Fast Pack Job

Watching the master work as he slaps together a quick packjob

[@WV-mx3dr]

There's things I like done fast.... This would not be one of them.

[@ossebosse3988]

Hahahaha true

[@houseofsharpeis9366]

That’s not that fast. And it’s not that difficult to pack one. 6-10 minutes is the norm. Under 5 and your booking. Also one that big you can stuff in the bag and not worry. One half that size has to be more precisely packed

[@oldmate86]

It shouldn’t matter as long as all the right things are done, which he’s done.

[@WV-mx3dr]

@@oldmate86 the key words there are "shouldn't" and "as long as" lol!

[@Getlosttt]

@@WV-mx3dr key words are “which he’s done”. You probably don’t even jump. If you did, you’d see he did everything right.

[@zebsommers4464]

That pack was pristine. Flaking from outside the the lines is where he made up most of his time. The guy slipping on his own pilot chute in the background was hilarious! (1:19)

[@MrDorf007]

Ya, the guy who slipped had a "parachute malfunction" on the ground. hehehe

[@slowfaller]

MrDorf007 ha he looked at the lense like, ' crap, did you see that?! '

[@AllSawedUp]

It opened like a champ!

[@alexhetherington8028]

[@Vismis]

How much did it cost? for future reference and do they tell you if they've killed anyone lol :P like do people who pack parachutes keep a record of fatalities they might have caused :P

[@dickphukwede1856]

With the possible exception of stowing the brakes (not shown, we can't tell whether he did it or the jumper), the guy skips no steps. Even double-stowing the lines on what are often "loose stows". That is a fast, but very *clean* pack job. Well done, sir! And thanks, AllSawedUp, for posting!

[@eatpastaflyfasta]

He actually skipped a step, a very important one that can damage the canopy.

[@dark1tdr]

[@nautilus444]

Pete has packed for me many times. He really does a great job!

[@dadbod7510]

Same as anything, the more you do it the faster you get. Took my bike to the shop the other day, the guy did in 10 mins what would've taken me an hour. He didn't miss any steps of the packing process, I would jump that. In fact when I've used rental rigs I have no doubt jumped 5 minute pack jobs. As long as my reserve isn't a 5 minute pack I'm happy.

[@VladimirTheLeadHead]

It’s not the missed steps but the missed inconsistencies that are caused from being complacent. If I were packing my own chute like that than absolutely no problem . But if I were a nuby and it was my first time and I watched my chute get packed that fast I’d be nervous as a mother fucker.

[@VladimirTheLeadHead]

That’s kinda what I meant. Being a nuby and watching it get packed like that I would be really nervous.

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

@@VladimirTheLeadHead Just don't talk to him whilst he's packing it. I used to be pretty quick and never had a fail, then we had a guy who would take over half an hour to pack and he got a mal. We laughed.

Pete has also packed for me too, he’s a great dude

[@kakudmi]

A pleasure to watch. Haven't packed or jumped since 2008.

[@markmotter7060]

I remember a Golden Knight coming back to his/our home DZ and showing us pro packing circa 1987? We were blown away at how fast he had that rag in the bag.

[@markmotter7060]

[@t34bravo]

Nicely done! I learned flat packing and that's still what I use. Takes me around 15 min or so but I kind of enjoy it. Helps me zone out and focus on the next jump. Blue skies!

[@Paiadakine]

Also time to check your canopy and lines for damage.

[@sdcofer52]

Always pack my own main. He is fast. Concerned about the line swap.

[@halojumper5105]

you know what as long I can pay for packing I will jump! Awesome! well done! and respect!

[@Shaunreess]

Ill bet he is really good at packing his sleeping bag. o_0

[@scottmccolley9376]

was it a good opening is th right question! I saw a fast pack job once on a Unit. I asked the guy about it and he said - squares always open! Well, it opened but with a lineover. He tried to clear it until way to late and the reserve opened literally on impact. I will take a longer pack any time. The only time I tried to hurry for a jump was 6 months after I had fractured 3 vertebrae in my neck and the opening was AGONY. It did however open... I was jumping a Splatostar (Stratostar) at the time which opened quick no matter what.

[@NNick476]

Nice quick Pack Job. The only think I'd want different is a double stow on the center locking stow and less un-stowed line.

[@TiagoSeiler]

I don't think I've ever seen Pete wearing shoes...

[@BriCangri]

Mitchell Steere until you get a spike in your foot 😂

[@daviddemerly7919]

I dont think they are permitted to for saftey non of them have shoes on , something stuck to a shoe could tear a shute

[@AlexeiRamotar]

The most important part of a good jump.

[@Kagravante]

This guy is the master! Pete is the man. He can definitely pack much faster than this. 2 beaches are better than one

[@atotalmoron]

S fold like a boss!

[@flybeep1661]

I do it exactly the same except I don't use a rubber mat and I always rotate the bag 90° upwards inside the container.

[@kjw7556]

I’ve never jumped out of an airplane ,I like to keep my feet firmly on the ground !! but if I did I’d like this guy to pack my parachute.

When you watch a pack video and realize you've missed a step in packing for your last 8 jumps 😮, but then you remember you havent had any malfunctions. Who cares if the nose is flaked? The storm 210 I pilot apparently doesn't lol.

Yes yes Pete is maybe a good packer and never ever something happend to his beautiful packed bags. ...But i seriously don’t see any way why I would pack that fast when my or someone’s freakn live depends on it.

Actually he does everything he needs to do, just very very fast. Also, a parachute is designed and made to open, so if you don't leave any step it will open. But he does everything he needs to do, as I said

[@takeahike858]

He can pack much faster than that with no worries of error, firsthand knowledge. -10,000 pack jobs plus

[@joebro391]

Was there no reserve? Or did that just not need re-packing from the previous jump? I'm a total noob, just curious. -Joe

The reserve is only used if you have malfunction, the reserve has to be taken out every 6 months and repacked by a rigger.

Lol remember the trash packing brits back in the day. They grabbed the 4 line groups, walked to the top with the slider, shook it a little, wrapped the top around the whole thing and just pushed everything is the bag and closed it with two bungees then put the lines in the container in a figure 8 and closed it up. Never had a malfunction.

You can go into a Military facility and see 50 guys working on tables the same way, but they have four or five check inspections along the way, it holds them up and takes a little more time LOL This guy is good though, interesting to watch. "Do I pay you now"?... "Pay me when it opens"...

[@Morgan4090]

Is this a parachute or a parafoil?

[@yarpos]

+Morgan4090 Its what everyone in skydiving would call a parachute or more commonly just a canopy. If you want to get into pedantry and patents perhaps it could/should be called a parafoil, however in common use it isnt. Using the term Parafoil may be recognised (by old jumpers)as a brand name of a particular early square canopy in the 70s. Was an excellent thing when it opened.

[@3Dos]

Everyone who knows the guy says he's a master at packing. I just wonder how he doesn't get line overs. Because he does not seem to even check the break lines. I assume he knows what he's doing but this part kinda looks strange to me !

He checked them while running line continuity in the first 15 seconds. He isn't saving time by skipping steps.
