>>1037007congratulations on that.
Its definitely a great experience, being in the woods all day everyday, hiking through places maybe no one has ever been before.
Some people it takes awhile to learn how to even walk in the woods. some people never can, they just trip over everything all day, fall down alot and cry because there's no trails and they have to climb over or crouch under things, push and fight your way through the underbrush to move along.
It's a skill all in itself, keeping an eye on where your walking, carefully but quickly choosing your steps, and also making sure you don't walk into a branch at eye level and get jabbed in the face or something.
but you can for sure see some cool stuff out there, keeps you in shape too, being able to crawl up and down mountains through the timber all day gives you good endurance.
After I got used to working in the woods, I was way better at orienteering, reading maps, and reading the terrain.
Using tools like axes, chainsaws and machetes is a special skill too. and when you get fatigued, it can be easy to lose control of your tool, have to be extra cautious during those times or you could hurt yourself or someone else.
But its all great work if your on with a good crew.
