  9. get a little grease smear it on the earmuff then using a brush paint carbon out of an exhaust onto the greased part then when it is worn it leaves some massive black rings around the ears works on headbands too as does fiery jack
  10. i might try that one or i might sue them for getting a cold as they ought to get me a heater for when im up a tree

  15. yes it was iphone pics the owner of the portawrap was adamant that the bent bit was how it came and he had never abused or driven over it ect and so i just wondered what you boys and dean thought about it so did it pass it,s loler what do you think boys and dean

  17. i have a guy in a couple of weeks that only speaks polish so could you do me a polish version please
  18. has this portawrap been damaged or should it be bent like this if it has been damaged any ideas as to what could have caused it
  19. i have both nptc and irata and i would have said viaduct work could fall into both your nptc does not train or assess on any anchor that is not a tree and does not look at working and going sideways on solid structures i would have said depends on anchor and what the job entails if its removing trees then nptc could be ok IRATA is only rope access it does not train or cover what you do when you get there the training course for both is the same length and i would say the assessment is comparible
