I'm a Florida Surveyor with over 35 years experience, 29 of those years outside in the field. I'm so happy to see all of your interest in the profession. I had lots of adventures, sometimes fun, sometimes not so much. But always interesting. I have 4 words of advice for you. One, don't get killed, always be aware of your surroundings. Two, don't get sued, meticulous attention to details is of the utmost importance. Three, cover up when out in the sun. It's so hot here in Florida, I neglected my skin and have many scars from the skin cancer being removed. And 4, always take time to enjoy the day, watch the sunrise, listen to the birds, enjoy not being tied to a desk.

when it comes to surveying, you are my king. this is the channel all surveying student have been waiting for. keep it up. much respect sir

Not a surveyor but I am a civil EIT working for a local firm in the southwest US. I volunteered to help out the survey guys to get topo shots in one of our projects and I just want to say I completely underestimated the amount of work to get accurate shots. Surveying is physically demanding but it can pretty fun and challenging. Thanks for showing this video!

I really appreciate the quality of the videos, thank you for the time you put in these, your editing skills are really impressive.

I gotta say I will be taking civil engineering next school year as a fresh man and i'm willing to use my time to have a headstart in our lessons. You deserve more recognition sir and thank you for your efforts

[mbopdude]

Just started as a chainman and want to learn as much as I can to become a surveyor. This is so valuable, thank you!

[ryancousins]

You've earned the respect of an archaeologist with this kinda content. Now I know how to the survey an archaeological site.

I am really finding your channel very insightful and you providing a practical way of understanding surveying. Otherwise, I have watched all your videos on your channel so far, probably the one that would help a lot more would be sharing your sample data. So as allow us follow through with your lessons. (MSc.

Subscribed! Awesome introduction to what it takes to survey!

[andycropper]

Watching from England, while I'm not an engineer I am a salesman of survey equipment, as such there is little to no training for anyone outside of being an surveyor here, so guys like me have to learn the basics on our own, not ideal. Your videos however have proven to be a fantastic resource, so just wanted to say a huge thank you for the video uploads, I especially like the fact you address other units not just the Sokkia one you are using, here in the UK we see a lot more of Topcon & Leica units over the others so short mentions of what other manufacturers may do is a small but valuable touch. Cheers fella.

Thank you for the videos man, keep it up

Gotta love line work! I'm in beautiful east tn.... right at the foothills of the Great smokey mountains. You'd be impressed in the variety of trees we have. We typically pick up trees over a foot and identify them. We have many different trees around here it's insane.

good video. The first data collector I used was a lietz SDR-2. the office software was written by the company I worked for and I had some say in what was included in the software. I have also used a plane table to do a topo

[mariachoy]

Your video is very helpful! The English subtitles are very clear! Wonderful!! Thank you very much!!

[shamaelohimtv]

Woow!You are doing an Amazing work Sir.God bless you so much for this enlightenment.

Hi, Rami. I'm from Brazil and I'm very happy to discover your channel and videos. I'm currently studying cartographic engineering and you will be so helpful to me hahahahah. Thanks and congratulations, guy!

[rahimniazi]

Your info made Topography easy for me thank you 😍

[philippeconstantin]

Good vidéo👍, a surveyor from France, team Leica.😊
