"Why a sharpie, I love sharpies I like the way they smell."
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni omg lol totally
That is totally me. The smell of it.
You can't get high from them anymore
"Because structural firefighters need heroes too" - I almost wore my tea..!
I like my full brim helmet for extra protection from falling embers. I bought my own to use on Wildland Ops and for professional fireworks as I do them also! Great video Sir.
as a structural firefighter, we think you wildland firefighters are crazy!! but we are a bit jealous when we get brush fires and have to walk a mile in our structural firefighting boots :P
+Benjamin Towhey that reminds me of responding to a mutual aid call for a fairly local wildland fire in my full bunker gear and seeing the wildlife folks walking around in coveralls...i was so jealous!!
+Darryl Johnston xD I we keep both structure gear and wild land gear on our racks for those types of situations, I've yet to get a call for a wild land fire, I always seem to be away when they come in, plus I'm on a rescue anyway so I probably wouldn't get sent out anyway, but hey, yah never know.
Benjamin Towhey very true, but I don’t think their crazy
"Because Structural Firefighters need heroes, too"? Okay. As a former structural firefighter, who fought more than a few grass, field and brush fires, I suppose that it is fair to say I have always held the Wildland Firefighter is a different - though, totally awesome - animal. But, it really is apples and oranges. Fighting fires in skyscrapers or doing ARFF is something different, too. But, let's face it, Firefighters really exist to give LEO's inferiority complexes.

wtf is LEO?
Josh Preciado LEO=Law Enforcement Officer
Dude called himself a hero. Like a total mook.
ag.floats XR dude, you’ve replied to other comments saying, basically, the same thing and it’s annoying. He was literally just kidding.
Just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago. I've been thinking about getting into wildland for a few years now and it's great to have your knowledge to learn from! Thanks! My name is Cody as well by the way!
Thank you for doing for service to protect the forests of our nation and the lives of people who live in and near them. You do a great service Cody.
Thanks for these videos Wranglerstar. I just came off the Two Bulls fire and now I have some great videos to watch while relaxing!
I can tell it's new gear. We are a firefighter family. My husband, myself, and son in law are all volunteer firefighters. My husband and I have been firefighters for 20 years. Where we live volunteer firefighters fight both structure and wildland fires. We also do search and rescue. My son is a wildland firefighter for USFS. Yes, he works for Smokey Bear. He has been doing that for 5 years after serving 10 years in the military.
More,More,More on the History of these brave men and woman so they don't become forgotten as the Korean and Vietnam Nam veterans were. . GREAT JOB ! Keep it up and keep it coming.Thank You for your service to this Nation.

"...because structural firefighters need heroes too."
Funny Cody. I just about spat my Mt. Dew on my keyboard I was laughing so hard.
Same! I got a kick out of that
Interesting design requirements for your boots. Great info. You're an asset to the community.
Thank you,
As someone who lost her cabin to Michigan's third largest forest fire, thanks for what you do!
great info, my best friend started working as a wildland fire fighter a few months ago.
Loving this short series already!
Thank you for your service!
Ah, didn't see that coming. I was so involved with watching the video I didn't notice we had already gotten up to 11 minutes. I will be looking for part 2 as soon as its available. Great review so far!
over 6000 thumbs up got us this review guys, we should have AT LEAST 6000 thumbs up for the review too!
No need to wait Colin here is a link to part 2 th-cam.com/video/JYLEamUpeos/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, but no worries, I found it ;) Your channel is one I always keep a very close eye on for new videos :)
Great Review. You should do a review of the engines on your dept.
For anyone who may not know, Nomex is the same material used to make fireproof suits for race car drivers & fighter pilots.
Where is your IRPG?
Looks like my hockey bag! So much stuff, can't find it all. like your socks!
Got my warm cup of Milo .. & watching ..
Thanks for sharing :)
I like the way sharpies smell as well!
the headlamp may not be the latest and greatest, but the LED's don't do well in smokey/dusty areas due to their wavelength and the blush tinge. (our fire dept training Lt explained it to our advanced CERT class) it bounces back the light on particulate. The xenon, halogen or incandescent bulbs can cut through the smoke. So that's why there are both bulbed and LED lights on most gear. (if that makes any sense). I know my G2 pierces the smoke house easily, while everyone else's LED lights just don't penetrate.
Excellent video! Very interesting to see the ins and outs of the kit. Regarding the head lamp - I hear incandescent bulbs penetrate smoke a little better, would you say there's any truth to that?
Brings back so many memories of all my gear. We only have 1 NFS hand crew in this area that I live now. olllllllllo
Man, I'm do pumped to do wildland firefighting for the first time this season!
howd it go?!
I do love these longer videos!

I love this stuff Ive been fighting them since I was 18 (im 22 now) Sadly I havent been to the fires of your guys statures of the western fires. Here in Ky the largest fire Ive been on was roughly 10 thousand acres.But regardless I want to get out west and fight some of the fires you guys have. You sir and your family are honestly an inspiration.Thanks for the awesome videos Cody.
Be Safe Jay,
Always Sir, you be safe as well.
TFW Vibram makes Disc Golf Discs too.
Did I see AAA on the helmet light pack? Love all your videos btw
All the guys here at my station need a hero, or something. We have a few rigs with that set up. Thanks for the video, SLCFD #5.
Damn it must be nice having gear that clean and fresh 😂 that’s how you tell apart engine crews and hand crews
So cool! Where else would we learn about this? (That's a rhetorical question...I assume nowhere, except by looking into becoming a firefighter....)
God bless firefighters
Very cool video. No fires to fight here in Wanker where I live, but I would look great wearing all of this to grill a steak. Thanks for sharing.
Very very interesting, what kind of training do you under go to become a wildland fire fighter. I'm only 15 so i could potentially become a wildland firefighter so what goes into becoming one? Thanks :)
Those ESS goggles look the same as the ones I was issued with to go to Iraq and Afghanistan (Australian Army). Didn't like them much as they felt uncomfortable wearing them with my CVC helmet (Armoured Crewman Vehicle Communication helmet) but they where better than the Wileys. Ballistic rated protection, blast rated and fire rated. Only had one digger lose his eye sight wearing these but he was right next to the blast when it went off. If he hadn't been wearing them he wouldn't be here. Another Vehicle Commander had a car bomb go off next to him. The goggles saved him. He only has a few scars on his checks but previously he'd been wearing the Wileys and if he hadn't have changed over he wouldn't be here either cause the ESS had a splinter stuck in the lens below the bottom of where the Wileys stopped. Good equipment. So glad they take your safety seriously. I think our volunteer Bushfire Brigade blokes get Bolle ski goggles.
tell us about your choice of head light
I miss the smelly markers from grade school!! Everyone had colorful noses after art class. And it's Sharpay!! Cool gear Cody
Hi Mr. Wranglerstar, I'm curious about your custom Adam's boots; it almost looks as if on the sole the heel has had the screws removed. Can you explain?
"Because Structural Firefighters need heroes too" LOVE IT!!!
I haven’t seen any comment critiquing about nomex. It’s not fireproof, it’s fire resistant up to a certain degree (I forgot)
Great vid going to watch part 2 right now.
It looks like you have taken some screws out of the heel in your shoes, if you have could you explain why
Good stuff your a man with a lot of hats
what kind of truck do you guys use, and/ forestry equipment
Maybe you know something I don't know, but I was always told the reason Firefighters are still issued halogen lights is because the beam cuts through smoke better then an LED beam can.
Cody I noticed your kit has changed since 2014. Can we see an updated video? Thanks!
"Cos firefighters need heroes to" Ouch😂😂
"If you've ever had hot molten plastic stuck to your skin, you don't' want it." Haha, so true. Love the video. Keep it up!
Wranglerstar I'm currently a structural firefighter and want to make the Jump over to Wildland how do I go about doing this ? I've fought a few small wildland fires in my state and found out that's where I want to go with my career , any advice would be greatly appreciated
Where did you get your bags bro?
Can you do a vises on the structure fire hear?
You work in a good fire district there Cody. Know a few county deputies there too. We'll just leave the name off for now.
Please more fighterfighting related videos ;-) regards from a german volunteer firefighter
Just curious if silk socks would work as well, I have some for skiing which are very comfortable.
Another very interesting videos, I laughed at your line "Because structural firefighters need heroes too!" funny, love to see that interservice rivalry.
Cheers!
I'm not a wildland fire fighter, but I am a biologist. Silk would work fine, it's what we use for lab coats around fire. It burns, not melts, just like cotton and wool.
Thanks, that is what I figured, but nice to have confirmation.
Is the Pulaski axe issued to you as well as the other equipment?
"Everything's double A"
*Has AAA battery pack*
Tries to male witty comment.
Not very observant
It says 4 AA
His head lamp tales WAS but the rest of his gear takes AA
+Wranglerstar I'm going to be staying with wildland firefighting this year. I'm wondering if you had any boot recommendations for someone just starting out. Money is tight and I can upgrade later, so do you have any ideas for a decent boot that's $300 or less? I'm having trouble finding something without a steel shank.

8 years too late, but if I’m working on smoke or fog, halogen is better because it’s wavelength doesn’t bounce as much light back off the smoke or fog and cuts through better. That’s the reason for it. While the leds in this instance are for a flood where smoke isn’t an issue and you just need to see in the dark, and preserve battery life. That incandescent is for the heavy lifting. I’m a flashlight “enthusiast” you might say, and have a massive collection, and depending on the job I’m doing or conditions, it will dictate which light source I use. Ie. Halogen/xenon or led.
On to part 2!
As a Wildland Firefighter, do you have to buy your own equipment?
wow I live near bend, what city are you in? I had no idea you were in oregon
Are you still a volunteer firefighter? I've been watching your old firefighting videos lately
Is there a reason you don't use Nomex socks? They are commonly used along with fire suits in motorsports. Then again, we're usually sitting, so maybe I'm missing an issue with comfort or wear.
I have that exact web belt, I use it for a survival belt
My helmet was leather, but I was structure. and yes fss was my heroes.
Cool stuff, I don't mind 20 min videos
So because of the long collar and shroud of the helmet you do not have to wear a traditional nomex hood? I hate mine every time I come out of a fire its soaking wet. Can't wait for part 2. Will be praying for your safety . its not a easy job
Love The boots I work on a hand crew in Oregon.. How would i get a similar pair?
Older vid but very interesting.
Are seasonal firefighters always on call for wildfires?
Ah yes the Two Bulls fire here in Bend. Missed a week of school and finals from it!
in the yukon we call those fire shelters "shake and bakes"
If you like sharpies check out Milwaukee version. Writes on dusty and wet surfaces... Home Depot 2 bucks
I was wondering how one becomes a wild land fire fighter? I am very interested in becoming one.
nice they are vibram. i have vibram five fingers shoes i think they are awesome..
That's one old Pelican headlamp. I can assure you that the headlamps Pelican produces today are much higher quality and all LED with adjustable lenses. www.pelican.com/lights_detail.php?recordID=2760
Have you ever had to deploy your fire shelter
Pelican makes very rugged lights. I have a Pelican miner's flashlight that is waterproof and designed to be safe in an area with flammable gasses.
..a fireproof soul...
What does FSS mean?
How do you become a woodland firefighter
wranglerstar What advice would you give to an aspiring Volunteer Fireman? I'm 25 and looking to get more involved in my community and give back while using my abilities and skills. I've talked to the necessary individuals and will be going through the application/interviewing process shortly. However, what practical advice and wisdom could you offer?
"I like sharpies. I like the way they smell."
what about alpaca socks?
I’ve been a volunteer firefighter in Texas for 2 years. I want to join wildland firefighting or Forestry Service. I am currently building a tiny house on a trailer.
I do both wildland/brush fires and structural fires.
ThinRedLine ask your department about wildland certifications and see if they won't cover it if not they have online courses you can take
Are the green pants so the fire will think You're a tree?
insanely cool
He's grown a lot(as a creative) in these 6 years.
i.m a vol firefighter paramedic and i do woods fire good video
THIS IS AWESOME!
I'm both. structure and wild land fire fighter
I am about to be a firefighter, I would love to specialize in wildland firefighting
Are you still with your volunteer crew or have you switched over to a full time outfit?
Stay safe, it looks likes it fixing to be a hot one here in the cascades.
“Why do we need wildland firefighters? Because structural firefighters need heroes too” wrangler star has me deeeeaaad😂
Those are 8 inch boots, correct, or..?
"I love the way they smell" LOL
