Transcript included below…Today I'm going to provide a strategy that just might sharpen your approach to playing any song you work onToday's episode will be one of the shortest you'll experience here, because I want to get right to the point.And I'm going to use an analogy, like I enjoy doing from time to time.Several years ago, I was performing at a big festival, and one of the ladies who was serving the food to the musicians told me about her career.  It was an unexpected revelation.  She was a smokejumper.Now, if you know what a smokejumper is, great!  If you don't, it's basically a firefighter who drops into a forest fire by way of a parachute.  I would think that starting at the edge of the fire would be sufficient, but smokejumpers have been able to strategically drop in and drastically reduce the fire damage more quickly, because they target specific spots.It doesn't make things any easier; in fact, it's considerably more dangerous.  Just imagine it, right?Well, let's take a piece of music for a moment – it could be a fingerstyle guitar solo in an alternate tuning with lots of ties across the bar line…or it could be a pretty standard worship song in 4/4 time with “Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus, Chorus” song form.Really, the type of song does not matter for my point of illustration.  And the level of difficulty doesn't matter, either.What does matter is the strategic approach to tackling the song.How many of us have heard someone play a song (especially a difficult one) from the beginning, and listened as the song gradually fell apart?Lots of us.Why would this be, you ask?  Perhaps because the person who had practiced it employed the approach, when running into challenges, of going back to the beginning and starting over.Now I'm not at all against playing from the beginning.But if it's the rule, not the exception, I have another suggestion…and hear it is.  You ready?Find the challenge spot and work on that.Literally jump into the middle of the piece and work the section that needs the most help.This might feel natural, because it might be right at the chorus.Or maybe it will be in the middle of a measure.  Or the latter half of a beat.You'll know, because you'll be able to target the point in the music that needs work, and you can approach it from the nearest point of entry.If you're in a worship team rehearsal, guide your band to a spot you can all find (e.g. pick-up to measure 9.) If you're on your own, you'll have a little more flexibility and can find a spot at a gentler pace.But do me (and yourself) this favor: avoid the temptation to go back to the beginning over and over.It will save time, it will allow you to get to know the piece better overall, and it will enable you to solidify the more difficult sections more quickly.In short, it will help you put out the fire effectively…like a smokejumper.Make sense?Conclusion and Next StepsAnd that just about wraps things up for today.  Yep, I wanted to keep things succinct for today's episode, because sometimes, all it takes is a simple thought to get you on your way.And if you want more simple thoughts, find us on social media on Instagram, YouTube and Facebook where GuitarSuccess4U has a presence in each.  Some of our content appears in all three areas, and it includes short-form content like reels or shorts that are less than 60 seconds long. Little nuggets of wisdom, encouragement and practical thoughts.It's been interesting to watch and see who responds more to what on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, based on the audience.But if you're looking for the real meat, the real feast, treat yourself to GuitarSuccess4U, a members-only experience for Christian guitarists who know there's more to the guitar and music.If today's analogy and thoughts gave you something to run with, just imagine what a proven 6-stage Success Path and 8 bonus guest expert interviews could do, to say nothing of the Christ-honoring community of what I call my “Guitar Successors.”We'd love to welcome you in.Learn more and join now at GuitarSuccess4U.com.And if you want to experience our new free guitar web masterclass, just include a forward slash and the word “formula” after that.  So, the URL would be GuitarSuccess4U.com/formula.  I can't wait to see what the Lord does for you with this new Smokejumper Strategy, and I hope to serve you inside GuitarSuccess4U!Thanks for experiencing these thoughts, and I'll see you next time!Thanks for reading Guitar Serious Fun!

On Today's Show, https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/ I have on Doug Cote to discuss the record-breaking wildfire season in Canada. Doug has a long and extensive wildfire career, including smoke jumping in the Yukon, and now his career is focused on prescribed fire and aerial ignition work in the Northern Boreal forests and working with Indigenous communities to bolster burn programs. We discuss the wild year that Canada had and what that looked like from the ground. We cover the tactics used up North and the reality of leaving fires over a million acres unstaffed or with limited staffing. We cover the ever-growing cross-border resource sharing that took place with Hotshot crews and teams, and like myself, Doug sees this as an increasing trend. We also talk about the unprecedented line-of-duty deaths that took place this year in Canada and how they can learn and understand why these took place. A fascinating conversation.

GTM Disrupted host Mike Smart recently got a chance to spend a few minutes with Rich Mironov, Silicon Valley start-up veteran and software product executive expert, coach, and mentor to discuss what CPOs must do to thrive in a modern software company. Rich shares from his experience as a “smokejumper” parachuting into over 13 engagements as an interim product executive. According to Rich, the priorities of a CPO have shifted from release velocity to sales velocity. The modern product executive must play a major role in using technology and the product to drive the economics of selling. Key learnings from this podcast include:  Lead Strategic Alignment  Master Financial Fluency  Initiate Trade-off Discussions  Nurture an Innovative Culture Rich's Bio: Rich Mironov is a 40-year veteran of Silicon Valley product management, including six startups. He coaches product leaders, helps design software product organizations, and sometimes parachutes into software companies as the interim CPO or VP Products. Unofficially he's a sounding board for dozens of senior product folks. He has been blogging about software product management since 2002 and wrote "The Art of Product Management."

Anthony est pompier. Mais un pompier un peu spécial. Il est smokejumper plus exactement, ou pompier parachutiste, et il exerce ce métier en Colombie Britannique, au Canada.Anthony, c'est l'histoire d'un jeune de 25 ans originaire du Sud de la France qui se rend vite compte que sa routine de vie ne lui convient plus. À l'époque, il travaille dans un garage automobile, joue au rugby et s'engage comme pompier volontaire.Un jour il voit un film, Only the Brave, qui met en avant les Hotshots, des pompiers d'élite aux États-Unis. En faisant quelques recherches, il découvre une autre spécialité des pompiers en Amérique du Nord : les smokejumpers. L'idée le séduit immédiatement, au point de devenir son seul objectif pendant plusieurs années : il veut rejoindre cette unité au Canada. Il apprend l'anglais, perd 12 kilos, se prépare physiquement, part travailler au Canada pour baigner dans la culture et être au plus prêt des centres de recrutement.Les efforts paient, il est recruté, et c'est le début de l'aventure. Et quelle aventure... Imaginez une seule seconde être largué à 400m du sol avec tout son matériel pour aller combattre pendant plusieurs jours des feux qui couvrent déjà plusieurs hectares, au milieu d'un territoire grand comme 1,5x la France ! Hallucinant !Un récit qui nous montre bien, une fois de plus, que rien n'est impossible pour celles et ceux qui s'en donnent les moyens. Un immense merci Anthony pour cette belle leçon d'humilité !Vous pouvez suivre Anthony  ici ⬇️

Wildland firefighters are a unique bunch... Especially when it comes to the culture, and how we interact with "outsiders", our mission, and with each other...That's why we have Matt Carroll and Jody Jahn on the show today to talk, more in depth, about the "Deep Dive" project by the USFS and how it can reveal some insights about why we make the decisions that we do...About Matt: "Matt Carroll works as an Organizational Learning Ambassador with the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station's Office of Innovation and Organizational Learning (IOL). His focus is on piloting forward-looking learning projects in and beyond the physical safety realm using the practices and philosophies developed in the Facilitated Learning Analysis (FLA) process. Currently he is imbedded with the Forest Service's Work Environment and Performance Office (WEPO) to build capacity for learning in the anti-harassment program.Prior to his role as a Learning Ambassador, he worked for three years at Acadia National Park as the Interagency Zone, Assistant Fire Management Officer (AFMO) for the North Country Interagency Fire Program, responsible for the 37 U.S. Fish and Wildlife and 22 National Park units within the 6 New England states.Over half of Matt's career was spent as a primary wildland firefighter. He began in 2000 working on the Baker River Interagency Hotshot Crew out of western Washington. He then spent 11 years as a Smokejumper with the McCall Smokejumpers based out of Idaho. Concurrent with his time as a firefighter he took on a number of detail assignments including to the Wilderness and Wild and Scenic Rivers program at the Washington Office, as the R4 Fire and Aviation Management Diversity Outreach and Recruitment Coordinator (FAMDORC), on an R5 team developing a region-wide assessment to inform forest level plan revisions, and with the Forest Service's International Program (IP) in Brazil andPeru to develop methods and curricula for teaching wildland fire suppression and chainsaw safety to a wide range of local actors including settlers, indigenous communities and ranchers.Matt's academic background is a mix of biophysical and social science at community centered schools with interdisciplinary curricula including an Associate's degree from Paul Smith's College, a Bachelor of Arts from College of the Atlantic and a Master's of Forestry from Yale's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies."About Jody Jahn (Researcher, CU Boulder): " Jody Jahn, PhD: Jody is an associate professor of Organizational Communication at University of Colorado Boulder. Her research looks at how wildland firefighters learn about hazards through integrating codified knowledge (e.g., 10 & 18, safety documents) with their embodied experience. This research program builds from 8 seasons of wildland firefighting and two seasons of work in Antarctica.Both of these folks are some heavy hitters on why we make the decisions that we do on the line... And they are determined to make it a safer, more efficient, and more inclusive environment for future generations of wildland firefighters.To participate in the "Deep Dive" project, check out the following link:USFS Deep Dive ProjectTo get ahold of Matt Carroll, check out this link if you have any questions:Matt Carroll, USFSYou know the drill...Stay safe, stay savage...Enjoy!------------------The Anchor Point Podcast is supported by the following wonderful folks...Mystery RanchNeed badass packs?

Let me start off by saying I am thankful we have men like Jason A. Ramos. Jason is a Smokejumper and firefighter. What is a Smokejumper you ask? They are America's most select elite airborne firefighters tasked with putting out fires before they are out of control They are the first line of defense. These men are willing to risk their lives to battle these deadly infernos. The only caveat is they do not arrive to the scene in a bright red firetruck, they halo into the fire! Smokejumpers fight fires in the most remote and rugged terrain all over the U.S. I hope that this episode was able to describe a portion of bravery these men display on a daily basis. When Jason was told, he was too small and weak to become a Smokejumper, he did not buckle or walk away from his dream. Learn how to fought to become one of America's most elite! Jason is the author of "Smokejumper A Memoir By One Of America's Most Select Airborne Firefighters." He is an advocate the first responders and has been on the TedX stage sharing his experiences. This podcast will highlight the remarkable story of my friend Jason Ramos and his will to overcome life's challenges. I am proud to share this space with Jason, please listen to the episode and share your comments with us. It is not everyday that we get a glimpse into the lives of the men and women in uniform. From me to you, thank you my brother! Please check out the #Take10Movement and become get involved in changing lives! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brock-m-bevell/support

Firestorm, which is essentially Die Hard set amidst a forest fire, is as bad as you'd expect a movie that stars an ex-NFL player to be. That said, it's still dumb fun, and it is anchored by another deliciously evil turn from William Forsythe. He plays Shaye—an escaped convict who engineered the fire, so he could reclaim his stashed millions. Unfortunately for him, these are Jesse Graves' woods! Jesse, played as varying degrees of confused by Howie Long, can throw axes super well and knows his way around an inferno. Thus, there is only one possible way for their showdown to end—with Shaye's head melted by the smoldering heat. No, seriously, that happens. The lunacy of this film's premise is probably why it tanked financially. It grossed just $8.16 million on a budget of $30 million. Critics took a torch to it, too. With 26 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, it sits at 12%. I mean, this isn't high art, but it feels wrong to burn poor Howie like that. Anyway, sit back, inhale a few Ax Man Doubled Bladed IPAs from Surly Brewing, and hurl a chainsaw at a moving car! I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Capt. Cash, and Chumpzilla are smoke-jumping into the blaze to bring down some convicts posing as Canadians! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Any firefighter knows that fire moves faster going uphill, and going up a hill in a fire is a good way to get trapped! (00:00) Lingering Questions – After a word from our brothers in beer at Hop Nation USA, we debate who would've been the better action star: The Boz or Howie Long. (37:26) The "Fight Fire with Fire" Trivia Challenge – The Double Turn Podcast wins an Inferno Match, and then I challenge the field to trivia about the movie. (55:30) Recommendations – We offer our picks for the week and next up: We continue "Hops and B-List Action Star Flops" with the unforgettable Van Damme and Rodman film, Double Team! (1:05:53) And, as always, hit us up on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram to check out all the interesting factoids—the insanity of Forsythe's fiery death and more—from this week's episode!

If you haven't seen the new "fire" movie, "Two Yellow Lines" - You need to stop what you're doing, and watch it...This isn't necessarily a "fire" movie in the context of actual "firefighting", but more along the lines of the inconvenient truths about the mental health components that can be associated with a fire career... The most incredible part of this film? It tells a vivid story of what wildland firefighters experience, without showing a SINGLE scene of "Hollywood-ized hero complex" firefighting...The story revolves around a Smokejumper who was involved with a tragedy fire, the PTSI as a result of the incident, his estranged daughter, and the long journey to recovery and healing.This is why we have the producer, writer, and lead actor, Zac Titus, on the show today to give us the breakdown of the film that is making waves across the fire community!Take a listen to this episode, then watch the film - Or watch the film and then listen to this episode...

How being fathers affected the way America's founding fathers decided what kind of government to form. Also, what it's like to jump from a plane into a remote forest that's on fire. Then, a YouTuber explains how his cooking show managed to take off in the middle of a global pandemic. Additionally, on today's show: specializing in one skill might be counterintuitive to excelling in that skill; why being an American citizen was a right reserved for only a select few when the nation was founded; a woman makes a living cleaning her own house and posting videos of it on YouTube.

Jason A. Ramos has devoted twenty-six years of his life to the fire service. His career began at the age of 17 as a volunteer with the Riverside County Fire Department, then progressed to wildland firefighting in Southern California. Smokejumpers are highly trained wildland firefighters who parachute into remote areas to fight fires. They also can be called upon to assist in search and rescue missions. Smokejumpers are highly specialized and trained professionals who work independently in some of the most difficult terrain imaginable. They remain one of the oldest resources deployed by government agencies today.  Let's Go!!

Still reeling from the loss of three lives, Hannah is a smoke jumper who's perched in a watchtower high above the Montana wilderness. She soon encounters Connor, a skittish boy who's bloodied, traumatized and on the run in the remote forest. As Hannah tries to bring him to safety, she's unaware of the real dangers to follow: two relentless killers hunting Connor, and a fiery blaze consuming everything in its path.FOLLOW USFollow Daniel on Twitter, Instagram, and LetterboxdFollow Shahbaz on Twitter, Instagram, and LetterboxdFollow Anthony on Twitter, Instagram, and LetterboxdFollow The Movie Podcast on Letterboxd, Twitter, Instagram, Discord, and YouTubeANNOUNCEMENTSREVIEWS: Wrath of Man, Without Remorse, Mortal Kombat, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Recaps, Mythic Quest: Everlight, Love and Monsters, Shiva Baby, The Unholy, Godzilla vs Kong, and more are available now on The Movie Podcast feed!WATCH: DANIEL ON CINEMASEEN < TAP TO WATCHTHIS WEEK: Episode 105, Spiral: From The Book of SAW (Maybe), Army of The Dead, MODOK.The Movie Podcast is on a mission to hit 200 Apple Podcast reviews before September, click here to head over to our show page on APPLE PODCASTS and leave us a 5 STAR review!

Good Morning it's Thursday January 14th, and this is The Wenatchee World's podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  Today --- the Wild Wenatchee Swimmers are feeling cold-water benefits Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA. (same message all week)  Also, as the pandemic, civil unrest and dark winter days continue into the new year, Wenatchee Valley residents are reporting more feelings of anxiety, sadness, isolation and discouragement. That's why we at The Wenatchee World and NABUR have organized a free, interactive mental health panel. Join us on Thursday January 21st from 6 to 8pm, and make sure to RSVP at wwrld.us/mentalhealthpanel. The water temperature is 44 degrees. The air temperature is 43. There is snow on the foothills. Five people are walking across a sandbar that juts into the Columbia River off Walla Walla Point Park. Swimmers. It's the first winter dip for two of the swimmers. One of them is Sheila Borden, a 44-year-old Wenatchee woman. Sheila is nervous, she doesn't really like being cold. A big, furry hat tops off her full-body wetsuit.  13 year old Marieka Campbell shivers and says “I'm so cold; I hate doing this but my mom says it's good for you.” The other three are veterans. 50 year old Sarah Applegate, Marieka's mother, heads into a crawl stroke and says - this is awesome. Back in October 70 year old Charlene Woodward started a Facebook group. It's called Wild Wenatchee Swimmers. Right now, membership is at about 45 people with 12 active members. Many of them swim at 11 a.m. every Saturday at the sandbar; while others take dips in the river off Kirby Billingsley Hydro Park and Lincoln Rock State Park during the week. Woodward, after offering encouragement to all, heads right in and starts a 10-minute swim parallel to the beach with another veteran, Kathy Gavin. Woodward grew up as a competitive swimmer and went on to coach and teach swimming. She and her husband own Dogwise, a mail-order bookseller and publisher of books on dogs.  She says that this is ridiculous that we are doing this, but, for her, it's something to do during the pandemic that is safe. They wear masks until they get to the river and they don't get close together. Woodward has read about the health benefits of cold-water swimming and feels she experiences them. Afterwards she feels energized, and it lasts pretty well all day. Her tip for beginners? Stay in for less time than you think you can. This is not an endurance contest; it's not a macho thing. Get out and dry off and warm up as soon as possible.   And stick with it. She said she's 70 and she hopes that she's doing this until she's 90. Kelly Anderson, another regular swimmer, always wanted to try a polar bear plunge but kept chickening out. Anderson describes herself as a person who hates cold water - so to her, this felt like a big personal challenge. When a friend showed her the Wild Wenatchee Swimmers Facebook page, she was intrigued. And when she showed up in the parking lot for her first swim, she felt super-supported by these strangers! Anderson is a cancer survivor and also suffers from nerve problems, a bad back and chronic depression. After about a week with the Wild Wenatchee Swimmers, she said that she was down to 70% reduced pain in my back, hips and neck. Then, she started having pain-free days. She even texted a friend and said she just felt so happy for no apparent reason, and can only say that's the swimming! Now, Few are brave enough to fly 10,000 feet in the air, and parachute jump out into an unknown forest only to touch land and fight a raging forest fire.  For longtime Wenatchee resident and author Gene Jessup, it was just another day on the job. Jessup was a smokejumper for the North Cascades Smokejumper Base in the late 1950s and ‘60s.  A smokejumper is a trained firefighter who provides rapid fire response by parachuting to the source of the fire, usually in the high mountains. Now at age 82, he reminisces on the adventures, dangers and camaraderie of the job in his new book, “Between Heaven and Earth: The Adventures of a Smokejumper.”  The book is available online at Barnes and Noble and Amazon - there's also a Kindle edition. The Wenatchee World spoke to Jessup about the occupation, having his brother as a jump partner and his novel. When we asked what a jump feels like and he said that since smokejumping training is so extensive at a certain point, after two or three weeks, everything starts to become automatic. You climb in the airplane, you go up for your first jump, you're sitting at the doorway, and you're looking out at the horizon and you're almost numb. You can't remember what day it is or what you had for breakfast or anything else. When the slap on the back comes, you just automatically step right out of the airplane. In a few seconds you're hanging in the air wondering. ‘How the hell in the world did I get here?' Then, when you land after that first jump, you say, ‘Aw man, that was the greatest thrill in the world. I can't wait to do this again.' We also asked Jessup about the camaraderie amongst him and other smokejumpers. He told us that they're very, very close with. His brother was his jump partner in ‘59 and ‘60 and that created a very special bond between them. To read our full interview with Jessup, visit us at wenatcheeworld.com. Visit wenatcheeworld.com/nabur The Tyee creek fire was one of the largest fires in North Central Washington. In July and August of 1994 it burned for 33 days and it destroyed 35 homes.  Thanks for listening. Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success.

Martha Schoppe is a smokejumper, one of a select group of firefighters that parachute to the location of the wildfires they're tasked with controlling. Out of the 400 smokejumpers across the country, only nine are female. Martha joins Payson to talk about the extreme physical and mental demands of her work, much of which takes place before they even reach the fire. From sewing their own gear to jumping from 3,000 feet into perilous terrain to hiking with 140 pound packs in all kinds of weather, smokejumpers have earned their reputation as being one of the most specialized and experienced tiers of firefighters. Martha talks about some of her most uncomfortable landings, why fighting fires in Alaska can sometimes be extremely wet, and the physical stamina required to work for 18 hours at a time on a fire that lasts for weeks. She also talks about some of the common misconceptions about wildfires, and what it was like leading an inmate crew. In the six months of the year that Martha isn't smokejumping, she's pursuing other types of physical extremes. Not only is she a competitive CrossFit athlete, but she also runs 300+ mile ultramarathons (sometimes while pulling a sled in negative degree temperatures), ice climbs, and does Jiu Jitsu. In spite of all of this, however, her greatest claim to fame may be her multiple trophies in arm wrestling. She and Payson talk about all of this and more in this episode of The Adventure Stache.

My guest today is Jason Ramos, a firefighter currently in his 30th season. He spent over half that time as an air-delivered firefighter.

Gary Atteberry has been around the block...He has been all the way from surf bum, Hotshot, rookie jumper, to operations manager for the Redmond Smokejumpers. He's got a lot of story to tell, and encountered some tragedy along the way...This is the story of the life of one firefighter, cardboard flip flops, camaraderie, PTSD, and life after tragedy... More importantly, this is the story of overcoming of adversity...We also go into what he does now at the coordination center, and how the chess pieces (resources) get moved around the GACCs and a little insight on what it takes to be a  Smokejumper!Hope that the message that he sends sticks with the people that are seeking help out there, because help is available...Here is a list of some resources below...

Jason Ramos is a Smokejumper, author and innovator. We discuss his journey into one of the most elite wildland firefighting teams, line of duty deaths, fire shelters, the triple nickels, striving for excellence and much more.

Relationships are tough enough as it is to maintain successfully. With wildland firefighters, factors like unpredictable work schedules, absences, and communication challenges due to remote work environments can complicate matters even more. And yet, beside many firefighters stand strong, resilient partners who are able to successfully navigate these challenges. Smokejumper wives Korey Wolferman and Tobi Kearns join the podcast to talk about what life is like for “the other half.”     This podcast was made possible in part through support from the U. S. Forest Service and the University of Montana. The University of Montana is an equal opportunity provider. 

This week we put veteran smokejumper, Jason Ramos in the hot seat and find out what it takes to be part of wildland firefighting's most elite unit. 

As a Smoke Jumper, Roosa parachuted into at least four active fires in Oregon and California during the 1953 fire season.

During the summer of 2018, the western United States and Canada entered what had previously been an ‘unprecedented’ wildfire season.  Walls of flame threatened environments from urban neighborhoods to national parks in fires burning more intensely than we’ve seen in this lifetime. And a generations-old debate rages on: can and should humans be doing more to manage these wildfires before they get started AND while they burn?  Or should we decide that 100+ years of fire suppression has led us down the wrong path, and it’s time to get out of the way of a natural process? As with anything this complicated, no one side is ever 100% wrong, so we had to take a closer look. This conversation is not one about the details of firefighting, logging, or forest conservation efforts.  It’s about entire ecosystems and community vitality - and how fires have a dynamic impact on both. Wildfires put economic security - and even human lives - on the line, so it’s no surprise perspectives on how to manage and control them evoke strong emotions.  But, as with all Interchange panel discussions, we focused on bringing balanced and informed perspectives to the table. We hope you’ll learn something new, or have an opportunity to listen deeper on this challenging and sensitive topic.  

Veteran Smokejumper and Interchange X-Change Panelist, Paul Chamberlin sat down with his nephew, Tate Chamberlin. His 25 years of service in an age of evolving science gives Paul a unique view on if forest fires can be managed. As Tate searches for the answer, he discovers how it feels when a noble idea stops being noble in hind site. Why we must adapt to new discoveries despite how it may contradict our pre-existing beliefs. And, how everything, including a devastating forest fire, can be both useful and "good". This while exploring his uncle’s fears, his place in the brotherhood of Smokejumpers, and his view on Climate Change Deniers. Photo by: Ben Johnson

What's more manly than walking into a raging forrest fire to protect homes and nature? Not much. Tonight we bring on Chris Delaney, a 23 year Wildland Firefighter veteran, to discuss what it means to be a "Hot Shot" or a "Smoke Jumper"

In this episode, Texas-based freelance writer Rachel Monroe talks about her Bleacher Report piece, "The Life of a Smoke Jumper." Rachel goes into detail explaining how she reported and wrote the piece.  “Maybe we don’t all talk about how often we face rejection, even people who have careers that seem pretty solid. Pitches get rejected, editors don’t reply to emails, stories get written and killed, all of this happens all the time to everybody.” Rachel has written for The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Outside Magazine and a slew of other places.

The final episode of this season of Horizon Line features a collection of tales from Rod Dow, who spent 32 years working as a smokejumper––a parachuting wilderness firefighter. At the time of his retirement in 1999, Rod had jumped into more fires than anyone else. He is the author of Just a Few Jumper stories, a book of 70 true stories from his smokejumping days, available on Amazon.  Horizon Line is hosted by Ella Morton and Dylan Thuras and produced by Grant Irving. Music by Nolan Schneider. Additional production for this week's episode from Hana Glasser and Rose Annis. A very special thank you to Rod Dow. 

Rod and Justin (episode 99) met years ago fighting forest fires. Justin and I drove up to Rod's amazing spread east of Mount Rainier and spent a night in Paradise. As you'll see in the photos below, Rod's building skills are equal to his firefighting abilities. He's a tough, smart, open-hearted, humble man who'll no-doubt be embarrassed at being called "legendary," but everyone else says that's the word for him. Get a copy of Rod's book!

On episode 8 of the Punk Rock Pariah Podcast, Grendel is joined by KII, who has played in bands like Smokejumper, Dateless, Alabaster, and the Glasses. KII is also the founder of such local record labels as Double Dos and Better Half Records. The two discuss KII's musical history, the state of the punk rock scene, and play some gnarly tuneage. In true PRP style, listen to see if he reveals whether he is being sued by K2 Sports for Trademark infringement!

Grendel is back with another punk rock podcast, this time with a very special guest...Chris Crusher of Smokejumper / Better Half Records. We sat around and shot the shit, spun some jams, and Chris played a bunch of live acoustic songs. There were a few technical dificulties in the recording process, but all we lost were a couple of songs in the middle and the very end of the program...all of Chris' live songs are here intact. And this technically would have been Episode 3, but Episode 2 needed some serious editing so it will have to show up at another time. Don't just believe the hype, find out the awesome for yourself...Listen to "Punk Rock Pariah with Grendel: Episode 2 - Chris Crusher of Smokejumper" RIGHT NOW!
