Gawd...
It would have been awesome to wear jeans and a tshirt off shore like those guys on that land rig in the clip.
Their ppe, helmet , light gloves, eye pro.
Prob reg steel toe boots.
Go up on that deck on the GOM.
Summer
Ocean flat as a mirror.
0 breeze.
Bout 125° with the radiant heat from the metal being baked all around you.
Wearing fire resistant coveralls, new ones not washed a dozen times were the worst.
Always held onto your worn out thread bare ones.
Armoured gloves O dextrity with those things
Armoured boots frankenstien specials
Helmet
Eyepro.
Bout miserable during days.
Waiting for mid hitch crew change to go to nights.
Always end on nights before the bird back to land.
Excellent money.
But you most def earn it.
