  1. #1 pin rig question

    I just got my first base rig. My previous 29 jumps were done on borrowed velcro rigs.
    I got a Vertigo Warlock pin container, and a Dagger 266 (container sized for the canopy). It seems the pins are quite loose even with the closing loops as short as possible, and I thought while climbing this could quickly cause a problem. Anyone ever have a problem with modern two-pin rigs? I am sure if I am wearing it, it will tighten up. Also, I repacked it filling the bottom more and that helped.
    Hope the dagger doesn't blow up, hear that's going around (stabilizers).
    Any responses regarding container security (with regards to premature opening) are appreciated.

    I watched someone pack a similar set up not to long ago. The way that he was s folding the canopy into the container was very different from what I have seen. Maybe it will work for you. once the canopy is laying in the container make your first fold somewhere near the middle of the container then your next fold from the bottom. then you will have quite a bit of material stacked twards the bottom and not much at the top this may help fill out the container more appropriately. This person also works at vertigo. If you call them I am sure they will help.
