Nullified 0 #2 September 15, 2003 Well, here's my technique; Normal pro pack, but I don't roll the nose. Rather, I take the 1st and 7th cell and just kind of fold them over cells 2-6. Lay it down and squeeze the air out of it. Stow my lines, pulling the rig towards the canopy. Once my lines are stowed and I've shut the tail pocket, I pick up the canopy and flip it...so that the risers are laying in place and the canopy is "Upside down." I pull the rig a little towards the canopy and neatly stowe the line slack. Pull a little more while holding the tail pocket, and place the tail pocket in the container. Then, I Slip my right arm beneath the canopy near where the bridal attaches to the rings, and curl my arm around it. Sort of like I've got the thing in a choke hold. I place my left hand like a knife on top of the canopy, just above where the tail pocket is laying in the container and begin to S-fold it in to the container. That's pretty much it. It's MUCH easier than squeezing a canopy in to a D-bag. With this method, I've found that I can make the pack job as neat as I want, but...and I have no explanation...every time I pack it neatly I get slammed and the canopy searches for a heading. When I just close the thing and leave scary amounts of nylon sticking out the sides, I have incredibly beautiful, dead on heading deployments. Stay safe. If you're gonna' be stupid, well, then you're most likely stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 38 #3 September 15, 2003 I do pretty much the same thing, except I don't s-fold the canopy. I fold it in half, and then in half again - it looks somewhat like a sleeping bag roll. It stays in place a lot easier and is nowhere near as "squirmy" as s-folds. Tail-pockets are definitely easier to pack than bags... W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
