Came here to see some info about a Coaxsher chest rig. ( I just bought the molle harness to give me configuration options.) Found a couple of fellow Oregon SAR team members. Subbed to the channel. Thanks for the great work guys. Stay safe and thank you for serving your community.

Great equipment and advice,the chalk idea is great idea, that new vest looks very interesting,I used to use a forester vest which worked great most of the year but switched to my backpack and am trying out an Amazon chest harness at the moment which seems to be ok so far. Great videos
The Deployed Logix Load-Bearing Harness (deployedlogix.com/specialty-products/usar-load-bearing-harness/) is a great upgrade from a forestry vest. Chest Harnesses are difficult because there are so many differences in them. I think a person could buy two or three before finding the one that works best (who has the money for that as a volunteer!). Thanks for your comments, - Lance
@@itsyaboimat2393 I Agree. Six years later I still use my Coaxsher chest rig as my primary accessory for carrying equipment in the field. Thank you for the comment. - Joe
I agree with a chest rig or fanny pack that you can access independently. With a backpack, you constantly need to ask someone else to dig in your pack unless you want to stop and unload. I do see a need to carry water.
I had to learn all this the hard way. When I first started, I was the guy holding everybody up while I was taking my pack off and digging through it to find stuff. It’s very convenient having the radio and GPS right at my fingertips. Thank you for the comment.-Joe
the website says the "work platform" with the lanyard attached at 7:30 is a quick access IFAK. Thats what the little red tab denotes, medical pouch.
Awesome comment. Thanks for pointing that out! - Lance

@@2sarguys oh cool! Will do. ❤️
Carried a very similar radio pouch doing oilfield work. Works in all conditions, and with all types of clothing. Eventually made my own.
Custom work is always a great way to get exactly what you want. I have altered different parts of my gear to make it work better. - Lance
It would be cool to see a picture of your custom pouch. Thanks for the reply - Joe

I use that Coaxsher chest rig for my fire department for wildland and SAR callouts I HIGHLY recommend if you can afford it you purchase one

Also, spare batteries go in my Coaxsher. We love the SARTOPO (when in cell range:)
Sometimes I carry a spare battery cube for my cell phone. Probably should always carry it. - Joe

What flashlight and clip is that?
It’s a Coast HB7R USB rechargeable flashlight - the clip comes with it. - Joe
