Like what you're doing, I am doing the same type of thing as tractors, but not on a big scale.

The one dude is kinda a baby. Totally understand folk not liking the wilds but then one questions why one would go after such a career?
It’s like this, if one is afraid of heights, maybe claustrophobic, then I would suspect the odds of such person becoming a pilot are slim at best. So if ya don’t like the jungle, and ya don’t like the “crawlies” then maybe don’t become someone who hunts down lost things in the jungle. Or if ya decide to face your fears then first, good on you, it’s how we grow, but second, don’t be such a punk about it.
