michaelseddon replied to Viking's topic in The Bonfire
i'm basicly exactly the same its good to be lazy!!! anyway so far i've basicly only jumped in cold weather did my first jump in march which is after our 'summer' down here i usually wear long pants or 3/4 shorts t-shirt and jumper and thermals under all that. my jumpsuits a second hand suit i got given to me for a slab of bear its had many owners now i beleive but its in real good nick and it looks really good...it says Razor Sports on the arm if that means anything to anyone? -
Are you talking power tool as in one of those metal cylinders with the rod that you see people packing reserves with? How much would one of those set me back? Not being a large person closing containers can be rather hard at times

apparently a few years ago this guy went straight into the windsock at my dz and bent the thing right to the ground. now this windsock is a piece of galvanised pipe around 5 meters high, set in concrete, and about 5 or 6cm in diameter. it took 3 grown men to bend it back straight and the guy just stood up and walked away without any injuries...a little winded i assume get it..winded..windsock........alright it seemed funny a minute ago lol

Well i can't really say much about different dogs or anything but when i was little we had a german shepard and she was the best dog. Apparently when me and my sister were babies she'd get right down on the ground and slowly crawl towards us and would never even move when we were crawling on her. German Shepards rock!

I am told that IF you kick out of a line over mal then it could damage your canopy....doubt in ur canopy...what's 60 bucks for a reserve repack in the big scheme of things. And also reserves aren't really likely to give you a mal just like a normal main...if you've watched a packer pack a reserve they take alot of time to actually make sure it'll open correctly.

lol...it seems as though were following each other each other round. didn't see you there today (saturday)...could that be because it was blowing 40 knots..hehe...it wasn't to bad actually...alex and cam decided to make a set of flags to swoop between and everyone ended up in the old hut thing playing pong on the tv..lol
