the good news is, my 10 week wait on my new canopy is almost over, but the bad news is it'll be another 3 months before the season starts and i can actually jump it. lotsa time to practice packing it i guess.

Ohhhh...what did you order??
And you guys in Moncton must be wimps...the guys here have been jumping all winter(when ever the skies are clear)...I even got a jump in last sat
If you do like to flat pack, a version of it that is often called stack packing can be done that keeps the nose pointed straight ahead and splits the tail, just like how reserves can be packed. I'll describe more if interested. I think my stack packing method is easier for large canopies compared to pro packing.
