sid 1 #1 January 16, 2004 Quite a few people asked me to make the packing course section of Sid's Rigging more visible (it was getting lost in there) so I made a whole new site www.packingparachutes.com and I want it to grow through contributions. There is a section of the site dedicated to collecting techniques and tips which I will add as the site grows.Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

GravityGirl 0 #2 January 16, 2004 Maybe you could list your qualifications on the web site. That would be helpful. Also consider one of the two quotes: "This Ain't Brain Surgery People" "This Ain't Rocket Science People" Instead of: "This Ain't Rocket Surgery People" Just a thought. Very usefull site. I'm sure I'll send referralls... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I'll send referralls... I'll put my qualifications under the contact section - that's a good idea. The quote though is a joke - I stole it from a tv ad for Eggo waffles, it's just meant to be a humorous way to let people know that packing is only as hard as you make it.....

Yes, but what about the feelings of all those poor rocket surgeons out there?!? They're a truly neglected group, ya know...

brewman 0 #7 January 17, 2004 Sid, I'm no expert, I have about 25 pack jobs under my belt, but shouldn't you touch on un-collapsing the slider? My rigger told me the first 3 things to do were, set the brakes, uncollapse the slider, and cock the pilot chute. Thanks for the site, I saw a couple of new techniques to try on my next pack job. I'm still wrestling with my new ZP 190 canopy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still wrestling with my new ZP 190 canopy! Well, I cover quartering it and it CAN be seen uncollapsed, but you're probably right, I'll look where to put that in when I update the site Thanks for the inputPete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

GravityGirl 0 #9 January 17, 2004 Sid, I just re-read my post and I sounded kinda negative. It really is awesome, and I figured you knew that all ready. But if you didn't.... it rocks! I just brought up what popped into my head when I pulled up the first page. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
