RC was the best! Its changed since I was a kid, but I remember scrounging around looking for quarters to go to the vending machine down the street to buy a can...hotter the day, colder the drink. Boy, it was awesome.
Gerard Schlundt I remember RC was the first soda in 16 oz bottles. It cost $.11 at the time and a Moon pie was $.05. Tells ya how far back I go! I'm pretty sure the RC bottle was returnable in NYS for $.01 as well!
Here in Missouri the other day the sun was a strange orangish yellow color from all the wild fires out west and I found my self thinking about you Cody and wondering if you were alright and how you were fairing. It was refreshing to see this video showing all of us here in RUclips land that your okay. Many thoughts and prayers to you and all wild land fire fighters and to their loved ones back home including Mrs.W and Jack.
This reminds me of when I was in PA, south of the Canadian Wildfires, there was so much smoke that I could look at the sun and it was almost completely red.
Southern treat - RC Cola/4 corner nabs/Moonpie. NC gal here... that combo is from the 60's. Haven't had one in about 40 years lol. Thanks for your service, Cody. Be safe.
Love the firefighting videos. Fires are just an hour or so from here in our part of Canada. Many smoky mornings and evenings. Have family on evac standby SW a few hours from here. God bless and be safe. Thanks Mrs. W for holding down the fort.
Cody I am really glad you posted a video. I am located a long distance away from the west coast. I have just seen the news coverage and I've been a little worried about you. Be safe
Reminds me when I was working on the Lime fire in Northern California. We stayed in the fair grounds in the town of Hayfork California. The logistical support is amazing, I learned some cool stuff. Hard work but something to remember.
I was doing support for the McFarland Fire this August not far from Hayfork where the Monument Fire was threatening that town. Hard work, LONG hours and as you said - something to remember. Sadly I'm sure there will be more fires in that area in the coming time. Be well and be safe
The "hateful red delicious". Hahaha! I worked at a fancy resort here in Western WA when I was in college and they insisted on keeping a bowl of red or green delicious apples on the front desk for guests at check-in. I tried many times to convince them to change to a better apple, but the refused because they wanted the aesthetic.
Eyes constantly assaulted with salt from sweat. Ashes in the nose. Constantly getting a lung full of smoke. Then the flare ups that make your run from the fire line to keep from getting scorched. Fun stuff... and yes, I mean that...it was fun. I loved it.
Its a scary and tragic thing that you have to go deal with these fires but it is also a amazing and self less that you put yourself in harms way to help others when you have sooo much to loose! Thank you for what you do, and thank you for making these vids and taking your daily subscribers along on these advenures and giving us a inside view of what you guys deal with up there! Pretty damn cool!!!!!
Thank you for all the hard work you've been doing over this week. I've got family in the area and it's a relief knowing hard working people such as yourself are there to help.
Thank you Cody for what you and the other fire fighters do. I appreciate you showing us a little of what you do and how supplies and equipment are supplied. Thank you again. Take care, be careful and God bless.
Love those Sikorsky's... no photo ever does them justice compared to being right next to one. Rain hasn't showed here yet, hope you all get some soon as well.
My grandson is a Midnight Suns firefighter out of Fairbanks, Alaska. His crew just finished up rest week and are now headed to Kootenai, Montana to assist there. Safety for all these brave men and women for their work.
Good to see you out in the field Cody, between this year's fires and the severe weather we've been receiving I've been inspired to re-up my red card next year and get back out there. Keep up the good work brother, work smart stay safe.
Stay safe out there! Prayers for you and all of the other firefighters out battling these blazes. I wish we could send all of this rain we are getting on the Gulf Coast up there to you guys. You need it more than we do!
Thank you Cody for what you do for your neighbors and your nation. Without people like you many people would be totally unprotected from wildfire. Thanks to your family too. They also make it possible for you to do what you do. Godspeed and may He protect you and your fellow firefighters through all of this.
Moon pie! Those are made in my town Chattanooga Tennessee! Yes that is a southern thing. I hope you ate and enjoyed it. Keep up the good work fighting fires. We are battling hurricanes in my region.
Wow!! Thats an amazing job then! Cody is still giving us quality videos while he is out there. God Bless him! He is one of my role models, along with Joel Salatin, and Paul Gautschi
I uploaded video of a larger remote control tracked chipper last winter it's got a 500h.p. Cat engine apparently and loaded with an excavator with a log grapple. Incredible things to see in action.
Your videos have been eating my sleep up lately lol. What a great find! So many good videos. Not a lot of forest fires here in Wisconsin to fight but it's so interesting to watch, and a good change of pace from structural firefighting. Stay safe out there brother.
WOW, they really give you good amount for lunches, all this cost for all over heads for the fire must be huge, i dont think people understand the cost involved for everything, nice work for everyones effort from the office to the fields, appreciated
Just found your channel, love the videos, watched everything about wildland firefighting that you have, keep em' coming, my favorite parts are of you just out and about while you're working. Thanks for posting
I miss and love the Wildland Firefighting videos! Not to suggest I wish for wildfires but these are the videos I enjoy the most. Be safe Cody!! God Bless.
That's better then they lunch that was provided for us at the 2013 BSA National Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. Myself and so many other staff members complained about how awful it was. More like a snack then a lunch.
Firefighting all together is the best job, I enjoy working for the City as a structural firefighter but I also enjoy where I volunteer and the rural area some structural some wildland some urban interface. I don't have my red card yet, and at the moment I am working on getting my degree for my career department but hoping soon to get started and my red card. I do like wildland firefighting, but I also like seeing the incident command system in action on those larger incidents. There are so many different resources coming from different areas working through many operational periods and yet every one knows what they are assigned to do and able to work together. As a career firefighter in the City (Love my job don't get me wrong) but usually we are working with the same people, and normally only working for a few hours at a time so we do use the incident command system on a smaller scale but it's on the bigger incidents that it shines. It just, as you say, gives me the fizz.
God's best to you Cody! Thanks for all your hard work fighting the fires and trying to save people's homes and surrounding land! God protect you and everyone else out there and bring you home safe!
Mystery Ranch Hot Spot + Crew Bag and Hydro 3L. He has also used a Coaxsher Ranger Pack but if I remember right he didn't like the way that it didn't do tight compression on all of the components, so he went to the Mystery Ranch. Both are pretty good packs.
WHAT!!! You've never tasted a Moon Pie?!! Oh Man! That's just down right sac religious! Get one and throw a little "dabasco" on it! Now that's a REAL treat! Texas Tough!
How's the fire doing up there at the moment? I live in SW Washington and as of late I haven't seen anything on the news about it nor can I find an accurate fire map... Good luck and stay safe!
I’m probably a little bit late, but what did you do to get your foot in the door, any prerequisites and training, any volunteer work, I’m interested in this job
Thanks for the glimpse into the life of a wildlands firefighter. I agree about Red Delicious - they have bred the taste and texture completely OUT of the apple. YUCK. It is about the worst apple I have ever had. They USED to be good. 50+ years ago.
I am relieved to see you are safe and healthy...the fires claimed 3 responders already...prayers to their families.
Hand crews not engine slugs
Godspeed Cody!
someone should loop that at 0:28 into an endless gif
looks like the seven dwarfs walking to their mine.... just more of them :D
heyerstandards I charge 50buck per frame
take look at the hand tools. they each serve purpose and an order while digging hand line.
heyerstandards
Totally.
This really reminded of the "7 Dwarves" and made me laugh.
Thank you for the inside look at what you men do for us!! Thank you for your service!!
VCG Construction what’s up Vince I didn’t know you watched wranglerstar
And women
nice job Cody...stay safe!
You have to have an "RC Cola" with the Moon Pie.
RC was the best! Its changed since I was a kid, but I remember scrounging around looking for quarters to go to the vending machine down the street to buy a can...hotter the day, colder the drink. Boy, it was awesome.

Without videos like this, I wouldn't have a clue. Scary and amazing, thanks.
Southern treat - RC Cola/4 corner nabs/Moonpie. NC gal here... that combo is from the 60's. Haven't had one in about 40 years lol. Thanks for your service, Cody. Be safe.

You could of picked a way cooler soundtrack. My god. Play some acdc these guys are badasses.
I was thinking more along the lines of Slayer would fit 😂

@3:15 A HUGE BOTTLE OPENER! I want to see that beer bottle! :)
Thank you for doing a job most of us would never be able to do.
thanks for taking us along Cody
Thank you for your Service
Be safe out there buddy!

Thank you Cody for what you and the other fire fighters do. I appreciate you showing us a little of what you do and how supplies and equipment are supplied. Thank you again. Take care, be careful and God bless.
I have a Ms 311, love it. Not a pro saw but it will still throw down. Stay safe Cody

You hang tough Mr. Wrangler⭐️, simplicity is always the best strategy.
I agree on the red delicious apple. I might eat one if I am hungry and there is nothing else to eat.
Yep, they're the worst.
It's a crunchy water sphere - no flavor
Honeycrisp!
mbcris - I really like Gala followed closely by golden delicious.
i like Granny Smith but that can be a bit tart for some people. Fuji, Macintosh, Pink Ladies are all very flavorful.
Stay safe out there.
Taiwan can help
Iron pipe system for irrigation is needed.
Put muds on the outside walls and roof is also important.
Good to see you out in the field Cody, between this year's fires and the severe weather we've been receiving I've been inspired to re-up my red card next year and get back out there.
Keep up the good work brother, work smart stay safe.
Stay safe out there! Prayers for you and all of the other firefighters out battling these blazes. I wish we could send all of this rain we are getting on the Gulf Coast up there to you guys. You need it more than we do!
I'm really enjoying these "day in the life" style wildland firefighting videos. Keep them coming and stay safe out there.
Thank you Cody for what you do for your neighbors and your nation. Without people like you many people would be totally unprotected from wildfire. Thanks to your family too. They also make it possible for you to do what you do. Godspeed and may He protect you and your fellow firefighters through all of this.
Yes, moonpie are very southern!
Moon pie! Those are made in my town Chattanooga Tennessee! Yes that is a southern thing. I hope you ate and enjoyed it. Keep up the good work fighting fires. We are battling hurricanes in my region.
Moon Pies and little Debbie's are best when fresh. Not sure what they taste like outside of Tennessee. But here there very delicious!
We have the Moon pie and RC Cola Festival every year out here in Bell Buckle, TN. Good times.
It's great to know you guys keep the communities safe. Stay safe out there.
Nice footage. It feels as though someone else edited this video besides you... Still pretty good though, especially if it was Jack!
He did all of it on his phone! Tough to edit that way. mrsW
Wow!! Thats an amazing job then! Cody is still giving us quality videos while he is out there. God Bless him! He is one of my role models, along with Joel Salatin, and Paul Gautschi
Those 2 are amazing role models....I'm pretty biased about Cody as well. :) MrsW

I do agree wholeheartedly with you on your opinion of red delicious apples.
I love a little bean salad like that. I agree about the red delicious apple though. The worst.
It looks like Mrs Wranglerstar makes the best MRE's ever!
WOW, they really give you good amount for lunches, all this cost for all over heads for the fire must be huge, i dont think people understand the cost involved for everything, nice work for everyones effort from the office to the fields, appreciated
A remote control full size tractor sounds pretty cool!
Be safe out there . We are getting ready to deploy to the coast of George to help out with evacuation .
Just found your channel, love the videos, watched everything about wildland firefighting that you have, keep em' coming, my favorite parts are of you just out and about while you're working. Thanks for posting
I miss and love the Wildland Firefighting videos! Not to suggest I wish for wildfires but these are the videos I enjoy the most. Be safe Cody!! God Bless.
Looks a lot better than some of your previous lunches!
MOON PIES!!!!!!! I grew up on those things! I guess they're a southern thing, but I just never realized that...
He eats better than me when I'm at home😂
Keep up the important work, please stay safe!

YES A WILDLAND VIDEO ITS A GLORIOUS DAY!!!!!
brown bag lunches usually run 1800 - 2500 callories
God's best to you Cody! Thanks for all your hard work fighting the fires and trying to save people's homes and surrounding land! God protect you and everyone else out there and bring you home safe!
Thank you Rhonda
It's just unbeleivable that W. has never had an RC Cola and Moon Pie!
Really enjoying these videos!
thanks for sharing with us
My grandfather does this and is known as one of the best dozer operators in Washington state
Moon pie!!!
Cody, I'd really appreciate the model of that modular pack system by Mystery Ranch. As always, great videos.
Thank you.
Mystery Ranch Hot Spot + Crew Bag and Hydro 3L. He has also used a Coaxsher Ranger Pack but if I remember right he didn't like the way that it didn't do tight compression on all of the components, so he went to the Mystery Ranch. Both are pretty good packs.
Wranglerstar you should try a MRE, their aint much different they just take up less space.
Keep safe!
Just walked my dog here in Seattle, rain drops were falling on my head. Hope we get more to help those fires get put out.
We'd love some rain out this way.
Definitely would help clear the air, my Asthma doesn't like it. Had one nighttime asthma attack a few weeks ago from the last smokey sky around here.
Stay safe Cody Praying for all and rain to .
WHAT!!! You've never tasted a Moon Pie?!! Oh Man! That's just down right sac religious!
Get one and throw a little "dabasco" on it! Now that's a REAL treat!
Texas Tough!
You stay safe out there
Were are you a firefighter at?
Hmm lots a handfood basically, not surprising. Pretty surprized at the health level of ingredients and freshness of some of it though!
Thanks for saving our forests and protecting the homes and properties of hardworking Americans. You rock Wranglerstar!
How's the fire doing up there at the moment? I live in SW Washington and as of late I haven't seen anything on the news about it nor can I find an accurate fire map... Good luck and stay safe!
Surprised that the forest service doesn't use military MRE's.
Would you say it’s harder to breath when you out doing wild land work, or truck work and venting roofs
I'm over six foot and I'm always changing the handles on my hand tools cause there always short me to
Loving your wildland videos! Keep it up!
I’m probably a little bit late, but what did you do to get your foot in the door, any prerequisites and training, any volunteer work, I’m interested in this job
All you need is Uncrustable PB&J, those are gold on strike teams!
Still loving the videos keep it up
Stay safe while 'on the job'. Keep the videos coming when you can. I'm sure it's difficult to film in those conditions.
Great video! Thank you for showing us what the brave people do to keep us safe, thank you!
Did RUclips just change the music? Either way but didn't really like it but it's not how you edit it's what you do. Awesome. This is really cool
+Cartwheelking i only have my phone to edit these videos
Thanks for the glimpse into the life of a wildlands firefighter. I agree about Red Delicious - they have bred the taste and texture completely OUT of the apple. YUCK. It is about the worst apple I have ever had. They USED to be good. 50+ years ago.
"hateful red apple", that alone deserves the thumbs up... hahaha!
Moon pies are great!
what type of radio are you guys using out in the woods? CB?
A ripe Banana in a pack for 5 hours does have a lot of potassium, it is just hidden in the warm slimy mush.
Have fun -Be Safe!!
Are you working the fire in the gorge near Portland?
Stay safe my friend
I was raised on moon pies and love them to this day!!!
I subbed for your firefighters video do more:)
Lunch looks good😛
Thats a pretty good lunch that they give you, do you get a different lunch everyday?
I agree Red Delicious apples are the worst of all apples, well at least all the ones I've had. Still healthy and better then nothing.
Great video!
like the video Cody ,would like some more. of them on how to get into wild land fire fighting . want to get my red card. keep up the great work
Wow this is amazing……I love you
At least they're not shy about feeding you. I'd be sick if I ate that much and then went out to work.
