I loved spending time outside, hiking and working hard on the fireline, working with quality people and building great relationships.
What I wish was different
My location in Cedarville, CA was a little different than I had anticipated before relocating out there for the position.
Advice
If you would like to learn the skill of working hard, dealing with struggles and learning to overcome them. This is a great job for that, constantly challenging and a great experience for someone who enjoys working and being in the outdoors like myself.
