Many geologists that work in sub surface mapping use guns (mostly heavy gauge shotgun or explosives) to cause vibrations that bounce off dense rocks or liquid (oil) so that they can map what the sub surface looks like.

  I'm a geologist.  If you're working in the Yukon/Alaska, you carry a gun to protect against bears.  If you're working in Central/South America, you have a team of dudes carrying guns to protect against other teams of dudes with guns.  Finally, if you're working in the lower 48 and carrying a gun, you probably grew up watching too many westerns. 
 
  
 
I don't get it. The "killing" and trophy collection is somewhat analogous to poking a whale with a pin then taking a scraping of its skin cells.

Maybe the truck's text doesn't need to be partly rewritten on the transcript --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.69.237|141.101.69.237]] 20:20, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 
:Thanks, maybe you can help to rewrite this overwhelming transcript. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 23:14, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
