[@Gotafish1]

I said it before in the beginning of this series and I will repeat it again with more emphasis. Alan is a great asset to the Wranglerstar videos. I hope Alan reads these comments as its nothing but an ATTABOY for him and the entire family.

[@benshafer3124]

+Salty Diarrhea Ditto #2

[@josiahgastineau7491]

I totally agree! The friendship adds so much. Does Alen create KZbin videos?

[@benshafer3124]

attaboy every body needs a honest little buddy

[@alanm.thornton4055]

+Sunny W I just wanted to say, heartfully, thanks. I have seen a few pretty negative comments now and again, and I'll be honest and say it concerned me that I was not a good thing for Wrangerstars channel. However, it means a great deal that folks like you actually do enjoy the info and the effort he and I put into these. The feedback is valuable, and your input is greatly appreciated. Cheers, and thank you sir. ~alan

[@benshafer3124]

You guys should cut wood together hey wants in bag 5 and 6 and 7,,,,,,,,,there is nothing negative about Wranglerstar channel he should teach at a college or a high school , better yet run for President he is ten times better then the candidates we have and that is all of them , tell him Alan ,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@zachburns8873]

The interaction between you two is brilliant, you struggle to find this on some channels that have had twin hosts for years! The swapping objects s great, shows the true solidarity, that some shared experiences bring.

[@dionlindsay2]

What impresses me most is that the underlying conditions they're talking about are extreme and frightening. But Alan and Cody are being as normal as possible talking about them and being entertaining without being vainglorious. May God keep you and your colleagues safe!

[@ScottHaneyHello]

Dr. Bronner's for the win! Shampoo, soap, toothpaste, clothes detergent all-in-one.

[@ScottHaneyHello]

And shaving soap!

[@j.verheulst268]

+Scott Haney ;-) to be clear, that's often in different bottles...I don't brush my teeth with Castile soap...sorry for that...

[@ScottHaneyHello]

+J. Verheulst You can use Dr. Bronner's as toothpaste (toothsoap in this case, I guess). That one little bottle can be used for all those things!

[@j.verheulst268]

Brrr...I'd be snoring bubbles all night ;-) But yes in that sense your right. But as a tooth soap I'd only use it as an absolute emergency.

[@ScottHaneyHello]

+J. Verheulst Just a tiny drop works. A lot of ultralight/minimalist travelers carry it since it has so many uses.

[@DracoOmnia]

This was a really entertaining little mini series, you REALLY get to have an understanding of someone, their mindset, their skills, experience and their level of preparedness when you see what they pack (for anything really) but particularly for "battle". Mostly we didn't actually have weight restrictions but for field exercises we trained as if their were and that sucked. What you pack to live in a tent in the Virginia winter is not even close to the same as what you pack for the middle-east. There are quite a few parallels that I found amusing, the importance of shower shoes being one of them. At the risk of being bombarded hands down the best shower shoe out there.... the dreaded crocs. They weigh nothing, cover your toes so you keep out dirt, dust, sand and gravel infinitely better than flip flops, terrain with elevation can be crossed due to the heel strap... I've never owned a pair stateside but every deployment one of the first things you get when you can, damnable crocs.

[@rollingthunder915]

HA! You cracked me up with the Gold Bond. Army Basic Training, 1964; Johnson's Baby Powder was an absolute necessity. When my son was going off to Basic in 199?, I talked to him about lessons learned, giving him a step up on his barracks companions.

[@armadillerff]

A lot of this stuff is also similar to deploying or going to the field for military guys. I’m getting on in years (I’m an old geezer in Army Years) and have learned that certain things are super important. When you only get three to four hours of downtime you HAVE to make it your ME time. I have a Klymit Static-V Recon ($44.96 on Amazon) and their Luxe Pillow ($39.95) and they are complete and total game changers. Saved me during a hellacious JRTC rotation in the swamps of LA. I’m a ‘princess and the pea’ sleeper and it is hands down, no exaggeration, the best money I have ever spent on anything related to gear. Bar none. The pad compress down to the size of a Nalgene bottle and the pillow can be fit into a sandwich bag. Also I’ve found the “Mack’s Brand” of ear plugs to be the best and most comfortable to wear while sleeping.

[@Daynaleo1]

My favorite feature of the Dr. Bronner's was not mentioned. IT RINSES OUT SUPER WELL, with less than 25% of the water other soap takes.

[@robertshirley8791]

Absolutely great series of videos guys!!! Thank-you very much, had a blast watching them all back to back!

[@medicduckster]

right there at the end reminded me of the saying "you can tell the men from the boys by the price of their toys"

[@hallard069]

just loving this series - thank you.

[@greentin36]

Thanks really enjoyed the series

[@XxKnivesNGunsxX]

Dr. Bonner's soap is the king of soap. Awesome on hair,skin,clothes, dishes and a whole bunch more. It's biodegradable. Just remember to dilute it. I've had an 8 oz bottle last me well over 3 years now. Best of the best.

[@magicrobharv]

what makes this video so cool, is that you learn from each other, just as we learned from watching the video. plus there's a real sense of honesty, as in "thats a lot better way of doing it then I'm doing it" great video!

[@michaelray3108]

Thank you for doing this series and thank you for your service.

[@tal10527]

Cody, you and Alan are a RIOT! This video series is invaluable; thanks for posting.

[@blackhillsoutdoorsman5487]

I don't have an argument for the space aspect of a mummy bag, however, I use one when I backpack and love it! I have one with a zipper at the feet which allows me to stick them out (which is critical for me as well). I also don't use the hood over my head, however, I stuff my pillow in it and it does a great job of keeping it from slipping around. Just something to consider and maybe try a mummy bag!

[@mikebox]

Right off the bat, the first thing I see, and it looks great is the Bag with Swiss Army Camo on it.. really kool.

[@Adamfwt]

This is a really interesting series. It is fascinating to see they layers of preparedness you guys have to have. Thanks for it.

[@jeremyhenry1938]

Thanks for all the info on the War Bag series! I'm just starting out as a FF2 and it's very helpful on what to bring!

[@debstovervillarreal4348]

I wear ice and those freezer packs in bandanasa around my neck all the time here in NE TX on my farm. Wet bandanas are a must!

[@mjallenuk]

So stoked there's going to be at least another episode ... keep em coming ... picked up a few good ideas for general out and about camping ... perhaps this should be part of your local wildfire guide videos for newbies and the like ...

[@GarikDuvall]

Since this video discusses electronics/cables, I HIGHLY recommend Anker's Powerline+ nylon braided cables (usb or lightning). They are super strong and durable. Never have to worry about them failing.

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

thanks. would love to see some wildland stuff in your wranglermart also

[@TheLANECOOK]

Cody, a quick tip for the solar panel. I've found over awhile of packing it around, the panels get grit on them and it scratches the panels really bad. I just keep a shop towel folded in between the panels and it keeps them from scratching.

[@docteurshepherd]

Don't typically like channels that have guests but please bring back Alan often! You guys are just great together not to mention Alan has the best voice ever

[@OldPackMule]

Thanks for this. So many applications to long multi day hikes. Good ideas!

[@deanerichardson8930]

You two can keep going on the war stories, I love it, frankly it reminds of days past that I'm too old to repeat. Believe me enjoy it while you can!!!

[@dangmkites]

a lot of good advise guys, thanks. i own the same mountain hardware pants, lovem. one thing i was supersized neither of you guys talked about is a micro fleece sleeping bag liner! it adds so much to your kit for little to no wight or size. pros would be keeps your bag clean (this in itself is worth it), adds warmth when ya need it ( i mostly sleep with bag unziped as a blanket now with same big agnes pad), on warmer nights you just sleep in the liner on top of your bag. any way thanks for the tips. hope you try a bag liner and see how awesome they are.

[@ElkinsEric]

Also keep a tube of eye ointment in your bath kit. If you get something in your eye and it won't come out after the shower, put a little of this salve on your lower eyelid and sleep. When you wake up, all foreign particles and any irritation is gone. I think I got my last tube at Walmart.

[@paulreason6485]

Love seeing Aoaj in this series. He seems like such an amazing guy and we are glad you share him with us

[@drennenjohn]

Best series yet, love the banter between the two of you.

[@Gulliolm]

Alans humor so good, i like his facial expressions and the fresh wind he brings to this channel. Is he a friend of Cody?

[@maina207]

These warbag videos are great keep em coming please .

[@MrDrillunit]

love these warbag series!

[@thomasrush5417]

Great kit for wildfires, you would have had to make adjustments to spend some time in the woods with an Airborne Infantryman.

[@Webtime96]

Great series, with alot of things that transfer over to basic camping also. Enjoyed this series of videos greatly. BTW, that Dr. Bronners soap is great stuff.

[@2centprofitgmailcom]

Must haves for any survival pack - Potassium permangranate Schrade schf10 + firestarter Small med kit with extra bottles of iso, hydrogen peroxide and an extra tube of neosporin Emergency food ration 'bricks' and some clif bars A small tarp/tent That takes care of fire, water, food, shelter and medical supplies...it'll come out to around 15lbs. Light enough for long hikes but contains everything you need to survive.

[@TheNicky9905]

You guys rock! Thanks for these videos, I've learn't something from every one of them

[@benwinckler131]

Instead of liquid skin (which peels off) I use peroxide for decontamination and super glue to seal a wound, it holds much longer and works really well, it dries much faster too.

[@Gonzomaus]

I'm not English, but I think that "knickers" generally refers to women's underwear (what you Americans would call "panties"). Just in case you wan't to avoid silly questions from silly people :)

[@stihl334]

I'm English and For men we call them boxers and for women's knickers

[@lancer2204]

+Marcus B. Yep, "knickers" are something frilly worn by women and girls...

[@jamesavent2245]

For the mosquito issue if you do not want to use spray on bug repellant i have found that a thermacell is good. They are right around $25-30 but they are worth it in my opinion. They dont have nearly as bad of an odor and they are fairly light. That may be an option worth looking into

[@weswood151]

+1 for the Dr. Bronners, but after 10-15 years of using it in the field you must, must, must use a different bottle. The cap is brittle and once it breaks the soap will find its way into everything. At a minimum, tape the cap down.

[@mortoopz]

I find it hard to sit through a hollywood movie (boring), but 2 hours of you guys flew by.

[@markericksonsr3130]

Great group of videos guys.

[@bethanyb4478]

Re: Ash and soap. You know that people used to make lye soap with potash, which I understand was obtained by pouring water through hardwood ash. This was then boiled with fat to form soap. I'm thinking that the ash on your skin may react with the sweat and skin oil to make just a little lye soap-- which is caustic.

[@cornishlad97]

Alan's reef flip flops are awesome!! I've been wearing exactly the same ones for over 2 years now and I wear them every day, absolutely the best you can buy + the bottle opener does come in handy too :)

[@Jimmy_in_Mexico]

I totally agree about your stuff. I did the BP oil disaster cleanup. You have a lot of similarities to what it was like then. 16 hours a day non-stop till done and no days off.

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

what tent?

[@MrCheckitout123]

another asset of the peppermint soap is its anti-bacterial. good call. will add that to my kit. as for undershirts, thermal, and undies. I have dri-fire. moisture wicking, comfortable and flame resistant materiel. boatch tactical had sweet deal on ebay.

[@rosswalker5053]

I love you war bags one of my favourite series

[@arkansasoutdoorsmen5433]

I use the gold bond for chafing and things of that nature. Put it on the night before and the morning and you will feel great

[@stanwilliams1642]

I really enjoyed this video I never really thought about how much gear you'll have to carry. keep up the great work guys

[@Magegost2]

Best series on this channel! Haha

[@eyerg]

The group dynamic of you two bantering in videos is great. If Alan is game, please keep it coming!

[@thomasgoossens4258]

I have been looking forward to this video, great job

[@noelmadagan1214]

The battery packs can now be bought with the solar panels on them

[@OregonMike]

Anyone know what specific solar panel/charger that is @ 18:51 ?

[@ElkinsEric]

Guys get some splinter outs and keep in your bath kit and your med kits. You will not need tweezers again. I work in a hardwood flooring plant and we use these, and these only. They are the best way to remove splinters....or slivers as you refer to them.

[@carlossmith3316]

castille soap,you can wash clothes,dishes,safe to use outdoors

[@budmoore8144]

this series has been very interesting

[@willblake72]

Good call on the Dr. Bronners. I like the eucalyptus flavor, which seems to help deter insects.

[@policerKJO]

for organization of the cables, try using the plastic container that comes on some rolls of electrical tape.

[@CharlesRyann]

I don't even do fire stuff, its awesome to see all the gear you need. good stuff!

[@jamesroney6443]

I was surprised to see Dr. Bronners Castile soap and find out you did not not already use it. A little bit goes a LONG way. When it is not been diluted, you can use a few drops and clean you hair and face, possibly your body too. That bottle will last MANY showers. The Pepermint one as shown is great as it has a cooling effect when used. My next favorite one is the Tea tree oil one for the extra cleaning properties it contains.Good trade and try it at home before you use it in the field.PS. They have a few scents/oils that Mrs W might really like...Citrus,rose,lavender,etc.

[@BizarreSmalls]

So for glasses, you can get prescription safety sunglasses like my brothers that basically has a gasket around each eye to prevent things from getting in.

[@fdgearhead6567]

Great video series!! I would be great to have a list of all this stuff so we know who makes it.

[@benbarnes-scrivin5961]

so glad to see another "This ole war bag"

[@BernFya]

with tent sizes consider -occupancy size necessary -real estate required (in numbers other than just you. Usually limited space) -low ceiling keeps your body heat closer -paper body towels aren't always supplied. small microfiber dries fast -for night shift, no synthetic material thermals allowed, but consider military FROG wear. Flame Resistant Organizational Gear is affordable but not easy to find -NO Feet for me, bug net is great over your head -I'm saving up for a GOAL ZERO solar + battery storage kit to trial (nomad or sherpa) -wall chargers are great. I never allow phone charging in vehicles overnight for obvious reasons.

[@ATBOYD-sg4hd]

love the Dr. Bronners great choice used it on my thru hike and used it for everything. A little goes a long way

[@rovingone3676]

I know that synthetic undershorts are great for hot and sweaty weather, but you can't wear them on fires since they melt to your skin if you are burned. I'm curious if silk undershorts wouldn't work well. Doesn't it wick moisture and dry faster than cotton?

[@spencercurtis5626]

I do not know where to get them but one of my hazmat team members has a little adopter for a mini USB to a USB-C. I would think you could get one for every phone. The adapter is only a half inch to 3/4"

[@drumrgrrrl4319]

I love the videos with Alan!! Good stuff! What brand were those pants you showed with the zip off legs and ends that zip open to fit over boots? Also, which brand of full body shower wipes did you have? Thank you for SO MANY useful, easy to watch, valuable videos!

[@dougdunlap6638]

What was name of solar panel in your war bag that is so great? .?

[@michaeldougfir9807]

FYI to a fellow Anglophile: "knickers" is British for panties! Not for boxers, briefs, or skivvies. Other than that, thanks for the War Bag series. Very useful.

[@yt12394]

what is the body wipe? I do not see it mentioned anywhere in the comments.thanks.

[@cuttheknot4781]

Neodymium magnetic hooks would be great to fasten your solar panel array through the eyelets. Especially to a metal truck body. These magnets are about 1" in diameter and each cost about $7 each. Thank you

[@MrDieselOnly]

We always called it "galded" when you'd get a rub rash from wearing wet clothes in a warm/hot humid weather. This was in the St Louis area.

[@trentjones8415]

Cody, I love having you two in the videos together.

[@johnwarner1534]

Woodsmans flydope is the best for Maine blackfly and mosquitos.

[@jgthomas123]

Baby oil will keep mosquitos away Btw. It's seriously impressive.

[@fr33rid3r33]

Love those Reef Fanning Flip Flops, on my 3rd pair!

[@forgenorth1444]

Anyone know what model that solar charger is?

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

love the looks of the bag.- Ruthie

[@deeryme7690]

You guys need to make more videos together

[@LordDelakar]

Field Showers! aka a box of baby wipes.

[@123eBOLa321]

We call the monkey butt either "infantry fire" or "muzzle flash" here in Sweden. The muzzle flash is self explanatory and the infantry fire is basically because of all the walking infantry does. Both terms derive from us coming from a conscript based armed force and therefor almost every man used to be in the armed forces at some point. But muzzle flash ought to be the best description of it in my book.

[@milessmith7959]

Hey Mr. Wrangle star I have a question about my chainsaw. I have a poulan pro 295 and I'm trying to decide how big the bar should be. U have any suggestions?

[@joycejudd5109]

what a fantastic set of videos this is. Easily could be used for training, for "re-training" and for encouraging all the heroes who do as you do...go out and fight the fires. Thank you for these videos, and thankyou, both of you, for your service!

[@johngrosso3388]

"Plumbers crack" - the proper term for that area is "Gluteal cleft"

[@bowshott007]

[@b_a_c_k_s_t_a_y2685]

What is the folding solar panel brand?

[@MrDskaiser]

What is that soap and how can O purchase some?

[@Mandalore06]

How do you apply Gold Bond without having it leaking out of your pants and boots? Every time I use it, it make a huge mess.

[@redbearpreparedness2882]

You guys should forget the tents, and get some hammocks with built in mosquito net and a rain fly. All you need is two anchor points to hang it. You could do away with the sleeping pad, tent, etc., and cut your gear weight down. It also serves a dual purpose as a chair. You'll also get a better nights sleep being cradled rather than lying on the cold ground.

[@alanm.thornton4055]

+Red Bear Preparedness There are no anchor points in fire camp; we are posted up in school parking lots and fields usually. Plus bears just think your a floating burrito.

[@redbearpreparedness2882]

OK, I thought you were sleeping out in the woods.

The bug repellent I have is Sawyer Maxi Deet..its 98.11% Deet

[@clownslider]

Cody, who makes the blue fleece lined stuff sack?

[@j.verheulst268]

Would a 5 gallon, or more, portable camp showerbag be an option? Roled up in your WAR BAG So you can have a shower, wherever you are, after a hard days work. Worst case scenario you fill it with cold water from the truck?

[@MattFitzy27]

You have to make a video of the new brush truck!

[@bobcolorado3491]

Cody is the charger a Cozypony? Great videos, thanks guys.
