I'm interested in this topic as well...

ask them about the turnover this past season.

Is there a story here? As in you've heard a reason why many are not returning or is this general good advice.

Wow! I've never wanted an RV until now.

The classes one needs be wary of are the ones labeled 'H2S Awareness Training' or 'H2S Survival' etc. etc. They may even give you a certificate or card but these are NOT what is actually required in field. You are looking for the copyright version; 'H2S Alive!' (with the !), and the school MUST be a...

p.s. The first aid attendant in the last picture should be wearing gloves, have cleaned the cut and applied skin closures before prepping the bandaging. These boys are old-skool hardcore.

I for one hope there is tons of (possibly quiet) interest in this. All works of this fashion have a glossary, it helps to keep the newbs on track with you. 'Cache' is not a silvi only term though, it's quiet old, like.. 'old english' old. I'd hazard a guess as to military origins so maybe even WAY b...

yeah it's definitely the sound of them and not the bites.

There's plenty of things you can do to relieve bites afterward when you're not on the clock but 200 buzzing incessantly around your head for hours distracting your attention and decreasing your efficiency sucks. If only this did work!
