I've spent more time on top of my new canopy tonight than my last girlfriend.

Trying to pack my new (never packed) Safire2 into a brand new Vector3... Starting to wonder if I might end up with 'blue balls'.:(

Looks like a smooth concrete floor. New ZP and concrete (well anything smooth) don't go well. Try it on some carpet if you have any, it will allow it to slip less.

Yeah the concrete sure doesn't help. I'm taking a water break and then back at it... It may be a long night of sweet, sweet packing. Maybe it will help if I light some candles.

SO...how much time did you last GF spend on it?
With or without you?
My reality and yours are quite different.

Psychopack that bitch for about 25 times, then roll back to the ProPack.



I did that once cause I wanted to make the sunset load and it took me forever to get my new canopy in the bag.

The opening caught me off guard, almost chopped it, thought I had a bag lock or something...

I always laugh at psychopacks, just watching your first one can throw you off guard like "what the fuck is he/she doing?!"

Theres a real comedy to watching a canopy get rolled up like a sleeping bag. Just goes to show how well shit works.

You're right about it working, but I'll share a story. I too, was rolling it like a sleeping bag until at one boogie; a voice from behind says, "That's not how it was intended when I developed the Psychopack." So, I turned around to look and it's Beezy. So, I asked him to show or tell me the correct way. "Don't roll it up tight like a sleeping bag, cut it into thirds and lay it down to control with your knees." [EDIT: Basically, bag depth] Works LOTS better.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Just what I was thinking? Why would his last girlfriend care about his new canopy anyway?

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
