Thank you! This has been very helpful! Blue skies always! 🤙🏼

Thank you for this video!

Amazing video ! thank you for sharing

I was fortunate (at least i belive it was furtunate), to pack my parachute since AFF jump 1. here´s how it came to this: I did groundschool and the next weekend the weather was to windy for students to jump -_- Next friday i got an email from my instructor: "we basicly lost our plane - the guy who owned it sold it yesterday without telling us beforehand. We try to figure out how to get the students thrue AFF and beyond the licence" The next week or so i got another email: "We will bring you in the air, at other dropzones, but there will be no packer for us. well make appointments with the other dropzones and all students get a groundschool refresher and get to pack under supervison before hand." Because of this situation I packed from jump 1 onwards(always under supervison and with checks performed by our instructors inbetween of course), and also jumped at 2 different Drozones until I got my licence. I was always comfortable jumping my packjobs and never got any problems besides one or two somewhat harder openings. Only thing that sucked was double stowing EVERY FRICKING STOWPOINT with the huge linesets on our student rigs. Because of that my first own rig (which i will receive hopefully next weekend) comes with a stemi-stowless bag xD. My very first packjob (at the groundschool refresher took me about 2 hours; Now after around 60 Jumps im at roughly 15 to 20 minutes uninteruptes. Hard to tell the time, because i still jump rental gear and are not allowed to just pack it at the dropzone, but need to get "packchecks" in between...

Very useful thank you

True!

That "stickiness" is more likely to be caused by the urethane coating on free-bag fabric. That fabric was originally water-proofed because it was intended to be made into back-packing gear.

I was taught 2 handed.

Long stort short, if the bag is not out theres nothing to cut away.

Clear introduction thank you!

Perfect video for me. Did my 50st jump last week. My first container (Vector3) should arrive in a few weeks (fingers crossed). I´ll go with a new container (because of my size it was not likely to find a good fitting used container, checked with several riggers and then made the decision to buy new); the main, reserve and AAD will be used tho. I´m looking for something around 168 -170 sqf for my first parachute. I already jumped with Navigator 210 200 190, Pilot 168, and Scorpion 170. I weight around 57kg naked so I get a wingload of around 0.9 with a 170.

Very good explanation of the DVS. Really clears up quite a few things for me . Thanks Tony :)

Do you work out of the house?

Thank for your content. You change my mind

Aaaa. Thank is great! ❤🎉😊 Fantastic!

Cameras mounted on any helmet compromise protection, its banned in most motorsport, and just look at what happened to Schumacher. However, where else are you going to put them, so its just a case of accepting that risk

I cut away an on level line twist yesterday. Couldn't clear it and got to 1800' and chopped it. I found everything and landed safely. Made two more jumps with my turn rig. No sense getting hurt.

1978-83 version: My first was C9, then PTCH-C, Strato Star, and Magnum.

Miss you Mark. I was the newbie A licencer 25 years ago and you made me feel welcome.

I'm honestly surprised that this wasn't stressed more in my training. Most things on my rig have the potential to get me killed. The closing loop is one of the things most likely to get other people killed. It should be treated with a lot more respect than it normally seems to get.

Wonderful explanation 👏

I jumped out there from 1978-80. It was the wild west in some ways and a hell of a lot of fun. The old packing tables had ruts worn in the dirt on both sides from the jumpers packing the old rounds.

Deep learning (truly) happens when things fail! Thanks for sharing this Tony, and thanks for all the time and effort put in too!

Holy shit; this is an insanely underrated video.

Laughed listening to this. I once asked (as a joke) if another skydiver ever looked at his rig and thought "well, at least I trust one of the two people who packed a parachute in this rig" He asked who did my reserve and ensured me that I had a good rigger. I told him that I knew he was a good rigger. That's the one I trust. I didn't trust the main that *I* had packed 😅

packing my own death sentence.. so relatable haha

Good discussion

I saw all of your videos Tony. Thanks you for your time to share your knowledge

Great explanation !!!

awesome presentation man.

Great lecture!

An extremely nice and informative video. I had this confusion about LAG's and LACP. Thanks for correcting me.

@ Tony B On a home network and what to do in VMWare Workstation if I want my VM to be isolated so no infections and vm escape can happen but also have internet connection?

Hi @TonyBourke Even bloopers teach a lot of things. 1. How to use l3-edge role with ip auto assignment 2. How to use host vars and assign ip manually 3. How to add custom prefix to structured config files Nothing embarassing I appreciate you having put this up for us to learn from. Takes courage to upload something where one fails.

Hi @tonyBurke Great content, building the files from scratch and explaining them as you go along is the best way to teach. Lot of effort, please keep up the great work

Ty very much!

Indeed a deep dive. Thank you Tony

Impact rated at 120mph terminal velocity😊

That was fantastic. Cleared up a lot of misinformation rattling around in my head.

Why just few seconds, I want to see it all

Thanks for sharing Tony. I'm struggling with some errors using AVD examples and your video gave me some other ideas.........keen to test it in the morning, the only difference is I need to find a way to adapt the inventory.yml to CVaaS....will find a way.

Very detaik

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but please bear with me if you could. I work with a sound engineer who used Waves Soundgrid protocol for his sound system. Each device in this protocol can be connected via ethernet network, thus the implementation of network switches. Recently he thought that his network connection, especially from the front of house (mixer control) to stage could use redundancy/traffic regulation via the use of LAG, thus comes the swap from unmanaged switches to managed switches. But the thing is, the switches we bought are only capable of creating static LAG, we then tested that when one of the trunked ports in the same LAG starts to drop in speed (from 1GB to 100MB) AND one of the normal speed Gigabit port is elaborately disconnected; the connection between stage and front of house seems to drop out as well, because a LAG require all ports to run at the same speed and duplex. This issue can be seen when there are: - 2 ports within the same LAG (If one drops in speed, the connection ceases) - 3 ports within the same LAG (if one drops in speed, and the other one got disconnected, the connection ceases) The issue becomes non-existent with 4+ ports in the same LAG. The problem is that, it is almost impossible to request every music venue's suppliers to provide us with 4 80-meter ethernet cables from the front of house to stage, because they have to be shared with and cycled between other bands. We could bring our own, but currently as the budget and man power allow; we could only bring 2. We need to be sure that the LAG would still be up and undisturbed during the whole show or the result could be disastrous. The LAG already did traffic regulation pretty well, seeing that there are almost little to no errors packets on the Soundgrid side, but the redundancy is still very unsafe. Questions: 1. Is there a specific cause to speed drops in the port/cable and how can we prevent this? Because the drop would cause problems for the whole LAG 2. Is there a workaround for this? Or do we need switches that are capable of implementing LACP on LAGs to make them dynamic?

Thank you so much for explaining is thoroughly.

Fantastic content!

100 gbit coffee maker, heh. Thank you for this; it is useful without going way into the weeds.

Hi Tony, I watched part one and even after surfing GitHub couldn't find your PowerPoint file. Is there somewhere I can download that from? Thank you for the video and supporting scripts.

very conceptual explanation

Definitive video on the topic. Essential viewing.
