Inspecting Your Gear

This video is aimed at giving you an overview of how to log and inspect your technical equipment. I will explain a simple methodology for inspecting PPE which can be used on any item. This is the start of a series of films where I will focus on a specific type of gear and how to inspect it. I have videos on inspecting connectors, soft gear and complex gear in preparation right now, with more to follow if there is demand.
Many thanks for watching. Please leave a comment if you have any feedback or suggestions for future videos. If you find the films useful, consider subscribing and sharing as that really helps others find these films.

Use of these video coaching guides should be as part of a training programme and they should not be taken to be an exhaustive training resource as many topics cannot be covered fully. There will be other safety factors to consider with any technique and item of equipment, so you should seek proper training, read all manufacturer’s information and practice in a safe and controlled environment prior to relying on any of the skills or equipment demonstrated in these videos.

I have some clog and 'snow and rock' carabiners. I bought them about 10 years ago. I know clog made snow and rock equipment and wild country bought clog years ago. Any idea of where I can find life span ratings for them? They live on my personal rack as i am unsure. Great videos by the way. keep up the good work. HP

Hi mate, cheers. I think the only people to ask will be Wild Country. I would expect that as there is no benefit for them stating that gear made by another brand before they took over would be fine to use, so they'll just say replace it. Rope Test Lab on FB is a good place to ask for old paperwork as people seem to hoard things like that!
