By folding each panel to the left side of the suspension lines again
one by one, check carefully that each panel is laid evenly and without
creases. Check the main seams and inside the panels as well.
Make sure that all the skirts are even and all the loops lie in the same
direction.

Fold the canopy in an accordion or "Z" shaped folds, so that it fits into
the inner deployment bag. If possible, adjust the folds so that those
at skirt level are slightly shorter and those at the top of the canopy are
slightly longer. The CIRES rescue fits well if there are 4 folds.

7.12 STOWING THE LINES
Start to stow the suspension lines making sure to keep equal tension
on all lines. Layout the upper suspension lines between the canopy
and the inner bag, then close the two flaps, numbers 1 and 2 by
making a 3 cm loop with the bunched lines, pushing it through the
elasticated retainer pod loop.
