Well done, matey. My hubby fifo, almost every night he gets on fortnite to play squads with me/ son/ Grandies. We're usually top 10, often top 5. So, if you've been eliminated by Poppy Jeff or Grandma 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It's how we keep connected with our fifo man. ❤

@Toby/Kim Ferguson Many thanks for your video. I am a Brit about to head to Pilbara, WA doing FIFO 2:1 rosters as an exploration geologist. I intend to work over here for about two years, starting in Oct 2022. Communication with loved ones is definitely something I know is important as I have a girlfriend back in the UK who I will go back to visit at least once a year. Calling her frequently using the on-camp wifi is something I intend to do religiously after shift work as well. I know this sounds ridiculous and maybe rather frustrating to hear so many times as an Aussie, but in the remote exploration camps (e.g. in Pilbara), what are the risks of spiders and other wildlife being in your shoes, in the toilet or other cosy places in your accommodation? Is this something I should worry about and what tips would you best recommend to me in terms of safely dealing with or avoiding such encounters? The thing is because I am working in exploration, these camps I will be in will be much smaller and away from mining towns and large mine camps. I think risk of wildlife intervening with accommodation therefore poses a greater risk. The average spider I can deal with but Australia definitely has some rather dangerous critters.

Risk of native fauna such as spiders, Snakes etc are always something to factor in, stay vigilant and cautious, always check your boots in the morning. Shouldn’t have a problem been working in the fifo area for years, They’re out there trust me, If you don’t disturb them they won’t disturb you.

100% mate FIFO is a hard lifestyle. It seems Rosey and great and there's no reason it can't be. But so many blokes and chicks waste their money, fall into a bad trap with health and no exercise and eating the endless junk in the food hall. I made these mistakes in my first year and it's easy to waste time and realise fuck how far did I come in a year.. hardly any cash in the bank, extra inches on the waist and feeling like absolute crap! And getting enough sleep! Most important thing of all! Healthy eating, socialising by playing sports or doing gym classes and getting info a good sleep routine for sure !

@tyronemayger40902 жыл бұрын
@@gtits1162 Because they have sporting facilities. The camp I'm at now has a basketball court which can be used for obviously basketball, volley ball, they also have a grass rugby sized field for soccer and touch rugby, cricket and AFL, they have a full sized Gym with cardio and weights section. They also have a fill size swimming pool with lap lanes. So yes you can most definitely play sports up here. The HLC's run fitness classes, boxing among other things and every night there is a different social sport between 5.30-6pm. almost all mine sites provide these services now days.
