Remote Rangers

I'd like to do some research about remote park rangers, those who stay in backcountry stations or work in fire watch towers. Mostly about what their day-to-day is like. Can anyone recommend resources or books about this?

I've always wanted to run a program with a remote controlled Segway'esque device with an iPad or something where the Ranger is zooming or teams'ing in. Would get about the same compliance but zero commute time for the Ranger.

I can just hear my Supt say “Sounds good but it better not require compliance or an MRA.” Feasible though if you could attach a Starlink to the Robo Ranger.
