Packing Instructions Website

Recommended Posts

Many of us use the resources of "Parachute Riggers of SkyDiveKy" -

www.parachuteriggers.com/packing%20instructions.htm

Despite having a large collection of manuals myself, there's often another one I need and I can usually find them on the site, and I've also been able to contribute some extra manuals. I'd encourage anyone who has a manual not listed on the site to send a copy of it to the webmaster, so we can all share the manual worldwide.

It represents one of the best one-stop-shops for manuals including older gear. Riggers and packers are still responsible for ensuring the currency of the instructions they use, but the website is a fantastic starting point with over 700 manuals and documents available.

The site is much recommended by others, but is often referred to as being free. Surely it is NOT free? The webmaster must put in hours of work each week to keep it up to date with extra manuals and other updates....someone is paying for hundreds of MB of server space....someone is making their time available to email the off-line manuals.

I hear that the site may be closed soon because of these unsupported costs. There's a link on the homepage to make a donation to help keep it running - please consider donating if you use it, alternatively be prepared to pay an annual fee for access.

In the meantime...

1. Thanks to webmaster Jim Moore for all your work

2. Riggers and packers please put some money where your mouth is and help keep the site running

Blue skies,
Andrew Hilton
