Fire Gear.

This is the Mystery Ranch Hot Top. Drawstring closure top load design. The blue pouch on bottom is my fire shelter.

Love this shoulder harness and the way the bag rides. Even for a medium yoke, it is a very comfortable bag. Wish it had a little more modularity so I could remove a pouch or two if needed, but, that isn't a major issue.

18 month old grandbaby is for scale.

This is the Coaxsher that is smaller and more modular than the Mystery Ranch. May keep it as a every day work bag and mount a bladder in the dedicated pocket. This one rides quite well, also. Not sure the model as I haven't found the exact one on the website. May be a discontinued model.

dammit.  won't post.  I'll try again later.  

Still waiting patiently for more of the gear. Got my signal mirror and compass, need to take pics of them.

Update kinda. Ordered my fire boots since the issued ones suck balls. Thorogood Hellfires aren't a bad boot, just don't fit my feet well. So, I ordered my White's tonight. Only $480 plus shipping. Had to measure my feet with socks on and then make a few other measurements to fine tune the fit. There is a 10-14 week wait on custom fitted fire boots. So, I guess the Hellfires will be well worn in by then.

On another note, I get to be on standby for the summer. Which is an extra $75-100 a week in pay. Just went on high alert because there is a fire in northern Nevada that the boss just got called about. So, I could leave at any time for that fire. Hooray for overtime on fires. Will pay for the boots.

Hellfires are a little tight with one pair of socks. But, they are a heavier sock. Need to oil them up again soon. I know that will help a little, too. But, the Hellfires were out of the cache and I grabbed the largest size they had. Wish there had been a 15 instead of the 14.

I have a lot of moleskin in the truck and in the cache. Found out that there may be an additional charge of $175 if White's has to custom make a form to make my boots. Work will reimburse me $150 max on the White's but they would have bought me a pair of Kosmas Hercules if they would have had my size available. Maybe after the first of July I'll see if the Kosmas got any larger sizes added. I sent an email request asking them if they could get them.

That would be cool. Do you have a youtube account? If you could, also get video of responding units and maybe do a breakdown on the trucks and other equipment used.
