The trash can on the packing mat can be overflowing and not a single person thinks it's their job to pick it up and toss it in the big dumpster 20 ft. away.

edit to add. Except for a couple of jumpers over the years that are never afraid to pitch in and are great additions to the dz.

If you can see trees above the horizon, you are low ....

When people look like ants... time to pull... when the ants look like people you are screwed. That last 1/2 inch is gonna be a bitch.

You don't have to make the next load-slow down and pay attention to the pack job.

You are only as strong as the prey you devour

Skydivers aren't some special class of human, as much as they like to think they are. You'll meet cool people that you like spending time with and you'll meet assholes and everything in between, just like any other group of people.
