I'd like to welcome Adam from SMOLDERING FRONTIER, a wildland firefighter, here to share the story behind his new design, Frankin Steel!

-----------------------------

Meet Frankin Steel, our newest creation from Smoldering Frontier. The story behind it and the steps to bring him alive have been an interesting journey. We came up with the idea of Frankin Steel a couple years ago on the fire line.

On my saw team our chain saw fell 20 feet or so off a cliff in the Klamath National Forest. The fall destroyed most of the outer plastic. This however did not deter us from the continuing are mission for the day. With some crew collaboration and some intuitive MacGyver skills Frankin Steel was brought to life.

If you have ever had the pleasure of putting in a hard day of line cutting you can relate to the fact that you kind of feel like Frankenstein. After the day you share a lot of the same qualities that include being smelly, dirty, exhausted, and angry. If anything we need to embrace some of the lower days of being on the line. Which is why we have created and brought Frankin Steel back to life.

We are happy to announce that we will be sending 25% of our earning to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. At the end of each month we will post how much we have been able to raise. Thank you for your time and, Enjoy!
