mazevedo 0 #1 September 9, 2003 I allways repack on time but talking with some guys, I noticed that plenty of them do not repack with 120 days. They usually wait until 180 or even more. Blue skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #2 September 9, 2003 Certian countries have longer repacks then the 120 days that thte United States have.

jumper03 0 #5 September 9, 2003 We don't have a choice. The DZ keeps a record of our repack dates. When the 120 days are up, you either get it repacked or you can't manifest unless you rent a rig. Every visiting jumper's gear is checked as well. Needless to say, I feel very safe and satisfied with my home DZ.

riggerrob 561 #6 September 9, 2003 In Canada, the reserve repack cycle is 180 days. Considering that most Canadian DZs are only open 5 or 6 months out of the year, we are doing well if Canadian skydivers get their reserves repacked once a year.

TheBachelor 5 #7 September 12, 2003 I used to stretch the 120 days by a week or two, but now that they have a computer at manifest, I don't want to risk it. It's too long of a drive to the DZ.There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
