I'm assuming clearing brush from property lines for surveying. I've done it. It is hard work, but at least your not stuck inside all day.



And I'm like you, I'm used to it, and I feel sick in a way if I don't get out and work at some point during the day.

 

Yeah I guess I didn't make that clear. Its taking a bush axe and clearing a path through the woods for various purposes. Thick woods, no air, hot sun, bugs.... OH **** this reminds me...while I was home to NC for a couple weeks a surveyor died doing wetland deliniation like what I'm talking about. He got heat stroke and aparantly tried to call his wife for help but could only just make breathing noises. They found him the next day slumped over a true stump.

 

thats hot?? it was 100 deg. by 7am this morning..and will top about 130 today. and its not the hot month yet..thats next month..I love this primitave country I'm in.
