Started working on a geophysics crew at 18 yrs old in the mid-60's. We would move the Drilling Rig and Recording Truck along with the crew trucks in the middle of the night.
I would sleep in the back of a pick-up in a sleeping bag when it wasn't my turn to drive. The old-timers took the road through Yellowstone one night and I woke up to a bear cub climbing into the bed of the pick-up. I couldn't get out of the bag fast enough.
And, I survived.
