>>I was watching my buddy pack for a slider up jump, and I noticed he did some things I'd never seen before. As he was stowing his lines, I saw him make a 6" single stow w/ rubber band, and set the stow between the tail pocket and the canopy, where as I was taught to free stow the tail pocket and lay the folded lines in the top of the pocket, and then shingle. I've also heard of jumpers making a stow(s) of slider in a rubber band. How much slider should you grab with this technuiqe and why? What differences do these choices make during deployment? Thanks to anyone willing to answer my barrage of questions
