Testing, and repacking my own reserve

[Primal Flight]

I tested out my reserve, to see how much distance it needs to open. Not the most scientific, but still usefull data.


One of the commenters suggested I re-pack it myself, so here I go. I plan on doing more tests after each re-pack, and when I am confident with it, then I may fly with it (or sell it, since I have another newer one)

Step 1, airing it out.

Step 3, folding it up

Here are my results....I ran out of rubber bands, and it certainly doesn't look right. I will probably test it like this and compare it to the above video.
