    Look into work camping for the feds or state parks. I follow one or 2 camping forums and many mention doing so sometimes just for the site fees at small grounds others at federal and state parks on a casual seasonal type contract.

    Went to doc. She said I have fluid behind the ear drum. She said it's from a combination of aligeries and flying. Gave me some meds to take for 5 days.

    I thought it was a decent gig
    I thought it’d last longer but I was paid by the state. There are other positions if you look in parks departments

    That would be writing a camping blog or column for magazines or periodicals and getting sponsor ship. You could also look for grants for women owned business and such or monitoring jobs for sensors , wildlife etc . Don't make us do all the heavy lifting lol .

    As a general rule of thumb if someone pays you it is called a job. If it is fun and enjoyable then you pay them and it is called a Carnival. Just saying...

    There are Campground hosts all over the Country at the Federal and State levels. Don't pay much if anything but your site is free. You will most likely be expected to clean shitters among other things. You can't go camping whenever you want, you have to do it all season long. Normally from the same site. Just like taking 30 days Leave so you don't loose it and fly fishing everyday for at least 8 hours a day eventually it becomes work. Most campground hosts are glad to see the end of the season come around.

    Not a fan of the heat but I know you get used to it after awhile. Spent 6+ months in the middle east in '16, hot and humid, spent months where the lows never went under 100. Last few weeks I was there the temps dropped fast, down to the 80's, felt freaking cold!
