Wildland Fire Red Bag - Maxpedition 3-in-1 Load Out Duffel Bag

[@Spunky2268]

Great vids. I do US&R and am kind of a minimalist. I use zip top freezer bags for all of the kit in my red bags and web gear. If it gets trashed or I have to leave it in a hurry, it won't make me cry. Something to consider. You have great gear and it's expensive to lose.

[@anthonychisum4438]

Just got offered to be on the hand crew... your videos have been SUPER helpful. Thank you sir and thanks for all you do.

[@canesser1]

Been watching your videos for awhile now Beast and absolutely look forward to each and every one. This is a particularly valuable review in my opinion as it comes through your hard experience and it's packed with practical ways of concentrating the maximum amount of kit in a minimum amount of space and weight. Gotta love the 14 socks on 5' of guyline, that was priceless; we heard it here lol! Keep up the fantastic work, you are one of the best our there on KZbin IMHO.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

This video is GREAT! It was very informative, showed a gear setup that is custom to you and your needs, and was a fantastic compilation of your work activities. So many great things in this bag, and I am looking forward to the future reviews of some of those gear items that you mentioned. Thanks for the video!

[@morticianfaller]

good video. I was signed up for the crew out of PA for a couple of years but was never able to make a trip out west. Still on the in state crew here. Always good to see what others carry with them.

[@TheVAboss]

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Also, much respect for doing the fire gig. Take care!

[@mrmonkeyman50]

Great vid, Beast. Too many people really don't use their hard gear hard. (Like owning a 4x4 to drive around town.) Great field experience brought to YT...thanks for your contributions throughout the year.

[@stymiesam]

Another great vid. Enjoy the information and your thought process as to the why you do things as you do.

[@Reaper_1776_]

Nicely done. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so well.

[@BadTomorrow]

Good point on the boots. I've heard of people being booted (no pun intended) from fires for boots that didn't meet specs.

[@WanderingBeast]

@joerackl big agnes insulated, they take up less space, but you have to inflate them, but are 2 inches of pure comfort

[@CampfireTalk]

Finally I was able to watch this one : ) Great video beast that's packed with info. I added in a thermarest pillow to my sleep system about a year ago & haven't looked back. It's complete luxury & can be left at home, but I can tote it. Funny that there were guys that have never thought about using a ground pad. I would love to see their pack : ) If you want I think a video about your thoughts from being a fireman would be interesting. Maybe a story or 2 that sticks out. Take care buddy

[@danielstevens999]

god bless you fire boys... because no other bastard will

[@handyscot1]

Great setup Beast. Looks like your prepared pretty well to me. Take care man.

[@LMarshall32]

I am amazed at the effort you put into this vide, thank you for sharing!

[@willwork4toys]

Some positive and negative comments from a 20 year federal firefighter: Positive - Clothing recommendations (construction and quantity) were dead on. Too often I see people using the same socks or underwear for 2-5 days. Its not healthy, its not comfortable, and its not cool. Negative - Boots. Steel shanks do not act as good hotspot detectors...ever. Also, I don't care how short you are, 8" is the minimum boot size allowed on a fire in the lower 48...period.

[@ofeelma]

you got my dream job man. thanks for doing the reviews i really enjoy them.

[@EatCarbs]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to the tent review when you have time. I'd like to see a vid on your foot care kit as well. =D Thanks for all your hard work.

[@wyattoneable]

Nice set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@terryl7771]

do you have an itemized list of every item you mention in this video? It is the best I've seen.

[@hinckleypoland]

Great review of your gear Beast. You mentioned doing a review of the bag and I would request such. I almost bought one last summer but there is an extreme lacking of reviews on that bag on the web so I decided against it. Thanks.. stay safe/ warm up there!

[@WanderingBeast]

I wish I could, I just looked at it and there is no name on it, plus I doubt REI still makes that version, it has been one of my favorites, I may have mentioned it on other vids, if I remember I'll let you know.

[@bobrunner06]

Nice review. quality gear and well thought out!

[@snappa222]

great video.a lot of experience went into that kit.thanks for sharing.I do have one ?-You mentioned tape a lot.What uses do have for the tape.thanks

[@JimKinkade]

I wish they still made this bag.

[@mysciencenow]

yeah its pretty much the exact same thing when i do all my mining trips... gotta bring everything...

[@Waldhandwerk]

...wow, great Doku! Cool Video.

[@modernhereticnw]

Thank you very much for all your videos. I'm in the PNW too, so I end up with a lot of the same gear. I'd love to know the name of that REI jacket if you can remember! Thanks!

[@tendimes]

I wasnt actually looking for a bag but now you have thinking about it. How much bigger is that 3-1 then the doppleduffer?

[@hinckleypoland]

@beast12101 the whole bag...lol. I know the ends sip off and you can make a murse/ pack but thats about it. I know its a simple design and all.. what are your thoughts on it...

[@WanderingBeast]

Im non gov. /private contract , so Im not quite sure, I doubt they would pay for the flight

[@GenKraid]

Great, great video, sir!

[@damaddjamaican]

Out of curiosity... Why use a duffle instead of a back pack?

[@WanderingBeast]

I never did weigh it, unless your crew is flying the 65 total weight limit is pretty mute.

[@Liftedwheelchair]

Cotton is a terrible choice of sock, wool all the way man. Get a few pairs of darn tough heavyweight full cushion merino wool socks

[@BushcraftOnTracks]

awesome video buddy!

[@WanderingBeast]

showers?, heck we only had 1 fire last year that had a true fire camp, rest of the time we were spiked out

[@joerackl]

What kind of anges pad was that. do you prefer that over thermarest?

[@Chicanoverland]

Great job

[@bjornpetersen6831]

I couldn't find this bag anywhere online I looked all over

[@AppalachianFreedom]

Very nice setup Sir! -- Although I would have needed to have packed way yonder more TP for 14 days! ;^{P>

[@Heavyweightking70]

Just curious, but did your crew ever have to actually hike in your red bags into spike camp? Or we're they always flown in?

[@oregonnich]

How many pounds total does your red bag add up to?

[@WanderingBeast]

I did at one time, I will see if I can find it

[@BNabs1]

I'm looking to get a similar bag to replace my red bag for work. did you have any trouble with taking this bag on flights due to its size? btw great videos

[@joeys7570]

Ya... he has time to write you back and respond 🙄🤣🤣....stupid lil boy

[@BadTomorrow]

Never use the showers... ...but if you do, flip flops/sandals are your friend.

[@TheGunna]

Does it have to be in a duffle bag? I’m about to start my first season and I just bought a 60L osprey hiking bag

[@WanderingBeast]

Nope what ever you need, government folks may have other restrictions

[@dexterlexter123]

what about a temperature gun

[@WanderingBeast]

@hinckleypoland im working on it today, anything you;d like to see?

[@Vladimir-JT]

I have applied for 2013 season. Are you with BLM? I did 5-10 of each agency on USA Jobs.gov (NPS,USDA, BLM,FWS...). What do I have to do now? How do I know if I got accepted or not? all that good stuff.... And do they pay for your flight if you have to travel? (ex. I live in Arizona and I get accepted to MT.) -Thanks, Vlad

[@campfirewhittler]

What boot wax do you use?

[@timgale8251]

what's the song in the beginning

[@Watchingyou-daily]

Which do you prefer mystery ranch hotshot or the coaxsher

[@WanderingBeast]

mystery ranch for hand crew, coaxsher for engines

[@GALVAN559]

How do i become a forestry fire fighter? Ive been trying to sign up but just keep getting re-routed. I am trying to be a sessional fire fighter. So i can strive to become a smoke jumper. Please get back to me as soon as possible 🙏🏼 i need to get my 🌹mom a tomb stone 🥀she deserves thank you 😊

[@WanderingBeast]

Are you in central Oregon?

[@GALVAN559]

No i live in California but im willing to relocate for awhile if thats what it takes to further my carrier 🤝🏽this is my next huge goal in life

[@WanderingBeast]

@@GALVAN559 apply with FS or Calfire or move to the pnw and seek out contractors

[@GALVAN559]

@@WanderingBeast ok thank you brotha i greatly appreciate it. I also herd about Bewer.Land.Managment but dont know to.much besides what my dad an brother told me.

[@WanderingBeast]

no real hiking with the red bags, most spike camps are accessed by our rigs via forest roads,etc

[@BadTomorrow]

Also, don't touch the rail on the dinner line.

[@406sean]

Nice!

[@Zipped1822]

whos you log of Cope ??????

[@Vladimir-JT]

what is the name of the song?

[@WanderingBeast]

danosongs -one foot in the grave

[@WanderingBeast]

@whispers221 only Obenauf

[@MTDZRB]

Just a Suggestion, You need more socks, and ditch those crappy shoe laces.

[@WanderingBeast]

huh

[@NDEfireONE]

Please just talk about the bag omg lol

[@kamikaze74zero]

(^o^)/ Nice vid.

[@NDEfireONE]

Hope those ain't Danners please don't ever buy Danners lol just saying I am interested in the bag

[@Xtragicfever]

"De-Mobed"? Just say you're out of the field. No need to wordsmith. It makes you sound like a cav-scout.

[@WanderingBeast]

de-mobed is the term we use when we are demobilized. opposite of mobilization when we get a contract to work a fire

[@Xtragicfever]

@@WanderingBeast I understand. You do you.
