  8. had one break during packing recently I put it on new maybe 50 jumps ago. depends on what material you are using and how you pull out the pull up cord and what your tring to shove in there. BASE 1519
  9. like you can put a gopro housing on after 100 jumps with no camera in it so you dont have to worry about getting the shot only the snag hazzard. BASE 1519

  16. how many jumps did you have before? why are you jumping a 220 from the dz and want a 150-170? Why not rent canopies that size and see how you are doing. you will also hear dont buy for the future buy for now. BASE 1519

  21. tail pocket velcro lasts 100-200 jumps on my base rig on average before the lines start dumping and need replacement just for reference BASE 1519
  22. Until it gets worn out then crashes you into the ground regularly. I've seen people hurt from jumping F-111 gear that's well past its prime. Hell - I've jumped F111 stuff that required multiple wraps to get even a weak flare. Considering F-111 also tends to require a different flare style to ZP, and given that 99% of all second canopies are going to be a ZP one and therefore requires a bit of relearning, I'm not convinced second hand F-111 canopies are that good a choice for new jumpers any more. Can you please remind us which material are all reserves and BASE canopies are made out of ? Thanks ! I dont have a problem with them for over 700 jumps I think he is just saying old f111 canopies are not the best option for newer jumpers. btw my base canopy has over 500 jumps and lands just fine BASE 1519
