Your Mid-Season Wildland Gear Check, Powered by WD Fire Supply

The wildland fireline doesn’t go easy on your gear. Whether you’ve wrapped a long assignment or are just getting back in the field, now’s the time to inspect what you’ve got, restock what you’ve lost, and upgrade what’s holding you back. At WD Fire Supply, we’re here to help make sure you’re equipped with gear you can trust, built to last, perform, and protect when it matters most.

GEAR CHECK: WHAT’S WORN OUT?

By mid-season, your gear has likely taken a beating. Scuffed boots, fraying straps, damaged nozzles, it adds up. Damage is inevitable, but dangerous gear is avoidable. Take the time now to inspect:

  • Frayed stitching or compromised buckles on packs and bags

  • Heat-damaged or torn PPE

  • Cracked tool handles or worn heads

  • Leaking hose couplings or faulty nozzles

Gear doesn’t need to look new—but it must function like new. Anything that puts you, your team, or your mission at risk should be repaired or replaced immediately.

GEAR CHECK: WHAT’S MISSING?

Assignments are fast-moving. Tools get dropped, gear gets loaned out, and items go missing. Before your next dispatch, take stock of the essentials:

  • Gloves, goggles, and helmets

  • Molle holster and warning triangle kit

  • Spare hose clamps and nozzles

  • Your go-to fireline hand tools

A quick inventory now saves valuable time when you’re back on the line. Don’t wait until you’re loading up to realize you’re short on supplies.

GEAR CHECK: WHAT’S SLOWING YOU DOWN?

Sometimes gear needs replacing not because it’s broken, but because it’s just not working for you. Outdated tools, bulky packs, or gear setups that drag you down can waste time and energy you don’t have. Ask yourself:

  • Does my pack carry well for the terrain I’m in?

  • Are my tools outdated, heavy, or inefficient?

  • Is my PPE causing discomfort, slowing me down, or not fitting right?

  • Am I constantly adjusting, tightening, or working around old gear?

If the answer is yes, it’s time for an upgrade. Efficient, field-ready gear doesn’t just make life easier, it makes you safer.
