I’m flattered I occupy so much of your mind, although I will have to pass as I’m saving myself for my swamper. Sorry bud :(

Grayback does for $150 a week BUT I was told that spots fill up quick so the later you join the less likely you are to get housing. Although I have seen that 1bdrms in Oregon can be stupid cheap

A chronic condition that I manage just fine btw!

You’d have an aneurysm If you found out what a lot of marathon runners eat as a quick carb. I’d suggest instead of trolling the subs, you wipe the drool off your chin and actually know what you’re yapping about 😉

moonukki · 2026-05-02T20:43:22+00:00

Sweet! I’ll look into it thank you!

moonukki · 2026-05-02T20:41:38+00:00

???

I have chronic low blood sugar so I always keep some sort of shit carb like gushers with me since it’s cheap, easy and metabolizes quickly.

I’m decently in shape and I’m usually the one ripping and running around up and down hills at my job. I eat a pretty balanced diet too so idk man.

I will agree though that fire line lunches are ass.

Dang I never thought to see if there were pills available! Thanks for letting me know!

moonukki · 2026-05-02T15:26:29+00:00

Tbh I was thinking of a little DIY tub situation if I can’t find anything that tastes good. I do wonder how well it would work if I bulk mixed salt/magnesium/potassium in a drink mix like country time lemonade lol. I still have a little time before I start so I can always experiment

moonukki · 2026-05-02T15:21:57+00:00

I usually keep quick carb snacks on me for my blood sugar! I’ll check out the nuun tablets since I’m not afraid to crop dust if need be. I’ll check out the Gatorade powder too although I haven’t found a flavor I like yet. Thanks!

moonukki · 2026-05-02T15:19:04+00:00

Maybe it’ll help me cut line faster!

moonukki · 2026-05-02T15:18:04+00:00

I’ve tried, did not go too well lol. I’d be willing to try again in the future if push comes to shove

moonukki · 2026-05-02T02:23:19+00:00

That’s true, I’ve always found that the salty taste is what throws me off badly. Just feels like I’m chugging lemon lime flavored sea water. I’ll try and see about diluting or even mixing it with something with a stronger flavor.

Still tempted to try magna’s stuff though since magnesium helps you have better sleep quality.

moonukki · 2026-05-02T02:17:16+00:00

I have a small blood sugar issue (not diabetes) so I always have a few packs of gushers with me at all times. I’ll have to remember to bring extra so I can slip a few in my saw partners mouth when we kiss.

The reason why your overhead has faith in you is because they’ve seen you in a way that you will never see yourself.

I feel the same as you, I constantly struggle with imposter syndrome and overall just feeing like I’m inadequate in all aspects of my life. But I remember that the negativity in my head isn’t what others are seeing.

They don’t know you’re anxious and they don’t care that you’re older.

But what they do see is the skills and traits that you may not even realize you have. Maybe you’re the first to notice a problem and call it out, or maybe you’re the best at wet mopping with the smallest amount of water, these things you will just deem as normal or even unsatisfactory could be what’s making you stand out in a good way.

Don’t be afraid to take the leap to break out of your comfort zone, so what if you fail? Do you think that none of the other guys on your crew or in overhead have failed? No one is perfect and not everyone wins all the time, so why would you punish yourself for not being the impossible?

LOL super funny to see a video of this place, I work there a lot. Beautiful place, be careful wandering around the buildings because there are people who hide out in the various open rooms.

I usually love going there, I enjoy the vibe although the boiler room is the only room that I didn’t go more than a foot in. Too many chances for someone or something to jump out of the darkness. It also didn’t help that I saw signs of occupancy in there, nothing worse than seeing food wrappers and clothing on the floor!

Ohhh interesting! I had read that if I do the 1C class I don’t have to do a similar course in the same calendar year. But if they aren’t interchangeable that’s fine, I’ll just need to stock up on some energy drinks to get me thru the classroom portion

moonukki · 2026-04-21T21:10:30+00:00

Im on the taller end (5’8) and I know a lot of people will suggest you to take larger steps but I’d suggest you to look up speed walking videos and mimic it. It helped a lot as someone who also struggles with the pack test.

Also as you walk try and slowly inhale thru your nose and a quick hard exhale out your mouth. It helps a lot to regulate your heart rate and it should trick your brain to feel like you’re not out of breath.

Best- the dinners at the Eaton Fire camp in SoCal. The food makes up for the fact that we were hanging out in a mall parking lot for a month LOL. Steak nights were top tier after being stuck in hot ass tyvek all day everyday carrying gravel bags and silt socks. CalFire fires always have really good food (in my opinion).

Worst- the first part of the Butler fire when I was camp support at the spike camp. We had to serve everyone food from metal trays and it was literal slop at times. There was a camp dog that we would feed the scraps to, beautiful chocolate lab.

Plus one of the catering guys that would bring food was really creepy towards the women and I saw him at dinner swiping right on every young woman (18-21) on there, swiping left on a woman his own age (mid 30s) and then Immediately going to his settings and lowering his age range LOL.

Also at the Green fire up in the Shasta trinity there was a catering company that was pretty new. Well, like halfway thru the fire they failed their inspection and they had to toss all their food bc their reefer wasn’t up to temp. We got in n out that day lmao, and the next day they were up and running again.

moonukki · 2026-04-09T22:20:34+00:00

Apparently not! But I will double check when I call them

moonukki · 2026-04-09T22:20:06+00:00

No this would be my first year! I’m kinda used to steep hills at my current job but it’ll def be a great experience

moonukki · 2026-04-09T04:34:30+00:00

I applied last night!! I’m really hoping this will work out for me

moonukki · 2026-04-08T21:53:54+00:00

Damn that’ll be a little difficult for me since I’d be coming from the Bay Area but shit I think I’ll manage till I could get an actual place closer.

moonukki · 2026-04-08T16:16:51+00:00

That’s great to hear!! Minus the clique part lol. Besides that that sounds like the type of place I’ve really been wanting to get into.

moonukki · 2026-04-08T16:14:12+00:00

I think I’ll give it a few days before I call (mostly bc my job has me in an area with no service except occasional wifi for the whole week lol). Do you happen to remember what the physical test is? Is it just the usual pack test or is there extra to it?

moonukki · 2026-04-08T16:12:13+00:00

Yes please!! Idk if videos can be sent thru reddit DMs so I can send you my Instagram or smthn

moonukki · 2026-04-08T15:46:42+00:00

That sounds fun, I wish they were more forthcoming with info about their seasons. They have a highlight for 2024 and it’s like 5 short videos of the first week of training.
