G’day all,
Can anyone who has or currently is doing 4 on 4 off please share their experience of the work (good or bad) compared with full on tramping?
As a rookie starting my first artic job next Monday, I have to decide whether I want to do Mon - Fri full tramping or go with the option of doing 4 on 4 off (followed by a fifth day shift if I want it). Any positive or negative feedback would be useful.
Obviously 4 days off is a nice thing as this gives me opportunities to see the missus some weekends, a bit of R & R and also I can still get to the gym on these days off. While out and about are any of you trampers able to do anything to help keep reasonably in shape when you’ve finished a shift? I’ve heard of some guys taking their bike with them and going for a ride in the evenings.
