Plain-language guides for skydivers.
Short orientation reads on the parts of the sport that catch new jumpers out — gear, repack cycles, packing. They explain the shape of things; they are not a substitute for your instructors, your rigger, or your federation.
Reserve repacks and the repack cycle
Your reserve parachute has to be inspected and repacked on a fixed cycle, whether or not you've ever used it. Here's why the cycle exists and how to stay ahead of it.
Looking after your skydiving gear
A rig is a serious investment and a piece of life-safety equipment. A little routine care keeps it airworthy, keeps its value, and keeps you legal to jump.
Packing basics: mains, reserves, and who packs what
Two parachutes, two very different rules about who is allowed to pack them. Here's the distinction every new jumper needs to understand.
