Hi, everyone !

Could you help me understand the meaning of to rig a sling for someone
The situation is as follows:
Quote:
A man's arm appears to be broken. His mate offers him his help: --How's your arm? I can rig a sling for you. To which the first man repllies: --No, It'll keep

Also, does it'll keep suggest I dont need your help right now, it'll be OK for a while ?
Thank you !

.
1-- Take a large square of cloth; fold it diagonally, so that it is now triangular in shape; place the widest portion beneath the injured arm; tie the two narrow corners around the victim's neck, so that the arm is supported horizontally in front of the body.

2-- You have 'it'll keep' correctly defined.
