“Chute Powder” was popular in 70s when I was flying. (Baby and talcum powder cheaper). Not only did it help with chute deployment, with high altitude’s, you had a nice puff of💨 to help locate your kit in the sky. (Lost too many of them) 😉

In the video: Not a single example on how to fold a parachute.
Only a bunch of "useless" background information about parachutes.

Do a search for some older Centuri or Estes kits like the Saturn Vs which I think had 24” chutes. The instructions should show you how they recommend folding that size.
This is pretty similar to what I recall doing. ruclips.net/video/YWxmotv9kIU/видео.html. And I used “snap swivels” (like for fishing) to help avoid tangled lines from chutes spinning.
