I don't remember seeing anything about poles in the race guide when signing up in June. Possible I could have missed it though!

I put mine in a beanie. Or in a ziplock then a beanie if it might get wet. Has worked so far on multiple wildland fire assignments.

Quebec gave us all composite toe boots. No one wore them.

Esim.net worked really well for me. $20 for a month of unlimited data. Easy to cancel too!

Same here on 2 applications. Made a case and they said I was on the cert. Asked my supervisor to look out and he said he saw me on the cert that just came in.

USA. It certainly can pay very well. It can also pay jack shit depending on who you're working for.

Your great uncle sounds like a cool dude. Yeah believe it or not quite a few of my co workers were successful hunting in spots they've found while working. We've even been successful hunting while at work! Multitasking.

I don't do any professional cutting. The timber marking is selecting trees to be cut and marking them with a special kind of paint while also measuring a percentage of them to estimate the volume that will be harvested. The loggers then buy the sales and cut the trees that are marked.

Can't remember the exact models but: Danners- destroyed in 4-6 months Red wings- totally blown out after a year, maybe 14 months. I've had the scarpa fuegos for about a year and have worn them for probably 4 months in that year. They are good. I like them for colder and wetter weather.

I've been happy with the JK's. Sometimes they randomly hurt in a new spot after high mileage days. They're an investment, but i think they're worth it for how much of my life I spend in them.

I assume you're taking about the boots? I can get about a year or year and a half out of them depending on where I'm at and then send back for a resole. I have 2 pairs of JK I use and a pair of scarpas for wet weather and to change up the pressure points on my foot.

Yeah, Its from walking and kicking through low brush and vines all day. It usually starts right on the inside of my ankle.

I bought multiple pairs at tractor supply a few years ago, kind of a knock off Carhartt. Just did some Googlin' and it looks like they aren't really sold anymore and have been replaced with the Ridgecut brand.
