To answer some questions… The reason I use a suction hose in the top of the tank instead of connecting the pump to the bottom valve is so that if needed, I can pull up to a water source and throw the suction hose right into it to refill the tank. The hose has a check valve on the end so that once it’s primed, it stays primed until I disconnect it from the pump and drain the water out of it for winter. We have lots of cattle watering stations around here, and many people have cisterns on their properties. And second, I didn’t “call out Paul”, I simply said that I don’t need the help of someone a thousand miles away every time I need to weld something when I myself an a welder. I get a pile of those comments literally every single time I weld or build anything. Like I said, don’t know the guy and have nothing against the guy, but if I do need help with something, there’s plenty of people a hell of a lot closer who I actually do know that I’m going to see long before I try to get help from someone in a completely different state. But yes, I absolutely did make a little joke about Heavy D’s videos basically being one big commercial. And I did that because Heavy D’s videos are basically just one big commercial

I live in rural Tennessee (Yes, it can be hot and humid here) and am surrounded by hundreds of acres of deciduous hardwoods and we too have a fire season. I have been looking into some sort of fire protection system but that dinky tank just wouldn't cut it here. When I lived in SW Montana I knew a guy who had a buried, well fed, 700 gallon plastic septic tank he used for home defense. I'm looking at that option with a more reliable dual gas/electric pump.

Casey I like your fire trailer set up. I was very fortunate to have had a wonderful career as a firefighter. One of the things I was involved in was upgrading and implementing changes to our fire departments wildland program. We were very fortunate to have lots of resources, ie. money and so we could buy and try out a bunch of different wildland equipment and gear and like you we spent weeks with Cal Fire on the line and in their schools like Fort Hunter Liggett and in Costa County where they both do controlled burns on huge military training grounds. We even got to help do some of the testing for the newer fire shelters that the brother of one of the wildland firefighters who was killed on Storm King mountain helped developed. We were also involved in bringing some of the awesome training from Cal Fire to Oregon by helping to develop and put on the Central Oregon Wildfire school (COW's)... I do have a couple of small suggestions for your wildland trailer. Since water is such a premium we found that adding a shut off bale before your nozzle can help save water and time by not have to dial the nozzle open and closed everytime you use it and you can leave it preset on whatever spray pattern you want. Second I would suggest you make a hose line to the length needed to spray from the cab for fast running grass fires... I've learned several things from watching your channel. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your life with the rest of us👍😊...

It was still there when it was safe to go out and get it after the temperature came up and was not slick. All comes down to risk assessment and yesterday's news was not worth it.

I must admit that I picked up on your channel from some of the others. Honestly, I never opened KZbin just to see if you had a new episode posted. I am a subscriber but if the thumbnail and leader comment didn't interest me, I might pass by for other channels. That changed today. Not that I didn't previously have respect for you and what you do (I do), but your comments to the YT audience was more than refreshing. Before I watched to see what you were doing, from now on I will watch to also hear what you have to say. I know it's a fine line you have to walk with subscribers, potential sponsors, etc., but if you have the courage to stand up for what you think, that is actually more important to me than everything else. And my thoughts on you having product support with Harbor Freight? Where do I sign up LOL. I haven't bought a tool from anywhere else in almost 15 years (not including specialty tools). Would I rather support a company selling American made products? Yes, but I can't afford them and still put food on the table. Should you make a video about sponsors and YT for profit. Only if it will make you feel better. There are plenty out there and if anyone wanted to know (I did, and well, yeah) they can go look at someone that likes to rain on parades. You stick to you and what you are and what you do. That is what got me watching your channel. Not sponsors. I did find you from another YT channel but I have stayed because of the content you provide. And now I will continue to stay because you want to keep it all real. That's not popular, but I love it!

People just assume everyone knows everyone and make comments based on that thinking, however impractical it might be. You are in Oregon, not Utah or California or Tennessee.

That people can have an opinion based on actual experience, not just because a company pays them to read a speech. It's even more cool when you say 'this isn't sponsored, I bought this' and then you show that it's pretty darned solid. Like that HF water pump. You said 'haven't started this since last year' and it pops over on the first pull. I've got a lawn mower that I can't get to turn over on a first pull even using it weekly. Seeing a 2 stroke turn over at first pull makes me want to know more, which means I look forward to see more videos on this channel.

Those that have almost lost a lot due to a quickly spreading fire, know exactly why you have a trailer prepared. Sometimes 5 minutes makes the difference between huge losses and no big deal, when the fire department is 15-20 minutes away. Yes on sponsorship video details. I have noted that every youtube contributor worth his salt gets "helpful" comments. Also noted is that those contributors that push back on the comments, get even more comments, but less friendly. Matt of MORR in the last month has started using humorous sarcasm to deal with this. When someone tells him something obvious or ridiculous, he thanks them for their help and tells them that he would have completely missed the issue if not for the amazing help. I'm loving it! Good luck to you Sir, and may you never need your fire trailer.

I have a very similar setup. I recommend getting a short garden hose and running it off the wye and back into the tank so you can have recirculation through the pump when you aren't spraying water on the fire.
@philduoos29612 жыл бұрын
I just learned that on my pressure washer (all of them I guess) is that if the engine and pump are on the water needs to be flowing or you will burn up the pump. I've had the pressure washer for years and didn't know that and it still works fine, but it does say it in the manual - so I zip-tied my handle on the wand to be on the "on" position all the time. Plus it saves my hands from having to squeeze it!

I'm with ya on the high temps! Here in Indiana, we also get high humidity, so it's a double-whammy. What if you had a quick-connect and a valve on the metal hose and tee into the suction port at the bottom of the tank? Then it could fill the tank while at the same time priming the pump. Just a thought. It's how guys do less work and still get it done. Heck, if it works out, you'll be back inside even sooner!

the option takes to long to prime in an emergency have the suction hose as Option connect to outlet valve of tank and see what other people use and the fire department and make all connections the same so you can go anywhere with the unit and likewise people can help you .
@CaseyLaDelle2 жыл бұрын
The hose has a check valve on it so that once it’s primed, it stays primed. That is the one and only time I’ll have to prime it until I set it up again next year.

I have experience with several of the HF predator engines and I have to say that I am impressed with them being reliable and easy to start even after years. Nice and easy to assemble fire trailer. Everything looks dry there and the 100 degree plus heat I am sure is not helping. I live in a wooded area of SE Ohio. About 10 years ago a neighbor decided to burn trash during a high wind and dry period. Caught the woods behind me on fire maybe 20 acres of woods I walk regularly. Pretty shocking when you have not been around it.

I was watching a podcast recently with a few different youtubers I'll watch. They didn't say how much they get for sponsorships (on their own channels) but they did say something along the lines of "you'd hate us if you knew how much they paid". One of them also said that the mobile game sponsorships he does purely for the money.

@@davidwoermansr Yeah, that's how sponsorships have always worked, I don't see why people are confused about that. Certain countries (like Canada, the UK, and I think the US) have laws that make it so you can't say anything that you don't believe or believe to be true in a sponsorship. I don't see the issue with taking a sponsorship for a product you don't use, as long as it's clear that it's sponsored & you don't lie and say that you use it. It's not some crazy complex concept, ad reads have been this way for over a hundred years. They used to be much worse too.

G'day from Australia that's a nice-looking low budget fire trailer I've just recently finished building a 400 litre version excluding the already built 6x4 trailer of which I purchased in mid-March my trailer unit consists of a 1.6 hp 1'' fire pump, 400 litre tank,3/4'' outlet connected to a t piece with a black smooth hose leading to the pump inlet and a secondary outlet fitted with a gate valve/wajax forestry coupling for refilling from water tankers I've got 2 black rubber lines as my primary and secondary attack lines and at present a 38 mm cam lock hose of which I'm planning to replace with something much more light weight the pump gives out 120 litres a minute so I can get about 20 minutes of water supply before running out

Good morning Casey and hell yes, make the video! A lot of the channels as they have grown have become a money hungry monster in my opinion. Seems that they have a script that is choreographed for them, and oh yeah waaaay too commercialized in many ways. One channel that you mentioned really turned me off, seems to me that they had used a case of a missing young man for content of their channel as they came rushing in with a Helicopter and cameras to make drama for their own personal gain. That is my opinion and somebody else may see it differently. Anyways, thumbs UP to you Casey I appreciate you and your channel. Oh yes, I am totally with you concerning the heat and humidity!

@@bigpaugh the large intestine is the main organ your body uses to absorb fluids, so without that it’s very hard to stay properly hydrated in the heat. Missing a kidney I imagine would compound that as well. A trick I was taught was to eat foods like bread or chips before drinking water to basically create a sponge that the water soaks into. Then when the small intestine tries to absorbs whatever nutrients it can out of the food, it absorbs more of the fluids as well. If you drink water on an empty stomach, the small intestine just passes the fluid on to the large intestine since that’s it’s job, but when the large intestine isn’t there or isn’t fully functional, that obviously becomes a problem when it comes to hydration
