The Efficient "Cube" Solution for Gear Storage The Evac Systems Wildland Fire Gear Bag (Model EP222) allows firefighters to pack maximum gear into a minimum footprint. Unlike long duffels that waste space in a compartment, this bag features a perfect 16” x 16” x 16” cube design. This shape allows for efficient stacking in crew buggies, engines, or helicopters, making it the preferred choice for wildland crews and SAR teams who need to optimize cargo space.

Key Features

  • Geometric Efficiency: The 16-inch cube shape offers 4,096 cubic inches of volume, deep enough to hold a fire shelter, Nomex pants/shirt, helmet, and boots, while fitting neatly into square vehicle compartments.
  • Rapid Access Lid: Designed with a three-sided zipper, the entire top flips open (wide-mouth), giving you instant visual access to all contents without digging through a narrow slot.
  • Rugged US Construction: Manufactured in the USA from heavy-duty, wear-resistant materials designed to withstand the heat, dust, and abrasion of the fire line.
  • Versatile Carry: Includes heavy-duty web handles and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap for easy transport from the staging area to the camp.

Why It Matters In wildland firefighting, "tetris-ing" gear into a government vehicle is a daily struggle. The Evac Cube Bag solves this. It stacks like a box, protecting your PPE while maximizing every inch of available storage. It is a no-nonsense, economical solution for carrying the essentials.

How to Use

  1. Pack: Place boots at the bottom. Stack Nomex and helmet on top.
  2. Organize: Use the cube shape to segregate clean/dirty gear or specialized kits (e.g., a dedicated "hose bag" or "shelter bag").
  3. Stack: Place multiple bags side-by-side in the apparatus compartment.
  4. Deploy: Unzip the lid fully to create an open-top gear station.

Technical Overview The bag is a simple, robust single-compartment carrier. Its 16" dimensions are standardized to fit most locker and shelving systems used in fire stations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the EVAC Systems Wildland Fire Gear Bag ideal for both wildland and structural firefighters?▸

The EVAC Systems EP222 gear bag features a versatile 16" x 16" x 16" cube design that accommodates both wildland fire gear and turnout gear. Its three-sided zippered wide-mouth lid provides rapid access crucial during emergency deployments, while the USA-made construction ensures durability against extreme conditions. The removable adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to transport between apparatus, stations, and incident scenes, whether you're responding to a wildfire or a structure fire.

How does the three-sided zipper design on the EVAC Systems bag improve gear access compared to traditional duffel bags?▸

Unlike standard top-loading duffels, the EVAC Systems Wildland Fire Gear Bag's three-sided zippered wide-mouth lid opens completely flat, allowing you to see and grab your gear instantly without digging through layers. This design is critical when seconds count during emergency response—you can access your helmet, gloves, or fire shelter immediately. The wide opening also makes packing and organizing your gear significantly easier at the end of a shift.

What makes the EVAC Systems EP222 an economical choice for fire departments and SAR teams?▸

At $69.99, the EVAC Systems Wildland Fire Gear Bag delivers professional-grade durability and functionality at a budget-friendly price point. It's entirely manufactured in the USA with materials built to withstand the rigors of wildland firefighting, offering exceptional value without compromising quality. Fire departments can equip entire crews affordably, and the bag's longevity means you won't need frequent replacements—making it a smart investment for both career and volunteer departments.

Can the EVAC Systems gear bag fit a complete wildland firefighting kit including fire shelter and hand tools?▸

Yes, the 16" x 16" x 16" dimensions (4,096 cubic inches) provide ample space for a complete wildland fire kit. You can store your fire shelter, Nomex clothing, leather gloves, headlamp, fire line pack essentials, and personal protective equipment. While hand tools like Pulaskis are typically carried separately, smaller tools and accessories fit comfortably. The bag's durable construction handles the weight and sharp edges of firefighting gear without tearing or wearing prematurely.

Is the EVAC Systems Wildland Fire Gear Bag suitable for Search and Rescue (SAR) operations?▸

Absolutely. Tagged specifically for SAR use, the EVAC Systems bag's rugged construction and easy-access design make it perfect for storing rope rescue gear, medical supplies, navigation equipment, and personal safety items. The removable shoulder strap allows hands-free transport during technical operations, and the cube shape stacks efficiently in rescue vehicles. SAR teams appreciate the USA-made quality and the ability to quickly access critical equipment during time-sensitive missions.
