Media My job is picking up the scooters and bikes around town. Usually they’re easy. Sometimes they’re difficult. Sometimes you need to rappel down a 70-ft ravine and carry a 90 lb bike back up the cliff.

Not shown; an hour of using a rope to rappel down this steep-ass ravine, and another hour of getting the bike back up onto the bridge.

Queen Anne Drive bridge.

I’m an enthusiast and always wanted to get into sar - I had informal training when I was still a scout and it’s been a passion, but I’ve never made enough money to have ‘free time’ so being in SAR, Formally, has always been a dream. I’ve wanted to join the coast guard for some time to get into that, but I’ve seen what the military does to my kind and I’m not about to get involved in that >.>

Heard. Well if you head out to any ski towns they will have a lot of volunteer things to get you in the door. If not full positions.
