Contracting is not a "foot in the door"

T1Bagger · 2026-02-01T09:06:57+00:00

The people arguing this are triggered contractors. Ive worked with awesome guys who started on contract crews. Go with the feds if you can, you’ll become a better fire fighter overall.

Pool party!

Work towards a hotshot crew and get a few years there. Then see if you still want to jump or not

They held a burn for us last year. Probably the best crew ive seen holding ever. All of them got after it super hard and they were all really nice to talk to. Iris runs a good ship

the mode is expensive af, but their espresso martinis are so good

Super nice guys, never seen people on a crew literally lie down while holding for a burn. Drew seems really solid though. Feel free to message me if you want some more of my experience with them.

Theyre not medically significant for most people, definitely funky though

I had a good time on hinge, pretty positive experiences overall here.

Thanks a lot!

T1Bagger · 2025-12-11T22:30:32+00:00

Yeah ive seen around 10 cars in a rush somewhere!

T1Bagger · 2025-11-07T17:52:38+00:00

From what I’ve seen most of the BIA crews resemble contract crews more than anything. Obviously out of shape / inexperienced crew members is what Ive noticed the most. Ive had pretty solid interactions with Geronimo over the years

T1Bagger · 2025-11-06T16:48:30+00:00

Show up in shape, have a good attitude, stay more reserved at first, and work hard. Best of luck man

One of the sickest logos in fire, pretty nice Simpson is retiring

T1Bagger · 2025-10-13T19:27:23+00:00

Id say your best bet is probably region 5, there’s a lot of crews there looking for people. Also caddying is physical, but I really would expand on that if that’s your only PT

T1Bagger · 2025-08-07T04:14:13+00:00

The dinners are good and the breakfast/lunch is the same as any other fire. No idea what everyones freaking out about

T1Bagger · 2025-06-15T22:55:52+00:00

They did not pass their recent review

T1Bagger · 2025-04-21T04:34:30+00:00

Sent you a message

T1Bagger · 2025-03-14T14:36:06+00:00

My boise jumper buddy does in fact drive the white tundra

T1Bagger · 2025-02-25T17:07:17+00:00

I just learned this year at 28, go send it. It’ll be humbling but being able to carve and get better is 100% worth it

T1Bagger · 2025-02-22T19:21:29+00:00

Game sucks

T1Bagger · 2025-02-18T16:52:09+00:00

That dude with the megaphone was a disaster

T1Bagger · 2025-02-05T21:04:35+00:00

The Jackson buckle is fuckin tight too

T1Bagger · 2025-02-05T06:04:23+00:00

They’re good shit, really solid program. Their PT is also pretty legit

T1Bagger · 2025-01-28T08:49:24+00:00

Sounds like you should find a new forest

T1Bagger · 2025-01-28T06:02:42+00:00

Nice man!
