Stuart is a photojournalist out of Southern California who specializes in long exposure photography of wildfires at night, and they are epic. He started on the "Terra Flamma" project in 2012. It took about 5 years and over 100 wildfires to just complete this epic photo journal project...

The Side Hustle w/ Adam Tinker
Lets face it, we are a talented pool of craftsmen and craftswomen that are out there in the field. Our talents and skills make us valuable, not only in the realm of fire, but far far beyond - Adam and I came to the same conclusion:
PUT THOSE SKILLS TO WORK!
Today on the show, Adam and I talk about starting your own business and the importance of a "side hustle" - Not only for some additional income, but for the fact that doing something you love in the off season may just save your sanity!
Adam Tinker is a second generation firefighter. His father is a salty OG Del Rosa Hotshot, so naturally Adam got into fire as well... Adam has spent a few years on Big Bear Hotshots, a few years on helitack, a few years on an engine, and a couple of details with dispatch. He's also one hell of a mentor, and has served as cadre at both the local and regional level.
He is a firm believer that mentorship and leadership will teach far more than you can ever give on the line...
He started Palmleaf Leather as a side hustle in 2016 shortly after getting married, and the business has flourished... He makes some kick ass leather stuff like belts, koozies, and knife sheathes - Be sure to give him a follow and check out his stuff!
Palmleaf Leather can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/palmleafleather/

PTSD, Cardboard Flip Flops, and Coordination Centers w/ Gary Atteberry
Gary Atteberry has been around the block...
He has been all the way from surf bum, Hotshot, rookie jumper, to operations manager for the Redmond Smokejumpers. He's got a lot of story to tell, and encountered some tragedy along the way...
This is the story of the life of one firefighter, cardboard flip flops, camaraderie, PTSD, and life after tragedy... More importantly, this is the story of overcoming of adversity...
We also go into what he does now at the coordination center, and how the chess pieces (resources) get moved around the GACCs and a little insight on what it takes to be a Smokejumper!
Hope that the message that he sends sticks with the people that are seeking help out there, because help is available...
Here is a list of some resources below... Just remember, if they can't help you directly, they can definitely point you in the right direction...
