Hi Sergio,

....please let me in on the secret "how to retire at 60" .... when you find it!

I found that age helps with the "famous/hero syndrome" - - but not always.

Often a "near-miss" experience helps to straighten out, but with myself it took a lot of those to smart up .......

The real change is when your first offspring arrives - most times this results in a complete change in priorities! .... at least for me!
(My gang is 3 strong, 5+9, wife)


Doing longline, I believe the helmet to be the more important item - if I have to choose.....
Mostly the environment around long lining is rather rough after the crash and you may get tossed around a lot.

Obviously BOTH items (helmet + crashseat) are the ticket - in the B3 that's the only seat for me anyway. The old plastic buckets are aweful!!

Sergio, thanx again for your info!

Let me know, if/when something more is coming up!


Cheers,
