CERTIFICATIONS
National Fire Protection Association CAL FIRE Approved UL
In 2014, MYSTERY RANCH took the first step toward offering our customers NFPA-certified products by building their quality management system and having it certified to ISO 9001. The next step was to provide third party, Underwriters Laboratories (UL®), with samples that passed the heat and thermal shrinkage resistance test and complied with the load-carrying design and performance requirements of UL® Certified to NFPA 1977-2022 Edition. Fire packs are used to carry tools, food, water, and other items crucial to the safety of the user–not only do the packs need to withstand a certain level of heat without failing, the buckles must remain functional after fire exposure to ensure continued use in the field. Now, MYSTERY RANCH is continually expanding the array of wildland fire products that are NFPA-certified, and we are proud to serve the brave women and men who risk their lives for our safety.

BACKBONE SERIES
Created to educate the public on the sacrifice and work that goes into responding to wildland fires.
The MYSTERY RANCH Fire Line is founded on the backs of a professional workforce whose primary duties are the suppression and management of wildland fires.
Wildland firefighters are trained and built for their mission. They ask for very little, yet they serve the American public, lead from the front, and risk their lives to protect public lands, private property, and the lives of others. To recognize the efforts of these men and women, MYSTERY RANCH would like to introduce the Backbone Series.
The Backbone Series will highlight the backs behind the packs – the faces of those who put on the packs and have their boots on the ground – the backbones on which the MYSTERY RANCH Fire Line and the Federal Fire Response have been built.
Our intent is to educate the public on what makes this job so fulfilling and to reveal where challenges lie for those who have chosen this profession. We will recognize the men and women who wear our packs daily and honor those who have worn them for the last time—our valued fallen.
To fuel this educational campaign, we have created the MYSTERY RANCH Backbone Scholarship
MYSTERY RANCH seeks to solicit to solicit contributors for the Backbone Series and educate the public on the realities of a career in Wildland Fire – the good, the bad, and the ugly. In return, contributors will be eligible for the Backbone Scholarship.
Join us on this journey as MYSTERY RANCH leads from the front to learn more about the Forestry Technicians, Supervisory Forestry Technicians, Firefighters, and Wildland Firefighters that put their lives, families, and well-being on the line.
Visit mysteryranch.com/backbone-series to learn more.

SPECIAL EDITION BACKBONE PACKS
To fund the scholarship, we have taken two of our top-selling everyday carry packs – the RIP RUCK 24, the 3-WAY 18, and the MISSION DUFFEL 55 – and built them in “wildfire black” with great intent to create a scholarship fund called “The Backbone Scholarship” to support and assist in the education of seasonal Forestry Technicians that want to further their careers in fire or outside of fire. These $1000 scholarships will help the men and women that go above and beyond in the off-season. Fire Classes, medical training, and college education aren’t cheap. Countless men and women work for Federal Land Management Agencies as Forestry Technicians and seek to better themselves in the offseason to compete for permanent appointments. Some individuals use fire as a means to assist with greater life goals and objectives.
10% of proceeds from these unique packs will fund the scholarship and winning contributors will receive a $1,000 scholarship. Winners will be selected anonymously throughout the duration of the campaign.
These two special packs that support the scholarship are available for purchase at mysteryranch.com and select retailers.

AMERICAN WILDFIRE EXPERIENCE
The American Wildfire Experience (AWE) is a small non-profit rooted in understanding, examining, and telling the story of wildland fire. Through multimedia storytelling, oral histories, and other projects and initiatives, AWE works to facilitate dialogue, communication, and education around the challenges and opportunities of our current wildland fire situation in the United States. They believe that sharing scientific data and knowledge tied together with human experience is the best way to tell the story of wildland fire and to have an impact on the way in which wildland fire burns across both our social and ecological landscapes.

FEATURES
Many of the MYSTERY RANCH fire packs have these features. The Fire-specific yoke, featuring our patented Futura system, telescopically adjusts to any torso length and promotes ventilation. The packs also feature a re-direct waist belt system that secures in a natural, forward pull direction that requires less effort to tighten. With patented features and construction methods, the waist belt cants and conforms over the hips to effectively transfer and distribute the weight, eliminating slippage down over the hips.
• Fire Yoke - Specifically designed 2” narrower than our standard Futura Yoke to maximize ventilation without compromising load carriage comfort.
• External fuel bottle carriage - This option allows for separation of fuel and water (Hotshot & Hotshot TL packs).
• Haul loop handle - Also doubles as hardhat hanger or a location for additional tape/ flagging rolls.
• Admin pocket - For notebooks, IAP, pens/pencils, maps, IRPG.
• Fusees zip away - Secure storage of fusees for rotor-wing transport.
• Wing pockets - Wing pockets hold up to three fuel bottles, three water bottles (40oz Hydroflask ®, FSS bottle], or one 64oz Hydroflask ® growler per side.

• Low-cut tailoring - Wing pockets’ low-cut front enables firefighter to reach fuel and water bottles while wearing pack.

SIZING
GETTING YOUR SIZE
The key to a confortable pack load is the properly fitting backpack. We’ve designed a more custom fit into our packs with simple sizing based off two measurements. To find the appropriate size waist and yoke for your pack, collect the following two measurements, then reference the sizing chart below.
TORSO
Use a tailors tape measure or string and have a friend measure between the bony bump at the base of your neck (C7 vertebra) to the spot on your spine that is just behind your belly button.
WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
Measure around your waist just above the top of your hip bones (roughly two fingers below your belly button).
