For a good couple years I got to walk along beaches and take water samples of every culvert, pipe, and natural drainage I came across within specific zones. There were some logs and sticks to climb over, but also deer, elk, eagle, seals, and orca. Also birds if I knew or cared about birds.
It really felt like a nice blend of all of these, quite frankly, and had it not been grant work I’d have kept on doing it most likely.

Nope! Had to look that up. The post10 person appears to do work associated more with public works. Similar though. I was monitoring water quality for fisheries and aquaculture. Public health vs public works.

In case you’re interested, I believe post10 is primarily in property management now, which gives them the financial freedom and free time to do all the stuff they do in their videos.
The YouTube channel started (at least when I came upon it) with them clearing beaver dams out from culverts (using their knowledge from the public works you referenced to determine whether doing so was both safe and legal). Once that demonstrated itself to be surprisingly popular, they started adding videos about other stuff. Personally, I like the camping videos the most.
Caveat: I’ve done no research whatsoever other than watching their videos.
Thank you for your service!

Kayaking down the big creek here and found a nerd on the side of the creek, stomping around in the muck. He was so out of place, and how the hell he got there I’ll never know, but we stopped and asked what he was doing. Collecting turtle data! My man! We owe much to people like you.
