I've been packing reserves in my house, where there is almost no humidity in the air, and with every pack job I'm constantly battling lots of bulk. I've been trying to tweak my methods to keep things neater & tighter but to no real avail. I was contemplating buying a humidifier to use in my packing room and wanted to see if anyone else has tried this, thoughts, negatives/pros, etc.?

Any tips n' tricks would also be appreciated!



A lil background: I've only got 40 pack jobs under my belt so I'm sure as time progresses I'll increase in the craft. Learned from Dave Dewolf's course.

Much obliged.

Are PD Reserve Slinks reusable? Or must they be replaced if you change out reserve canopies?

It's the weekend & Wings is closed - at 3pm on friday - ARGH!!

Anyone have an Optimum in the Wing W10 Container? If so what size?

I'm trying to determine what the largest/smallest Optimums I can correctly put in.

Thanks for that link. Much obliged.

Personally, if you having it custom built to your specs the foam isn't really necessary. THAT MY OPINION. Space foam would aid you if your rigger or yourself packed bulgy on your back.. I say save the 200 bucks.

Why Wings doesn't post a container size chart etc. ? --- I don't know.

I noticed a lot of the folks who have responded thus far are D licensed. Personally - I'm only 70 jumps into this - but I have no quarrel with AAD's raising their firing altitude. In my mind I'm already testing the gods with each jump and with that train of thought deploy at 3,000ft - Religiously. The closest I've come to the 1,250ft mark happened due to a snivel that lasted longer than any other I've experienced and even then I about 1,500-600 feet. Like Booth said at PIA 2011 - I sweet bullets after 3,000ft. And at my level of expertise I'd much rather have to combat a two out than pray for no delay with my AAD.

Thats pretty cheap!

Read about it Parachutist recently... does anyone know if it is available in the USA yet?

1st post! yey me!

I'm wondering if anyone knows how a Precision Aerodynamics Fusion 175 fits in a Mirage G4 M4. From the way Mirage writes their sizing charts I'm assuming it'd be optimal but I wanted to seek some first hand opinions on it prior to me make the financial plunge.

Any input on how the Fusion packs would be appreciated and welcomed!

Thanks in Advance!
