  1. When travelling with your gear, always make sure it has been freshly repacked, or be ready for a new repack on arrival. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  2. you are right, most are up to 1 year, but not all. Plus the list is not up to date and contains imprecisions. And some people do interpret the rules and guidelines as they want to read them... Like some people STATING that for example their JAvelin+PD reserve has a 1 year packjob validity, even if it has been packed in the US by a FAA certificated rigger. The way I interpret it is that a FAA rigger's packjob, packed in the US, on that kind of gear, is (for the moment) valid 180days. Reason for which in Switzerland I pack under my Swiss rigger license, which gives me mostly 1year packjobs scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  9. most welcome. We have pretty nice sceneries in Switzerland. Gruyères is one of the VERY BEAUTIFUL ones.
