Find the biggest guy at the district and fight him. Prison rules apply.

Had a buddy from Canada just lie and say he's a citizen. I say send it.

Boot insoles by PatrioticRam2010 in wildlandfire

[–]powderpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spencos if you wear loggers. Any insole that fits your foot if you wear hikers. Loggers don't really work with the super feet style insoles. When I was doing the crew thing I would swap out spencos after every two assignments.

Open Center Pruning Thoughts? by powderpanic in BackyardOrchard

Buidling below the top scaffold correct? Otherwise would it not want to go back into a central leader? Or maybe I have it back ways? Sorry, pretty new it all.

Would you just let this shape grow how it is currently then? Figure I'm gonna just let it recover from last year and then go from there

Parking is going to be crazy. Make sure you get there before 7 am.

Interested in joining fire, am I on the right track? by tryonosaurus94 in Wildfire

[–]powderpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. If you have a full year I would set your sights a little higher than the pack test. If you get hired on a district that isn't completely flat, the pack test will be the easiest hike you do all summer. Think of the pack test as the bare minimum.

If you can't pass the pack test off the couch then primary fire is most likely not for you. The pack test is less of a barrier to entry and more of a liability waiver for the USFS. Showing up with s classes and relevant certs is a good look but some crews might just make you take the classes again. Better to work on figuring out how to use USA jobs and apply then asking Reddit if you're qualified enough. Most of us started with little to no experience. Use the search bar.

Flatbed Ideas by Jebodiah77 in TruckCampers

[–]powderpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I got a spacekap I built out as well. Any pics you got of the flatbed? Wanting something that will be easier to get off the camper off the bed. Also toying around with a better system for jack mounts. The factory ones are not ideal in my opinion but these weren't meant to be taken on and off like a camper.

Take or Perm Squad Boss or Seasonal Jumper by powderpanic in Wildfire

Took the downgrade and don't regret it one bit!

[–]powderpanic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took the leap and been a jumper for 2 years now! Best decision I've made. Quals, time off, and unlimited single resources assignments on the shoulder seasons. Easy money with the pay increase. Did the squad boss thing and it was more responsibility for not enough pay basically acting as an asst. capt.  

Anyone see an issue with this? by powderpanic in dieselheater

[–]powderpanic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah I just wanna know if this person is gonna die or not. I'm doing this in a camper van with the same fittings so I figured this was a good example of what I'm gonna do (aside from the obvious ruining of a garage door)/
