" Hi there! Jeff Thomson here with Thomson Hot Air Balloon Rides and Expert Village.

Since we have time during the inflation of the balloon to check all of our rigging and wires and cables and controls there is no particular way that we throw this thing in a bag, we literally just pick the balloon up and stuff it in a bag. At the end of putting the balloon into the bag then we have this real complex procedure for getting the rest of the air out of the balloon bag so that we can pack it away and that is basically what we do in this next scene have a look."
