Does anyone know of a good flat packing video on-line? I am learning how to flat pack and am almost ready to be checked off. It would be nice to have something at home to watch before I go to the drop zone to refresh me before I put hands on.
Probably not online, but "Packing Made Simple" is an instructional video that demonstrates various methods of packing your main canopy (including flat packing).
Believe it or not,.there are plenty of people that still flat pack simply because theres nothing wrong with flat packing,,it works and causes no harm.......

Sure, some people still jump accuracy canopies and nothing wrong with that.

Our DZ requires the packers to flat pack. It's what they teach in packing courses too. It's much easier for us beginners to learn. Unlike some PROs out there.

It does not really matter for a beginner. They need 4-10 pack jobs before they learn what to do and stop only for the inspections, check points.
If you send me a private Email I have one I will send to you or I could upload it to a web address since its a big file. I took it in 1983 but nothing has changed. Even though I was one of 3 people who did initial pro pack testing in 1977 and it took a few years to catch on, I do flat pack if there is room enough to do so. I hate to hog the space if the packing area is full as I have a bad shoulder and the extra arm movement required during the pro pack hurts me.
