My former career

I just found this video I made of my Last season on a Forest Service Hotshot crew. I had to shorten it to fit youtube, but enjoy. There isnt too much sawyering, mostly because i was a sawyer and shooting video during the fires while cutting was a little intense. I might be able to dig up some nor cal doug fir cutting videos.

watch it now before they take the music away for violating some rights or some issue.

This footage is mostly from the derby fire in Montana in 06. Probably the most intense fire i was ever on and i think the largest fire in Montana history. Man i miss commuting to work via chopper.

That was some great footage. My hat off to you guys and gals for the work you do and did. Last helo ride for me was about 18 yrs ago.

I always thought they should make a tv show about smoke jumpers and the guys that fight forest fires
