if i was you i would just wait for the new "pack like a pimp" video to come out. it should be ready to mail out in the next month or two. it wont be free, but the amount of money you will save by not having to buy 30 clamps and 15 bungees it will pay off in the long run.

Peace Clayton

Re: [Kiki32] Looking for a base packing instructional video
i would love this vid also. is it online somewhere?
Shortcut
Re: [cowsuit] Looking for a base packing instructional video
toms vid is really good. i learned from it and found it very easy to understand. you dont have to use as many clamps or bungies as he does but it does make a neat pack job while learning easier. i basically do this exact pack job but just use 4 clamps.

Hahahaha! You asshat! I just had very hot Seattles Best coffee come out of my nose!

Seriously, does anyone really pack like that? That had to be a spoof or someone messing with all the visitors to the bridge?!?!?! That can't be a regular everyday packjob, is it?

That's totally not fair.

Everybody knows you're supposed to use pull-up cords on the lines, not clamps. Smile

All those packing tools and your cocoon still looks like shit Wink

Re: [Flyingmike] Looking for a base packing instructional video
yea it was a joke. while tom was putting a guy off rich w. decided to tweak his pack job to meet his standards.

he took it quite well.

however i do believe that all the clamps and bungies were his.

Re: [dantana] Looking for a base packing instructional video

Shortcut
Re: [dantana] Looking for a base packing instructional video

For when you have to pack in a tornado since there will be good winds after...or you want a really sick tailwind for boss tracking

Re: [avenfoto] Looking for a base packing instructional video
Electrical tape is nice to use on the lines during packing, just lay the tape with the glue facing outwards so the tape just glues onto itselvs.
It wil fall off if you forget to take it off.

Re: [SirHoytalot] Looking for a base packing instructional video
Holy crap, all that thing needs is a cheap fiberglass spoiler, a neon light kit and some hubcap spinners!
