Keep the line in its original container or, preferably, in an

airtight
bag, keep it away from solvents, excessive heat,

light.....especially
sunlight....and continental subduction zones. It should keep for

many
years.

The matter of tippet material is somewhat more controversial.

With
its thin diameter and relatively high surface area to mass ration,

it
doesn't take nearly as long for oxidation or evaporation to do
significant damage. That said, I've successfully used stuff

that's
been around for a few years as long as it was stored with the

above
criteria in mind.


In other words, no.


Our hero, keen senses ablaze, detects a thread in imminent danger of
remaining informative and uncontroversial. True to his nature and
faithful to the expectations of his adoring fans, he throws caution to
the winds and assumes unto himself the awesome responsibility for
forestalling such an unconscionable and otherwise surely inevitable
disaster.

In other words, good God you are stupid.
