But I’d have to make arrangements for my pets and my gf would be mad I’m leaving her for two months for a fishing job 😂

    If she loves you she will wait 😆 that sounds like a good job

  2. corgi-king

    Well, I don’t think it is a fishing job if you stay on land the whole time.

    I did this…in hindsight probably wasn’t the best relationship move, but I actually after three weeks convinced the exec chef to also hire my ex partner who is also a chef. Our break up was unrelated. We had a blast. I recommend travel work. Honestly, if you have a good relationship your gf would understand especially if it’s only a couple months.

  4. I live pretty close. It’s beautiful. I’m guessing the pay is pretty minimal, but the free lodging and scenery would make up for that. You’ll have to make trips to town a couple of times a week to buy what you need, so, plenty of driving. Do they pay for your gas or wear and tear on your car?

    Wow. See if your girlfriend can have a free living situation for small things around the property?

    If I was young and dating… I’d take fuckin 12 bucks an hour if they’re paying all my bills and taking me on guided trips, just sayin. That seems like a dream.

    This fits into my specialty. I do pure contract work out of Lyon. My last job was in Alberta, Canada for resort season. Winter months I head to SE Asia.

    Before you accept the position, have in contract your reimbursement, housing, travel costs (this includes leaving during your contract), and other costs (does your phone plan work?

    I live in this area, I’m willing to bet the pay is pretty low. But for some people the experience may be worth it. It’s definitely a long drive to Hungry Horse, and that town doesn’t offer much sk you’d want to consider having to drive into Columbia Falls or Kalispell for supplies.

    I live in Montana and can tell you that you don’t want this job. Not that this place sucks or anything but these outfitter places in general are hard work, with shit help, low pay, and longer hours than you can imagine, punctuated by prolonged periods of Bordom and loneliness. For an out of stater, I would suggest getting a ski resort job or something WITH INCLUDED HOUSING. Tons of people move out here and get stuck. Don’t become one of them!

    “ Rural death cult is looking for a trained chef”

    The fucking bob…..goddamn that would be fun. I wonder if they’d let me bring my kid.

  12. Grip-my-juiceky

    The kind of clients that go to those places may be worth the summer. Tips etc, but those contacts. Do some research and figure out what dishes you wanna do, grab some hiking boots and mosquito repellant and get some business cards made up.

    Those corporate 8 tops are people who make things happen. Especially for capable chefs met in the middle of their $7500 fishing trip.

    Did a gig similar to this when I was younger. Amazing opportunity and would love to again, but I’ve got a family now

  14. CarltonFist

    Did one of those up in Alaska years ago. Fly in. Awesome experience. Do it for all of us tied back with family. lol

  15. Ridiculousnessjunkie

    When I retire from teaching I want to take seasonal jobs like this. What a wonderful way to supplement my income and travel!

  16. Unfair_Holiday_3549

    I did this type of cheffing in Alaska. I have some great memories and crazy stories. Go for it. I found the post on fb, and it has 830 posts when I saw it.

    My chef brother took a very similar job in Montana a few years back at the Lochsa Lodge. He loved it, no cell service tho, he told us about the scary but exciting nights walking to his cabin and hearing mountain lion screams. Def a once in a lifetime experience

  18. jillberticus42

    I’ve did something similar and never left Montana. Pay is shit but you have free room and board and unlimited access to nature. Also you live with everyone you work with…which can be good and bad. Keep in mind free room and board doesn’t always attract the best people! It’s a mix of people there for the nature and people who have messed up everything else in their life.

  19. Bro my mom sent me this same thing on Facebook earlier today!

  20. Mysterious_Chart_909

    This sounds like a dream. If I had more than two months experience, I would apply in a heartbeat

  21. saurus-REXicon

    I grew up in this area. It’s pretty remote, about 50 miles from a grocery store. Awesome wilderness. I’d do this in a heart beat, but, meh.

  22. You will make BANK, make sure you get a share of tips.
    It’s crazy how much money fishing lodges make.

  23. Ok-Persimmon893

    Depending on availability of supplies, what would be some dishes you would try in this setting?

  24. Squishymallowpuff

    This looks like the Summer Camp from The Quarry, be careful of the werewolves.

  25. 20-something kid who is a friend of our family takes a job as a guide at one of these camps every year. He loves it. I’d assume something like this is very dependent on the boss and clientele being chill, which can be hard to find when they’ve got that kinda money. Interview carefully!

    I did seasonal work the past 2 years in NW Montana. Amazing place 

  27. IceCubeDeathMachine

    Then they’ll all ask for omelets every morning. In pans that look like they were used in hellraiser. Don’t ask me how I know. I’m not ready. I’m never going
    to get over it.

    ##Scrambles! You get scrambles!

    You live above the kitchen, pay is low, and you do more than cook. Everyone is expected to pitch in and do everything from repairs to housekeeping. It’s off grid and miles of shit roads from the closest town.. Beautiful country, though.

  29. Dobby_Club_

    I’m not even in the food service industry or have ever worked in it and I want to apply

  30. Isn’t this how the first Friday the 13th kinda started?

  31. spoopydingbat

    You mean to tell me this isn’t the weeping woods portion of the fortnite map?

  32. Known_Ad7450

    Best decision I ever made was to take a job like this. I work for a whitewater rafting company and feed their guides during the summer using this same format. I have a small cabin, take a nap every day at noon while they are on the river, and haven’t paid rent, utilities, or for my own food for almost 2 years now. Do it.

    When was 23 I spent 3 seasons cooking at a surf and yoga retreat in Portugal and then for the winters they had a surf and yoga hotel in Asia. 6 months in Europe, 6 months in Asia. They were the best days of my life. Surf whenever I want to, great produce, great clientele, full creative freedom and a great pay package (for my age then) with my accommodation, meals, flights, visas and transport to and from the retreat all covered. And a maximum 7-8 hour shift

    I wouldn’t do it now but at 23 it was perfect.

    No worries. You won’t have a girlfriend when you get back.

    I did something like this out in Arizona for a little over a year. No cell service, no internet. It was on a little orchard near a popular river hike. It was such a great experience. I raised chickens for fresh eggs, helped butcher a cow, got way better at baking bread. Dinner was family style and communal, the conversations were usually pretty interesting. I miss those days so much.

  36. timbukdude

    Worked with a dude who did this every summer. He worked at my bar over the winter. He lived out a van but found a smoken Korean gf to mooch off if. Worked through Feb, got another lodge job and was gone by April. Gotta respect it.

    When you turn up to a wooden bench and a hatchet near an open fire for 30 covers tho..
