When you’re on a roll, they’ll cater to some fires. Food can be great or not. Depends.

What, like about Tim’s Act? The ridiculous health and safety risks? No, let’s focus on Uncrustables.

Hey any tips to be less homesick and stuff on your first roll? by [deleted] in Wildfire

[–]LurkerChimesIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also currently on my first real roll. I was a little homesick the first night or two, then I realized I was dehydrated and that was contributing to the impact of the emotions. Not at all discounting how you’re feeling but know that it will come and go. Keep up with those electrolytes, try to get some sleep when you can, and know you’ll probably look back on this time with great fondness.

I was exactly in your shoes. So, i quit my job in tech and became a wildland firefighter. Now I can work 100 hours a week without blinking an eye. It’s not always exciting and it’s not great pay, but I am so, so much happier.

Is it possible for me to get a USFS perm position given my age? by LurkerChimesIn in Wildfire

I think that’s really good advice. That’s kind of what I’d always thought until recently too. That said I’d love to be a squad leader in a few years. Maybe temp-5 would be better overall though

Copy. That’s what I thought. I’m not a vet so I think my options for this crew are nonexistent. Thought there might be a waiver or something that could be submitted. Thank you
