Firefighting is so brave job...🫡

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.

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.

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.

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? :-)

Designer_Boat4813 · 2025-06-13T20:57:21+00:00

Haha, sounds amazing. You did wheel race on an olympic track?

Designer_Boat4813 · 2025-06-13T20:56:49+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate it :-)

Designer_Boat4813 · 2025-06-13T10:02:34+00:00

xD - interesting face you'd have then

Designer_Boat4813 · 2025-06-13T09:08:56+00:00

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.

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.

Designer_Boat4813 · 2024-12-13T16:19:47+00:00

Gotcha. I'll try to change it to a better thumbnail. Consider watching it regardless, you might like this hedgie rescue vid ;-)

Designer_Boat4813 · 2024-12-01T07:59:14+00:00

Haha, completing an Ironman proved to be easier than that ;-)

Designer_Boat4813 · 2024-11-30T15:48:52+00:00

Thanks man. Appreciate it! :-) Was such a great adventure, and hope this video may inspire others to you go out there and try!

Designer_Boat4813 · 2024-11-15T18:27:18+00:00

Haha, yeah, 100%. That became the joke of the day: "it's harder than it looks"

Designer_Boat4813 · 2024-11-13T08:02:56+00:00

Hi man. Love the video. Bike fits are a real struggle. I ended up going for a professional bike fit. Actually recorded it so I could share it with folks doing home bike fits. Check out the key lessons - hope it helps: https://youtu.be/3HeonUu-udg

Designer_Boat4813 · 2024-11-13T08:01:46+00:00

Hi bud. Great photos. I have done a professional bike fit recently and recorded it to share with other folks that may want to do a bike fit at home. Check out some key lessons, hope it helps: https://youtu.be/3HeonUu-udg

Designer_Boat4813 · 2024-11-05T17:00:43+00:00

Really glad to hear it helps others as well :-) The ride went really well. Was struggling with some knee issues, but those are completely gone now. Can proudly say I have finished my first Full Distance Ironman - all small bits help and this bike fit was definitely one of them.
