two different cells... as i was finishing up the packjob, and didnt want to ruin said pj looking for a stupd rock, i just packed 'em right in.... fast forward to jump two, a two way both side float, as i open facing partner, i got a nice solid "thock" directly on top of my head... still have the knot.. guess thats my bd souvenier...

leroydb 0 #7 October 24, 2005 one jump I scooped up a couple leaves in just 1 cell. Next jump a couple days later, I went HH and took a sec delay and unbenounced to me out came the leaves pressed together. Below me I saw my bud running off to my right and I was wondering why... he ended up catching the leaves...
