How long...Packing?

[reactor 1]

I timed my packing when I was doing AFF, I could pack a old 210 in 8min, some student could even pack with in 5 min, and, we jump our own pack job, from 1st AFF.
How good, how safe, how fast are all depend on how many time you practice.
I just spent whole day today in dropzone to practice packing my crispy new canopy.

Usually just about the time it takes me to get all sweaty like i just went 2 rounds against Tyson!

Wait , I pull what first?

8 mins to 15 mins depending if there is an open slot on a load that i want to get on. I am currently jumping a triathlon135 1:1 wingloading

20-25 min is normal for me. 15 would be really fast. It probably takes me 5 minutes just to set the brakes, stow the excess line, uncollapse the slider and untwist the PC bridle. 210 Ft^2

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

It takes me 5-10 mins to pack. I propack my Pulse 150. I used to have a lot of gear fear when I started packing and the two cutaways early on didn't help either. So I devoted myself to learning to pack by becoming a packer. Now I've got the muscle memory to do the rest.

Crossfire 2 129: Between 5mins when in a real hurry to ~8 to 10 mins with more care. Last jump of the day with this rig takes a little longer (inspection for wear & tear etc)
Tandem (EZ 384) - 15 to 20 mins, side pack. Tandem is taking responsibility for 2 people's lives so I pack very carefully. Have learned some shortcuts that don't tamper with safety already, but don't think it will be much faster than 13-15 mins on an average base. Last packjob of the day is much longer, checking wear & tear, especially drogue and bridle, attaching new spare rubber bands etc.

Takes me about 20-30min and I come out of it sweating like crazy.

I can flake and get the canopy on the ground pretty quick, but getting all the air out, cocooned nicely, and then in the damn bag/container takes a while.

I recently discovered psycho packing. Faster, neater, and my bag stuffing time dropped from 15 minutes (with it mostly a randomly wadded mess jammed inside) to 2 minutes (neatly rolled and very little sweating). Nicer openings, too.

Sweating most of all seems to be mother nature's gift
I also sweat very easily and thus I happily pack at 20 °C (68 °F) but earn comments like "Woah, you're thawing?" at 25+ °C (77 °F); always got to take care I don't soak the fabric with those salty drips
Could never get used to permanently live in warm and damp areas such as Mississippi or Louisiana or Malaysia...

Spectre 120 about 5-6 minutes.

Pilot 150 - about 10 mins under normal packing, 6-7 mins when rushing.

Like someone else mentioned. I don't bother flaking any more either. Just make sure nothing looks out of place, all the stabilisers are clear, give it a good shake then start wrapping it up. Had 1 hard opening in the last several hundred.

Check my kit at the start of each jumping day, and after the last jump of the day. Usually.

Just being curious - this includes tandem canopies?

A tip for any new skydiver (such as myself) who wants to pack well and time-efficiently...learn to pack tandems with a Sigma 370 and get it into a damn MicroSigma D-bag. You'll laugh on your first few sports packs.

[stayhigh 2]

tandem takes me forever, 5 min to get the d-bag into the main tray, than 4 min to close and cock the drogue and pack the drogue.

Just don't take so long that your packer volunteers to pack for you and then you fall asleep watching and she falls asleep packing.

If I'm in a rush, about 5 minutes. If I'm not, then add a couple of minutes. I pack fast, but I always pack it well.

[skydiverek 54]

2 minutes and 28 seconds

This is not me !

[stayhigh 2]

that is very sloppy for 3 min pack job.

I can make it very neat on a velocity 103 with all the stowes done at 4 min.

any packer can and should be able to shove 170 sized canopy just like that under 3 min.

Fastest Strong tandem was 6 1/2 min for me.

I could consistently do 7-8 min packs on Strongs, well...because I had to. 2 pack jobs per PAC 750 load from 1pm until 8 pm. Big $$$$$
