Seems like desert camo would be more appropriate... Cool

From what I can see, the container looks fine. I'd recommend trading up from that old Fury, though.

Have you guys found Dead Steve's exit out there? The one where Steve M. had a wall strike, put himself in the hospital, and consequently avoided being on an aircraft that exploded in midair?

This thread really made me laugh and I'm not being sarcastic. Some guy proudly presents his new hand made rig and in return gets comments and recomendations on his carpet.

Excellent!

The test jumpers did it from a helicopter UH60

the freaking chute opened about 15 meter far from the helicopter

I did not jump this specific rig

they are trying to jump from 2 other places, one is a bridge and the other is nice 1000 ft building

i will post here when they do it

The guy who did this rig is a grate guy and trying out such new container's

before jumping any solid objects try and get another canopy. buy a used or new BASE specific canopy. modern technology that is worth the investment.
