You buy a extreme ski sack, cut of the top cover, and everything you dont need. Most of them have a back plate you can take out, or where with the sack undernite the jacket, also make a nice back protection as well! around 35 Litres should do to fit everything you need. I also hoocked on a sleeping bag protection bag to store my camera helmet on the top.

I need some advises about ACE with or without ZP top. 30% or 100% on the top surface? Difference on opening, flying, packing,etc How is the ACE in tight landing areas? I got very good experience with Mojo. and deep brakes, how is ACE on Deep brakes? (not brake settings on opening, but deep brakes approach landing) Have a sunny nice day, here it have been raining for a week!

Hi Space! I have been at work, and could not response your post! I said when you have done your home work!(Enough air time from plane, trained for surten situations, jumped helicopter etc) You should also visualize if you got a bad exit! I dont like people pretend it cant happen to them (dont think or talk about bad exits)! I do not think a huge arch is the way to go, often they go out from exit with feet together, high arms (no upwards movements on the exit), go out arch, and kick their ass! So what happens? all force is going out and down, put them directly in to a headdown! they arch more and fall over to one side, struggle to arch, and put more power/force to the energy that already have started, and out of controll. If they go out with one feet in front of the other, low arms, trow them up when they exit, try to have a relaxed body position, and if they have a headdown, do not arch and kick your ass, try to fly it out. I still believe a calm handle of the situation the first seconds, would be better! but if you are out of controll, do what you need to do, pull in time!!! A lot of near misses I have seen is overreacting to the situation. Be with it and dont struggle! I dont know how to explain better, but will try if someone do not understand where I try to point! But if someone think I am way out there, I will shut my mouth! I just try to say It is not always a good idea to overreact in surten situations, but I do agree with you space if you cant handle the the way I try to explain, do like you did when you had your first static line, arch like hell, pull in time, and hope it will save you! Have a nice weekend

The list from Tom is a good start, for analyzing a first jump, or any jump! But I think I can add a little importent matter! A bad exit is not the end from an cliff like Kjerag!(jumpers had to stop thinking, and focus on this matter, you should not be afraid or terrified about a bad exit, it can happens anyone) Visualise a unstable exit, try to relax, or go relaxed with the force ! After a few sec, you got airflow enough to recover! Dont work against/struggle the force! If you do, you end up using valuble time , or putting in some more power to the unstable exit, resulting a unstable fall for a longer period! Make it simple but good!

A stable or unstable pull after 8 sec, doesnt make you far from the wall, and if you have offheading with linetwist it could be a difficult case! I guess it would be better to pull unstable from a bridge with base gear! My post was just a reminder that Kjerag is not 1000m freedrop, and everybody get to know that when they arrive, but not all know that before they arrive! Have a nice day!

There is a misunderstanding that Kjerag is a 1000 m freedrop! At most you have 12 sec to impact! Very importent to remember, if you start to struggle with your exit! Have a nice day!
