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
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
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
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)
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.

Totally agree, Daniel Guerra

Excellent information. Thank you Sir
well done Susy
thank you :-)
What a nice and easy job! my respect for him
Buys container and canopy, watched youtube video on how to pack, yeets off bridge
He touched the canopy as we can gently touch a body girl. OMG I love my rig, I do this process when I'm in my house practicing my pack.

Can I ask how to pack a flag fir deployment
What is the reason for line groups are wide and not tight with the slider? i have seen this just in the packing manuals. Thanks!
I have the same kind of grommet in the pod for the bridle. How do i prevent the fabric from going through this grommet as im bagging the canopy?
part 2 ?

Hi Michael, I will re-check with Colin and let you know! Yes there was a reason but I ask him better to explain it :D

Easy with a tiny canopy

song?
Music: Bach Suit 3 (Air), Bach Suite for Cello and Chopin Nocturne F-Minor. I add it also above in the description.
Susy Lee Skydiving feels more civilized now!
Breaks? Brakes? Subtle difference😆😆
that old dude is more flexible than me..and i'm in my 30s.
"Position the slider in a comfortable position"??? I guess the soft violin music was putting me to sleep. This was soooooo dull. Sad.
