If anyone has any geophysical cable horror stories, fire away!
The ideal mix for maximum competitive cable-coiling energy is one A/V tech, one rock climber, one sailor, and one topologist.
How-to... Over/Under
Now try it with a seismic cable that is 20kg and 100m long ;)
We always used a method called "horse collaring" -- but I can't find a video description because everything is about horses ;)
If you have a different way and it works, you are golden
Over worked, under paid. That’s how I was taught to wrap cables…
Spools and reels are cheating, right? ;)
