Wow, I just can’t imagine living under those conditions.......I guess if that’s been the only life you have known, you don’t realize that there is a better life in a warmer climate......
A bud of mine from a former life worked on the Alaskan pipeline. He had some hellish stories to tell, but the pay was great and every two weeks, they flew you to Anchorage for five days of R & R. He earned more in a year than most people doing similar work earn in the lower 48 in three or four. And they don’t get 10 days twice a month for some deluxe R&R in Anchorage.
