    Loved your video. Let me be the first to wish you a happy return to the Beet Harvest in 2024. You said something about laundry not being provided at the site and we listened so, in 2023 a Laundry Trailer was provided at the site at no cost to the work camper. It's also planned to have the Laundry Trailer again at the site in 2024 at no cost to the work campers. Hope to see you in 2024.

    This is the fullest description of “the beet harvest” I have ever heard. You describe as well as you film - beautifully done. Thanks.

      So let me try a translation: When the top of the hamburger bun fell off was perfect!" How'd I do?

    Hi Toby -- so glad the beet harvest job worked out for you and thanks for your review of your experience there. Nice to see the beach in the background which I am sure you are enjoying. Looking forward to your next adventure:)

    Sounds better than Amazon! I came across your channel 2 years ago when I was looking at seasonal Amazon work. Found your video on them to be spot on and have watched your videos since!

    Following the life of another person in quite amazing detail! What he eats, where he works, how he feels about the life he has chosen! Of course there is some editorializing but for the most part we get what there is! Imo this is priceless experience! Very thankful for the extension of life that we also get to live!

    Is life for working or for living? Maybe we have had the equation wrong? At least some people are answering that question with less work and more life! It is an interesting decision! Only time will tell how this choice works out! Best of luck!

    That was really interesting. I had no idea how beets were harvested but did not think it was anything like that. Thanks for sharing great video.

    I haven't done the beet harvest because I thot it was a lot of really physical work and 12 hour shifts would be too much for me even though I am reasonably fit. Now, I will reconsider. Thanks Toby.

    Your tale of Amazon was one of your best videos, I got so many chuckles out of your experience with that company and I still grin every time I think of it (I worked in a sweatshop and could relate to your misery, and might have been why I was so amused)

    Good for you. I have always preferred working outside. Was it at all dangerous? - Uncle T.

    You didn't say where exactly you worked. Or did I miss it? There are quite a few locations across a few states. Sounds like you lucked out location-wise. It would be helpful to know where?

    Hello Toby , I was wondering how you solved the problem with the sink requirement in your rig to work for Express Personnel . I have a self built mini van rig .I have no sink so I have been reluctant to go for it .

      🤔 It must have just been temporary because it seems to be playing fine now. Thanks for the heads up!

    So they put you up in a RV park, assuming that everyone that wants to work the Sugar Beet Harvest owns an RV? Well i don't own an RV.
