Terry, Its been a few days, wheres the pics? You're saying that the newer (nicer) seal die works in the paragear press? Can you post pics of how the seals look (and you're still using the 1/2"?) I recently aquired a (free) press, which I need to get some dies for... and would rather get something thats nice and crisp, not so much like the paragear ones...

Just wait till some poor unfortunate rigger candidate starts doing his reserve packjobs on a rig that has an Argus in it... Bet they get to know the guys at the local photo shop pretty well.

Take a 1 gal ziploc bag of water, drop it on your foot... Take a 1 gal ziploc bag of water, put it in the freezer and remove the ice cube in a bag, drop it on your foot... Which one hurts more? (actually, you're an EMT right? Use IV bags, they don't break as easily, even if they're smaller than a gal.)

If you had sufficient altitude and made two attempts at the handle without success..., and could feel the bridle coming out boc it might be worth giving it one good yank before initiating EP's. (Again, given sufficient altitude) The OP has 3 jumps... Would you recommend mid air rigging to someone that barely knows how to pull for himself?

Even before the snow started while I was in TN, my truck went sideways making a turn... (The 1-2 shift happened half way thru the turn, and it broke the back tires loose) It's been in 4wd since. Sure, 4wd won't save your ass if you're an idiot and don't know how to drive, but it sure as hell can if you know what you're doing.

You think that getting ahold of your bridle is going to be any easier than finding your handle? Most of it is inside the pouch, with the PC... the rest is under flaps. Mid air rigging could get you killed, or worse, someone else. No comment. i meant a premature deployment, thanks andy. if the container is open but the pilot chute is still in the boc spandex, it might (just maybe) be possible (if not easier) to find the bridal and try to get the pilot chute out before going silver. i thought this was one of the main reasons for using the Germain method??? Note under the video, posted by BG: "Hi "sweatykev01", Unless you are really high and very experienced, leave your hook knife in the pocket unless there is no other option. Try throwing the pilot-chute first. If you can't get it out, then just chop. There is a pretty good chance it will clear anyway. Hopefully you helped an old person across the street that day and earned some karma points..." He says pull the PC, if it doesn't come out, chop.

Try it... put your rig on, have someone pop the pin and pull the bag up, see which is easier to get to. Im willing to bet that your PC would be easier to grab than your bridle. Keep in mind that main out of the container will cause the flaps to be in a place they're not usually at during pull time. The BG method of packing the PC is so the drag of the bridle coming out will pull not cause the PC to lock in the pouch, and if the drag is enough on the bridle, it could extract the PC. I think he would have to be in a hanging harness to do that correct. When the bag is out it will most likely deploy the canopy. Im not sure you even can reach the handle if you are under canopy. I would think the handle will be higher up when the canopy is out. You don't need to be in a hanging harness, the main might not deploy, watch THIS The main is just trailing, causing the horseshoe, and doesn't deploy till the PC is extracted. If the PC gets locked in the pouch, then you pretty much have to try like hell to get it out, and execute your EP's. (Chopping, clearing the risers, and firing your reserve past the ball of shit you're trailing) The BG method keeps the chance of the PC getting locked in the pouch. Also, I see where the other posters are getting the idea of pulling their bridle... BG does that in the video to illustrate how it works, I highly doubt he would advise you to pull the bridle.

Also, there are a couple youtube videos on the PD channel that show packing a brand new Sabre2 260... He shows you the way I was taught by one of the Fastrax Swoop guys... Fold the canopy under, don't roll it... It will help keep the entire packjob under control.
