I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at BlueFire Wilderness (Gooding, ID) in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview consists of a brief phone call where they ask about previous experience and why you think you'd be a good fit for the position. If you're selected, there is a 5-day straight training seminar where you go out into the field and demonstrate your physical health, mental vigor, and readiness for the job. This is an extremely physically demanding job, so if you aren't up for eating camp food (dehydrated rice, beans, lentils) or if you have dietary restrictions, this may be an extremely uncomfortable position. That being said, as a person with ulcerative colitis who can't eat dairy, gluten, treated meats, etc. I was able to get by, just in a lot of pain and with frequent flare ups.

Question 1
They ask questions pertaining to the job, mostly making sure you're a good candidate for this strenuous position. You need to be ready to live in the wild for 2 weeks at a time. The candidates that didn't make it through the training seminar were in poor health or were overwhelmed by the thought of living in the wild on basic food, only showering once for two weeks, etc. for a living.
