    Did 3 seasons on a wildland handcrew in California. Dug many miles of line and layed many miles of hose. The best part was saw operations. Surprised they don't use McLeods or Pulaskis anymore, look like hand tools are more specialized now. Best vlog yet. Keep one foot in the black.

    I must admit, it feels so freaking relatable watching them do all that Bush work out there while I did it ALOT during the Australian Bushfire season.. needless to say I grew biceps and lost 100 tonnes in sweat! we use the use of the hand tools to say "Welcome to the Rural Fire Service, what if we said this is only the beginning?!" gets them everytime! ahaha. I love instructing in the NSW Rural Fire Service! :)

    "just take the truck into the black" until the wind suddenly changes. Wildland firefighting, was the worst and scariest fires I fought. structures are easy, they stand still. Forests can quickly surround and trap you.

      I just know the Renault Camiva 180, wich is the most common in Chile. But you need to be stationed to pump water from the 4000 Lt tank.
