Join me, Wranglerstar, as I prepare for the upcoming wildland fire season with my Honda Pioneer and Qtac fire skid. In today’s video, I’ll show you how to defend your homestead, especially when fire departments are stretched too thin and the safety of your home might depend on you.
We'll start by getting the fire skid ready and head out to a nearby stream to draft water. I’ll explain the drafting process used by wildland firefighters, demonstrating step-by-step how to pull a draft with the pump.
For the grand finale, we’ll conduct a flow test to see which frost-free hydrant will fill the Qtac’s 85-gallon water tank the fastest: the 1" or the 3/4". Stay tuned and don’t miss the excitement!
Don’t forget to visit Wranglerstarmerch.com for exclusive gear and special offers. Orders placed today include a special gift and free shipping. Our shirts are 100% USA-made and available for $40.

You're essentially my youtube dad. the things that ive learned from watching your videos for the past 8 years are endless, and i appreciate it more than you'll ever know Mr Cody. I've watched jack grow up over the years and I'll say he is very blessed to have you as a father. He'll never forget what a phenomenal father you have been to him, as well as the rest of us young men who watch your channel. - a 24 yr old from Texas
Pay it forward brother. That amplifies the transfer of wisdom multigenerationally!
Amen
No man can be a Blacksmith AND a Farmer. Communities are essential, and building the right ones even more. Keep up the great work brother.
You can learn both and be proficient at both.
You can not perform both.
Holders of knowledge can absolutely help lead and train communities. But can not be one on their own.
Modern appliances makes dabbling much easier; a Propane bottle, something to whack with and upon, and you can get much done.
I argue that one man can. Modern tools, expanded capabilities. A tractor, some implements, and a normal sun up to sun down schedule. Get busy!
@@izzyplusplusplus1004 unless you make those tools yourself, my point stands. You did not mine the ore, forge the steel, nor make the tool. You buy it from someone who does.
@@FeeNixBeech Do I have to build the tractor too? Design software and a remote program to make the tractor do it's job autonomously?
Oh right, someone else already did that.
My point overrides yours and breaks it. So does Dick Proenneke. He survived til old age by himself. In Alaska. Building, hunting, cooking, fixing, self reliance. Where are you village idi ots coming out from? Village mentality and a lack of personal responsibility is what you've got, and American self reliance is what I have. I am a mechanic, carpenter, outdoorsman, survivalist, raft guide, professional rope and ladder access climber, as well as a marksman, black belt, father of four.
Get busy, quit waiting for your buddy to village you.
Anyone who says get a real job is a slave to the mind control and should be ignored, keep up the great work Sir
The flow rate issue is likely due to the hydrant needing adjustment. They don’t always come setup to go full chooch out the box. Should be a set screw where the lever arm connects to the lifting rod. Adjust accordingly
It could also be the long-distance run of the 1' tubing vs the short run of the 3/4" tubing feeding the respective hydrants underground. Good to know @jgress85.
This video is so much about what I love about your videos and why I have been a loyal watcher for the last 10 years! Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and experience! I appreciate you thank you!!
For those that matter. All brain degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's is the result of low animal fat diets. Now which targeted societies switched from say eating butter, lard, tallow etc to eating seed oils oh about the time Alzheimer's took off...
Remember, cholesterol derives from fats, cholesterol for the brain is used as insulators around neurons and brain degenerative diseases are essentially shorts between neurons...
You could test the pressure at both water faucets while they're running which would give you a better idea of why the 1" flow rate is lower.
This is the right answer. Also keep in mind that the 3/4" is closer to the source and the 1" one has some length of pipe from the split. If you want to make a full comparison, the 3/4" would need to run a same length of pipe.
Of course it could also be something in the faucets.

As a 25 year old man who lost his father as a child, i had to figure everything out on my own. You sir are a man i strive to be like. Thank you for your educational content and words of wisdom.
Scenery and videography looks outstanding. Love the honest, non AI content.
I don't have any heroes, nor do I desire to have any... But, after 47 yrs of living, I can say that Cody is an admirable guy and I feel like he's a friend that I do not know. What he does for young men trying to make their way in this world is valuable and immeasurable.
Nice fire skid - if you’ve got the $6,600 base price. I’ll have to make due with a 1,000 liter IBC tote on an old trailer with a Harbor Freight gas engine pump. Not so much “fizz” in that set up, but it beats throwing water by the bucket.
Great idea, got much of those things laying around here.
Young 20s East coast man here. Love the content. Learning a lot from it keep up the good work
You don’t have to predict that truth, honesty, and reality will one day be valuable…..it already is! As a culture we have lost our way and need to come back to our first love. Through the lens of your camera maybe some will find their way! Thanks for great content as always!
“Must be nice”, I damn sure hope it is! Those of use who remember the jeep hood forestry days rejoice in watching you be able to process and gift cords and cords of wood to your community on modern top of the line equipment. May many more blessings befall you.
I like all the little interludes edited in
You're getting less water flow due to the larger diameter of the pipe size. It's going to flow slower because it's less pressure in a 1 inch compared to a 3/4 inch pipe. It's also why usually there is a difference in wall thickness in different sized pipes to hold the pressure. The pressure from the main is continuous unless you reduce the size of the pipe.
You’re so right about people saying things like “I’ve got an actual job”. I’m very young and live a life similar to yours. I’ve learned to be very careful who I keep close.
"cat like reflexes" lol - good one
It is quite the honor for you to provide mentorship to younger dudes, and heck any dude - some of these videos provide great advice for any young man coming up! Good on you WS
Not sure what "some people" are complaining about. I'd ask, are you not entertained? I appreciate all your work assessing a wide range of gear and tools, and also the planning and building. I particularly like the use of tools and maintaining and operating equipment. You show how you got there and are honest if there is a mistake. I have not the slightest issue with the fact that you can afford high value items. It is part of the buy quality and buy less philosophy and it is apparent throughout the production. If a viewer has any sense at all they know content creation of this kind is a lot of work. All the very best to you and yours.
Best neighbor there could ever be. Has the tools and know how for literally anything.
My favorite is the opulence of this man, teasing the east coast man.
ajust the handle to pull up the rod out of the hydrant farther resulting in more water flow. it appeared to have slop in the handle when you turned it on.
It must be nice..... I'm genuinely happy that you have the things you do. I don't understand people who need to blame or tear down others for the successes they've made.
Get a real job...... If you are providing for your family and are content in the life you lead, that is the only purpose "a real job" is for.
I can only guess that it is envy that makes people comment this way. I, for one, am truly happy for your success and enjoy the fact that you share your experiences with us. Thank you beloved.
I do hope one day to have my own little slice of heaven. If I can manage a fraction of the output on that said piece of land, that Cody has, I will be most grateful. What I appreciate about this channel is that it sets an ideal. Most of us won’t achieve that ideal but it’s important to aim sufficiently high in the hopes that you may obtain it. You can’t achieve anything unless you set the goal. My friends we aren’t going to luck into this kind of life.
This is just the right content for theese times. Would love to see more on protecting our properties from fires.
The way you ended gave me some peace. God bless you, too, wild man!
I have pulled a draft at 18 feet but I will say the pump packings were 100% and the primer pump was in great working order, 6 inch intake, camlock hoses and what a joy to watch that water climb to the top. My gator I have a 100 gallon tank with the pressure washer, used for pressure washing and I did utilize it for some wildland use a half dozen years back, fill the bladder bags from the tank dump and dig in deep with the pressure washer. Worked the fire for three days, long days a few dozen folks working in less than great terrain.
I vehemently support your notion of self reliance. I can without reservations claim a stalwart support in the defense of our constitutions base foundation. Life, Liberty, & Happiness.
At a flow rate of 20 gal/min you will have a friction loss of 31.3 psi/100ft for 3/4" sch 40 pvc pipe and 9.4 psi/100 ft for 1" sch 40 pvc pipe. (lower flow rates will have less pressure loss)
So the 1" pipe is definitely going to help out with the flow rate at the hydrant, but if the pipe run of the 1" is significantly longer than the 3/4" you will still end up with a lower flow rate at the 1" hydrant due to the pressure loss in the system.
Hey Cody, I haven't seen anyone touch on it yet, but I personally really liked the "clothing sidebar"! I'm working on building a quality, "buy once cry once" wardrobe, and insights into what you've found to be quality really helps with that! I'd love to see more of these in future videos.
I apologize for my previous actions
I couldn't agree more. The value of realness and truth is skyrocketing. The world is becoming so perceptive through information mediums, that pretty soon it won't accept anything less than the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Some people think we are now living in a post-truth world, but acually the lies are being unraveled and the truth is becoming the mainstream.
appreciate this type of content in this day in age, keep up the good work
You are absolutely correct with shoes and damage to the foot structure
Have you thought about getting one of those mini Japanese Kei fire trucks for your homestead?
Its good to see wrangler star is back on his meds... I jest but seriously, the bit about people not knowing what would've been basic info just a few decades ago is scary. People have slowly had their agency stripped away from them, and been told its a good thing.
When you pip broke down your gear/clothes, I instinctively hit the like button. Information, within and already informative video. I trust your thought process buying, and sourcing gear. So its good to get the full details.
I remember watching old chainsaw and axe videos he used to do. Now he's doing drip checks showing us each piece of his over $1600 outfit. $300 bucks on a gd flannel shirt? $400 bucks for a vest? Crazy that I used to relate to this guy 😂
Love your videos Cody, so inspiring to me
20 years military plagued by plantar fasciitis....retired and switched to open toe shoes and it has went away
You are 💯 correct about the job/time thing. That’s what I’m working on in my life right now. I have the land. Just need to get the rest going
You have most certainly achieved the goal
Dont call Jack's friends pathetic. Call their dads pathetic. It isn't a young man's fault what skills he was raised learning.
Split screen content is very clever and has added to your already quality content
Former FF, love your FF rig, it's awesome.
Texas Pro-Ho really enjoy your content. 🙏
Let's see Momma kitty and the new kitten interact!!
Toupée is on point with the wind today.
I don’t think most realize the amount of work it takes to produce a video as well as you do. The different camera angles, the lighting, audio… it makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Maybe a behind the scenes video showing the effort involved just to make a “simple” short video would be enlightening to some naysayer’s. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to your contract. Truly professional quality.
I watched to see the trailer and got a fashion show.
A great prediction for the future cody, I certainly agree!
12:10 is the absolute truth... 9-5 is slavery. I have a "job" working for the railway, hopefully I will be done there and move on and grow my flocks on the homestead. Thanks Beloved
Seems like two 1gallon offroad style gas jugs would be a great addition to the fire skid
I think a proper fire skid like that is crucial for anyone who lives rurally. How’s the kitten doing?
I'll upload you a kitten update now, stand by,
Uploading the #short now,
how're those mittens doin' ? Soft Eh?* /s
Hey Cody, anyone that tells you to get a real job....is just jealous.
God bless brother.
Agreed on the truth prediction. Had the exact same conversation with several people over the last few weeks.
If I remember correctly, the 20' drafting guideline is if you are at sea level. The higher the elevation, the less drafting distance you can pull.
Fortunately I live in a tropical country. I think I have worn shoes twice since I retired a year ago. Barefoot or flipflops.
Always love the informative content you put out even if I’m not on property
you are an interesting fellow, ill give you that. never a dull moment.
Whoever welded that shining red tank must be a badass.
Working 7 to 5 building the stuff he enjoys...
Also if you got flat eastshore feet, cobblestone will train back those arches in your feet. Recommend the book Born to Run, it talks about this and barefeet runningstyle 😊
1:04 Ohhh, so that's where all the bodies are buried.
All hydrants should have a back flow preventer installed.
I genuinely love your content, and absolutely agree regarding the "real job" comment. I'm looking to break free and move to the land.
I’ve been wearing Keen shoes for years, and they have a wide toe box, flat sole, and good quality at a reasonable price.
Altras are freaking amazing for what it is worth - plenty of zero drop options that have ample forefoot room
I sure do love my Van's skate shoes. Comfy, durable, removable inserts, tough sole, breathable canvas, perfect for climbing billboards, and embankments. Decent traction even on soft dirt or mud. Can't say those barefoot style shoes could handle what my skate shoes can. At least that's been my experience.
Middle America flyover state man here.
People have no idea how much effort goes into making content to the level that you do…
start a series explaining engines
I’ve always enjoyed these videos.
Day 3 of asking for an axe collection video please
Hey cody when installing the line to your 1 inch tap you need to account for friction loss over the distance you are running. being a plumber in aus I would run no less than 1"and a quarter to 1"and a half under ground if going a distance away from mains to account, then raise up out of ground in 25mm or 1 inch.
Kind regards
Andrew
Love your videos!
Nice post. Try GEKA couplers for your water hose.
🇺🇸
Loving your videos Wrangler
Perhaps it was the snake on the rock you were standing near.
You need to look at the Woodford hydrants. I think there real nice and all my 1” hydrants have fantastic flow.
Slower due to friction loss over the distance to the shop? Longer pipe requires upsizing to reduce friction loss as I’m sure you already know. It’s possible that while the other is 3/4, it’s a shorter run to the mainline, whatever that may be so less distance for friction loss. Just a thought.
6:50 wranglerstar: don’t run it hard then shut it off
Also wranglerstar: stepping off the side beside before it comes to a complete stop 😂 do as he says not as he does
East Coast Sissy Mittens are playing at the Mercury Lounge this weekend.
this is a great name for a band
Have all their albums!
Liking the new editing style!
Sorry, I saw the title and couldn't help but think of Paul "National Treasure" Harrell's rant from a few years ago.
Can you reference a title, so we can go watch it? Is it on Paul Harrell's guntube channel?
I like the thought of genuine content that shows the mistakes and mishaps. Its litterally all the content I have made goes that way. I'm not sure the UA-cam audience has the attention span for it though. I hope they prove me wrong.
Homesteading and homeschooling have always been the answers.
If you make the State the Father, you're just slaves.
Strong families aren't slaves.
It's so important that the Father is there!
If water cost the same as milk to fight fires I'm glad I have cows
I work for wa state natural resources agency and I think this guy has better equipment than we do.
Jack's friends' parents have left the chat!
Have you thought about getting like a white tout that you could put on a three or four foot tall stand? You could fill it and then use it as a fast gravity fill location for emergencies. You could also hook up a small solar powered pump to keep it filled and water moving in side so it’s not stagnant. Keep it at the river .
I have a pair of comtacs I specifically only use for shooting/communicating. And I have one pair I use as a loaner or when I’m using my mulcher. Thanks Uncle Sam
some delicious laminar flow from 10:25
Power stance
3/4 got it thanks
Interesting result...
A man like you I would think you would have it set up so you actually had a fire hydrant that you could just run hoses off right there
Hi Mr w. Now I'm just an east coast plumber, however I think your water spigot issue is probably related to pressure & distance from the source, the closer to the source the better Pressure and better volume of water delivery per min. Also referred to as the term GPM, my suspicion is that the 1in spigot is further from the source of water and as a result has lower pressure, the same phenomenon is replicateable with using a 5 ft hose and a 150 ft hose. You should grab a hose bib adapted pressure gauge for a few bucks online and you can find out if this is the case.
(Edit typos)
9-5 gives me shivers... however lets not forget the millions that have spent their lives working dawn to dusk exposed to whatever the weather in tough plantation fields using rudimentary tools or the ones that are currently working in a sweatshop somewhere else in the world barely affording enough to feed themselves.... A comfortable, clean and warm 9-5 office with a decent salary in manhattan would feel like paradise to all those ones... then the land: if every human could be lucky to have a few acres to himself/herself and respective families we would need several planets not just this one - remember not every single square is habitable and much is desert, water, mountains / rocks and whatever is left that hasn't been destroyed like the Amazonia needs to be preserved... This planet has never been perfect since humans came to earth and it will only get worse as we plod along.... The "aim" has always meant different things to different people and society has evolved to be so detached from reality that many people think that eggs and milk (for example) are the output of a factory somewhere....Keep enjoying what you have which is precious and keep posting which is always much appreciated. Thank you
I think your prediction will come to pass and I had wondered how you always stop in frame. XD
More like dream job and set up!
