winter is coming

so i am back at camp,  i got back on friday after a long day of travel.. I havnt been able to write sooner as the internet has been sucking big time here.
looks like ill be here for a while, so this time i fully unpacked my bag and put it in to shelfs etc. hopefully ill be home by october but all depends how long they stay open.
lots of visitors this week, coming in to see how the camp works,  the host company have them come in to see how they are taking care of the land etc. etc.
so fall is here , the small bushes are changing color the hills around us are all orange and red  , its quite beautiful. andwhen the wind blows from the north it gets cold.  i guess at night time it is around 6 degrees or so and today it wasnt much warmer than that.  good thing i get to work in the kitchen all day.
thats all for today, ill try to write more soon,  when the internet works

breaker, breaker

so in every camp they use radios to talk to one another and most camps have multible channels,  not this camp its all on one.  and we have a radio in the kitchen plus i keep one on me during the day, in case of emergencies.  also we have check ins as there is always people doing work out in the " field" we call it the field if they are workin g out of the camp.  there are alot of goverment natural groups up here doing envirimental studies,  checking water, counting fish, wild life etc etc.. every exploritory camp has to gomthropugh to make sure when they do mine, they can return it it the way it was.  so any way everyday we have atleast two to 4 groups out in the field and they have to call in at 10, 12 and 2. if they dont check in and i cannot get ahold of them within 15 minutes .they send out a helicopter to go find them..we have a map in the dining room where they pin their location and a board where i check off there check ins....
even if i went for a walk, 1 i must take a friend 2 i must take a radio, 3 if going more than 3 kilometers must take a sat phone 4 and if going for a period of time put a pin on the map.5 most important  we must wear a high visible vest, one of those bright florescent yello vests.  the one i wear i swear you could see me from the moon.
we playe frisbee golf again tonight.. we wore our vests and took a radio,  the little course we have set up is just on the out skirts of camp..  but goes up a little rocky hill and has amazing views. we saw a single caribou mowing down on some grass. and i ate some wild bluberries.
two more work days then i get to go home.

caribou

so i guess i missed a herd of caribou today, around 250-300 of them,  i am told that is a small amount and that thney some times travel in the tens of thousands.  which would be incrediable to see. i have seen our one caribou that hangs around the camp. thats it.
so its sunday night already that means only nfour more working days till im out of here.  so looking forward to being home.
i am likeing it here tho , pretty easy job although i do work about 12 hours as i just work when im a wake.  so its been around 32 days ive worked straight, come friday ill be ready to relax.

the way the cookie crumbles

so im still here... yup until next friday the tenth , which is fine by me..  extra work = more money. anyway they need ed to me to stay as my new replacement wont be here till then,  then ill have two weeks off then back here till the endo f season at least 4 weeks but probably closer to 6.
anyway  its steak night and i gott get to work.
ill try to post later

out of my control

Well its nice to be wanted, aparntly the company here has contacted my bosses and asked if i could come back, so we will see what comes out of that, its out of my control,  they just email me a itenerary then off i go.
so mentioning that i got my next gig, they changed it once again as i was supposed to go back to izok but i guess they changed there mind, so now ill be going to pistol bay nunavut. august 12th,  doesnt leave me much time at home, but i have to work while the camps are still open.  so sacravices have to be made... i am tired and cant wait to be home to relax.. even if its only for 6 days  lol
