yes,was a big tree,spent about 3-4 days doing it,had to remove all the wood to -
would like to thank Marc, he mentioned on a thread about helmets, that the vertex chin strap and head harness assemble can be removed and put in the washer. Mine was getting real stinky, I had tried wiping it but it was no better. After reading Marc's tip I took mine off the hat, my lass washed it and today I enjoyed a STINK free day for the first time in months. Did that just the other day,and never thought about taking it out and washing it, and now it nice and clean and shiny.

One of the boys at work has just had this AP spliced,Im no expert but im not sure it correct?? The whipping inparticular can be seperated with a finger nail. The splice in question is the one with the black whipping and the other to compare it with is done by drewb, What are your thoughts on this?still ok to use?

Rings get stuck to much compared to a large eye,also it a ring needs to be llarger than the large ring off a standard cam saver.and slings r cheap as
