T-1 day left in the field!
Things I have learned while at Zip Camp:
1. Blackflies are minions of the Devil.
2. A helicopter is a great way to beat traffic.
3. Be nice to the cook or things become unpleasant.
4. Bring winter clothes. Just because it's summer, it doesn't mean it's going to be warm.
5. Never trust map topography. A little creek may, in fact, turn out to be a deep river.
6. Target areas are generally covered in swamp.
7. "Night" is a relative term when it doesn't actually get dark.
8. Showering is optional.
9. You will never get as much reading done as you think you will.
10. One can never have enough socks or work gloves or movies on their computer.
11. Caribou are not as dumb as they look, just very curious.
12. Always ALWAYS bring toilet paper into the field (I will not name names, but you know who you are!)

Don't I look happy? I believe this was taken after the rain had finally made it through all 3 layers of clothing I was wearing below my rain gear.
