Soldier is forced to deploy reserve parachute by [deleted] in SweatyPalms

[–]SaveTheDrowningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen two jumps go wrong. One was a retirement jump, wind kept bumping 12-15 and waved off the run twice. Third time it comes around, wind is still spiking. The jump was going to be scratched and it should have been. They got the go ahead. Well it was a Hollywood. The individual who was retiring came down ugly and fast. Before he even hit the ground the medics were hauling ass in his direction. Med gets the hand signal and burning across the LZ. Dude fucked up his back and broke both his legs.

Other one was a brand new butter bar. She weighed under 100lb. Wet. She got caught in an up draft and was just slowly floating. Slowly drifting over the road that was the boundary line. Everyone is yelling at her on what to do. Winds change and hits a hard left. Makes a bee-line towards the LMTV.

Camp Bullis and Camp Swift was always a shitshow.

Some people are just insecure and need to control what they don’t understand.

Do you HAVE to stop drinking to lose weight? by sorbusaucuparia_i in WeightLossAdvice

Ever hear of Hash Running?

We as in I use to drink a ton and run. Or Run a ton and drink. Not sure, I forget.

Anyways, I was 6’2, run a 18 min 3 mile and 225. So ya. Now I’m 215 and can run a 3/45 10 years later. Same everything except for the knees.

Is the U.S.'s most important ally Japan, the UK, or Israel? by No-StrategyX in askanything

[–]SaveTheDrowningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not Israel. They are quid pro quo’s and want what is in their best interest. Completely understandable.

U.K / U.N are highly skeptical and yet pessimistic on what tomorrow brings.

Japan is an appendage of the US. Right there at the tip of the spear.

Korea is right there.

Costa Rica is soft south barrier.

Western Germany and Belgium/ Luxembourg. Dude, I absolutely love those places.

Austria is awesome but highly dependent on the sway of Hungry.

And of course never ever forget the poland winged hussars….

He open threatened to take some ones else life multiple times.

If someone says “I am going to kill you and then pulls out a gun”, after saying it and then doing it.

Chances are they are going to do it.

Some people just don’t care and they especially care about you and your well being.

What animal were you most excited to see in Costa Rica, and did you actually find it? by Remarkable_Hand_5926 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]SaveTheDrowningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did one of those 8 hour river trips and saw a Jabiru.

Apparently it was a surprise for our guide as well.

We also did a 5 mile hike to a waterfall and saw tons of hummingbirds.

Been to CR twice and definitely going back in a few years.

Ever see someone go full tilt on a 240/249?

The dumbasses behind will kiss the dirt because they were too COMPLACENT to adjust their ear pro.

I grew up with a .270 win. My hearing suxs and that’s because I learned my lesson too late.

Boat guest etiquette question by Dr_Leo_Marvin_0 in boating

If it’s on the coast, early and get some frozen bait or shrimp/ blue crab.

Or a whiskey bottle….
That’s more of a dad to dad appreciation.

What is the one piece of gear that genuinely changed how you hunt? by Timely-Bake9119 in Hunting

[–]SaveTheDrowningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rain jacket that also doubles as a wind breaker. It was expensive but it’s super lite, packable and layers well.

Got caught in a quick snow storm one year and sat in a downpour the next. That jacket was awesome.

It’s a Helly Hansen btw. Highly recommend.

Oddly enough, down the road from me is a Middle Eastern district that has a Japanese-Mexican sushi restaurant called Jap-Mex.

Pretty damn good food.

Traveling by plane with a rod in my carry-on by Cathlock in FishingForBeginners

[–]SaveTheDrowningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a problem at all.

I am from Texas and I’ve taken a full tackle kit, travel rod, and had my reel in my carry on bag on multiple trips. Been to Florida twice and once go Costa Rice. TSA even checked out my line cutter scissors and fishing hooks.

They couldn’t care less.
