Mohawks. Its that time again. Only got five people to get trimmed up this year. Down five from last season. I didn't participate so I can't complain.

The first week as a Gila Hotshot is always the same. Day one - refresher training. Day two - Pack test then 7 miles of power hiking. Rest of the week is more refresher training.

On a side note I hiked a chain saw on the power hike this year. I'm not on the saw team but they did open a firefighter type 1 task book.
