airborne31582 0 #1 February 4, 2003 Her name is Kristen, she loves me and I love her, even though she gets really sad and lonely being in a duffel bag all week, but she knows when we leave for the dropzone she is going to get to play. Where do you keep your rig when you aren't jumping? Chris I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway.

Michele 1 #2 February 4, 2003 When my canopy is not in use, it lives in a cardboard box tucked away, covered by a towel and safely away from feline cuddles... I keep thinking of it as the "homeless canopy". Sigh...I really need to get gear.

flyingcanuck 0 #6 February 4, 2003 not a real fan of that term in reference to my gear. Y'see i have issues with the thought of ever siring a mini-me. Good grief. what if it were anything like me? Besides, it's hard enough just getting laid when you don't stay in one place longer than 3 weeks. Ps don't tell them I'm here. Oh yeah, my rig is in Canada. I think. Somewhere on the west coast. I keep meaning to get it back from the guy who is looking after it. (long story, I'll be here until thursday) but i mostly rent it in the lone star state. It sux but i never have to pack.

Rhonda66 0 #11 February 4, 2003 All of our rigs are with our rigger right now for some TLC - normally they're in the closet because they haven't gotten enough use lately - but they'll be in the friendly skies over Eloy in a couple of weeks Rhonda PP ASEL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 0 #12 February 4, 2003 I call her Hannah and she sleeps on the double bed in the spare room. When its cold I keep her in the gear bag for warmth other wise she just lounges freely on the bed. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebazz1 2 #14 February 4, 2003 I have a spare room at my house right now. So my Rigs have their own room. I wonder what kind of trouble they get into when I am at work... No names for them either, though I do refer to them as my babies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #17 February 5, 2003 I keep my baby in Columbus, Ohio. But my rig sleeps on my bed, packed in a gear bag. No shit -- I have a king size bed and I only use about a third of it.

pack40 0 #18 February 5, 2003 Lazy Americanos without RULES and REGULATIONS and LAWS how and where to store a rig. Check out our super rules for storage. I do not think that anybody in the past 10 years did this -except military-. The funnies thing this is a law issued by the Civil Aviation Authority many-many years ago -still effective. Conditions for storing parachutes Temperature: between +5C and +30C Humidity: between 30-80% No radiation (sunlight, UV) No chemicals or oil-steam No fretters, rodents Parachutes must be stored at least 50cm from roof or wall, 20cm from floor At least 1m from heaters. The storage room should be closed from unauthorized persons. A device must be in the storage room to measure temperature and humidity. Two times a day (morning, afternoon) the temperature and humidity must be checked and documented. These documents must be kept for one year. The parachutes must be stored with their logbooks.

Dumpster 0 #19 February 5, 2003 I throw mine in a corner of the den at the house, usually resting on top of my gear bag, with the pilot chute out. ( I hear it helps keep the elastic from getting worn out-) The temp in there stays around 68-75 degrees F, and the humidity in the house is usually around 40-70% depending on the time of year. Now, in the summer it might spend a day behind the seat of my truck if I'm planning on jumping after work, but in that case I cover it well (Haven't got a regular gear bag yet-) or I bring it into the plant and keep it in the shop office, which well air-conditioned.

wildblue 7 #24 February 5, 2003 I built a rack and shelf on the wall in the dining room. It hangs there, or sits on the floor under there, or if I just packed it, sits in the middle of the floor.

PhreeZone 20 #25 February 5, 2003 >Like we actually use our dining room anyway... When IS the last time that that room was actually used for anything useful?
