Hey! I’m new here and I think this place is awesome. I work at a natural reserve in my country and a friend recommended I join to share some of my experiences. So go ahead, ask me whatever comes to mind! Don’t hold back—silly questions, personal ones, weird or random stuff—everything’s welcome. Let’s get curious, friends.

~~What is your typical day like?~~ seems like another user beat me to it. Let me ask instead: what is the most useful tool you use at work?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Intercoms and a rope. You don't know how many times I've needed rope for all sorts of situations. Also a hunting knife, it works for all sorts of situations.And a book, there's almost no phone service in the reserve, so a book helps pass the time.

Nice! I imagine you go through a lot of books in a year!

Follow up if you have time: what book you've read recently that you'd like to recommend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The last book I read was Foundation, the collection by Isaac Asimov. I had never read anything by this author before, and honestly, I loved it. I think I'll start reading more of Asimov’s work—his way of portraying dystopian and futuristic societies feels really beautiful to me.

Never read any of his works before, have to give it a read. Thanks for the recommendation :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're welcome! If you end up liking his work, I'd be happy to discuss it and share the things I liked and the things I didn't.

I'll be sure to give you a notice! I will probably make a post about it (which you are welcome to do sooner if you wish!) to e.g. [email protected] too!
