World Parachuting Championships at Skydive Chicago

For this event I was hired to provide sound reinforcement, lighting, music, and video projection through out the event. Starting with the...

Unfortunately, I will be doing sound/DJ for a good friends celebration of life this weekend. Hopefully the next date will work out. I hope you guys have a good trip.

Looks like I have a new date to try for. I'll start collecting some camping meals. What does the site have for water?

When I got it, it wouldn't stitch. It needed a cleaning. The bobbin cartridge had bits of fabric stuck in it. After a cleaning, it's been fine. No issues at all. The service manuals are available...

Machine two of four. Singer Touch-Tronic 2001 with buttonhole attachment. In original table that needed a bit of TLC. The whiter wood was what I had to replace from water damage. Purchase Price $10

This was the first one for me to post...

Same thing I was thinking

That is one of my top reasons for getting back into camping.
My kids grew up outside a lot in their single digit years. Now, they have a heathy mix of tech, sports, and general outdoors. Starting...

The rain isn't as soft here in Ottawa. Wind is low, 7mph. After this it's supposed to clear up.
The wind looks like it will pick up into the 20's in the late morning. Tie your stuff down.

While I haven't researched the dream hammock, here is a video that talks about the calculator accuracy.

Staying out of the center 1/3 will do the most to reduce flex. I would go with a 4x4 and solid anchoring. Tying to joists top and bottom should be done as well.

Since it is an 80+ year old house, it may be built with a balloon frame style. This would not have a top and bottom plate like what is used in more modern platform style construction. You will want...

It's not so much the construction there as it is the forces applied. One of the reasons the 30* angle is sought after. 30* for my setup is 260# of line tension with 225.2# of shear force. Changing...

Well, my gear arrived in time. Unfortunately, my folded ankle hasn't allowed me to overnight in it yet. My plan was to bike the 33 miles to the site and join you guys. Looks like I'll have to try...

I would wonder how they were using the hitch. If the weight was on the toggle or the knot.
I am new to hammocks, but not to rope/knots. I could not find the reduction percentage for that hitch in...

Thank you for the info. I had seen the SPE on Shug's videos and read about it in "The Ultimate Hang". My intention for the pad is to get me until I can afford an under quilt. I just put out $500...

I sent that from the hammock. I spent 3 hours in the same position without pain. I have t been able to do that for a long time in any position, on a bed, etc.

Spent my first hour in it. I was comfortable right away.
It's 60 degrees with 10 mph winds.
I have no top cover and the blue closed cell foam.
Where ever the foam is I am very warm. I will pick...

I would suggest getting to a group hang. Get some feed back on your equipment and take a look at others. Try out some stuff before spending more money.
There was one between Pittsburgh and...

I am very happy with the quality of work and my material selection.
It is dark olive green and charcoal grey inside.
I have not gotten to lay in it yet.

I just received mine and did a test setup. Yes, it slips off the end if you want to remove it.

A yard of fabric is always 36 inches long, but the width usually varies between 32 and 60 inches. Most fabrics are available in widths of 45 inches and 60 inches. Extra-large bolts up to 110 inches...

Thanks for that.
I burnt up a bit of my wallet this morning.

We will have to see if everything aligns properly. I have a first aid/CPR certification class that weekend, but it's only a couple hours. The gear has to arrive and be tested. And now, thanks to a...

There is a small chance that I will be able to put together my gear purchases by then. I would be interested in coming out and meeting a few of you.
That location is only 40 min. from me.
