Some Hints from those of us who know....

First of all, the packing list is essential, when packing things up, label and check things off. Organization is the key in packing. Never assume that something will be packed by someone else. Assign one person the duty of organizing the packing. Have them start 2 days prior. They'll need to find out what equipment/manuals people will need. They also need to acquire the proper packing supplies, such as computer boxes.
Once at your basecamp, get things set up quickly and know where everything you're going to need is. For those supplies that you don't have, start a list of things needed and note which supplies are running low.
If a flagging color scheme hasn't been designated, make sure one is developed and everyone follows it. When working on roads, we found it most efficient to keep the same group on the road from start to finish. At least have one person who knows the area and can explain what has already been done. Six different groups six different days, in the same area tends to make for a rainbow of flaglines, and no continuity in the road.
If you're organized, it goes faster.

Field Reconnaissance

Supplies for the Field

Essentials:

• Bring at least 2 rolls of orange and 1 roll of any other color, for each person.
• Make sure you have the correct maps.
• Bring a waterproof marker for writing on the flagging in the rain.
• Bring plenty of water.

Taking Notes in the Field

Helpful Hints:

• Have everyone use either Azimuths or Bearings to take directions. This makes it easier to merge data within ROADENG when you are consistent.
• Be detailed in writing comments, such as size of rock outcrops or cause of possible slide potential areas.
• Be consistent with note taking format.
• Write clearly so that others can read your note.
• Make sure you have enough paper!

In the Office after Being in the Field

Helpful Hints:

• Refill supplies for the next day, such as flagging, paper, or toilet paper.
• Enter ROADENG data while it is still fresh in your mind.
• Bind each set of field notes and store in one central place for later reference.
