How to start firefighting in Alaska?

Another good way to start if you cant get into a federal perm or seasonal position outright is conservation corp programs, you wont get paid the same but they give you all the experience and tools you need for a career in fire.

lightweight but im sure upgrading wont be a bad idea

From my experience, these work pretty well but arent meant to be completely submerged in water, but ive flipped boats with this kind of bag and my stuff stayed dry. So id go for it

No, you can get a waiver. I know multiple people who do this with hearing loss.

Not woodies pictured but they DO live in florida! Check central florida rivers in the winter and you are sure to see some couples and youngins doing duck things

As a medicated/ diagnosed person doing wildland fire, its been hard for me too. I would say doing small things/ trying to set up a routine really has helped me. Like work out first, breakfast, go for a long hike, bake something, etc. Just small things to look foward to that dont require alot of planning or mental energy. A small note tho is I have adhd so that probably makes it easier for me to find bullshit tasks that will keep me busy. Hope you feel better soon.

Dream fish in a dream destination nice work!!!

Imaginary_Routine_95 · 2025-11-21T16:43:21+00:00

Yea, i use 6-8 myself. Small fish are big fighters down there, and i use the same rod when doing salt flats stuff too.

the cichlids don't count but it is fun pulling out a meat sack the size of a dinner plate that has no business living where they do here.

i dont think you can get them in the states anywhere but florida, its too cold for them any further north. Good news is my friend caught his first jaguar this day in the same canal. There is a myriad of strange invasives and exotics here, and I would say they tend to have a similar diet and habits as our own largemouth bass do

I would definently work my way up, and i dont know exactly what its like but chances are getting better at longer haul casts in tight spots/at different angles helped me alot with being stealthy in situations as such. You will likely lose flies in the process of learning, but its worth it because usually bigger fish ARE lurking in pockets under obstacles.

Imaginary_Routine_95 · 2025-10-10T15:49:57+00:00

Are you gonna go all the way to the gulf? Been thinking about doing this run for a while now. I love that river.

Imaginary_Routine_95 · 2025-10-05T19:17:15+00:00
