Wildland and Forestry Firefighters are a whole different breed from Structural Firefighters. Both deserve respect, but these are the reasons why I think they are incredible.
As a wildland firefighter. Thanks dude. I run a chainsaw on a handcrew. You explained it in layman’s terms and it brings awareness to us. The USFS pays us 13 an hour..... just saying. There’s currently a new bill being introduced that increases the wages for us, and benefits packages so we can support our families during the off season. Support is critical! Thanks and stay safe!
****update**** as of 2022 a new budget was approved which raised our hourly pay up to a whopping 15.90 an hour. Any improvement is progress. Now, I’d we could get the federal government to call us “wildland firefighters” instead of “forestry technicians” then we could see some real change in benefits and pay. Thank you all for the kind comments!
my uncle used to be a wildland firefighter. him and his crewmates would chug as much water as possible, to see who would throw up last. this was their only form of entertainment.
They weren't very creative. Was talking to one of the old timers yesterday - they used to use the old MRE cans they got given, fill them with rocks, and toss them out near other guys who were taking a dump. Apparently it sounded just like a rattlesnake.
Yeah it's called the 4/4/40. 4 canteens (quarts) of water in 4 minutes or less and hold it down for 40 seconds. If you don't drink it all or throw up early, you don't complete the challenge.
My man seriously just said: "If you get eaten by a bear, it's not workman's comp." I'm laughing so hard that the dude in the toilet stall next to me is scared for his safety. Lmao
My personal records as an all-risk firefighter in California are 43 days without going home, and a 7.5-mile hike from where we parked the engine to our line assignment.
Not to mention we dont wear ventilators and we get paid much less than structure firefighters. Most of us have to purchase private health insurance and the camp food is terrible. Either way, props for the shout out!!
The nutrition is at least for me the largest issue. To perform hand crew duties on what’s given food wise is a joke. Would love an actual push towards getting quality meat and things that aren’t all soy and carbohydrate based, where I can actually feel like I’m thriving out there instead of downing a rice crispy treat and wishing someone in the federal government actually cared about my gut health and insulin sensitivity.
My last fire was about 5 years ago but we always had pretty decent catering on federal fires then being out of california on state fires ,calfire had the inmate catering and that usually was a little better
@@adam7474 Cal Fire fires are jam packed with food, in addition to their giant 5 lb lunches. It's hit and miss on fed fires...either it's alright, or it's atrocious...Cal Fire is like Christmas morning every time you line up for chow
I’m from Australia and at the start of the year when we were on fire, 83% of the people fight those fires were volunteers, now thats a whole new level.. btw we are very grateful from the assistance from America and Canada
One of my captains said that he will fight structure fires all day, but wildland fires are something he will not do. Is reasoning is that you can get outside on a structure fire and then you're mostly bsafe, but in wildland fires you're already outside and the fire is coming to get you
@@jeremiahclipp haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet, but probably next year when I'm done with medic school. There's definitely a sense of camaraderie in doing the dangerous or impossible together
@@jeremiahclipp hey man. I live on hood and after these recent fires. I'm sure you're out there working. Just wanted to say thanks and I sent emails out today asking to come volunteer on the line
My cousin was a volunteer firefighter in Nebraska. He got trapped in a cornfield fire. He died multiple times on the table, ran up 6 million in medical costs, ended up with burn scars over most of his body. He is alive and amazing. Wildfires move insanely fast and are very tough to fight. Nothing but the highest respect for the people that do this job.
6 million in medical bills... I highly doubt that since the insurance wouldnt have covered any of that which makes him liable for it all. The Hospital wouldnt have treated him.
@@inceneration my friend got run over on his motorcycle. messed him up badly. he was life-flighted to BAMC (military medical hospital in san antonio, tx). he ended up with a million dollar medical bill. he told me, "it just went away." he was unemployed at the time with no insurance.
@@kimplummer2672 Oh definitely, this kind of thing DOES happen. My father was getting a stint put in but died on the table due to water in his lungs from CHF, so they started to resuscitate him.... except that he had a DNR and they KNEW IT. But why would they do it? Because my mom had been trying to get there on time to go see him when he came out of surgery, except the front desk gave her the wrong directions and the hospital got her completely lost for at least a half an hour before finally getting to him. The hospital was so fucking embarrassed... we never had to pay for anything. Not even cremation. Everybody was extremely quiet about it, in hopes that my mom wouldn't get loud or try to sue them.
Thank you for answering a question I've had forever and didn't want to ask. "How do firefighters die while fighting a forest fire? There's so much room to run." *Wildland fires can travel a football field a second* I'm very sorry I had this stupid question but thank you for the facts. So much respect.
I got wildfire training in the 80's. So a lot of my knowledge will be out of date, but back then firefighters would get something that looked like a floor less puptent made out of space blankets. The idea was that if you got trapped you opened that bad boy up, put your hands and feet in the corners and fell forward. If you couldn't break out your fire tent, you were to lie face down on the ground at a low point and let the fire pass over you. When I spoke to experienced firefighters, they said that the safest place to sleep, other than base camp, were the already burned out sections.
At fire school, during the section we practiced using fire shelters, the instructor told us that if we ever planned on using it we should carry a potato in our pack so the recovery team would have something to eat. They are better than nothing but if you have to pull it out you have already screwed up big time. Fire school was a week of reviewing how you can die and what to do avoid it. When I hear about someone dying on a fire, I still run the list of fire orders and see which ones they didn't follow. @@asmith8692
That's true for the highly publicized instances, but most wildland casualties are far more pedestrian. Like urban firefighting, vehicle accidents and heart attacks from over-exertion account for the bulk of the deaths. Beyond the urban interface, however, things like falling trees, chainsaw accidents, falling off cliffs, getting run over by a bulldozer, and aircraft falling from the sky are common causes of serious injury and death.
@@enerioffutt1881 Fire bombers drop their payloads right on fires, and fires make a lot of hot air. Hot air rises, which means there's a lot of air moving around very fast around them, so flying a plane in those conditions is hard on the airframes. That said, generally not that many actually crash.
Just got back from a 20 day run in Colorado. Fought and mopped up a fire for 3-4 days with the help of some snow and rain, then our titles changed to “extreme landscapers” 😂😂
Amen! I am in rookie school and my class dedicated our academy to the Granite Mountain Hotshots who died in the line of duty in Arizona. Wildland firefighters deserve every ounce of respect we have to offer.
I live in Arizona, and remember that wildfire. The Granite Mountain Hot Shots Memorial is a beautiful dedication to their hard work & sacrifice. I also grew up camping here, and one summer a forest fire began near the area we were camped. I was 12. I remember the way all the campers came together to help... some with their shovels, some helping people get out of the area, going back & forth, but most of all I remember the "pink smoke" dropping from the planes overhead. I helped people get their dogs loaded up into their trucks, and ran water to the people helping. When I saw the fire fighters arrive to our area, the relief I felt is indescribable (especially the thought of "now my grandma will leave"). The only time I can remember a feeling of Hero Worship. 35 years later, I still camp in that same area, and am thankful no lives were lost in that fire.
Appreciate the love, I’m on a shot crew and it’s been a busy bone grinding summer thus far! Sometimes it feels like we’re just invisible people out there working, helicopters always steal the glory. But the majority of us don’t want it anyway, it’s what we love to do! Stay safe and keep making these great videos!
Thank you for what you do. As an avid explorer of forests I appreciate it a lot that people like you are preventing the forests from burning down the forests.
I remember feeling that pride on the day I was certified as a "wildland firefighter" (2002). My first fire was caused by lightning strike in the woods close to our community. It was only about a 10 minute drive followed by a 15 minute hike.. followed by 12 hours of digging and "bumping up". Man, those were some good times. I was so soar after that, I couldn't lift my arms up the following day... 👍
Im a volunteer fire-fighter in Perth Western Australia and I love this guy. Thanks for the mention mate. Side note. We do this job for free cause it needs to get done
I live in Arizona and have hiked the hotshot memorial. My wife lost her house in the Yarnell fire that also claimed the lives of the 19. This all inspired me and I am now a wildland firefighter and being a part of this community is the best thing I've ever had the chance to do. Respect and love to all my forestry tech fam
My younger brother who is only 19 years old, works for the California Conservation Core on the Fire Contracts helping make those fire breaks during live fires. He wants to jump over to Cal Fire if they allow and while it is hard as older siblings to see your younger siblings as anything more than the annoying goblins you would argue with day after day; I am so impressed with the man he is turning into.
You should be proud! The conservation corps is hard work across many disciplines but it's very rewarding and important work that will provide so many opportunities for him ! Hope he enjoyed the experience
Yeah it’s really bad sometimes. Raining ash and smoke filled air. Feels like the western slope might just burn down. Big thanks to anyone battling the fires.
Thank you brother!! I was wildland for 14 years. From 02 to 16. And it wasn't until 2013 when we had the highest facility rate for a crew in recorded history did anyone even mention us or what we do. And you didn't even touch on the folks that are called smoke jumpers. You know those overly insane guys and gals that leap out of a perfectly good aircraft 100 miles from the nearest road and parachute into the wildfire. Then have to hike out when they are done. Oh and getting a bath is just hoping in the river you got to trudge through on your way to set up camp for the night. Cold mountain spring water. Lol. I would do it again in a heart beat though. It was by far my favorite job. I grew up in Idaho and I would spend every day of my life in the mountains if I could.
Thank you for this video I had a friend die in the South Canyon fire in Colorado in 1994, and Scott Blecha was a great guy and the best friend ever to all who were lucky enough to know him.
Wildland FFs and smoke jumpers have a very high rate of suicide due to the mental and emotional stress and trauma of this very dangerous work. Indeed they deserve a lot of respect for the work they do.
We have the highest rate of any public servant. But we do our best to look out for one another. It's usually not until we leave the service that we have problems.
I wouldn’t say the mental or emotional “trauma” or stress; the suicide rate in my opinion is indicative of the winter months being away from the crew, and not having the identity you wear with pride during the fire season to fall back on. For structure dudes it’s a full time gig, wildland is seasonal, and it’s also underpaid and under appreciated. That aspect adds up, as does the cohesion you build throughout a season and then suddenly find yourself alone and with zero purpose during the off season, you’re just a regular joe. To go from a hotshot crew, getting flown in to fires that are ripping, and then two months later you’re unemployed, welcome to the high suicide rate. There’s nothing inherently “dangerous” or trauma ridden doing initial attack firefighter a la smoke jumpers, etc. The loss of identity, especially once someone moves on to another profession, or age forces them out is an incredibly hard thing to do and handle.
Did wildland firefighting for years and I miss the hell out of it! Going back after I'm done with the army. It can be brutal at times and yes, hiking in 3 miles to then start digging is kinda suck but it's all oh so rewarding knowing that you are working to keep a town full of people and lives safe. Respect to my brothers and sister out there on the fire line!
I love this. Wildland firefighters definitely don’t get as much respect as they deserve, that is one of the jobs that I would never want to do. I have so much respect for them and I pray that they never feel unappreciated.
They are unappreciated 😭 all the time in California. My boyfriend is on a hotshot crew. He says people in California treat them like shit. I live in Arizona and most people here understand the things they go through and the amount of danger that comes with the job.. because of the 19 Granite Mountain hotshots that died in 2013. It truly is one of the most dangerous jobs there is and Im worrying so much this fire season 😓 I’m glad I met my boyfriend though because I will never let him feel unappreciated ever again ♥️ I feel like my job now is to always make sure he’s okay when I can. Mentally, physically, emotionally.. support is what those guys need most and I wish more people felt the same way and understood what they go through each year 💕
Big thanks to all firefighters especially the Wild land fire crews, you do a dangerous job I'm not willing to. I'm a Correctional Officer for the Arizona Department of Corrections, there aren't many inmates I'd trust and respect needs to be earned on a individual basis, however the low security inmates that volunteer to work our Wildland Fire crews I respect. I also know that the officers that are their supervisor and right there next to them trust them with their lives. They live and sleep together in the field, no restraints and the supervisors are unarmed, they risk their lives together and I don't think any have tried to escape.
As a wildland firefighter with 20 years under my belt and still learning each season. I appreciate that you made this video content. A couple facts were just a little off, but you pretty much nailed it on the head. The bear part? Precious!I personally have seen very few bear and most are running scared. Now Rattlesnakes......that is the shit that you have to really look out for!!!! Thanks.
My brother, here in Australia, is a volunteer fire fighter, and yes, those guys deserve total respect. We are like California in that we have outrageous fires spreading across thousands of acres during the summer months. When everything is burning, we worry about their safety but know they are there because they are heroes who care. Thanks for making this video thanking all wildland fire fighters!
Thanks for this man, I did a couple seasons on a type 2 IA handcrew with the forest service and it often times feels like a thankless job. And respect to all the inmates that do it for a couple bucks an hour.
Since beginning the process of trying to become a firefighter, you’re channel has been a godsend. You’re such a humble dude and thanks for giving us some insight into what these brave guys do
Wildland fires are called bushfires here in Australia. We had a bad start to the year with the bushfire being stopped within 600 metres of my hometown. We were surrounded by fire for more than a month and at one point all ways to escape were cutoff, leaving us as an island of dry drought affected land, with between 1500 and 2000 people (many older people) plus firefighters. Both town fire brigade and rural fire brigade members fought to save the town.
hey i was also living in rural victoria. those big fire were really scary weren't they. my local cfa team were out there for 100 days without coming back. my friends dad is the captain of the cfa and my friend pretty much didn't see him all summer because of the cfa team being on the frontlines
@@channels7446 we needed all the help we could get. My dad has lived here since he was 5 and says big fires like that happen every 20 years or so. Id be happy to never see another fire so close again. When the fire in Canberra happened years ago i was a volunteer handing out evacuation notices and helping people to leave. The sky went black for days. Im not in Victoria but rather NSW between Canberra and the coast.
@@dotcassilles1488 a few yaers ago there was the ellinbank bushfires and they stopped les than a kilometer from us. firefighters are the best they keep us from turning into crisps.
I want to give a shout out to the Carlton volunteer fire department! They are a bunch of farmers who have teamed up to protect their land with outdated equipment, and pure grit. They stop many many grass fires, and if one of them gets injured, the nearest hospital is at least a 40 minute drive, but if its really serious, they have to be airlifted to the ER!
Lots of respect and thanks to the Wildland Firefighters working on the Pine Gulch Fire about 10 miles away from my house. It’s been burning for 3 weeks, and currently covers an area of 135,958 acres. Lots of respect and thanks to all of the Firefighters out there, be safe and keep it in the black.
My husband and his crew are out in Northern California right now. All FF and VFF do not get the appreciation they deserve. Unlike cops n military. I believe FF and VFF, wildland FF dont get the appreciation they deserve ever, we need to show them more respect and more appreciation
That red glitter they drop from above is just a distraction to what's going on. People see something shinny and flashy and get distracted. These smoke jumpers are the real deal. Putting out thousands / tens of thousands of acres of fire with basic tools such as shovels is just insane.
Mad respect to those guys, spent 4 years in mt and every year we had the 4 seasons plus one additional(smoke). They had great support the communities they were protecting which was awesome to see.
I like to say, yeah it's really tough. I became a wildland volunteer firefighter for 2 years. The amount of work we have to put in even when we're not fighting a fire, is incredible. We have to do standardized test to make sure not only we understand but know our information on fighting a fire. There is like three books of materials, we have to read and those are just the beginner books. Textbook level!!!. Physical aspect is just one of the commitments we also have to maintain. I found myself running a minimum of 25 miles a week that's 5 mi a day. We have to do it at around 8 minutes or under a mile. Hiking is one of the most strenuous parts. Because we have to carry 45 lb for practice for the real fight, up a hill or a mountain for at least 4 to 5 miles of training. That's also not including our tool and the 1 gallon of water we have to carry by our side. And our certified wildland firefighting boots way like 5 lb each. So you're caring at least 55 to 60 lb on you. For training. Oh and there's also a physical standardized test and one of the test is you need to run a mile and a half in under 10 minutes and 45 seconds. Don't worry your boy right here did it in 10 minutes and 10 seconds.
I once had the occasion to use a fire extinguisher at work on a previous job. FYI: polyester pillows do not spontaneously combust: they need some help. My first arson fire! But not my last. If I had felt my life was in danger, I would have run the other way with my coworkers. Mad respect and thanks to those of you who run towards the fire while the rest of us are running to safety. Firefighters are a special breed. Wilderness firefighters are beyond special. Think about what it takes for someone to willingly risk their life fighting fires, and be thankful such people exist. I sure am. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the video. I just got cert'd as a wildland firefighter as I work towards my structural. My first deployment was to the border of Mexico/Cali where there was no shade, it was 120 degrees and the fire was smoldering under the sand. Pure nightmare fuel, but it was an experience and I am looking forward to whatever way my career goes whether structural or wildland.
@@Trashloot Dry dirt that is loosened by surface roots has a lot of air in it that during wetter times is filled by water. And it doesn't take as much oxygen for dry plant matter to smolder as it does for it to burn with visible flames. So the heat has enough air to use the dried-out shallow roots like a candle wick and when it reaches the open air of the plant itself, it can start a new hot burn. - Oh, just re-read my comment. When I said "burn tens of feet underground" I should have clarified that I was speaking of lateral distance, not depth. I apologize for any confusion that caused.
As a California resident where we have 5 seasons.....the 4 normal ones and what my best friend calls fire season..... I absolutely appreciate y'all and all the hard work y'all do. Thank you for keeping us safe. This goes for first responders also.
To you all - thank you for all you do. To those woodland fighters, your sacrifice is beyond measure. My deepest gratitude goes out to all fire fighters - praying for your safety always ♥️
Thanks for the shout out! Thank you. All structural firefighters and helicopter pilots are getting all of the attention. And we can barely support and see our families, but I sure love my job on our hand crew.
I was a firefighter in a rural area of the Midwest for almost 40 years and I applaud you. We might not have had "forest fires" but we had thousands of acres of tall grass, cornfields, wheat fields, and CRP land (the worst) that seemed to spontaneously combust every year around July 4th at about midnight. We used a lot of fire swatters made from mop handles and old mud flaps, and the old metal Indian back pack, hand pump sprayers that held 5 gallon (40 pounds) of water.
As a former Californian, I have ENORMOUS respect for wild land fire fighters. Anything that turns the sky to Mordor, kicks off asthma for hundreds of miles around, and these guys hump in heavy equipment - I bow down.
Working for the forest service, I once watched a fire cover over 1000 acres in an hour. Because of the amazing first responders and police, all of the residents got out safely, safe for one man who had a heart attack. I've seen firefighters run towards the flames as all others were running away. It truly takes an incredible heart to put other lives in front of your own. Thank you.
Nice to hear the structure guys giving some kudos to the wildland guys. Here in Straya, our wildland fire brigades are all local volunteers. I joined after the crazy fires we had here over Christmas 2019, and a large proportion of the guys and girls were doing 15 hours shifts, with no days off for several months. And a significant percentage of these were actually retirees, because they had the most free time!
@@swatrifeman in Australia, I volunteer with the RFS and I'm working my way to go into RAFT. It stands for Remote Area Firefighting Teams, all of them are regular volunteers with advanced training. They either hike up or winched down via helo to the area location. Not the same as Smoke Jumpers, but similar
When I was younger I was in boy scouts and my scout master was the head of the wild land fire department and the amount of respect he got when we went camping was crazy, usually the rangers made it a point to come and talk to him if they knew he was there and we could camp anywhere we wanted with no hassle we would even camp in ranger camps sometimes
Thank you. I think anyone who eats smoke for a living deserves the respect of those we serve. As I retire after 36 years of wildland fire (and Army) I am going to miss it. As I sit on my recliner this morning I wish I was back in the fight.
I just want to say thank you for this video. As a wildland firefighter, you explained my job better than myself or my coworkers could have ever done!! I've been showing it to my friends and family on fb and to my coworkers and everyone is cracking up!
Wild land firefighters are so incredible and the thing is- almost no one knows about them! I know way too many people who don’t really know a lot about emergency services and none of them know what a wild land firefighter is or even that that was a thing, it’s crazy how dangerous it is while also being unappreciated and uncredited a lot of the times
I have an uncle who was a wildland firefighter back in the late 70s, and later worked as a dispatcher for the Bureau of Land Management. He has a couple of pretty crazy stories about those days. As a dispatcher, he was very cautious because he almost got killed a couple times while fighting. I get the impression that he kept quite a few people from getting killed, because he was known for pulling guys back quite a bit if things were starting to look sketchy.
My infinite respect, well wishes and admiration goes out to the wild land fire fighters out there like the Granite Mountain Hotshots who gave their lives trying to make a difference at the Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013. Actual footage of the fire, actual radio transmissions (including their last recorded words) and interviews with the sole surviving member of that group exist right here on RU-vid, and the movie 'Only The Brave' does a great job of turning a real life tragedy into a touching cinematic experience. I highly recommend everyone check that stuff out to truly understand what's involved with fighting wild land fires and what some have to give to do that job.
Been in the wildland fire service for 4 years now, last two seasons as the crew EMT. Love every second of it. Looking to get onto a city fire department soon
When I was in high school my brother volunteered as a “smoke jumper” and when he came home I saw this small backpack and asked if it was his parachute and thought it was so cool. He then told me it was like an emergency fire blanket that he would have to pull out and wrap up in in case the fire changed directions. Thankfully he didn’t have to use it but sadly we lost a family friend because of that. Just thinking about working your butt of digging a fire line exhausted and having to keep in the back of your mind that if the fire changes direction and you see it you might not even have enough time to use the blanket before you’re caught in the middle. Mad respect.
I just completed my first run as a Wildland Firefighter. The men and women I've fought along side are the definition of bad ass! We need more firefighters, come join us!
Dam my hat off to that .....straight up next level after all that hard work now you sleeping on the ground no shower yep that's dedication definitely gets my respect 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
I’m a wildland firefighter and thanks and I also want to thank you I’ve had some experience doing the structure side of firefighting and it’s just as much of a rush getting woken up at all hours of the day and helping those who call us. Keep it up brother. Your Cali bro.take care be safe.
Thank you so much for the shout out!! I personally think you structural guys are nuts and I have mad respect for you guys. My girlfriend asked why I do this instead of settle down (I own a butcher shop, and I'm a climbing arborist in the off season) and I could only reply "Because this is frikkin awesome"
Lmao, imagine Australian wild land firefighting. Trekking in 45° celsius (110°f) heat but the fires also spread so much faster due to the drier wood and plant compost. It's insane
I knew what a fire line is because I watched Rescue Heros as a kid. It's sad that a kids cartoon from 20 years ago is more informative than modern TV, which seems to have only rescue dramas.
Full respect to those who do this as a job but also to prisoners who join them and do the same work for no pay. Currently a prisoner firefighter can work for years and is still barred from getting a job doing the same when they are released. Everyone who works hard and puts their lives on the line to keep the rest of us safe and happy deserves respect, good pay and a pension that's actually worth a damn.
I respect them, doesn't mean I don't still laugh when I have to treat one who hit himself in the foot with a pulaski trying to be a turbo-bro on the line. I only worked wildland for a couple years as EMS, but one of them was deployed to the camp fire and had to work the line for a few days. First time I saw a crowning fire come over a ridge, you could've clipped a cigar with my butthole. Nothing I have ever seen nor done in my life has ever been as abjectly terrifying as a crowning fire.
I'm Australian and a volunteer firefighter with the RFS. The one thing I can remember about pine trees when I deployed about 2 hours south of Bega, is that they fucking explode. Not catch fire, but explode when they are lit. Saw fire shoot straight into the air about 10 metres from the tops of the tree.
Watching a crown event is some scary stuff. The sky is on fire and you can only assume that if the fire is above you, you're about to be swallowed up by it.
Thank you Colin Martin for what you did there, thanks to the people like you many of my friends and family were able to escape from paradise, Eva Walker being one of them.
Living IN a National Forest I cannot express how much we love, respect, depend on these amazing firefighters. We did our bit by re-landscaping around our home. OUT went all the woodchips and scruffy shrubs hard up against the house. In went rocks and the plants, we did keep, went into ceramic pots away from the house. I was never so proud as when one of the firefighter vehicles driving past honked their horn and gave us a thumbs up. Love your firefighters. and try to keep the job (and your property) safer.
It's not much different in the US. The vast majority of firefighters in the US are volunteers, and many are in smaller communities that have to cross train in both structural and wildland firefighting. It's grueling work but is incredibly rewarding and absolutely worth it.
Same in the US and Canada. 73% of departments in the US are volunteer, which rises to 83% up here in Canada. We do both structural firefighting and wildland firefighting qualifications, we get the best of both worlds!
I was an "idiot" civilian staying up near the California "camp fire" way too long, making sure everyone was getting out of this little town I think was called berry something, the scary thing is that we were up there with a truck full of gas cans to help people get down the Hill. Saddest thing is a bunch of weed farmers brought their product down instead of their pig.
