"Folding" the parachute to skydive, more commonly referred to as packing, is a skill that all student skydivers need to learn before gaining their first license. To learn to pack a skydiving parachute, seek a licensed skydiver or an experience packer for demonstration and a helper during the learning process. There are videos available to aid the learning process, such as Packing Made Simple. If learning through a video, always seek a licensed instructor, certified rigger, or instructor to ensure the parachute has been packed correctly before use.
