[@bihbgm5858]

I like to see the fire fighting videos .Whatever you have time to do will be fine, Thank you Cody.

[@wranglerstar]

bihbgm I'll try to put more together for you bihbgm

[@Velisatra]

Videos with voiceovers I think.

[@nickwoo2]

[@RadarBoarder]

Your firefighting and forest stewardship videos are definetely my favourites. I think video with your naration would work well, but you can do as you want. Thank you for making all of your videos, I've learnt a lot. I'm so stoked that I stumbled across your channel a couple of years ago! Thank you so much from Australia! - Riley

[@wranglerstar]

Riley Honey Media Thank you Riley,

[@danielcarter5537]

This is awesome man, and y'all are awesome for doing this job! I live in Western North Carolina, and I can say that there are thousands of people here who are deeply grateful for the fire crews who came down from your neck of the woods, to help battle our wildfires last year. This whole area was a complete tinder box last Fall. Dozens of wildfires were burning throughout the mountains, many of them were intentionally set unfortunately, but those crews toughed it out for weeks and months to get the job done. You guys are great, because you selflessly stand in harm's way to protect homes and lives. Thanks for all you're doing and keep the videos coming.

[@CarolinaCharlie]

Love these clips and want to see more. Coming from an structural firefighter, I'm interested in seeing what you guys do in the field as wildland firefighters. Be safe out there to everyone working on a wildland fire. You guys are in my thoughts everyday.

[@cwsmith17]

Charles Vandergriff I'm also structural. My brother is wildland and told me that the path can change in an instant. God Bless brother!!

[@gocoastgaurd721]

Same here

[@GUERRILLACOMM]

This is the closest to a military operation there is, very similar. Perhaps a narrative and explanation of the ICS system that would not put us to sleep like the required certification courses for ICS. I see you already have the comm unit shown, you working in your division, perhaps a morning briefing. The ICS system is a good way to organize whatever, especially in prepping.

[@joewood1335]

***** well if isis didn't exist we wouldn't have to

[@GUERRILLACOMM]

***** Uumm, this is not an Alex Jones or a Rachel Maddow vid, or whatever flavor of political spectrum you represent. Stay focus on the theme of Wranglerstars vid without polluting it with some tangent that particularly does not apply. Then again to amuse you with a proper reply to your statement. "Most times, people need a killin.." I generally agree with who our govt. decide to to take out. Not politically correct but a reality we must consider.

[@azurbleu4335]

GUERRILLACOMM The means look pretty like the sames . But in that case , it's to protect lifes , properties & nature . Not to destroy Under false pretexts . Love VS Hate

[@forgenorth1444]

If we didn't have to, Isis wouldn't exist

[@mapearce1]

+GUERRILLACOMM LOL! ICS certification courses will always be boring! Been through the all! ICS 400 is a week of "fun"

[@jaredlandis2554]

Love this type of video plz keep them coming in whichever format works for you! God bless you for your service to your community!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I absolutely loved this footage Cody, and I'd love to see more! I think i'd enjoy seeing the footage just as presented here, but with added voice over, to explain what's happening! The footage was thrilling and action-packed, but I didn't know what was going on in some places! :-) Glad you're safe and sound my friend, and clearly having a ball!

[@countryheathen1834]

this was a great vid, I like just seeing what happens on a wildfire. in fact I'm wanting to do this for a career

[@dancarlin5434]

2:24 Like that F550 Brush truck.

[@GrantButler]

That seriously is awesome! I totally want one

[@preparedlife8859]

Dan Carlin I'd be fine with the Raptor lol.

[@dancarlin5434]

while nice to drive, Raptor's cant haul or tow nearly as much as a F550 Diesel.

[@caseyjacobson6568]

I LOVE the WFF videos. I'd like to see a mix of both commentary and what was presented in this video. We don't have this on the west coast so it's fantastic to see this.

[@MrPinkytron]

The way this was laid out is perfect. I like the idea of some voiceover as well for extra details. Love seeing what goes into wildland firefighting; this sort of content will inspire others to persue this line of work. Keep it up!

[@TomLeg]

I worked isolations camps in northern Quebec, Canada ... the nipple that sticks down from James bay, constructing a highway to the north, back in 1973/74. We had a major fire to the east, that turned the sky dark and foggy, the sun was just an orange blob. Definitely love to see more. I like voice-overs, cause the audio explains a little, buit there's a lot more to know, that the man-on-the-spot can explain.

[@wranglerstar]

+Tom Legrady thanks

[@jimmartin9997]

+Wranglerstar Amazing footage on the day to day life of those unsung heroes risking life and limb for the sake of others.

[@kierennicholson6654]

+Wranglerstar Why were you starting fires at the start

[@wolfwilliamson5968]

+Kieren Nicholson it is called a fire break or fire line I am a hotshot crew member

[@kierennicholson6654]

Ok thanks

[@landykid]

commentary sounds good and I must say I really like this video

[@caseyjacobson6568]

Cody I have been watching your amazing channel for enough years now that right after Christmas I always begin to anticipate the fire season coming. I LOVE these videos.

[@Mainekt3]

Cody, thanks so much for showing us what you and your brave friends do to save the forests, farms, homes, wildlife and communities. My wife and I would like to see you chat with the people behind the scenes. We have no idea as to the amount of volunteers and the work they do to support you brave fire fighters. God bless you and your work.

[@mudpitranch3726]

I realize I'm "late to the party" on this video but DANG! Good on you sir for putting your ass on the line like that.

[@joseguzman2950]

its fun stuff out there

[@neelthehuman3548]

What should I say now... I'm even later.

[@heathenwolf4997]

"You gotta eat fast and when you can here" sounds like my old job as a dish washer...

[@Wrenchesandrods]

I would love to see more, but I'll leave it up to you on how to present it! You haven't disappointed me yet!

[@harveynicholson1870]

i love these videos cody! your work as a wildland firefighter is one of the things i admire most, i appreciate the explanation beacuse i dont have a totally comprehensive understanding of it all, but im really interested in it so please share more!

[@mikegomm3625]

Love to see more footage, I am well aware that editing takes time, so raw footage with the odd comment or text over would be great. We are not expecting a Hollywood production as you have a life to live as well.

[@rogerselsoe]

1. more please ;) 2. explaining, storytelling, voice over (NOT JUST PICS) video preferred ;) 3. giving the guy a burrito and dishwashing the showel, the comment about "how much does it cost to put tires on this thing" etc thumbs up

[@1moreuser]

Cody I really enjoy these type of videos and I love the format that you have for this one. The simple straightforward explanation of what is going on in the video is wonderful. Please do more wildland firefighting videos!

[@heritagehomestead5505]

Absolutley, keep em coming Cody! A little voice over is great too. As a volunteer fire fighter in southern Alberta, I enjoy seeing others in the field too. Great job on your videos, I enjoy them all.

[@geedubb2005]

Glad you're home safe. Thanks for doing that job. About the only thing I'd be good at nowadays is running the dozer.

[@GoRogue84]

Regardless of format, the passion will speak for itself :)

[@mikelynch6041]

Would love to see more. I like the voiceover format explaining what goes on. You provide an amazing service to your community.

[@garypaulsen1350]

I get the most info and a feeling of what you are experiencing with the videos you are providing. Thanks for what you are doing. I am an ex-firefighter -retired- so it's a joy to be able to be on scene with you.Gary

[@Femmpaws]

I'm not sure this would be the best job for me... But for you it works very well. I don't know what is the best format for posting videos like this Cody. Telling a story with the video is a good way of doing it, but at times stills or video clips with voice over would be a better way depending on the clips. All day the sky here has had a red cast to it I'm guessing it's from all the smoke from the fires over there.

[@jerryprewett5294]

yes show more and voice over will answer alot of questions before we start asking

[@pickerick1]

Do both Cody ! Some voice-over with slideshows. wranglerstar

[@gannibootis]

I like this format for the willard firefighting videos. Love seeing the incredible equipment used to battle these fires. Keep it coming Cody.

[@davidoyama9753]

This video is great ! I think that the format or the way you are filming is good. I think that you are a natural when it comes to making us feel like we are right there with you. Keep safe and wish that all of the fires up in Oregon are controlled soon. Thanks again Cody !

[@mbigatti]

Dear sir, I find wildland firefighting extremely interesting and would love to see more. I live in an area where there are extreme fires every year (I-80 corridor in California) and have great admiration for all you guys who fight them. Thank you for what you do, and may God protect you!

[@Irwin-Aviation]

Sling thermometer for temp and dew point?

[@wranglerstar]

The Hoosier Homesteader yes

[@aeroaggie]

The Hoosier Homesteader sling psychrometer

[@dongemus]

"The RH" Relative Humidity?

[@mduvigneaud]

Don Gemus Yeah, that's right. Low RH is bad in terms of fire fighting and fire control.

[@Irwin-Aviation]

the closer the dew point spread the more likely for visible precipitation. just a guess.

[@dylanvanpelt4988]

love your videos wranglerstar, as a wildland firefighter I like being able to show my friends/family what I do in the summer. thanks!

[@leadpersuasion]

Would love to see more, Cody, in a voice over, story format. It's pretty amazing what you guys accomplish out there with limited resources.

[@courtneymellinger9274]

wranglerstar,what was that tool you were spinning to check the weather??

[@wranglerstar]

Courtney Mellinger It's called a belt weather kit,

[@jonathonbahrychuk2486]

Why do you need to record the weather. What's it used for? Great videos. Keep them coming!

[@courtneymellinger9274]

I just Googled it, pretty interesting tool. I would be interested in seeing a video on how to use it. Thanks for your reply

[@mattmellinger7234]

Courtney Mellinger interesting. We have the same odd last name

[@RocklandRednecks]

wranglerstar In Alberta wild land firefighting we use a little digital contraption called a kestrel you should check them out, pretty slick does your Temperature RH and wind speed. Pretty cool to see your different methods of fighting fire. We have an abundance of water here makes it a lot easier. Looks like you are in different fuel types also, we mostly have aspen and spruce. Heres the link: kestrelmeters.com/products/kestrel-3000-wind-meter Id like to see more for sure! Cheers from the North!

[@CrowdControl123]

How about those DC-10 pilots...? KA-RAY-ZEE~!

[@kevinc.8869]

Low n slow!

[@treasureseekerintheway3515]

Loved this video, Your voice overs are also enjoyable. Mix it up :) Thank you for sharing, it is a nice change of pace, and great to see you doing something you really enjoy and are passionate about!

[@charleswatson1218]

You are doing a great service thank you, The videos are exactly like they should be and when we see thru your eyes all you do be it fighting fires or building a cabin we trust you to give the content the way you see it, if you feel like adding music or if you explain what is going on You're the director and that's how we want to witness your vision.

Nope. Not the best job in the world. But possibly the best job in the world...for you. You couldn't pay me to do it.

Really? Wow. Still interested in seeing more, but I'm not going to sign up.

[@fritsvandijk9905]

Pádraig Floyd i actualy did it for free in canada

[@dpow9809]

Pádraig Floyd To each his own, some guys are born blue collar some are born white collar. I just wish they got paid more equally.

[@dpow9809]

Quinn Wood Generally speaking Blue collar earns less than White collar. Yea I know, I knew a mechanic who made well over 100k a year. But the rest of the shop was no where near him.

[@dpow9809]

Quinn Wood Basically because no one wants to do Blue collar jobs anymore, therefore there are more spots open for a job out of high school or college. Many who get very specified degrees often have to work at a restaurant for months because they can't find a job in their field, not that they won't make more right away...

[@bubbalove765]

MORE voice over inside the FIRE bubba

[@Scablands_Scavenger]

Cool video. For some weird reason all I could think of is how awesome Washington state is. From blow sand dunes, orchards of all varieties, Massive wheat farms the columbia river, ocean shores , rain forrests, evergreen forrests, petrified forrests, arid scablands, the palous area, glaciers... I think we just about check all the blocks. What a neat place to live......... and work I guess !!

[@randyhood4165]

I would love to see more. Do it like you did this one...spot on!! Thanks for your service in doing a dangerous, job to help others. My son is a full time fireman in catoosa county Georgia. He loves it!

[@jamiefraser-paige78]

Yes, tell us more. A mix of video w/o voice-over and narrated footage explaining stuff would be ideal. I have a friend who is a PIO who works wildland fires out of Colorado who has been up in your neck of the woods. I hear stories from him, but your always clear and well-edited video would help to understand what happens on a fireground. Thanks to you and the other firefighters for all that you do.

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

I know these are 3 years old, but they are all new to me! Thanks for the videos, and sharing your life online!

[@Jayadams2004]

I love wild land fire videos! Keep bringing them along. The more info the better?

[@myvrod7931]

Wow, I so appreciate you bringing your world to mine. All your video's ROCK in my opinion, I always learn something... For these, the voice over is the most informative. Thanks to you and all involved.

[@Petyr682]

I just found your channel a few days ago! Started with my investigation into looking after my new chainsaw etc. and it's so interesting to see how you work as a forestry firefighter and run the homestead! Great content, thanks - Peter from Ireland

[@bgrizz1000]

I like it. Please continue to share. In any format you want. I watch your channel cause you're good at it. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@MartinLopez-ys5dm]

That's fantastic in itself. Your editing skills are off the hook! Thank you.

[@jasonwork1823]

I was a volunteer firefighter for 17 years. We was a rural fire department, but it was mostly flat land. I like seeing the videos with the challenges that you face when fighting these fires in the mountains.

[@matthewsbernier]

There is no amount of detail you could go into that would be too much for me. Glad you're safe and rested!

[@guitarmike1968]

Definitely interested would love to see more of this. I completely enjoy watching this. I know it's an old video. But I think a voice over with a bit of explaining of why on a few things. Good Stuff. I really enjoy and appreciate your chanel.

[@OpaKnows]

Definitely show more information, in live as-it-happens format, and with commentary. We here in Vancouver are suffering with the smoke and ash from the fire at Pemberton. It's like nothing I've ever experienced. It certainly gives one instant empathy for those in the interior of the provinces and states that have to deal with this almost yearly. Thank the Lord for the marine winds coming in to blow the smoke and ash away from us. Ee sre very blessed to live where we do. Glad you are safe, Wstar.

[@MrDieseltwitch]

I would love to see more of this! Videos, videos & Voice over! Especially explaining the tools and techniques you use in different areas

[@hubshooter]

wranglerstar I'd like you to tell us about your past week in as much detail as possible, just like all of your other videos. Please spare nothing, this is incredibly interesting and I have already learned several things from this video alone. Thanks for all you do Cody. You have taught me to find love in hard work and everything I do.

[@GrantButler]

Agreed! You have a great way of presenting everything in all of your videos Cody.

[@MrCbrady19133]

Happy to see you safe and home. Love to see more vids of your fire fighting adventure any formate is fine with me you do a great job editing them either way.

[@everwharesismine]

Id like to see more, video voice over with crew conversation mixed in and explanations of not only what the big picture is but also the "why fors and how comes." Understanding your shift operation, duty calls and training would be wonderful too. Yours is a dangerous job, I appreciate what you do and I thank you for bringing me along.

[@firefightingemt41]

i love all of your videos from homesteading to the hotshot vids. as a wildland firefighter my self i would love to see a channel dedicated to your deployments. keep up the good work brother.

[@danjw3359]

I think having a story line of the day and explaining the way you do with your other wranglerstar videos would be best. I like how you showed the little things you did (feeling the soil for heat, the turning the hot soil) and the tests you had to do (the wetness in the air and dryness). The other thing I thought was cool is you showing the pieces where they were trying to save people's land or what looked like crops.

[@idopyrotechnics]

Id love to see more videos on the wild land firefighting its intriguing for me to watch and its always interesting to hear the different technics used to fight forest fires not just putting them out but lighting smaller controlled fires to prevent the spread which I find ingenious. Have a good one, Benjamin

[@Duane77able]

Do more of this however you want. You always do a great job. Looking forward to it!

[@andrewkline]

It's definitely information and experience that isn't common knowledge. I think it's great to put it out there, and personally, I feel like I might enjoy this too! Plenty of action footage, and any explanation of strategy or planning/execution and so on would really round it out.

[@thenorthwestpreppers4457]

Truly amazing... thanks for the service you give Mr. Cody!

[@jamespalmer3401]

Cody, I liked this format, it felt kind of raw and real. As well as this being some of the coolest footage I've seen

[@brannenbray7878]

I love the fire fighting videos Cody! I just got off of the Rocky fire here in California and had to start catching up on the videos I missed!

[@josephburkhalter5105]

Cody...just like you’re doing. Like most people my knowledge of fighting western fires consists of watching a column of smoke sometimes with an airplane dumping chemicals. This view of the fighters on the ground is absolutely fascinating. It is like a war zone. The logistics are overwhelming. Please don’t stop filming and talking over the film. America needs to see all of this. GOD bless you, your efforts to inform us and the other fire fighters. We will put you on our church prayer list. Praying for your success and your safety. Joe B. Hertford, NC

[@TheBramanteChronicles]

Definitely want to see more. I actually like both formats. Love the footage with the music and you could take breaks to explain the interesting stuff.

[@gus1911]

This format was perfect! Thanks for sharing!

[@randymusick3645]

PLEASE put up more videos like these. I am retired with a disability now but I spent 43 years in aviation. The first half was in the ground service of aviation. We had a smoke jumper base and a tanker base at our airport. I have dealt with and serviced almost every part of fighting wildfires. But I was never able to see the actual front lines so please put up more.

[@Kay-ki7qs]

I am new to your channel, but I love watching these videos. It's always nice to see how they do things in a different part of the U.S. I don't think a whole lot of people understand this part of firefighting.

[@crazethedave]

When I was a kid growing up my dad was the manager for a cdf/firetrol air base,and watching those planes come in and out and how fast they would get them filled up with retardant was phenomenal,I really commend guys like you and the pilots fighting the fires.

[@algreen1]

I'd absolutely love to see more! My grandfather was a firefighter who sadly passed away 3 years ago from asbestos lung cancer he picked up while on the job. All of this footage strikes a real chord in me, especially when you talk about what it takes to be a firefighter and your values. I enjoy all the gear related stuff and the impressive trucks too. That plane footage was awesome! Hard to say what the best way to present it is but I think you have a lot of content to make your next video(s) with. Narration is good but so is this. Nice insight into calculating the relative humidity too, I was just learning about relative and absolute humidity yesterday. What is the metal device you swung around called? Best wishes, David.

[@mcconn27]

Definitely want to see more. As the format... Include both. Longer scenes with voiceover including some on the scene live conversations. Keep up the good work Mr. W. I love this channel.

[@Runehorn]

The beginning of the video was an awesome little montage! I for one would love to see more, I would not mind some parts explaining what is going on, I like learning about new things

[@bigcountry30662]

Love those videos Cody, keep em coming just like this one was is good, our department just got one of the old military trucks like the one in the video I think it was #70, cant wait to get ours in service

[@RCRidgecrestQuality]

Very nice video! As I watched, I was working on my Stanley Blade getting some rust off of it by grinding it on some wet dry sand paper and your video was so good that I got distracted and cut my self on the blade! It was a deep cut! Kinda like the axe cut you had in one of your videos. This made me realize that I need to focus on 1 task at a time, especially when it's dealing with a sharp blade and I was also learned that I am not well prepared for minor or severe cuts. Thanks for this learning experience Cody. I have learned from my mistake.

[@DallasHuybregts]

I would love to see more of the firefighting and the voice-over would be awesome!

[@markduell691]

Awesome AWESOME! Keep them coming. Whatever format you think Cody. I liked the way you did this one. Glad your back home safe.

[@byerboys2607]

Man I love wild land stuff just can't get enough of it thanks for sharing your adventures during the fires it's addictive for sure

[@wizardkot2052]

This is a seriously good video and I would love the commentary you mentioned. Keep up the good work Cody and stay safe.

[@corycottrell4811]

Just stumbled upon your channel. i really have enjoyed every single video. you honestly have the life I've always dreamed of! keep the videos coming please and thank you.

[@MrKtm536]

I think it is very interesting because i live in central PA and just started working for our Bureau of Forestry and am now scheduling my training to fight wildland fires. I hope to be heading out west next spring to help out and maybe even make it a full time career. Just from watching your videos on it i know for sure i want to do it in the future. I like the way you put the images together keep up the great videos ! -Kurt

[@Pamudder]

As an old fire horse long out to pasture, I love this stuff. I find your voiceovers very well done and very informative.

[@chrislivingston2036]

the dispatch voice over was a cool touch, very well put together video, probably my new favorite of your vids.

[@wyattoneable]

It was great editing as is. I like the quick shots highlighting the interesting stuff. Like the military, you have access to some nice toys!

[@ethanwelshon]

I would love to see more wildland stuff. Stories and footage/photos. More advice and info about becoming a wildland firefighter as well. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@kylehondarider]

I appreciate the uploads, this was a great video format, maybe add some voiceovers for parts that most people would not be familiar with. This is one of my favorite channels and I learn something new in every video!

[@subbstevie]

you provide a great service,i was a rescue air/medical paramedic for 30 years,i grew up on a 300 acre cattleranch,helped many a farmer put out wildfires on thousands of acres putting out wildfires with hoses,wet brooms,towsacks,never did forests,but had many areas of trees and cresote fence posts.

[@subbstevie]

Steve Nash and when they got hit by tornadoes

[@jhodges37096]

I am loving the vlogging of the firefighting! I haven't seen wildfire work except for documentaries. It's cool to see it from a first person view!

[@dsquires16]

Voice over and explaining things is good. Love to hear more. Video stories in the mix is great as well.

[@fatboystires]

Very cool...I like the idea of voice over explaining what is going on and what you are doing. Just found your channel a week or so ago but very educational regardless of the subject matter.

[@MrTgordy1]

I loved it. Put that footage to good use and share with it with us brother. Reminded me of my tours over seas interestingly enough.

[@rltkktlr]

That's awesome! A combination of what you just did, and some voice over explaining. Thanks

[@heartlandtrapping3194]

Whatever Wild-land footage you put together in any format will be viewed by our family,this flat lander from Missouri is waiting for deployment out west. Your videos help show my wife and boy a little of what it's like! as always thanks for the videos God bless and praying for you and your family

[@rusdom]

I think this stuff is super interesting. It's compelling enough without voice over, but some here or there might be fun too. Really great stuff! Keep it up! 👍

[@deathbot10000]

Stories, how to's, why's, all of the above! Your fire videos have me going nuts wanting to get into it!

[@onemindAnyweap0n]

This is super cool! Would love to see more videos like this. I like the idea of the voice over. Also maybe even a video explaining more about the job, how you got there, etc. Maybe you already have a video like that. I'll have to check

[@BMW3ICS]

YES would love to see more! especially in video format, slides are more confusing and draw more questions. i'm also just as interested in the sort of "behind the scenes" as much as the front line action. where are the trucks getting water and fuel, where and how do you get back to base camp or do you stay out in the field. who calls in and directs the helicopters and planes? all this is very fascinating to me. where i am on the east coast there aren't many wildfires and if there is they aren't on that large a scale.
