Value Tactics
Приєднався 6 бер 2015
I'm a normal guy with a full time job, a wife, and 5 kids. Despite my busy and hectic life, over the last few years I have picked up the hobby of free travel. Credit card sign-up bonuses are a major component, but there's a lot more involved. The web is full of blogs and forums related to the tactics involved, but it can be an intimidating amount of info if you're just starting out. The goal of my UA-cam channel and website (valuetactics.com) is to summarize some of my research with these tactics, report my results to give you a realistic picture of how it can work, and give some in depth reviews and analyses of my own.

Переглядів 2,3 тис.7 років тому
Our three kids' react to hearing we are going to Disney World. We knew they would be happy, but we never guessed they would laugh and cry at the same time. A great video to watch if you're in a bad mood; their pure joy is undeniably contagious! The whole trip is possible because of our hobby for free (or almost free) travel! Spend some time on my website to learn how we managed to fly 5 of us t...

Highlights from our afternoon at Makena Beach (Big Beach) on Maui. This was part of our awesome Hawaiian get-away we were able to plan because of some free hotel night offers from credit cards. To find out how we planned the trip, check out www.valuetactics.com
47 year old minnesotan heading to the u of m for forestry this fall. Perfectly relevant video for me. Thanks bud
Good to see another old person here lol I'm 40 about to turn 41 and also about to do the same

Are there lesser known jobs similar to forestry that one might not readily know about without being in the forestry business for a while? I'm curious what other sorts of positions might be out there for someone interested in working in the woods but who might not have a four year degree.
Can you carry? What’s the uniform?
Great video. My daughter is hopefully going into forestry. Seems very rewarding especially for those who desire to be in the woods.
Thank you so much, Keep up the Videos
Lol 🐝 🐝 🐺
Similar to being in a washing machine..😄.
The dream job...
I want to become a Forester but I think I'm not good enough to be one
The resort has been and continues to be renovated constantly. Why anyone would give this video a thumbs down is beyond me. Covid is keeping us away this year unfortunately but 2022 is booked for trip number 5. Great video.
I have some kind of joints problem but I think I can manage to walk for hours, am I fit for the forestry?
Sir what's your email?
What school did you go to for college?
I am planning to study forest technology in Alberta is it good as a carrier ?
I currently can't afford to get a degree but parks and nature have been my passion for my entire life (hell I helped build 4 trails @ paris mtn state park) I've volunteered there and countless other parks ever since I was young it broke my heart to see I needed a degree to get just about any job in the forest service are there positions that don't require a degree? My grandfather was in the forest service for 25 years id love to follow in his footsteps
Just go for it.
@Chance Dudley there are usually plenty of jobs at the city, state, and federal level for both the parks & wildlife and forestry departments/service that dont require a degree. If you really want it, and are willing to make those sacrifices and work hard you can get one of those jobs. Now I dont know your personal situation, but federal level jobs like the forest service require you to relocate often for career advancement as well as the states department will do the same within the state. I see you are probably from around the South Carolina area so I don't know how wages exactly are over there. Usually these jobs that dont require a degree dont pay much but they're definitely better than you average wages/ salary. So seeing that you would enjoy it. You could make those location and wage sacrifices to get that job that you want, and often the department/service your with will sponsor continuing education and possibly a degree so you can keep progressing. Just look for resource specialist, forestry technician, wildlife technician, and other similar job names. Make sure your fully read the job description so you know what it entails and your getting yourself into. As long as you take pride in the work outside, you'll enjoy it! Good luck!
I did the Conservation Corporation of MN and IA at Crow Hassan Park as a Forestry term. Was fun, and trying to find a Forestry type
Thanks !
Good video, i am 16 Years old Welding in College, i am a Prodigy Welder according to the local Welders and instructors but I’m also 6’3”, wouldn’t live very long lol, i also considered doing this as a back up but it’s becoming more realistic everyday, thanks for the video
Is this a challenging career with a ton to learn like geology? I am thinking of doing forestry instead of geology because I love the adventure/outdoors but I want to have a family some day. I have ADD and NEED a career that is full of variety, lots to learn, and challenging, creative thinking or else I lose motivation. Thank you!
Hey Ross. I’m 25 (coincidentally) and currently pursing my passion as a Forester. About to transfer out to a 4 year institution in Northern Cali. I want some pointers and advice and how to go about becoming the best candidate possible once I get my degree. May I have you contact info(email) ? Much appreciated Ross. Keep living the dream
very interesting, thank you
I have like 12000 questions! I am looking into Forester as a career choice, or possibly a Wildlife Biologist. From what I have found so far it's hard to have a family as a wildlife biologist. How is family life with a career in Forestry? What's a typical day as far as hours? How much traveling? I'm a single mom with 4 young kids so my family is very important to me.
where's dad, jane?

Are there entrepreneur routes I can take with a Forestry degree? Can I start my own business consulting people or is this business idea impossible to start up? Also what would be a good minor to pair with a forestry degree?
Bbaby Baby best advice I can give you is get your boots dirty and your feet wet. Do the entry level stuff and cut a few trees. Marry the dirty work with the theory.
Thanks for this video! I'm a high school student and I've been stressing to figure out what I want to stdy in colloge and do for a career. I cannot stand the idea of working a desk job and i love the outdoors and this job actually seems like something I would enjoy!
Durrant Miller amen..same
I wanted both desk job and outdoor job actually. I thought a forester would work into an office first then venture to the forests after.
But yeah, I never wanted to sit on a cubicle forever.
Yeah man. Like this guy I came to Forestry late (25) worked my way up from invasive species control, through chainsaw work. Working with the Forestry Commission in the UK, through forest work supervisor and now I’m a forester. It’s a brilliant career. It’s hard work at the bottom but if you love it. You’ll really love it. Go for it young man!
how's everything going now?
Needs a major renovation
Hello sir i have done bsc forestry and i am from india. Can u suggest me any job
Like the camera angle
Would you say that a career in forestry is possible for a woman? I am concerned over whether it will require lots of body strength. I don't mind physical labor, as I do weight lifting and a lot of exercise already, but I'm afraid of it being above my strength ability.
Forestry is a great career for anyone who likes to be outdoors and manage forests. Many of my friends from school are women who work in forestry; some as field foresters and some in more office related work - in about the same mix as my male classmates. For a field position strength is not as important as endurance, as sometimes walking all day through rough terrain is necessary. Even within the wildfire aspect of the job there are a multitude of different positions for all fitness levels, from logistics and communications to pulaski motor (digging line all day). The NWCG (National Wildfire Coordinating Group) work capacity test involves walking 3 miles in 45 minutes with a 45 lb vest at the "arduous" level, which would qualify you (fitness-wise) for any wildfire job.
I know this was three years ago, but im actually going to school to be a resource forester and I'm a girl! Yes, from what I hear, it can be physically demanding. But you should be able to work with other people to help! Even if it means having the dudes do more physical work!
Awesome job
im in the same boat.... im 25, left school- had decent jobs... but wanted something I enjoy mainly. I moved to kauai and im applying now for forestry technician, I hope to either continue to forester.
@@nl6942 Well that was an extremely long conversation..
We were there for two weeks at the end of June and the first week of July last year, I want to go back so bad, we have been to the Mexican Caribbean a couple of times and Maui and Kauai 7 or 8 times but this was the best place by far. We did get approached by a couple that asked us if we were swingers, we are not but it was good for my ego since I'm in my mid 60s however my wife is beautiful and in her early 50s. I highly recommend this to anybody that's going to spend the money on a one time adventure.
Dear Jack Smith: You should have acquiesced. Your ego would have been launched outwardly and upward with pulsating vector. Your overt turgid confidence would have been pronounced both in soul and body.
hi dear... what are the qualification for forester....
Prob need a bachelors degree. You can do stuff for the forest service with just hs degree but pay and positions get capped much lower
Thank you so much for making this video for the kids!

This was awesome! What a great moment to capture! We go back next month. Great job guys!
Adorable!
We're going in a week! First time to Jamaica and I researched the heck out of the all-inclusive resorts on the Negril side. After reading your review I'm so glad we chose Couples! I can wait! We'll be staying 7 nights!
Research is the key! I read hours and hours of tripadvisor reviews before deciding on this place.
I was married here. love it. been here a few times and going this winter
We're going next year 2018 in May and I'm excited already.
Is this a swinger's resort?
I think it would have a name closer to "Open Couples" if that were the case.
No it's for couples. You are looking for Hedonism or Hedonism II
We were approached by a couple that asked us if we were swingers and we politely declined.
