My inability to understand America is proven again. She is more than 2 full points behind in the popular vote. I'd call that a Trump landslide in US electoral terms. The good news is that pot is winning and comedians have struck gold. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Well here we are, on the eve of the day of reckoning. Tomorrow America will punish the Republican Party for daring to insult the nation by nominating Despicable Donald. The media has been reporting polling saying it is tightening, but I don't believe it for a moment. The weather forecast is great, turnout is already high, and Clinton is going to win by a large margin. This is not a rejection of conservatism, it is a rejection of the madness of Trump. The Republican Party will survive and continue it's struggle to be relevant in the changing America. And it will eventually find it's way because even immigrants and non whites are not all naturally progressives. I'm sleeping in my truck in Bowling Green MO tonight, and tomorrow night I will be in Guntown MS. And I'll be listening till it's decided and then some more. It's been a fascinating show America has put on this time around. I'd like to say in advance, thank you, and congratulations. Even if I am completely wrong and the demagogue is elected POTUS, America is still the leader of the movement toward democracy in the world. Your system is far from perfect, but carry on you magnificent bastards. And if you are a disappointed conservative tomorrow evening, my advice to you is to pay more attention and get out and vote in the primaries. This one was yours to lose and you blew it.

Pros and cons of different types of reserve ripcords
gowlerk replied to Baksteen's topic in Gear and Rigging
I typed before thinking that one through. Not thinking of all the possibilities is the main problem with modifying gear. But yes, you will need the big housing to push the spectra ripcord through as well. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -

When you change that pin don't forget to add the much larger diameter housing to allow for it. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -

Pros and cons of different types of reserve ripcords

I've never seen one offered on a Javelin or an Icon. Even though they do license the Skyhook. You'd think they would go together. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -

Funny you should ask about that. The Vector 2 manual had a strong suggestion that you try to keep it at no more than 12 lbs. Now that they have Spectra ripcords I've heard they are not as concerned about that. And that they no longer consider a static pull test as valid. The only valid way to measure now is to take a run at it and completely extract the pin. Of course no one does that because then you would have to reclose it. Steel on steel has far less friction.

Today is the Brexit vote. We have lots of bets going, what do you think?

Despite the name of the Court, in the inimitable British manner of using the English language it does not have the last word. The matter will be appealed to a higher court. Namely the "Supreme Court". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -

As far as I know only UPT uses Spectra ripcords. No one else seems to think they are superior, and I agree with that assessment. They will supply a steel cable ripcord with a new rig, but only if you request one. I would request one. And order a Skyhook too. ( If you order without the Skyhook they would supply a steel cable ripcord with a terminal pin. The Spectra ripcord can only work with the marine eye pin) Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. -

That is a big can of wriggling worms you are opening up. That's why I assumed you were trolling. Search this forum for posts about Racers and you will learn a lot very quickly. But seriously, where did you see a BoGo offer on Racers? I can't find one. Share please. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
