Some places I've worked and stayed are just as remote, but quite different.

I think Offshore platforms are harder still. Those I never over-nighted on, just day trips.

Good old oil business. Hard work in the middle of no where. I think I like software better, easy work within walking distance of a dozen restaurants (some of them good).
