      Geophysics (mapping the subsurface). Largely related to mineral exploration, but also sometimes infrastructure development or environment cleanup or other things. I was often first boots on the ground in a lot of places, having to set up a winter camp upon arrival by bush plane. Good times. :)

      I blew out my knee and settled down now to operate a geophysical equipment business. But I think back fondly.

        Damn, that sounds epic and adventurous. Thanks for sharing, that’s really cool. Not a common thing to have a chance to be that far out, much less in that context.
