[balloon-makers] Update

[Kasey Schwemmer]

Jon, Adam, Kelley, Mark, Keith, and Don,

Thank you all for the (interesting!) suggestions and help. I have looked through all of the major corporatin websites (wal-mart, lowes, etc..) before and found nothing suitable, just as Jon said to steer clear of the ones they do have. Haven't tried many other local places so I will have a look sometime soon. 

I've thought about a harness. I've even talked with some friends that sky-dive here about an old harness they have available. But my concern is those slightly windy flights we often do here in Kansas...

Kasey

I'd beware of that one. Says "Contractor Grade," so you can assume
it's almost guaranteed to be built wrong, fail spectacularly, incur
major hidden costs, and/or walk (fall) off the job without finishing.
