But the problem i was having with the dog barking has came to a complete stop!!!!! Thanks to a damn dog whistle that i had no faith in when i bought it, the first whistle i got was junk and did nothing to the dog but this one works! but it was 20 bucks too.... worth it to me since the thing works every single time i blow the whistle the dog stops barking... a couple times i had to blow the whistle 2 times but the dog always stop barking.... And i blow the whistle from my living room and it still works on the dog next door!!!

So thankful for the whistle lmao, me and the wife have it hanging on the wall for easy access :)

Well, got another piece published in The Globe and Mail (Canada's national newspaper) today. Half page above the fold in the Health and Fitness section.

Here's a link to the online version.

I think I might pitch them on a piece about bushcraft.

Pretty cool man! I would try overlanding and maybe the wing suit but SUP just sounds like work.

As far as the KaBar beer; it depends on how the beer tastes. Generally American beer that is made by large companies tastes like watered down horse pi$&. If it tastes like a (coors/bud/mgd/etc...) then it's just a money making scheme. If it actually tastes like they care about good beer then hell yeah. I would hope they are not just trying to make a few bucks by slapping the name of such a great company on a cheap pi$& water beer.
 
Flying a wingsuit is amazing. Closest to human flight I have come!!!!!!! It is an amazing feeling. SUP looks sweet too, I haven't tried it yet, but I will.
 
Finally got the floor all ripped out and the new put back in. Yee haw. That is all.

First time I flew a wingsuit was in Utah, my friends suit. I have a tracking suit which is similar but not the same.

(Has a leg wing and inflates to give more surface area, I can hang with wingsuits with this one. I'm lanky lol)

Currently, I teach skydiving in south FL. I have about 5,500 jumps. We need to have a BeckerHead skydiving day! Who's in???

lol! Very nice! Isn't there a wingsuit manufacturer based in Florida? 5,500 jumps? - Yeah, you qualify!
 
I would be down for skydiving, and I'm a beckerhead! Now I just have to get to Florida...
 
There are a bunch of skydiving manufacturers in FL. Part of the reason I'm here. Great weather and year-round jumping.

I'm serious about jumping, I jump every day. Who's with me? Get down here!! Beckerhead discount.

My avatar is me and my wife on a tandem. The GoPro made the sky bend and I thought that was cool, ha!

My favorite is demos though.

Night jump into a stadium. (Taken under parachute around 3000ft, the landing pic is the one above this one)

If you got a chute that will work for my fat ass, I'm thinking next year after blade, Beckerhead gathering in Florida! :D
 
HWF, while that looks awesome from your pics, that is about the top tier of HELL NO for me... when did you start jumping? In the military?
 
Im with the hell NO lmao... that is higher than i ever need to get lmao

I have repelled from helicopters in the army (air assault training) but airborne (parachuting) was not in my plans lol
 
My father in law was in the 101st Airborne in WWII. He's 88, and plans on making one more jump.
 
Heck yeah! I would love to go skydiving. Not too far from you in Atlanta. I am ok with any height that I am for the most part guaranteed to die from. Skydiving = heck yeah, bungee jumping = not a snowballs chance in hell.
 
I want to skydive so bad, eventually would want to try out a wing suit... My ultimate goal would be a halo jump!
 
So I finally got my falcon II and I got to say, I should of got this bag instead of my s-type stika... Almost the same bag, stika is kinda heavy on one shoulder when loaded up with gear and feels like its pulling the shoulder back.

I will take ALL you guys on a skydive. Also, I will never bungee jump, that is crazy! ;)

710, if you do a tandem that is technically a halo jump. High altitude low opening. The military considers anything above 13,000ft a halo jump. Tandems are done from that altitude all the time. I know what you mean though, 30,000+ ft. That would be the sh**. I've only ever jumped from 23,000, I'd love to do a 35,000ft jump.

Also, is the falcon II the same size as the Sitka? I have a Sitka but personally dislike the single strap.
