I'm a geology student from Turkey. Is it hard to find a job as a woman geolog? Many People try to convince me to change my department but I really loved studying geology, eventhough im a freshmen.

(I was searching about Geology videos and I found yours)
1:20 - Poor bear
2:01 - I will never use a hammer without glasses again xD I will buy one
2:31 - I bought a chinese compass Clar type, hope it works.
3:36 - Your grain size card is beautiful!
5:26 - It's really clever to have a magnetic pen. You can write and test the rocks (but I think it's good to keep distance from the compass)
6:54 - Nice! I will join the giveaway, I hope it's worldwide hahaha ( I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil)
7:55 - It's really useful!
8:30 - Your mother is heartless with paleontology Haha XD

Your rock collection is nice! I have one too, but the only thing "beautiful" that I brought from the field were manganese dendrites

In the field I like to use HCl for identify carbonatic rocks, I don't know if it is "essencial" but I like to share! xD



I'll follow this series!

Hi Shy, I am looking to apply to Field Camp to another country at the moment. However, I wanted to be prepared for the trip. The climate is dry and hot up to 110 degrees in the summer. Besides those Field Work Tools. Can you do an episode relating to what we should bring for all the environments?

I lost my notebook when we were trying to get away from hail in the middle of a mountain, it got buried under who knows how much hail and didnt realize until we got to the motel. I asked my classmates if they happened to find it in this particular area to please pick it up cause it was mine. Someone found it. All my notes and drawings and whatnot were intact. God bless those weatherproof notebooks.

[BioHazardousPitch]

Recent Geologist graduate here, and starting work soon! I'm excited to see where you take the series. I still get sweaty flashbacks when talking about Strike and Dip lol. I am very thankful about the magnet pen. I did not know those existed! Keep up the good work.

[AbdulLatif-ovse]

Please upload a video on methods of section measurement

[goldnprospectormilo]

Good video covering the basic equipment. Gotta upgrade that lil' estwing to a geotul or a blacksmith hammer... helps a lot when bashing lots of outcrop.

[mikelong]

I love your enthusiasm! Keep up the good work.

A brick layers hammer is a good substitute and looks identical to a rock hammer

[Hrom]

I really like your spelling! I can understand you! Yay!

[allRadioactive]

Interesting video. It helped me a lot in getting started it geology :)

[northernselfreliance]

Great Video!! I really enjoyed it. What brand of hand lenses is that? Where can I get one with the same pouch? Also can you recommend any good geology shops in alberta to get equipment from?

[geounipabinggris]

So through ... and interestingly fun. Cheers.
