In 2013, Jake Starr began repurposing decommissioned fire hoses into rugged, American-made gear.

The World’s #1 Source for Firehose Gear & Mil-Spec Durability with Over 27,000 Verified Reviews

Built with Purpose, transforming battle-tested materials into gear that carries history, ready for anything, and proudly American. Thousands of feet of hose were saved, repurposed, and crafted into durable wallets and essentials that embody the grit of their origins. Every product reflects our pride in USA craftsmanship, built for men and women who demand gear as tough as they are. Now led by Kyle Doyon, a 20-year search and rescue veteran, Recycled Firefighter continues this mission with a renewed vision. We're still Built with Purpose, transforming battle-tested materials into gear that carries history, ready for anything, and proudly American.

Today is National Day of the Deployed.

Right now, there are service members far from home. Missing birthdays, holidays, and first steps. Living on a different clock than the people they love.

And back home, there are families holding it all together until they come back.

To every deployed service member and every family keeping the porch light on: we’re grateful for you.

There’s a difference between a bag rated for the gym and one built to mil-spec.
500D mil-spec Cordura is abrasion-resistant nylon, the same spec the military uses.

The 72-Hour Duffle runs 42 liters, opens full-length, blaze-orange interior so nothing hides.
Padded base, padded handles, external tech pocket fits a 15-inch laptop.

Roy F. gave it 5/5 stars.

Where did your earbuds go this time?
Inside a pocket. Different bag. Bottom of the pack. The small stuff never stays put.

The Hot Shot Ranger clips to your belt loop, keys, or pack strap so the small things you reach stay in one place.

Oversized YKK zipper, heavy-duty metal clip, 1000D Cordura. Handcrafted in Cape Coral, Florida.
