Cody, I built my portable fire system like this:
3-point fork attachment for my tractor.
275 gallon IBC tote that rides on the forks.
PTO driven pump.
100’ of 3/4” hose.
With some basic fittings and hoses to hook it up, the system works great and only cost about $300. The PTO pump is capable of 300 psi at max RPM so you don’t even need to run the tractor much above idle to generate sufficient pressure.
The added benefit is that it runs on the tractor engine so there’s no extra engine to maintain and you can keep the grapple on the front of the tractor to pull fuel away from the fire.
What an excellent video to show self service fire protection. I spent 23 years in service on structure side of the fire world. It’s still more interesting to learn wildland fire.
Hearing him say “alpha chad” was hilarious
Chris Spencer that’s his dads place
Was a chad joke not a truth
As a wildland firefighter, really enjoyed that very last quote!! Much respect,stay safe all
I like the Forester twin-tip nozzle too. Its simple, works and has been around for decades. They were on my first engine I worked on with the Park Service 35 years ago.
They clog soo much is the only problem
As a structural fire guy, I can't help but be impressed with how little water you have to work with. I'm not a fan of brush fires. I'm spoiled by hydrants and large tankers (I think you guys call them "tenders"). One of the things you should teach in your new venture should be basics of woodland/interface for homeowners. They need to know when to stand and fight and when to bail out.
5 Summers with the USFS in N. California, you are absolutely right some of the best memories and experiences of my life
That was a ton of work to set that up to demonstrate for us. Thank you for going the extra mile. I know I'm a fire nut and this is valuable.
Nice setup.
Our hoses usually start in dimension where the normal firefighters end. So 2.5 inch is our small hose and we do 4 inch to feed and tee off.
Heavy stuff to drag into the bush, however we usually have good water sources reasonably close by.
I'm from West Virginia and we really appreciate people like you. I used to live in a mobile home and it took less than 7 minutes for it to be in complete ash. Thank you for all your services. May God bless you and your family.
fire fighter, soldiers, boy scouts, girl scouts, volunteer groups, etc. The experience learned and friendships made are priceless and never forgotten. For all the worrywarts out there. A little danger and thrills are good for the soul. Also they will not go into the field until their instructor believe them capable.
Back in the mid-'90s I was able to go on a couple of fires with a forest service crew. We went from western Colorado to Idaho for one trip, and farther west in Colorado for another. Both fires were great experiences! Great camaraderie on the line and in fire camp, and some of the hardest but best work I've ever done.
Excellent information about equipment for fighting wild land fire fighters! I am sure this will help have a certain amount security with having your own equipment and your experience. I do hope some of the young men will be inspired to become a fire fighter after listening to your video!👍 one of our neighbors son waited for an opportunity to join a local community fireman and he finally was excepted! Now he is married and has his own family. 👍
Haven't seen that footage in a while, remember that vid from a couple years ago.
Awesome information that I can refer to as a professional homeowner and CERT member. Thank you.
I'm not going to push the issue, I wish Matt the very best,
You also have to put the male end inwards to protect the threads. The couplings are made of brass and will dent and mis-shape very easily
Aluminium Storz fittings are the answer to that problem.
I carried a triangle file to fix that.
@@noahlamrock yep. We carry adaptors for a number of other styles, but the Rural Fire Service here in NSW Australia uses Storz fitting exclusively for bushfire fighting. They're simple, easy to maintain and you don't have to worry about issues with damaged threads. We encourage landowners to actually attach a Storz fitting to their water sources and put a sign on their gate, so the RFS knows where they can quickly draw water from during a fire.
Aluminum couplings brass is only used on vessels and specialty chemical fires
2 Summers with the USFS in N. California,15 years volunteer firefighter Butte county fire. Some of the best memories and experiences of my life. I miss it .But I set up with my own system to protect the area.
I'm kind of a part time wildland firefighter in Norway, and we uses only 1/4 turn couplings. We have 1.5" and 2.5" and 4" hoses.
Same in finland
I've recently discovered your videos, and they're truly fantastic. As a new EMT, you've inspired me to pursue wildland fire fighting. Thanks for all your hard work.
The fizz that you get from firefighting comes through in your voice, body language, and your enthusiasm. Thank you
I appreciate this video Cody. As a structural guy, I do need to have hero's too.
Loved this video. In the process of making a skid for our rural area as we speak. Called in many a drop here in Northern Saskatchewan
When drafting from a stream, or lake, keep a 5 gallon paint strainer to wrap around your foot valve. It keeps all the sediment out of your pump, and tank. We had a aluminum plate under our foot valves too, to keep it outta the sediment.
Great information Cody! This topic never gets old to me as we never know when we will have to saver our own structures out here. Firefighters do there best but it helps them help you! Thank you for what you do and God Bless you and your family!
I started watching that demo ranch exposed video at lunch today and was going to continue when I got home from work but it was marked private. I was disappointed that I couldn’t finish it.
I think that was because Cody accidentally left his phone number in that upload. I presume it will be reuploaded soon with the private information censored out.
Nachiket Mhatre I assume it was a sarcastic title. Did they work things out?
I firingbto know what happened
Yeah, that video was taken down while I was watching it.
Just as Nachiket mentioned, I too saw a private phone number in the video.
Was half way through when it stopped and wouldn't let me continue 😭
"Eight gallons a pound"? I'm glad to see that I am not the only person who says something the wrong way. As a teacher I have many opportunities to invert my words. Some students will not let it go...... Great video, keep up the good work.
LOL, I missed that one.
Great information. Been a local volley for many years. Its very interesting in the little differences.
Currently working on my s 130 and s 190.
Thanks for all the hard work to explain the process!!!! 💯💪🇺🇸👍👀
I've been looking forward to this kind of video and I'm glad you got rid of the other video
This was awesome to get the different view on these types of fires! Stay safe and thank you for what you do!
Please second video! I really enjoyed the prior over view of what you and the other guy had in your packs. It really helped me prep and pack for my first trip out west two years ago. So please a second video!
As a career structure Engineer Operator going through S190/S130 this week....I appreciate the ribbing. Mind blowing how different the wildland side is. Completely different. I'm throughly enjoying it, however.
I love that you still have that pallet of hose you were "holding for a friend" a couple years ago.
8 pounds per gallon is what water weighs. I was a volunteer in N,Y state and a call firefighter in MASS for many years. They were the best years of my life. I really liked this video. All the best to you and your family. Ray Valley Central Florida
Thanks for sharing this. Cool to see some of the interesting tools and methods that keep us safe.
My old man talked the army out of a duce and a half to start a voluntary fire department in big Rock tn in the 80s he mounted a large tank in the back and put a gasoline power water pump on it it was amazing how far the water would spray. We would load it in a local creek and actually put out a few fires 🔥 the siren was mandatory 😁
I have looked at this situation from all sides, and I conclude that Cody is 100% correct. Matt messed up by making this seem like Cody's problem. Cody was very clear from the beginning that he was only looking for a quote to warehouse the hats and fulfill individual orders. Since he was purchasing the hats and having them shipped to Bunker Branding, the cost of the hat should have been irrelevant. If you go back to the beginning of Bunker Branding, it was clearly looked at as a money grab by Matt. Once he saw he could sell Off The Ranch and Demolition Ranch merchandise that cost him anywhere from $1 to $5 per item in bulk from overseas for $20 to $60, he got the idea to provide that service to others, particularly UA-camrs. His company is clearly experiencing growing pains and who knows how many other people they have tried to take advantage of.
This seems to be the best explanation. Matt also needs to be addressing this internally with his company rather than blaming his customers for the shortcomings of his company.
Yes, this is exactly it. You couldn't have said it better
True
You guys act like a sewing circle of women.
@@divinebarrel And what does that make you?
Really interesting to see what kind of hoses you use there. Our hoses are way different here in Europe. Good luck on putting down fires
I really enjoy watching your videos about wildland fire
I always love these fire fighting videos. I'm glad you decided to post one again.
Thanks to the some of the things I've learned from you, I've started collecting some things that could help if I come across a fire or am unfortunate to have one of my own.
Thanks to this video, I'll be adding a pool or stream to my list of 'must haves' for my next home.
If I wasn't a disabled veteran and I'm only 34 I'd absolutely do this. But I've gotten the stories from 2 years overseas.
Thank you for your service.
I was halfway through your hat breakdown video when it was made private. I wish you would make it public again. I have been subscribed to both of you for years, and I'm sure you'll get this sorted out.
What was Cody saying in the half you saw it was private before I could see it ?
I clicked into a new window and when I went to go watch it, it was removed. I would love to see the video as well. I am with Cody on this one.
@@bigwillysgarage2301 He was doing a breakdown on the emails and defending himself from them saying that he was making up the pricing, etc. It was a great video, and I'm sure once the truth comes out they can all put this behind them.
Honestly it just needed to be made private/taken down. Not trying to say anything bad about either party, but sometimes things are better left alone and can be perceived in a negative light. If you read this Cody, you make great videos, as does Matt, but I'm glad you made the video private, I understand venting, but discretion is the better part of valor.
The first part was good, in the second he kinda lost his cool by going personal on the guy... which was totally fair like he was treated, but still maybe better it was removed
Classic Wranglerstar, excellent and informative.
Firefighters in Poland fold their hoses in a different way - they first fold it in half so both ends meet each other and then you start coiling it from the folded part. This way when you uncoil it you have both ends with you so you can connect the hose to water and run with the other connector to the fire. I don't know which method is better but i think it's a cool thing to know :D
The real question we all want to know is "does Cody even have time to sleep?" Dude's got knowledge on about everything.
On top, he is mostly a self taught guy!
He might be a pro firefighter but 99.9% of the stuff he calls himself a pro at he only has very limited knowledge about.
@@jpa1282 What exactly has he called himself a pro of?
He’s a self made man, and not scared to try to fix anything.
@@jpa1282 At least he tries and does something, instead of crossing his arms and complaining about thing turning bad....I respect a lot people like him: they try, fail, retry, succeed....!
Thanks for the video, great points. I’m waiting for an interview for the Forest Fire Warden position in my area
I have no known need for this knowledge but I love these videos and appreciate you sharing your wisdom 👍
This is why I'm subscribed to your channel. Great video.
I was a forest firefighter for two summers back in the late 60's for Cal Fire. Quite the experience.
WASNT IT CDF THEN?
hi Cody Thanks again for sharing the information on wildfire gear. I cant remember if I asked where is the other fire skid is? The other thing you can share with your viewers is sprinkler on the home . Here is BC we are using them big time.
try rolling your hose in a doughnut roll You get access to both couplings before you toss it out. Works great
What a timely video! Today was my first day of basic training classes!
I always like seeing your gear every year!
To be honest I was a little shocked you use that small of hoses! I'm more familiar with city/utility water systems where we are dealing with much larger lines and higher flows. Super interesting! Thanks for the great info and video!
The 1 ton fire truck I drove had only 175 gallons onboard you have to conserve your water in the forest.
@@parkermcwilliams1058 that's crazy to me! We would move more water than that in a minute coming off a standard 2.5" nozzle on a hydrant.
@@dougk.5501 when your a long way from water supplies and long time for 2ed engine showing up water can be your life. I've saved water and fought fire dry with hand tools so we had it to save us.
So excited to explain all the toys , but I thought you said your done with the fire departments. Glad you still have the caring and excitement.
Really fascinating Cody. Be safe and good luck.
Always admire your enthusiasm Cody👍
Oh!!! Structural guys need heroes? Now that is funny!!! Great video, congratulations on the move!!
Agreed! I'd rather work structures in BA personally but that's cause I get a rush cause of the higher risk factor.
One of my favorite books is the Pocket Ref Thomas J Glover. Has a ton of information in a small size including friction loss for water hose. I picked mine up at a local hardware store for $12 but they are available everywhere I have even seen them at Harbor Freight.
Lol AWESOME fire hose launch!!!
Hello mr wranglerstar i have a trick for you. If you pull water out of a source with that one way valve alvays dip it in the water so it s full and it would fill quicker.
Did midwest brush fire fighting. Backpack hand sprayers, leather flappers, shovels, hoes and rakes. Hot hard work.
That sounds like us here in the UK; Knapsack sprayer, rubber beaters, shovels, hay rakes. If an off-road fire appliance becomes available to us we are VERY lucky. The fire service I serve only has 2 off-road vehicles operational; a Mercedes Unimog and a Land Rover with a water bowser trailer.
I really like the fact that you could’ve easily edited out the leaking hose, and decided not to...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I've worked a few grass fires with 25L per minute branches/nozzles on a light vehicle with 500L tank, gives you around 20 minutes of water that can be very effective. But then again I've run 475L per minute on bush fires and ended up having to evacuate because it wasn't effective. Being able to use water effectively is extremely useful. Also, all our fire services use external lug so we can all hook in to each other easily and we only need to carry size adaptors, not type adaptors
It would be very satisfying to have an tank and outfit like that Cody. Thanks for covering this.
amazing info you can't go wrong watching this channel
Thanks, very informative, and interesting.
Love the fire stuff so more videos on this stuff please
I learned something, more than what I originally knew. Thanks..
What happened to demolition ranch EXPOSED
Because his phone number wasn’t redacted (shown) in one part of the video.
i have the video saved i had saved the video because i thought it was going to get removed
He just leaked his phone number so he took it down. Nothing about negative responses.
@@technologydemand2134 me too lol
Great video Cody
Your saying in the end made me chuckle.🧑🏻🚒
Great video @WranglerStar
The personal gear would be cool to see cody @WranglerStar
When you were speaking of the "Quality" of the Emergency Equipment you use.
The quality of that equipment is due to being designed by experienced adults.
God help us all with the current crop of young people.
Also, I noticed none of that Hose Equipment had a USB connector (thank goodness, something can still operate without the internet).
On the other hand, how will he update the firmware on his hoses without a USB interface?
The 2" fitting is for a primer attachment like a Mark 3 kit
Step #1: Buy a helicopter
Thanks Cody. Great information.
Very interesting stuff, Cody!
Keep up the great video's Cody
Very interesting stuff, if I was 30 years younger... the socks really pulled this one together. Great content as always.😊😊
Thank You for sharing this very important knowledge, much appreciated Sir.
Another great video Sir
Good Song for the Helicopter Scene! Got to Love ZZ Top!
Pumps create flow. Restriction to flow make a pressure
High flow,low pressure. Low flow, high pressure.
And, restriction to flow at the end makes velocity.
Friction loss cuts pressure in the nozzle, not the tank. Tanks not pressurized.
Awesome video! Thank you.
Stay strong Cody, you help out alot
watching this from my fire line at the Apple Fire in SoCal near my city🔥
We have all our Honda stuff with the red and white tank, they always start first time.
Thank Yourself and all Firefighters for their service.
In Ontario we’re just floating all the time. So much water it’s a different game altogether
That intro was awesome!
I love the hero comment. Please share more knowledge on this
The firefighting, I mean. You are already my hero
Please do a video on the pack gear. I would like to see it.
Very interesting thanks!
Love the passion! Such cool equipment!
Such a great help. You are a really good teacher. I learn for from you than my captain
Always great videos!!
