Field-tested. Paramedic approved. Our team's feet live in these Red Wing boots.

We don't sell anything we haven't put through its paces, especially when it comes to keeping our crew safe and comfortable. Out on a wildfire line, tending to an accident on the Malahat, or just running calls across the Province your feet need protection and comfort that doesn't quit. That's why our paramedics consistently choose Red Wing. They're built for the long haul, stable on any terrain, and tough enough to handle whatever BC throws at us. No blisters, no blown seams, just reliable performance from dawn till dusk.

Rain won't stop a good fire. Here are three ways to get it going, even when everything's soaked.

Out here on Vancouver Island, 'wet' isn't just a forecast, it's a way of life. Nothing's worse than needing a fire for warmth or boiling water and finding all your tinder soaked. We've pulled shifts in the pouring rain and learned a few tricks: find hidden dry tinder, process your wood to expose inner fibers, and always carry a reliable, field-tested fire starter. Our team relies on these kits because they get the job done, even when conditions are brutal.
