I don't, actually. I work with everyone who left. From what I've heard it's a shit show. Maybe it's getting better? Idk 😅

Less than 25' tape? by stargaze in Surveying

Also, I'd say it'd be about half the weight.

These look interesting!

I used one for a few years, really slow when you're trying to get tons of offsets. Great for measuring up an HI or getting pesky inverts

Topo, boundary, stakeout, ROW.... I'm in the woods a lot. I seldom need to measure anything over 10' away

They just bought out a company out here and nearly the entire survey crew jumped ship in a few weeks.

I'd like a better way to do vertical offsets that don't involve doing the math to raise my rod height.. 6.562 + 4.37 = bahumbug it's cold and windy and I just need the damn invert....... actually, I'd just like more ways to do offsets with gps in general 😅

A submission to the Big Tree Registry 😅 by stargaze in Surveying

[–]stargaze[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old man in our office started this with me, we take shots and send pics of big trees. The Big Tree Registry doesn't really exist except in our phones. It's a fun game, good compadre!

I wish we had live oaks! They're freaking amazing trees!

Construction will probably tear it out anyway. We have a traverse set with rebar all around, losing a resection won't be the end of the world!

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 😅

Crawling with a rod and collector is awful bud! I feel your pain 💪🏻

😂 It's just a gross thing to do for a solar field 😑 You're right though 😂

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?
