I'm actually more of a liberalist but it's just the way the country runs over here. If any SHTF happens there will likely be some sort of draft or move to wartime law. I've done my conscription service and will be holding my rifle if I get the order. Kinda sucks but it is what it is I suppose. Of course I don't believe Big Brother will take care of me until the end, that's why I stack too, but society probably won't devolve into a violent chaos due to pretty much every citizen being a military reservist at the end of the day.

>You can also take the tops off trees from a helicopter
That's kind of hard core lol
>Next the sample is dried and burned down to ash and tested for metal content
Ooohh okay
>Next question, a grab or chip sample from an outcrop is again considered different than a soil sample. A soil sample program is to find targets for further exploration, usually done when you have deep top soil over bedrock which remote sensing equipment cant penetrate. The map generated from this work allows the geos to figure out where to focus the more expensive trenching or drilling program later on in the projects life cycle
Alright, grab/chip samples are different, something supplemental I assume. So a soil sampling program only has to be done when you can't just get proper targets for further exploration with an IP/EM/MAG survey? Or are you talking about different equipment when you say remote sensing equipment?
>As for bags, any bag will do, but we use standard sand bags for this sort of thing, or just home hardware buckets
Seems much more labor-intensive than I had thought originally!
>Also you want as little organics in the soil sample as possible as they often carry concentrated amounts of metals which will throw the sample off. It also makes the guys life at the assay office easier.
I had no idea plants carry that much metals but I suppose it makes sense
>Finally yes a few guys can do a line of test holes (1-2km long usually) in a week or two, but your going to to dozens if not hundreds of these holes over a massive area to get a clear picture of whats going on, and it gets hard fast.
Damn looking at that picture just reminds me of my time as a conscript, digging a foxhole during the winter lol. Yeah seems like a LOT of work after all. BTW, what're you going to do at your Thunder Creek (I believe that was the name?) claim next year? I remember seeing a picture with some trenching done?
