It even gives you instructions on how to fold it. Because then you have to fold it back, and it’s like this thing that barely fits in this little kind of square casing for it. Getting in is not that hard, folding them back was biggest pain in the ass. Teller: We probably did, over, I don’t know, over 30 times practicing that thing, and yeah it is, because you have to velcro it out, and then shake it. Were the green deploy bags just as hard to get on as they looked, and did you have to try a ton of different times? The spirit of the Granite Mountain Hotshots I think was really running through all us.
I just felt like right off the bat we were able to get to really know each other in a way that wasn’t, “Hey, let’s go get a drink or let’s get dinner.” To me that’s very surface level, but when you’re sitting there and you’re uncomfortable and you’re hurt, and all this stuff, you know the guy to the left of you is doing it, but you just keep putting 1 foot in front of the other. So the collective suffering was very tough, but that was also the best part. If you are, someone else will have to pick up your slack. We were doing a lot of hiking with 45-pound packs, and these boots, obviously that sucked. So yeah, the worst part was the endurance, or the altitude actually, because we were filming 7,500 feet above sea level, 10,000 feet above sea level. Teller: Yeah exactly, cruel and unusual punishment. To call them blisters would be kind of unfair to the amount of pain and suffering you’re all in, but yeah it was extremely… I have some photos of them, all these guys had them. What was the worst part and what was the best part? So you’re part of the boot camp, as far as this film goes, sort of getting training, and camaraderie, it sounded awful, it sounded hard. In the film, he is portrayed by Miles Teller ( Whiplash), and in our roundtable interview with him, Teller discusses everything from that very moment in McDonough’s life, to the difficulties in boot camp, to the art of acting. He had hoped to go there to grieve with them, but the moment he entered, he realized that everyone in the room was instantly angry at the fact that he wasn’t who they wanted to come back. Immediately following the deaths of his brothers in the fire, McDonough went to the gymnasium, where all the families were awaiting their husbands/brothers/fathers to return from the fire. Of the 20 Hotshots, only one of them survived the Yarnell Hill Fire, and that man was Brendan McDonough, who had actually separated from the group during the actual fire.
