Here she is! This is the one of a kind 3.5LB Pulaski made for the @Seager X @coorsbanquet wildland firefighting collaboration! I was approached for this project just 3 weeks before filming. When asked over the phone if I can make a Pulaski for them I answered yes, of course! Then I spent the next couple weeks figuring out how. I later learned they were told by an axe company in Maine that no one would be able to make that for them - I’m glad we could prove that wrong and make it happen. I loved the challenge, loved the filming process and love how their video turned out. Check out Seagers page to see the making of this Pulaski and grab some of their limited release merch while you’re at it. 6% goes to support Wildland Firefighting with the @wffoundation

Humbled and Grateful. Last week I received the United States Forest Service Chief’s Award for the work I do in the casualty assistance space, specifically for catastrophically injured wildland firefighters and unfortunately this year, in the event of a loss. This isn’t a ‘look at me’ post but rather a gesture of gratitude to those individuals and their families who have opened up and trusted me in some of the most challenging periods of their lives. Allowing a complete stranger to stand beside you and walk with you through recovery or loss is not easy, yet you’ve been kind enough to allow me to step into that space—I thank you for that because truly this award is about you and that trust you’ve placed in me. And that thanks goes beyond the wildland firefighter and their family—it also goes to their crews, their friends and their leadership: thank you for allowing me to step in and support you. And for entrusting the care of your colleague, friend, and their family to me. It’s genuinely an honor and privilege that I do not take lightly. I don’t do this work for recognition or any award, candidly I didn’t even know one could be recognized for it and that had never been something I’ve actively sought. I do it because it matters and because it’s the least I can do to help make things suck a little less. And last but certainly not least is a sincere thank you and I love you to my amazing wife @coach_aubrielle who has supported and joined me in this space throughout it all. This is not a skillset I’m particularly fond of having because it’s use is almost always following something tragic, but I’m thankful for the opportunity and trust to serve in these moments.

This week in history - October 19 to October 25 10/19 - On this day in 1938, eight Civilian Conservation Corps firefighters were killed and one other badly burned when a wind shift pushed flames over their location during the initial attack on the Pepper Hill Fire in northern Pennsylvania. The final size of this fire was 134 acres. 10/20 - On this day in 1991, strong northeast winds pushed the Oakland Hills Fire through the hills above the cities of Oakland and Berkeley in California; 25 individuals perished in the fire including one Oakland city firefighter and one Oakland city police officer. During the incident the fire jumped an eight lane freeway and burned over 3300 homes along with 450 apartment buildings in less than 10 hours. 10/25 - On this day in 2003, the Cedar Fire started and a significant Santa Ana wind event pushed it through a large swath of San Diego County in California. The fire made a 29 mile run covering more than 100,000 acres in just 10 hours; it eventually destroyed over 2800 buildings, burned 273,000 acres, and caused the deaths of 14 civilians and 1 firefighter.

What an event to remember! 🥋🏆 We’re still reminiscing about the incredible 2026 @globaltraditionalmartialarts City of Trees GSHIM Celebration Tournament! From testing and demo performances to the excitement in the rings, the entire weekend was filled with determination, sportsmanship, unforgettable moments, and so much heart! A HUGE thank you to all the students, instructors, studios, volunteers, families, sponsors, and community members who came together to make this year's tournament such an incredible success. ❤️ Together, we raised an AMAZING $12,166 for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation! 🎉 One of the highlights was a beautiful painting by Cassidy Sines, which alone raised an incredible $5,000 at auction! What an extraordinary display of talent and generosity! To everyone who donated, volunteered, participated, and supported this event, we cannot thank you enough. Your hard work, kindness, and generosity made a lasting impact, both inside and outside the rings. We're already looking back on all the amazing memories made last weekend, and we'd love to hear yours! 👇 If you attended, tell us your favorite moment in the comments! . . . . . #CityOfTreesTournament #LegacyMartialArts #GTMA #Taekwondo #TreasureValley

A wall made of STRAW survived over TWO HOURS of fire exposure… while a conventional wall caught fire in minutes. 🤯🔥 Yep. You read that right! We recently attended Earthcraft Construction’s Learn & Burn event at the Wildland Firefighters Foundation building in Boise, and there was a whole lot to appreciate. First, the building itself. ❤️ What an incredible space dedicated to honoring the wildland firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Beautiful, meaningful, and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who protect our communities. Then came the fire demonstration. 👀 Earthcraft put conventional wall construction up against plastered straw bale construction to see how each would perform under fire exposure. 🔥 Conventional wall: caught fire within minutes. 🌾 Straw bale wall: NEVER caught fire during more than TWO HOURS of exposure! And fire resistance is only part of the story! Straw bale construction uses a renewable agricultural material, provides incredible insulation, and can significantly reduce the energy needed to heat and cool a home. It’s sustainable building with some seriously impressive benefits, especially when you consider the wildfire risks we face here in Idaho. A huge thank you to Earthcraft Construction for the education and to the Wildland Firefighters Foundation for hosting us in such a meaningful space. And a special acknowledgment to Darron and Michelle Williams for their support of the event. Sometimes the smartest building ideas aren’t new at all. They’re old ideas worth taking another look at. #energyefficiency #BoiseIdaho #EarthcraftConstruction #StrawBaleConstruction #SustainableBuilding

Fire Salt was originally designed to hydrate firefighters. Today, it is one of the leading electrolytes used by wildland crews across the American West. Every year, we donate to fire departments across the country. That’s core to who we are as a brand. We’re incredibly proud to launch a partnership with @wffoundation to give back as the wildland season comes to a close. Tomorrow we launch Scorched Orange Fire Salt. 10% of all sales will be donated to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation to support wildland firefighters and their families. It’s the same orange flavor you know and love, in a custom pouch with a big mission. We’re just getting started.
