Shaping the Battle Space with a
Universal Survival Blueprint

Training for Climate Intensification. A survival option for those times when traditional suppression will fail. When and How to revert to this simple procedure to safely make an extreme fire storm pass and do no harm. Our future is faster, hotter, more deadly fire storms and even coordinated, aerial spawned WMD attacks by terrorists. Small aircraft laying out thousands of fire starts, perpendicular to strong, regional wind events; mostly at night so by morning all starts have burned together for hundreds of miles. 200' flames sweeping across terrain.

This makes the land owner COMMAND events, and ensure elimination of loss; happens consistently.


Wildfire tools
Our tools were designed by a career smokejumper to enhance safety, versatility, user comfort and production issues. Generally, they get the user upright, so they can see, have better leverage/balance and can respond to so many more different changing conditions with far more productive comfort.

The concept is a stronger, more ergonomic handle. The user chooses one primary tool head attachment to work with the majority of the time and carries a secondary tool head to add versatility for any wildfire ecosystem.

These tools are exceptionally light weight and balanced. If you pick them up and feel them, you will want them, and they are far more durable than traditional, fixed, fire tools.

Pulaski blades are replaceable for $ 39.00 and should last about 5 hard seasons.

New Handles can be put on your old CNC handle fittings, and refurbished for $39.00.

The Troop Tool (right) is a push button, larger bladed, lighter combi tool. There is a diagional angle set for a digging and throwing dirt, as with a fire shovel. The 90 degree angle set, (shown in the below pictures) is the stand upright, line scraping, and upright chinking, mixing, mop up device. The angle set that folds blade against the handle serves as a safety staff to assist fire fighters during x-country travel on bad or steep ground.



Troop Tool

  • Blade locked in diagonal shovel mode for digging and throwing dirt.
  • Blade locked against itself for storage and cross country travel. Serves as a great safety staff for eliminating falls on bad ground.
  • Right angle mode for upright line scraping (teeth hitting ground) or upright chinking, mixing and mop-up mode (shovel point hitting ground) takes the drudgery out of mop-up operations.

Bonnie Hammers
The Bonneville Hot Shot Crew bought our tools, then altered one of our Pulaskis. Cut off the axe blade, welded on a bar for driving wedges. For swampers or guys who help chain sawyers. We now make all steel, commercial Bonniehammers for Shot Crews. 4 saws per crew. Outrageous!

Green (refurbished) Tools & Costs
All individual tool components cost $139 each. It costs $35 for refurbishing a tool Handle with new handle. It costs $50 to refurbish our Pulaskis with new blades. We have some Hot Shot Crews now on their third set of blades. There are over four thousand of these tool sets out in the field. We get 20 to 30 handles back to be refurbished and about that many Pulaskis per year to be refurbished.

Fire managers have told us; they are money ahead by simply buying a set of these tools for each fire fighter. They give these tools to their fire fighters saying, "these are your tools. They belong to you; not the government. When you leave this job, take them with you." What they found was, an end to tool accountability problems.

No more disappearing tools. People take care of their own tools. Free, low cost government tools are not valued. They constantly disappear, and are used up, destroyed quickly. No matter what kind of fire season; each year the Government buys 80,000 Pulaskis. Cheap tools, not valued. They are perishable. They wear quickly. The entire tool gets thrown out even those with good handles. This is a waste of resources, and ends up being far less economical than our green tools.

Our tools are longer lasting they are re-bladed, re-handled, and last for a very long time, not just one campaign fire before being thrown out.

Once people use our tools they do not want to go back to single function, traditional tools. These new, improved tools are the future for professional wild land fire fighters. Temporary, pick up folks can be assigned traditional pulaskis and shovels.



Shaping The Battle Space

A Book to prepare against
Global Warming and Fire Attack
Book and Dragon Wizz Wheel - $50.00

Along with this book is our "Dragon Wizz Wheel Tool" (below) which shows fire fighters and interface dwellers how to strategically set up their home in wild land fuels in order to be always ready in ignite an "ESCAPE FIRE" or FRONT FIRE to form an instant SAFETY HARBOR AREA" to survive an extreme wilfire, that cannot be stopped, before it will engulf a home.

We come to different countries, states, and fire ecosystems and put on "ESCAPE FIRE TRAINING PROGRAMS". We generally combine these with cake sales and public fair outreach or weekend live fire shows. These shows can be used to raise fire department funds for equipment and mostly for citizen education events to make communitites able to endure extreme fire events, that would normally result in destroyed homes as we see often on the news networks.

When you evacuate homeowners and lose homes, basically there is no fire management going on and fire suppression agencies in those fire jurisdictions do not really know anything except being effective at water squirting on low intensity, easy fires. Often they make easy fires look bad, but there are now methods that effectively work when traditional suppression fails.

"Dragon Wizz Wheel Tool" shows fire fighters and interface dwellers how to strategically set up their home in wild land fuels in order to be always ready in ignite an "ESCAPE FIRE" or FRONT FIRE to form an instant SAFETY HARBOR AREA" to survive an extreme wilfire, that cannot be stopped, before it will engulf a home.
