ManBird 0 #1 October 6, 2003 I've been having wonderful results with my BASE PC pouch until yesterday. Mistake #1 was forgetting to tell my packer not to pack my PC. Mistake #2 was not repacking it. Mistake #3 was flying hard until I was exhausted (though I gave myself about 800 - 1000 feet to relax my arms). The result was a no pull. I attempted to pull it out with both hands, but it was so bunched up that it still took two hands to pull it on the ground. Lesson #1 is to pack your own PC if you choose to use the pouch. Lesson #2 is that the BASE PC pouch is not the same as a BOC pouch, and you cannot pack your PC the same way as you can with your BOC. The PC must be MUCH thinner and "bunching" of the PC is intolerable on the pouch (guide the PC in with a finger). And I really wanted to fly my main on that one. :("¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 October 6, 2003 So what are you telling us? That you rode your CYPRES in, or did you keep your cool and pull your reserve after the second try? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManBird 0 #3 October 7, 2003 I don't have a Cypres. I fought with it until about 2K when I decided it wasn't going to come out. I went back into a knees-down flight to slow my fall rate and forward speed and then pulled silver at 1,800. Nice soft terminal reserve deployment. :)"¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #4 October 7, 2003 Likewise, I don't have a CYPRES in my BM rig. It started out as my competition pond swoop container, so I have never bothered to put one in there. No biggie, I was just wondering how long you fucked with your total. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
