Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying them!

One of my favorite indie games, very short but very captivating and entertaining

Great game

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Morbius is the movie

Great game

I think there's usually a long waiting list

good luck finding a chance to even interview lol

@@tobyjohnson6722 nope there's not firemen and such are needed desperately in these times he can actually get a job in it

@@Phiery Demand for fire fighters and lookouts are not the same. Are you sure you have knowledge of the latter?

@@csn583 damn you got me but that's one good way to get your foot in the door

Sounds like he had quite the experience, that's awesome. Thanks for watching.

Your grandpa was born in a fire tower?

Thank you! And no, I did not know that, thanks for sharing!

lol

Hello supreme leader

Just buy through a pro communist proxy

Glad I could help! They're such an interesting piece of US conservation history!

Sounds like a blast, have fun!

The aircraft, although I cant tell what specifically, is most likely an Auto gyro. Auto gyros are very unique, albeit very real. Regular airplane uses large wing to generate lift. Auto gyro uses rotor blades to generate lift like a helicopter, but unlike a helicopter, its rotor blades are unpowered, not connected to the engine. The rotor spins freely by simply having some airflow over it. You can see that the engine of the plane is located at the front with the propeller. It would be very unfeasible by design to have that engine power the rotor blade directly above the pilot's right. The supporting tripod rod are simply there to hold up the rotor. You can also see the wing is very thin and short in comparison to say WW2 fighter planes which often have large wide wing. While those small wings can generate some lift, the rotor blade is the largest source of lift. The wings are most likely present to stabilize the plane instead. In addition, its hard to "crash" auto gyros. In event of an engine failure, normally planes would fall out of the sky, but because the auto gyro helicopter rotor blade spins as air flows through it, falling faster would simply mean the rotor would spin faster. If the rotor spins fast, it would generate lift. As such, auto gyro would fall at a slow velocity where you could land safely. Auto gyro enjoyed a brief time of small popularity before being overshadowed by advancing jet engine technology and better powered helicopters couple decades after WW2. It is still used today largely by flying enthusiasts. Its cheap to build (literally a free-spinning rotor blade with a small engine and a propeller at front/back) and safer to use.

@@akyer8085 Sounds interesting but light planes definitely dont just drop out of the sky upon engine failure. When a plane loses its engine, most of the time the pilot can glide it down pretty well. Some planes like gliders dont even have an engine, and instead use air currents to glide for hours at a time.

@@andrewanderson8803 That is true. However, Auto gyro requires a shorter runway to take off and land - the faster the Auto gyro goes, the faster the rotor spins, and thus the more lift it generates. This means Auto Gyro can fly at a much slower velocity, making it significantly safer. But the degree of additional safety this makes is not huge - it would be treated more like a small bonus instead of a significant reason to choose Auto Gyro over light/ultralight planes. As I lightly mentioned before, there is a pretty good reason why Auto Gyro isn't as popular as light planes nowadays. Some even favored ultralight planes over Auto gyros, and I can't disagree.

Wiki search revealed that James Ketchell (UK) circumnavigated the globe in 2019 in an autogyro. Also, they seem to be popular for air touring vacation sites, mostly solo. See Gyrocopter Girl on KZfaq.

What an experience! I bet that was incredible!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not planning on stopping, thanks for being here!

@@NationalParkDiaries Thanks a lot for your work, it's always a treat for me to tune a video of yours on the side when I'm doing something else Love the channel name and the topics it covers 👍🏻

@@SanilJadhav711 thanks so much Sanil!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

I always appreciate when these pieces of our conservation history are preserved like that. It's a great way to interpret the history of structures that were/are so important to the American West.

Thanks Kyle! That was one of my earlier videos and I have since started incorporating background music. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! It's been getting a bit more attention here recently so that's exciting!

I'm sure that was an incredible experience for her!

Did your family build it since it was on their property?

Very cool story, thanks for sharing. I bet your grandmother had some great stories as well!

Thanks for watching!

Glad I could help!

Thanks for watching! I always like coming across these when I'm out exploring as well. There's one in my local state forest that I like hiking to.

Thank you!

They're incredible pieces of conservation history. So cool!

Thanks for being here!

@@NationalParkDiaries thanks for putting out the info

They're a really fascinating and beautiful part of our conservation heritage. There are still some you can climb/visit!

That's awesome.

It's sad that it burned down in 2011.

Thank you!

Heading there in September and planning a video while I'm there!

Incredible. These are such great reminders of our conservation history. I love learning about them and hearing everyone's stories from them.

🙌🙌🙌

Not super knowledgeable on that subject, but this thread seems to be a good starting point if you're interested in lookout jobs: www.reddit.com/r/firelookouts/comments/aou1m3/want_to_get_a_fire_lookout_job_here_are_the_basics/ Best of luck!

@@NationalParkDiaries thankyou!

@@bomberbeast4957 its very difficult to get a position but good luck

Haven't played it yet. Maybe I'll get to it someday lol

Definitely. Too bad I don't have a motorcycle to go with it.

By the way, a firefinder determines a bearing, not a heading. Heading is the direction a ship or airplane is pointing; bearing is the direction to a thing you're looking at. A bearing can be absolute (direction as compared to north) or relative (direction compared to your current heading, like "twelve degrees port" or "ten o'clock"), but relative bearings generally don't make sense in the context of a fixed structure. (There's also course, the actual direction your vessel is moving, which is rarely exactly the same as heading because of the movement of wind and water.)

Hey there! That was in reference to fire suppression efforts on public lands over the last century or so. We now know that some landscapes are adapted to fire or have historically been managed with it, and complete fire suppression leads to a dangerous buildup of fuels that contribute to our current wildfires being incredible large and destructive. Through practices like prescribed burning, where we intentionally set fires to manage landscapes, we can reduce our reliance on complete fire suppression as a fire management tactic. Thanks for your question!

@@NationalParkDiaries oh, okay, thank you! I watched your "how we put out wildfires on public lands" video and that also helped a lot.

@@terrortalks3037 No problem, thanks for watching!

Bummer! Best of luck next time!

Not so fun fact, when my grandma was a fire lookout ,the forest service barely paid her enough to cover the gas money it took her to drive up to the fire tower.
