@Deleted User Thanks much!
👍🏻
Two most important items I can think of. Lifestraw for water and a solar light with USB for phone charging. The latter worked wonders during hurricane!

Hey to @everyone what kind of trades would you recommend for our guys looking into trade school?
Electrical is in demand
HVAC is in heavy demand. Also welders.
Any trade is never a bad idea. I recommend electrical of the industrial nature. Tool and die , welding, pipe fitting hvac. Medical trades like X-ray tech and such are great too.
It is truly an employee's market right now in the maintenance field.
The boomers are retiring and due to the constant push for everyone to go to college there are not nearly enough skilled workers to replace them.
The ideal situation for a young man would be to find a company who will hire you and give you on the job training while paying you to go to school. I know that may be far fetched but it does happen. The only thing is you have to sign a no compete for 5 years or so.
As a young 19 year old I had that very opportunity but I pissed it away.
If I could do it over, I would try to be a machinist. I'm an electrician, and it's good work, and it takes a smart guy, but it's not so technical that the nogs can't do it.
@Deleted User Don't go to trade school.
I'm not.
Don't recommend it to people
If you're in a union state, talk to the union first.
If you're non-union, just get a job and they'll pay for your education
Usually
Know what's actually in pretty high demand in my area and pays well? Arborist tree-climber.
^^^
30K - 50K to start and doesn't require a ton of training
People don't understand that trees are living things, and they'll hire anyone with a saw to show up and ruin the aesthetic of their yard.
The big work in my area is clearing the tops around power lines, houses, etc
Power line workers
AC repair
Diesel mechanics
Line work is dangerous as hell. I think it's 1/100 mortality or something like that.
The wage is awesome, and you get all the overtime you could ever want, though
35 per 100,000
Not that bad
I have a friend who does it and loves it. Only took 6 months of training too
