Hey folks,

I'm kinda going crazy here waiting on the spring winds to die so I can get back in the air and I've been reading/researching with this extra time in anticipation of my first rig showing up. There is a lot of informative knowledge to be found here. It's similar to a diamond mine for those who are hungry for information. Just wanted to say thanks to all of the folks who go out of their way to make sure the info is available for those who need it.

I started skydiving in the fall of 06 and began looking into BASE shortly after getting my A license. Since then I have made some contacts(whom are subsequently riddled with questions) at DZ's I've traveled to and tried to read anything I can find related to the subject. Trying to not be a complete idiot I did not pursue a jump until I had made ~520 skydives. My friend (the only active local I've met) had a travelling jumper stay with him for a while. The two of them death camped me last november and took me out to a local suitable object. I'm glad I waited as long as I did as it was quite the humbling (read as ) experience. And then I wanted to do it again, soo....

Over the winter I ordered a rig and was planning on doing a proper FJC this season, but lost my job before I could stash the funds for the course & trip. Bleh. I really want to take a course but the money now is an issue and I was wondering if people would share some advise with me. Does anyone have an opinion about whose course will be the most cost effective and not rob me of much needed information? Thanks again.

Jamison
