For the last 2 weeks I have been working in a remote mineral exploration camp in Northern Quebec, Canada, flying the helicopter that assists the team in logistical operations. I decided to film the last Drill Move that i did in an attempt to put something together worth watching, and maybe it will be worth something to someone.
Diamond Drills are used to obtain geological core samples from hundreds of meters below the earths surface, and in some remote locations of the world, are moved from one spot to another via the use of a Helicopter.
This is not a traditional "how to" guide, but more of a "watch me to this thing" content.
As I mention in the video, I'm not the best pilot in the world, and some days wouldn’t even consider myself a good pilot. Irregardless of the way i flew this day, I decided I would piece something together and throw it out into the world
