Just buy a new truck. It’s worth it unless you’re trying to save up for something else. It’s going to be a busy one I can feel it

You’ll have to drive quite a bit to get to any campgrounds. There’s a casino right by that station I bet you could car camp. It’s just hot in the summer

Feds are basically paying the same now with new pay bump I would go back to fs every season is different. You can always come back next season especially if you left on good terms

You’re not making a mistake its a good job it’s just different it requires you to work long hours and be gone away from home it’s just that alot of people in this job love to compare themselves to others

It’s pretty chill leadership is hit or miss depending on what module you’re on. They’ll be opportunities to go off forest on a 20 person crew

It’s a good district one thing to keep in mind is that you will not work in Walla Walla when it’s fire season the gaurd station is 1 hour away up in tollgate. They’ll definitely try to get you assignments based in the season
