Great job in the great out doors, soaking up that sun, fresh air, connecting with nature, grounding, and exercise. Gotta do more vids!

This is my favorite land surveying channel! Also the game is called limbo😂

That’s a cool area to survey. I got to survey some epic dams in the pacific north west when I first started in the field. Awesome stuff!

Awesome video! Keep it up! Do you need 4 alive bearing trees for 1/4 corners like in Oregon? A bearing tree video would be cool👍

Awesome video. Beautiful part of the US you're working in and that altitude will make you as fit as Superman. How are you getting on with your boots? Have you thought about getting a pair of rubber ones too?

Thank you so much for the insight of what I'll be doing next month! I cannot wait to get started!

Doing the LIMBO! Or is it the LIMB BOW? LOL

Hi! I just started my career in surveying, a surveying assistant to be exact. I work for this company in rural Nova Scotia Canada. Beautiful lands to see and explore. Grateful for a job that will allow me to do what I love! Any tips or advice? I'm 26 and the only female surveyor. Love your videos <3 Take care!

Your You Tubes are awesome! Good job!

It sounded like a bear...time stamp 2:40 to 2:60....in the bush when you were setting up.. 😀

I wish all I had to do was hike and find stuff on the ground I spend 80 percent of my time cutting bushes or going through briar patches or sweating my butt off in the summer here in Mississippi and Alabama but I enjoy surveying! Plus I wish everything was marked up as good as that!

I noticed the section monuments located with GPS had pine trees close. In NC my GPS lacks accuracy when pine trees are close. It never was a concern to the surveyor in the video? Why?

Everyone is screaming limbo at their screen watching this

Hey brother I've been trying to apply for an apprenticeship program but everything seems to be closed down for applications at the moment. Is there any other route someone who'd like to be a surveyor could take other than through an apprenticeship ?

[Purple_avacoda]

I’m seriously considering starting my journey as a land surveyor but I have sort of a stupid question. I’m pretty short compared to others will this affect the ability to use certain equipment?

Hey, I am looking into taking some surveying classes in KY. I have an environmental science degree with a focus area in GIS so I believe some of these classes will cross over, but my question is what is the job market like? I love being in the outdoors so I know this will be a great fit for me, but worried about finding a job after taking these classes. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. You work in some beautiful places.

Was this a training exercise for you? Or what was the purpose of the rechecks on existing monuments?

[atsimeri]

why do you setup the base in an arbitrary point with unknown coordinates in the local datum? do you collect static measurements in the base during rtk and then process it all over? whats the plan?

How many bears have you seen? Do you carry a pistol?
