I've noticed he keeps the lines at the slider apart, while I've seen other people pack with lines tightly together and the fabric twisted around to keep them tight. Since this is an 8y old vide, I was wondering if this is an old method of packing and it changed now, or are these 2 different methods? (Obviously not a skydiver, so I hope my descriptive language was good enough to understand m question :p)
the most soothing packing video I've seen so far, I love watching pack job videos and re-watch some of them from time to time, this will be one of them
I work w skydiving for quite 35 years. During a period of my career I have worked in Empuria and met Colin. He is one of the best professionals I had the honor to learn with 🙏 Daniel Guerra
Take the time if you can to learn from this man. He kept me alive for many years and especially during my early years in jumping when I was dumb and thought I knew everything. I have seen many riggers but this man is the best. The reason is his attention to detail and also always keeping up with new technology, techniques and equipment. I have very much to thank him for
in the process of getting my first rig ,I love all your videos .I think with your lovely vids I will not have a problem packing my own chute . austin texas loves you Thanks for all the knowledge you give so freely
You made special mention of what side the control line is routed when stowing the brakes. I've always routed to the outside b/c they run to the outside of the canopy. Is there a reason you route to the inside?
Hi Michael, sorry for the long waiting time, I totally forgot to answer you. So basically we will cover this topic in detail in our upcoming mini series. However, I try to answer it shortly: it's mainly about that we want to have the control lines inside so that the ends of it get stowed on the outside. And this is for the reason that when everything gets stowed in the container, that the remaining part (end) of lines are hidden as deep in the container (side, bottom) as possible so that they cannot be exposed to the outside part of the container during freefall.
