QuoteMight be a good idea to have my rigger write my name on the bridle on the next repack.
I know many people that have done this. Just becasue a person that lives around a dz finds it, doesn't mean they'll know what it is or bother returning it. A name and phone number, along with whoever suggested writing "reward" on it, definately increases your chances of getting it back.

Scott,
oh yeah, forgot to mention - always have a spare of everything that can be dropped or lost. This includes freebag/P/C, cutaway cable, reserve ripcord, reserve closing loop, main closing loop, tube stows, etc.
A malfunction on first day of a boogie that you've been planning to do 100 jumps at will definately spoil your experience if you lose the freebag and don't have a spare.
You cannot always rely on others to have parts - even the local rigger. So you should be as self sufficient as possible.
Enjoy, fergs

They can't be that far out of fashion if they are still issuing SB's for the container:

I would bet that every Senior Rigger knows that a similar sized reserve will deploy from a Swift container also. Senior Riggers have been assembling gear for a long time. I could put any number of TSO'd reserve PC's in my Strong Stylemaster Chest mount reserve. (Taking my Chest mount practical this week, next step in getting my Master rating).
