Pros

The most unique job you can imagine as an outdoorsy person. Access to the national park in a way most people will never know. Communal living with other amazing humans.

Cons

Government processes... Living in a tent with no running water or electricity. Subjected to the seasons. Poor pay for the physicality and trauma of the work.
