A major contributor to misunderstandings in these
times is the speed at which misinformation travels.
The mantra "take only pictures, leave only footprints"
began to disappear with black cordura and the Pegasus.
What has become of the sport is as bright as a custom rig.
There are now so many options offered to so many BASE
jumpers, and so many of us have participated in the
act of jumping modified exits and landing areas.
Is it fair now to chop down a jumper whose name you
do not even know, and whose face you have not even seen?
Myself I have had differences of opinions over the years
with many jumpers in many situations, maybe even you.
The thing is, the world is constantly changing, growing.
I appreciate each individuals way of looking at life, and BASE.
Let's not start another war, the World has enough already.
I could go on, but my sweetheart says it's "bedtime".

PS. Littering is a human condition, not exclusive to BASE jumpers.
Will BASE jumpers be the first to evolve into non trashing humans?

 
Base Jumping trails around Moab are some of the cleanest I've ever seen.

And althow I have other containers please note I still jump my black cordura velcro with my Pegasus.
And you can give me shit about it when you've jumped all the sites my Peg has.

i've got a purple cordura velcro.... has a raven in it though. i love that jumped out old whore of a tarp, even when she tries to kill me.

but i've never littered or fouled any site... in fact i usually end up hiking out with bags of other's litter. i'm pretty sure the litter was mostly red neck's and other average walmart american's, not jumper's.

not to say that there aren't disrespectful people in our sport that wouldn't toss their redbull can on the hike out, but, as a whole i feel that mostly we are a more mindful group than the average day tripper.
