I learned skydiving in the military and in the beginning we were folding the canopy laying down like he did. not nearly as precice but it works. it just takes longer to fold.

@ Maddingo. I have packed various styles of BASE pilot pack styles into my sport rig and all have worked, not to say they are the best for sport jumping. I think that you need to talk to a rigger, some TIs, and other experienced sport jumpers and actually see what they are doing. Ask and chat on the topic of things like "monkey fists" , the way the pilot would/wouldn't come out in the event of a "horse shoe malfunction", and the likely hood of a tangle or knot in the bridle. (chances of tangles can, in theory, be reduced by stacking the bridle in progressively smaller folds while stacking upward which is not done in this video, base jumpers often use longer bridles and larger pilot chutes, which causes attention to focus on those items also) I have a friend who tossed a pilot chute that went into a knot of floating bridle that actually cinched the pilot chute shut. Be safe and use the knowledge/mistakes of those before you to your advantage. This is just a short answer and there is more to all of it if you break it down enough. Spend time at drop zones, ask for opinions, and interact with other jumpers who do things differently. (there may be a reason) Good body position and a nice throw can prevent alot from going wrong. : )

I always pack the PC like that, any rig, any handle, always works.

@@cbfreefall 👍👍👍😘

You might find it hard to pack the PC this way in a skydive rig without having the zp slip out and your hacky start flopping around possibly leading to a premature deployment. Base rigs have super tight BoC and no handle on the PC that would add extra drag and weight that pulls on the zp...

There's no reserve in BASE.

This can literally be done in 6 minutes or less

yes :)

Do you even read the titles ??

No why would they use a parachute?

Your rigger probably does when they pack your reserve. But for a main canopy, it doesn't matter if it's perfectly packed since you're not relying on it to save your life.

it is simply not necessary.

Then do it.

Two main reasons: 1) the tailgate's job is performed by the Slider and 2) there have been reports of entanglements by the tailgate with the mesh of big hole sliders.

No, no it is not. You can literally do this in 6 minutes or less

How many BASE jumps do you have VooDoo? (PS: are you still hauling meat in Mexico?)

@@Sky-Frogs I currently have 623 base jumps. But I have 4571 skydives, so yeah, I've packed a few parachutes. I'm still hauling meat... in, and out of El Chopra.
