Sending the parachute to the factory for a repack at least every 5

to have Strong repack it, even with shipping, than the local rigger. It

parachute, where you know how it's been treated it's entire life.

"this time period" refers to the "every 5 years, starting at 20 years"
remark about sending it to the factory.
