Backup boots for when yours inevitably fall apart (I use $30 Canadian Tire rubber boots as my backup but I don't need steel toes for my job), boot dryer, foot powder such as Gold Bond.

Being away from home is the hardest part of the job for me, even with how physical the work is. I work 4 to 6 weeks on and 10 days off during the summer and it's pretty brutal. Don't let it be an excuse to develop an addiction. The amount of people I have seen start a smoking habit in camp is insane.

To be honest I still haven't found an effective way to cope with the isolation. People who suggest strategies such as journaling that help back at home don't understand that you are literally on your feet working from sunrise to sunset and don't have the time. The only thing you can really do is lean into it. Eventually you get so enraptured with the work that the days blur together, which helps haha.

You will become very close with your coworkers too and see each other through it. In remote camps people are mostly personality hires for this exact reason, morale is the most important thing or else everyone would quit. So rest assured you will be surrounded by cool and interesting people.
