The CRUX is a BASE harness / container system with integrated risers. It is imperative that you take 

the time to learn the proper assembly, packing, and closing procedures before you use this system. 

If you are unsure of any aspect of the assembly or use of this system, stop use immediately and 

seek professional instruction. We recommend that you assemble and pack this container system 

under the guidance / instruction of a qualified BASE instructor or parachute rigger.

Your CRUX is shipped with two sets of closing loops. YOU MUST 

ADJUST THE CLOSING LOOP LENGTH TO YOUR PARACHUTE 

PACK VOLUME AND PACKING STYLE. 

Install the shorter closing loop into the bottom flap of your 

container, and the top (longer) loop into the floor-plate inside the 

container. Use the washers provided. Place the smooth side of 

the washer facing the knot, to minimize wear on loop. Washers 

must be placed between the grommet and the knot to function 

correctly.

THE SYSTEM

CLOSING LOOPS

Common techniques used to pack other 2-pin container systems, which use a floor-plate closing 

method for the top pin, will work for the CRUX as well. Please keep these points in mind: 

If the pack-job appears messy and disorganized, consider redoing it with improved technique. 

Your CRUX must be packed cleanly in order to function properly. If you are unsure, do not jump it. 

Contact Squirrel immediately with questions or concerns. 

PACKING TIPS

1. 

We recommend placing your pull-up cord through the top closing loop before starting to 

put your canopy in the container (easier to access, once the parachute is covering the loop). 

2. 

You can place the tailpocket in the packing tray regular or inverse, high or low. However, 

the placement shown here has proven to work well with this container. 

3. 

The first fold should be just above the top closing loop. Leaving some empty space at the top 

of the container will help to keep the top section low-profile and wrinkle-free. 

4. 

The second fold should be at the bottom of the container. Leave the parachute bridle 

attachment point exposed so the bridle route is clean. 

5. 

When your CRUX is closed, the main pin cover flap should be cleanly seated. Check your 

placement of the packjob volume. It should be dispersed evenly from corner to corner and 

match the shape of the container. If too much volume is directly under or around the top pin, 

the main pin cover flap may not seat properly. Your canopy should be folded into a flat and 

rectangular configuration matching the container.
