Solo Surveying
I have posted on the old board that recently I have hired a few guys after being
solo for the last seven years.Today, I gave them all the day off with pay, but I got a little bored this morning and hooked up the ATV and went out to a new job to start the recon part.
We have got a lot of blessed rainfall in the last 5 days and there is a creek to cross to get to the back portion of this property.
I spent about 2 hours trying to find a place to safely cross this creek(raging river)(either by ATV or by foot) and the best place I could find still worried me.
Being by myself and having many years of experience of barely surviving some stupid decisions, I chickened out and decided I need to have someone present at my drowning. lol
Having taken many risks by myself in the past, this one brought me down to earth a great deal.
Solo means solo, nobody to help you out when you stumble and fall. Be careful out there, check in with your spouse or others every hour, tell them where you are at and where you expect to be in the next hour, get a phone that has the best coverage in your area and anything use the dang thing.
