A women doing her masters project under the Colorado Geological Survey

crazy man living in the forest. The event was captured on cell phone.

Should geologists be allowed to map alone? Most of my field work has
been alone.

A good tool to have in the wilderness is a Firearm, 9mm, or 40 - 45 caliber,
for personal protection. I never leave home without my AmEx and My Colt.
So far, it has bagged me about 25 rattlers, sent a cougar scurrying away
(did not try to hit it), but no crazy people, yet. You would not believe
how difficult it is to shoot a rattler with a pistol, but a laser sight
helps. In the bright sunlight of the desert, the laser is so dim, it can
only be seen 10-15 feet during the day, though. We need better visability
lasers for sighting purposes.
