Today was my first day of training for wildland firefighting. It was fun, the instructor is awesome and i like watching the videos of forest fires and the "Kodak Moments" when the fire is raging and theres nothing to do but take pictures.
I also bought my boots, 405 dollars ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) I've never wore boots so high in my life so i am sure my shin will be hurting tomorrow but other than that they fit nice. I got the White's Smokejumpers boots.
I bought 90lbs of sand and i am going to put 5lbs in ziplock bags and start hiking around with 25lbs on my back until i can do 60+lbs. i think just walking around our property should be a good workout. I need to get in cardio shape for my pack test. Its a 3 mile hike with a 45lb pack on your back and you have to do it in less than 45 minutes. Sounds interesting.

Congrats man!
Good luck training on those hikes with the equipment. Three miles with 60 lbs HIKING in 45 minutes is a tough task no joke.
