The field pack allows firefighters to carry all on-line essentials in an efficient, nonrestrictive manner.
The Missoula Equipment Development Center obtained design ideas for the field pack through a Service wide survey. Respondents indicated that the cruiser vests, military packs, and commercial day packs currently in use were inadequate.
They felt firefighters needed an entirely new pack design to meet their needs on the fireline.
So MEDC developed a new load carrying system. The field pack includes many ideas from field people who responded to the survey and sent prototype packs. Dave Nani, parachute loft fore­man at the Northern California Smokejumper Base, Redding, Calif., provided several key ideas. This field pack provides firefighters with a versatile system that enables them to carry all necessary equipment to sustain themselves on the fireline. The field pack is designed so the firefighter carries a major share of the load on the equipment belt.
The energy cost of lifting
and supporting a load on your back while digging fireline or mopping up is significant. Military studies tell us that people can work and maneuver best with loads concen­trated about the hips. On hot days, gear can be shifted to the equipment belt and the pack sack removed to promote upper body cooling and prevent premature fatigue.
