Locating device mounting
A space blanket staked out on the ground can be a good signaling device.
And, for those of us who want a cushion between our lower backs and parachutes, consider a rolled up blanket.Â* Your rigger should be able to sew on some soft straps or cords with which to tie it securely in place.

I have had it mounted on the canopy frame to try to get the best view of the sky for tracking. It kind of gets in the way a little when on the chute harness. My assumption has been that in the event of a bad thing happening both the glider and I will be in close proximity. I got it wrong. My Spot will go back on the harness. 1- It stays with me. 2- Assuming I'm capable I can orient it and activate emergency even if I have bailed out. FWIW UH Anything you expect to help folks find you needs to be attached to the front of your chute.Â* Otherwise it is camping gear. I have my SPOT3 on chest strap (works fine).Â* SMAK PAK Survival Kit on right shoulder caries cellphone, whistle, mirror, strobe and space blanket. You have the parachute to keep you warm and provide some shelter. What is the purpose of the space blanket? -- Dan, 5J |
