Thanks for sharing man. Doing my pack test this January and hope to be working thereafter. Good to get an idea of what I'll be typically carrying.

@Fenianboyo 12 лет назад

I always enjoy your vids man, and pack vids in general. You never fail to get ideas for things you never quite considered! Well done!

@CampfireTalk 12 лет назад

Good to see how your background of backpacking came into play here. These loadouts boil down to having some resources on hand in whatever scenario we may go into. Great job beast!

@Heavyweightking70 12 лет назад

As a wildland firefighter, I was just surffing youtube for a video pretty much exactly like this one for ideas that i may have not thought of for my line gear and red bag (Red bag video was great too.) Thanks alot for thinking ahead and makeing this vid. Be safe out there.

@USNERDOC 12 лет назад

Excellent video and a well done intro to your wildland pack. I am always looking for new ideas, gear and systems. Thanks for sharing!

@Druetty 12 лет назад

Great vid! Nice to see what you guys carry. Thanks so much for the important work you are doing!!

@CyberCacique1 12 лет назад

Greatness, as usual. Always gets me thinking about my own prep systems. Thanks man!

@williamanthony25 9 лет назад

looks like you bought everything at the checkout line in walmart. i carry socks, and a spare T-shirt, because when you spike out on the line wet clothes suck. lots and lots of water, 2 gallons usually. chainsaw parts and tool kit with spare chains, baby wipes, not toilet paper. para cord, instead of boot laces AND para cord, protein bars, signal mirror, bandanna, potassium tablets, voodoo tactical first aid kit, princeton tech headlamp with a dozen batteries, P-line and an adapter for mop up, fuzees, brush axe, depending on terrain, mp3 player, sometimes i pack a hooded sweatshirt depending on the region and elevation. being drenched in sweat all night on a mountain sucks. as you said, pack contents change frequently, but those are the main things i always have. I'm sure I've forgotten a bunch of stuff, but thats what i recall off the top of my head. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO HAVE IN YOUR PACK IS AN EXTRA PAIR OF GOOD THICK DRY SOCKS AND A DRY SHIRT. I worked 24hour shifts, so we were on the line all night, and trying to get a little rest when you're soaked in sweat from the day is not the bees knees.

I just completed my certs for wildland through my school, UW - Stevens Point, and although I wont be doing any work this season I definitely plan on looking for work next season. Since I dont own any gear, I've been looking for videos explaining some of the things I would need for when I do eventually assemble my gear. Your videos are great. Would you say that this video, your IFAK vid, and your red bag vid are all current enough to give someone like me a good set of guidelines for what to have?

@EatCarbs 12 лет назад

Great kit dude! Really interesting items. I never would have thought about adding screws to your kit to hold your shoes together. Seems like even one or two might be good just to get ya home. Thanks for the video. =D

@WanderingBeast 12 лет назад

@joerackl thanks for the reminder, will let ya know when its up

@Heavyweightking70 11 лет назад

When you do the second review, please touch on the yoke of this pack. I'm currently in the market of making a change from the Nargear victim pack to this one and the yoke is what really caught my eye. With the way it looks, it almost seems like it would be effortless to hike with this pack regardless of weight.

@MetlDOME 12 лет назад

where did you get the little orange repair kit thing? its my favorite part of your pack! awesome total review thank you

@MylesGVR4 12 лет назад

I tried looking up those wells lamont gloves as the 2500 and had no luck. Any suggestions as to where I could find a pair? Thanks and great video!

@GoatHollow 12 лет назад

Great pack!!! I've done a lot of line work, in my red card days, but it was mostly little stuff (Just us local guys). On major fires I was always either on structure protection, or I did helli-tac, and a lot of tender duty. Our dept. got a Hawk extreme, and everybody seemed to want to call us for tender duty after that lol. Long story short... Never had to have a line pack, I was always close enough to a truck not to need it, but you have a great one there!!! I'm way too old now :(

@TheGrayman1234 12 лет назад

How do you get the rubbery taste out of your hydration pack? What type of hydration pack do you have and what are the pros and cons that you have come across with the hydration pack? Had a grass fire the other day and thought of you. It was a little one, only a couple of 100 square feet. Nothing line what you guys deal with. You the man beast, you smoke eater you.

@Firefightertype2 9 лет назад

Hello there! Now that you have been doing wildland fire for a few years is there anything different you carry? It would be great if you could do an updated video of this to show how (if at all) time on the line has changed what you carry or recommend. I've watched this video many times, very helpful and I would say it is a must see for any new folks. One of these days I'll actually sit down and do a video of my line gear, IFAK and contents. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work!

@WanderingBeast 9 лет назад

I may do that this spring, thanks

@Heavyweightking70 11 лет назад

Hey, with fire season right around the corner I was wondering if you could come back and review this pack again ex likes/ dislikes. Or maybe just fire gear in general. Thanks

@highcountrytimber 12 лет назад

@guillaumecousigne 9 лет назад

Hey, I work in western canada, and I was kinda curious about your pack. All ours are gov issued, very sturdy heavy duty nylon , but definitely not great for organisation and volume. they just have loops for gear on the outside to put bones, pulasky's, hose, I even put a mark 3 there once, basically anything you can secure on it. (also good to get caught on low branches). But yeah, I really like the bladder idea and how you organise your personal gear, but how does it go for work gear? can you fit it all? And what does the pack look like at the end of the season, must be pretty toast eh, I'm guessing you bought it yourself?

pack has four years of hard use, show minimal wear, holds everything I need

@WanderingBeast 11 лет назад

no doubt, I usually have a gatorade, and 1 bottle water for coffee. I have seen plenty of china mart bladders fail, but never an actual camelbak, not to say it would never fail, Im pretty confident in it or I would be using it.

I was accepted into the SCA's Veterans Fire Corps for Wild Land Fire Fighting and not 100% sure of what to expect, but these videos are nice to show what I will be packing in and out of the field. I will be in Salida, CO for a couple weeks of training and then spend the rest of my time in Arizona and was told we would be working with other crews after we pass our pack test and a few others, has anyone else gone through this program.

@WanderingBeast 11 лет назад

Thanks, I said IRPG, and I have worked with some outstanding engine crews, but they are not carrying a full days of water when you have cooler full of ice cold gatorade on the truck, or there lunch, when they are done with a bladder bag it goes back on the truck, not carried til the end of shift. just saying ;)

@BernFya 11 лет назад

It just sucks when you're out of water because it was all in one container. We've had many different ways of leaks and blow outs occur. When the nearest vehicle is hours away everyone else has to pitch in for your loss. I personally store in a 3 L in the camel and carry the other 3 in bottle.

@BadTomorrow 12 лет назад

I'm not really anti "camelback" style systems, we allow them on our crew (though I dont use one), but I have heard the argument that using the system robs you of the ability to more accurately gauge your water consumption. And I do like to know exactly how much water I have left (which is why I don't use one)

@native1287 2 года назад

I carry two 16 oz water bottles on each aide of my camelpak...when we get a lil time i will simply fill my camelpak back up with one...also carry two 32 oz water bottles in the side pockets...

@keebstracy 10 лет назад

Just came across this video and found it amusing after the comment about engine crews not carrying anything but shelters and protective gear, had to laugh. I run an engine and I carry way more than that every day all day. Never know when we will have to get out of the trucks and work, lol. My crew spends a lot of time away from the rigs and I am prepared for just about any situation. You wouldn't believe all the extra stuff I carry on the engine. If you need it on line, Ive got it. Including a shower and enough stuff to feed your entire hand crew including cold drinks for you all.

@WanderingBeast 10 лет назад

Iv worked engines as well, you have to admit guys like you arent the majority of engine crews, in fact i just worked a fire where the engine boss asked if I wanted some waters, I agreed so I could pack it down the line and offer some of my guys a cold drink only to realize he was offering the cached water that had been sitting in the sun next to the portatank all day, not from his cooler, just saying. keep up the good work. thanks

@BadTomorrow 12 лет назад

To expand on that a little (ok maybe I am a little anti "camelback") I think the camelback systems are a really bad route for new guys, and would discourage using them, at least initially. I've given away a number of quarts here and there over the years, and I can't say it was only to camelback users, but I can say it was to guys/gals, that poorly managed water intake...and camelbacks will not help those guys.
