Nightingale 0 #1 November 13, 2003 which container is easiest to pack? I did okay with the Javelin yesterday, but I was just curious how different they really are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 November 13, 2003 For a main or a reserve? If its a main they are all so close there is no real difference.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #3 November 13, 2003 hmm... main is my main concern, of course, since I'll be packing it. However, I don't want to piss off my rigger by picking a container that makes the reserve awful to pack either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicrussell 0 #4 November 13, 2003 The easiest to pack rig is one that is not too small for the big ass canopy you're shuvin' in there. Also some rigs have the closing loop on an extra flap at the top of the tray (be carefull not to have your closing loop "split" your lines that are stowed). you then proceed to go bottom, top, right, left, in closing sequence. Some rigs (like my wonderful Infinity have the closing loop on the top flap and then you proceed to route your closing loop through the grommets as numbered on the flaps, 1, 2, 3. almost idiot proof. nic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tobi778 0 #5 November 13, 2003 It's just a matter of getting used to your gear IMO. I have packed all of the above and none of them is hard to close as long as the canopy matches the container size and the closing loop length is correct. When you pack a new kind of rig be sure to ask someone or consult the manual about flap closing order and bridle routing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
falxori 0 #6 November 15, 2003 i doubt there is a real difference, once you get used to it. i like the loop on the bottom flap, it also seem safer to me. but what do i know, i only pack my own wings O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
