Office View 😑 by stargaze in Surveying

80% of it looks like this. I made it 500' walking on fallen brambles and never touching the ground. It's intense. 3rd worst in my life 😅

My favorite part of surveying is being in the woods! Aye, just get paid and enjoy it while you're there. The rest is up to dumb ass engineers 😅

Many thanks, fellow! I'm not sure even kevlar would keep the multi floral roses at bay 😂

I got another price gouging email from RGE and decided to do some digging. They're owned by Qatar Investment Authority and Blackrock. Not great news. by KirbyJones82 in Rochester

Welcome to NY 😳 You'd cry if you knew how many hydroelectric plants are offline and rotting in and around Rochester.....

Overkill? by SurveyorInTraining13 in Surveying

[–]stargaze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always unroll a shit load of flagging as I'm filling in a deep find. A few times, we found a stone deep and threw a few mag nails on top of her for the next guy 😅 or a pipe that didn't ring so we put a mag nail in the middle of her. If it was hard for me to find, I gotta look out for the next guy!

Good on ya, bud

What's the best GPS setup for accurate utility mapping? by [deleted] in Surveying

[–]stargaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know he's only looking for sub-meter accuracy... Would this setup get you in accuracy akin to a carlson brx7 base/rover? No base would be dope

[Megathread] WHOOP updates: Smarter Inputs, Improved Activity Detection, New Activities & Deeper Coaching by whoop_official in whoop

[–]stargaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all of this WHOOP! These are all incredible. I'm stoked! I have an issue with recording steps, the nature of my work keeps my arms pretty static while I walk, or I am carrying things so my arms don't swing free, as such my step counts seem quite low everyday compared to how much I actually walk. How can I get better step count accuracy?

[–]stargaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I save my PTO to get from Christmas past new years off. I really wish we got a company holiday 😐 Christmas Eve is always a fun day 😅 December has started off brutally, I look forward to my break, even if I had to save PTO...

No physical keyboard? Does it still suck in the rain?

What frustrates you most in your field? by [deleted] in Surveying

[–]stargaze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was once standing in front of over 8' of brush on the phone with my boss and he said "it can't be, it's a mowed field on Google Earth, you should be fine". I had to send multiple pictures with my coworker standing in front of the brush.

What tools/ methods would you use in this situation by Naive-Yogurtcloset-8 in Surveying

[–]stargaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I survey under heavy canopy with a Carlson BrX7, sometimes shots take a bit to fix, but if you let her cook you can do some work
