base flat packing
Hello
I was wondering iof there is an online photo step by step for flat packing a base canopy. I am taking a packing class but forgot what to do with the tail. My instructor left for the week end and I have his stuff lying in a trash bag. I would like to be able to get the canopy in the container so that it's in a relatively presentable state.

Thank you
ps By what to do with the tail I mean how should I flake it before storing the lines and such

I usually just fold the canopy into the container any way it will fit. Then I fold the lines into the back left pocket of my jeans, and fold the bridle into the back right pocket. If I want to make sure the tail end opens last, I twist those lines around a few extra times and stuff them right down to the bottom of my pocket.

This is how my mentor and sweetie John A. taught me, and it works great! I love you darling!

The link on Asylumbase isn't working but the same manual is on the Consolidated rigging site.

Hope this helps.
