AggieDave 6 #26 April 13, 2011 Quote- A derringer to take care of Farmer McNasty. - An entrenching tool to bury the body. You joke, but I've been on more jumps with someone who had a pistol in their jump suit pocket, then you could probably guess. Not all the jumps were with the same person. There was an extracurricular jump I was on last year where a group of us were doing a hop-n-pop for a thing for some kids. We were flying over some really bad neighborhoods and doing an open field landing in a really bad part of that town. Everyone on the load had a pocket pistol. The favorite was a Kel-Tec P3AT. A lot of jump pilots I know have a pistol on their person in the plane...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

theonlyski 8 #28 April 13, 2011 Quote Quote Maybe a pullup cord in case you need to pack Shoe laces work great as pull up cords... I'd suggest a bic for the smoke on the hike back though... It was suggested after an off landing recently (the whole otter load) that the DZ prepare a door bundle, containing beer, steak, matches, and smokes... If you're going to land off, minas well make a BBQ out of it."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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #30 April 14, 2011 I carry: Cell (most jumps) Pullup cord (stored in the TSO pocket on my Voodoo) Extra rubber bands (see previous) 10.00 cash (in case I land off and need to thank the driver for giving a ride). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't take anything special. Landing out is not always an option jumping in a place like that. Most/darker green on the picture is forest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had a pilot draw his .357 on a SL student who froze on the step - plane was in a stall and he needed to provide some motivation for the guy to get in or get off...A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
