I just got engaged to the luckiest girl in the world
nate25 replied to nate25's topic in The Bonfire
She did win the lotto; she got me, got engaged to me and is marrying a skydiver!! I want to B.A.S.E. but I cant find a conopy that will open from the time i jump off my roof to the time I hit the ground. I live in the ass hole of the earth (Mississippi Delta) and my roof is the tallest thing anywhere around here. When I get back to Idaho I need to find someone that will let me borrow their B.A.S.E. rig so I can jump off THE bridge. Want to lend me yours? -

I need a bird hunting shotgun, recommendations?
nate25 replied to LongWayToFall's topic in Speakers Corner
they make a plug for most any gun. If you buy a gun and it does not have a plug in it and you cant find one, well you just arent looking in the right places. you can always make one. I have forgotten to mine back in and just broke a stick off to the correct length.( the only time I ever take my plug out is when im deer hunting off horse back) I also use an 870 mainly for ducks. when I go pheasant hunting I usually take my over-under. There is no gun that will shoot 2 shots faster than an over under. Hell all you need is a single shot unless you jump up 2 birds. If you are having to ask these questions a third shot is not going to do you any good anyway. -
learned to pack a canopy yesterday
nate25 replied to Ketia0's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I remember my first pack job. It was a rainy saturday, didnt have anything else to do. I got one of the packers to show me how t pack. I packed it maybe 5 times before we all went home. I was planning on jumping it first thing the next morning. when I got there by buddy was about to do his last AFF jump and our instructors threw him the rig I had packed the day before. I just smiled and walked away. He went up and when he came down I asked him how it opened he said it was slow but very good. I started laughing and told him what happened. he was mad for a little bit but i had a good laugh. -
this made me pull out my card. recommended renewal date is 5/2009. I was certified in 2007 and before that in 2006. I think the last time before that was probably in the 90s. If I remember correctly in 2006 I was told 15:1 or 20:1 and in 2007 they said we didn't have to do the breathing. I was surprised to hear this bc I believe the first time I was taught cpr it was something like 5:2 Does that sound about like what others have been taught over the years? and you say the current is 30:2?

Anything a skydiver CAN'T get out of?
nate25 replied to councilman24's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
piper aztec as soon as you open the door the tail is going to fall out of the sky good luck getting out of that and surviving -
I bet mine is better jk Did I mention that we have 6 planes running it but for a totally different purpose
-
Whats wrong with the ole pen, paper, and a calculator(for those people that cant do math in their heads)? BUT I have an even better one for you that I have been putting some thought into for a while. Its a computer that ges in the plane that gives the pilot the perfect spot. how this would work is that it will take wind direction from the time the plane takes off untill it gets to jump run. with this program jump run could be at any altitude bc it will constantly be resetting jumprun as the data poors in. so if people are doing a hop n pop it will give a perfect spot for them based on the winds and altitude at that point. at the same time as you climb to normal altitude it will stil be figuring jumprun for you untill you get to altitude at which point the pilot jst has turn down the line on the screen(jumprun) turn red light on when he crosses the red dot and turn the greenlight on when he crosses the green dot. Oh and this is very doable but very expensive. sorry for rambling and Im sure some dude that mojored in english is having a fit right now

Are you sure its a scam the address on my checks is in MS at my parents house. I havent lived there in8 years but its the only steady address I have and I like the bank I have live in 2 other states since then just saying

Are there any reason or advantages to having an audible that logs jump info? Can any of the info it gives you actually help you improve on anything?

why hell yeah I bought my first rig I still have not even seen it yet. had it sent to my rigger he said it was good to go and I sent the money. now just waiting on some time to get there and try it out I also bought myself a camo browning bps and a ton of other hunting toys skydiving has yet to be as expensive as hunting and other hobbies but its catching up its really the combo of all of them that take a toll

I finally got my A license I have learned lots of stuff including how much I dont know. I met tons of new people made new friends and had more fun than I ever thought was possible before I got into this sport So to my instructors, new friends, people who have jumped with me, and people that have given me helpful advice this beer or jack is for you

:7:3 got my A license !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first 4 way well we at least got it docked but didnt get to turn any points first canopy stack I was told that I fall too slow on a jump and the next jump we went all out as fast as we could. that was fun then the next person i went with I forgot to slow it down and he had to go into a sit to catch me overall very fun weekend and learned how much I still have to learn
-
It happened to me one day. It got progressively worse as the day went on. The last jump I made that day I had some fun with it. I told the girl in our 3way that she hit me on exit. She felt pretty bad then she got mad when I told her the truth but we had fun with it for a hour or so. So anyway mine was probably from my nose being dry. Solutions.... nasal saline spray or some other form of a nasal moisturizer
