1. Forestry Tools

2. Backpack Fire Pump
This hand operated pump can be used to extinguish small areas of burning grass for wildfires.
5 gallons

3. Bark Gauge Measures bark thickness

5. Chaps To protect the users legs from injury
Snake bites, briars and thorns
Rain, snow and mud
fire

7. Fire Swatter (flap) For smothering fires in grass, straw and low weeds
to control or direct flames during controlled burns or in conjunction with mop-up details after fires.

8. Diameter Tape
When wrapped around the trunk of a tree, provides readings of trees diameter
