Those blue crates will outlive every instrument they ship....truly my greatest contribution to the field.

Those things are robust - a high quality purchase.

They have some very very nice boxes!

Are you really that high in elevation you need supplemental oxygen while working? Or is it just a precautionary measure?

It's not required by the observatory. We decided to use it since we were doing a lot of manual labor (Michael's iPhone said we climbed 37 flights of stairs at 14000' at the end of the first day) and the two grad students hadn't been to this altitude before. We had a tight window to get things done, and if anyone got altitude sickness it would have been difficult, so it was nice insurance.
