does anyone know where I can find instructions for packing a round parachute? MC1-1B

You need to be a bit more specific than "round parachute."

I live with fear and terror, but sometimes I leave her and go skydiving.

Is it a T-10?? Lopo?? Paracommander?? Not that I know how to pack either, but those are the ones I know of.

O. K. attach the apex to solid point. have someone or something pull tension on the harness. flake out the gores. fold it into the d-bag. or pull the sleeve over it. stow the lines. close the container ymmv it;s been over 25 years and I'm not a rigger

i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

OK, which one is it? One has control lines and one doesn't. Other than that packing should be about identical. The TM found here should help you.http://www.tpub.com/content/parachutes/TM-10-1670-292-23P/index.htm

Scroll down to "folding the gores" to get to what you want.

Scientific studies showed that this was best done by a female between the ages of 17 & 23 wearing a bikini top.

Let's see, I just packed one about 3 weeks ago, I think with the 2-stow death diaper.

I think all you'll need is a 40-foot long smooth table with attachment and tension points at each end, and a light source on one long side.

But now that I've seen Airtwardo's post, I like his method much, much better.

I think it would be best, however, to have (strong) 2 women - one holding tension at each end. Tom Dolphin teaches us to always use the right tool(s) for the job!
