riggerrob 643 #26 June 7, 2011 The manual for Strong's SET 400 recommends double-wrapping all the MIL SPEC rubber bands to prevent line dump. That works great with 1,000 pound Spectra suspension lines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, what the hell did you do to your canopy that caused it to split in half? Don't do that either.

aeroflyer 0 #30 June 12, 2011 Regarding original poster's question about malfunctions: I was taught when pro packing that after you get the bundle on the ground, you fold the sides underneath to get it to the width of the bag. This however, obviously is putting more material / lines in front of the nose. Does anyone fold over the top once it's on the ground instead of underneath? edit: just read about the Wolmari pack.. that seems to be pretty much what I was thinking. Anyone have success / problems reported with this variation? I still don't know what the right answer is about double wrapping locking stows.. when mine are really loose I might double wrap, but I've been trying to avoid it. If you find the right size rubber band you don't have to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
