Swede's adventures include a summer on a fire lookout, deployment as a Marine to Korea, smokejumping, fire suppression, timber forester, aviation management, hunting assisting Montana Game Wardens, ski patrol, an ambulance EMT, and back country rescue.
During the course of his employment as a Forester with the Northern Pacific Railway and with the U.S. Forest Service, he broke a leg smokejumping, fell through the ice on the Swan River, dodged falling tress during a wind shear event, almost got burned up twice, and lost a pick-up truck in a fire entrapment.
