Hello beautiful people! I am Finally back from my 5 day field work. And tho I cannot disclose the location, client or nature of work, I would like to share the experience.
I was told there would be a 5 hour hike to the campsite, it was foolish of me to assume it would be on level ground. The first 1/3 of the path was basically scaling the mountain itself, but reaching the heights was rewarding. Seeing the lush forests, roaring rivers and birds soaring overhead. The nature of work was for conservation, so I didn't go with my usual team, instead I was as part of a small team of field biologist, with years of experience between them. Supporting our efforts were locals. People from the native tribes. We lived amongst the local wildlife, from mountain ratsnakes, monitor lizards, horned bills, kites, and small birds. It was a nature trip and work. No cell signal, no electricity besides a generator, just people and nature.
It was exciting, tiring, and at the end very emotional (because of how successful it was). It was certainly a first for me. But given the opportunity, it will not be the last. As Reinhardt from overwatch once said "I have been called, and I must answer. "
Here is a photodump:
