  • You know it Choppers huh here in Tennessee we WALK a few miles if need be to get out job's.. I bet its real hard to have all your control ready and waiting and to get out the old RTK wow thats hard! In REAL LAND SURVEYING we do it all.... oh by the way B.C. sux!

  • Man you guys are pathetic, at least in California you don't have to worry about freezing to death on the job 100 klicks from anything. I live in McElhanney's home town in northern BC and I work for them, the vid shows our exact kit for a two man crew, except we run snowmobiles in winter.

    We're the first ones on the ground for anything that happens in the oilfield, and some of the time the only way to get to site is by chopper. We work in the REAL bush boys.

  • IT only happens ever once in a while

  • OK, I work for this company and even we make fun of that fucking video. However, it is true that you regularly use quads, snowmobiles and chainsaws in the oilpatch. Alot of oilpatch survey work in Northern Alberta is caried out in sparsley populated boreal forests on Crown land. If youre flagging or doing legal or say.... a 50KM pipeline right of way youre not going to WALK.

  • Perhaps you have yet to hear of Muskeg and grizzly bears. So you just finish flagging off a low area to realize that you were 10 feet away from a hibernating grizz.

  • Im a surveyor in North Georgia and it sucks most of the time because of the steep mountains. Corners fall in solid rock most of the time. But its a great living.

  • hey>>>>I'm the Alaska surveyor dude...And I'm thankful for the 4 wheeler...but I spend most of my time wading through nasty gas belching swamps infested with more bugs than you can shake a stick at...when I do find solid ground it tends to be infested with more bears than you can shake a stick at...a helmet and orange safety vest aint gonna help ya there...

  • Been surveying for a few years in AZ now and never have rode an ATV yet. It sucks walking miles in 110 degree fucking weather carrying the GPS, paccrest, total station, and the fucking level up mountains.  Then having to set a damn rebar into rock or a section corner in a fucking cactus.
