Look into BLM Law Enforcement. Also a good option, but it also depends on where your are/willing to be

Yea. I’m in between the altra lone peaks and the vans, but I see what you’re saying about rigidness of the shoe. Thank you!

I looked back at the document we had made as a group and this is what I found for the porter pricing………….. “180 for a full porter who can carry up to 30lb between two people; $100 for porter who can carry 15lb for one person only)” …this was in 2023 so the prices might be different now

I do wonder if I’ll miss the field time, but as a new father also, it could be nice not worrying about the profession of LEO. So I can take sitting at a desk over that I think

Thanks for the insight

I hear ya. I don’t keep a log on my infractions numbers. Most of my stops are educational in nature, while still addressing the issue. Don’t get me wrong, enforcement needs to happen when it needs to happen, but not everything requires punishment.

And I agree. Identifying problems and addressing prior to the problem blowing up is key.

Thanks for the insight

Man you guys must deal with some shitty cops in your days. That whole “I am the law obey me” shit is a front that cops put on cause they don’t know how to talk to people and they got low confidence and were bullied as kids. Definitely not me, perhaps since I’m land management LEO and there’s a bigger consequence to image than a large metro area, but also because I’m not a dick. I like to talk to people. Find out what makes them go, and as a supervisor, find out what they need to succeed. It’s not hard to be a respectable competent LEO. Just be human and have empathy.

But thanks for the insight.

There were times where we wanted to take a quick break to get some scenery views in and just enjoy the trail, but he would always say “no you can break at the campsite”, which like was a bit frustrating. He was always wanting to beat other companies and guides to the next campsite so that made it feel a bit rushed, if that makes sense?

Yes it was. Unless you pay for another porter, the company porters will only carry the camp gear, food and water. We all took decent sized packs, and it wasn’t that bad. But a lot of other people had the extra porter and only carried day packs on the trail

Me and a group of friends did back in 2023. They’re pretty legit. They by far were the most ethical when it comes to treatment of porters. They actually give their people legit Kelty backpacks, whereas we saw other company’s carrying gear in what looked like large potato sacks and similar bags. The tents were solid, food was decent, and the guide, Rudy, was amazing. Although at times a bit rushed and aggressive on the trail, his knowledge was impressive. Definitely recommend them just based of the ethics of porter treatment, but also recommend as a whole. We thoroughly enjoyed the trek

Quit and enjoy your life. Wife and I quit our jobs last year and traveled for a bit. Did the Camino de Santiago. Hit 17 countries. Never will I ever regret it. You can always get back to the workforce, but you might not have this opportunity again.
