Oliver's Tree, A Virtual Adventure!
This guy is a tyrant!! ruclips.net/video/cLT-izX40ao/видео.html
I'm 25, a disabled Infantry Vet (minor hip injury that doesn't stop me from walking or hiking, hearing, and PTSD). Currently looking to use my GI bill, was going to get an agricultural degree, but now I'm thinking of getting a forestry degree. I have a wife and 3 kids, I plan to buy land for an off grid homestead near a state/national park, blm, or other public land. I'd live in Arizona or Utah, we have a lot of it. My question is what are the odds I will be able to be a ranger where I live?

Oh Swornsen, you've got to be the most ignorant law enforcement officer Ive ever heard speak. " Exigent circumstances" you really said that after you "smelled weed" near a kayaker 😂😂😂
Same famous Jeremy Sorensen? lol ruclips.net/video/b5d7ZmNwjFc/видео.html&ab_channel=LackLuster
4:39 The Nauseating arrogance and tyranny ....You do a lot of UNLAWFUL ENFORCEMENT ..How about respecting peoples 4th amendment RIGHTS !!!! ruclips.net/video/b5d7ZmNwjFc/видео.html
Hey thanks for the great Video. Well is it mandatory to be an US citizen to work as a ranger? I have the German citizenship and a Bachelor degree in Geoscience. We had several projects about environmental issues so thats why I was thinking about to get more practical experience outside.

Any thoughts on the Penn Foster Career School program in wildlife forestry conservation? It's fully online and awards a career diploma worth 30 something CEUs. What jobs could I get with that diploma? I'm in California. Thanks.

How necessary is it to have a bachelors degree. I have an associates
Great video sir
I love your passion for your job
Who is the oldest park ranger to apply
Some of our rangers with TN State Parks are in their 60's.
What do you think the most impotent college degree is do become a National Park Ranger?
Depends on if you are going into the position of Law Enforcement or Interpretation. Really depends on where you are trying to get stationed at as well.
Hi, how are you my friend? First of all, thank you for the video! My name's Hugo, I'm from brazil and I would like to know if it's possible try to do an application for this work, for a year round.
Thanks partner 🙏🏼
Hi I am 15 years old inspiring to be forest ranger! But I am afraid that I wear glasses, can I still be the forest ranger?
I'm 17 and I wear glasses, yeah man we're still eligible
Great Words! Greetings from Czech Republic ;)
I have worked as a cna at a hospital and I would like to switch careers and looking into becoming a ranger do you think that would look okay to become a ranger?
Certainly, rangers will often have a medical background.
I’m currently living in Sweden and just turned 18, and I’m moving to Canada in 2 years with the goal to become a fish and wildlife officer or a park ranger, that’s the only reason I’m moving to the other side of the world. So wish me luck and maybe we’ll work together in the future!
This is a great video and I want to thank you for this and for your service.
do park rangers get retirement?
Yes, it varies from employer to employer.
I'm currently very interested in becoming a park ranger. I plan on going to school for natural science and or forestry. But I don't know if my bad history will hold me back from becoming a park ranger. How would you go about this?
Army ranger / engineer. 29 year old 8 years of service, associates degree in psychology. Not qualified to even scrub toilets for $13 an hour for the National parks… applied for 41 entry level jobs on usajobs no go need a Master’s degree for general labor is what the lasts interviewer I had recommended
I have sooooo many questions! But, some of my biggest questions are: 1. What is a day in the life of a park ranger like? Do you wake up early, get to bed late? Do you eat trail food for lunch? Do you have pets? How much time do you spend with family? 2. Do you have to live in an RV to be a park ranger? Do you all have bunk houses rangers can use for a season? How can I learn more about living arrangements for park rangers? 3. How do you stay comfortable outside?! I struggle with wearing the right kind of clothes, layers, and sometimes I forget to wear lotion in winter (which makes me very itchy). 4. How much do you need to know before you can be hire able? How much can you learn on the job?
Great questions my friend. How about you just call our office at 423-263-0050. I would be happy to answer all of the questions that you have. Ask for Ranger Jeremy
I am currently in my last semester of my associates degree in science, and transferring into a North Carolina state school. My ultimate goal and passion of this is to become a state park ranger. I would love to pick your brain about the best steps to do so
I hope you can do this! I believe in you 😊🙏
Sounds good, congrats! Call our office at 423-263-0050. I would be happy to answer all of the questions that you have. Ask for Ranger Jeremy
@@hiwasseeocoee6075 Hello, I've seen you post your park's number a few times in your comments section. I was wondering if it would be okay if I gave you a call? I am also trying to become a Park Ranger.
I would love more insight into becoming a park ranger
I've been working as a seasonal worker at a state park this year, I honestly love it. And it's been so good for me mentally, I struggle with depression and anxiety, and the one thing that has always helped me is nature. Being out in it has been amazing, and I've really enjoyed the working at the park. I'm thinking this is what I want to do, so I'm looking into becoming a ranger.
Good stuff Bee! I too get refreshed being in nature. Best wishes and happy trails!
I also suffer from anxiety and depression. I would always go to state parks and run with my dog. I really want to become a full time Park Ranger and plan on getting my bachelor's degree in forestry or natural science, but I don't know if my criminal record will hold me back. May I have your opinion?
@@adamgarcia1087 I wish you the very best. TN State Parks states that you may not have a "felony". I will attach our list of qualifications, but you will need to research what your potential employer desires. Qualifications • Education and Experience: Graduation from an accredited college or university with a bachelor's degree • Be willing to and able to qualify with, carry, and use assigned weapons; • Be at least twenty-one (21) years of age on the date of application; • Be a citizen of the United States; • Have a good moral character, as determined by investigation; • Complete a criminal history disclosure form in a manner approved by the appointing authority; • Agree to release all records involving their criminal history to the appointing authority; • Supply a fingerprint sample in a manner prescribed by the TBI for a fingerprint based criminal history records check; • Have no conviction for a felony or have been discharged under any other than honorable conditions from any branch of the United States armed forces; • Pass a physical examination administered by a licensed physician that is consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act and that relates to the essential functions of the position; • Pass a psychological evaluation administered by a licensed mental health professional that is consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act and that relates to the essential functions of the position; • Possess a valid motor vehicle operator's license at the time of appointment; • Upon appointment, successfully complete a prescribed course of instruction at the Tennessee Law Enforcement Academy or have successfully completed the equivalent of the prescribed course
In my late 20s I went in the public-school teacher direction, but if I had to take another path, it would have been in the ranger direction.
Is it possible to become a park ranger without a degree? I'm 32 years old trying to get into park ranger or something like that outdoors
Most ranger jobs that I have seen do require a 4 year degree. You will need to research that question from the employer that you desire. I started when I was 34ish, wish you luck.
I had a chance a being a ranger but turned it down for a American automotive factory job. I have made 6 figures the last two decades but I really regret that decision now.
Sorry to hear that, thank you for sharing.
I’m from Washington State, I graduated High School not long ago and I’ve been struggling with what I want to do with my life. I love the outdoors as Washington is very beautiful and I grew up camping all the time. I was thinking being a park ranger would be perfect for me! Thank you for making this video.
Excellent video, I’ve been a city correction officer for over 10 years and have an associate degree, would I be able to apply with just my peace officer experience?? I will love it so much to be able to be outdoors with nature and give my best.
can't afford college.... well crap
what prevents you from doing outdoor activities in nature, in the mountains or parks,?
does the forrest service require the covid vaccine
I just turnt 22 I was a amateur boxer and had to retire I ve spent 3 years learning bushcraft and wilderness skills and I think being a park ranger is what I want to do with my life but I don't know how
Move off the grid? Lol I live in the boonies lol
Hi is a degree always required or could you substitute with work experience?
Just depends on your employer. Yes, with TN State Parks.
I'd love this job but I smoke weed. This shit is fucking bullshit because I would be amazing at this job.
It's okay though I'm starting my own business and i go hiking but damn would still love this job.
I'm getting out of the military in a couple years and realized a desk job is not what I need in my life, so I'm thinking about going back home and becoming a Park Ranger up at the Olympic Park in Washington State once my current contract is up. I know you don't work for that park, but would you mind me asking what the hours are like on average that you and your coworkers put in? I'm wanting to use my GI bill to pursue higher education and am curious if it's possible to take classes (whether online or in person) and work as a Park Ranger at the same time. Thanks!
Hey there Recon, being full-time commissioned officers/rangers we work 37.5 hrs per week for the state of TN. However, during the summer months those hours are exceeded. This is of course based upon the type of park you are working at. Best of luck!
@@hiwasseeocoee6075 Appreciate it thank you!
Good morning. The question I have is am I to old to do this job? I just got out of the Navy of 17 years and I am 39 years old today. I still need a degree but always wanted to do something like Park ranger, Forrest ranger or Game warden.
Negative, many employers do not have an age requirement. Thank you for your service and best of luck!
Well you’re a legend, thank for the info and motivation, love.
I myself am 31 years-old, I have just gotten out of the military after 12 years in, and I've started looking at my options for my future career goals. I've started a vocational rehab program with the VA, assisting their groundskeeping department, which has really made me realize that I actually really enjoy working outdoors. Becoming a park ranger/forest tech is looking very interesting to me and watching this video definitely further solidified that interest. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for your service and happy trails!
Really looking into becoming a park ranger. I'm not entirely sure how long it would take to get there, but I'm excited to start
How does experience in EMS affect my resume for this job? Is that something they look for or overall a non-factor?
Yes and no... Here at TN State Parks all of our rangers are EMRs at a minimum. I think that would be helpful to have on a resume.
Just found your videos and every one i watch its making me more and more wanting to be a park ranger
Good to hear! Happy trails!
Hey Jeremy! Would love to hear a video comparing your park ranger time in The Army Corps of Engineers vs Tennessee State Parks and why not National Parks?
Honestly, it just depends on the park you serve at. In comparison, here at Hiwassee/Ocoee State Park I conduct more educational programs, Law Enforcement, First-aid and Rescue response than with the Corps of Engineers at Stockton Lake. While I served there, I focused much on Park Maintenance & Resource Management. Hope this helps.
