We (firemen) took training on them last fall, wonderful to say the least.
I wish they made a non gold plated version, they are less than simple to make out of alumn, and its been nine months now, and we still have not made one yet.
I've been on the department and EMS for over thirty years, and I'm here to admit to eveyone we would have killed any man if we were to have tried before the training. We have gotten men out of augers, but never had a man trapped in a bin.
Wake up everyone,--- we buried several of us guys in their training tank -- no one had a clue as to the troubles they were about to try to overcome.
We all had the rope around the waist, and pull thing in our heads before the training. I'm not sure, but a 160 pound man will require 900 pounds of pull if buried to the chest. Actualy 160 pound men in our neck of the woods do not come out in to the public eye. (We is all fat boys)
If you want to walk near unconditioned grain, using a rope, the spine in your back seperates at around fifty pounds of pull.
It was one of the best trainings I have ever had, and I was the first one to protest about loosing another Sat. in training. I should be ashamed of myself.
If any of you folks live near grain bins, you may want to donate (to your fire department) a few of those plastic crates that were used for orange juice etc. I think they are 18 inches wide, 18 inches long, and 18 inches high. (not sure). They are very usefull for the fire departments in a grain bin.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
