Everybody knows that when you're drunk, the chances to brake bones due to a fall, are a lot smaller than when you're sober! The pioneers had this knowledge and used it..."

QuoteSince the velcro-system is composed of a "male" and a "female" part ("a dick in a chick"), the container was called Per-i-Gry (Per and Gry are two norwegian names,"i" means in[side]...). There is a theory that the ancient blueprints for this container, designed by Eiolf and Wlodzimiesz, were retrieved by some American jumpers, and later mass-produced under the name "Perigee".....Looks like a death sandwich without the bread - Steve Deadman Morrell, BASE 174 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
