Repacking a deployed avy pack ?

[blizzard]

I looked for a post on repacking an "BCA" float 18 air bag and did not see one . Is there any special way to put the air bag back in or do you just stuff it in and make it fit ? We have 4 of them and one cylindar was low on air and never needing to deploy one ( thank God) , we deployed it so that we knew what to expect - now , how do we put it back in ? Thank you.

Lots of videos on the web... and I'm pretty sure they have one on BCA's web page. Don't roll the bag up at all... You have to have all of the air out for it to fit.... and even then its a tight fit. It should tell you how in the little book that comes with them.

I repacked my Float 30 this fall after a test deployment...it's kind of a bitch to do.

I followed this video...
