Hey, thanks! I’ll happily accept your luck with what looks like a competitive area lol. Happy hunting man

Checked out your channel, cool vids 👍

@@brandonbudshores appreciate it man thanks

I’ll take the challenge!

Lol. ‘A good deal for a mechanic!’

Going back tomorrow in the AM!

That’s awesome!! Makes me want to keep it

Fair

I like the way you think!

Maybe!

Heck yeah rav4 is a beast. I bet it’ll kick the snow’s butt this winter

That’s a lot of dollars!

Perhaps, you can set a business in the states flipping these cars and transporting them to willing buyers. It's the same in Tanzania and all African countries. Remember why Africa is poor though. 😊

just a random dude from Iran just wanted to say situation here is same you need 10x the price of usa in here too haha 3rd world misery!

That’s awesome man!

Thanks for your comment! Small world lol. We were at Longbell for a majority of the roll

I didn’t think of that idea! Nice!

Lol. Rookie year, had no idea what I got myself into. Still learned a lot tho

Have fun!

My pleasure 🤠

…elaborate?

@@brandonbudshores when your on the edges of the smouldering stuff it looks like a red worm crawling sideways

It’s easy to get into! You could start with the forest service, blm or dnrc (these are called federal) or with a private company (contractors). Federal applications for next year have closed but private companies will start hiring for 2025 from January and on. The employer will train you or send you to classes for your wildland firefighting certifications and pack test. I started with private, no experience and they hired plus certified me. I highly recommend!

@@brandonbudshores I got a couple of questions for you, Im wondering if you have your emt i know you dont have to but i heard the pay bump is pretty nice. I live in Az and 17 and I have always wanted to do wildland but i dont wanna do it all my life and eventually switch to structure but ik its kinda frowned upon to switch. Anyways keep getting after it dawg love the videos!

Hey thanks man! Best of luck on your journey. Specific Wildland EMT’s make decent money. From what I understand though, EMT is a bonus for anyone on a crew but not necessary, therefore no pay bump. Forest service could be different though

Lol thanks! I hope young people find these videos and seek out the fire job opportunities

Sandstone! Just a pebbles throw over. Toy could be fun! Makes the water last a tad longer too

Promising to hear that. Thank you!

Hey thanks Bob!

PG&E try not to destroy california challenge (Impossible)

Almost peed my pants!

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah

Thanks Max!!! Love you, nephew 😄

Love you too

I wish I can still see you

Good one 🤣 thing was having a rough time

Maybe because the natives did prescribed burns which we were extremely against doing until recently? You talk like someone who has no idea how wildland fire works and it's kind of funny to be honest. You'd rather be racist than correct.

+1 @yolobathsalts

@brandonbudshores gotta call out misinformation anywhere I see it lol. Thanks for fighting fire. It takes a special kind of man.

Thanks for your comment! Appreciate the engagement

Thanks for pointing that out. RIP wildfire frog 🙏🏻

You’ve got a point there. We had to be cheap about the water usage because we were relying solely on tenders to fill us up. No local water sources

Thank you!

You’re funny dude😭 we only had MREs for one night. You’re not wrong about my poop schedule

⁠@@brandonbudshores😂

Great tip! Thank you sir

Well done, man! My guess for the bar and chain disassembling, is that I didn’t check beforehand to scrench the plate back in place. It could’ve been loose. Or, the chainsaw took massive vibration from me getting the bar stuck in the lumber

@@brandonbudshores hey man at least now you know before hand to check your saw before you go to cutting and if you see anything wrong ask your crew boss or if you’re unsure of anything this is a very good experience to go through happens to everybody id say a few times

@@MatthewHandshoe I've never had that happen to me, but have had the oiler cap or fuel cap vibrate off a couple of times I'm not a logger but have been cutting firewood since I was 16 I'm 59 now. but lesson learned when ya put the bar back on ya saw make sure you tighten the bar nuts after you adjust ya chain oh and make sure ya fuel and oiler caps are tight.

@MatthewHandshoe You’re right man, this was a lesson I could use for improvement. I’ll def make sure to do that from now on lol. I was embarrassed to say the least, with experienced fellers watching. Feller 1 & 2. They were cool about it and offered tips

@b.p.rwebber8098 absolutely, a lesson learned. Noted, make sure to tighten the oiler and fuel cap. Thanks!

Great question! Most people agree whether they’re the feds or not, that the chainsaw is a necessary tool for getting the job done. However, the Vipr contracts state that you cannot use the saw UNLESS you need to get your hose into a spot. I believe it has to do with liability, as I’ve heard stories of federal task force and division leaders who gave the okay for the contractors to use the saw for other reason than stated in the contract and lost their position (got demoted). It isn’t uncommon though for a task force leader to see that a contractor has their 212 and will be asked to cut limbs, brush, etc while knowing the rule. Some are cool with it, some aren’t. This doesn’t apply to hand crews though as I’m sure you know based upon your specifically posted question.

​​@@brandonbudshoresI've been in fire 20 years, most of it USFS (agency, NOT contract), and never seen anyone have a qual pulled over a minor admin issue like that. Hell I've seen outright stupid and dangerous 💩 from "qualified" people and bumped it up the chain only to have it be ignored or actively swept under the rug. Really, ignoring a contract clause puts you in more jeopardy (of being demobed and possibly losing your contract) than it would agency folks.

@MarkGTLLC thanks for the enlightenment and clarification!

Mixture of hose and bladder bag

​@@brandonbudshoreslekker man 🤙

Hey man, thanks for the tip! Splitting wood at the time was a hopeful practice for my first season of wildland. Your tip has really helped me with swinging my Pulaski out on the line. My endurance has taken a noticeable improvement. Thank you very much!!
