Wonder if he might be color blind. I've used the high intensity flashlight trick for years. Works well. Going through something similar trying to find myself using the video link on the S6. The low resolution and frame a second makes it a challenge at times.
I had a bright orange hardhat with a big oversized strobe light epoxied to the top I put together as a joke telling a brand new greenhorn rod man that due to OSHA rules, he would be required to wear whenever he carried the rod in the field. Just throwing out ideas. I had no problem tracking him through the gun but great difficulty focusing through my tears of laughter.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
take him out in the parking lot..
> ..give him a handful of rocks and blindfold him. Now walk and arc about 150' away, yell at him, and see if he can hit you with a rock. Once his ears are good, work on his eyesight. 😉
Or yell whoooop and throw a rock at him. He will learn to tell where its coming from :-S
Is he following you with the crosshairs while you are walking, or waiting for you to tell him your ready for the shot, then trying to find you? That makes a big difference.
Bingo with the pink. It is the easiest color to see if you aren't color blind. It is also difficult for elk and deer to spot...
That's the ticket, the I-man has to watch you go from point to point or at least know where you are in relation to the last shot!!!
Problem Solved
He came in Hung-Over today :-@ so I changed over to a topo job that another crew was on, to give them a hand. They had 4 2000 LF lines left to cut mostly thru privit. He seemed to think I was doing it to punish him for a bad judgement. I just put on my best "I would never do that face", and told him this job needs to get out the door. Followed up with now get back on your line and get it cut.
He quit at lunch.
Problem Solved
