They also have some great looking wild trout fishing (a lad on here posted about it while he was posted down there). If it was possible to go down there, cull some caribou and roam about spinning for trout and whatever else at an economical cost, I’d be all over it. Don't even need a rod there, just hand speed and a shallow stream lol 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they tried to eradicate them to protect the native flora as the population density was more than the grazing could sustain, they killed thousands, got the numbers right down or maybe even eradicated them.

What sort of instrumentation do you use? Downhole tools like wireline? I'm out of all that now. Geological investigation on site now . 5m auger holes for compressive strength , particle size displacement and sheen tests 8m excavated pit for soil profile assessments trial pits for axial strength and cookie cutter samples hope that makes sense…. And before any of the usual non starters say anything 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like the requirements are for construction. Some of it is similar though. Core samples are pretty standard for analysis in shallow stuff, go deeper and the process and analysis becomes more demanding iirc, hence the need for downhole kit/measurements. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
