FallinWoman 1 #1 August 27, 2001 Ok, maybe I am just being stupid, but...I got home with my brand spankin' new rig and went to inspect the card that show the reserve pack date.One of two things is true.1. I don't know where to find said card on my Mirage2. There isn't one. Am I supposed to fill out the card? Is my rigger??I am feeling really stupid!!

PhreeZone 15 #2 August 27, 2001 Your rigger need to fill out their info when they repack the reserve. The card holder should be in a little pouch on the backside of lift web, little below 3-rings. If its a new rig then the card might still be in the owners packet.Do I HAVE to do another raft dive??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites wildblue 4 #3 August 27, 2001 Don't feel stupid, I thought the same thing when I got my new Mirage.. I was too used to it being under the reserve flap.Make sure when you put it back in, you put it back, and then get that black flap (with serial # and stuff) back over top of the card so it doesn't have a chance to accidently fall outThen, I saw these two guys swoopin across the pond, and I was like 'weeeeeee!!!!' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites FallinWoman 1 #4 August 27, 2001 Ok, I found it....I, too, was looking under the reserve flap.My owners manual didn't even help. Seems basic enough that it ought to be in there!!!Thank you!

I am beginning to suspect that it is all a capitalist plot to drive parachutists insane. ... don't know about you, but I am rapidly loosing touch with reality!

I did notice on Vector 3's its on the Main lift web...... Strange things....Do I HAVE to do another raft dive???
