Thank you! I appreciate hearing that!

Much obliged! 👍🏻

Agreed.

Yep, the netting is loud. ☹️ one of the downsides of ordering online. I had no idea until it arrived. But I think it shows potential visually. So I need to find netting made with another type of material that is quieter, but still creates that stand off and thermal break. Humn. Softer and more flexible probably means quieter, but it might lay flat instead of having that “poofiness” I want. Technical term. From the 80’s. For hair. Lol. 🙄 I need to talk to a costume specialist to get ideas on what types of material might fit the bill. There might be something commercially available im just not aware of. Anyway, thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I’ll just keep on trying. 👍🏻

@@ThatThermalGuy I reckon the netting is only loud coz it's really loose. If it's fixed together it won't rub between layers and in a fitted fixed suite/position it,'ll fit and be quiet. Then stitch onto it some ghillie strips which will silence the netting further and aid in blocking visual plus thermal Sig.

@@ms_needle3502 Hey, got it! I had started writing a response, then got your second, and deleted everything before I sent it. Lol. Good timing. 👍🏻 I’ll write more tomorrow, but wanted to at least confirm receipt. Thank you!

We picked it up at an army surplus store, I think it was outside Layton/Salt Lake City UT area. Huge. Can’t remember the name though. Be advised, the strings were cut. It was not a usable parachute. But the chute itself was full and intact.

@@ThatThermalGuy ight what material is it made from. It looks like nylon and I was wondering if I could possibly use other nylon based fabric as a substitute.

What material are we talking about though,you neeed to be specific,is it terylene?

Pretty easy. You tune it out and ignore it. I didn’t even notice it was still doing it until people started commenting. I’ve changed the battery a couple times and verified voltage via multimeter. Batteries are fine. The detector falsely reads low for whatever reason. But it goes off when smoke backdrafts from wood stove into room, or when I cook with oil too hot on cast iron pan. So it works fine. I just tune it out and don’t even notice anymore. You’d be surprised what you can adapt to and tune out.
