Oscar Unplugged: If you're Media and covering wildfires, you'll need a go-bag with these essentials

Welcome! Today I'll be talking about being prepared for covering wildfires if you're in the press. Often times, field crews make the mistake of not being truly prepared to stay out hours and hours with an angry Mother Nature.

In my time as a frontline breaking news videojournalist, I have learned a thing or two about what essentials to bring with me, so let me do a show-and-tell and see what's inside my fire go-bag.
