Anyone have any stories?

also helps if you sound like you won't spill your spaghetti talking on the radio, because that's a lot of what lookouts do

no, and for what it's worth they're called lookouts, not firewatch

having said that, a lot of lookout postings are at gs-4, so in order to qualify for those you may need to get a reasonably well-documented season of trails or wildland fire or "forestry aide (general)" under your belt.

it should also be noted that OP was asking for a summer job anyway, and there's not a lot of overlap between financial success and seasonal work innawoods or otherwise either
