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.
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.
***** 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.
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
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
I like the way you are doing it here. I was a State Firefighter one summer back in the late 60's. We didn't have the sophisticated tools and machinery you have today. Keep up the good work.
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 !!
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.
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!
I would do a combination of both as a firefighter I love watching other people's experiences good and bad or whatever ..... you came a long way brother
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
I am a veteran rural firefighter here in the Hunter Valley of NSW Australia and am interested in how fires are taxkled in other countries. Not sure if you know where the McCloud tool was developed or not but it was developed in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney Australia in 1969 and the proceeds from the royalties from every tool made went back to the brigade of the inventer oof the tool. I have used both a standard rakehoe and the McCloud and I prefer the McCloud. I was a telecommunications contractor and I was using my McCloud tool to hand backfill trenches and others from the company I was subie to tried mine and got the company to get them for their crews a very versatile tool
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.
Keep developing, your on the right track here. I found the video interesting. Its always fun to watch people at their work. The thumb nail of this video showed what looked like a wind powered generator on fire which is why I clicked on the video. Your living an interesting life.
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!
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.

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.
9 років тому+2
Really? Wow. Still interested in seeing more, but I'm not going to sign up.
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.
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...
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
Brings back memories, I was a Navajo Wildland Firefighter. Did some work in the Cimmeron Mountains on the boarder of New Mexico and Colorado. Did a lot of hiking to find fires. Had a lot of fun but now I am a Power Plant mechanic and just as fun.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Pretty cool video Cody I was digging the truck. I noticed the tires there I believe that truck should have a CTIS system for inflation and deflation according to terrain. I was kind a hoping you went over that I bet a lot of people would love to learn about that. Stay safe brother and thank you for what you do
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.
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 !
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!
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.
The majority of people only see what the news presents concerning a wild land fire. I think this is an awesome way for all of us to get a glimpse into what wild land firefighting is all about. Thank you for sharing with us!
Hey Cody. I recently started following you. I too worked on this fire for my company Republic Services. The landfill in Roosevelt Washington. That day was a long day for us. We started at 4 am. I left home in Yakima Washington at 2am. and we were turned loose around 8am. the following morning, the second day of the fire. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic by trade and I'll tell ya, thank you! I'd rather skin my knuckles and knees.
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
As an Australian volunteer firefighter it's great and informative to see how you deal with fire's during your fire season. We do not call them wildfires, we just call them bush fires, the term wildfires is an emotive wording and implies an out of control fire and while we know that this often happens, we consider a careful use of language has to be used to describe a fire. In bush Australia as in many states in your country we are trained in both bush fire and structural. Your video was an excellent training aid to show how firefighters in other countries deal with, what we call the RED STEER, keep up the great work, great video.
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.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a hotshot/ smokejumper. A career in wildland fire is very rewarding and very challenging from what I have seen from the fire guys I have worked with. I however chose to seek a career as a forester instead but I still make a point of it to maintain my qualifications and participate in new trainings so I can get out and be effective when I do go out on the line. Unfortunately my line time is not much as I left the military 3 years ago and when I am not working during the summers I attend college full time. Working where I do during the summer and being out in the woods as much as I am then, there is always a chance for me to be the initial response to an incident. I may be relatively new to this but I see value in non-fire natural resources personnel to keep current on their trainings. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I really like your channel because it seems like I learn something new each video. This firefighting stuff is no exception! I'm invested in the channel as a whole, and it doesn't really matter what the topic is... I'll watch it! Glad you made it home safe. My family said prayers for you each night as we put the kids to bed. God bless from Indiana.
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!
I'm glad I found your channel. I'm in school getting a forestry degree to help my resume. It's hard getting a job with the USFS without enough real world experience.
I just love your videos man, maybe you wont see this comment at all but gotta say, I've learned a lot from watching your videos. And I'm glad that I discovered you recently, because there is a ton more to watch. Thanks for sharing your skills, knowledge, wisdom and connection with the Lord. Cheers from Bulgaria.
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!
I'm starting 130/190 this weekend. We had a huge fire that I worked this last week. Look up the Mims Pond fire in New Mexico. If you ever come down to New Mexico make your way down to Elephant Butte would love to show you the stations.
Hey Cody, please share more. Commentary over your footage is great, but your video taking speaks for itself. Anything is great in my books. Show more in any way you can. Thanks
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.
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.
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!
THAT IS AWSOME !!!!! setting here watching that video with heart just a pounding. the excitement of helping people on a job that only a few can do. more video please
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!
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.
Video with a voiceover explaining what is going on would be nice. I also liked finding out about the equipment like the guy talking about the truck. Overall I find the whole job fascinating, I'm sure others do too. Thank you for sharing your work!
Sitting over here in happy Seattle-Land, most people don't realize what an effort it is to (try) get these fires under control in those conditions. That short 3 second clip of you? touching the ground looking for hot spots shows us all what it takes. Connects the human work up to the Caterpillar D7's. Thanks. Great editing of video and sound too.
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.
Charles Vandergriff I'm also structural. My brother is wildland and told me that the path can change in an instant.
God Bless brother!!
Same here
I like to see the fire fighting videos .Whatever you have time to do will be fine, Thank you Cody.
bihbgm I'll try to put more together for you bihbgm
Videos with voiceovers I think.
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.
***** well if isis didn't exist we wouldn't have to
***** 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.
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
If we didn't have to, Isis wouldn't exist
+GUERRILLACOMM LOL! ICS certification courses will always be boring! Been through the all! ICS 400 is a week of "fun"
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!

Riley Honey Media Thank you Riley,
"You gotta eat fast and when you can here" sounds like my old job as a dish washer...
I like the way you are doing it here. I was a State Firefighter one summer back in the late 60's. We didn't have the sophisticated tools and machinery you have today. Keep up the good work.
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
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...

+Wranglerstar Amazing footage on the day to day life of those unsung heroes risking life and limb for the sake of others.
+Wranglerstar Why were you starting fires at the start
+Kieren Nicholson it is called a fire break or fire line
I am a hotshot crew member
Ok thanks

2:24 Like that F550 Brush truck.
That seriously is awesome! I totally want one
Dan Carlin I'd be fine with the Raptor lol.
while nice to drive, Raptor's cant haul or tow nearly as much as a F550 Diesel.
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.
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
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.
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.
its fun stuff out there
What should I say now...
I'm even later.
love your videos wranglerstar, as a wildland firefighter I like being able to show my friends/family what I do in the summer. thanks!
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.
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
Regardless of format, the passion will speak for itself :)

How about those DC-10 pilots...? KA-RAY-ZEE~!
Low n slow!
Keep developing, your on the right track here. I found the video interesting. Its always fun to watch people at their work. The thumb nail of this video showed what looked like a wind powered generator on fire which is why I clicked on the video. Your living an interesting life.
Sling thermometer for temp and dew point?
The Hoosier Homesteader yes
The Hoosier Homesteader sling psychrometer
"The RH" Relative Humidity?
Don Gemus Yeah, that's right. Low RH is bad in terms of fire fighting and fire control.
the closer the dew point spread the more likely for visible precipitation. just a guess.
Would love to see more. Former volunteer ambulance driver, can't wait to get back into it.
wranglerstar,what was that tool you were spinning to check the weather??
Courtney Mellinger It's called a belt weather kit,
Why do you need to record the weather. What's it used for? Great videos. Keep them coming!
I just Googled it, pretty interesting tool. I would be interested in seeing a video on how to use it. Thanks for your reply
Courtney Mellinger interesting. We have the same odd last name

Pádraig Floyd i actualy did it for free in canada
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.

Steve Nash and when they got hit by tornadoes
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!
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!
Pretty cool video Cody I was digging the truck. I noticed the tires there I believe that truck should have a CTIS system for inflation and deflation according to terrain. I was kind a hoping you went over that I bet a lot of people would love to learn about that. Stay safe brother and thank you for what you do
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.
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
Love the Video as I was an old volunteer fire fighter In Athens pa .From the time I was 18 and now am 78 years old.
As a volunteer firefighter with some wilderness training I say thank you for your service. This is a cool video.
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 !
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!
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.
There is no amount of detail you could go into that would be too much for me. Glad you're safe and rested!
The majority of people only see what the news presents concerning a wild land fire. I think this is an awesome way for all of us to get a glimpse into what wild land firefighting is all about. Thank you for sharing with us!
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.
Thanks. Great video. Learned about the equipment. Thanks for doing that difficult job.
Hey Cody. I recently started following you. I too worked on this fire for my company Republic Services. The landfill in Roosevelt Washington. That day was a long day for us. We started at 4 am. I left home in Yakima Washington at 2am. and we were turned loose around 8am. the following morning, the second day of the fire. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic by trade and I'll tell ya, thank you! I'd rather skin my knuckles and knees.
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.

As an Australian volunteer firefighter it's great and informative to see how you deal with fire's during your fire season. We do not call them wildfires, we just call them bush fires, the term wildfires is an emotive wording and implies an out of control fire and while we know that this often happens, we consider a careful use of language has to be used to describe a fire. In bush Australia as in many states in your country we are trained in both bush fire and structural. Your video was an excellent training aid to show how firefighters in other countries deal with, what we call the RED STEER, keep up the great work, great video.
Love seeing vids about Wildland firefighters, my son is a HOTSHOT in California , they are always training & working out
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
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.
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!
When I was a kid I wanted to be a hotshot/ smokejumper. A career in wildland fire is very rewarding and very challenging from what I have seen from the fire guys I have worked with. I however chose to seek a career as a forester instead but I still make a point of it to maintain my qualifications and participate in new trainings so I can get out and be effective when I do go out on the line. Unfortunately my line time is not much as I left the military 3 years ago and when I am not working during the summers I attend college full time. Working where I do during the summer and being out in the woods as much as I am then, there is always a chance for me to be the initial response to an incident. I may be relatively new to this but I see value in non-fire natural resources personnel to keep current on their trainings. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I love wild land fire videos! Keep bringing them along. The more info the better?
My dad was a firearm he passed away May 23 2007. and that's why I have respect for you and your family Sir
I really like your channel because it seems like I learn something new each video. This firefighting stuff is no exception! I'm invested in the channel as a whole, and it doesn't really matter what the topic is... I'll watch it! Glad you made it home safe. My family said prayers for you each night as we put the kids to bed.
God bless from Indiana.
the dispatch voice over was a cool touch, very well put together video, probably my new favorite of your vids.
Awesome AWESOME! Keep them coming. Whatever format you think Cody. I liked the way you did this one. Glad your back home safe.
Only yesterday i discoverd your chanel, i'm a g«firefighter in portugal...
And with out a doubt, it is the best job in the world!
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!
I'm glad I found your channel. I'm in school getting a forestry degree to help my resume. It's hard getting a job with the USFS without enough real world experience.
I just love your videos man, maybe you wont see this comment at all but gotta say, I've learned a lot from watching your videos. And I'm glad that I discovered you recently, because there is a ton more to watch. Thanks for sharing your skills, knowledge, wisdom and connection with the Lord. Cheers from Bulgaria.
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!
I'm starting 130/190 this weekend. We had a huge fire that I worked this last week. Look up the Mims Pond fire in New Mexico. If you ever come down to New Mexico make your way down to Elephant Butte would love to show you the stations.
I would love to see more of the firefighting and the voice-over would be awesome!
Hey Cody, please share more. Commentary over your footage is great, but your video taking speaks for itself. Anything is great in my books. Show more in any way you can. Thanks
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.
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.
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!
Video with voice over, very interesting keep them coming, and thank you for your fire service.
THAT IS AWSOME !!!!! setting here watching that video with heart just a pounding. the excitement of helping people on a job that only a few can do. more video please
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!
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.
Yes, more please! What you're doing now is very satisfying.
Video with a voiceover explaining what is going on would be nice. I also liked finding out about the equipment like the guy talking about the truck. Overall I find the whole job fascinating, I'm sure others do too. Thank you for sharing your work!
Even as a Firefighter, I just ask that you share with the most information possible. I love to learn!
Sitting over here in happy Seattle-Land, most people don't realize what an effort it is to (try) get these fires under control in those conditions. That short 3 second clip of you? touching the ground looking for hot spots shows us all what it takes. Connects the human work up to the Caterpillar D7's. Thanks. Great editing of video and sound too.
I'm an Engine Boss in Idaho. Great video. Keep uploading the clips! (There's a severe lack of wildland fire videos on UA-cam)
Stay safe.
Really like the wildland firefighter vlogs. Mix it just like you did. Live feed with voice over explanations.
