We had a chance to use the Iron Fox Flathead Axe in several different scenarios. It's a tough axe that can breach, break, and always starts.

We've had a chance to check out and use the FoxFury Discover Tasker Helmet Light. There are definitely many options of flashlights for firefighters to choose from. Do you carry one? Do you hang one off your coat or truckbelt? Do you have one on your helmet?

Just last month it was brought to my attention that one of the pics from that training was used in a magazine advertisement by PBI Products. Maybe they will toss a few sets of gear our way and get some product review advertisement as well.

Mrs. Sweat Bee didn't get a video of Christmas morning, but from the pictures it seems the Sweat Bee wanted a these gifts like a Red Ryder BB gun. Happy breaking, breaching, and forcing.

Our feedback along with some from other users is embedded throughout this review. Overall, the SEARCHSLEEVE is a solid firefighter innovation and great option for a personal light.

Overall, these gloves provide great cut and impact protection. Watch the video from Randy, check out the description from his website, and hash through our pros/cons.

My advice to the new divers afterwards was to keep diving, constantly work to improve buoyancy control, stay calm, and be smooth. The environments we get called to dive on are mostly technical, with little visibility, and sometimes scarcely supported dive profiles. Be smart.

Overall, these gloves provide great dexterity and impact protection at a firefighter friendly price.

With all the talk about health and safety, we should consider options to reduce heat stress during non-structural responses and training. This gear will meet our expectations of reducing heat stress.

It has been about two months since first zipping up the Haix Fire Flash Xtreme boots.
