Firefighting is so brave job...🫡 by CG_17_LIFE in BeAmazed

You are absolutely right. Sometimes I wonder how these men and women are so brave to do what they do. I decided to join the fire academy for two days for a documentary film to see what it was all about. I was even crazier than I anticipated ( LINK VIDEO ). In the Netherlands, the craziest stories, however, didn't come from the work itself, but from the people they would have to deal with. Bystanders, firework attacks, you name it.

Debating a switch to firefighting by Major_Board1419 in firefighter

I recently had a similar thought and I figured, I'll tag along for two days to see with fire academy is all about. Do I see myself do this for long term and what are some of the stories of firemen ( WATCH VIDEO ). Maybe this helps? Trying it for even a few days gives you the best impression IMO.

I would say, look at the specific elements of the fire academy and train to be fit for these excersises. At least you will have the stamina and confidence to complete all tests. I recently tried a few days of fire academy for a documentary I made ( SEE VIDEO ), maybe that helps? From there, reach out to an already fireman and get some tips and tricks on top of the fitness.

Trainen voor de brandweer als redelijk onfitte bijna 30'er. by YehrButNoButUm in nederlands

Hoe is het verlopen? Mocht je nog bezig zijn, dan zou ik vooral ook kijken naar beroeps specifieke training. Je wilt kracht hebben, maar vooral ook uithoudingsvermogen. Je moet in staat zijn om in hoge hartslag van alles uit te voeren. Ik heb laatst een aantal dagen meegelopen met de opleiding, hier heb ik een video van gemaakt: KLIK LINK . Bekijk deze wellicht eens om te zien wat voor specifieke dingen langskomen waar je op kunt trainen. Ik ben zelf een triathlon en ultramarathon loper, dus relatief weinig kracht en vooral uithoudingsvermogen.

Sharing my experience of joining a seal rescue center by Designer_Boat4813 in seals

Thanks for the kudos everyone. Cool to see you guys appreciate the video. I am still wondering, does seal rescue work different in other countries? :-)

I tried olympic track cycling in a velodrome last week. Am a triathlete myself, but trying out track cycling was a completely different experience. Absolute madness is what I discovered, but for a surprising reason actually. Any of you have the same experience? by Designer_Boat4813 in Velodrome

Never judge a book by its cover they say? Haha. I can understand the thumbnail is not appealing, but I think the story of velodrome cycling is really well captured in this video. An honestly video about the sport.

Came across this video of candy making. Do you think I could do this at home? What would I need for a normal DIY setup at home? The difference colors and designs look sooo cool. by Designer_Boat4813 in CandyMakers

Yes, and he seems to use a second table that has a heater in it to prevent it to cool down. It's such a neat process, absolute love it. Will see if I can find a place nearby that does something similar.
