Knowing how much skill flying a helicopter takes, longline operation is so impressive. A good pilot can put a hook on a 100 foot rope right in my hand then hover over me until I hook it onto the barrel of poop, then they can smoothly pick it up and fly away with it.

The logistics of backcountry outhouses are wild.
