Re: Vid of the Day
A Day in the Life of a Fire Lookout.
From the poster, Gary Yost:
The video documents the (usually) very peaceful life of a fire lookout in the Gardner Lookout on the East Peak of Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, California. I've been a Marin County Fire Department volunteer lookout for two years and deeply love the mountain and the peace it brings to us here in the Bay Area. Perhaps this 6-minute video will convey some of the emotions I feel when sitting (and sleeping) on her peak.

Re: Vid of the Day
Very nice .. Obviously some beautiful background. I really enjoyed the night with the planes coming in. Have you been to that lookout post?? And is that something that is done 24/7/365. Funny you posted something about fires. This is in Nashville and my brother is the one on the hose when they pull up and then he is the on the right at the end when they are finishing up. I have no idea but he said he was kinda pissed at the beginning because the guy sent pressure to the hose before he was set up ??? Anyways ... my little brother.
God bless the past and present men and women in uniform.

These are best if you click full screen so I will just give the links. I also provided some of the links the guy talks about. And I would recommend selecting HD

Re: Vid of the Day
Anybody seen Nightstalker in a while? I saw him watching Swanny's short video and then heard him say "Hey, watch this!" Haven't seen him since.......

LOLOL .. Well .. Some of my defects may have been prevented if I had watched that video a few years ago. I will say, my folical defect is legit and not a result of a bbq'd head.

Thanks for that Swanny. Checking in and out of the forums I had postponed settling in to watch them all. Glad I did so this morning. Fascinating.Swanny-CG wrote:The Feynman Series
