We're going to do a overland trip with the little crew that I have and we're going to shoot some content for YouTube. We have a new video coming out on Fieldcraft Outpost next week from our old Truck versus new truck challenge that was filmed in Sand Hollow. Epic time with the guys, with the tribe and with my fam. I brought the wife and kids. We cancel that. Your raid trip. It was Uray Silverton. We're going to do it in reverse or typically I'm used to doing Silverton Uray because of the wildfires. We have to get into that because it's completely insane. A little housekeeping. I will be with andy Stumpf on July 7th in Kalispell, Montana. One of the segments we're filming is for aviation survival, like what do you carry in your helicopter? What's best practice? And also I'll be doing a mobility and coffee seminar at the Black Rifle Coffee, Andy's Black Raffle Coffee in Kalispell, Montana. I believe it's 12 to 1 is what we scheduled. Stay tuned for both BRCC Kalispell, Andy's social media and mine for all the details and hope to see your pretty faces there for 2026. It is one of the most active seasons in recent years. Now, if you live in Utah or the surrounding area, you're used to the drought because it hasn't rained and the winter was horrible. We actually had a bad year last year as well. But as of June 28th, 35,682 wildfires have burned across the United States. 35,000 more than 3.07 million acres have burned. Right now, the Cottonwood fire is above 92,000 acres with 0% containment.

The National Wildfire preparedness level has been raised to level four of five, five being worst case scenario, indicating that firefighting resources are heavily committed, which means if a new fire starts in your backyard, it's going to be very difficult to allocate any resources. The Cotton Fire has become the nation's largest active wildfire and the largest in Utah history. I reported on this a few days ago. Three wildland firefighters lost their lives this week while battling a fast moving wildfire near the Utah Colorado border. A tragic circumstance that highlights the danger of these firefighters are dealing with every single day. Prayers go out to their families and to all those in the front line fighting these fires for our communities. Their death highlights just how quickly fire conditions can change and the risks firefighters face every day. Now there are some lessons learned that I'll talk about in the next podcast that I've been given on some of the mistakes that were made. What everyone should do right now is you have to prepare. My wife is filming a segment that will be out next week on fire disaster preparedness. Now, fires vary on their severity and significance in your own community. A Maui Palisades paradise fire is very different from a fire in your home. The courses of action and the procedures are very different and the equipment that you prep, the planning phases are very different. But what I could talk about is the preparation of your home dealing with this wildland fire fighting threat that these guys are dealing with all over the country. 70% of these fires are man made. They're started on accident, some deliberately started. But you need to first create a defensible space. A defensible space means removing dry brush, leaves or any other flammable materials by your home. A lot of these fires because they're based in the west where there's wind, not a lot of foliage, not a lot of tree coverage, they're jumping roads, fire breaks and house to house neighborhoods and it's not hard for them to spread. But if you have all the materials around your property that are flammable, then it's going to increase the threat to your property. That includes cleaning gutters, removing dead vegetation from roofs and have an emergency go bag prepped. That's one of the things my wife is going to be talking about because that includes not just clothes, hygiene, things that you're going to need to kind of sustain yourself, but that includes important documents, water, food supplies and also medications. One of the things that you could do right now is sign up for your local federal or community emergency management system to be on alert for the catastrophe, typically being sent out like an Amber Alert when there's an all call. Most communities now are tweeting on X all the five W's, who, what, when, where, how and how things are unfolding and that's likely the first place you're going to see it. If you're not proactively going to the knees. News media organizations which even in those cases they're behind. By time you're seeing it on the news, it's already too late. You need to be signed up for those emergency alert notices. Have an emergency go bag co located with some type of communication device. Now the best thing about technology in recent years is the piggybacking on Starlink utilizing things like sat phones, your cell phone tethered to a Starlink mini, having an inreach device with sat SMS capability. You need the ability to communicate, to receive and push messages but also communicate with your loved ones in that worst case scenario because likely you're not going to have enough time to do a lot when you're breaking contact in the last few phases of emergency evacuation. Monitor evacuation notices and don't wait till the last moment when officials are putting out what's typically the warning order. Meaning if they're saying hey there's a fire on the ridge line but no need to be concerned, you need to be concerned and take your concerns and meet that with action as part of an existing plan, meaning you already talked about it in advance with your family. You know where you're going, your vehicles are above the halfway point, meaning you're never running low on fuel. Your bags might even be pre staged in the vehicles and you've done PMCs, the pre maintenance inspections on those vehicles to make sure everything's squared away. I don't have one in front of me, I typically do. But the contingency planner made by Madgear is something I recommend for all of you. I will link that down below. No affiliation, no kickbacks. It's just something that if you're thinking about disaster preparedness when you write it down and go through the plan with your family, you're building a process of everybody understanding the plan better because they're obviously involved. If smoke is present, stay indoors when possible. One of the things that we were dealing with here in Heber is about a week and a half ago we had the worst air quality in the entire nation. The entire nation. That is a huge problem for your health and wellness. It was the equivalent of smacking up, smacking smoking a pack of cigarettes. And my wife got a significant sinus infection and was sick. She's still sick. She had to get a round of antibiotics because of how toxic the air was. Now a lot of that was coming from the local fires in our area, blowing across and then being contained basically in cloud form over our house for a significant period of time. You want a HEPA purifier if available, a minimum of an N95 mask. That's going to prevent from all those particles getting into your lungs and affecting your health. Now those little diapers that you wear on your face, that's not going to work. You need something with a filter, N95 at a minimum, especially if there's heavy smoke. Also, you need to follow local burn bans. The state of Utah just banned fireworks for the fourth of July. And I don't disagree. Now some people are like, that's radical extremism in the government and that's tyranny. And I'm like, no, that's just safe practice. Because we all know that people are going to still do fireworks and there's going to be some people that lob them into the woods and they're going to set this place on fire. I am prepared with my family to evacuate and so should you. Avoid parking vehicles on dry grass. If you're camping, you're out in the RV that can set a fire. UTVs especially, because they run really hot underneath. If they're sitting in some grass and that grass is dry, like that Christmas tree that the firefighters show you every year. That's real. If it's dry, if it's not hydrated, it's going to go up like a tinder box. That's bound to happen. We have Level 1 restrictions across the state, which means we can't really have fires. In most places you can have fires, but if you do, never leave the fire, even coals unattended. Be extremely cautious with fireworks this fourth of July, especially in drought stricken areas, and pay attention to these restrictions. And if you see anybody, I would advise them, be a good neighbor, that they're not supposed to be doing that. Be a Karen, because it might save you having to evacuate your home and your community because somebody did the wrong thing. Wildfires are not just affecting people who live in forest or have a second cabin. It's mountain communities all over the country. And also those with the right wind conditions are affecting people and neighborhoods. So extended drought, extreme heat and strong winds are creating dangerous fire conditions across the country, especially in the Tri States where I live. And preparation before the emergency is always the best course of action. Lastly, I'll mention it, I mean, in the underground, I'm going to cover in detail very specifics, like your loadout for your first aid kit and some things that I would recommend having in your disaster bag for wildfires, but also for emergencies. But one thing I want to mention to you is this company called Prep in Wild Prep and Wild Prep and Wild is making civilian first aid kits. Now. I made a mistake when I had Phil Craft Survival where I was making oh, by the way, if you're new to this, I used to own Phil Craft Survival. I stepped away from the company involuntarily and was taken away from it for 18 months and I bought back the assets and we're rebranding it Fieldcraft Outpost. We're also building a company on the back end to supply you with preparedness equipment called long haul supply company dot com. You can go to the website right now and buy fanny packs, backcountry carriers, 20 liters and flashlights. But we're building back out our inventory. One of the mistakes I made in making first aid kits is they were generally built based on military lessons learned. Except the especially practical application of our first aid kit don't typically include considerations that I experienced in combat like gunshot wounds. 90% plus of gunshot victims in civilian circumstances have upper thorax or chest wounds. Why? Because in the military we wore body armor and we dealt with extremity injuries that required tourniquets. I'm not saying don't carry a tourniquet, do carry a tourniquet, but also think about other things like hyphen, chest seals and Prep and Wild. I just like the company. Also, they're going to do some content with us is a company that's making really good first aid kits and I'll link them down below. One of the things I want you to think about right now is what your plan of action, your POA is going to be. Your plan of action right now is going to be if a catastrophe struck. Right now, if you had a bug out and you only had minutes, maybe even seconds to get out of your home, one, what would you grab if anything? Two, are you prepared for that evacuation? Three, what equipment and vehicle are you taking? And four, are your family and you prepared for that evacuation? Right. You should be asking yourselves those questions. In basic war gaming, we call it course of action development in the military, I think it's a proper protocol to set in place to have the conversation by the contingency planner from madgeear and line out that plan and rehearse it. All right, kids, we have a fire drill today at, you know, 6 o' clock in the afternoon when we're eating dinner between the hours of 5 or 6, we will send out a family text and we will go through the rehearsal practice and we'll meet at five guys like the burger place to talk about it as an after action review. Please do that. Please do that. It's so important that you do that. Big news coming up. We are going to do a mobility experience course. I plan to do that in September, in October and also I just did the Tier one podcast with Brent Tucker. I'll link that podcast down below. I'm off to the underground to kick off some education in first aid. Also a little bit of situational awareness mixed with communications on the loadout for your 72 hour disaster back. I appreciate you guys. Till next time. Peace out.
