What would you like to have in a BASE logbook?

I’m thinking things like:

Hardcover or softcover, ringbound or glued, number of jumps, jump details, number of objects, etc. etc. etc.

If I like the suggested features or enough people want the same thing, I will incorporate it into the logbook I am creating if possible.

Thanks

In 1988 I created the very first BASE logbook. I ran a small ad in Phil Smith's BASEline Magazine and sold about twenty of them that first year.

Back in that time having a hundred BASE jumps was a real big deal and the first guy who called to say he needed a second logbook was a pretty cool thing.

I kept the very first "BASELog" and I'm saving it for the BASE museum . . .

On this new logbook – keep it simple – my old design asked for so much information it took longer to fill out than it did to make the jump . . .

Hardcover, please! Not too many questions asked, like NickD says.

Jump#, date, object, and some space for addidtional info. (Who got busted, who screwed up etc.)

Yeah, I remember when you first offered those BASE logs for sale.
I bought one then, still have it, as well as the copy of BASEline that it was advertised in.

That's so cool, Jay . . .

i just use the skydive logbooks,hardcover jump# place plan/object(BASE)gear,delay
i then add winds if i need a bad excuse as a fuck up,besides that i only use it as telling the funny storryes,meaning im not logging all my jumps anymore...its just #´s its the storryes that really matters

$1000 bills between the pages.
Strippers to carry it around for me.
A midget scribe to take full accounting of my jumps and write it all down in flawless calligraphy.
Combinations to every padlock in the world.
Phone numbers to the locals (of every area), directions to (every) object, a set of master keys to all other locks.
relevant law enforcement frequencies
My lawyer's number
key to my Testarossa.

How big is the book going to be? that will help me figure out what else I can get in there.
Those are the basics though.
