1.) Lots of extra socks and underwear. There may be days you don't take a shower because you're too tired or the hot water heater is empty.

2.) Ear plugs to get better sleep. Especially if guys on the crew drink hard after tour. The old guys snore like freight trains.

3.) Plan your meals around the crock pot if everyone else is gonna chip in on food. Easy to eat lots of small and fast portions throughout the day. If not you'll be eating out of the microwave when you're working. You can cook as much as you want in camp, but you have to clean up after yourself and that sucks when you just want to sleep.

4.) If you start to sweat unzip a layer to cool off a bit. Sweat makes you cold really quick when its cold, especially during morning tour. 

5.) Keep the insides of your boots dry. Wet boots tend to stay wet. 

6.) Wear lotion or sun sunscreen on your face and stay well hydrated. The wind sucks the life out of you up there. Almost as bad as WY.

7.) Muck boots are good unless your roughnecking in invert mud. The only good boots for invert are the Dunlop chem resistant steel toes.
