BDashe 0 #51 September 25, 2008 QuoteQuoteI don't even let my Mrs pick my rig up. Its not a arse hole thing, its a "i dont want you touching life saving equipment" thing. Seriously? You don't let your wife touch your rig? Yikes... that's a bit much don't you think? I mean, really, what could she do to it? It's not like she's going to take a carving knife down the side of it... that one time when i was REALLY mad at you for coming home late smelling like liquor and i thought you were cheating on me with that skank next door who is 20 years younger than me but later found out it was ok so i replaced your parachute before you ever knew anything different, or something like that, Sheesh. fixed it for you!So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #52 September 25, 2008 If you don't want some one touching your stuff, put it away.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hobie331 0 #53 September 25, 2008 Quote It's as simple as investing in a good gearbag. That way when you don't feel like packing after the last load is down at least it's contained and protected. My wife came up with a great idea. We both carry nylon laundry bags with pull ties on them. They can be purchased for a buck at any store like Wal-Mart or whatever you have in your area. If we end up needing to leave in a hurry we just daisy chain the lines and stuff the canopy and lines into the bag all the way up to the risers and pull the ties tight. Protects the canopy. Shouldn't be a problem unless your roommate thinks that silver handle is for easier carrying. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #54 September 25, 2008 QuoteQuote Its just rude. RUDE is leaving your shit all over the place. Rude is NOT moving said shit show the place can be cleaned. Get over yourself, and thank the roomies for being considerate enough not to throw your shit on you bed with a polite note about keeping the common areas tidyYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Ah, so you finally answered the golden question: you had your own bedroom, yet you left the implement of preserving your life out in the common area. Everything else flows from that. I mean, it's not like it was your guitar, or your bookbag; it was your (unpacked!!) parachute, for fuck's sake. Now run this by us again: Who are you upset at?

Your rig is not just a spendy piece of sports equipment. It's that too, but more importantly, it's a piece of LIFE SAVING equipment. Because EVERY time you use it, it saves your life. Even when you're having fun and it opens perfectly at some ridiculous 3500+ ft of altitude. You need to give your roomate the briefing. And YOU need to take TOTAL control of your rig. It's YOUR life riding on that baby. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
