As a certified athletic trainer I dress a couple hundred blisters a year. A great item to add is called cover-roll. It's very thin and sticky and works great under sweat. But it's also great to use on "hot spots" on your skin, ie areas that are chaffing. A roll of 4 inch is maybe 8 bucks and had tons of use. Good luck and stay safe

[@thebassmaster1364]

Ever try duck tape?

[@smokingbluegrass]

@@thebassmaster1364 Did you notice the word chafing? I don't ever want to pull duct tape off of my inner thigh. Or maybe your talking about some other tape I've never heard of, meant for waterfowl, "DUCK" tape hahahahaha

[@biosaber585]

@@smokingbluegrass fun fact DUCK tape and DUCT tape are in fact two different things. DUCT tape is generally going to be aluminum tape, it's basically sticky aluminum foil and is made for you guessed it duct work on heating and ventilation. This is because it needs to be thermally sound no matter the temperature, hot, cold, etc. it cannot be affected hence the aluminum. DUCK tape is made of duck cloth and adhesive, it was designed by the military for water proofing ammo crates. It is TERRIBLE in thermal transitions but is amazing at repelling water. I too would very much hate to pull sticky aluminum tape off my leg, though DUCK tape wouldn't be too bad as its adhesive tends to break down with human sweat

[@caseymichel1113]

Agree 100%

[@zebragoboom]

@@biosaber585 that's certainly not true in any hardware store i've ever been in. duct tape is what everyone calls duct tape, and duck tape is either a brand of duct tape or just an eggcorn of duct tape.

A hint we used on boats: in order to prevent your chemlight to activate accidentally (and therefore be dead when you need it), protect it inside a piece of rigid PVC tubing (the one that is used to run electrical wires) and keep it in place with a tab of duct tape. It saved me many chemlight (we keep them in a pocket in our life jackets).

[@christopherharpster9330]

I learned my lesson to buy myself wildland gear. When I was a young buck before I even took a wildland class, I started into volunteer fire. I was down at the station actually getting ready for a public service event washing off our truck when the scanner went off " department 31 for rescue 31, engine 3117, tender3121 and station 38 for a brush fire coming towards a residential home." Now I'm wearing shorts, sneakers, and a t shirt, but I'm the only one at the station in that Moment. My buddy who's now deputy of the station calls up saying he's responding to the station, so I'm thinking to myself what am I going to do. I can't run home and change, but the only thing I had else to put on was my actual turn out gear. Luckily my other buddy had an extra helmet, but I ended up walking about 2-3 miles in 93° ambient temperature through the woods in full turn out gear. The next day I actually went to a local shop and bought myself a full set of gear. Now I'm a member of my county team, and they give us yearly gear so that's a huge plus, so I put my new gear in the station, last year's gear in my personal truck, and the year before that's gear in my wife's SUV. I have to agree when you say it's the best job. While I love firefighting in general, my absolute biggest passion is the outdoors. So being able to combine both of my favorite things into one is absolutely awesome

Amen on the Darn Tough socks! I have a pair that I have worn weekly (sometimes multiple times a week) for the past 10 years and they are still going strong. That’s with heavy use in boots for landscaping and construction. I highly recommend them over any wool sock!! I grab them first every time I do laundry and sometimes even where them two days in a row because they don’t smell.

[@rev.colinnicolle1120]

This is all super helpful and interesting, Cody. I recently started volunteering with my local SAR Team and, while Wildland gear is a bit different, all your videos about 24 kit and beyond has helped me a great deal. Cheers.

[@old_and_slow5471]

Tip on the forest service issue gloves. When you get a new pair, turn them inside out so the seams are outside away from your skin Then make small slits to pull the cinch straps through.(needle nose gerber or leatherman tool helps a lot). Best pants I've used are the Kevlar ones with the rip stop, from Cascade Fire. They seem to keep the heat off you much better than regular nomex material does, and the seams don't split while climbing over trees and rocks as easily. More expensive than nomex pants($185/pair last time I bought some 11 years ago), but well worth it. My favorite boots for firefighting are the Drew's Linecutter II's from Drew's Boots in Klamath Falls. One advantage to buying from Drew's is if they are in fire camp and running their commissary, if you have a boot problem many times they can fix them right there in camp when you go off shift, and I've never been charged by them for an emergency repair while on fire. Another tip to avoid the dreaded "White Bite", when you lace your boots, skip the first open hook eye, and lace them 2-1-3, it relaxes the part of the tongue that causes the bite, eliminating the blisters most of the time (just a little trick I learned from a 30 year BLM Engine Captain). If you get out on the line, stay safe. I'll be fair and not guess the total cost, since I've put it all together many times over 16 years fighting fires, both for myself and my employees when I was contracting engines. lol

[@JerkRice]

These kit packing videos are very informative. I like hearing your reasoning as to why you select each item.

In the Royal Navy we were issued Firefighting T-shirts, heavy pure cotton in navy blue, super comfortable and fire resistant good to have under your nomex. Hard to find good quality firefighting rated gear that doesn't have labels or logos.

[@SandCrabNews]

I learned to assemble kits in the Boy Scouts, Navy and later. All kits have a shelf-life, need inspection, cleaning, repair or replacement. Periodic maintenance should normally be every 6 months before a fire incident and post deployment. Do you use Leukotape in the blister kit? I send hikers to the Walmart fishing section for sunglasses, but local welding supply shops sell a variety safety glasses at low prices. You probably spent $1,500 putting that kit together. Perhaps Wranglerstar clothes can be embroidered making them safe to wear under your gear.

If you're going to make an exception with the batteries for a headlamp, I would seriously recommend a zebralight headlamp powered by an 18650 Lithium cell.

As a caver, I personally use the 18650 models, which output about 1600 lumen. On medium power, one cell lasts something like 40 hours. Food for thought

🔥 The Kincade Fire started two ridges west of me on the night of the 23rd Oct 2019.@ approx 9:30 pm. I live in Anderson Springs, (Lake County) and I am a Valley Fire Surviving Victim. I rescued as many of the elderly people and disabled neighbors as I could. One family included 2 elderly adults their 3 dogs and their paraplegic 50 yr old son who was quite frail. 3 of my neighbors perished in the fire, and unfortunately, the stress of the evacuation took its toll on the paraplegic....unfortunately, he died the following day down in Calistoga .. I have wondered if somehow I hurt him while trying to pull him up a flight of stairs ...but, he was fragile. The Valley Fire was a shock to most of us in Anderson Springs. We had not had a major incident in our lifetimes....and my Grandfather who built the Cabin in 1927 had not seen one in his lifetime of 103 years. The Valley Fire occurred on 09/12/2015. AI am now in my 60s ......BUT ...I am the only child of CAL OES Director NS Henderson, under Governor Reagan, (formerly known as the California Disaster Office) Also Director of OES Region 5 AND Fresno County Director of OES through the late 1960s thru the mid 1970s, I was literally known as “Disaster Girl”. I went on most of the Disaster Calls With my Father including th the Hunter’s Point And Watts Riots, theSylmar Quake in the Tehachipis ...the Rogers Creek Quake in Santa Rosa and many floods throughout the San Joaquin Vallley. I simply do not recall ANY FIRES! I have had to evacuate more t times than I can say since 2015. Previous to the Valley Fire, Lake County Fires suddenly SURGED in 2012, 2013, and 2014! They actually arrested an arsonist in 2015 who had been on the Cal Fire Arson Radar for over a year. I now hate to admit that as an Ex Registered Nurse, I am actually just now beginning to feel PTSD from the Fire situation. I have had to stop myself from Second guessing if I could have rescued more people the day of the Valley Fire ...but it was all so sudden ...and being down in a canyon, we had ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING until it was literally right on top of us! I know this delayed PTSD will pass, and I am still effective during an emergency...it’s the between times that I become forgetful and so anxious at little things like someone’s barbecue smoke, or letting my gas tank fall below 1/2 tank...forgetting where I put things like my keys, and money. I am wondering if many firefighters get symptoms during off season times? I know that this and other fires were caused by PGE, and I know what I have witnessed happening with Northern California, especially in the overnight hours.

What do you mean by the last line? "what you've witnessed happening in northern CA, especially overnight?"

13:20 that’s actually pretty interesting because in the military you ONLY write in black ink.

[@CreampieSamuri]

WRONG. Blue or black is acceptable in literally every branch, with black simply being the dominant color used.

If you want a really good quality headlamp that runs on AA batteries look into the Streamlight Sidewinder Compact. Its primary battery is a CR123 but it is designed to run on AA and AAA batteries. So you can run with the CR123 as intended and if it dies, convert to AA from your backup supply. It also has multiple colored light options for night ops. It's probably the most flexible, jack of all trades, headlight I've come across.

I'm guessing with everything being high quality about $7500 all together
