The Supt. Series: A Conversation with Kris Baumgartner, Superintendent of The Pioneer Peak Hotshots.

On Today's Show: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/ We have a conversation with Pioneer Peak Hotshot Superintendent Kris Baumgartner. The crew just returned from an assignment in Alberta, Canada, and we discussed that experience.

• We talk about Hotshot culture and everything that comes with it.

• Old school V.S. new school and what can we learn from both.

• The importance of grit, tenacity, and rugged toughness while still recognizing the importance of self-awareness and decompressing.

• Our experiences with mental health and how we each have dealt with “waking up.”
