Knew someone who did this for a few seasons.

He said that to take the most advantage of the short season, people would get high on crank and work as many shifts as possible.

He also said that the dangerous nature of the job attracted a bunch of fruit-loopy types.

I don't know which is worse. Nature... or cold, wet, burnout fruit-loops on meth.

discovery channel did a little spotlight on the videographers who shoot the show. they rated them as having the 2nd most dangerous job. and as a fellow videographer, that was sweet to see.
