Summary

This week on the Campfire Discussion, Jimmy and Tyler sit down with Corey Jones from Rusoh Fire Extinguishers — a conversation that’s been two years in the making. And if you’re an offroader who keeps a fire extinguisher in your rig, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

Traditional fire extinguishers have a dirty secret: they’re built for stationary environments. When you strap one to your D-pillar or bolt it to your floorboard and spend years beating it down trails, the powder inside compacts. It stops moving freely. And when you finally need it, there’s a real chance it won’t discharge the way it should. The SnailBoys and Corey dig into exactly why this happens, what “servicing” a traditional extinguisher actually requires (and how expensive it gets), and the real-world failure modes that make traditional units a questionable choice for vehicle applications.

Rusoh’s solution is a non-pressurized, reloadable cartridge system — UL certified, see-through so you can visually check the powder at any time, and designed from the ground up for vehicles. Corey was the official fire extinguisher sponsor at King of the Hammers, and the Baja footage of a 10-pound Russo unit putting out a fully engulfed side-by-side race car is one of the most impressive product demonstrations Jimmy has seen. After putting 5 to 8 of them in his own warehouse, Jimmy has a pretty strong opinion: if you wheel, you need one of these.

They also get into Corey’s background — how his in-laws pulled him into rock crawling (after a brief side-by-side detour he’d rather not talk about), the Toyota mini-trucks they build at Rusoh, and a standing invitation to go run the Rubicon together.

Um, and turns out, I don't know, we just, we never talked about things further on later on. It turns out like we're definitely like similar people. Oh yeah. It's for sure. We're both kind of like, why didn't this happen earlier? So, um, anyways, we'll get into that in a little bit here. We're going to leave him over in, uh, the green room just outside the door here for a little bit longer. Um, but this is Monday, kind of the last Monday of the month here of April. Yes, it is. Yeah.
