digging these war bag videos!

[@Ddabig40mac]

so, Cody, I saw a great tip for inflating those cushy airbeds. unfold your drum liner, shake it open and fill the wide mouth bag with air. gather the top of the bag like you're gonna tie it off with the air inside. Then squeeze the air out of the drum liner into the mattress. Saves a lot if wear and tear on your diaphram.

[@SuperAragoon]

Sunto is Finnish i have an mc2 on my cruising vest always

[@ParkerEnglert]

+Gregory O'Krafka I got a Suunto Core, love it!

[@michaeldougfir9807]

+California Pat // Isn't this brand name pronounced like SOON-TOW? In my cruiser crew that's how we said it.

[@PetriJarvenpaa]

+Michael Dougfir More like SOON-TO, anyway thats how finns pronounce the name of this Finnish company. But close enough.

[@sstorholm]

+Michael Dougfir It's pronounced SOON-TOW, but the W would be silent.

[@joshuadowden981]

suunto not sunto

[@austinjordison]

I am loving the interesting dynamic between you two in these war bag videos. Can't wait for the next one.

[@jeepkkidd9697]

These war bag videos are amazing. Keep up the good work Cody.

[@JonesPeresPeanut]

Thank you for doing this series. The purpose-built logic of your packing and gear selection, and how well it's explained is awesome. Even though I'll likely never get into Wildland Firefighting, many of your gear selections and packing methods reach beyond your purposes. I'll be repacking my car's winter kit from what I've picked up from this series. Thank you Cody.

[@wranglerstar]

+Shawn Jones Thank you Shawn.

[@ryefry]

Really enjoying this series, and I hope you bring your friend in on some other videos. You two have a good "on camera" chemistry, makes the jokes come that much easier. Looking forward to the next video.

[@Spunky2268]

I posted it on video 1 of this series, but I'll say it again. Thank you both, Cody, for putting these together. There is priceless information to be found here, and not just about the gear. The "war stories" and side talk are valuable lessons that can make any of us safer, more productive, and more comfortable on our next deployment. Now, to wade through the comments to find more valuable nuggets of wisdom...

[@mastertohn]

Such a cool series. I like the editing during the start of the videos. Great info and explaining.

[@probablynathan]

I just want to say that I really enjoyed this series of videos. The friendship of the two of you and your banter makes this very enjoyable to watch. Cheers from Australia.

[@wanderingcalamity360]

This series has been awesome! Y'all two are a trip and this had been incredibly informative and insightful. Thanks for this.

[@mcrae000]

Ha-ha, you should of called it war bag pillow talk. You and Allen talking about y'alls pillows cracked me up.

[@bjt3150]

These are awesome little series. Would love to see more of them. Stuff like a detailed view of what you keep in your truck packs. Things like what you keep around the homestead. Just a bit of everything

[@themakersapprentice6041]

I am binge watching to catch up on 2.5 years worth of content since my wife passed. Thank you for all you do Cody. Love these video with you two. Great stuff. Really appreciate the friendship that I see. God bless you and your wonderful family.

[@bboystance514]

i really like this series! I want more!

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Lots of good ideas concerning gloves. And grommets! I already do that to my cruiser vest, partly to dispense flagging from a roll in the pocket; also because we tie things to ourselves too, to have a place on each vest lapel for attaching compass, etc.

[@topthrilljoester]

Thank-you for the tips and ideas from these war bag videos. I'm a LT on a structural fire department and a keyman for the DNR in Michigan actively trying to start a career out west as a wildland firefighter.

[@turnersparadise8368]

You got your money's worth from this series. Kind of like a little mini season of Wranglerstar warbag special. How's the remodel coming?

[@benroth8873]

I have absolutely been loving these videos. thanks for the enjoyable content.

[@cowsofsuffolk2297]

I'm seriously laughing out loud watching this video. The conversation between you two is killing me! "Can you show me where the pea is?"

[@alanm.thornton4055]

+COWs of Suffolk Thank you for getting that one..... talk about obscure reference! Guess not many remember that Anderson story from when we were kids!

[@alanm.thornton4055]

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!!

[@50StichesSteel]

Have you guys ever considered using drones at work? I feel like that would be an invaluable asset to have on that job

[@jiamewoods1531]

With all the aircraft in the air they are covered not only with support craft they also have planes and hilos just for eyes

[@50StichesSteel]

+jiame woods Yeah I get that, but it would be much cheaper, faster, and more handy to have the ability to get a quick view of the area for yourself..Sometimes things get lost in translation

[@50StichesSteel]

VTGoPro Thats not the reality today at all. Competition has brought prices way down. Reliability has never been a problem for me

[@goodnessgodfrey5334]

+jiame woods Cody did mention that air support isn't a guarantee.

[@50StichesSteel]

***** People always say that but birds are more of a danger to aircraft then light drones. You have a guy trained specifically to do that job with an assistant watching and listening to air traffic..Too easy

[@jeffreyarmstrong2800]

You guys are GREAT!!!Thank y'all.

[@cdg8850]

fun and informative thank you guys! cant wait for the next one!

[@cromotocciano]

This little series was amazingly interesting aswell as funny. You two work great as a duo.

[@pjculbertson55]

This was an incredibly interesting series. When i saw the first one, i thought i would watch a few minutes and move on but i quickly got hooked and watched them all. The grommet trick is a great idea..

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Great series, loved it. Thanks for posting it.

[@caskwith]

I live in the UK so wildland fires are very rare and usually deliberate anyway as part of land managment. I had no interest in firefighting at all. That being said I have found this series of videos absolutely fascinating, thank you to both of you for taking the time to do this.

[@SettingBrushfires]

I have really enjoyed the two of you together doing these. Nice job, guys!

[@jonathanorr6786]

I feel like a little kid waiting on something to arrive in the mail when checking for the last couple videos to come up on here. This series of videos is awesome! Maybe I am a little biassed being a firefighter as well but from way over in Ohio its still a pretty fun series!

[@wranglerstar]

+Jonathan Orr Thank you Jonathan.

[@finlandfarm1674]

Enjoyed the series. Even though it doesn't apply to my career field, your explanations on why you use/pack certain items gave me ideas that would help me at my job.

[@QALibrary]

great set of videos - thank you for sharing

[@kylebell8105]

You should totally do a 10 things to pack on your first season in 10 mins vid! Love ur war bag series

[@scooter041031]

My uncle was in the NC forestry service and he loved going and fighting the fires. I don't know how high up he was but do know towards the end of his career he would go all over the US and was more in a role of logistics getting people and equipment where it needed to be. But seeing all this stuff reminds me of all the bags and stuff he has.

[@wjf213]

I'm really enjoying this series. I'm not sure if you know or if its been said in the comments already, but when you need to inflate your air matress, a quick and easy way to do it is to take a plastic garbage bag, and spin it around and fill it with air, and then wrap the opening around your air matress inflater hole and just squeeze all the air from the garbage bag into your air matress. Do that as many times as you need to get the matress filled 95% and then blow it up to however firm you want it if you still need it filled more. I learned this trick back in the 80's when I was in the infantry in the military when we, on the VERY rare times, used our air matress which we called a p*ssy pad. Keep up the great work.

[@cuttheknot4781]

Using a voice recorder app on your phone is a great backup to your note taking. Great video, thank you

[@kendallhatton7601]

I am totally with Cody on the heat regulation with the feet, i personally use a quilt with a gathered adjustable closure end and a closure for the bottom 18 inches or so length wise. it has many ways of helping with thermo-regulation.

[@chaseb913]

Really enjoying this series Cody. Extremely interesting to me to see the gear you use in your career . Hope there is more of this . Also would love to see the f250 brake caliper replacement part 2 ... Keep up the great work Cody ! You and your family are awesome!

[@bigfoot-wo3qy]

Love these gear videos. Thank you very much!

[@chefdan87]

The last ship i worked on i was a designated phone talker for a damage control team. I learned quickly a quality pen that you can count on is necessary. When the stuff hits the fan information comes pouring down from the bridge and it is critical to instruct the team and firefighters every detail correctly or peoples lives could be at stake. The weekly drills can be tedious at times but the one time we had a real fire it was amazing to see how all that training paid off with no injuries and saving the ship.

[@ZASurvivalist]

I have really liked the series and Im very intrigued about your line of work

[@AZ-Patriot]

I would suggest that you guys don't store your sleeping bags compressed like that. You should hang them up in a closet unless you're about to head out with them. Once the insulation gets compressed for too long you'll lose your heat retention. It'll get to the point of being just a slightly fluffy blanket.

[@jeremybrua5523]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@yotersmitt]

+AZ Patriot Unless they're a 'Wiggy's' brand name (sleeping) bag. Otherwise good observation. "Take care of your gear & it will take care of you."

[@jeremiahkoontz274]

Actually, their sleeping bags are made to be compressed so that exact thing doesn't happen.

[@ttss5726]

+AZ Patriot no to mention I'm pretty sure there is no shortage of heat where these guys are using them if you catch the pun behind the comment

[@matthewvaughn7045]

+AZ Patriot I agree. However I don't know how quickly they have to respond, it may be immediate. If there is just a few minutes to spare I would store it loose.

[@trevorthrift3121]

Big fan of the space pen, I have the same one. Great video, thanks.

[@aeroaggie]

I love this video series Cody! Keep it up!

[@elneno82]

Thanks for all the information and stories shared on this series. I really enjoyed it. Please, can you make a specific video for work gloves care? Greetings from Argentina

[@wildcat19671]

To keep your gloves from shrinking and getting hard, you can smoke them with cool smoke for several hours. The smoke stops them from getting hard and helps a lot with the shrinking problem.

[@mikeandmaryinmt3898]

Right on about gloves shrinking when they get wet either from water or sweat. I always buy them one size larger. Didn't realize they stretch the leather before they cut the pattern. Good info, thanks. And Obenauf's is heaven on dry, cracked hands. Slather it on your mitts and push 'em into your gloves. Ahhhhh - Calgon take me away!!! And it is not greasy when you need to pull your hand out to do something.

[@hunterdeem258]

I like this series. More this style would be great.

[@s1dthesl0th]

hey cody loving this series

[@josiahgastineau7491]

I am loving these videos! Keep them coming!

[@wranglerstar]

+Josiah Gastineau Thank you.

[@aahill26]

I love the war bag videos

[@TruckerJDub]

I've been working my way through this series while I'm on the treadmill at the gym after weight training and I have two comments. First, thank you Wranglerstar for these long videos. I know how hard long videos are on your Internet situation. Second, The more I watch Allen the more he reminds me of Ryan Stiles from Who's Line is it Anyway. I don't know why but that's where my mind goes. He either needs his own channel or to be on this one more.

[@BC4Lyphe]

I agree with Cody about regulating body heat by sticking a foot or 2 out of the sleeping bag but I use a mummy bag. Mine has a double zipper and I just slip my foot out the slit.

[@Losvatoslocos]

I have the Q-core SL my self. For my backpacking adventures. It's super comfortable and unbeatable so far. Even with my ultra light set up I take it with me. I have lighter blow up pads and classic foam pads. Those other mats may be lighter and fairly good but just don't have level of comfort I get from the Q-core SL. The extra few ounces are unnoticeable ..hell even if it was an extra LB.. Just not waking up that extra 1 or 2 times during the night make it worth wild.

[@BernFya]

-chest pack or radio harness, I prefer the smallest for less sweat -Silva compass preferred with the gravity degree needle to use as a clinometer (convert °to % slope) but mostly used for tree height estimates -Rite-In-Rain works great with pencil -try retractable Sharpie and Highlighters -great glove talk. always suspected gloves are made to wear out (they want you to keep buying them) cheap ones made in China have short thumbs and long pinkies -Redbag/war bag I'm familiar with PG bag (personal gear) -many preferences (like princess pillows-so long as it doesn't take up valuable space) but quality and quantity sleep is vital in our line of work earplugs)

[@jeffreyvanderhorst223]

just keeps getting better👍👍

[@KeithDavid12M92Y]

NWCG still publishes the Incident Commander's Orgainzer. You can download the PDF version for free or order copies of it from the NWCG. There's several versions out there that have been modified to meet the needs of local FMO's and agencies.

[@tjsyam921]

I've always used shaving cream after I get my leather gloves wet and they get crusty. Softens them right back up.

[@billythekid5210]

Hey, loved this series! I'd love to see your setup for your structural gear. In my area we run about 98% structural calls, just to see your setup and thought process behind it.

[@jackclare8969]

the longer videos are great cody :-)

[@meelas010]

Love the pillow deal

[@evilfish456]

I hope there is part 4!

[@ttschott]

33:07 is the best face ive ever seen

[@robertnowakowski5922]

Check out Bertucci watches. The watch case is one piece titanium with no pins to fall out.

[@joshmartinez4240]

Like these videos a lot

[@AKseries1]

Hopefully you didn't lose that Marathon SAR that you use to wear. I'd cry for that watch if j ever lost mine. Amazing vid probably the best war bag vid on KZbin out today. It's definitely some awesome footage since we've been going into day 3 already. Can't wait for part 4.

[@medicduckster]

i think you touched on it in passing but don't forget to obenauf the inside of glove. treat out side of glove then turn glove inside out, use better halves wooden spoon to help with the fingers, and treat the inside (that is now on the out side). once done, then wear glove much nicer. can sew leather grommet instead of metal won't get hot

[@crmchale]

I had to chuckle about the hot embers in the glove reference, to this day I have a scar on the back of my hand, you guessed it hot ember inside the glove. I kept thinking, it'll go out, it'll go out, eventually I ripped the glove off as it didn't go out, like I said, permanent scar on the back of my hand. But then again, I've heard that "Chicks dig scars", with my luck, they're talking about baby chickens. Keep up the good work Cody & Alan, and I'll keep watching.

[@johnjohnson4240]

LOVE the war bag vids!!!!!! ......just passed the 10 day sp100 course so this summer i should be fighting fires in ontario and across canada ......cant wait to start

[@johnjohnson4240]

+John Johnson i like the dynamic between cody and his buddy...sorry have not got the name yet

[@joguilbert3646]

+John Johnson It's Alan M. Thornton

[@nathantonning]

"Alan and Cody", the new fashion and accessory channel!

[@evilfish456]

Little piece of information: Suunto is derived from word suunta (Finnish) which means direction or azimuth.

[@lmaoroflcopter]

re:sleeping bags. My mummy style bag (though i'm not a massive fan of the whole close in thing either) has a "footbox" with its own zipper on one side and a compression cinch cord at the top of it while still retaining the full length zipper on the opposite side (so you can still get in and out easily) to do exactly as you say and allow you to regulate your temperature. it's freaking awesome and well over 15 years old now cost a small fortune at the time but quality kit is always worth investing in. Think its called an Ajungilak Nordic Super can't even find information on it its that old :D

[@dionlindsay2]

I like how they carry spares for other people. They're not bashful about it, it's just what they do. Obviously they can't be sentimental. It just makes sense or it's part of the code or whatever...

[@bert26a]

At the end of your video when you were cooking burrito's for your comrade you had a small type 6 or 7 wildland engine, I was wondering if you would be able to make a video of what you keep on those engines? Last summer I almost went and bought a 2,000 gallon water tank truck that I was going to modify for fighting wildland fires as a contractor in B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

[@tinyphantazma]

Suunto is actually Finnish, Made in Finland ;) Rough translation would be direction

[@cowsofsuffolk2297]

"Plutonium"!!! Your the man Uber!!

[@alanm.thornton4055]

+COWs of Suffolk I do what I can. :)

How is the kitchen living room remodel going. Would be really nice to see a update of it.

[@wranglerstar]

I always use a Suunto for scuba diving.

[@johnocoldani]

Cody, you’re the biggest nerd ever, and I love it!

[@idopyrotechnics]

Hey Cody, I also have love the field notes brand and noticed your waterproof paper notebook, have you seen field notes water proof notebook, I love mine and I've even used it when I've gone scuba diving!

[@fatmikeSauce]

YES! 3 dinners in a row

[@joshc154]

+Wranglerstar I would love if you listed some of these items from this series in your Amazon store so that you could get some credit when I buy it. :D

[@duanechaney5465]

Maybe a list of the bags that they use as well.

[@MrMunch-xw9fn]

thank you fo pdf maps tip!

[@gocoastgaurd721]

Our million dollar radio system failed (again!) and we ended up operating off of our iPhones for like, an hour and a half while dispatched figured out that it was ok for us to use the bypass frequency on the radios to dispatch and operate with. Of course we were investigating a bunch of smoking electrical motors in a mall and it was when we needed it most!

[@Flyingscottyman]

37 minutes long.... A Wranglerstar record? Keep them coming, Cody!

[@shaolindreams]

Sunnto make nice GPS watches. Very interesting series you guys did a great job.

[@bowshott007]

whwat are the things that i NEED to buy before getting on the fireline? im still looking for the IRPG, Ive got a lot of stuff from camping and Boy Scouts but noting fire specific

[@Nicklyft]

I love Alan.

[@wanderingcalamity360]

The android version of PDF Maps is apparently now called "Avenza Maps - Offline Mapping". If y'all hadn't said who produced it, I would have had no idea that it had undergone a name change.

[@Chizbolt]

So I'm fairly curious. What is your opinion on preventatives towards wildfires compared to combative measures? Would you rather see a continued focus on combative means, despite the consequences it brings, or preventative means, despite the surgical handling of overforesting in certain areas? What do you prefer?

[@WarBerJr02]

What you say about maps strikes a resonating cord with me. I am kinda surprised that you don't have copies of the Washington State hwy map in your kit. I have my state's hwy map stored in an AutoCAD document, and I can print out an 11x17, 8.5 x 11, or legal map of any area at almost any time.

[@surfinstylenumber1]

Soon-toe (suunto) made in South Africa. Check out the Suunto Core (watch) I've seen some Wildland guys use 'em.

[@Rogers1911]

Well, I was getting a little disappointed when you didn't upload for a few days, but then you upload three 35 minute videos in a row. I am satisfied.

[@DereksVersion]

haha do you have any idea how long I've waited for you to say what clip on compass that was?? I had no idea you could just buy them separately from the band, also i'm glad you mentioned the pen to go with rite in the rain books i had issues with running ink before!

[@genesmith9786]

that was the best way I have seen somebody cook food on the job lol. have to remember that one. good stuff!

[@jcrefasi1]

been done that way for a very long time by field hands. Ever heard of hoe cakes? they are corn bread patties that farms hands cooked in the field on their meal break. also called Johnny cakes

[@genesmith9786]

Sounds good. Have to try that sometime. So old lady too fast good name

[@jcrefasi1]

+gene smith yeah unfortunately my username fits me lol

[@genesmith9786]

Usually it's old lady too slow lol.

[@johnnyantoniuk11]

in British Columbia they do our laundry for us!!!

[@LivingWithDragon]

How do you label your bags? It's easy to mix up gear when people are using the same thing.

[@sstorholm]

AARGH!!! Suunto is from Finland! :)

[@Cheekee13Monkee]

" My feet get hot" Cody check out the Kelty Tuck Series. The way they construct the bag with a zipper opening you can unzip the foot box portion and pop your feet out. Gotta see it to see what I mean.

[@ernestvenn8291]

code, what are the tools used to check weather? I have an idea but would you do a video on it?

[@jakubjaniak9928]

Great videos guys, I hope you will cooperate more in the future. What about heavy equipment, shovel/pulaski etc. is it all provided by your ward ?
