Sounds like a lot of Hot air on an internet forum. I must be getting pretty close to the reality judging from the reaction. I have every right to question your bona fides when it seems you trade so heavilly on them, to the ridiculous point of making out you are some sort of hero for working remote. I only people who I have real concern about are my aqaintances, some of whom monitor Hot Copper and trade. A Lifetime ago I worked as a Drillers offsider (Diamond) near the CSR. Ive never talked my deeds up and neither should you "Showbags"

I mean really this poses a wider question about the credability of people and information on forums such as these. I warn all participants on these forums against taking all information and even personas at face value.

I ask you is the following a statement you would accredit to a tertiary educated proffesional in the field of Geology.
GEOVIZ"It seems to be the accountants who get all the fun jobs, boozy lunches and credit while we are stuck out bush for weeks and sometimes months on end stuck on a rig, mapping and sampling in extreme conditions.

For example when I worked in the Tanami desert, during the summer it would be 50 deg+ in the shade and 95% humidity (this is by 9am), working for 40 days straight living out of a tent with not even a radio signal. World war 3 could start and we wouldn't even know! Very few people can survive that kind of isolation and conditions. It was so hot and humid you would drink 10-15 liters of water a day and wouldn't urinate once. Believe me living out bush isn't what some people think.

Then I was sent of to Africa for 3 years living in the malaria ridden, witch doctor rain forest’s of Ghana working 100day straight stints. I was the only white person on site!"

These statements are not credable in my opinion. "Witch Doctors Rain forrest for 100 days straight and the only European.........C'mon pull the other one mate.
