The Smokey Generation’s new Smokejumper Collection – Video

I am so excited to announce the launch of The Smokey Generation’s new Smokejumper Collection (Great Video) https://www.facebook.com/TheSmokeyGeneration/videos/592207177608474/ .

Last summer, with the help of some amazing sponsors and backers on Kickstarter, I traveled to Missoula, MT to attend the 75th Anniversary of Smokejumping–with the goal of gathering stories and interviews for the project. I was able to collect stories representing every decade from the 1940s to present, adding more than 120 videos to http://www.TheSmokeyGeneration.com!

To celebrate finishing months and months of editing, I created this short video to introduce the new collection. Please share widely and help spread the word – about both the TheSmokeyGeneration.com and the new collection.

The Smokey Generation is a celebration of the history and culture of wildland fire. The project is growing and expanding day-by-day and your encouragement, comments, likes, and shares help validate that this work is resonating with the right kind of people. Thanks so much for your support!!!

Stay tuned for more great content and initiatives throughout the coming fire season.

All my best,
Bethany Hannah, Founder
