If you happen to get your hands on a new chute with a tight d-bag please do a video on the best way to pack it. I fight with it for an hour and then just pay someone. Great video, thanks.
hey man how hard is it to learn those ram air chutes? after watching this it made me think of packing again.. i only messed with mc-6/t-10/11 static lines in the army but have always wanted to get into free fall. and i figure packing could be a way for me to fund it :)
It's actually relatively easy to learn. I encourage you to seek out proper instruction if you have an interest, because this would be a great way to get familiar with the tools of the skydive before you consider freefall
+Thomas Grana that's what it looks like man. yea definitely would go hang out at a dz and learn from the riggers as much as possible before I give it a go. but it really doesn't seem too bad though. thanks for the reply man.
Every rig and deployment bag will be different.. it kinda depends on the length of the d-bag and the length of your lines. Your 8-10 is normal. In this video, you are only seeing two because I am using a semi-stowless system which weaves the lines in a figure8 and uses only 2 rubber bands. Make sure if you have any questions to ask a Rigger
I’ve read; a LOT of Sky Divers don’t like packing their own Parachutes..! FUCK THAT!!! 😁 THAT’S THE FIRST thing I’m learning, when I learn to do an AFF level 1 jump! I want to KNOW that there’s a parachute in there and it’s been packed properly!! Lol Thanks for the speeded up version! Love what you guys do. Going to learn it too! 👍🏼👌🏼
I personally pack my main parachute for every jump. Different strokes for different folks. Some people like the idea of having a packer at the drop zone pack their parachute because that's their job and thats what they are good at. I personally like the mentality of learning every facet of skydiving and the connection to the equipment you are trusting and relying on is essential. (in my opinion) Im glad you like the video! I plan on making more in the future
I don't know if I like that figure 8 on the rip cords (risk of tangle higher when deployed). 8 to 10 rubber bands just looks safer to me. Grant it I don't parachute and only know what I have seen in other videos.
+bob st The pilot Chute is folded and tucked into the B.O.C. (Bottom of container)The B.O.C. is a elastic pocket designed to keep the PC secure, yet still easily accessible seeing as though this is the first handle you pull in the deployment sequence.
Oh, and where does the second, emergency Chute go? In the same pack? Or in a separate package? And can you have THREE chutes? (ie Two emergency chutes and one main one) Can’t afford to die. Got kids to raise!! Lol
The secondary or 'reserve' parachute is located in the top portion of the rig (backpack)You can see it in my video still packed into the top portion off the rig at around 2:00 in my video... its the colorful part of the rig that stays packed. It is pretty uncommon to have a third, but back in the older days of skydiving, there used to be belly mounted reserve parachutes. I doubt you will find a current AFF program that would allow a beginner to use three, but who knows... anything is possible.
The only time someone jumps with a second reserve is when they are doing intentional cutaways and the FAA requires them to have it. Usually done in malfunction testing or some jumpers shoot a flare gun and burn up their canopy when it has reached its service life limit and can't be used anymore or sold. But a reserve has to be packed by a certified rigger for a reason and they are designed not to malfunction. You might get some line twists, which are no big deal (unless you're spinning), but its usually because you are pulling your reserve in an unstable position. Reserve rides are not very common anyway and if you pay attention to your training they aren't that big of a deal.
as both a pilot and skydiver I dub the' wuffo. This is about 10 minutes of work and shorter than a preflight. If this is "too much work" I wouldn't trust your preflight anyway. Also a completely different experience to just flying a pattern in a 150.
I’m not sure I understand fully… this video is intentionally sped up. I take great pride when it comes to the care of my equipment and the routine rigorous upkeep and inspection of my gear. I can not stress the importance of routine inspection and maintenance not only from the jumper but also the certified rigger.
When packing it is essential that you take the time to verify each and every step of the processes. You and ultimately you are responsible for your safety in the sport

Tony Rodriquez Haha, I was going to say the same thing. This chute is way too easy. I should of listened and bought used.
This is like the last thing you should ever speed run
Hahaha the beauty of time-lapse

How many bungees (rubber bands) did you use to fold the lines? Only 2? I learnt packing last month, I am still practising and we use 8 or 10 of them.

Aint no one got time for that, i just screw mine up and stuff it in the bag.
It'll be fine!!
LOL!!! 😂🤣🤣
I bet you do!!
The best bit about this is the closing sequence=] Those legs hahaha
hey if it works why not.
@@xLopez210x I pack like this now haha
Has mirage approved the bottom routing?

You mean fast forward right
It’s a TimeLapse
I wrong knot and ticket to heaven
Practice makes perfect
Came for the pack job, stayed for the flat eric
Straight up love that song! Can’t get enough of it
what happens to the pc and the small container its in

Thomas Grana: Lovely! Thankyou for to taking the time to reply.
Really looking forward to starting my course too. Just waiting for the Spring!

Как он стропы уложил?
I laid the lies after flaking the canopy and making sure all the A, B, C, and D lines were organized. Is that was you mean?
Nice video!
Chris Foster yea
This is life. It doesnt need speed
way prettier than my packjobs lololol
I do it that fast in real time. Every time
What kind of d-bag is that?
Laramie Payne it’s a UPT semi stowless made to fit my Mirage container
Thomas Grana I’m gonna have to look into one of those for my Mirage.
I'll give you my intruder 360 military equipment and I'll see how fast you are... 😏
Im always down for a challenge... at the very least, Ill learn something new
That's way too much work. I'd rather do touch and goes in a C150 at the local airport for an hour under gusty wind conditions.
daffidavit ...ok

Много лишних движений...
I’ll say its fake.. no one can move that fast
sorry, still dont trust them.
Speed packing is for assholes. This cavalier approach to equipment is precisely why I quit jumping with civilian clubs.
