About packing the glider in strong wind. I grab the middle cells and walk up to the wind then sit down with the wind in my back and collecting all the cells, then I put a strap around the pack of cells and start folding up the rest like a normal cell packing. If the wind is so strong that the pack of cells blows away you can put your harness on top of it.
It feels great to manage time during weekdays, practice paragliding and go to work. It is around two weeks to rainy season and I am only doing ground handling/ kiting with my glider. The wind is strong and balancing the glider is a challenging task. Still I am not able to balance my glider over a minute !!!
In strong winds, I am finding it difficult to repack my glider in orderly manner. (especially when I am practicing alone).
Is there a way to repack glider (after flying) in orderly manner in strong winds or should I randomly fold it and repack it(this surely would damage my glider, I believe!!) ?

Stuff sack.
Once you have used it you will never go back to packing your glider away.
