|
|
I have some rather old webbing that has been stored dry in a box for many, many years. We're talking 25+.
Its original purpose was as a harness for me when I was a poor college student.
I'd like to use it for natural anchors or as an emergency harness. Is it safe to do so? It looks a little dingy, but so would you if you sat in a box for 25 years. |

| Toss it. Recommended shelf life of 5 years. Webbing is cheap, life is not. |
