Hey fellas, this is an old topic on many forums, but I figured since we're all truckies here I'd like to here what other ladder guys carry. Personally I carry 24' of 1" tubular webbing, 2 steel beaners, structural/rescue/rope gloves, 2 prussic cords (short and long), smith & wesson 1st responder knife, shove knife, 75' of personal escape rope, 30' (7mm) utility rope, 2 pair dykes (one in coat pocket, one in pants pocket), multiple chocks in pockets and on my lid. Survivor flashlight. Anyone have any other ideas?

I carry a lot of multi tools so that way it limits the amount of things i actualyl need to carry. And the follow is all the stuff that is on my helmet coat and pants as well as in the pockets. other then actualy PPE Nomex clothing. I carry two wood wedges in my helmet, a small LED back up flash light held to the helmet witha helmet bandstrap. lollypop steel door wedge off of my jacket. Survivor streamlight off of my jacket. A leatherman mulit tool, a smith and wesson folding knife. Channel lock rescue 85 cutters with the battery cutter end to them, the handles of the cutters also act as Gas shut off wrench, center punch, spanner wrench, and a pry bar. Told you i like tools that had mulitple functions. Also rolly of electrical tape, extrication gloves, structure fire gloves. Victim drag sling, two sets of sprinkler wedges. And of course a disposable waterproof kodak camera lol.
