The Anchor Point Podcast

Welcome to the The Anchor Point Podcast, episode 117 with Jay Walker, a wildland firefighter from Wells, NV. Jay has served on multiple wildland firefighting crews, including Ruby Mountain Hotshots, Jackson Hotshots, and Elko District Engine Modules. He is currently the acting superintendent of Ely Helitack, based out of Panaca, Nevada.  

In 2020, Jay experienced a severe rollover accident in a UTV resulting in the loss of his hand. After multiple surgeries, hardships, and financial challenges, he experienced something arguably worse than the pain of the accident itself - the mental health challenges. 

In this episode, we dive into Jay's personal journey to discovering a distinct approach to prioritizing his mental health and recovery. It is an incredibly uplifting account that highlights his unwavering determination, how he overcame his demons, and his desire to support others in their own paths. Jay serves as a true inspiration and the epitome of the indomitable human will. His enthusiasm for fire remains undiminished, and he continues his firefighting endeavors using a unique set of prosthetics despite the unfortunate loss of his hand.

The Anchor Point Podcast Episode 116 with, Grant Beebe, Assistant Director of BLM Fire and Aviation. On today's episode we will be discussing Wildland Firefighter Pay Parity, Classification, Mental Health Issues, and much more...

The wildland firefighting workforce is currently facing a number of challenges, and these issues are the focus of The Anchor Point Podcast Episode 116. The guest on the show today is Grant Beebe, Assistant Director of BLM Fire and Aviation, and the conversation centers around current concerns regarding wildland firefighter pay parity, classification, and mental health issues.

One of the primary issues facing wildland firefighters is pay and retention. With the expiration of the BIL pay and benefits supplement in October, many fear that they will be back to the pay schedules and rates that existed before the work of the Grassroots Wildland Firefighters and NFFE. Grant acknowledges the uncertainty and discusses the potential personnel crisis that could result from a lack of equitable pay, benefits, and classification.

Beebe believes that pay parity is crucial for the men and women who are the boots on the ground. In his opinion, an equitable pay rate needs to be established, and there should be efforts to retain personnel who are vital to the day-to-day operations of wildland fire ops, including dispatchers, WG, militia, logistics, and secondary fire personnel.

Beebe explains that there are plans to address these issues, including temp buyback, insurance and benefits, and classification. However, the question of how to fix these problems remains. Beebe suggests that it may require legislative action.

Another issue affecting the wildland firefighting workforce is mental health. Beebe acknowledges that there is a mental health crisis within the ranks and discusses efforts to address the issue. He notes that the BIL provided funding for the development and improvement of mental health programs across all agencies. Beebe discusses some of the programs that are being improved with this funding and notes that there are other mental health programs on the horizon.

Beebe also discusses operational changes and concerns, including aviation, fuels, and hiring. He discusses the BLM aviation programs and how they plan to bolster fuels programs without overburdening fire employees who have already worked 1000 hour seasons. Grant also discusses transparency and honesty with hiring.

DISCLAIMER:

For the topics discussed today: I want to make it absolutely clear that I disagree with some of the things said by Grant in this episode - And I do agree with some of the stuff he says as well.

However I will say this: Grant, we're all looking up to you in the Bureau of Land Management. We hope that you have those difficult conversations and listen to the boots on the ground - Because those are the people that have the most skin in the game, and you have the position and power to bridge the gap to do what's right by them.

I hope that this is of value and I hope that everyone out there gets to understand Grant from his position and his perspective...

Welcome to The Anchor Point Podcast episode 115 with: Lucas Garrett, founder of Landsharks Running Company. 

In this episode, Lucas shares some important running tips and tricks, such as proper recovery, the importance of sleep, why supplements and PEDs are dumb, and how to become an overall better runner...

Lucas was a football player who wanted to learn how to run faster, but he was told he didn't need to learn to run because he was an offensive lineman. Despite this, Lucas was determined to prove them wrong. He lost 60 pounds, joined his junior college track team, and ran the 1500 and 800. After junior college, he started competing in triathlons and working on all three disciplines.

Lucas' passion for running grew as he discovered that he could compete and loved learning new things about the sport. He earned his Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and went into the fire service, working up and down the state of California, eventually landing his dream job at the Lodi Fire Department.

But Lucas still wanted something more, so he began reading books by top running experts like Jack Daniels, Matt Fitzgerald, Ben Bergeron, Alex Hutchinson, Brad Hudson, Timothy Galley, Steve Magness, and Ryan Hall. It was a podcast episode with Ryan Hall that ignited a fire in Lucas to become a marathoner and running coach.

Join us in this episode to learn more about Lucas' journey and how he founded Landsharks Running Company to help others achieve their running goals. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, Lucas' story will inspire you to never give up, and to make it through the fire season un-injured and an overall better runner!

Welcome to another episode of The Anchor Point Podcast! In today's episode, we have special guest, Anthony Powers, a former hotshot hailing from Southern California. He has risen through the ranks to become a Captain with the Forest Service, and is now serving as a firefighter for the city of Burbank, CA. Anthony is also the President of the non-profit organization, Hotshot Up, which is dedicated to supporting firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Join us as we delve into Anthony's remarkable journey of service and learn more about Hotshot Up's mission and impact.

Anthony Powers is a true Southern California native, born and raised in the region. His passion for firefighting started early on, and he pursued it with unwavering determination. Anthony's career spans across the Angeles National Forest, where he honed his firefighting expertise, and now he serves as a firefighter for the city of Burbank, CA, a role he took on in 2020.

In addition to his role as a firefighter, Anthony is also the President of Hotshot Up, a non-profit organization with a noble mission. Hotshot Up is dedicated to supporting firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty, particularly those who have fallen while battling wildfires. The organization was officially established as a non-profit in December 2020, but its roots trace back to 2017 when it was founded as the Dalton Hotshots.

Hotshot Up's mission is to provide support, assistance, and resources to the families and loved ones of fallen firefighters. They aim to offer financial and practical support during the difficult times following the loss of a firefighter in the line of duty. The organization understands the unique challenges faced by the firefighting community and seeks to alleviate some of the burdens through their programs and initiatives.

Anthony is grateful for the unwavering support of his family and everyone who believes in Hotshot Up's mission. He acknowledges the contributions of his team and partners who have worked tirelessly to make a positive difference in the lives of fallen firefighters' families. Their combined efforts and dedication have made Hotshot Up a formidable force in supporting the firefighting community.

Anthony's journey from being a So Cal hotshot to becoming a firefighter and President of Hotshot Up is pretty rad. His passion for firefighting and commitment to serving the public and the fire community is commendable. Hotshot Up's mission to support families who have experienced the tragedy of an LODD is making a meaningful impact, and Anthony is grateful for the support he has received.

Full disclaimer, this episode is pretty NSFW (Not Safe For Work)!

Lets be honest with ourselves for a hot second - The topic of sex is pretty taboo...

Many folks out there tend to shy around the subject, and even worse: They don't communicate to their partners about the subject. This can cause problems in the bedroom, which can cause other issues within the relationship... And being in a relationship with a Wildland Firefighter - or, being a Wildland Firefighter in a relationship - Can be difficult at times... (especially with the lack of communication and no cell phone service)

That's why we have Associate Family and Marriage Therapist, Destiny Morris, on the show to have an honest, candid, and "life pro-tip" conversation about healthy relationships and a healthy sex life...

Here's a little more about Destiny:

"Destiny Morris is an associate marriage and family therapist who specializes in first responders and their families!

In this podcast we will be discussing sex and first responder relationships- the common struggles as well as tips and tricks to keep the fire alive. Destiny has a remote private practice in Santa Barbara, California, and can see anyone in the state of California."

Destiny is one rad therapist, and an advocate for healthy relationships in the first responder community... If you want to find out more about her, or get a visit with her practice - Check out the following links:

Instagram - On_Being_Resilient

Psychology Today - Destiny Morris

I know we primarily talk about male/female relationships in this episode... But, the things we talk about are genuinely universal in nature - no matter what love looks like for you- I just hope this episode helps you folks (in any kind of relationship, or playing the field) to have a better love life, and hopefully "spice it up" in the bedroom...

Also - Consider taking a look at that book I mentioned...

It's called, "The Adventure Challenge... In Bed" if you're looking to spice it up in the bedroom... Don't worry, its not a "zero-to-kinky shit" kind of book (its pretty tame, actually) - Its more like actually fun (adult) stuff you and your partner can do to better understand each other sexually, and zero in on what gets you and your partner going... (Trust me, its fun)

You know the drill...

Stay safe, stay savage...

Enjoy!

The Eldorado National Forest is in the house, again!

Today on the Anchor Point Podcast: We have the fire "power couple", Kaleena and Matt Lynde, to talk about some of the lesser known career paths in wildland fire, working as a public information officer, fire aviation, and to tell the story of overcoming this shitty thing known as cancer...

Kaleena and Matt Lynde met while at WFTC, and started dating after apprenticeship academy. Kaleena headed to an apprentice position on Shasta Lake Hotshots and Matt went to a squad boss position with Big Hill Helitack.

At the end of that season, Kaleena was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer - Matt took on that battle with her.... Now that they have been together for over 16 years, Kaleena is cancer free and they are still in fire... Working their way through different operational fire and aviation positions.

These folks are the prime example of two people helping make the other person the best version of themselves.
