Mad props to Fire Line Sawyers

I got my NFS Sawyer card today and got to have a 1:1 student/teacher ratio, so I got to learn a lot about working on fire lines.

That shit's impressive.

I knew it was, but I had no grasp of how impressive it is compared to the average. Cutting down burning trees at a rate of several in ten minutes, for weeks on end, is mad impressive. The fitness required, the mental capacity to keep yourself and your swamper alive at the expected pace, it's just so far beyond what I can comprehend.

If any of you are in here, the world doesn't appreciate you enough. Thanks for what you do, you've kept my town from burning down before.
