hokierower 0 #101 May 22, 2012 I'm hoping to avoid outlandish beer costs at Carolinafest by bringing my handle of Johnny Black. That should do the trick. I've set aside a grand for the 5 days I'll be there, most of it on jumps since I'll be sleeping in a tent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decompresion 2 #102 May 22, 2012 My suggestion for carolinafest to save some money/time: - Buy stuff before you get to the DZ, It is far from anything. It will save you gas money. - Don't get caught speeding on I-81. 10 Mph=$75 - Also, all around the DZ there are cops waiting throughout the boogie. They know we are there all week. No open containers - Nipple clamps are overpriced in Carolina. Get them in VA - Pitch your tent so that the tree gives you shade in the morning. Also bring a tarp. - [Sarcasm]Deet is your friend[/Sarcasm] - You can drink with the Rodriguez brothers, just don't try to keep up. Double goes for SkymonkeyOne. - Its a Doug eat Doug world - Snarf snarf snarf - The funeral home that is 5 miles to the south also does bail bonds. - Get up early for the free loads. (Captain obvious) - Save money on STD testing: hot sauce double baggerThere are no dangerous dives Only dangerous divers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
