This new spin on this thread reminds me of something that my Grandad used to say. "Im just seeing how far I can lead a jack ass with out a rope" :risas2:
Yeah, generally speaking skis are not kept on the same rack as heat seeking surface to air missiles. But if you really want to freak an air force load master out just tell him that your jumping a live Stinger out of his bird.
Actually the "ski bags" are old school Stinger Missile jump packs. Hence the old woodland green camo pattern. But a pair of skis and a M-4 fit nicely inside.
My bad. I didnt scroll up and see that he was using an inner tube patch. I meant use a piece of INNER TUBE rubber cut out to roughly a bit bigger than the hole. Cement that on with barge or shoo goo and I bet that thin will be as water tight as a frogs a$$ again.
I wouldnt be so sure of that. Back in the day, we would pad the knees, elbows and belly of our ghillie suits with thick canvas glued on with shoo goo and stitched by hand with dental floss. That fiberous material wore out pretty quick pretty quick crawling around on the ground all day...
Its the 'Rope Gremlins' dude. Those little bastards tick me off to no end. The only thing worse are "throw line mites". They are very tiny and almost impossible to see unless you shake them off on a piece of paper. I hate those lil SOB's worse that that Murphy guy who is always fouling up...
A piece of inner tube should make a fine patch. I am a big fan of Shoo Goo. Its like a repair kit in a tube. The Barge cement is some heavy duty stuff. Like Tom said. You will only get one chance to get your patch positioned then its stuck there forever and ever.
I just got a cold call from these guys at Yodel. I told them I was interested but had to research them and Im not committing to anything. Then I got on here and read everyone else's thoughts on it. Thanks.
To be fair, does anyone have anything GOOD to say about this service??
Fun fun fun, I remember those days contract climbing in the big D. Im kinda jealous, but Im kinda not. Cant wait to do a day a speedlining tall Cwoods with ya. We will get some killer footage then. :bananahappy:
Here, I will brighten things up with a pic I took yesterday. I was about 2 ft. away from her in the bucket. She did not want me messin around in her tree. No worries though, she didnt get evicted. :):)
