The repair lasts forever (or at least until the rest of the bag has fallen apart). I always keep a spool of this fishing line, some fishing hooks and a needle in a side-pocket of my back-pack when I go trekking. Besides emergency repairs to bags or tents it also comes in very handy if I need to tie something together (like set a snare) or to improvise a fishing rod. | |
