Advancing toward death?

This month I want to center on those surveyors who are taking advantage of newer instrumentation that often requires but one worker, such as robotic and RTK GPS instrumentation. As much as we enjoy our "alone time," working alone means working without "spotters," if you will. Single person-operated equipment can be a blessing for sole proprietor business owners and managers in large companies alike, but opportunities for solo surveying could also lead to potential danger. The key word here is could, a conditional term.
