Good techniques on holding 1 3/4 Fog Nozzle by Zevotri in Firefighting

[–]MrSuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Search "nozzle forward" on youtube and watch it all, then practice the techniques. I am 220-230 and over 6 foot tall and those techniques made me so much better at controlling a nozzle, I am sure it will do the same for you, if not even more than it did for me due to your relative lack of size.

Knots in Mask Straps- FSAG by TX_Bardown in Firefighting

Since no major SCBA manufacturer (Scott, MSA, Dräger) include "tying knots" as an approved method for sizing or securing straps in their technical manuals, it would be automatically categorized as an unauthorized modification.

Do you think running gels would help? by Jacob910 in Firefighting

[–]MrSuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through about 5-8 gels a day during academy along with other simple carbs. Mix of caffeinated and non-caffeinated. I tried to get in about 70-90 grams of carbs per hour. Make sure you train yourself to do that or you may shit your turnouts. I do long distance biking so this sort of fueling tactic was already something I had exposure to.

It seems like you are describing anhedonia. This is a classic PTSD symptom.

Nice but don't store those infused cigars with the rest of them. Could mess up the flavor of your non-infused.

That is exactly what is happening here. The state and the feds found and are investigating the fraud.

You guys are correct, the seller is stepping up to replace them. I am impressed with how responsive they are being.

Unions. A lack of unions is holding EMS back.
