udder 0 #1 March 25, 2007 Anyone starting with a Wolmari pack and then rolling it up psycho pack style? Well sort of like a psycho pack but without the 180 degree flip... So like a regular pro pack, flop it out on the floor, fold either corner over the top, then roll without flipping over."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker."

BIGUN 1,075 #2 March 25, 2007 I'm not thoroughly convinced the W method does any more to prevent a line-over than a good clean Pro-Pack - so no.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
udder 0 #3 March 25, 2007 Any reason why rolling up a wolmari might be black death?"In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,075 #4 March 26, 2007 No more so than any other pack job - but I'd really encourage you to discuss this with your local riggers/Instructors.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
udder 0 #5 March 26, 2007 I will, but there is alot of packing voodoo. Its like fierce tribalism with everyone defending their packing method. I just tried it out last night and it seems to maintain tension on the lines and tension on the tails folds better, hence holding my slider in place better while making it easier to bag. How it will open I have no idea."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koppel 3 #6 March 26, 2007 QuoteHow it will open I have no idea one way to find out.......HOWEVER are you really the person to be a test jumper? Not suggesting you should or shouldnt do it. I would suggest that you take it out and show someone (Instructor/rigger etc) what you have done and get their opinion. If they think its ok to jump then go do it and enjoy the butterflies you will probably have when you throw your PC I like my canopy... ...it lets me down.

So what have you tried? Anyway. Wolmari pack does not include rolling. It has just a small differenc from ProPack: "ears" are folded over and not under. Wolmari pack with reserve S bagging can make your life easier. Do it like this! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timbarrett 0 #8 March 26, 2007 i find that laying the pack-job down, squeezing the air out and cocooning it either as for the reverse-S fold or Wolmari-pack BEFORE flipping it over and rolling it up to bag it psycho style is the best of both worlds...more control with the laying down and coccooning and then easier folding/bagging as per psycho-pack... mind you this was shown to me because i was so useless at everything else..."Work hard, play hard and don't whinge" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

udder 0 #10 March 26, 2007 Squeak is right. Beer cans are very heavy. And I can lift them. Reason I ask is it just seems a cleaner way to bag(psycho pack) and maintain tension on the slider to keep it up against the stops. And those supporting the wolmari pack say it noticable reduces the risk of a lineover. And I had alot of free time last night. Regarding psycho packing, is it flipped over for any reason other than to keep the keep the tail area neat and clean? ps. my new used rig is here! and is very sexy."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother.

udder 0 #12 March 26, 2007 well try rolling it up without flipping it over... The tail comes apart and it look very sloppy...(strangely similar to my usual oned"In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixlpr 0 #13 March 26, 2007 Why do you need rolling? If you have a good wrap and you keep it, not letting it undone, you got a clean packjob and with using reverse S you can put it easily in. Check my link with pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #14 March 26, 2007 I tried the Wolmari pack for a short time. It didn't seem to help my hard openings so I went back to a pro-pack. I now Psycho pack everything, and really like it. As far as combining the two methods into one, I don't really know much about that. Let us know how it turns out.....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

everymansaved 0 #16 March 27, 2007 I tried that for a bit. It gave me wonky, line twisty type openings. So I just went back to PRO.God made firefighters so paramedics would have heroes...and someone can put out the trailer fires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #17 March 27, 2007 I'd rather use different nose/slider placement. ...................................................... I tried that too, but it wasn't helping much either. A big part of the problem was that I was trying to stuff too large of a NEW canopy into a bag that was one size too small, thus messing things up in the process. I went to the Psycho pack, and just loved it. My openinings have been soft and mostly on heading ever since.....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
