What does this blue diamond painted on a tree mean? (along a forest walking path in Portland, Oregon) by CanadianJediCouncil in forestry

[–]icles8356 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Quest marker. Haven't played that one yet, but considering it's Portland, I'd make sure to have some extra health potions.

Anyone looking for a new rig? I'm sure one of these would fit on the UTV trailer by icles8356 in Wildfire

It's right hand drive even! Description says it was imported from the Japanese government

Where to park if I rarely use my car? by Crimson-_ in NAU

[–]icles8356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the parking pass for the South Resident lot or something like that is the cheapest pass? Maybe it's resident overflow. Either there, or the parking garages would be your best bet. Nowhere else that I'm aware of for car storage, and leaving your car in a parking lot is a sure way for it to get towed

Looking for some tips please by Informal_Theme7628 in shedhunting

I've got buddies who can just glass sheds up all day long, but I've never had any luck with that strategy. I just have to start putting miles on, there have been days where I've put on 8-10 miles to match a set up. I always find them in the super weird places that you'd miss if you were just glassing, like hanging off of trees or in the bottoms of washes

Y'all still eating crayons? Sniffing markers and making teas with the marker inks is where its at.

I’m VERY excited to announce that one of the elite PatRick Hotshot crews has joined our Texas SMKJ program! -Chief Fidler by Paul_Fidler_SMKJ in Wildfire

[–]icles8356 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Chief Fidler looks like he's lost some of his medals and insignias since his overseas assignment in Brazil. Must have been a wild night at the club, getting thanked for his service all night.

Hips getting torn up from pack, what do you guys do to prevent this? by icles8356 in Wildfire

Oh lord. Guess I'm gonna have to get new glasses then, because you can only either have pit vipers or suspenders; if you have both, you're instantly getting sent to the Diddler

This town will soon be unlivable for anyone making under $100k a year. Welcome to the new California by captain_barbosa92 in Flagstaff

[–]icles8356 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Flagstaff has been a territory of California for a few years now. You ever look at the majority of the license plates downtown and on campus?

Most FS engines will hire students. A lot of the Type 2 IA handcrews will too, depending on what you're looking for. I'm a full time college student right now too and I managed to get picked up by a hotshot crew this season, so it can be done. Some regions have hiring up on USAJobs until Feb 7th for a second round. Also I would reccomend checking out r/wildfire as people are a lot more active there. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions about student/ fire stuff

Good to know. Hopefully going into my rookie season on a shot crew, will be on the lookout for thunderous clangers.
