Pac Kev new ones are much of a muchness once you've got ear muffs on them, as far as I can tell, maybe slightly heavier. If I strip my road rescue one down to just ear muffs, I'll weigh them both, Petzl and PacKev

The fire service here have switched to pacific kevlar helmets for Bushfire gear, also we use them in our road crash rescue unit, they are not just for tree climbing. Nice helmets

He even said he almost didn't wear his helmet, just ear pro and glasses! He knows he would have been dead if he didn't have it on. Props on him for posting it, young fella posting a video probably sinks in more as an example for his demographic.

He's a lucky boy!

Ah ok, I thought it was something special to us! Must be the proximity to America... And yeah, the day someone tells me I can't use a specific gender descriptor...they can...well let's just say I might lose my Irish on them.

It's a Bermudianism...when you are done with something you say...'that's all she wrote', even if you are guy, and you aren't talking about something you actually wrote... Like you boys fixing your trucks...when the last spanner goes back in the toolbox, you can take a step back, look with...

blood was everywhere, I twisted the cuff of my shirt over it first, jammed the twist against the tree then went for the pouch on my belt, slapped a large dressing on it to slow things down,whizzed down then got a compression dressing on over the lot. I consider long sleeves a form of PPE too

Medicare :)

Yeah, thank goodness for the first aid pouch on my belt, and the one in the truck, talking about PPE. Also fortunate to have a country hospital 10 mins up the road. Straight in, stitched up and done in 30 mins...no charge

Very timely thread...I am chilling on the couch with a big bandage on my forearm. I finally got myself really good with the silky saw. Follow through while cutting a dead branch, and sliced deep on my left forearm. Stitches and all. I have never bled so much! I will now be buying one of those...
