Bull Pac Use in Wildland Fire Suppression
« on: June 29, 2015, 11:39:58 AM »
We've been experimenting with our local DNR fire crews on using Bull Pacs to haul and stage some of their fire suppression gear and equipment... put together a little informational flyer.

Just a heads up, May be my computer, but page 2-4 is garbled with the document download.

Download worked for me.  :tup:

Looks good, they are a very versatile pack.  We used them to pack stuff out of my mothers beach house that was down a steep trail.  I also used mine to train for climbing Mt. Rainier in 2010, (Rainer10), I strapped a 60lb bag of concrete mix to it and hiked around to get use to the extra weight.

And of course I have packed more animals than I count in the past 15 years, multiple whole deer on a pack and lots of elk quarters and halves.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Sorry Quadrafire, couldn't figure out how to post the open flyer on the page, just as an attachment?

Ya Rainier, we're starting to see the non-hunting community getting them for all sorts of different things.  We have a family in Thailand that uses it as their main form of transportation for an off-road farming plot of corn they have going.  Also just received a note back from ODF&W, they have a couple dozen they are using for remote lake fish plants.  One of the guys from WDF&W is also using them to haul biological sampling equipment and miscellaneous trapping supplies for some studies they have going.  We've even customized a few for very specific equipment mounting applications too.  An outfit out of NY mounts mobile toxic site testing equipment on them for working HAZMAT sites.  Another concrete contractor had a custom frame made that they mounted a motorized concrete scree machine on for finishing concrete.

We're trying to make them versatile and handy enough that anybody with a load of cargo, regardless of the type, would find Bull Pacs a useful addition to their equipment.

Thanks!

That is awesome. My home computer loaded it fine. Sorry to derail. Keep up the good work. That would be cool to go international.

Maybe market to the Mexican nationals to haul their pot growing supplies!!! :yike:

Looks sweet. I wish there was a pack out there to handle a qb or piss pump with line gear. I carried a 5 gallon piss pump over the top of my line gear and had another 5 gallon piss pump in my hands today on a grass fire mop up. It was painful for the short distance I was carrying them haha
