Lay the parachute out flat. Gather the shroud lines as best you can. Inspect the canopy for damage and the shroud lines for tangles.
Step 2:
Fold the parachute in so the shroud lines converge at a single point. If there are four shroud lines fold in quarters, if three, thirds.
Step 3:
Fold the parachute so that the shroud lines are on one edge. This step may be unecessary depending on the number of shroud lines and gores.
Step 4:
Add a ''z-fold." This trifold packs the parachute tightly while also reducing the distance any given piece of the parachute has to travel to unfurl.
Step 5:
Fold the parachute perpendicular to the z-fold.
Step 6:
Snake the shroud lines beside the parachute. Do not wrap the parachute in the shroud lines.
Step 7:
Place the parachute in the nomex blanket. Ensure the nomex blanket is properly secured and cannot reef the parachute.
Step 8:
Fold the nomex into a "burrito" around the parachute.
Step 9:
Serve with guacamole and a rocket. For best results deploy above the ground.
