About to start my first season as a wild land firefighter on a type II handcrew. Anyone got any pointers or things you wish someone told you before you started your first season? I don't really know what to expect besides a lot of hiking, training, cutting/digging stuff. Anyways, I already bought brand new pair of whites and have been wearing them daily for more than a month now, few hikes with them too, pretty broken in I'd say. Running as much as I can every week mainly trail runs (3-5 miles per run, 3 times a week), completely stopped doing weights and instead have been focusing on body weight excersizes (push-up/pull up/dips/core stuff). Besides that I'm not sure what else I should be doing besides getting in better shape and studying up on 10's/18's.

Yea I have been hiking with weight... bought a normal hiking pack and it ripped with barely 40lbs in it... Now i'm using my old army one and it does the job. Season starts in about a month. Boots are feelin great, will definitely start greasin them after every hike. Will stock up on baby wipes, that one's a given.
