HydroGuy 0 #1 April 7, 2005 Wiped out all of the items I had left on the A proficiency card yesterday. Need a packing clinic and I'm finished. Looks like the Bombshelter better stock up on that Sierra Nevada.....Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antidote 0 #4 April 7, 2005 Keep packing after you're done. Packers are good and need to eat too and everything, but being a decent packer is part of being a skydiver IMHO. "You jump it, you pack it" sorta thing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"You jump it, you pack it" sorta thing If I had my druthers, I would have two rigs, hit every load, and never pack. But since packing is such a huge part of BASE, I might not follow through on that.Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #7 April 7, 2005 QuoteKeep packing after you're done. Packers are good and need to eat too and everything, but being a decent packer is part of being a skydiver IMHO. The other reason is that at even middle sized dropzones (ie, one turbine and a cessna), there may be just enough packers to keep up with the tandems and students on a busy weekend. I, err, you might be waiting a long time. And don't even think about what happens at the boogies. At Skydance's American Boogie, it's a sea of nylon on the floor.
