@sloppyjoejumper I remember when they did a demonstration from the 300' tower using a Dummy the reserve had plenty of time to open and after that pretty much the entire company was relieved to know that the reserve chute would work and open in a short amount of time.
This vid looks very nice guys. They use very steerable rounds. The harness, packtray and reserve container are looking like T-10/MC-1 types, but the parachute wich comes out doesn't even look like this. Wich parachute type is this and what kind of reserve they use?
@MarsAssessor They use a variant of the MC-1C that SF uses. The SJ chute is more steerable due to landing in very small areas and is able to be used at higher altitudes than the standard military chutes.
@jwatter440 I've found out more about the parachute. This is the SF-10A. In 2008 I made a couple of jumps with old ParaCommanders and a Thunderbow. This SF-10A parachute almost has the same performance. Jumping an SF-10A is now on my wish list. This seems a lot of fun to me.
I'd love to be a smoke jumper, ever since I went to Army Airborne school I can't get enough and I want to be a fire fighter too so it would be the best of both worlds. How do I sign up?
Also think about taking an Air ops class and crew boss class and you will have a better chance. That's what i have done and im getting looked at right now.
This footage is a bold display of braveness and heroism.....dare I say godliness? It seems, however, that this "smokejumping", as you call it, is much easier in this place you call "GAC"? Wouldn't it be more challenging....say....south of Oregon and west of Nevada....for example?
@11redfurd First off, get at least a half dozen seasons years) of real fire experience under your belt, then try to get on a hotshot crew and then start thinking about applying for a rookie jumper position.
BAMFs!!!!!!!!!!

What altitude do you guys jump from? I remember when I went to jump school all of our jumps were from 1260'

@1Paintballer
We jump from 1500 feet, which is suppose to give you enough time to pull your reserve but I am not too sure about that
