Which FCJ or death camp do you suggest
A few details, I live in the south, I would rather quality over cost unless it is just throwing money away. I have contacted tom about his course at potato. It seems nice that is is in all one location. I dont have gear yet. Thanks

Re: Which FCJ or death camp do you suggest
hey brother,
I highly recommend Johnny Utah's BASE Camp. I went and did my first Jumps with Johnny in May of '04, I had a blast. Johnny called me, and checked out my references, then agreed to take me out. he sent me a packing video that he made which helped me feel confident in my ability to pack, and let me get in some practice before I got out there so I could concentrate on the jumps. He also sent a video showing the different malfunctions that can occur, which we would later watch while he explained why each can occur, how to prevent them, and what to do if one occurs. I really liked that his course was a week long, instead of just a weekend, and it was much less expensive than the other courses, he also has really nice gear to use if you don't have your own by then (he'll also get you a good deal on gear). Johnny is a great teacher, Fun, thorough, I could tell he really cared about our safety. I talk to Johnny often, he's a great jumper, and a really good guy. Check out his website! JohnnyUtah.com Heh, Johnny loves to BASE jump, he lives in Chicago  Have fun, Don't die! ~J |

Usual disclaimer... Read all you can, find a mentor, talk about it with family, etc  Good luck Last edited by dbagdrew; April 2nd, 2007 at 03:08 PM. |

morpheus in Florida they have good FCJ, they give you discount on gear If you buy before or after you do the course, all the FCJ is at potato bridge but there pretty close to you so you can visit theme in person they can show you around too,
