so welcome back friends you know what
00:00:01.670 00:00:01.680 time it is it's time for the wildland
00:00:03.980 00:00:03.990 firefighters saw your kid you guys asked
00:00:05.930 00:00:05.940 for it a lot of folks said yeah please
00:00:07.369 00:00:07.379 do it we'd like to see that and I would
00:00:09.560 00:00:09.570 like to share with you what I put
00:00:10.940 00:00:10.950 together now this is not the end-all
00:00:12.709 00:00:12.719 be-all those guys that probably have a
00:00:14.959 00:00:14.969 better kit than then I have that have
00:00:16.880 00:00:16.890 been doing it longer the thought of some
00:00:18.680 00:00:18.690 things that I hadn't thought of but this
00:00:20.450 00:00:20.460 is what works for me so let's start with
00:00:22.189 00:00:22.199 the soul first off what is a wildland
00:00:24.560 00:00:24.570 firefighter Sawyer well there are three
00:00:26.870 00:00:26.880 levels that you can achieve in the fire
00:00:29.750 00:00:29.760 service you can have your a B and C
00:00:31.669 00:00:31.679 followers you know your low end is going
00:00:33.440 00:00:33.450 to be qualified certified to basically
00:00:36.680 00:00:36.690 do simple bucking cutting clearing off
00:00:40.010 00:00:40.020 the trails and stuff and then you're
00:00:41.660 00:00:41.670 gonna go with your mid-level followers
00:00:43.250 00:00:43.260 which can do you know up to a certain
00:00:44.930 00:00:44.940 size a tree and then of course your
00:00:46.940 00:00:46.950 advanced followers which typically come
00:00:48.799 00:00:48.809 out of logging that have a lot of
00:00:50.389 00:00:50.399 experience are going to be the ones that
00:00:52.610 00:00:52.620 are cutting down the dangerous snacks so
00:00:54.740 00:00:54.750 but even regardless of which one you are
00:00:58.119 00:00:58.129 most of these things are going to
00:01:00.170 00:01:00.180 translate very well so what is the saw
00:01:03.170 00:01:03.180 of choice of the wildland firefighter
00:01:05.479 00:01:05.489 well everything that I think I've ever
00:01:08.359 00:01:08.369 seen on a fire I don't think I've seen
00:01:10.160 00:01:10.170 anything that wasn't a steel and
00:01:12.710 00:01:12.720 typically what is being ran are the
00:01:15.109 00:01:15.119 where the early ones were the 440s
00:01:17.570 00:01:17.580 the four 60s the four sixty ones like we
00:01:21.620 00:01:21.630 have right here the four forty ones
00:01:23.330 00:01:23.340 those the big professional saws the
00:01:26.030 00:01:26.040 entry-level well I guess that that's
00:01:28.100 00:01:28.110 that is the not the entry-level but
00:01:30.980 00:01:30.990 that's pretty much where you start for
00:01:32.960 00:01:32.970 professional falling saws for Western
00:01:34.910 00:01:34.920 saws why is that well as you as you may
00:01:38.510 00:01:38.520 or may not know steel has multiple
00:01:41.179 00:01:41.189 levels of saws they have their homeowner
00:01:43.819 00:01:43.829 grade then they had their maybe what you
00:01:45.830 00:01:45.840 would call a prosumer grade then they're
00:01:47.480 00:01:47.490 gonna have their professional grade
00:01:49.069 00:01:49.079 what's the difference well cost for one
00:01:51.560 00:01:51.570 the pro saws are double what some of the
00:01:54.050 00:01:54.060 other saws are but what you get is you
00:01:55.700 00:01:55.710 get a more horsepower you get a more
00:01:59.030 00:01:59.040 rugged build you get big you get big
00:02:02.330 00:02:02.340 jaws or when mine doing blank right
00:02:04.490 00:02:04.500 there please tell me in the comments
00:02:06.440 00:02:06.450 what that is spikes
00:02:08.570 00:02:08.580 big spikes you get a lot of a lot of the
00:02:12.740 00:02:12.750 portions of the cheaper
00:02:13.880 00:02:13.890 the plastic you're gonna get the
00:02:15.670 00:02:15.680 aluminum instead and on and on on
00:02:18.410 00:02:18.420 compression releases and they're just
00:02:20.000 00:02:20.010 they're just more robust they're
00:02:21.530 00:02:21.540 designed they're 100 percent duty cycle
00:02:23.510 00:02:23.520 saws meaning that they're designed to
00:02:25.340 00:02:25.350 run full shift all day long bars we run
00:02:29.810 00:02:29.820 long bars out here this is not a long
00:02:31.760 00:02:31.770 bar this is what I don't know a 25 maybe
00:02:33.830 00:02:33.840 28 but if I'm gonna go on a fire I'm
00:02:36.260 00:02:36.270 gonna take a 32 inch bar and it's going
00:02:39.500 00:02:39.510 to be a light weight bar there's new
00:02:40.850 00:02:40.860 bars out now that the full Center has
00:02:42.890 00:02:42.900 been milled out and they press in a
00:02:44.720 00:02:44.730 lighter material I don't know if it's a
00:02:46.250 00:02:46.260 composite or if it's aluminum makes a
00:02:48.560 00:02:48.570 tremendous difference wouldn't think
00:02:50.750 00:02:50.760 like you wouldn't think that it would
00:02:51.860 00:02:51.870 but hold your arm out with some weight
00:02:53.150 00:02:53.160 on it you know you get that a 32 inch
00:02:54.590 00:02:54.600 bars along saw so that's basically the
00:02:57.500 00:02:57.510 sod now I heard from a friend of mine
00:02:59.060 00:02:59.070 that works at the Forest Service that
00:03:00.500 00:03:00.510 there is a complete hold when it comes
00:03:03.590 00:03:03.600 to the US government they're not buying
00:03:05.870 00:03:05.880 anymore steel saws because of a vapor
00:03:08.300 00:03:08.310 like luck problem and you can go online
00:03:10.490 00:03:10.500 and watch these videos and they're
00:03:11.990 00:03:12.000 pretty spooky and what's happening is
00:03:14.210 00:03:14.220 that these saws are building up there's
00:03:16.729 00:03:16.739 pressure building up in the tank and
00:03:19.039 00:03:19.049 when you open them to fuel up it sprays
00:03:21.830 00:03:21.840 out really drastically in some cases and
00:03:25.370 00:03:25.380 that's a big problem if you're working
00:03:27.410 00:03:27.420 on a wildland fire and your active fire
00:03:30.110 00:03:30.120 and you step off the line and you're
00:03:32.180 00:03:32.190 gonna fuel up your saw which you're
00:03:33.500 00:03:33.510 going to do many many times a day and
00:03:35.390 00:03:35.400 you crack that that gas the lid and you
00:03:40.250 00:03:40.260 have a geyser of fuel that sprays out
00:03:42.350 00:03:42.360 maybe ignites a fire maybe even ignites
00:03:45.050 00:03:45.060 the firefighter it gets on your clothes
00:03:46.610 00:03:46.620 it gets on your on your gloves they need
00:03:49.160 00:03:49.170 to fix that that's a huge huge problem
00:03:51.350 00:03:51.360 so I have heard and I haven't verified
00:03:52.940 00:03:52.950 this but there are no more steel saws
00:03:55.490 00:03:55.500 being perfect purchased until they sort
00:03:58.160 00:03:58.170 that out so I think with that sort of
00:04:00.229 00:04:00.239 buying power I would imagine that it
00:04:02.120 00:04:02.130 will be sorted out ASAP
00:04:04.610 00:04:04.620 I would think or Houska varna might step
00:04:07.220 00:04:07.230 up to take over the market which isn't a
00:04:08.960 00:04:08.970 bad thing either all right so you're
00:04:11.180 00:04:11.190 gonna have in addition to your saw
00:04:12.800 00:04:12.810 you're gonna have to have a cover for it
00:04:14.780 00:04:14.790 and you know safety the government
00:04:17.229 00:04:17.239 safety Sally lives at the federal
00:04:19.520 00:04:19.530 government housing so there is going to
00:04:22.099 00:04:22.109 be some sort of a covered
00:04:23.280 00:04:23.290 you carry yourself in won't even get cut
00:04:24.900 00:04:24.910 which I'm not opposed to it this is a
00:04:26.970 00:04:26.980 doubt module Mar but dole Mara Domar is
00:04:30.230 00:04:30.240 it's a gas can slash oil can that you're
00:04:34.260 00:04:34.270 gonna have for your chainsaw there
00:04:35.490 00:04:35.500 should be two compartments we're gonna
00:04:36.660 00:04:36.670 have our oil because we need to run
00:04:38.130 00:04:38.140 borrow oil to keep the lubricant chain
00:04:40.350 00:04:40.360 lubricated as well as our two-stroke mix
00:04:42.840 00:04:42.850 on one side and you'll notice that one
00:04:44.850 00:04:44.860 side is only half as big as the other
00:04:46.650 00:04:46.660 because usually if your saw is oiling
00:04:49.170 00:04:49.180 correctly you can fill your gas once
00:04:52.820 00:04:52.830 when you fill your gas your bar oil will
00:04:55.620 00:04:55.630 last your two tanks so it's when you
00:04:57.150 00:04:57.160 when your gas tank is empty your bar oil
00:04:59.040 00:04:59.050 on your thing is usually gonna be half
00:05:00.480 00:05:00.490 full so that's that's why it's that so
00:05:02.730 00:05:02.740 this is really nice I carry mine with a
00:05:04.560 00:05:04.570 little beaner on it because it's I'm
00:05:06.570 00:05:06.580 always hanging it on stuff I don't want
00:05:09.000 00:05:09.010 it to bounce away on the engine and just
00:05:10.890 00:05:10.900 a little piece of webbing I can't tell
00:05:12.330 00:05:12.340 you how useful this is in even in daily
00:05:14.370 00:05:14.380 life now this one I've had around for 20
00:05:17.010 00:05:17.020 years man this is back when they really
00:05:20.040 00:05:20.050 made them good and it used to have the
00:05:22.740 00:05:22.750 you know the little accordion nozzles
00:05:25.650 00:05:25.660 that came off there well one of my
00:05:27.570 00:05:27.580 subscribers and I'm sorry I don't
00:05:28.920 00:05:28.930 remember who it was gave me the night
00:05:30.240 00:05:30.250 the best tip he said do you know that
00:05:31.710 00:05:31.720 those are stranded on the bottom so he
00:05:33.360 00:05:33.370 said yeah did you know that those are
00:05:34.650 00:05:34.660 threaded on the bottom of that and it
00:05:36.570 00:05:36.580 takes it perfectly except there accepts
00:05:39.240 00:05:39.250 perfectly a boil like a quart of oil you
00:05:42.300 00:05:42.310 buy for changing your car if it accepts
00:05:44.760 00:05:44.770 those caps and it does I don't know man
00:05:47.490 00:05:47.500 it's the cool it's it's the coolest
00:05:49.500 00:05:49.510 thing so I have like you know those
00:05:51.360 00:05:51.370 things will fail on you and then they
00:05:52.950 00:05:52.960 crack and fall off and so I have used
00:05:55.620 00:05:55.630 these and they've worked out great
00:05:57.030 00:05:57.040 it's been really wonderful so this is a
00:05:59.390 00:05:59.400 doll Marv I've all never heard this
00:06:01.980 00:06:01.990 called a doll Mart outside of wildland
00:06:04.440 00:06:04.450 firefighting there's all sorts of
00:06:06.090 00:06:06.100 different names and nomenclature for
00:06:08.460 00:06:08.470 things that just don't exist anywhere
00:06:10.560 00:06:10.570 else I don't know that a lot of
00:06:12.060 00:06:12.070 tradition hard hat of course covered
00:06:14.430 00:06:14.440 that previously my wedges you I'm gonna
00:06:17.790 00:06:17.800 carry two full-size wedges and you carry
00:06:20.130 00:06:20.140 nylon wedges for the very reason you can
00:06:22.650 00:06:22.660 see right here see how that's all cut my
00:06:25.620 00:06:25.630 granddad when we used to cut wood you
00:06:27.720 00:06:27.730 know before these weren't always
00:06:29.100 00:06:29.110 available there was only metal wedges
00:06:30.810 00:06:30.820 and he had bought aluminum wedge
00:06:33.470 00:06:33.480 I remember that and I asked him why
00:06:34.880 00:06:34.890 granddad did you buy those aluminum
00:06:36.140 00:06:36.150 wedges he said well if I'm fallen timber
00:06:38.450 00:06:38.460 and I run my saw and they're the
00:06:39.920 00:06:39.930 aluminum is softer than the steel and it
00:06:42.170 00:06:42.180 will not destroy the chain and then
00:06:44.480 00:06:44.490 they've went to these plastic ones which
00:06:46.340 00:06:46.350 are even better
00:06:47.210 00:06:47.220 so I'll carry a two full size ones as
00:06:50.240 00:06:50.250 well as two smaller ones I'll show you
00:06:51.710 00:06:51.720 here in a minute I'm also gonna carry
00:06:54.290 00:06:54.300 this is going to be my father's belt
00:06:56.110 00:06:56.120 right here now not everyone does this
00:06:58.550 00:06:58.560 but I'm seeing it more and more I've
00:07:00.470 00:07:00.480 actually I actually saw a guy on the
00:07:03.140 00:07:03.150 fire last year for the first time it was
00:07:05.150 00:07:05.160 a that was a high level follower that
00:07:07.970 00:07:07.980 was using the the aluminum scabbard this
00:07:11.720 00:07:11.730 is the Grizzly Peak enterprises me made
00:07:14.360 00:07:14.370 an Idaho these are the best absolutely
00:07:17.630 00:07:17.640 the best so you're gonna go out there
00:07:20.000 00:07:20.010 usually you'll have a pounder which is a
00:07:21.710 00:07:21.720 special tool that's kind of a Pulaski
00:07:24.110 00:07:24.120 with a flat edge on it for pounding
00:07:25.940 00:07:25.950 wedges I'd like to have I just carry a
00:07:28.370 00:07:28.380 small axe and I always take my small
00:07:30.680 00:07:30.690 forest axe and yeah it's a little bit
00:07:32.390 00:07:32.400 light on the light side for wedges but I
00:07:34.010 00:07:34.020 like it if I need something bigger I'll
00:07:35.870 00:07:35.880 use a pounder but this is I always have
00:07:38.150 00:07:38.160 it on me and it's not I don't leave it
00:07:40.040 00:07:40.050 leaning against the tree it's always on
00:07:41.360 00:07:41.370 my person the nice thing about the
00:07:42.740 00:07:42.750 scabbard is that this sits if you're
00:07:44.690 00:07:44.700 right-handed right off you're on the
00:07:46.520 00:07:46.530 right side right on your right hip you
00:07:48.650 00:07:48.660 can reach around you can grab it you can
00:07:50.240 00:07:50.250 use it and you can drop it and put it
00:07:52.040 00:07:52.050 back in and it doesn't ever come out
00:07:54.500 00:07:54.510 I've never had it come out also I'm
00:07:57.380 00:07:57.390 gonna have hooked on tethered on here a
00:07:59.980 00:07:59.990 ask wrench tool this is a chainsaw tool
00:08:03.170 00:08:03.180 for tightening the chain removing the
00:08:05.420 00:08:05.430 spark plug and I take a little drill or
00:08:07.880 00:08:07.890 drill and drill a hole in it and I just
00:08:10.040 00:08:10.050 wrap a piece of pique cord around that
00:08:11.870 00:08:11.880 and I hook it to this little brass link
00:08:14.000 00:08:14.010 on there this leather deal and I always
00:08:15.680 00:08:15.690 have it with me you'll lose these if you
00:08:17.300 00:08:17.310 don't if you don't have them tethered
00:08:18.560 00:08:18.570 and you you need it all the time so that
00:08:20.990 00:08:21.000 goes on the fallers belt and then what
00:08:23.120 00:08:23.130 I'll have over here on the other side
00:08:24.290 00:08:24.300 it's usually an IFAC so when I FAC is a
00:08:27.470 00:08:27.480 is a has kind of come out of combat vet
00:08:30.890 00:08:30.900 from combat veterans a personal
00:08:33.350 00:08:33.360 first-aid kit to deal with massive blood
00:08:35.719 00:08:35.729 loss of massive trauma which is what
00:08:37.640 00:08:37.650 you're going to have from a chainsaw
00:08:38.659 00:08:38.669 work right and so I'm what I'm gonna
00:08:40.280 00:08:40.290 have in a knife AK is going to be a cat
00:08:42.350 00:08:42.360 tourniquet I'm gonna have a Israeli
00:08:45.350 00:08:45.360 bandage a compression bandage
00:08:47.030 00:08:47.040 and some sort of a quick clot then the
00:08:50.060 00:08:50.070 purpose for it is not for fixing a
00:08:52.700 00:08:52.710 boo-boo on your finger this is if you
00:08:54.680 00:08:54.690 drop a chainsaw bar on it someone gets
00:08:56.930 00:08:56.940 really hurt you can stop the blood deal
00:08:59.060 00:08:59.070 with the blood loss and so I don't have
00:09:01.580 00:09:01.590 it on here now because I only have I
00:09:03.490 00:09:03.500 have two of them but they're on other
00:09:05.990 00:09:06.000 stuff things so when I go on a fire I
00:09:07.820 00:09:07.830 will pull one off there some I don't
00:09:09.620 00:09:09.630 know I can't duplicate everything it
00:09:11.060 00:09:11.070 just gets too expensive but also when I
00:09:13.280 00:09:13.290 keep on here for now or one of these
00:09:14.870 00:09:14.880 really wonderful folding dump bags these
00:09:18.230 00:09:18.240 are made by co-actor up and up in
00:09:20.030 00:09:20.040 Washington and what it is is it's a it's
00:09:22.790 00:09:22.800 a bag that gets really big really big so
00:09:26.120 00:09:26.130 you can drop stuff in there and if you
00:09:27.800 00:09:27.810 wanted to carry extra fuel bottles or
00:09:29.480 00:09:29.490 borrow oil or whatever or you could just
00:09:31.220 00:09:31.230 drop your eye pack in there these are
00:09:32.510 00:09:32.520 really handy to have and and I even been
00:09:36.140 00:09:36.150 back and forth carrying these on my
00:09:37.850 00:09:37.860 wildland pack but very nice there Molly
00:09:40.760 00:09:40.770 so you can weave them into something
00:09:41.960 00:09:41.970 they're really good for even for
00:09:43.730 00:09:43.740 shooting you can use it for grabbing
00:09:45.140 00:09:45.150 extra magazines stuff so I keep that on
00:09:46.910 00:09:46.920 there and this is my father's belt I'm
00:09:49.580 00:09:49.590 not going to carry a tape followers
00:09:51.290 00:09:51.300 measure like you're a loggers tape on
00:09:54.350 00:09:54.360 there because I'm not concerned we're
00:09:55.760 00:09:55.770 not cutting dimensional lumber we're
00:09:57.080 00:09:57.090 good this is other other stuff this is
00:09:59.600 00:09:59.610 just firefighting stuff so also I'm
00:10:01.790 00:10:01.800 gonna have a this is a this is a
00:10:03.410 00:10:03.420 shoulder pad this is a you'll see that
00:10:05.930 00:10:05.940 loggers use these followers have used
00:10:08.720 00:10:08.730 them for years and what it is is that
00:10:10.160 00:10:10.170 high quality felts a thick felt and
00:10:13.340 00:10:13.350 they're slits in there with a nice soft
00:10:15.380 00:10:15.390 rubber leather leather outer that
00:10:18.860 00:10:18.870 stitched on there and that's designed to
00:10:20.810 00:10:20.820 go through your suspenders because
00:10:22.550 00:10:22.560 loggers wear suspenders on their on
00:10:25.490 00:10:25.500 their or they call rags a lot loggers
00:10:27.590 00:10:27.600 are the clothing that they wear you know
00:10:28.940 00:10:28.950 they cut with him the hem off so that
00:10:31.160 00:10:31.170 they don't when you're walking on logs
00:10:33.410 00:10:33.420 with limbs and things if you get caught
00:10:35.420 00:10:35.430 up on that the hem is reinforced it will
00:10:37.970 00:10:37.980 you'll fall and it'll you can get hurt
00:10:40.220 00:10:40.230 so they cut the hems off you'll see
00:10:41.930 00:10:41.940 loggers walking around you know they
00:10:43.430 00:10:43.440 look like they have high water so that's
00:10:44.840 00:10:44.850 the reason why they cut the fins that
00:10:47.060 00:10:47.070 the hems off so if they do get caught on
00:10:49.880 00:10:49.890 a nub or a branch or something it'll
00:10:52.010 00:10:52.020 simply tear so guys that have been out
00:10:54.110 00:10:54.120 working you know for a long time you'll
00:10:55.580 00:10:55.590 see that their leg their pants are
00:10:57.140 00:10:57.150 shredded up if they look like rags and
00:10:59.330 00:10:59.340 that's what they call them I got these
00:11:00.660 00:11:00.670 my ranks don't wear that but they'll
00:11:02.730 00:11:02.740 also wear this on their shoulder so this
00:11:06.600 00:11:06.610 the the suspenders will weave through
00:11:08.490 00:11:08.500 there I'll weave this through the risers
00:11:10.650 00:11:10.660 on my pack in this will disperse right
00:11:12.990 00:11:13.000 there because when you carry your
00:11:14.040 00:11:14.050 chainsaw up on your shoulder this
00:11:16.350 00:11:16.360 protects you sometimes you'll walk miles
00:11:18.450 00:11:18.460 and miles carrying a chainsaw and it's
00:11:20.430 00:11:20.440 really uncomfortable it would really
00:11:21.870 00:11:21.880 start to hurt and it will tear up and
00:11:24.060 00:11:24.070 cut up your pack and you're not using
00:11:25.590 00:11:25.600 the guard all the time which seems to
00:11:27.570 00:11:27.580 happen so I'll carry that I don't want
00:11:29.700 00:11:29.710 it on there all the time but if I am
00:11:30.960 00:11:30.970 going to be working extended as a run
00:11:33.240 00:11:33.250 extended purpose as a follower I'll
00:11:35.100 00:11:35.110 throw this on really quick it's very
00:11:36.870 00:11:36.880 nice of course we're gonna have our
00:11:38.430 00:11:38.440 chains on chaps these are on the short
00:11:40.080 00:11:40.090 end whenever I have inspection I have to
00:11:41.670 00:11:41.680 kind of I have to be sagging with these
00:11:43.830 00:11:43.840 things because they don't quite they're
00:11:45.540 00:11:45.550 supposed to cover all the way down to
00:11:47.580 00:11:47.590 the boot and there's a little bit of a
00:11:48.780 00:11:48.790 gap on there but I can if I get come
00:11:51.060 00:11:51.070 down a little bit I can pass there
00:11:52.230 00:11:52.240 because I like the shorter ones because
00:11:53.820 00:11:53.830 they're easier to move in I'm more
00:11:55.410 00:11:55.420 nimble but you might not be able to get
00:11:57.660 00:11:57.670 away with it so quality Pro chainsaw
00:12:00.180 00:12:00.190 chaps are gonna be a must I'm going to
00:12:01.920 00:12:01.930 bring you in close for the replacement
00:12:03.600 00:12:03.610 parts and how I keep the saw up and
00:12:06.150 00:12:06.160 running and a few other things that I
00:12:09.540 00:12:09.550 keep right here this is the bag made by
00:12:11.610 00:12:11.620 my friend that does reset the recycled
00:12:13.590 00:12:13.600 firefighter or recycled firefighting I
00:12:16.310 00:12:16.320 think it's a recycled fire fire buddy
00:12:18.630 00:12:18.640 makes these really robust bags and tool
00:12:21.480 00:12:21.490 rolls out of old Single Double it was
00:12:25.140 00:12:25.150 double jacket old fire hose which is
00:12:26.880 00:12:26.890 tough tough stuff with look at the size
00:12:28.650 00:12:28.660 of that zipper and that's awesome stuff
00:12:30.360 00:12:30.370 so let's take a look inside this as a
00:12:32.580 00:12:32.590 Sawyer it's one of your primary
00:12:34.560 00:12:34.570 responsibilities is you got to keep your
00:12:36.060 00:12:36.070 tool running that is your tool and guys
00:12:38.010 00:12:38.020 are depending on you and you have to
00:12:39.930 00:12:39.940 keep that thing running and so what if
00:12:42.210 00:12:42.220 you're out there for miles and miles and
00:12:43.650 00:12:43.660 miles and you lose your bar nuts you're
00:12:45.750 00:12:45.760 out of commission so it's it's it's it's
00:12:49.350 00:12:49.360 poor planning poor planning not to have
00:12:52.530 00:12:52.540 these extra parts out there and I see it
00:12:54.180 00:12:54.190 all the time I have loneguy stuff I've
00:12:56.610 00:12:56.620 got their saws going again for just lack
00:12:59.070 00:12:59.080 of it's inexcusable I mean it's not
00:13:01.770 00:13:01.780 their fault either they're coming out of
00:13:03.240 00:13:03.250 college and they're getting some
00:13:04.290 00:13:04.300 training and some training is good and
00:13:05.760 00:13:05.770 some is bad we happen to have the gold
00:13:07.680 00:13:07.690 standard here with a guy my friend
00:13:09.780 00:13:09.790 Roland that runs the Sawyer the training
00:13:13.110 00:13:13.120 here he
00:13:14.220 00:13:14.230 he wrote the curriculum for the whole
00:13:15.450 00:13:15.460 nation and he is tough and if you come
00:13:17.820 00:13:17.830 out of there a certified follower you
00:13:19.650 00:13:19.660 indeed know what you're doing okay
00:13:21.510 00:13:21.520 starting off I'm gonna have a couple
00:13:23.370 00:13:23.380 files here I'm gonna have a round files
00:13:26.130 00:13:26.140 of course everything that we're gonna be
00:13:28.530 00:13:28.540 using all the chain are gonna be round
00:13:29.940 00:13:29.950 files because round files the edge last
00:13:32.280 00:13:32.290 longer than the then a chisel chain then
00:13:35.940 00:13:35.950 we're gonna have a raker file or a depth
00:13:37.860 00:13:37.870 gauge file on there as well just leave
00:13:40.500 00:13:40.510 that little blue thing out there that's
00:13:41.730 00:13:41.740 a nice presentation deal so in here I'm
00:13:44.400 00:13:44.410 gonna have my small pieces and this is
00:13:46.440 00:13:46.450 nothing more than just I didn't have a
00:13:48.090 00:13:48.100 really good plastic case to protect my
00:13:50.190 00:13:50.200 spark plug so I this is just one of my
00:13:53.460 00:13:53.470 little silky saws came in that could
00:13:55.410 00:13:55.420 have a spare spark plug I'm gonna have
00:13:57.960 00:13:57.970 some spare clutch springs these are the
00:14:01.500 00:14:01.510 springs that if you take off the side
00:14:03.330 00:14:03.340 cover that are gonna hold the you know
00:14:06.150 00:14:06.160 activate the clutch these things can
00:14:08.040 00:14:08.050 break good luck getting that replaced
00:14:10.470 00:14:10.480 when you're out in the middle of nowhere
00:14:11.430 00:14:11.440 it's a simple thing go to X mu go to saw
00:14:13.620 00:14:13.630 shop just get those an extra pilot
00:14:16.020 00:14:16.030 bearing in case that goes bad on me I'm
00:14:18.390 00:14:18.400 gonna have an extra actually I should
00:14:20.820 00:14:20.830 have two bar nuts in there but I stole
00:14:22.350 00:14:22.360 one out of there to give to a guy last
00:14:23.880 00:14:23.890 year and I just now realized that and an
00:14:26.700 00:14:26.710 extra wear pad these are top and bottom
00:14:29.940 00:14:29.950 they're the same wear pad that goes on
00:14:31.680 00:14:31.690 the inside cover and they seem to fall
00:14:33.210 00:14:33.220 out they seem to I lose them all the
00:14:34.950 00:14:34.960 time I couldn't have an extra factory
00:14:37.940 00:14:37.950 elasto start an extra pull rope with
00:14:41.520 00:14:41.530 handle you're not gonna start your saw
00:14:43.710 00:14:43.720 without that if it breaks and they break
00:14:45.180 00:14:45.190 they do they they break and I'm gonna
00:14:47.700 00:14:47.710 carry in here also to mini wedges I
00:14:49.790 00:14:49.800 really like these mini wedges there's
00:14:52.020 00:14:52.030 sometimes they're just the right thing
00:14:54.660 00:14:54.670 for the job they're a whole lot easier
00:14:56.220 00:14:56.230 to carry than these big ones and I don't
00:14:58.440 00:14:58.450 want to carry four big ones that that's
00:15:00.120 00:15:00.130 a lot of weight these are heavy
00:15:01.800 00:15:01.810 so I can kind of supplement that with
00:15:03.750 00:15:03.760 the two little ones and they fit in your
00:15:04.980 00:15:04.990 back pocket really good and they don't
00:15:06.810 00:15:06.820 fall out and then they're just good to
00:15:08.400 00:15:08.410 have I'm also gonna carry a killer tree
00:15:11.610 00:15:11.620 tape this is how you mark something if
00:15:13.800 00:15:13.810 you if you find a tree that may be too
00:15:17.220 00:15:17.230 difficult for you to cut or you just
00:15:19.110 00:15:19.120 don't feel safe doing it you don't have
00:15:20.520 00:15:20.530 the skill or the experience you can flag
00:15:23.370 00:15:23.380 that and this is universally understood
00:15:25.350 00:15:25.360 on the fire ground don't get near that
00:15:26.790 00:15:26.800 stay away from it you can
00:15:28.079 00:15:28.089 like a killer tree with that I'm gonna
00:15:30.179 00:15:30.189 carry a file handle these can yeah you
00:15:33.929 00:15:33.939 can file without a file handle but the
00:15:35.790 00:15:35.800 tangs on them are pretty sharp and it
00:15:37.710 00:15:37.720 makes it pretty nice to have a little
00:15:39.299 00:15:39.309 handle on there I won't permanently
00:15:41.160 00:15:41.170 affixed it because make sure you get a
00:15:42.720 00:15:42.730 file handle that can fit both both your
00:15:45.119 00:15:45.129 files your rat tails as well as your
00:15:47.699 00:15:47.709 your little flat file I'm gonna carry in
00:15:50.850 00:15:50.860 here a screwdriver to adjust the
00:15:53.160 00:15:53.170 carburetor if need be I'm gonna carry a
00:15:55.920 00:15:55.930 carry a handful of extra spark plugs and
00:15:58.160 00:15:58.170 the last thing I have in here I've got
00:16:00.569 00:16:00.579 two files that just got an extra one in
00:16:02.249 00:16:02.259 there which I don't really need but
00:16:03.660 00:16:03.670 right there so the last thing are chains
00:16:06.809 00:16:06.819 and I take four chains for either brand
00:16:10.860 00:16:10.870 new chains or chains that you're sharp a
00:16:12.420 00:16:12.430 night I you should seize them of the
00:16:16.319 00:16:16.329 it's one thing it's hard to learn how to
00:16:19.079 00:16:19.089 sharpen the chainsaw and man I have seen
00:16:21.689 00:16:21.699 you watch those poor kids coming out
00:16:23.819 00:16:23.829 they went to a three-day chainsaw school
00:16:26.610 00:16:26.620 and and they're cutting and they they
00:16:28.619 00:16:28.629 get chained gets dull they're out there
00:16:30.329 00:16:30.339 trying to sharpen on the side of the
00:16:31.710 00:16:31.720 rugs just it's tragic it's an absolutely
00:16:33.869 00:16:33.879 tragic end up violent chainsaws all all
00:16:35.910 00:16:35.920 night for these guys I think extra chain
00:16:38.579 00:16:38.589 so I've got a sharp that gives me five
00:16:40.169 00:16:40.179 total so I can go should be able to go
00:16:42.389 00:16:42.399 all day on this and then I can sharpen
00:16:44.369 00:16:44.379 when I've got some time usually you know
00:16:46.470 00:16:46.480 like the military I'm told it's a lot of
00:16:48.569 00:16:48.579 hurry up and wait in the same way with
00:16:49.949 00:16:49.959 the fire you always have some downtime
00:16:51.419 00:16:51.429 when you need something to do so I think
00:16:53.400 00:16:53.410 it seemed makes more sense and it just
00:16:56.100 00:16:56.110 is better style to keep your saw up and
00:16:58.949 00:16:58.959 runnin keep keep your guys supporting
00:17:01.590 00:17:01.600 your guys and helping them out and when
00:17:03.929 00:17:03.939 you when you have to put a chain on put
00:17:06.149 00:17:06.159 a new one on it takes you should be able
00:17:07.679 00:17:07.689 to do it in 90 seconds two minutes and
00:17:10.799 00:17:10.809 then not have to sit down for 20 minutes
00:17:12.480 00:17:12.490 and file on something awkwardly and then
00:17:14.669 00:17:14.679 go back and file these when you have
00:17:16.079 00:17:16.089 some down time so take a good good
00:17:18.299 00:17:18.309 Sawyer I think we'll take extra chains
00:17:19.799 00:17:19.809 you determine how many you're gonna need
00:17:21.539 00:17:21.549 but I I take four plus one so that's it
00:17:24.210 00:17:24.220 for my wildland firefighting fallers kit
00:17:26.039 00:17:26.049 that's what I put together if there's
00:17:27.480 00:17:27.490 something you think I should add or
00:17:29.399 00:17:29.409 something that you've had experience
00:17:31.169 00:17:31.179 with that has helped let me know in the
00:17:32.880 00:17:32.890 comments these things we learn from each
00:17:35.100 00:17:35.110 other that's why we do these videos
00:17:36.180 00:17:36.190 these things are always changing and new
00:17:38.669 00:17:38.679 technology comes up bugs goggles I just
00:17:41.340 00:17:41.350 saw
00:17:41.610 00:17:41.620 forgot that wire wire mesh goggles for
00:17:44.850 00:17:44.860 safety goggles everyone's using these
00:17:46.470 00:17:46.480 because they don't fog up a wire mesh
00:17:50.370 00:17:50.380 you want to know how you can tell an
00:17:51.990 00:17:52.000 experienced follower from a newbie
00:17:54.090 00:17:54.100 here's what happens on fires right so
00:17:56.940 00:17:56.950 young guy gets his chainsaw
00:17:59.010 00:17:59.020 certification and he is stoked it's a
00:18:01.980 00:18:01.990 badge of badge of honor
00:18:03.210 00:18:03.220 I mean it really is everyone wants to be
00:18:05.040 00:18:05.050 on the chainsaw of course so what he
00:18:06.780 00:18:06.790 does is he takes his bugs goggles and he
00:18:10.170 00:18:10.180 puts them on his helmet like this you'll
00:18:13.770 00:18:13.780 see it all the time they put them on
00:18:15.750 00:18:15.760 their helmets and you know and what
00:18:18.660 00:18:18.670 they're saying you know it's a humble
00:18:19.950 00:18:19.960 brag but what they're saying is that hey
00:18:23.190 00:18:23.200 check it out
00:18:23.970 00:18:23.980 I'm a chainsaw faller I'm a certified
00:18:26.460 00:18:26.470 father I've got my bugs goggles because
00:18:28.620 00:18:28.630 no one that wasn't running a chainsaw
00:18:30.750 00:18:30.760 would wear these and and so they think
00:18:34.310 00:18:34.320 more than more importantly than it being
00:18:38.280 00:18:38.290 a convenience thing what it is it's a
00:18:40.680 00:18:40.690 bragging thing but anybody who knows
00:18:43.500 00:18:43.510 anything about this goggles that these
00:18:46.440 00:18:46.450 bugs goggles is that as soon as you do
00:18:48.540 00:18:48.550 that it mashes all of the foam around
00:18:51.930 00:18:51.940 the face and then they they don't seal
00:18:54.150 00:18:54.160 very well and they're uncomfortable and
00:18:56.100 00:18:56.110 it's not smart so anyone who knows
00:18:58.590 00:18:58.600 anything within the experience when you
00:19:00.210 00:19:00.220 see that guy with the bugs goggles on on
00:19:02.280 00:19:02.290 his helmet you kind of have to kind of
00:19:04.350 00:19:04.360 give a little snicker because you know
00:19:06.090 00:19:06.100 well someday he'll learn the crock
00:19:08.760 00:19:08.770 proper way to wear them as you wear them
00:19:11.070 00:19:11.080 around your neck it's just so you know
00:19:13.950 00:19:13.960 so if you're a new if you're a new
00:19:15.710 00:19:15.720 feller do Sawyer
00:19:18.270 00:19:18.280 don't do that don't be that guy you can
00:19:20.940 00:19:20.950 laugh at him
